Decisions Inruring the Per>anency OF the
Thirty-fourth street lire.

Two decisions were rendered by Justice
Truax of tho Supreme Court yesterday which
clears up the legal obstruotions TO the con-
struction and operation Of the Thirty fourth
street railroad. The Judge admits that the
motions were properly made, because the road
did not have legal consents from half the
property owners when the construction began,
but he decides in favor OF the road because It
has since obtained moro than SUFFICIENT con-
sents.
One Of these motions was made by Horace
Russell in behalf of Alfred L. Loomis and sew
eral other property owners to punish the road
for contempt by making II replace the street in
its former condition, because II violated an in
junctive judgment obtained in 1885. The other
motion was made In behalf Of Martha J. Wy
song. who has property at Madison avenue and
Thirty-fourth street, for an injunction against
the further construction and operation OF the
road.
property along the line is 500, of which
$6,sI2250 should be represented In consents.
The road ig all had had secured $4,000 in con
leaving S6.si3,30o. The Judge decides that
s722,500 OF these consents are invalid TOR one
s24s,5 more than the half required By law.
The defendant admits" says Judge Truax,
that consents to the amount oc S6SS,S0O have
been obtained since 1t began to construct the
road. and 1t attempts to Justify its act in begin
advised BY lis SC counsel that ali said &c, consents
were valid. II the defendant is allowed all the
conditional consents that have allowed but Is
not allowed the consents that have been re-
voked or that were excluded because made by
executors or others having no power to make
them 1t did not have tho consents Of half
OF the owners OF property on Thirty
fourth street, and therefore Il was not
authorized to construct the road. But as it now
has enough consents, IL would be unreasonable
to compel ~ to undo the work IT has done. IL
bear the SsS expense pc % OF this tisation %
The Judge decides that in the Loomis case the
road must pay counsel for plaintiffs $1,000,
and in the Wysong the road must pay her
counsel $500. The formal statement is made in
the decisions that the motions for contempt and
for injunction will be granted unless the road
pays these amounts.

GILRoY VEToEs ITS FRANCHISE
No Cross-tswn Railway at Eghty-sixth
street just Yet.

Mayor Gilroy heard arguments yesterday in
regard TO the construction OF a railroad through
Eighty sixth street. from Central Park TO Tenth
avenue, franchise for which has been granted
by the Board of Aldermen. The Forty-sec
street, Manhattanville and st. Nicholas Avenue
Railroad has tracks running through the Cen
trail Park transverse road at Eighty-s sixth street.
and from Tenth avenue to Riverside Drive, and
wants the Intervening two blocks TO complete
the line.
Persons who don't live in Eighty-sixth street
want the road completed. Persons who do live
in that street are opposed, and say 1t will depre-
ciate their property.
After representatives OF both sides had spoken
Mayor GilrOy said that he had just received an
opinion from ths Corporation Counsel that the
franchise granted by the Aldermen did not
comply with the provisions OF the amended rail-
road law. His only course, therefore, was TO
veto IL. The announcement was greeted with
cheer by the Eighty-sixth street property hold
ers.
The opinion from the Corporation Counsel
said that the franchise did not comply with the
law, as IL was not sold by public auction. The
law provided that permission could be given to
build a road less than half mile in length IL II
was 10 connect two established roads, but while
the railroad people had declared such TO be tho
fact, 1t was not so specified in the franchise,
which was therefore defective.
The railroad people by getting q properly
will have another opportunity to put the road
through. There Is no road running all the way
across town now between Fifty-ninth street and
l25th street. The proposed road would supply
the deficiency at Eighty-sixth street and con-
meet the east a nd west sides.

eoOO worth or Goods.
For the second time In six months Brill Bros.
dealers in mems furnishing goods at gil Sixth
avenue, have been the victims of an adrotly
executed robbery. Thieves broke into the store
some time between 1 o'clock on Tuesday after
noon and 8 o'clock yesterday morning by way of
the transom over the front door. The fact that
the corner Of Fourteenth street. near which tho
store is is brilliantly lighted did not in the least
deter the robbers. They stole about $500 worth
of canes and umbrellas, gold lockets md watch
charms. and several gross of silk handkerchiefs.
The robbery was discovered at o'clock yester-
day morning BY Max Brill. When he attempted
TO get into the store he found the front door
could not be opened. because the heavy glass

one OF the employees climbed through the tran
som and opened the door.
the door had been smashed and all the contents
removed. From the display wires overhead
many handkerchiefs and muffiers had been
contained only six or eight lockets, where there
had once been nearly 500 worth. In making
this rich haul the burglars had not taken any
thing that was more than twenty feet from the
hurried through their work without doing much
exploring. There Is not an hour of the night or
day that pedestrians are not passing that part
of Sixth avenue. and MIR. Brill is much puzzled
soon as the robbery was discovered 1t was re-
ported at Police Headquarters.
The other robbery of Brill Bros store was
wall OF the fourth story OF the adjoining house.
They broke open the safe and got 5000 in cash
and $50 in stamps. II was thought that
"Sheeney Mike" and his gang were the thieves,
but after their arrest they were discharged for
lack of evidence.

over fence, and ran home.
On Christmas morning she went into Theo-
dore Kayser's store in Graham avenue. near
Meserole street, where she stole flannel shirt
and put 1t under her shawl. Louis Becker, a
salesman, saw her and summoned a policeman.
She was taken to the Stagg street station house.

Egus used TO live, had taught her TO steal. and
when the opportunity presented itself she could
not resist She was kept at the station until
yesterday, when she was again arraigned In the
Even Street Police Court.
Justice Watson was surprised To see her. and
asked her how she had got out OF st. Joseph's
Home. She told him, laughingly.
She was committed into the custody OF the
Society for the Prevention OF Cruelty 10 Chill

Goods Not Delivered Quickly Enough at
the Pubuc Stores.

All Collectors Of the Port OF New York have
at times been showered with complaints Of
tardiness and negligence on the part of the
Government contractor who delivers the goods
from steamship wharves to the public stores in
Laight street. These complaints are filed with
the Collector during November and December

the importations are especially heavy and 1t is
necessary that the importers get their goods

SHE HAS NO STANDING IN COURT.
Elizabeth c. Tayior's Action for . separa-

Elisabeth e. Tayiors Action Tor . Sepnra-
tion Cannot Re Entertained In This State.
The action brought by Elizabeth G. Taylor In
the Supreme Court for a separation from Mil
lionaire Henry A. Taylor was knocked out yes
terday by decision of Justice Lawrence of the
Supreme Court sustaining q demurrer to her
reply. When the suit was brought the defend
ant set up not only that the allegations were un-
true. but that Mrs. Taylor had no standing In
court. as he had obtained an absolute divorce
from her in the Superior Court of Now Haven,
Conn. In 1890. The plaintiff put in reply stat
ing that the decree was the result of q fraud
and void. Taylor demurred to the reply, hold
ing that the decree had been opened on allega-
tiOns OF fraud and that IL had been reafiirmed.
Stripped Of legality the decision means that ths
action cannot stand because Of the Connecticut
decision.
The plaintiff married Taylor on July o, 1881.
She war his second wife. They separated about
five years ago. She said that he used 10 Ill treat
her that he was intimate with the servants,
and that he had sent her. TO Europe in 1890,
after serving her with n summons In order 10
get rid OF her by decree. The ground OF his
action was her alleged intemperance. Taylor is
q banker and member OF the American Yacht
Club.
