SHUTS OFF THROUGH SERVICE.
hay Ridge and Fort Hamilton Trsins
Cannot Cross the bridge.

The Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company
announced yesterday, as a result Of the
order Of Bridge Commissioner Lindenthal
that all wheel hanges must conform to the
standard. ~ inches. or not pass over the
Bridge on the elevated tracks, that the
Bay Ridge and Fort Hamilton through ele-
waited service would be abandoned indef-
nitely 1t was said at the Office OF the
company that the cost OF laying T rails on
the surface along Third and Fifth avenues
from the present terminal Of the elevated
structure would aggregate 100000.
The company Is not prepared to spend
that enormous sum in addition TO the amount
already paid out for inclines, extra cars and
other expenses attached to the change"
said an official. I've will finish the In
clines and then stop. Eventually the ser
vice win be resumed. but We are not pre-
pared to say when.'
For several years the Citizens Associa-
ton Of Bay Ridge and Fort Hamilton and
The various boards Of trade have been ask
ing for through service from Park row

The railroad people finally consented to
build inclines at Thirty-eighth street and

the trains to the surface and out to Ninety
ninth street. where q loop would permit
train to return on either avenue to the
main line at Fifth avenue and Thirty
sixth street.
Bridge Commissioner Lindenthal's order
to change the fanges back To standard
depth makes IL necessary to lay T rails on
the surface, the present rails being fat and
shallow. On the Bath Beach line and the
Brighton Beach route the T rails are In use,
the roadbeds Of each being those OF steam
railroads.
A former officer OF the Citizens' Associa-
ton OF Bay Ridge and Fort Hamilton
said last night that at the meeting Of the
association on Wednesday next tbs matter
would be taken up.
II the company can't run the cars over
the Bridge, II can at least run them to the
terminal at Sands street. a. II does greater

Looked for . Minute Like an En-.
ssnsulned Conflict with McInnes.
Alderman Owens is one Of the silent
renbers Of the board, but at every meet
ins he has been good for one speech. namely
Move we Journ.
Until about month ago Mr.. Owens was
always permitted by his colleagues to move
The adjournment. but when he began to
display a desire to adjourn the meeting
hefore the business was half done some Of
those colleagues rebelled.
Il was arranged yesterday TO puttnp game
On Mr. Owens. Alderman McInnes was In
the chair, and he agreed with the con-
splrators not to recognize Owens when
owens rose to make his weekly PROPOSE
lion. The understanding reached was that
Mr.. Mclnnes should not accept a motion
for adjournment until II was ma de by
Alderman Stewart.
Along toward the close Of the meeting,
committee reports was in progress, Mr..
Owens was seized with one Of his attacks Of
ennui, and. rising to his full height Of ak
feet, shouted: Move we journ.'
Chairman MoInnes took no notice, and
the clerk continued to intone.
MIR. Chairman Mr. Chairman!" called
out Alderman Owens.
.The clerk will continue reading d.
rected the chairman.
Mr.. Chairman! 1 rise to a question OF
privilege" shouted Owens.
Mr.. aiclnnes, keeping his face ave rted
from Owens, directed the clerk to keep on,
but what the clerk was reading could not
be heard because Of the violent efforts of
the Alderman TO obtain recognition from
the chair.
Finally the reading came to an end and
Mr. Mclnnes, intent on carrying out the
conspiracy against Owens, looked over
VI the direction OF Alderman Stewart, ex-
motion. for adjournment. Mr.. Stewart
was asleep. So McInIes called on Alder
man Bowling to move the adjournment.
Then Owens strobe up TO the chair. shook
his fist at McInnes and exclaimed:

II there's any laughing stock in this
board you're it, shouted Owens
By this time Mr.. McInnes had descended
FRI m the chair and there were hopes OF
VIOLENCE, but some OF the Aldermen sue
away. Later Mr.. McInnes also told him
that the whole thing was a joke. but the
Alderman refused TO be pacifed and left
the vice-chairman with the remark:

PECULIAR TRAGEDY.


 Fort Smith, Ark, April 2s-This evening Bertie Daniels, 13-year old colored girl, was shot and instantly killed by her half sister, Maggie Bur ton, under rather peculiar circum- stances. Some dozen or more negro children gathered at the Daniels shack about two miles south of the city, and became engaged in row. The Bur- ton girl got pistol and discharged it In the air to frighten the crowd. The girl asked for the pistol, caught hold of it and at that moment one of the other children threw a rock, which struck the Burton girl on the wrist of the hand in which she held the pistol, causing it to discharge and send a ball through the breast of the Daniels girl, killing her instantly.

MEETS ALL OBLIGATIONS.
Bank of Little Rock Pay Dollar for Dollar to All Creditors.

Little Rock, April 2s.-Senator James P. Clarke, appointed receiver of the Bank of Little Rock by Chancel- Tor Hart, on January 24, upon the petition of the Little Rock Vehicle and Implement Company, filed his re- port this morning, which showed that arrangements had been made where by the bank will pay all deposits dol lar for dollar. The report was ap- proved by Chancellor Hart and the receivership was continued in order that the receiver might pay out the deposits which the courts ordered to begin at once.
 The Bank of Little Rock closed it's doors in January, on account of an overdraft of the Alphin-Lake Cotton Company of $159, 1853, the collater- als pledged as security consisting mostly of forged or worthless com press receipts and bills of lading. Re- ceiver Clarke realized what he could from the pledges, and the deficiency of $S6, ,699.70 was advanced by A. Stile well, president of the Bank of Little Rock. President StileWell's offer was accepted by Receiver Clarke and in his report he highly compliments him for his generous action.
 Senator Clarke will receive $1O, ,OOO for his services as receiver.
