Men and Women Passengers Climb Over the
Gates 90 E-eape from the Stalled Trains.
The engineer Of n train that drew out from
the Grand Street station on the Third Avenue
elevated Just after o'clock last night heard
something snap sharply. and the train came
to an abrupt standstill before all the cars had
passed the station platform. A heavy thud
followed the swapping sound. and the engineer
jumped out and found tho end OF one OF the
driving rods o, the engine lying on the track.
The main pin OF the rod had broken and let
the rod fall. Tho latter had been bent By the
fall The breaking OF . driving pin can or
dlnarily be repaired in Ave minutes time.
The bending OF the rod caused a delay OF
nearly three-quarterE OF an hour. and block ed
the entire line Of the down track from Grand
street beyond Twenty-third street. Work men
disconnected the bent driving rod, and the
motor OF tho train behind pushed the dis
abled train to Chatham square where II was
switched of.
The passengers on the disabled train got off
easily at tho static but Passengers on the
guards. Of course. refused TO open the gates.
ami In ANY cases in the blocked cars above
Ninth street the passengers elambered over
the gates and dropped to the board walk be-
side tho tracks and trudGed to the stations.
Sometimes men lifted women up over tho tons
There was a good deal OF excitement and
sport in this unusual method OF leaving the
cars
When 1t became known at Ninth street that
the breakdown at Grand street was somewhat
switched on and started up town to avoid an
extension OF tho blockade to the stations
above TwentJ-third street.

VIEWPOINTS RIG SCHOOL WAR.
A Big War For n Little PIace-Details o
 the Contest.

tnf SOutebt
 Newtown, Sept. 1.-The public schoolhouse in the Gray Plains district has not been opened this season, owing to peculiar troubles that have arisen between an ex-member of the school board named Martin Ryan and his successor. George Winton. For several years Ryans daughter has been en- gagged as the teacher in the school. but as soon as -Winton was elected in his place on the board Miss Ryan was asked by the board to resign to give way to another teacher. Miss Ryan refused to do so and she was upheld by her father, who claimed that his daughter had been reappointed teacher in the school during his time as member of the school committee. The matter Is being stubbornly fought by Winton and two other members of the school committee, and with the result that the schoolhouse has not been opened this term.
 The young woman has employed counsel in her interest and every day since the school term was opened she goes to the school. The doors, however, have been barred in the attempt to keep her out. The other members of the school committee have been ap- pealed to by the young woman and her father, but they all stand by MT, Win ton in the course taken and they refuse to act otherwise. The latest develop ment in the trouble Is suit that has been brought against the school com mittee to compel them to pay Miss Ryan, the salary for the term for which she was appointed. The schoolhouse in the meantime remains closed.

 The New York Sun says: Two in- teresting annual reports are printed further on in this column, namely, those of the New Haven and of the Lake Shore railroads. Considering the condition of business during the period covered by those reports. the showing, like that of the St. Paul company, published early in the week, are ex- ceedingly satisfactory. Both compan- ies are able to make the returns they do owing to the superior condition of their properties and the ability displayed in managing them. Large amounts o1 money have been expended upon both roads. and apparently to great advan- tage, in reducing grades, strengthening the lines, and increasing the trackage. The Lake Shore company, owing to the location of Its lines, has been able to effect these important changes sooner, and perhaps at less expense, than the New Haven company: but when the last named has completed the improve ments it has under way, it will, like the Lake Shore, be able, to handle its traffic with lighter motive power. which means reduotisu in cxpsrkes and less wear and tear upon its, roadbed.',
