MAYOR Away; GUESSERS BUSY.
They Make GrOut Corporation Counsel and
Iantry city Chamberlain.

Since il became known that Mayor
Mcclellan, before leaving for his vacation
on July Is, will make some changes in his
administration and will Ill the vacant Offices
OF City Chamberlain and Tax commissioner
besides naming the two Magistrates for the
night court, the City Hall has been full Of
speculative Tpmors.
A report was floating around the building
yesterday that in the event of the removal
of Corporation Counsel Ellison ex-Comp-
troller Edward NJ. Grout would be his sue
cessor. Although the Mayor and Mr.. Grout
are on terms Of the closest friendship il
is doubtful IL Mr.. Grout would take the
Office. His friends say that his law practice
brings him in at least 500, 900 a year and his
salary as Corporation Counsel would be
only SIS, 900. Moreover, he is counsel for
the New York and New Jersey Telephone
Company. which is opposing the application
Of the Atlantic Telephone Company for a
franchise to operate in this city.
Another rumor was hat the Mayor in
tends to promote Fire Commissioner Francis
J.. Lantry to the Office Of City Chamberlain
and to transfer Commissions OF Correction
John v. Coggey to the head OF the Fire
Department. None Of these reports could
be traced to any authoritative source.
Mayor Mcclellan himself did not come in
from Princeton yesterday.

child Of Mrs. Victoria Lassalla of $3.50 Met
ropolitan venue williamsburg, was killed
yesterday afternoon by a heavily laden
sand truck in front OF $50 Metropolitan
avenue. The death Of the girl was fol-
lowed by attempts TO kill the driver OF
the vehicle, Andrew Rigo, % years old,
who lives at Is jackson street. He ia
employed by the contracting firm Of Haley
Il Keegan OF 80 and 81 Dobbins street,
Greenpoint.
The child had been with playmates and
set out to cross the roadway Just as the
truck came along. Rigo, it is said, was
looking in an opposite direction The
wheel passing over her head and chest.
Mrs. Lassalla was sitting on the front
stoop Of her house and witnessed her child's
awful death. She screamed, al did other
women, and in a few moments hundreds Of
Italians swarmed out of the thickly p
lated dwellings in that neighborhood.
"A large crowd gathered around the truck,
and a dozen Italians caught hold Of Rigo.
Somebody sent word to the Bedford ave-
nue. police station and Capt. Dreamer led the
reserves or a run to the scene. When thu
police got there there were fully 1000 per-
sons, and the police were obliged TO fight
their way to Rigo, who was almost dead
from the beating he had received.
Ambulance Surgeon Haupt, who had
been summoned from the Eastern District
Hospital, found the child dead and
turned his attention to Rigo. The mob
surrounded the ambulance and the police

MUTUAL Gas CO.'S FRANCHISE.
Corporation Counsel Ellison Begins an
Attack on II In the Supreme Court.


Corporation Counsel Ellison, who served
notice some time ago on several Of the
public lighting companies that he intended
to test the validity OF their franchises, has
taken the first step toward bringing these
cases into the courts. He served his first
complaint yesterday when he began pro-
ceedings against the Mutual Gas Light
Company. The basis OF the complaint
is that the Board Of Aldermen on April 81,
1888, gave permission to the company to
lay pipes for thirty years, and that this
permit has expired, and that the COM
pany did not obtain the consent in writing
Of the ma jori of he owners in interest
OF the property Immediately adjoining
the part of the streets or highways dug
into"
The Corporation Counsel charges tina the
rights of the company expired April 10,
1893. and hat their maintenance Of pipes,
mains and conductors constitutes a tres
pass, a nuisance and invasion OF public
rights.
Mr.. Ellison asks the Supreme Court
In his complaint for a permanent In Injunction
to prevent the company from proceeding
with any OF its business or operations
and hat IL be commanded to remove all
pipes and other entertainments from the
streets, or that the company be commanded
TO apply for a new franchise and that an
accounting be had TO find out the dan ges
the city has sustained by reason of the
unlawful occupation OF the streets and
public places in the city.

Horrors Of the old Police stations.
In his quarterly report sent to Mayor
Mcclellan yesterday Police Commissioners
Bingham recommends the revoking OF
many OF the licenses now held by nickel
odeon shows, five cent theatres and cheap
vaudeville performances which are running
throughout Greater New York and urges
that steps be Immediately taken to sup
press all those resorts that IA been COM
planned against.
In his report Gen. Bingham said that
the suppression Of these cheap shows which
violate the law would be a prominent fac
tor in the betterment of city conditions
and he appeals TO the Mayornot TO be lenient
in permitting the renewal OF licenses. He
adds that in every case reported the Police
Department is prepared to give corrobo-
rative evidence. Most Of the complaints
were forwarded by the Children's society,
which charged that small boys and girls
under the age OF sixteen were admitted
to these places, which are a menace to the
morals of children.
With respect to the condition Of the
police stations in this city Gen. Brigham
said:
After numerous and vexatious delay
considerable progress has been made in OBJ
tanning sites and beginning work on the
plans for new station houses in the lower
part of Manhattan and to replace some OF the
old and unsanitary station houses. Owing
to the high price of land In Manhattan II has

In rather d fashion a letter appeared
in the house Of Solomon Silverman at SO
Rutgers street yesterday. No one knew
where it came from nor how it got in the

note in Yiddish explaining that Solly Silver
man. aged 81? years, might be found at
2sO Mott street, where he was being de-
tanned by a tall. slim. n armed Italian
organ grinder.
The Silvermans were glad to know that,
because Solly disappeared from the street
in front OF his home on Saturday afternoon
just about the time that an organ grinder
left there. The Madison street police re-
ported the finding Of the letter TO Head
quarters, from which a general alarm for
Solly had been sent out on Sunday. Two
lieutenants ven TO $50 Mott street. but
found no such Italian there.
At 276 Mott street, however, they found
a slim. one armed Italian and arrested him.
Solly was nowhere TO he seen. The Italian
Marsello Panarella, was let go after Solly's
sister said he was not the man who was
handling the street piano.

RAINBOW CANYON
With Rock, Concrete and Steel,
Railroad RebuildS

The work of putting in concrete abut-
ments and piers for steel bridges and
spans has begun in Rainbow Canyon,
writes John Spangler, who is working
with one of the concrete gangs. Grad
ing outfits are also at work raising the
roadbed. The railroad ''quarries, he
says, are worked day and night by
hordes of Mexicans, who dislodge the
rocks on the steep slopes OF the canyon
sides, with the assistance of gravity
thus supplying all the material needed
for riprapping.
The nature of the work being done
indicates that the canyon has been de-
cided upon as the permanent route OF
the Salt Lake through Nevada. Its
picturesque scenery is valuable asset,
which the railroad cannot afford to
lose. A fortune has alrea, been spent
in fighting the annual flood.
