to make tho bridge perfect before e. was opened

all his power as autocrat of the city to force the
completion OF the bridge. He had his way. The
bridge was completed with the disgracoiul ter.
minals.
The bridge was opened on May "a, 1888. Since
that date tho bridge trustees have expended
more than 49, 0o, 900 for real estate now used
for terminal purposes. This expenditure has
been absolutely necessary. The conservative

Trustees of tho bridge contemplated the pur-
chase OF all this property and terminal facilities

been purchased then, and terminal facilities
more nearly approaching the present facilities
would have been erected.
The property that has cost $4,000 900 since
1888 could have been purchased then for
1000, 900. Thus, in one item, Seth Low has
cost the city OF Brooklyn and tho city of New

confessed to stealing the goods. A cor
net, two sets of pool balls and three
diamond rings were recovered from
Philadelphia and New York pawnshops
One ring, worth $50, however, was
missing. Rothkugle finally admitted
that when arrested he had slipped the
missing ring into his mouth and re.
tanned it there until near the city hall,
when he spat it out upon the ground.
He described the spot where this had
occurred and in few moments Police
man Beard found the ring, where it had

WHEELS PARAMOUNT.
The Bicycle Causes a Christian Endeavor
Society to Disband.

The Bicycle Causes a Christian Endeavor
Society to Disband.
Bicycle riding is said to have lately
caused the disbandment of Christian
Endeavor society in Passaic, N. J. A
large number of the members, including
several of the officers, have recently
learned to ride wheels, and since then,
it is alleged, have neglected their duties
to the society to such an extent that no
one is left to manage its affairs. The
society in question is that of the Dutch
Reformed church, the Oldest church III
northern New Jersey.
A meeting of the society was held the
other night, and only few members
attended. 1t was the annual election of
officers, but no one would allow his
name to be put up. Lets disband the
society until winter, suggested one OF
the members who recently purchased a
wheel. The suggestion was made mo-
tion and carried by large majority.
Its too bad," said former presi-
dent, "but so many of our members
have become so infatuated with their
wheels that they had not time to take
any interest in the society, and we have
to give it up.
