gineers of the War Department In the

third street
The plans were exhibited and ex-
planned by Mr.. Lindenthal for two hours

scribes as q condition OF the construc-
ton of such bridge that 1t shall not be
located below Fifty ninth street nor
above Sixty-ninth street, New York City.
1T was learned that Mr.. Lindenthars
plans call for structure &. 400 feet long.
with eight tracks. six for steam railroads
and two for rapid transit lines. The
towers are to he 800 feet high. and the
span IN the centre OF the river to be lao
feet above high-water mark
The bridge Is to have a centre span OF
3.lW feet between the towers and 800 be
tween those and the anChorages The
distance from the anchorages to the end
OF the bridge IL to be 800 feet on ca oh

Judge Gildcrsleeve Hears Argument
and Reserves Decision.

Judge Gildersleeve. of the Superior
Court. to-day heard arguments upon
n motion made by Lawyer John h.
Parsons, counsel for Taber Bros, OF
Pearl and Wall streets, to punish the
officials of the Manhattan Elevated
Railway Company for contempt OF
Court for what Mr.. Parsons character
lied as IA fragrant and deliberate vio-
lation of an injunction of the Court
restraining them from operating their
road until they had paid judgment
for $4,000 awarded the Tabers.'
The Tabers have been at loggerheads
with the Railroad Company since 1878,
when the Elevated structure was
erected in front OF their premises.
Litigation began in 1854 when the Rail
road Company attempted to acquire title
TO the easements Since then the matter
mas been almost continuously In the

voiuminous litigation makes a book OF
more than one thousand pages. The suit

Before the trial OF the case the Rail

that the Supreme Court had absolute
authority and Jurisdiction in condemns

such proceedings were pending in the
supreme Court when the injunction
was issued by the Superior Court
acted as stay to the injunction and
relieved the officers of the Company OF
being guilty OF contempt of Court.
Much OF the past litigation OF the
parties was gone over at length by the

Your Home Paper.

Your Home Paper.
We find in an exchange the follow
ing very pertinent article concerning
the local newspaper. We commend
its careful perusal to the readers of the
REGISTER;
When YOU are about to withdraw your
patronage from your home paper in order
to subscribe for some foreign paper have
you ever thought that the home paper
is really the one of most profit and
pleasure 10 you?
Your home paper is the only one di-
rectly identified with the interests OF
your home and neighborhood in which
YOU live. Have you ever read in the
columns of any foreign newspaper any
thing which thrilled your heart with JOY
and pride as did the item relating 10
your success and prosperity, or the adj
vancement of your son or daughter, Oh
the tender tribute paid to some depart
ed friend-all of which you have clipped
from the columns of the home paper
and have laid away as mementoes, TO be
read and re-read each time with great
Interest,"
Your home paper is directly interested
in your welfare and the welfare of the
town. No other paper is interested in the
prosperity of your town. No other pa
per will assist in getting manufacturers
to locate in your town, nor will they
make known the advantages of your
town. Toits prosperity you can contrib
ute by words of encouragement ana gen
erous patronage No one thing can &c
so much towards the general welfare OF
a town or community as can local news
paper. Then ought not business men
and citizens generally feel deep inter
est in the welfare of their home paper,
and contribute generally to its support.
