EXPRESS TROLLEY SCHEME
COURTS MAY BE ASKED FOR AN INJUNC-
TION AGAINST THE ROAD.
THE EXPRESS COMPANIES THAT WOULD BE
HURT ARE SAID TO HAVE THIS PLAN NOW

THE EXPRESS COMPANIES THAT WOULD BE
HURT ARE SAID TO HAVE THIS PLAN NOW
UNDER CONSIDERATION.
There Is more than possibility that the courts
may interfere with the plan Of the Brooklyn
Heights Railroad Company to begin to operate
express cars by electricity on June II. The troll
ley express cars being manufactured
by the Stephenson Company. and the contract
with the National Express Company Is to begin
a week from next Monday
The express companies that would benefit by
this arrangement are the National and Amer-
can. which are practically one. The other COM
panies will suffer in the same proportion that
these two would gain by having their freight car
ried by rail. The Adams, Wells-Fargo and Long
Island companies will be hurt but the concern
that will suffer the most Is Westcotts. West
colt has the local contract for handling the
expressagc Of the American National and United
States companies He would lose the first two
companies 1t was yesterday said by a man
connected prominently with express company
that the Westcott people were looking up the
law with n view to applying for an injunction
TO restrain the Brooklyn Heights Company from
carrying express. John II. Paul. superintendent
for Westcot.'s denied this to a Tribune reporter,
though he admitted that his concern would be
hurt.
TT is my opinion" said Mr.. Paul. that the
Rrooklvn Heights company has no legal right
to carry express.
Henry Name who Is attorney for Westc)tt said
that had not yet been asked to look up the legal
status Of the situation. He added: Il would say.
ofrhand that the Brooklyn Heights company
has no right to make this departure Its charter
expressly states what business 1t may do and
docs not state that II may carry express packages
II Is even denied that the steam excursion lines
running TO the eseashore have right 10 carry
freight and express, they are not given that
| right specifically In their charters. Complaint
was recently made against some or them 10 the
State Railroad Commissioners. Certainly a
trolley road would not have moro rights than
they have.
The National company has opened temporary
headquarters AZ the end Of Fulton-st. II VIII

preseage through e. such points as East New
York Flatbush and Bath Beach and then dis

run up into the hundreds OF thousands.
The southern end of Long Island was
swept OF hotels and houses, and the
Cape Charles lightship drifted TO sea.
The storm was central OF the south
New England coast, and dangerous
gales continued from Atlantic City
northwerd to Eastport. Tne wind
reached It's maximum force OF 50 miles
per hour on the south New England
coast.
The New Jersey coast was furiously
ashed, and an immense amount Of de-
struction has been wrought. Railroad
beds are worked out, traffic is suspend
ed and communication with many OF
the popular summer resorts is entirely
cut Oft
The schooner yacht Novelette,, from

was flooded TO Commercial Place. The
water got into the machine shops, the
Clyde and Old Dominion Line ware
house, Roper's big peanut house, Nor
foil; Milling Company and other places and
caused damage which must run up into the
thousands of dollars. In Nevison, Com
merce and other adjacent streets tho water
was equally as deep, while in Roanoke dock
schooners were on level with the street.
st Virginia Beach the damage is serious
and will amoant to several thousand dollars.
At Cape Henry the wind blew 60 miles an

The Storm Over.

New YORK, Oct. l3.-Afser piouret-
ting along the coast for several days,
causing devastation and terror wher-
ever its force was felt, the West Indian
hurricaue has finally been lost sight Of
in mid ocean. The wind, which was
blowing from the northeast shortly a
ter midnight, shifted to the northwest
at o'clock and decreased in force to
such an extent that its velocity was
only six miles at 8 o'clock. Perhaps
the most serious damage done by the
cyclone is yet TO be learned, for it Is
known that delay, il not damage. has
resulted to number of passenger aud
freight steamers bound to and from this
port, several Of which are overdue.
The Old Dominion steamer Guyan-
dotte, which arrived here this morning
from Norfolk, is the first vessel to ar
rive from Southern port since Satur-
day. She left Norfolk last Sunday
evening at o'clock and encountered
the full force OF the storm, but fortu-
nately sustained no damage.
