FIGHT NOW IN ALBANY.
Bronu People Determined to Ehm'-
nate Board of Aldermen.

Albany is TO be the battle-ground for the New
York and Port Chester Railroad advocates from
The Bronx and Westchester County, ana
neither the Board of Aldermen nor the New
York, Westchester and Boston Railway Will
receive any attention from them. A persistent
fight for the measure introduced by Senator
Carpenter and Assemblyman wainwright, placing
with the local boards of the several boroughs
the power to grant permits to railroads to use
streets in the line OF their routes. such as Is
desired by the Port Chester road, is to be waged
and there is high hope OF victory.
II public hearing is called the measure
the Capitol will be almost swamped with the
Bronx and West Chester people who will go to
Albany 20 advocate fits passage. The seven
aldermen IN The Bronx who. together with
President Haffen constitute the local board Of
that borough. are TO man for the bill, and Will
not hesitate TO use their influence in its behalf
OF these seven aldermen. two-Gass and Harm
schfager-were members of the old board. They
did not relish the storm of abuse which was
showered on the board last year and Will well
come any plan that viii take the matter from
the Board Of Aldermen and place It in the
power Of the Bronx aldermen. sitting local
board. TO grant the Port Chester application
This is also the sentiment of the five other
aldermen comprising the Bronx delegation
Messrs. Dougherty. Stumpf, Morris. Murphy and
Shiel. They appreciate keeny the desire OF
the Bronx public for the construction Of the
road, and the best and quickest way of bring
ing about that result is what they are after
The bill is not likely to encounter Democratic
opposition, and should have plain sailing when
the time arrives for action. It may be that the
Brooklyn aldermen. realizing the purport Of the
bill. will attempt to block its passage as it
thought the Brooklyn members of the Board Of
Aldermen did when any attempt to consider the
Port Chester application was made.
Alderman Gass, speaking for himself and his
colleagues in the local board, said in Saturday 3

the Port Chester road its permit it re-
ceived the necessary authority TO do AS

system. The Archdeaconry Of New York confines
It's work at present almost entirely to The Bronx

Referring to the resolutions economical So
luton of the problem, Mr.. Johnson asserts:
this church building should not be used TO its full
capacity, at least on Sundays and when IL is reco-
nized that the acceptance of this plan commits the
Church OF the city to burden beyond that OF

"BL4CK HAND" AGAIN.
italian Frightened by Demand for
$500 Signed Il. B. G.

In spite of the activity Of the Brooklyn police
in trying to them down. the members OF the
BLACK Hand" the italian secret society, are
still at their work of trying to extort money by
threats from well-to-do members of their race
Their latest mark is Giuseppe Giordana, the pro-
prietor of a grocery store at No. 753 Atlantic
ave-, Brooklyn.
On Saturday night the grocer received letter
written in Italian and signed "A. B. c." after
the manner of the BLACK Hand" The letter
informed Giordana that he must take 5000 that
night and place 1t in a designated place at
Sixth-st. and the river. This is in a part OF
Williamsburg where the Italian formerly lived
Giordana was thrown into a panic, because, as
he told the police OF the Bergen-st. station, he
did not have the money, and the letter intimated
that his life would be in peril unless the "BiacK
Hand" was appeased by the required money.
He has an idea that he might have been muir
dered and thrown into the river If he had gone
to the appointed place. He did not go. however
Acting Captain Costello, of the Bergen-st- sta
ton. sent detectives there, but they FOUND no.
body. They guarding Giordanas house.
The old man is frightened that the ponce
think he may take it into his head to get out OF
the way of his unknown enemies.

THINKS GIRL STOLEN.
Foul Play Suspected in Disappear
ance of Anna NeSckirk.
[RY rELEnRArH no re rH1nuNE. ]


Salem, n. j., Jan. 17.-All the circumstances
surrounding the sudden and mysterious dsap-
pearance of Anna Newkrk from the home of her
grandfather, at Hancock's Bridge, last Tuesday
night, seem to strengthen the theory now held
by many of the tOwnspeople that the girl has
been the victim of foul play. To-day many
friends and acquaintance visited the home OF
Waddington Rldgeway, the grandfather, with
whom Miss Newkirk had lived.
Search for Miss Newkrk has been kept up
with scarcely a break since the night she failed
to return after having left the house to go across
the street. She was to have been gone but
few minutes, and the fact that no trace OF her
has since been found, that she could scarcely
have left the village without having been seen
by some of her many acquaintance, and that
not the slightest clew to her movements from
that hour has been gained in all the searching,
serve only to support the fears of her friends
On the day Miss Newkirk disappeared she had
been busy about the house laying new carpet
and rearranging some of the pictures, and she
had not had time even to change her dress.
AS she left the house she merely threw shawl
across her shoulders and wore no head cover
ing at all.
At one time 1t was supposed that the girl
might have had some secret cause for taking
her life. but careful investigation fails to reveal
any evidence TO support that idea she was OF
a bright and sunny disposition, and IN all her
associations she never gave the slightest i'm
preston of unhappness. She had made her
home with her grandfather since she was a
child of six years. That more than thirteen
years ago, and it has been generally understood
that she would be the heir Of her grandfather.
who is one of the most highly respected resi-
dents of the county.
A letter received yesterday by Mr.. Ridgeway
served for a time to arouse the suspicion that
Miss Newkirk had gone to Newly York. but that
supposition was soon destroyed. The letter pur-
ported to have been written by the absent girl
from Port Richmond, Staten Island, and stated
that she was there awaiting funds with which
10 return home Investigation, however, showed
that the letter was a clumsy attempt to eXtort
money from Mr.. Ridgeway. The address given
that of a dive Staten Island. and the
handwriting not at all like that of the
missing girl.
1t is probable that tomorrow reward will
be offered for information leading to the loca-
ton of Miss Newkirk alive. or her body IL dead
