FIRST THINGS

The first street car line in the world
was inaugurated in New York eighty
two years ago today. The rolling
stock consisted at first of one car,
fashioned much like the oInnibuses in
use on London and Paris streets, but
differed in that it was run on wooden
rails. This pioneer traction line ex-
tended from Prince street and the
Bowery to YorkvtfIe and Harlem,
which were then suburban villages.
This was the only street railway in the
world until 1852. when lines We're built
on Second, Third, Sixth and Eighth
avenues, in New York. Boston's first
street railway was opened in 1856,
and Philadelphia inaugurated a SINH
lar service the following year. The
first street railway in England was at
Birkenhead in 1850. In 1868 a line
was laid in Liverpool, and London S
first tram dates from 1859. The first
street railway in France was from ST.
Cloud to Paris, built in 1856. Horses
furnished the motive power for all
these pioneer street railways. New
York the first city to have horse cars,
is also about the last, as several horse
car lines are still in operation in Man
haitian.

100000 FOR NEW
HAVEN HARBOR
ARMY ENGINEERS RECOMMEND
TO CONGRESS EXPENDITURE
OF THAT SUM TO COVER
THREE YEARS.

New Haven. Jan. 11.-New Haven
ers and everyone interested in the
shipping interests of New Haven were
delighted beyond measure last even
ing when word was received in this
city from Congressme John @. TiIson
and Thomas L. Reilly to the effect
that the army engineers, who have
been at work during the past year in
taking the measurem ents of the local
harbor, have recOnm ended an apprO-
priation of 100000, to be expended
for the widening of the New Haven
harbor channel. The reconm end ation,
according to the messages received in
this city by the Chamber of Com
merce and the board of harbor com
missioners, was contained in the
port of the engineers filed at Wash
ington yesterday. 1t advises the
spending of $4,000 this year and $780,
900 to be spent annually thereafter for
two years. Assurances of the hearth
est of support by both congressman,
in pushing the matter through and
having it embodied in the rivers and
harbors bill, were sent with the tele-
grams. Members of both the Cham
Der of Commerce and the harbor com
mission were delighted, needless to
say. last. evening when this word was
received, for it is the elimination of
a hard fight by both OF these bodies
and the other civic bodies of New Ha-
ven which has lasted for many years.

Justice Greenba.un of the New York
Supreme court has not yet announced
his decision in the injunction proceed
ings brought by Miss Annie M. Cor
coran, of New Haven, deposed supreme

them from holding convention on
Monday in New York city In the
event of the decision not being an
nounced before Monday, the day of
the convention, the delegates will meet
as advisory assembly to act upon
the matters which are rending the or
der, in order to be able to report back
to their respective circles the future
policy of the order.

preferred against Miss Corcoran in
case the convention is enjoined, and

the merits of the respective factions.
The last member of the executive
board, Miss Emma. SCHUYLER, of Ohio,

moved by her and a new board of
