Miss Rena Hathaway takes
this plan Of returning her hearty
thanks to her many friends for

sion so great a success. That
each one may know how great
was the success she wishes to

The State penitentiary cotton
crop will aggregate nearly 1000
bales. The aggregate loss to the
State by the decline in prices is
$4,000. But, if the State will
hold the cotton and advance
money for the penitentiary rum
ming expenses, the price may
rise. The corn crop, says Supt.
Leazer, amounts to 10000 BUSH
els. 1t is probable that the pen
itentiary will pay out clear this
year. greatly to the credit of Mr..
Leazer.

WANT THE CITY ENJOINED.
LitchneId Heirs Fight Against Pay
Ing Those s2,OOO,O 900 Back Taxes.

The night OF the heirs of the late F. C.
Litchfeld, the pioneer real estate owner
of South Brooklyn. to evade the payment
OF nearly 5000. 900 OF taxes to the city
authorities came up before Judge Glenn
ent in the City Court this morning.
The proceedings were brought in an
application In behalf OF Grace DEMO
Litchneld. an heiress OF Edward g.
Litchfeld, for an Injunction restraining
the city authorities from collecting the
taxes.
The application was based on the de-
cision OF rendered recently by the United
States Court. which declared that the
city could not legally collect the arrear-
age Of taxes. The taxes date back to
1856. when Brooklyn began TO purchase
lands for Prospect Park The city OBJ
tained an option on the LitChfeld estate
and the owners believe they are not
responsible for the taxes.
Recently Registrar OF Arrears Hin
richs threatened TO sell the estate, which
caused the matter TO be brought into
court. II Judge Clement grants the mo-
ton made for the injunction this morn
ing, and II Is made permanent, II will
prevent the city from forever collecting
taxes on the property covered by the
option. Decision was reserved.

AS CRIMMINS knew.
Aldermen Grant Him Permission
to Lay Tracks Legally.
Railroad Committee in a Hurry to
Take Action.
Perhaps Several Hundred "Constit-
uents" May BE Put to Work.

The ability OF Contractor John d.
Crimmins to foresee the actions of the
Board of Aldermen is now beyond dis
pute.
The Board at it's meeting to-day gave
to the Metropolitan Traction Company
permission to lay tracks from the juno
ton OF Columbus avenue and One Hun
dred and Ninth street through One Hun
dred and Ninth street to Manhattan
avenue and thence to One Hundred and
Sixteenth street.
In consequence of the granting OF this
franchise Contractor Crimmins may now
resume the work of laying tracks
through One Hundred and Ninth street,
which was interrupted by Public Works
Commissioner Daily a week ago.
Commissioner Days attention was
called to the fact that work on the ex-
tension was being pushed by Mr.. Grim
minis through One Hundred and Ninth
street. although the matter OF granting

Mr. Crimmins took time by the fore

men. MIR. Crimmins set gang OF men
to work opening One Hundred and Ninth
street. and preparing 1t for the road bed.
The work had progressed for the dis
lance OF nearly one hundred feet when
The Evening World called attention
to the fact that the law was being ig-
nored.
When the matter came up to-day
Alderman Morgan. Chairman of the
Railroad Committee, offered a resolu-
ton granting the franchise.
Alderman Oakley opposed the taking
OF any action on the resolution to-day
because OF the absence of nearly third
of the members of the Board. Many
of these Mr.. oakley declared. were de-
sirous Of voting on the question of
giving away the franchise to the Met
ropolitan Traction Company.
Alderman Brown favored immediate
action by the Board giving as a reason
that Contractor Crimmins was being
hampered In his work. Mr. Crlmmins.

at work as soon as the franchise was
granted.
There was no getting over any such
argument as this, and the resolution
was passed by a vote Of Is to Z.
