NO BITTER FEELING.
No bitter feeling has been displayed on

This afternoon at 2 o'clock mass meet

much enthusiasm was manifested. Sew
erai prominent union men made addresses
and the applause that greeted remarks
concerning the present difficulty was
vociferous.
A similar meeting was held at the head
quarters on Gladstone avenue and equal
enthusiasm prevailed.
Last evening the regular meeting of the
local branch of the International Asso-
ciation of Mechanics was held In the
Labor Temple and after the usual rou-
tine business had been disposed OF George
V. Moore. the head Of the strikers. made
one OF his characteristic speeches and
aroused the 300 members to a high pitch
Of enthusiasm.
He spoke Of the progress made and Of
the present good condition OF the strikers
and added that he was very much encour-
aged by the outlook. To add TO the ia
vorable asToct 81 new men were admitted
10 the union while the appliest tons OF
20 more were received and placed on
file.

NOT RELIEVED
Proofs Of Losses by Fire Must
still Be Filed.

An agreement to suSmit to appraisal
the damages caused by fre does not re-
lieve the insured from fling proof of loss
under the provisions OF The policy Of in
surance. Such is the opinion of the ap-
pellate division OF the supreme court in
the case of John NJ Fournier vs.. German
American insurance company handed
down today.
Alphonse Deslauriers had a policy OF
insurance i'm the defendant company for
$3.50 for one year from June tth. 1897. to
June 4th, 1895. Deslsuriers assigned this
policy to Mr.. Fournier and the assignment
was sssented To by the agent Of the de-
PENDANT company on March 18th, 1898.
On May l6 1895, fire occurred on the
premises. and that no proofs of loss by
such fire were ever fled.
1t was agreed between tn. plaintiff and
defendant on June 20 1898, to submit to
an appraisal OF the damage caused by tho
fire; the appraisal &c be made In full
compliance with and according to the
printed conditions OF the policy. and, on
the following day the appraisers reported
what they had found the damage TO be-
The plaintiff claimed that this submits
sion To appraisal waived The proof OF loss.
aud that he was entitled to recover under
the policy.
The defendant. on the contrary. claims
that the submission TO appraisal Ia no
way waived the ding OF proofs OF loss.
and that the plaiutin was not entitled 20
recover. by reason of his failure 10 com
ply with the terms and conditions OF the
policy.
Judge Rlodgett who writes the opinion
OF the court says the filing Of proofs of
loss and the agreement TO submit Go an
appraisal are two separate and distiSes
provisions Of the policy and cover two
separate and distinct fields of inquiry and
that a cannot be said that any reason
able person would be misled into think
ing that hy complying with ono Of these
provisions he was excused from COM
plyinE with the other.

TO be below that distance from the sur
face CT the water a low tide
There would have 10 be at least four
feet of the bottom OF the river over the
crown OF the tunnel. and this would make
Is feet Then there would have 20 be at
least IA feet head room in the tunnel. and
this would make the bottom of the tunnel
come at least 40 feet below low tide.
Now, how are YOU going 10 reach this
depth under the river at an easy grsde7
That is really the whole question and
don't lose sight OF the fact. As ! figure
it you would have TO run out 1000 feet on
each side OF the tunnel In order 20 get
the proper grade and this cannot be done
You cannot run this 1000 feet from
either Brook street way down OF the
East side. or from a point beyond Eddy
street on the West side. because Il is up
and down hill. and there is no room to
swing around.
AN ENORMOUS EXPENSE.
"Thus you will readily see that the plan.
If plan there is. cannot be carried out.
or couse. | mean IL cannot be carried out.
In view OF the immense land damages and
expense that would be entailed by taking
land for the necessary approaches, for
that a tunnel could be easily built under
the river nobody denies.
IT believe that there are thoss who have
suggested the plan will agree with me.
after they have carefully considered all
the circumstances. The tunnel itself, is
nothing difficult in the way OF construc-
ton and the expense would not be very
heavy. but what's the use OF tunnel II
you uicAn't get into and out OF IL.
The only tunnel that. could he built
would be foot tunnel 10 which access
could be gained on each side OF the river
by steps. but | do not think that enybody
would care for any such arrangement"

Those who have suggested the building
OF a tunnel. say that they did 40 because
particularly In the summer months, when
there is a great deal or traffic on the
river, the draw OF the bridge iE open 90
much that very inconvenient delays are
caused TO both vehicles and pedestrians
who desire TO cross.
In the morning. at noon time and In
the evening, when people are going 10
and from their work, many times they
are delayed because steamer. tugs.
schooners or bargss are passing through
the bridge, and all of this would be avoid
ed by having properly lighted tunnel
under the river.
While there Is no doubt that a tunnel
would accomplish all this, there are diff
hculties In the way OF such an undertake
ing, that one net used to take into con-
sideration the engineering features of the
case would not readily forses.
The main difficulty would be In the
matter of making the proper approaches
to such a tunnel on both sides OF the
river. in order 10 have fitting grade
10 reach the great depth that would be
absolutely necessary, and this difficulty
Is great enough TO put an end TO the
project, If it was ever seriously consid-
cred.
