the Cars.

NEW YORK, Aug 12.-Scenes OF dis
order were witnessed ON a number Of the
trolley and elevated roads leading to Coney
Island today when passengers. guided by
an opinion handed down by Supreme Court
Justice Gaynor yesterday, refused to pay
second fare. At one period during the
afternoon the Brooklyn Rapid Transit
company refused to convey its passengers
beyond Neck road, the second fare bound
airy. so long as any Of the passengers re-
fused TO pay the additional cents. The
result was a blockade of cars and trains
a mile long. Great crowds OF elected pas
sengers gathered at these condensed
points, held indignation meetings and
promised to bring many suits for damages
against the company. The police authori-
ties had taken precautions to prevent se-
rious trouble at the place, although the
police were instructed not to interfere in
disputes between passengers and employees
on the second fare question. Several pas
sengers were injured today in being thrown
from the oars. r

ferred with Mr.. Marr at his home here
today and after the meeting 1t was stated
to be the intention to carry the controversy
into the next annual contention of the

vote his e'ltire services to the orgs MIA ton.
Scarcely had he voiced this protest." the
statement proceeds. when he was con-
fronted with the accusation that he opposed
the passage OF the railroad telegraphers'
eight-hour law at the last session of the
Maryland legislatu and that he offered
bribe to have it withdrawn

made on charges which have only a shred
of fact for their basis. which have been
improperly tried aud have been prosecuted

Whether this was decided before or after
the attempt on the life of the grand duke

Grand Duke Nicholas believes such a post

to a purely military man. He advocates
the appointment Of General Linevitch. for
