THE NEW LACKAWANNA FERRY


In Operation September 20.
The Lackawanna Railroad will open
it's new ferry terminal, at West 23d
street, on Wednesday, September 20.
The structure will be the most impos-
ing Of the railroad ferry buildings now
grouped on the North River at 23d
street, which is rapidly becoming the
great crosstown artery Of the roads
terminating on the Jersey side.
It was the original intention of the
Lackawanna to have the structure
ready for patronage early in August,
but the destructive fire which recently
swept its Hoboken piers made it inn
practicable to open the service until
the slips for the present Barclay and
Christopher street lines had first been
restored So rapid has been the COM
pany's recovery from the effects Of the
fire. however, that the 23d street ser
vice is being started much earlier than
was anticipated, and the new line will
be opened with a full fleet of modern
double-declked ferryboats and complete
facilities for passengers and teams.
On week days the boats will run eve
ry fifteen minutes between 6. a. M. and
10 .. M, and every half-hour between
10 b. M. and 6 a. M, while on Sundays
the fifteen-minute service will not be
gin until 5 a. M.
The structure is one of the finest or
the North River. 1t is built of steel
with an imposing front Of ornamental
copper, and is absolutely fireproot
throughout. The length Of the build
ing is 325 feet, providing three ferry
slips, with waiting rooms on the first
and second floors. There will be cen
trail clock tower, 135 feet high, visible
| from many portions of the river.
With the opening of this termina
the Lackawanna will also begin the
operation of electric cab and carriage
service at West 23d street. Cabs vii
be available at all times of the day o.
night for service in greater New York
The new service will materially add tx
the convenience offered by the Lacka
wanna for reaching the metropolitan
hotel and shopping districts, all O
which are easily reached from the 23C
street crosstown lines. The new line
will be in addition to those now beinl
operated between Hobolxen, and Bar
clay and Christopher streets, New
York. The present service between
23d street, New York, and l4th street
Hoboken, will also be continued a.
heretofore.

DIDN'T DESERT BABY.

syrian Woman. Afser Languishing in
Jail several Days, Allowed to Go.
G. F. Axtell appeared before Judge
Mills this morning and asked that the
commitment Of a Syrian women whom
Justice O'Grady, Of Wharton, sent to
jail for ninety days in default of S25
fine be set aside on the ground that
the commitment was irregular. He
also stated that the docket was i'm
proper that no trial had been held or
witnesses examined. Judge Mills called
the matter to the attention of Prose
cutoT Rathbun and after an investi-
CATION the woman was released She
had been in jail for several days. She
started from Dover to Wharton with
baby hardly month old and stopped
at the home of Mrs. Magee to buy
some milk for the baby. Mrs. Magee
refused payment for the milk. The
woman could not understand English
and left the baby in the Magee shouse
while She returned to Dover for her
valise. Mrs. Magee thought that the
baby had been deserted and told the
Justice who had the woman arrested
for deserting the baby and sent her to
jail. The baby was brought to Mem
orial Hospital. Mr.. Axtell denounced
the arrest as an outrage and the wom-
an was allowed to go to her child.

When the case was opened, MI. WILL
son claimed that no formal charge had
been made against the officer, although
the subpoenas stated that he was UNI
der charges. The chairman OF the
committee insisted that the fact that
the meeting was held in response to
the charge made in the aff1davit was
sufficient to proceed with the case.
Chief Holloway was sworn and testi-
fed that he had formally suspended
the accused officer pending the trial
Sophia Turdell was called to the
stand but Mr.. Wilson told her not to
be sworn until it was shown that for
NAL charges had been made. Judge
Cutler, as counsel for the defendant,
waived all technicalities and was ready
to proceed. The witness was again
called, but as Mr.. Wilson would not
let her take the stand chairman
Owens announced that il the witness
was not ready to testify in one minute
the case would be dismissed. MI. Will
son said mot in hundred minutes.
At the expiration Of the time limit
and nothing being done the case was
dismissed.
After the meeting had adjourned
there was a lively exchange Of views on
the part Of those present in which a
number of persons expressed their
opinion in emphatic if not compli-
mentary terms, during which the true
inwardness If the case was got at. Mr..
Wilson's idea seemed to be that In the
absence of formal charges if action had
been taken by the committee it would
not stand the test Of the courts. Mr..
Tomlinson said that he had procured
the atfldavits in answer to the Mayors
query as to who wrote the communi-
cation, and he was opposed to the hear
ing proceeding because he knew it was
simply to be an attempt to whitewash
the officer. He was desirous of having
some sort of a formal trial where he
cOulu present. WITNESSES. LIE COlnlllO'
tee claimed, justly as it would seem,
that they had acted on the informa-
tion before them to the fullest extent.
The complainants in the case were
furnished with blank subpoenas which
they were informed would be served as
desired without charge, SO that any
claim of unfairness or attempt to sup
press facts on the part of the commit
tee is unfounded
1t would seem to be up to Sergeant
Morrison to start defamation proceed
ings against the parties who presented
affidayits which they were unwilling
to substantiate.
