r r. COMMISSIONS DIRECTIONS.

.'he Rapid Transit Commission made public yes
rerday a set of resolutions In which it severely
denounces the New-York and New Jersey Bridge
bill of Senator Raines. The chief ad-
vanced why the bill should not become law are:
Frst-The bill is not IN the interest Of New
York City.
Second-It disposes of the public property of the
cftv without the consent OF its local authorities.
Third-The company to which enormously val
franchise is to be given shows financial
responsibility and offers security.
Fourth-The franchise IS for illimitable period
of time which Is directly counter to the character
OF the franchises granted by the Rapid Transit
Board
oust the Rapid Transit Board from an important
part of it's duties, since Section repeals in sub
stance the Rapid Transit law.
Sixth-A West-st. elevated road might be built un-
der this bill without any bridge whatsoever
Seventh-The franchise practically permits the
building of elevated railroads all the streets
OF :he city.
Eigfth-The revenue to the city provided for by
the bill Is in large part iusOry.
Ninth-The bill is unconstitutional, being general
I'm wording but special in application.
Tenth-The bill rushed through without ade-
ouate opportunity of remonStrance hearing be-
fore the legislature
The commission is TO be represented at the hear
ing of the bill before the Governor next Tuesday.

ODELL HAS NOT DECIDED.
WANTS FURTHER INFORMATION BE
FORE PASSING on BRIDGE BILL

Albany April 81 (SpeciaD.-Reports from
New-York say that the Tammany Hall leaders
are declaring that Governor Odel has revealed
an intention 20 sign the NewYork and New
Jersey Bridge Company bill. The Governor
strangely enough while thus quoted having
made up his mind about the BILL has been seek
ing information in every direction about ii.
There is not a newspaper correspondent in AL
bsny who has stroled into the Attorney-G Gen
erals office in the last three days who might
not have observed Deputy Attorney-General
Conan hard at work anayzing the New-York
and New-Jersey Bridge bill and drawing up a
brief upon it for the Governors reading.
It is also known that the Governor is solicit
Ing information to the various negotiations
Of the New-York and New w-Jersey Bridge Com
pany with the city OF New-York and the routes
laid out for its "approaches' by the State Com
mission.
The Governor unquestionably is looking for
ward TO the hearing upon the bill on Tuesday
as an occasion when he will receive still further
Information about the measure from the leading
commercial associations Of New-York, and all
the evidence here tells of the fact that he will
after the hearing Tuesday, and that he has
not in advance of the arguments he will hear
then made a decision the bill.
The Governor has said frankly that up TO
Wednesday last, when the bill into his
hands. he knew nothing about II, and since that
period he has been actively at work examining
other legislative measures and listening to argu-
ments hearings on bills Meanwhile his
official assistants are collecting information
about the bill for him, and II should be pointed
out that for the purpose Of obtaining all the in
formation possible about the bill he postponed
the hearing the measure from Friday last TO

VALD0STA POLICE KEPT BUSY.
One Negro Got Bullet in Thigh.

Caufured.


slayer of Jesse Kirby Reported
Captured.
Valdosta, Ga, Dec. 24.-The police
force have had all that they could at
tend to for the past two or three days,
the crowds that have come here to do
their Christmas shopping being I'M
usually large. Besides the shoppers
there came a large number of the rough
element. and 1t was this class that
kept the police on the go. No serious
casualties are reported, though there
was a shooting scrape last night in
Corbett's saloon between two negroes,
one of them being a porter in the place.
Sam Ward did the shooting, and Sam
Smith was the object of his aim. A
negro bystander named VIII Johnson
was hit on the thigh, making an ugly
flesh wound.
A negro railroad hand terrorized
the southern part of the city by reck-
less shooting during the day and was
arrested. though the officers had to
threaten to kill him to make him sur
render. Two of the officers jumped in
a hack and followed him to the edge
of the city to arrest him, and when
they called on him to surrender he
pulled his pistol in a threatening man
ner. Both officers covered him and
dared him to move. Then one of them
took the pistol from his hand, while
the other held him at bay. He was
lodged in Jail
1t was reported here last night that
Henry Porter. who killed young Jesse
Kirby at Sparks Saturday night, had
been arrested at Lennox, and parties
who came down on the train last night
stated that such a report was heard
all along the line. An effort to confirm
the report this morning failed, but
there is hardly doubt that the negro
will be captured. 1t is known now
that he was badly wounded in the duel
Saturday night. for he was tracked for
some distance by the spots of blood on
the ground. 1t is believed, therefore,
that IL is only a question of time when
he will be apprehended and pulled.

MARINE INTELLIGENCE.
LOCAL AND GENERAL NEWS OF
SHIPS AND SHIPPING.

The Steamboat Two states Gives a
Continuous salute to the New City
of Savannah-Jugs Went by Steam
boats to Upriver Farmers-Freight
for the New savannah and New
York Line.
The steamboat Two States gave more
than a passing salute yesterday in
recognizing the steamship City of Sa-
vannah as that vessel entered the har-
Dor. The Two States gave two short
blasts of her whistle. and in giving the
third, the regulation salute being three
blasts, the whistle became uncontrol-
labde and kept going at break-neck
speed. Several ineffective jerks failed to
release the open valves. and the whistle
kept at it. This soon stirred the curl
osity of business men at their desks,
and those not already on the river
balconies came out to ascertain what
was up. BY this time an officer of the
Two States had climbed onto the pilot
house and was using various methods
of persuasion to quiet the whistle.
Other craft up the river were waiting
to get word in "een ways" but the
longer they waited the louder the
whistle blew and the nearer the City
of Savannah was getting to her dock.
The whistle must have realized that
its obstreperousnesS was attracting at
tention and silence was restored. Then
the blacksmith shops up the river had
their turn in saluting the big steam
ship.
Whisky rnoved freely on the Savan-
nah river yesterday. Jugs Tor upriver
farmers were on all outgoing boats.
Shipments of whisky are always large
by the steamboats, on Christmas, and
there was no exception this year. 1t
is customary for many of the mer-
chants to remember" their better Gus
toners with a present. and to many
q jug is about as acceptable as any
thing else. While many jugs went out
as gifts numerous orders were also
filed.
Mr.. c. w. Howard, agent for the
Northwest Steamship Company, states
that the steamers of that line will IN
the course of a few days be ready
to book freight room for general cargo.
When the company is ready for this
freight an announcement will be made.
1t is expected to get a considerable
share of the rosin movement to New
York. and as the agents of the North
west company also run several foreign
lines out of New York, they will be in
position to book foreign freight by
their own steamers.
