diminution in the stream coming from the out
side that lest the intermcnt be delayed until
after dark tho side doors OF tho church were
closed and the body removed to the funeral car.

DID NOT APPLY TO BROOKLYN.
The Court or Appeals on the Kingston Rail
road Decision.

ALBANY. Dec. 14.-The Court Of Appeals to-
day denied the motion for reargument In the
Kingston Railroad case. The decision in this
case was handed down several weeks ago. and
while the case itself applies only to the city Of
Kingston, where one street surface railroad
sought to use tho tracks Of another on q street
where 1t was necessary for both to operate to
have continuous lines. the decision was general
in character and is held to apply to all other
lines in the State. 1t has been held that
tho opinion struck a severe blow to exist
ing street surface roads in New York and
Brooklyn in that 1t hold that one street
railroad could not use a portion of the tracks of
another road without tho consent of the local
authorities and adjacent property owners. In
Brooklyn especially, the street surface roads
have been bargaining with one another to use
tracks without regard to the consents of the To-
cal authorities and property owners. Tho
Brooklyn roads sought n reargument in order
that the court in its subsequent decision might
settled definitely many points made in its orig
inal opinion, upon which the railroad attorneys
place different constructions.
gument in its opinion. It practically holds that
the New York and Brooklyn surface roads need
not fear any disastrous consequences from tho
decision and opinion In this individual case. Tho
Court says that 1t WAS not its intention to decide
any case but the one before 1t, and that the opin-
ion should be read In the light of that purpose.

JERSEY oIrY BRIBERY CHANGES.
An investigation May Load 70 the Diubarring
of Noonnn and simpso..

Justice Lippincott, at the opening Of the Hud.
son county courts in Jersey City yesterday,
called the attention Of the Grand Jury to tho
allegation made by a Jersey City newspaper
against Assistant Prosecutor Joseph NJ. Noonan
and Lawyer Alexander Simpson. A response.
BILE newspaper, he said, had charged a high off,
cial, the Assistant Prosecutor Of the Pleas. with
having received n bride. If the charges were
baseless, then the libel was an offence Of far
greater enormity than the offence with which
the public official was charged.
The Hudson County Bar Association met in
the afternoon and passed q resolution to inyes-
tigate the allegation. A special committee,
consisting of Washington B. Williams, James
II. Vredenburg, Rynier J. Wortendyke. Charles
W. Parker. and Charles c.. Black, was appoint
ed to conduct the investigation. II this prelimi.
nary investigation proves the charges to be we'll
founded. the committee will apply to a Justice
Of the Supreme Court for a rule to show cause
why the accused lawyers should not be dis.
barred. Then testimony will be taken and laid
before the Supreme Court, with an application
to order tho names OF the accused men to be
stricken from the roll Of counsellors.

Father Colemnn's Parishioners Objected to
Theatrical Posters in Front or Their Church.
BRIDGEPORT, Conn.,, Dec. ID. The big bill
board, 100 feet long and IL feet high, which has
stood directly in front Of the st. Thomas Ro-
man Catholic Church in Fairfield, has made
trouble between the Rev. Father Coleman. the
pastor of the church, and J. d.. Toomey.a former
resident Of Fairfield and one Of the best-known
Catholic residents Of this city. The bill board
was erected recently and from the start has
been covered with gay show bills. advertising
the theatres in this city; The bill posters
seemed to take special delight in placing tho
gayest pictures they had on that board.
Father Coleman made a strong objection to
pla cling the billboard SO near the church. His
parishioners sided with him. On Monday morn.
ing it was discovered that an attempt had been
made during the previous night to destroy the
board by setting fire to 1t. Kerosene oil had

another attempt was made to remove the OBJ
noxious bill board. This time 1t was success
full. This morning there was not q bit of tho

LIVELY PRINCETON SENIORS.
Election Enthusiasm Leads TO the BreakinE or
Many window Panes.

PRINCETON. N. j.. Dec. IA. Reports which
have been sent out from Princeton concerning
the actions of the Princeton seniors in the Bon
ner gymnasium OF their class elections were
exaggerated. The facts in the case are as fol-
lows: The senior class held its annual election
in the gymnasium last Thursday night. Tho
elections were very close. especially that for
President. and the victorious faction was very
enthusiastic. AS a result several window panes
were broken.
From time to time after the elections that fol.
there was not q whole pane OF glass In tho build
ing. Excepting this window breaking. and tho
loss of n few chest weights and dumbbells.
there was no damage whatever done to tho
gymnasium. The faculty. beyond condemning
the class for thoughtlessness, have taken no ac-
ton In the matter.
The mcmbers of the class exceedingly regret
the occurrence. and they have volunteered to
pay the full cost of repairs.

600 passengers. Tho loop TO the Public Garden

open through tho subway during that month.
Inc SUBWAY travel then was 80 per cent. of
our wnoie travel; In November. with the Tre-
whole.
Now 1t lie a curious fact that although our
total number OF passengers was increased In
Vctooer oy 23S,O00 over the September figures,
the number carried In the subway was increased
oy only 1000. That great general increase was
nin,ost entirely made up OF the sort of fancy

jump on a car and rido downtown, ostensibly
TO buy q spool of thread or n skein of silk or
yarn. but really because tho car is handy and
the ride pleasant. These people won't go into

they won walk down tho stairs.
