The foundation was laid yesterday
for long and exciting law suit be-
tween the Missouri and Kansas Teie-

Manager ChipchaSe was arrested for
not complying with the ordinance levy
ing license tax on each phone and be

Manager Chipchase Immediately took
an appeal 10 the district court by Civ

The telephone company viii attack
the cOAstituuOnality OF the ordinance,
but il appears that the same question
was practically attacked before and the
supreme court decided in favor OF the
city
The whole matter Is a fight on rates.
The city demanded that the rates on
phones be reduced TO a certain sum,
and upon the company refusing, an or
dinance was passed levying license
tax on each instrument in use equal to
the difference between the rates asked
for and the rates charged at present
This is the ordina nee the company Is
disobeying and under which Mr.. Chip

The company in the meantime have
offered a reduction of the old rate from
S42 per year to $50 per year, but the city
does not deem this TO be enough, al
though the telephone company insists
that il Is agreeable TO the renters Of
the phones.
Manager ChipchaSe said yesterday
that the company propose to fight this
case as long as there Is a court that
they can go to.
The city people say that the company
will find them wherever they go. and

the archbishop of Cologne and his suite
appeared in IA carriages. A chronicler
describes the carriage used by the en-
press of Matthias of Austria during his
entry into Vienna, d61D as covered

her sisters rode in gorgeous, golden
broidered carriage, the noble ladies of
her suite followed in black velvet, and
the rest of the women in neat leather
coaches"
The fashionable ladies Of England
at an earlier period had to resign all
comfort during carriage ride until in
1864 Dutchman, named Wilm Boomer,
introduced the first coach, for which
the queen appointed him 'royal car
riage builder" Several highborn ladies
received permission to use tho new
vehicles, which caused great astonish-
ment in the rural counties, wherever
one of these ladies happened to travel.

HISTORY OF CARRIAGES.
Evolution OF the Finest Of Latter
Day Vehicles.
The First Tull-Fledgcd Coach Was Used
In Republican Rome-Royal Turn
outs Which Played Quito
Conspicuous Parts.
ESPECIAL New York Letter

The carrige, vehicle familiar to tho
street gamin of to-day, has history
which reaches way back into the mazes
of antiquity. Its first form was very
primitive, and the products of the carr
riage builders of the various ancient
nations were in so far all alike that the
box always rested directly on the axles.
Wagons are first spoken of in the Bible
and many ancient traditions and docu-
ments speak about war chariots and
triumphal carriages used by the an
clients.
The first carriage used by private
persons was introduced in Rome about
$50 years after it's foundation. 1t was
called the "pileutum," and was granted
by the senate to the Roman ladies who
had sacrificed their jewels in the in
terest of the republic. The privilege
was rarely used, however, and up to the
time of Augustus, the Roman ladies
employed sort of Sedan chair exclu-
sively on their travels and excursions.
The wagon of the Romans was called
the "Carpentum," and consisted of an
arched box resting on two wheels and
drawn by one or two mules. The cars
pentum was often richly decorated. At
a later period the patrician Romans

used four-wheeled carriage called the
"Carrucae," and the Roman "swells"
tried to Guido each other in the ele-
gance of their turnouta
The knightly costumes Of the middle
ages and the wretched condition Of the
roads interfered seriously with the use
of garages at that period and the noble
ladies generally travelled on horseback
like their lords. Men and women fos-
tered the noble sport of horseback rid
ing; only monks and women using
donkeys as matter of greater comfort.
AS late us the beginning Of the sixteenth
century the aldermen in the cities went
to council meetings on horseback.
When covered coaches made their APP
pearance in Germany, at the beginning
of the sixteenth century, they were used
only by the noblest ladies, men disdain-
ing to ride in them.
The first carriage with suspended box
which is mentioned in medieval history
served Queen Isabella at her official en-,
trance in Paris in 14o5. Fifty years
later the ENJOYS of Ladislaus ", king Of
Hungary and Bohemia, presented the
French queen with q suspended and
eichly-decorated carriage, which caused
great admiration at the French court.
This carriage was not initiated, how
ever, for under the reign of Francis T..
only two such coaches existed in Paris,
one of which belonged to the queen,
the other to the kings mistress, Diana
of Poitiers. Special permission was
granted occasionally to ladies of the
highest rank to use similar vehicles, but
in 1863 the parliament of Paris request
ed the king to forbid the use of car
riages in the -, and this decree was
strictly enforced afterwards. Even
under Henry ". carriages were rare
objects, the king possessing only one,
for common use with the queen. Tho
carriage in which Henry was murdered
was sort of cart, resting on the axles,
with leather roof and leather curtains.
The decree Of the parliament of Paris
was not unique, as other countries also
prohibited the use of carriages, some
going so far as to make 1t q felony for
the lower nobility and other vassals to
use one.

horses originated with a Frenchman I'M
Paris, Nicholas Savage, in 1850, and
since his house bore the name "Hotel|
St. Fiacre" these coaches were general
ly called "fiacres." Savage soon found
imitators and improvers, and only q few
years later four-in-hands could be hired
for excursions to the country palaces
which the court occupied alternately.
They were called: "voitures pour lai
suit de la cour.''
The practical Dutchmen did not re-
gard the evolution of the carriage with
much favor, for in 1868 the use of carr
riages was prohibited in Amsterdam,
ito save the costly pavement" as the
edict said.
The carriage in which the wife Of
Charles of Anjou accompanied her hus-
band in his entry into Naples must have
been a real gem. An old historian says:
"She rode in a caretta upholstered with
blue velvet, embroidered with golden
fleur-de-lis, the like of which Neapoli-
tans had never seen before. This luxuryl
spread from Naples over all Italy" IT
cannot be ascertained whether the exc
tended use of carriages spread from
Italy or not, but no nation is as en-
thusiastic about carriages as the Ital1
ians and especially the Neapolitans, may
the vehicles be ever SO primitive. MOI
where can be seen more stylish car
riages than in Palermo. But it is said
that these elegant carriages which,
cause SO much admiration on the corsoI
are often owned by several parties, who
exercise the strictest system of econ
omy in their household to be able to in-
dulge in the luxury of an elegant turn
out. It is also remarkable that the,
occupants of these carriages, ladies and
children, always peak out from closed
windows and drawn curtains.
This fact reminds one of the Sweet,
waters the favorite place for carriage|
riding with the Turkish ladies Of Cons
stantinople. 1t is peculiar that the
eristocratic ladies of the harem use AM
OK cart of the most primitive construct
ton. The box rests directly on the
axels and the wheels are simple wooden
disks. Curtains protect the occupants
against inquisitiye glances and the slow
gait of the animals, as well as number
of black attendants who surround the
carriage, prevent any possibility of q
mishap.

Child Nearly Frozen While After Food to
Prevent Starvation.


NEW YORK, Fer. 1s. "A little, golden
haired, blue eyed girl was found by a po-
licsman IN a Front street doorway crying
from the cold and half frozen.
After getting warm in the Oak s,rett
station she ssid she was 6l2 years old, and
that her name was Emily Fleming, and
that she lived with her mother at ibO
Cherry street.
"It was so cold in the house this morn
ing," the child added, "and we didn't
have any 1re and nothing 10 eat, that 1
went down TO Fulton Market TO see II a
man down there wouldn't give me fish
for my mammals breakfast. i got the
fish; here II is, and the little one point
ed 10 bundle to which she clung. "But
i must go right bone, or mamma'li cry
more n she did when left. The rents
overdue. and she amt got the money to
pay 1t. She's got to get 1t today, or
we go out"
The sergeant decided to notify the
Gerry society. Then he child's story
was investigated. 1t was found that Mrs.
Emily Fleming, the mother, lived on
the top foor of the rfar tenement at i6O
Cherry street. Mrs. Fleming is 29 years
old, and was bosn in London. Thirteen
years ago she married Edmund Fleming,
a last fnd hoot-tree maker much against
the wishes OF her parents, Shortly after
her marriage Mr.. and Mrs. Fleming came
to this city. Fleming was heavy drinker
and did little to support his family.
Things went from bad to worse, until four
months ago Fleming deserted his family
during an illness of his wife.
Mrs. Fleming did what she colud 10 sup
port her little girl, The only survivor Of
l3 children, but when the winter came 1t
was hard work, and three days ago her
last penny went for bit of bread. Her
rent, IS a month, is a month overdue and
she iears she will be dispossessed. There
was not particle Of food in the house
yesterday morning and no FIRE.
The Gerry society took charge of the
little Emily temporarily Mrs. Fleming

DYING OF HYDROPHOBIA.
Young DEM Was Bitten by a Dog Seven
Weeks Ago.

six-year-old Albert DEM, Whose parents
live at 80 Maujer street, Williamsburgh,
while playing with some boys in the hall
way of his house seven weeks ago, was
bitten under the lower LETT eyelid and on
the back of his left hand by mongrel
dog. The dog had been in the neighbor-
hood for several days and acted so strange
ly at times that some people thought IT
was mad. Nobody, however, thought 1t OF
sufficient importance TO notify the police.
The dog strayed into the hall where the
boys were Playing, and Denz was trying
to chase il out when he was bitten. He
bled from the wounds, and his mother,
after dressing them, took the bov to the
dis, ensary of IT. GATHERINGS Hospital,
whsre the wounds were cauterized.
The wounds healed snd nothing more
was thought of tie matter by the boys
parents until last Saturday night, when
the boy went into convulsions. He recov
cred and aiterward began TO froth at the
mouth. lie was soothed and remained
quiet until Sunday morning, when be was
.eized with convulsions again. lie was
unable to swallow anything. Mrs. DEM
applied plasters to the hoy's chest and
back and succeeded in decreasing his fe-
yer. When he went into vulsions
again yesterday afternoon Mrs. Denz and
her husband took him to st. GATHERINGS
Hospital, where House Surgeon o'Brien
took charge Of the case. The boy became
20 violent that DIR. O'Brien administered
opiates and brought him to the Pasteur In
stitute in New York. The physicians at
the institute said that they did not un-
oertake to cure hydrophobia, but only TO
prevent it, and as the lad was evidently
far atavnced With the disease they re-
fused to receive him.
While he was there and sitting on his
fathers knee he was taken with spasn,
