WRECK ERS ARETREMBLING
THOSE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIRD AVE
NUE. ROAD CONDITIONS FILLED
WITH APPREHENSION.

something akin to CONSERVATION took posses
sion of the wreckers OF the Third Avenue Rail-
road when they read the announcement that the
March Grand Jury not going to be content
with indicting police captain or two, but was
considering the Indictment Of the Police Com
missioners. themselves. and had actually expelled
the District Attorney from it's ROOM
No New-York Grand Jury, perhaps, had ever
shown such backbone before. and as the
wreckers knew this body about TO
investigate their work they felt they had good
reason to fear the result Still, hope was left
them that March might expire before this
Grand Jury could thoroughly investigate so in
trcate a subject, and that it might be turned
over to the April Grand Jury, which might
not take such a serious view of its powers
and its duties. Even this hope has been con-
siderably blighted. however by the prospect
which developed yesterday that the March
Grand Jury may be continued as a special Grand
Jury after April l, until 1T has probed the Third
Avenue case to the bottom This bad
enough; but further predcament confronts
them. Even if they should be indicted they
fondly hoped that District Attorney Gardiner
would have charge of the prosecution but now
1T appears that special Deputy Attorney Gen
eral may be appointed by the Governor to prose-
cute the Indictments and that Is serious in
deed.
The more the report OF Receiver Grant is
read and considered the more the conviction
grows upon the public that here, indeed.
splendid and even overripe field awaits the
scythe of a fearless Grand Jury. Millions of
dollars expended for overstocked branch roads,
other millions laid out improvements of
doubtful utility, doubtful quality and doubtful
price and millions of trust funds borrowed with
out proper security by sinking property are
some of the most striking indications which
point to crooked work on the part of some peo-
pie Ihese people ought not to be hard to find.

and prospects are bright that of them

CHAPMAN MAY SUCCEED THOMAS.

Rumors were current yesterday that Captain
Chapman might be transferred to the Tenderloin
next week and Captain Thomas be sent TO some
less troublesome precinct. Chapman has earned
a reputation as energetic suppressor OF illegal
resorts and there is fear at headquarters that
the Tenderloin may break away from police con-
troll during present enforced period of decency
and open upon the sly. These slaves OF the
notice are always on the verge OF rebellion, so
heavy is the levied on them when they are
prospering and now that all or nearly all their In
come is temporarily cut off there is danger of
open revolt. Chapman may be called in TO hold
them IN check until this storm Of public indigna-
ton is considered to have blown over and they
can be allowed 10 reopen.
