CROKER TO THE RESCUE.
A little later in the day there was a great sur
.rise party IN the Assembly. There the Ans'er-
dam-ave. bill was In its original FORM as lnuo-
.duced by Assemblyman Falows. Mr.. falio"S
onoved that It be ordered to second reauins
when II was announced and, as usual, there was
no resistance TO the adoption OF this MOTION
Then Mr.. Fallows said: Mr.. Speaker ask
.,,ranimous consent that the bill now have us

leader Of the Democratic party In New o'K
Richard Croker said 10 ne in New-York las
Sunday night that he hoped no Democratic AS
'semhlyman from New-YOrk would bring th'
blood Of innocent children murdered by trolley
roads on his head by Directing TO the passage

Mr. Green seemed thunderstruck by what MI
Finn he'd said and hastily withdrew his obJec
tion The bill was then passed by a unanimou
Note.

No one can yet understand why the opponent

NOUS vote IN the Assembly. Senator Ford IS
puzzled as any one He cannot understand Sen
ator Grady forcing the amendment into the bi
and Finn. apparently acting under direct order
from Croker, Withdrawing all opposition to IT,
when the Assembly bill comes over to-mor
srow" said Senator Ford tonight, Il shall as
Srhat it be advanced at once To a second reading.
