BRUUK[YNIARS To
RUN IN NEW York;
Agreement Said to Have Been
Reached by Which They viii
Have Connection Between the
Old and New Bridges.

Although officials Of the Brooklyn
Rapid Transit Company deny the truth
q the statement, 1t Is generally believed
among those who watch he street rail-
way situation that the Brooklyn and
Manhattan companies held a conference
with the powers Of the newly elected
administration and agreed to ALLOW the
Brooklyn Rapid Transit O connection
hstween the Manhattan ends Of the
BROOKLYN and Williamsburg bridges.
By the terms of the agreement. 1t Is
said. the Brooklyn Rapid transit will
run its cars across tho new bridge,
across Delaney street to the Bowery
and down the Bowery and Park Row to
the old bridge. It is said that the Man
haitian lines sanctioned the agreement
on condition that the Brooklyn COM
panies change their car to conform to
those Of the Metropolitan.
How much further the harmony plan
between The lines of the two ~boroughs
Will 80 Is a matter of much speculation
among Wall street men M others In
terested In traction stocks. The old
rumor OF a consolidation of all lines was
revived. ~ the truth of his was off,
cially denied.
Although men who are known to be
prominent in the affairs OF the Brooklyn
Rapid Transit backed up the report of
rane conference, President Edwin w.
Winter denied 1t absolutely. He said:
II deny absolutely the report that the
Brooklyn Rapid transit Company has
any understanding by which 1t will be
permitted to construct lines through Do
lancey street and the Bowery from the
.Wiuaamsburg Bridge to the Brooklyn
Bridge. l also deny that 1t has any other
understanding with the incoming admin
astration."
'Wil hi Brooklyn Rapid Transit try
% construct lines between the two
hrddges?" was asked.
II don't care to talk about that"
naid Mr.. Winter.
]. n. calderwood, First vice-Presiden,
and General Manager of the Brooklyn
Rap1d Transit, also denied the report.
1T Is absolutely false" he said. THE
road has received no such assurance
from anybody"

MAN IN DE[IRIUM
STAMPEDEs HORSES
In an Underground Sta
BILE In West seth Street SO
Frightened that They Aroused
the Entire Neighborhood.

The hundreds of jewellers in the tene-
ments n~eighboring the sub-cellar stable
at No. 5H West F~yfty-sixth street were
rorised early to-day by the frantic
peighing OF horses and the pounding OF
hoofs.
A great crowd collected about the
place and an effort was made to break
in the barred doors of the underground
stable. The horses within seemed to be
In q panic and for a few minutes the
screams of a human voice could be
heard above their cries.
After all efforts to break down the
barred doors of. the stable had failed,
John Donnelly. the proprietor of the
place. was summoned and the doors
opened. There were twelve horses In
the place and four of them had broken
from their halters. Those that were
still bound had almost kicked down the
partitions to their stalls. They uuieted
down Immediately the doors were
opened.
MIR. Donneily then investigated the
of the disturbance. He found Il
when ne came to stall 10, the only
empty one In the stable. There lay the
body Of Henry Pitz, the watchman OF
the stable. He had ended his life by
cutting his throat and breast with q
pen-knife and, though he had been dead
for some time, his features were still
contorted in agony.
According to Mr.. Donnelly, the man
had been suffering from delirium trem-
ems in a mild form for several days.
The climax to the delirium must have
come during the night, when his raw
tngs hlled the horses with terror. The
smell of human blood, which always has
a strange influence on horses, augment
ed their terrors to frenzy.
