Grants to the Roads Not RevOcable by the
 Council.
 Brooklyn, Feb 7-Mayor Schieren has vetoed the resolution of the com mon council adopted February 4, revok- ing the charters of the trolley railroads. In his message the mayor says:
 Tt is plain beyond doubt that the re- spective grants referred to are not re- vocable at the will of the common coun- cil, and that the revocation sought to be declared is void. My duty is there- fore plain-to disapprove the resolu- ton.
 Tt could have no effect whatever in law and no effect, in fact, except for mischief. There has been already much disturbance of the public order and any thing tending in the least degree to the continuance of disorder ought promptly and positively to be discouraged. In my judgment such would be the tend- ency of the resolution now being consid- cred. {,
 q desire, and shall do all in my power to see to it, that the fundamental right of every man freely to work on such terms as satisfy him shall be recognize ed and protected; and that any inter- ference with the exercise of this right shall be prevented"

G. H. Wilkinson's horse started to run from in front of Simpsons block 1 yesterday afternoon. A collision with
 one of the posts across the street broke

 lision with a sleigh occupied by Mrs.
 M. J. Olmsted and her mother caused
 more excitement, but not serious dam

 to the starting place, where the horse
 was stopped without further casuali- ties.

vEw SCHOOL IN FAIR HAVEN.
A $76,OO0 Structure to Replace School a
 Grand and Clinton Avenues.


 Grand and Clinton Avenues.
 Plans have been completed for the new school at the corner of Grand and Clinton avenues. The building will have | twenty rooms, three stories and will be of brick. It is to replace the old struc- ture now located there. The plans are to be submitted to the board of educa- tfon at their meeting tonight by Arch itect W. H. Allen, who was directed to prepare them.
 In the proposed building the entrance is located in the center of the building, with broad stone steps leading to it. The building has been designed to meet every requirement., and although there is little by way of ornamentation, the structure will be agreeable to the eye and will be a great improvement over the factory-like buildings which make up the large majority of those owned by the district.
 The building will have a high truss roof, slated, and dormer windows pro- jecting from the four sides. The first story will have quoined courses of brick, the remainder being laid fin plain courses. All the windows will have circular arches. Very little terra cotta will be used, most of the orna- mentation being of cut stone The in- terior is to be finished in hard pine and vanished.
 The main dimensions of the building will be 146 feet by 94 On the third floor there is to be an assembly hall, about 50 feet by 70.
 The clock and bell in the old school will be placed in noble looking tower
 The building may be of buff brick with granite trimmings, or red brick with Long Meadow stone.
 The estimated cost is $75 5000
 Bids are being received by the board of education for the removal of the building on George street at the foot of College street, where the new twelve room building is to be erected, and it is expected that it will be cleared away so that the work of constructing the new school building may be started by March 15. Besides the twelve-room building there is to be kindergarten school These buildings were designed by Architect L. w. Robinson and will cost about $50,000.

Opposed by Harvard.

Boston, Feb. 1.-The Massachusetts Medical society has voted to debar from it's membership all graduates of the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Boston. This course was undoubtedly hastened by the facts brought out in the shurtleff case in connection with the manner in which the college issued di- plomas. Various causes are given for the action taken. One is that the Har- yard medical school is opposed to the school.
