atlantic Telephone Company Asks
for Nezc- 7 or'k Franchise.

An application of the Atlantic Telephone Com
pany for franchise to carry on general "tele-
phone, telegraph and telautograph business in
all boroughs of the city, was before the Board
OF Estimate yesterday. and referred. after
hearing, to Controller Grout. for inquiry as
to the value of the franchise. At the hearing
Colonel ]. D. Powers, president Of the company,
said he represented six hundred thousand inde-
pendent telephones within thousand miles
of the city, which were clamoring for connec-
ton with New-York. He spoke of the advan-
tages to the city in the establishment of COM
petition to the existing monopoly, and prom
ised an interborough rate of five cents mes
sage.
No one appeared in opposition, but the Mer-
chants Association sent a communication
pressing satisfaction with the existing telephone
conditions, and warning the city not to be in too
great a hurry TO promote opposition and destruc-
tive competition
Speaking of the companys plans, John A. L.
Campbell, OF the law firm of Campbell & La Far,
general counsel for the company said:
We are much pleased at the outcome of the
hearing to-day. We were not at all surprised at
the protest filed by the New-York Telephone
Company through the Merchants Association.
1t viii scarcely require any argument to show
the source of that protest. The fact is since the
basic patents of the Bell expired some ten years
ago. more than two million telephones have been
installed in the United States and more than
100000 600 of money is invested in the business
With the exception Of New-York and Boston,
every large city in the country has two systems
OF telephones, and the fact that the independent
companies are operating nearly three times as
many telephones as the Bell which has been in
the business over thirty years. speaks for itself
The equipment is newer and superior in every
way to that used by the Bell The charges on
the whole do not average 90 per cent of those
of the Bell.

MANY MORTGAGES FILED
Register Ronner's Force Busy Au
Day-s3O 900 900 Represented.

The fact that the mortgage tax law goes into
effect to-day served to draw a crowd of more
than four thousand persons to the Morton Build
ing, in Nassau-st, yesterday. At times the
pushing throng became so numerous that finally
Register Ronner was obliged to ask Captain
Hodgins Of the Oak-st station for policemen
to aid him III carrying the business of his
office. Captain Hodgins responded quickly and
sent to the building squad of men under the
command of Detective Maher, who, after look
ing over the ground, decided that six men could
take care of the crowds and withdrew the rest
of the squad.
The figures for the day had not been made up
early this morning, although at o'clock
twenty-five clerks were still at work on the pa
pers- They expected to stay until daylight
though their hopes were that the work would
be finished by about 3 o'clock. About midnight
Mr.. Ronner gave out a statement in which he
said that for the day there had been no fewer
than three thousand papers filed. He said that
of these twenty-five hundred were for mort
cages. He thought that the amount of money
represented in the papers could be not less than
S3O,000,000. His examination of the papers, he
explained, was only cursory and the corrected
tables might show him to be badly mistaken.
With Mr.. Ronner were his first deputy, Henry
H. Sherman; second deputy Joseph P. Hen
nessey, and the chief clerk, Bernard Douras
William H Sinnott the newly appointed deputy
hand, and offered his services, but as his
term of Office does not begin until to-day the
offer declined
The office of the Register in Kings County
has been fairly swamped with work in the last

tory of the office broken, when 1898
mortgages were handed in that they would
escape being taxed Yesterday this record was
surpassed, in the neighborhood of 1880 mort
cages were presented to be placed on file
Register Dooley will not announce the names
of the appointees he has been authorized TO add
to his staff as a result of the additional work
caused by the Mortgage Tax bill until to-day.
Inasmuch as he is to have hard primary fight
on his hands in the fall and no election patron
age, it is believed that most of the appointments
will be from his own district, the 18th.

AGE|S RESTING SAGE
VETERAN MONEY LENDER TO
 QUIT BUSINESS LIFE.
But Abandon Wall Streetp Neverl- S What the Face of the Man Y Who Believes in Hard
 Work Reveals.

So many times has the report gone out from New York that Russell Sage, the aged money lender of Wall street, wal going to retire from business, that like the cry of Wolf, wolf" by the boy in tho fable, the public has ceased to give the statement credence. By this time the report can be relied upon as true, at least in part. The S9 years of the veteran broker are beginning to tell on him, and he is gradually abandoning the routine of his daily business life, which has been for a generation the wonder and joke ot his acquaintances.
 Mr. Sage Is the largest individual money lender in the world, and has been for half century, conspicuous figure in Wall street. Now he is to relinQuisb his active business life, but abandon Wall street, as has been announced in some quarters, never! Russell Sage will never wholly desert Wall street until the breath has left his body. It's life is . part of his life. Its excitement and tu- mutt have kept his blood aglow with the fervor of youth at an age when other men in more sober pursuits have been half blind groping for an open grave.
 Russell Sage is stubbornly reluctant to yield even to the memorable demands of time. His spirit of combativeness still defles the inflrmities of the flesh. But he is forced to yield. The past few weeks have taught him this.
 Russell Sage believes in and exempli- des the gospel of hard work. Work has been his hobby. The lack of relaxation has narrowed his life. Whether through habit or through prenatal influences, MT. Sage cares nothing for books, music or the drama.
 Several years ago a New York phrenologist examined his head and gave very flattering, reading of his bumps" But. the head suggests very little to the average man or woman un- less 1t be sadly misshaped, with a charac- ter in conformity. The face is an open
