TIL Brothers Byrne kept a large audi

who have seen this production before
need not hesitate to go and see 1t AGAIN

toward making it a new play; Inc
tumbling and acrobatic feats OF the

wonderful Zone Horse Shay is more

the steamship crossing, the British

about and buffeted by the angry waves

they were standing on their heads or

ship.

Gozzle the love sick Irishman and made
his part as funny as ever. The dual
part of old Beeswax, the School Mas,

GRANT AVENUE WANTED.
EEse west Side Connecting Railroad
Partitions for Hts Vacation.

The West Sid Connecting Railroad
filed a petition with the Street and Water
Board last night for the vacation OF a
portion of Grant avenue, 60 feet wide
and about $50 feet long, in the West
Bergen section of the city The vaca-
tion is desired so as to enable the COM
oany to build a branch line from tine
Newark and New York Railroad over
10 the Morris Canal. The company IS
believed to be a branch of the Central
Railroad.
The filing of this petition reveals an
extensive railroad scheme to skirt the
slope of the west side Of the Hill with a
line which will afford direct commune
alton with the National Docks, Lehigh
Valley, Baltimore & Ohio, pennsylvania
New York, S-usquehanna and western,
Erie, Delaware, Lackawanna and West
arn, and West Shore Railroad systems
on the east side of the Hill. The scheme
of the company is in opposition to the
road who's line is to run along
the base of the Hill on the east SIDE.
The latter company has made fair pro-
gress with it's work, but the legal com,
iunnelling under the P~ennsyiyanl Rall
road at the Point of Rocks Is a barrier
which has stood in the way for years,
summation of the plan fofhsome time to,
COME. This line proposed switching
freight and passenger trains, but 1t Is
understood that the connecting line OF
the West Side Company. is intended
more particularly a. a freight and coal
transfer. ~
This part of the programme, however,
does not show itself in the petition filed
with the Street and Water Board, nor is
it shown that the company is identically
he same one which has been making
West Bergenites pass sleepless nights
lest they should wake in the morning and
find a railroad line across Yale, Pollock,
Culver and Fisk avenues. It is the same
company, however, n the intention
is as stated above.
ASnew way to dispose of any opposi-
tion which may be raised by West Ber-
aenites has been tried. Every parcel of
property on either side of Grant ave-
nue. at the point where the vacation is
desired, has been bought by the com
pany so that objections, if any are
raised, will come from property owners
not directly affected by it..
The line will be constructed from the
Newark and New York Railroad and
extend northerly to the Morris Canal.
Title to property which will enable 2
speedy completion of the remainder of
the connecting link has been acquired;
and as soon as West Bergen Is passed
the work will be rapidly pushed for
Jersey City will be completely hemmed
in on every side with railroads.
Property owners are TO be given an
opportunity to demonstrate against the
vacation of the avenue if they desire.
