Active HostIites Again In the Traotion
war at Bridgeport.

BRIDGEPoHT. Dec. 1O.-Since the incident at
the Main street crossing In this city. where there
was a pitched battle between employees Of the
New York, New Haven and Hartford road and
the Bridgeport Traction Company. matters be-
tween the two corporations have been quiet
with the exception Of an injunction or two in
the courts. This morning. however. hostilities
were resumed The line Of the traction CON-
pany to Southport, on which the first car was
run yesterday. passes under the tracks OF the
railroad at Fairfield avenue. The wires OF the
trolley were attached to the bsidge. At 81
o'clock this morning an engine y It'll q passenger
coach approached the bridge where the wires
were strung. 1t came from the direction Of
New Haven, and when II stopped from out ths
car swarmed q lot of Italians. In an instant
the cable containing the wires of the traction
company was severed.
1t took but u moment 10 do the work. and then
the men boarded the car again and II started of
At full speed toward New Haven. The railroad
company did not know Of the action OF the
traction company in running their ears yester:
day until late. at night. When they learned OF
IL the train load Of men was seat to cut tho
wires. Tho trouble will probably be settled by
the traction company taking their wires from
the bridge and strfnging them on poles of their
own.

GOULD PERSONAL TAXES,
Tax Commissioner Tn Contenpt fer Not
ResPecting Two Writs.

Aespectin8 Two "rits.
Justice O'Brien decided, In the Supreme Court,
Chambers, yesterday. that the Commissioner of
Taxes are in contempt OF court. for having re-
fused to make any return to tho writs Of certio-
rari which were obtained in July last by the
children Of the lato Jay Gould, to review the
assessment of the personal property of the Gould
estate at $40, 900, 900, and the assessment Of the
personal property Of the heirs for taxation in
this county. Justice O'Brien holds that the
writs were made rsturnable properly. and that
they were valid orders of the court. mas
much as the rights OF the Gould estate
and the Gould children. however. have
not been impaired, the Justice holds that
no punishment should be visited upon
the Commissioners. provided they make their
return within . time to be fixed, so that tho
questions raised as to the right to tax the per-
sonal property OF the Gould estate and the chil-
dren may be finally determined. He therefore
reserves the question of punishment for the pres
emit; but says that upon the Commissioners COM
plying with the order and making the return
within the time fixed the punishment shall be
RENTED. other than the payment of the costs
OF these proceedings and OF the several motions
to the Gould children
The Tax Commissioner maintained that the
writs were irregular in form, and therefore
void. The Court says not.
The order which will be entered upon this de-
cision will M the time within which the Com
missioners may file their return 10 the writs.

We have no doubt that those few of the
Chinese here and elsewhere who have been con-
verted TO Christianity are Just as sincere in
their religion al most other people are. 1t seems
remarkable that SO very small a proportion of
the Chinese residents of the United States have
accepted the Gospel. even aftsriiving for twenty
or thirty years in a Christian country. The Bible
IL in their language; there are missionaries and
Sunday schools for them. and the churches are
open TO them. Yet nearly the whole body of
them remain faithful to those ancient rites
which VIC call pagan.

DR.. Abbott aud the Liquor Dealer.
The Rev. DR.. ABBOTT of the Plymouth
Church in Brooklyn is protesting against
the grant of license for an additional liquor
saloon on the line of the new bridge plaza.
The applicant, according to the minister's in
formation, Is prepared TO spend ell 900 in
fitting up the new drinking place, but, as
there are already thirty-six saloons within
two blocks Of the bridge entrance, DIR. AB-
BOTT is OF the opinion that no more are
required.
The man who wants TO open the new
saloon must be of a different opinion, or he
would not be willing to invest SO much
money in the mere preparation Of it. He
can reply to the parsons assertion that 1t is
not required. by saying that that question
can be determined only by the success or
failure of tbs saloon. Il cannot succeed
unless there is q demand for IL, and such
demand to q man OF business Is proof
enough that 1t Is required. knowing the
situation and as q dealer experienced in the
trade, he is ready to take the risk and put
up $1,000 TO support his Judgment.
He can say also that II there are already
thirty-six saloons In the neighborhood, one
more eannOt harm il, and that really ths
only people with whom it would inter
fers are those interested in other saloons

The last of the important services rem
dered to the people Of New York by DR.. JENKINS
as Health Officer of the Port has been his in
spection of the provision made at European
ports for the sanitary care of emigrants bound
for the United States. He recently returned
from a foreign tour, during which he visited the
chief seaports from Naples to Liverpool, and his
official character enabled him to obtain q COM
plete knowledge of the arrangements made at
each of them, and to suggest such improve
ments as he conceived to be desirable. There Is
no doubt of the usefulness OF his inspection.
DIR. JENKINS term of Office will soon expire.
We can but hope that his successor will be a
man Of not less merit and as jealous and efi-
cient as he has been in the administration of
the affairs of his office during the past two
years. He deserves very high commentator
for his services In protecting the city and the
country against epidemics during these trying
years.
The place Of Health Oficer OF the Port Of New
York is one of very great Importance, and 1t
tho large salary of $40, 900 O year,
The holder of 1t must be a man who apprehsnds
the grave responsibilities with which he Is in
trusted. He must be q man of vigilance, ener-
gy, and integrity. fearless in the discharge of
his duties, a frst-class physician of the best SCI
entifc requirements, a skilled inspector, and q
competent administrator He must possess all
the qualifications which are embodied in DR..
JENKINS.
There Is keen competition for the place among
the physicians of the city. Upon Gov. MORTON
rests the responsibility OF choosing that one of
them who at the end of his term will deserve
the professional and public commentator
which its present incumbent has won.
