THE GOVERNOR ENJOINED.
Judge Hazen Holds That Steward But

Judge Hazen Holds That Steward But
Ter of the Asylum Can't Be Ousted.
Judge Hazen today sustained the in
junction asked for by Steward Butler, of
the Insane asylum, against Governor
Morrill, and Morton Albaugh of the board
of charities, to restrain them from re-
moving him from office pending investi-
sgation. Judge Hazen held that the
toward of the asylum had certain vested
rights which the governor could not
override He held that while the gov
ernor in a general way had bower to re-
move bonding an investigation, he does
not have authority to name a successor
to perform his duties. In Steward But
ler's case his functions are such that the
institution would go to smash without
steward to look after the stores The
governor ordered Morton Albaugh of
the board of charities, to take charge of
the stores.
Butler claimed also that his office is in
no wise connected with the charges
against the asylum at large; that his
office is in no way joined with any other
asylum office, and further that charges,
if any, should be brought against him
independent of other asylum officers,
and that he is entitled to separate ex-
animation from the very nature of the
charges.
Butler represented also that he had in
his official possession large quantity of
valuable stores for which his bondsme n
would have been liable. He said it
would be unjust both to himself and his
bondsmen to turn these stores over to
Albaugh. as the governor had dire cted.
He accused Governor Morrill, of usurp-
ing authority not vested in him.
Judge Hazen evidently thought Butler

PLANS FOR The BIG BRIDGE
Hudson Rivers Span Nill Guido the
One to Brooklyn.
1t VIII Be of Suspension Structure,
$50 Feet Above Maximum High
water-Immense Anchorages.

Just thirteen days before the expira-
ton of the year allowed by law for the
submission of satisfactory set of plans
for the great bridge across the Hudson
River the New York and New Jersey
Bridge Companies yesterday submit tea
to the Secretary of War the rough draft
OF plans for the bridge.
One set of plans was submitted last fall
and was rejected by the War Department
on the ground that it did not provide for
clear span bridge, but had piers OBJ
structing the river Whether the set put
in yesterday comply strictly with the de-
partment's demands remains for the en-
gineer Officers to decide. -.
The physical features of the bridge, as
revealed in the drawings presented, present
no novelties in construction, and the struc-
ture apparently differs from the Brooklyn
bridge only in its far greater size. 1t will
be supported by four main cables, carried
aloft 600 feet above tidewater on great
steel towers of open construction.
Each of these towers rests on eight
masonry piers 100 feet square at the base
and with foundations going down 100 feet
through the sand and mud to bedrock
On the New York side the pier is exactly
on the pier line OF the harbor, while on the
New Jersey side the tower appears to
stand about hundred feet beyond the ex-
tremity of coal pier
The total length of the clear span is
$3.50 feet. and with the approaches the
bridge viii be about $500 feet long.
The width in the middle, the narrowest
point, will be sixty feet clear.
The anchorages are immense masses of
masonry 125X150 feet square, and they
cover the best part of two blocks. on the
New York side extending from Sixty sew
enth to Sixty ninth streets. The maximum
clearance OF the doorway will be 100 feet
above mean high water
