CAR FUMES CAUSE DISEASE.
PHYSICIAN THINKS BATTERIES ON THIR-
TY-FOURTH- LINE INDUCE THROAT
AND LUNG AFFECTIONS

A recent increase in the number Of cases of
bronchitis and affections of the throat reported
by physicians living along Thirty-fourth-st or
in that neighborhood has led physician to
make careful investigation 1t was supposed
at first that this trouble arose from work on the
underground road. That 1t should affect per-
sons in the neighborhood of Thirty-fourth-st
and not in any other locality where such work
is under way is regarded singular. and the
physician in question declined to consider this
the cause.
After a careful investigation he came to the
conclusion that the trouble arose largely. II not
solely. from the crosstown used in Thirty
fourth-st. The statement is made that fumes
arising from the sulphuric acid used in the bat
tertes in these cars are very irritating to the
throat and lungs. So far as is known. no steps
have been taken to place this solution Of the
trouble before the proper authorities and TO
have action taken to abate the alleged menace

At the office of the Metropolitan Street Rail-
way Company yesterday official said:
We have never received any word that our
cars in Thirty-fourth-st. were responsible for
throat and lung trouble, and l don't believe they
The batteries carefully encased. and
every precaution is taken to prevent any bad
odor irritating fumes from escaping We

and this is the first time / have ever heard
such charge made l don't believe there is

TIGERS AFTER TELEPHONES
c. W. MORSE ORGANIZING A RIVAL TO
THE BELL MONOPOLY, WHICH WILL
HAVE SOME UNIQUE ADVANTAGES.

The announcement that Charles w Morse, ex-
president and director Of the Tammany Ice
Trust. had offered to buy the control OF the Tele-
phone. Telegraph and Gable Company OF Amer
lea. which by means of acquiring many valua-
BILE franchises in the streets this city threat
ems to undermine it's rival. the Bell Telephone
Company. gave rise to the impression yesterday
that Tammany Hall was planning another trust.
to be known the Telephone Trust Mr.
Morse's offer is to purchase the holdings of each
stockholder Of the company at 30 per cent of
the amount he has paid in The purchase is
conditional upon at least two-thirds Of the total
number Of shares being delivered TO the City

proposition has been favorably considered by
the company's directors. and notice of their
tion has been sent to the stockholders in a cir
cular. AS the amount paid in thus far Is about
S4,OOO,0OO. Mr.. Morses offer will involve the pay
ment of about S2.0O0.OOO.
Although Mr.. Morse says that he is assuming
the responsibility of the purchase as fndi-
vidual. 1t nevertheless learned that he Is
being backed by certain wealthy and influential
members of Tammany Hail. among whom. ac-
cordtng 10 one well authenticated report, is the
English squire and taxpayer. Richard Croker.

summer. and it is said that they decided that

nit good orthodox Tamrnany company TO lay
conduits wherever it wanted Thus it would be
able to compete with the Bell Telephone people
