BY AN UNEXPECTED MOVE.
MAYOR F1sKE OF MOUNT VERNON TAKES AID
VANTAGE OF THE ILLNESS OF AN ALDER
MAN TO UPSET THE PLANS OF
THE MAJORITY.

Mayor Fiske Of Mount Vernon won victory over
the Union HIuckeberry) Railway Company last
night by vetong a franchise granted TO 1t on May
II by the Aldermen. giving II the privilege OF ex-
tending its routes over miles of streets In the
city
There was an attempt by the friends OF the
Union Railway 10 override the veto OF the Mayor
hut n failed and the Aldermen who made 1t went
home In disgust.
The franchise covered the Chester Hill district
and a route from North Fourth-ave.. through Lin
con-ave to the Harlem station, where connec-
ton was TO have been made with the companys
lines TO Yonkers, thereby giving 1t belt hne IN
GLIDING the two cities.
At the time this franchise was passed the Mayor
and some OF the Aldermen were strongly in favor
Of giving 1t to the New-York, Westchester and
Connecticut Traction Company. but were In the
minority and were voted down. Everything seemed
to be in favor Of the Union Railway, until it was
announced yesterday that Alderman Howe, one or
its strongest advocates. was seriously ILL., Mayor
Fiske on learning this, Immediately called the
Aldermen together, and. after making a mock at
tempt at transactng some public business. handed
his veto Of the Union franchise TO the clerk. know
ing that in the absence Of Alderman Howe there
were not the necessary tow thirds votes TO over
rule it.
Then the Aldermen favOring the Union road pre-
scented the resignation of Alderman Howe, whose
term would not otherwise have been out until
out of the Board II would then contain only nine
members, and their six votes would constitute the
necessary two-thirds with which to pass the iran
chise over the veto. ,
Their pian was frustrated by Alderman Hayward.
who objected to the resignation, thereby compelling
it to be held to June before it can be con-
sidered -.
Mayor Fske smiled as he heard Aldermen Grant
Dolard and Cline friends of the Union company
angrily denounce his action. Alderman Dollard
appealed from the decision, but the Mayor declined
10 entertain his motion and the meeting adjourned
Mayor Fiske SAYS he vetoed the franchise because
the railroad has not compiled with its agreements
In building on and equippng other routes II has In
