PROGRESS or THE NEW RRIDGE


The Commissioners If the new East River
bridge reached conclusion yesterday in refer
ence TO the charter and claims Of the East River
Bridge Company. and decided to acquire It's
rights for the sum OF 100000 There was a
time several months ago when the Commission
crs felt that they might properly ignore the com
pany altogether and they proceeded to act on
that basis. Careful examination, however.
showed that II would be TO the advantage Of the
public in constructing the bridge to use lands
held by the company and therefore that It
would be necessary to acquire its rights, either
by purchase or condemnation Condemnation
proceedings would be certain to involve long
delay in the work OF constructing the bridge
and were plainly to be avoided IL possible. The
attitude first assumed by the Commissioners had
the good effect Of inducing the officials Of the
company TO modify greatly the demands they
had made. and the price at which they were
finally willing to come TO terms was only one
fourth Of what they asked In the first place.
The action taken by the Commission yesterday
will, we presume. be generally approved. But
in some minds ii will he regarded as a needless
concession to company which made large
promises and actually did nothing. How much
OF vitality there still is in the companys char
ter Is "A question that could only be fully deter
mined by prolonged litigation. The counsel Of
the Commissioners hold that the charter is valid,

year is nearly half finished. some time In De

months before the year begins. The success Of
Secretary Of the Treasury depends in great
measure upon his faculty Of avoiding grave
errors on the wrong side. The following state

Foster, in 1892 for the fiscal year 1893, and at
the same time for the fiscal year 1894, and the
subsequent reports Of Secretary Carlisle, in each

There Is a suggestion Of crablike movement
in the existing arrangement whereby the Police
Commissioners are not at liberty to promote n
detective-sergeant 10 captaincy without re-
ducing him TO the rank Of patrolman and
making him first roundsman and then reg
ular sergeant. Thus Acting Captain OBren
cannot be made captain without going through
the course indicated. although he is now at the
head OF the detective force and ought to be
eligible to direct promotion. The Commission
ers hope to secure legislation that will permit
such promotions to be made, and a bill provd
ing for them will be submitted at the coming
session.

IOPIC.'OF THU TIMES.
United Evangelical Congregation
Preparing New Quarters
for Worship.
HIRED DOUGHERTY'S HALL
THE PHOENIX HOSE COMPANY TO HAVE
ABUILDING WITH A WHITE
STONE FRONT.
II is Expected the Structure Will be
Completed by Next Fall-TO
Cost About Seven ThouS-
and Dollars.

The United Evan gel cal Association of
town is now engaged in making arrange
ments to vacate the church at the corner
of Cherry aud West streets, under the
decision of the Pottsville court, giving
the Bowmanites right to possession of the
property The latter have not made a
formal demand for the properly since the
decision, but it is expected a represents
tive will do so before the close of the
week.
In anticipation of this demand the
trustees of the congregation last night
hired Dougherty's hall, at the corner of
Jardin and Centre streets, as a place of
worship and if the church building mus
be actually vacated this week the hal.
will be used on Sunday for the regula
services. Tonight the congregation will
meet in the church to consider the change
of location arranged by the trustees.
The members of the congregation are
very much pained by the result of tn
law suit. Some of them, especially thos,
who have attended worship in the church
for over twenty years, say that to vacate
the edi ice is like leaving an old home
stead and it is particularly distressing to
be obliged to surrender the property
without a return of any of the money
they have put into its construc ion, re
pairs and improvements.
Some of the trustees went down to
louisville yesterday to consult counsel
on the advisabiity of taking the case to
the Supreme Court, but it was decid,
that nothing but delay could be gained
by such a course and the congregation
had better start in at once to establish
itself elsewhere.
