OUR people are full Of enterprise
and the spirit Of improvement is
everywhere. While this is true there
are many directions in which their
efforts might be improved. If there
was town improvement society Or
ganized the members to discuss i'm
provements and work in harmony a
great deal more could be accomplished.
In another column will be found
the ordinance adopted by the council
of South Morgantown that will be
submitted to the voters Of that bor-
ough on the 9th of February. The
general opinion is that it will be rat
fled by a very large majority. If SO
the improvements will begin as soon
as the weather will permit and be car
ried as far as the funds will reach.
Seneca will also begin similar inn
prOvements at the same time and the
owners of South Park will do consid-
cradle paving and sewering. The
work will add a great deal to the
value of the property wherever 1t IS
done and will pay handsomely in the
end.

The new trains which will go on
between this place and Morgantown
next Sunday will be of great import
ance to our merchants as the miners
from down the river plants will have
an opportunity Of coming up and do
ing their shopping and returning the
same evening, says the Times. Be-
fore the last change took effect the
evening trains were always crowded
with people, especially women who
had come up to buy their goods from
the town merchants.
The trains are OF great Importance
also to those who live down the river
who wish to make connections on the
main line at this place. With the
present schedule in effect connections
for the east only can be relied upon
as the noon trains gets in one min
ute before the train FOR the west is
due Most of the time the noon train
is late and its west bound passengers
are compelled to remain till 1880 in
the evening
Morgantown people especially desir-
ed thu new change and the credit is
due almost entirely to them.

GERMAN VOTERS UNITE.
FIVE REFORM ORGANIZATIONS JOIN
HANDS AGAINST TAMMANY.

What is expected to be a strong link In the
anti-Tammany chain forged last night at
the Union Square Hotel by the five leading Ger
man political reform organizations of Manhat-
tan and Brooklyn. At dinner at which these
organizations represented resolutions
were adopted to unite all five into one great
league. to be known as the German-American
Union. The purpose of this consolidation. as
set forth in the resolutions and emphatically
expressed by many of the speakers. is to COM
bat Tammany Hall at the polls next November
and obtain it's defeat. In the words of one of
the resolutions adopted the consolidation is 10
contribute toward the emancipation of our
city government from the rule of the spoils
system"
A committee of five men chosen to repre-
sent the union in the campaign. II is
composed of Herman Ridder chairman; Henry
Weissmann Charles Lutz, Otto Kempner and
DIR. Gustav Scholer.
The speeches at the dinner abounded with a
tempestuous enthusiasm, and prolonged cheers
greeted every mention of the overthrow of
Croker corruption and crime" Harmony of
sentiment prevailed in all that said. The
drift of opinion was that the mayoraIty candi-
date on the anti-Tammany ticket should be
thoroughly independent man, and one in whom
the people might put the utmost confidence. The
recent police scandal was frequently alluded TO
as only one example of the rOttenness of Tam
many's rule.
The organizations represented were:
The German-American Reform Union of New
York, represented by Charles Lutz, Fritz Cuert-
Ter, Edward b. Amend Joseph Winter, Fred
erick Griesel and Sigmund S. Schwab; the Ger
man-American Municipal League of New-YOrk,
represented by Paul GOepe DIR. L. K. BOehm,
G. l. Davis and Henry Meyer; the German
American County Organization of New York,
represented by DR. Gustav Schoer and Jacob
Fowler; the German-American Citizens League
of Brooklyn, represented by Otto Kempner, Cl-
HuRnnPWFinCkPI InSRnh TTaHmann FpiRT1-
bend, F. o. H. Bergman, w. Stiehler and G..
Schweppendick, and the German-American Mu-
nicipal League Of Brooklyn, whose representa-
ttveS were Henry WeiSSmann, Jacob Neu,
George L. Horn Carl A. Evertz, Bella Tokaji,
William Liebermann, Ernest F. Distler, Henry
G. Deck and NicOlaus /. FlOcken.
An invitation sent to the German
American League of Manhattan which is rep
resented by L. T. Thomas and Benno Loewy,
but they did not accept the invitation. and the
organization was not represented at the dinner
nor the conference which followed.

CARRIE NATION IN NEW-TORK
SHE GIVES DEvERY A BLAST, But ATTACKS
NOT SINGLE BARROOM

Mrs. Carrie Nation passed rapidly through
New-York yesterday. her way from
lecture platform TO another. and got her first
glimpse of it's wickedness. She deeply i'm
pressed by it, The array of barrooms which
she saw in her hurried transit from ferry
house TO a railway station stirred her the
smell of powder does horse, and there
came upon her a greater longing TO see chips
fly than she had felt since she left Kansas But
no chips flew. She spoke with scOrn of those
who merely talk and do not act. but for her
own part, she only talked. 1t is impossible to
say what might have happened if the time
tables had been differently arranged.
Mrs Nation used disrespectful language con-
cerning the Chief of Police of this great city.
If she were Chief of Police of New-York. she
said she would reform the force, if she had TO
discharge every man on it. She bore hard upon
the present incumbent of that position. That
she should charge him with inefIiciency and
other high crimes AMI misdemeanors to be
expected, but she would even grant his
originality. TelephOning to gamblers the ap-

the comparative propriety of licensing thieves
and murderers. and passed to let the people
up the State hear her voice and foTsake the

STRAP-HANGERS CAN SIT
MORE CARS TO BE RUN OVER BROOK-
LYN BRIDGE.
ACCOMMODATIONS IN THE NON
RUSH HOURS.

1t was demonstrated yesterday by The Trib-
une that adequate service can be provided for
those who want to cross the Brooklyn Bridge
by the shuttle trains in the non-rush hours
Complaints have been many and oft repeated
recently that the trains crossing the bridge IN
the non-rush hours were filled with men ana
women clinging to the straps the cars went
rocking around the sharp curves, because there
were not seats for all the passengers. though
the train yards could be full of idle cars
A Tribune reporter went to the general man
ager. ]. c. Breckenridge. of the Brooklyn RAPID
Transit Company, yesterday. and told him OF
the complaints that were being made, and MI
Breckenridge at once ordered that more cars De
put in service the bridge in the non-rusn
hours
The reporter went to Bridge Commissioner
Shea first and asked him why cars enough
could not be provided to carry the passengers
Commissioner Shea again showed that there
many things he has to learn about the
bridge Il haven't heard any complaints, he
said in reply to the question.
do you ever make an examination to see II
there are enough cars?" he was asked. rs there
any system of inspection to learn If the people
are provided for?"
NO" said Mr.. Shea; I'VE don't have any in
spection. If there are any complaints we look
into them"
DO you know how many cars are run across
the bridge now in the non-rush hours? How
does the service now compare with the service
Under the bridge trustees?'
THE Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company runs
more cars across the bridge in the non-rush
ht urs than the bridge trustees did,
That was where Mr.. Shea showed that he still
had things to learn about the bridge. MT
Breckenridge, in his position as general manager
of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company, has
control of the cars run across the bridge. When
the same question asked him, he SAID:
THE bridge trustees ran more cars than we do
They ran a four train every four minutes
We run a two car train every two and one-half
minutes"
Don't you think 1t would be better, Mr.
Breckenridge, to run more cars and let the
passengers sit down?"
do they have to stand UP now?"
Yes, sir"
Mr.. Breckenridge turned to one of his clerks
and said Get me Mr.. Gearheart, at the bridge"
Mr.. Gearheart is the acting superintendent
at the bridge for the Brooklyn Rapid Transit
Company. When communication estab
lished with Mr.. Gearheart Mr. Breckenridge
said: Hello, Gearheart! There is a Tribune
reporter who says the bridge cars are crowded
in the non-rush hours. Put on more cars"
There was reply from Mr. Gearheart, then
Mr.. Breckenridge spoke again: He says he
had to stand up himself to-day. If you see
anybody standing up. put on more cars
I'VE want to accommodate the public" said
Mr.. Breckenridge TO the reporter then. we
will put on as many cars as they want If they
will ride in them. We would rather have them
ride in the bridge trains than in the trolley
cars, but the people to insist taking
the trolley I'll that you don't have
any more trouble about standing up"
