ITEMS. FROM
NEW CASTLE.

New Castle May 1.-The show
has been elected from its headquar-
ters by the landlord. The show was
organized by Il number of our boys.
They had four guns, several drums,
uniforms for the street and perfOr-
nance and full Punch and Judy
outfit, composed the showman's
equipments. They had given two
performances in the house, near the
X. Of P. hall. The owner of tho
property came here yesterday and
compelled the boys to vacate the
quarters. Consequently the show
for the balance of the week will not
be given. The boys are disappoint-
ed and SO are their friends. The ex-
orbiant admission of one cent had
been charged.
Since the publication of the City
Treasurer's report Of the finances Of
the school there has been considera-
bic comment. The report for 1901
showed that Tax Collector White
had $239. 81 uncollected taxes and
the report for 1902 shows that no
cash was paid during the year and
$40. GO still remain umrollertel.
What became Of the $l9O25 isa
question now being discussed. For
1899 there stood 81, 256. A and $685.
Al has been paid III and there is

ASsEMBLYMAN WAINWRIGHT OFFERS A
RESOLUTION ON THE ACCIDENT

Albany. Jan. 10 CspecisD.--As told in The Tribune
yesterday legislation Is under way which will have
for its object the dnnuton of the chances OF such
an accident the railroad wreck OF Wednesday in
the Park-ave. tunnel. AS forerunner to some
more specific bill. Assembyman Wainwright of
Westchester County. whose district includes the
city OF New-Rochelle. where most of the victims
OF the accident lived attempted TO introduce reso
luton this morning. but the objection of As
semblyman Kelsey, of Livingston County. the
ground that privileged resolutions should not be
introduced on Fridays. when the greater part of
the Assembly Is absent. Mr.. Wainwright will in
troduce the resolution Monday night instead
The resolution is follows:
Whereas. BY the recent collision between trains
operated by steam of the New-York NewHsven

Mr.. Wainwright said to a Tribune correspondent
after the Assembly had adjourned
AS The Tribune said this morning I think that
the ultimate outcome OF the Investigation now be-
ing conducted by the State Railroad Commissioners
will be either the installation of electricity In the
place of steam in the tunnel, or the transference
of passengers from the steam railroads north OF
the Harlem River to the subway. Both of these
schemes, however, necessarily involve time, and
have no doubt something viii be done this

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: Yesterdays disaster In the Park-ave tun
mel emphasizes what has been plain for a score Of
years to those who travel through it-that +b,s
tunnel is totally inadequate for the combined trafc
of all the trains of the Harlem Hudson River and
NewHaven main lines
The number of trains entering the Grand Cen
tra Station daily. all from one direction Is roo
great for the safety OF the travelling public The
terminal facilities for handling this vast nurhar
of trains are not only unequal to present demands
but admit or no expansion for future require
ments of a constantly increasing traffic
For years the necessity has been urged OF rnov,ns
the terminal north of the Harlem. where ample
room for the shifting, handling and storing or
cars can be had 1t seems only question OF time

tions of so or multiples thereof. Authority can
be found for loan OF this kind in Section Il OF the
Revised Charter:
I have said nothing at any time for or against

account the repeated misapprehensions CON
cerning the matter which appear I'm the news

and no bidder any longer say he will take all

visions IL has been the law since 1852 that far

CITY PRINTING UNDER STRONG.
sLEICHER SAYS FREE
COMPETITION WAS ALLOWED.

Exception is taken by John A. Sleicher, the SUI
pervisor of 1.-THE City Record under Mayor Strong
to the statement made before the present Board OF
"City Record on Thursday last by william "A
Irwin counsel for 1.-The Mail and Express, In
which the latter said. reported in The tribune
on the following day that ths is the first time In
twenty-eight years bona ide competition has been
allowed The Brown company has heretofore had
a monopoly of the bidding" Mr.. Irwin was re-
ferring to the bids for the publishing OF The CITY
Record" Mr. SIeicher says that he wrote personal
letters to nearly all the leading printers OF the
CITY, inviting bids on 1.-The City Record" Specin-
cations and personal visits were made by him 10
Colonel C. G.. Crawford. of the WynkOop-HaIen-
beck-Crawford Company; J. j. Little and other
printers who in position, as ne thought 10
bid on the contract.
Copies of the specifications were also mailed TO
the leading printing houses in the city, and one OF
these falling into the hands of j. b. Lyon. of Al
bany. the latter put in bid which was lower than
that of the NJ. B. Brown Company. and the con-
tract would have been awarded to Lyon but for
the fact that he not prepared to promise 10
have the work done In the city of New-York. Mr..
Sleicher adds that if ne is not mistaken. public
notice of the proposed letting of the contract was
printed at the CityS expense in most OF the daily
refers for corroboratiOn of his statements to the
surviving members of the Old City Record Board
Judge Scott and General c. RI. t. Coils. MIR.
Sleicher thinks that Mr.. Irwin may not have been
cognizant of these facts but that fairness compels
unqualified denial
