THE BROOKLYN BRIDGE
New York's Up-to-Date Merchants

The accompanying reproduction from
the New York Herald of a section of
New York City and the Brooklyn
Bridge, illustrates the advantage that
advertisers have taken of the enormous
traffic between these two great cities.
While there are other concerns than the
one shown represented, the great pre-
ponderance of these particular signs
evidently induced the Herald to give
to its readers a general idea of what
the patrons of the bridge are confront
ed with the year round.
The Brooklyn Bridge, than which,
perhaps excepting the London Bridge,
world over, connects the two cities
from Park Row. New York, to Sands
Street, Brooklyn. It is a grand Struc-
ture and the local authorities are max
ing it still more elaborate by the addi-
ton of imposing entrances in each city
Work on the bridge was begun jan
uary 2, 1870, and the public had the
pleasure of watching it's progress for
thirteen years. 1t was opened to the
public May "A, 1883. and from that date
to the present time has had an envia-
BILE record, narred only by recent buck
lingsan&brealxingo of certain bands, SHOW
ing that the weight upon the bridge has
been more than it was intended to sup
port These defects are said to be due
to failure to keep the bridge irons well
painted, allowing corrosion- The city
will spend a large amount of N oney to
strengthen and repair weak portions
Considering the service since rendered
and the fact that the bridge has be-
come public necessity, the cost, which
startled some people at the time of its
completion, is not excessive. Fifteen
millions of dollars cannot exactly be
called a bagat elle by the majority of
the residents of Greater New York, but
1t Is not such an enormous sum when
expended for such a benefit as the
bridge has proven to be.
The bridge, by the way, is quite a
money maker. If you walk over you
are not required to pay, but that's as
far as your privileges extend You are
not allowed to hang over the outer rails
sfve manner. and if you carry sus-
pfcious looking bundle which might
contain a diving outfit you are arrested
at once as an intending imitator of
Steve Brodie," the bridge jumper,
actor. saloon owner and real estate
dealer.
If you decide to forego the pleasures
of the promenade and ride in one of the
oompany's cars the privilege will cost
you three CENTS Better pay a nickel
and get two tickets If you are riding
for your steed- The company has not
yet started a bargain sale in horse
tickets, SO there win be no advantage
In buying two tickets for your charger.
A horse and vehicle are taxed five cents,
and If you are sitting behind a pair of
steppers the tariff will be dime Each
extra horse above two attached to
vehicle is charged for at the rate o.
three cents.
The bridge is just eighty-fve feet

Supreme Court Makes a Ruling on

The supreme court has laid down a new

denied liability when garnisheed, in or

supreme court has decided that hereafter
they must make a full reply. showing
what the depositor has deposit, and
whether 1t is deposited in his own name

Almost every lawyer has had trouble
in finding out the status of an individuals
bank account when they have run gar
nishment proceedings and it is probable
that the supreme court judges have been
bothered in the same way in the past.
The decision came up in a Wichita case
which. has benin litigation for a num-
Der of years. The Rock Island Lumber
company garnisheed an account in the
Fourth National bank of Wichita, car
ried in the name of a man named Joselyn,
who was formerly police commissions

the name of Joselyn as commissioned, and
1t was claimed that the money belonged
to the city, but the lumber company
claimed that a police commissioner had
no business with the city's funds.

ROAD HOUSE RAID.
Croft Place IN Stones Folly Visited
by Officers.

Harry Croft and his brother, Will
Croft, were arrested last night by Con-
stable Williams from Justice Disney s
court, in Oakland, on the charge of SELL
ing liquor at the place west of town
known as Croft's road house. The place
is one of the handsomest residence in
the city and was formerly known as
Stones Folly
No liquor was found on the place. It
may have been that Croft received a
tip and it may have been that the officer
didn't know liquor when he saw it and
it may also have been that there was
none there for it has been rumored that
since the agitation against the road
houses reached its height that Croft
put on the reverse lever and his place
quoted down. Both the Crofts gave
bond.
Assistant Attorney General Redden
was non-committal on the Croft case to-
day. He would not deny that the arrest
was made at his instigation and he
would not say that it was He stated,
however, that he was certain that Croft
would be severely prosecuted.

SHELDON'S CHURCH.
New Building Will Cost $12, 900
and Will Seat 1900 to l 800.

1t has practically been decided by the
Central church people to build their
main church building next spring, and
to try to keep the expense within $4,000
or $4,000.
T. H. Lescher, the architect who drew
the plans for the present chapel, is at
work on the preliminary plans for the
main auditorium. He will have his
drawings ready to submit to the build
ing committee of the church at the next
meeting of the committee, which has
not vet been called.
The proposed building will have a
seating capacity of from 800 to 1000,
which with the present building, will
The building will likely be without
spire, but with bell tower.
All the details for the building are yet
to be decided upon. A place may be
provided for pipe organ, but no organ
will be purchased for the present.
1t may be that the gallery will be
built along the whole south side of the
new portion. and if this is done, the
seating capacity can be increased ny

A 3. Whiting, who with z. B. Mer-
Ram and other well known members of
the church constitute the building COM
mittee, said this morning:
with a few EXCEPTIONS the people in
the church with whom I have talked
seem to be in favor of building the main
building, and not trying to make a tenn
porary addition I think that we can
build very suitable building for S12,-
