NOW FOR A
FERRY WAR.
The Staten Island Rapid Tran
sit Company Will Con.
tinQe It's Service
ITS RIGHTS UNDER THE LAW.
Privileged to Land in New York
All Persons Carried on Its
Railroad
ST. GEORGE RESIDENTS BARRED.
Howard Carroll Says the City
Must Protect His
Lease.
"One ferry or two?"

"One ferry or two?"
Two ferries or none?"
Those are the stereotyped forms of
greeting now in vogue on Staten Island
and on the boats from st. George to
this city.
Since last Saturday the staen Island
ferry franchise, which was sold to How
ard Carroll on that day, has been the
one absorbing topic OF conversation
among the residents Of Richmond
County.
The apparent dilatoriness Of the new
lessees of the ferry privilege has caused
considerable comment, and the stand of
the Rapid-Translt Company has mys-
tilted everybody.
To-day Howard Carroll returned to
this city and states emphatically that he
intends to run the only ferry line be-
tween the islands Of Manhattan and
Staten Island.
On the other hand, Lawyer Boardman,
of the firm of Boardman. Tracy & Plat,
counsel of the Staten Island Rapid
Transit Railroad. is authority for the
statement that the Staten Island Rapid
Transit Railroad will not take of its
boats tomorrow. as threatened.
Mr.. Boardman said to-day that under
the law a railroad has the right to run
ferry to land passengers in New York;
that under that law the Rapid Transit
Company could carry all passengers
that rode in the cars of the Company,
but could not carry any wagons or
trucks.
The boats, 1t Is stated, are to run to
the slip in New York of the ferry run
ming to Thirty-ninth street, South Brook
lyn, which is controlled by the Staten
Island Rapid Transit Company.
Mr.. Boardman says that the only per-
sons the Rapid Transit Company cannot
carry are those living at ST. George,
that being the termini of the two
branches Of the Compary's railroad and
