IN FRONT or FLYING LOCOMOTIVE

THE WIFE OF J. F. d. LANIER. THE BANKER. AND
A FRIEND BRAvELy RESCUED FROM AL
MOST CERTAIN DEATH.
The bravery OF George Akers. OF Westbury. Long
Island on Wednesday saved Mrs. j. +. ID. Lanier

a locomotive, and probable death. The two women
started to drive across the track at the railroad
crossing at Westbury late In the afternoon. just
as the horse was driven 10 the crossing an extra
engine was approaching. To go ahead meant
instant death, and the women became so frightened
and bewdered that they neither attempted 10 go
ahead nor TO back their horse. Akers rushed up
grabbed the horse and swung him around by the
side of the track just the express whiried past
One moment later the locomotive would nave
smashed into the carriage. The railroad crossing al
Westbury Is dangerous. especially on the west SIDE
as a train cannot be approaching until one Is
the crossing. a..
Several witnesses OF the rescue cheered Akers FOR
his timely rescue and there is talk OF getting up a
purse for him. The company Will also be requested
TO place a gate at the crossing. -
Mrs. Lanier is the wife OF the banker. James f
d. Laner, OF this city. Mr.. I.anier Is member OF
the Meadowbrook Club at Westbury, and has
handsome country home north OF the village, where

NO EXTRA SESSION OF THE ALDERMEN
MAYOR STRONG MAY ACT ON FRANCHISES AT
RICHFIEID sPRINGs-AIDERMAN GOOD
MAN TALKS.


The chances for a special meeting OF the Board OF
Aldermen TO receive applications Of the street stand
holders for permits faded vsibly yesterday. Chief
Clerk Ten Eyck said that the crisis seemed to be
over the police disposed 10 act leniently
until the permits could be legally granted. Few APP
plicatons received yesterday at Mr.. Ten
Eyck's Office.
Acting Mayor Jeroloman declined TO talk yes
terday either about extra session OF the Board
or the pending franchises Alderman Goodman said
yesterday that there would be no special session.
He added Nearly all the Aldermen are against
1t. There would be howl at once from the people
who would say that the excuse OF relieving the
owners OF street stands mere subterfuge and
the meeting was really intended to afford means for
legalzing the franchise Of the Peoples Traction
Company and the West Twenty-third-st. ferry.
without giving the Mayor the chance to act on them
allowed by law. These facts when presented to
Acting Mayor Jeroloman. convinced him OF the
folly Of calling the special meeting. especially as
under existing conditions the standkeepers need no
relief at once"
1t said yesterday that Mayor Strong meant
to act on the two franchises at Richfed Springs.
IF he does So" said an Alderman yesterday.
"he cannot avoid having the question OF the le-
gality Of the proceeding raised. as II Is doubted
whether his approval while out of the city would
be legal even Il the first ten days Of his vacation
had not expired"
