LOVES HIS ENEMIES.
Mr. Delmar Contributes $40 to Aid
Striking Workman.

A story was told in the vicinity OF the
Brooklyn City Hall this morning which
will tend to soften the bitter feelings
entertained by some of the compost
tors who went ON strike against the
newspaper printed by corporation
headed by John Delmar, the we'll
known politician of the Twenty-second
Ward. who has been credited with be-
ing the cause of all the trouble between
that newspaper and its employees.
Last Spring Mr.. Delmar ordered Il
reduction OF wages. The compositors
objected, and one of the principal ayi-
who denounced Delmar and insisted
upon tying up" the establishment.
The compositors and the pressmen
went out. and the strike has never been
settled.
itecently Mr.. Delmar resigned the
Presidency. OF the company, and II was
.umored that he had been forced out
~ the other owners. who objected to
ais course in antagonizing organized
abor. The rumor has been denied.
Mr.. Delmar was finishing his supper
asst night at his home, l05 Ninth street,
south brooklyn, when he was called to
he door, and there recognized his vsi-
or as one OF the strikers.
DO you remember - said the
.aller, naming the agitator spoken of.
Well. he is in very hard luck. After
he strike his wife was taken sick. He
has eight children and has great diff
;ulty In providing for them. He has
sought work, but has been unsuccess-
iul
Now the family Is on the verge of
starvation. and unless help comes the
'amily will be separated. His wife will
ave to be sent to a hospital and the
'hildren to an orphan asylum"

Wealthy politician why didn't you
,ome to me before?"
He led his visitor into the library and
aking seat ut a desk wrote a check
or $50.
Give him this" said Mr.. Delmar
and If he needs more, come again"
The visitor was so much surprised that
ne could scarcely humble his thanks.

The proposition OF the Populists Is

efforts are now being made with the
workingmen in Chicago. Both here and
there the Populists have forestalled the
Socialists, who sought amalgamation
with the toilers.
Both the Populists and Socialists rep
resent radical extremes. and of the two.
the Ocala ideas of the Changers for
bringing about the millennium seem to be
more alluring TO the wage-earner.
The general opinion among working
men Is that they cannot secure the over,

a cause which Is still In extreme in
fancy In this part OF the land. To
carry out their purpose they must sup

ENGINEERS REPORT READY.
Will Be Sent to Secretary Lamont
To- Morrow.
New York and New Jersey Plan May
Soon Bc Settled.

The Board OF Expert Engineers ap-
pointed by President Cleveland to con-
slider the most desirable span lengths for
the big New York and New Jersey bridge
to cross the Hudson River between Fifty
ninth and Slxileth streets, has completed
its labor, and is now prepared to present
report TO the Secretary OF War, whose
decision Is final.
The report Is A voumlnJus one, and
will be sent to Washington tomorrow.
As far as has been made a matter OF
public record, but two plans for the
bridge have been presented TO the Board
for inspection. one plan favors the cam
tilever form, the other the suspension
construction.
The cantilever plan would necessitate,
II adopted. an expenditure OF about $l5,-
Oc,DO the suspension scheme about $751;
10000 Both constructions. II is claimed,
can be completed In four years, the time
limit set by Congress
The first set of plans presented were
that OF the New York and New Jersey
Bridge Company. which is organized
under an act OF Congress, and has also
State aid. This scheme provides for a

level. As already told in 1.-THE Evening
World" about the most suitable loca-
tions for this bridge on the New York
shore are between SiNty-second and Six
ty-third streets. Opposition to this plan
was developed from two quarters when
the Board met.
The New York Central Railroad Com
pany. through President Chauncey
Depew, whose corporation controls
nearly all the water frontage. claimed
traffic The Bridge Company disposed
OF this objection by showing that their
traffic way was LOO feet over the rail-
road tracks.
The next objection was made by. the
Board OF Trade. The special committee
brandt, who submitted plan for a
suspension bridge with a 3,O00-foot draw
span. The Board claim that the can't
lever plan would block river navigation
by Its piers being SO far out In the
river. and. through Mr.. Gustav Schwab,
made an energetic effort TO knock the
cantilcver idea out. Their suspension
plan was n more expensive one by three
or four millions than the cantilever
plan.

no circumstances would the Board make
publ It's findings. That was reserved
for the Secretary of War.
1t was stated. however. that It will
not take the Secretary over fifteen min
and II Is highly probable that one plan
has been fully indorsed and the other
has been just as strongly reported on
adversely.
