PAY FOR CENTRAL'S FRANCHISE.
Lawyer objects 10 the Board OF Estimates
Action.

The Aldermen not long ago passed n
resolution allowing the New York Central
Railroad to lay tracks along Twelfth avenue
from Twenty to Thirty-siXth street
When he franchise came before the Board
of Estimate to fix the compensation, they
limited it to twenty five years, with pay
ment on a sliding scale, starting at $500
a year for the first five years and ending AT
81 200 for the last five years.
Robert Luce, lawyer for the company
appeared before the board yesterday to
prot est. He said that the board had no
power TO impose any conditions except
10 fix compensation and that he railroad
had increased land values in that part Of
the city so much that the city ought to
excuse ii from paying taxes or local
assessments for twenty-five years.
The matter went over to let the company
make an alternative offer.

Receiver SlSO,OOO.


John NJ. Bowers, the lawyer who has been
receiver for the Lion Brewery since Decem-
Der. 1901, applied to Supreme Court Justice

in 1880 She assumed the management
OF his interests, but she and Bernheimer
could not agree, so a receiver was asked for
pending dissolution of partnership

In a most satisfactory way, making profit
Of $500 900 for the brewery during the year
ending last December. OF this sum $500 900
was turned over to the litigating parties.

ship last September and referee was ap-
pointed to pass upon his accounts. Since
then, however, Mrs Schmid and Bern
heimer have come together, with the result
that Bernheimer has agreed to turn over
all his interest in the firm to his partners
widow. Mr. Bowers will receive all told
about $3.50 900 for his trouble as receiver.
Justice BischoH reserved decision on the
motion, but ii will undoubtedly be granted.

POOR CIGARS SOLD BY DEAL.
 FRS AS A NOTED BRAND.
U. S. Internal Revenue Agents Make One Arrest and Expect More-Re- taller Is Accused of Selling lmita- ton Cremos.

From N. Y. American.
 The arrest of Henry Sllberstone, a cigar dealer at No. 23S Bowery, charged with having reflled cigar boxes, marked the beginning of a war that will be waged by the United States Internal Revenue agents against dealers all over the city who have been engaged in similar prac- tiees. For some months past large cigar concern has been greatly annoyed by complaints that inferior cigars were be- ing sold under its label, and notified the revenue agents.
 Silberstone is alleged to have bought several boxes of "Cremo" cigars, and after selling the genuine article at the regular price five cents), reflled the boxes with a cheaper article, which he sold at eight for 25 cents, explaining to his customers that the only difference In the cigars was in the matter of the bands.
 The cheap cigar was sold without a label, while the real "Cremos" have bands about them. Tn this manner Silberstone Is alleged to have made a profit of con- slderably more than 100 per cent. He was arraigned before Comissioner Shields and held for examination before the Federal Grand Jury.
 A cigar manufacturer interested in the case, said
 Substitution of cigars or refii1lng of boxes has been going on for some time We have spent thousands of dollars ad- vertislng one particular brand of cigars, and 1t Is the name of this cigar that has been Illegally used.
 ''The bands were placed upon our goods to protect our customers against just such a fraud. The Federal authorities expect a number more of arrests shortly. There are Federal and State penalties" *t@

Upsets of Boats Must Stop.

From the Philadelphia Bulletin.
 No more upsetting of boats in the Sehuylkill river is to be permitted. Oars men who have made a practice of doing this in order to get a bath are to be pun ished. When man falls in accidentally he will probably have a hard time prov ing to the park guards that he did not go overheard purposely.
 The principal objection to the falling over habit Is that the guards are unable to say when an oarsmen is in real dam ger. Again and again, thinking such a one drowning, they have jumped into the river and gone to the rescue only to be met with a derisive laugh As the guards are dressed in heavy clothes they do not relish the useless drenching.
 But the real danger lies in the fact that the difficulty in discerning wheth- CT the spills are accidental or not may sometimes result in succor being refus- ed to drowning person, Then, of course, there Is the danger to the swim mers, as the last three persons drown ed in the river were all good swimmers.
 The first offences of this kind were dis posed of yesterday at the Sedgeley Guard House, when four young men were ar raigned

cothrsr & Co.'S Cotton Letter.

By Gilbert & Clay.
 New Orleans, August 15.-The statisti- cal situation continues to hold near posi- tWs steady, while predicted showers Generally throughout Louisiana, Arkan- sas and Texas tonight and Sunday, with heavy rains reported officially in Georgia and North and South Carolina, with the promise of further unsettled weather. served to hold the future positions steady at shade under yesterdays close in the face of glowing reports received from the Chronicles correspondents. The crop outlook is certainly most fattering, but sellers are timid about entering the mar ket extensively, realizing that something more certain than prospects Is needed. and even with a large crop assured early shipments are expected to find ready demand, owing to the extremely low sup plies both raw and manufactured In spin ners' hands. It was reported today that Texas is offering cotton for delivery. In dry goods the export trade continues light the little encouragement which came from Red Sea buyers last week failing to crystaze into larger transactions, and has been lost sight of entirely. The price which sellers are asking for export drills and sheetngs is based on 1o1sc cotton, and mills are not likely to purchase the raw material until they have secured or ders for sufficient goods on this basis. The general tone of the market is cer- tainly better.

LOCAL MARKETS.

The first bale of cotton has not yet ap- peared in Birmingham and the local mar ket continues quiet Rain has delayed the crop to a certain extent.
 There is nothing new in local securities. The market is quiet with prices holding steady.
 Staple groceries closed firm yesterday. The market is subject to few changes these days.
 Morris avenue was well supplied with cantaloupes yesterday. In fact there were more melons than dealers knew what to do with. and in addtion many were spoil ing on account of rain and hot wheathor Cantaloupes constitute cheap food at all the restaurants. Wholesale men do not seem to find a ready sale. As a result of the heavy stock prices have gone down to 5Oc and Sl per crate
 Pineapples are plentiful at $S to $3.25 per crate decided rise from S2.25lS3. Apples are not very plentiful just now. They are bringing $l.25 to s2 per barrel for the fancy varieties.
 Peanuts are selling at 4iSd5isc per pound for No and No. ?, respectively.
 Poultry continues active, but Is unchang- ed in prices. Eggs are at the highwater mark for 20c per dozen. A that price they are greatly in demand and dealers have not great quantity on hand.
 Irish potatoes are 80 to S5c per bushel Sweet potatoes are selling at S2.5O per barrel Cabbage is 1hc per pound for Virginia grown.
