WANT THE CITY ENJ0lNED.
LitchGeld Heirs Fight Against Pay
ing Those S2.OOO,OO BACK Taxes.

The fight OF the heirs of the late f. c,
Litchheld. the pioneer real estate owner
of South Brooklyn, to evade the payment
of nearly 100000 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.
Litchhcld, for an Injunction restraining
the city authorities from collecting the
taxes.
The application was based on the lie
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 u purchase
lands for Prospect Park. The city oh
tanned an option on the Litchhcld 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, IL 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 its 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
the franchise had only reached a hear
ing before the Aldermanic Railroad Com
mittee, by THE Evening World"
Mr.. Crimmins took time by the fore
lock, and some weeks ago carted the ma
terial to be used in constructing the
cable road and stored 1t along the line

The work had progressed for the dis

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 resolu-
ton granting the franchise.
Alderman Oakley. opposed the taking
of any action on the resolution to-day,
because of the absence of nearly a 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.. Crimmins,
was, he said, ready to put 500 or 600 men
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 16 to 7

Mrs. Vanderbilt's Marble Palace
Is Being Prepared for Her.

No Need OF Going There II a Recon-

There appears to be every indication
that Mrs. William X. Vanderbilt in

ter months in her magnificent marble
palace at Newport, K. l. This is the
home her husband presented her with as
birthday gift, which, 1t was predicted
only a few months ago, would never
be occupied by It's fair owner.
Rhode Island is celebrated for more
reasons than the fact that Newport Is
among the most fashionable of watering
resorts. The divorce laws of the State
have in a manner the sanction of the
Rt. Rev. A. N. Littlejohn, Bishop of
Long Island, whose daughter sought
their aid to free her from the bonds OF
matrimony which chained her to ex-
Corporation Counsel OF Brooklyn Almet
F. jerks.
An absolute divorce can be obtained In
that State under the following condi-
tons:
Any case where marriage is void or voidable by
law, where either party Is for crime deemed
civily dead, from absence or other circum-
stances presumed to be dead; extreme cruelty;
wllful desertlon for hve years: or for a shorter
time in discretion OF Court; continued drunken
ness; neglect or refusal part of husband to
suitably provide for wife. or for any other gross
ties repugnant to or In violation OF the marriage
covenant. and where parties have lived apart for
ten years. Residence OF one year required. NO
statutory provision as to remarriage.
The fact that corps of servants and
workmen have been engaged to put Mrs.
w. X. Vanderbilts residence in New
port in order Is looked upon as conclusive
evidence of her speedy home coming.
R,,t hot he IN thia p
for the purpose of burying forever the
differences between her husband and
herself by divorcing him or effecting a
reconciliation is the question which
many people are debating to-day.
Newport during the Winter would not
seem calculated to attract Mrs Wander
bilt. nor does there appear to be any
good reason why the renewal Of II happy IpHy
York as well as In a country home.
II Ret the oR hs Ssxe q ol M
ton. Mr.. Depew, however. declined to
discuss the subject in any sense and as
serted that he knew nothing of the pri-
yate. affairs Of Mr.. and Mrs. w. X.
MIR. Henry C. Du Val would not even
hear the matter mentioned.
These things would indicate that there
is no pleasant news to communicate on
speak on the subject.
Mr.. Cornelius Vanderbilt who is In
this city ostensibly on railroad business
would not permit an interview. me ad-
ditional fact that Mr.. Frank w. Van
derbilts steam yacht Conqueror has
paid quiet visit to these waters, led
many to surmse that Mrs. Vanderbilt
had sailed from the other side and that
the Conqueror was in readiness to re-
ceive her.
This. however, would seem to be only
a surmise, as no definite information
concerning Mrs. Vanderbilts departure
from the other side has been received.
Her coming at an early date is almost
a certainty, however and there seems
to be excellent reasons for the impress
sion that she really intends to obtain a
divorce from her husband.
