LAST GRAND STREET HORsECAR.
ILne shuts Down This MorninE-To Reopen
With Electricity.

1ltlo shuts Down This MOrnnS-Io neOpen
With Electricity.
The Grand street horsecar line shuts
down temporarily at S O'Clock this morning.
When the line opens up again In three
months electricity will be the motive po wer.
The new system has been installed along
the road from the Desbrosses street ferry
to Broadway, and the contractors say the
new line will be ready for operation about
Nov. /.
The Grand street car line has been run
ming since 1888, when it was established
by the Whites, father and son, as the Dry
Dock East Broadway and Battery Rail
road Company, with offices near the foot OF
Grand street. Fred White, Sr, was tho
president. while the son was the general
superintendent.
10 Mr.. White, Sr., is due the credit for tho
emergency corps with which nearly every
street railroad in the country is now
equipped It is the duty Of this corps
when the line Is blocked on account Of
fire OF wagon breaking down on the tracks
to go to the scene and reopen traffic. In
1885 Mr.. White, through friends at Fire
Headquarters, had a fire alarm bell put in
tho companys office so that when a fire
occurred along the road the emergency
corps could get there quickly. The Dry
Dock line is now controlled ny the Inter
borough company.

INDICTMENTS NOT LIKELY.
Attempt to Prosecute Men Concerned n
Cotton Leaks DiscoursginS

WASHINGTON, Aug. wv hen the Grand
Jury investigating the cotton leaks ad-
iourned to-day Witnesses Haas and Peck
ham were paroled in the custody OF their
counsel, Mark Alter OF New York. The
belief prevails here that the session Of the
Federal body on Thursday will be brief
and that the Grand Jury will then take .
recess for several diys.
The Grand Jury met at II O'Clock and
Broker Haas was Immediately called. The
ruling of Judge Wright last week made 1t
so plain that Haas was not compelled to
answer any questions which would tend to
incriminate him that no one expected that
the witnesses would prove tractable Con-
seouently 1t was no rfrise when Haas.
after answering in the affirmative the ques-
tions as to whether he had ever lived In
Washington and had been employed In the
Agricultural Department, as directed by the
Court, refused answers to the interrogations
tending to show his acquaintance with
Peckham and Holmes.
District Attorney Beach continued hia
examination Of the witness, however, put
ting q long list of questions to him, and
invariably receiving the same reply: Il
refuse to answer on the ground that II

anything about the attitude Of his client
before the Grand Jury. He expressed the
opinion, however, that he did not believo
Haas or Peckham would again be hailed
into court to show cause why they should

panied by Haas and Peckham. loft for New
York this afternoon.
In the absence Of Hyde and Holmes and
the inability OF District Attorney Morgan
H. Beach to secure from witnesses evidence
upon which indictments may rest, the In
dioetions are that the Government Vii be
unable to prosecute Holmes or any one
else involved m the cotton lesks- But the
District Attorney y working indefsdgably
to attain his end, and b has not lost hope
by any means.
After the Grand Jury had been dismissed
to-day District Attorney Beach had long
conference In his private Office with Mrs.
Bertha Burch, former private secretary
and personal friend Of former Statistician
John Hyde Of the Agriculture Depart
ment. II has been be lieved all along that Il
the District Attorney could induce Mrs.
Burch to testify before the Grand Jury
an important forward step In the cotton
scandal inquiry would be taken.
Mr.. Beach this afternoon refused to dk-
cuss anything connected with the confer

LOCK OUT loo TELEGRAPHERS.
Great Northern and Northern Pacific
Anticipate Strike.

ST. PAUL MINI. Aug. I.--Deolaring their
belief that the telegraphers on their lines,
with whom they have been dickering for
several weeks, do not intend to effect an
amicable agreement, but are procrastinat-
Ing 20 a. to call strike when the fall busi-
ness Il most affected, the Great Northern
and Northern Pacific railways to-day
ordered lockout against all operators who
refused to accept tho settlement offered.
The terms OF this settlement, the roads
say, are very liberal, but President h. P.
Perharn Of the Order Of Railway Teieg-
raphers declares that they ignore the point
which means most to the mFn. that Of In
creased wages.
An increase Of at least IS q month on all
dvlsons ia demanded. The lockout affects
about l,7OO men. President Perham this
evening had received kilograms indicating
that all but one man Oh the lines In Minnesota
outside Of the Twin Cities had refused to
accept tho railroad's terms and had gone
out. Later the telegraphers In the Twin
City terminals Of the Great Northern quit,
From further West kilograms kept pouring
In telling Of others going out, but there wss
no means OF ascertaining the number of
men who have abandoned their keys.
Recently the telegraphers voted in favor
Of a strike unleas all their demands were
conceded. Perham says that II settle
ment Is not offered at his terms at once
the strike will be called. He Is using every
means, however, to prevent 1t. and i'm
mediately upon learning the position of
the managers Of the roads he telegraphed
to President James j. Hill OF the Great
Northern and President Howard Elliott OF
the Northern Pacific, who are In New York,
asking them to intsrcede In behalf Of the
operators. Upon their answers seems to
depend the strike.
Both railroads have been preparing for
present conditions.
Recently number Of telegraphers were
imported from St. Louis and other cities
and placed at convenient places along the
lines. They are available for this emergency.
Both companies are In better condition to
meet the strike. also, because Of telephones,
which are IN use on several divisions. The
officers Of the road said tonight that while
traffic might be impeded 1t would not be
stopped by general strike.
