Welles, City Works Commissioners White
and other members of the cabinet, en-
tered into conference at eleven o'clock
at the City Hail. The object of the con-
ference, it was said, was to devise meas
ures to compel the companies to start

Lawyer Mirabean L. Towns announced
this morning that late last night he
applied to Justice Gaynor of the Su-
preme Court for a writ of mandamus
to compel the Brooklyn Heights Com
pany to operate its lines, and that the
order to show cause had been granted.
The order required the company to come
before him at special term of the Su-
preme Court to be held at 10 o'clock on
the 23d day of January, 1895, at the
Court House, in this city, and show

to forthwith resume the operation of its
lines, and why it should not forthwith
