This is an action In damages against the rail-

POWER HOUSE

An officer of the New-York and Port Chester
Railroad Company said yesterday that the COM
pany expected the State Railroad Commission to
hand down a decision on its application for a
franchise within a week, and If it was favorable
they would begin the construction of the line
and the securing Of the right of way immedi-
atelv. The road. it was said. would cost about
$4,000 600. and would be equipped and in opera
ton within three years after the franchlse was
granted. John B. Mcdonald would build it.
II was also said that the men back of the Port
Chester Railroad Company were members OF the
directorate of the Rapid Transit Subway Com
panv. The new road would be an extension Of
the subway lines, and the power house for the
subway will also furnish power for the Port
Chester road. Through trains, 1t was sald were

At Bronx Park the trains would be switched 10

II is said good authority that the company
owns the horsecar line from Barlow. in Inc
Bronx to City Island running through Pelham

a feeder TO the road.
An engineer of the new company told a IT'D
une reporter yesterday that after the company
secured its franchise il might be a year before
any field work done. In this time big
staff Of engineers would be ut work preparing

examination of the child said that he noticed
broken mashed nose. a cut lip and blackened
