the fruit peder and took the other two men
along TO the station as witnesses

the situation changed Magistrate McAvoy de-
cided that the pedler's story that the men. after
grabbing some peaches from his stand and re-
fusing to pay for them had attacked and beaten

had tried to cheat them out of change for

he wanted to die, he broke away from them and
made another dive against railing. Then the
court attendants were reinforced by a couple Of
Dig policemen. and the four managed TO subdue
Goodridge. The magistrate, when quiet had
been partially restored, ordered that the prisoner
be taken to the Tombs and put into a strait
Jacket On the way to his cell Goodridge tried
TO break away from the prison keepers who had
him in charge and throw himself from the stair

Cromwell for some time the man most strong

with his constituents, believed to be also
suit Of 4 less tentative proposal that he
should be the candidate for Mayor this year This
and the desire to retain the single Republican vote

believed to be reasons that materially influenced
his advisers
Although the nomination of a Mayor from the
smallest borough Of the city would be entirely IN
precedented. 1t is acknowledged that Mr.. CrOm-
wells candidacy would be OF unusual strength,
since it would be calculated to win the approval
OF the smaller independent bodies. Even the CIti-
zens Union has several times indOrsed him, and
his nomination is believed in some quarters to be
one that would contribute to fusion.

ANOTHER FAN FOR THE SUBWAY.

Out Needs of Main Tube

That the air in the subway will be benefited by

at the Brooklyn Bridge station no one who
has stood near the one the downtown side of
the station will deny. 1t given to the workmen
the 14th-st. station to make their labor more
bearabe. 1t is similar TO the one used below the
Brooklyn Bridge station.
These two fans to be augmented by two
more, and when all four are in place 1890 cubic
feet air will be displaced in this station every
minute This means a cleansing out of the air Of
the entire station every five minutes.
Thus far the commission has followed the sug-
gestions OF The Tribune in its plea for exhaust
fans purify the air.
a well known engineer said last night:
It's all very well to purify the air in the sta
tons but this will do no possible good to the
passengers on the trains. But place these big
fans in between the stations and different prob
