Charging that the Federated lit

a meeting of thi Brooklyn Improvement

the meeting Father Gregory of thj

contend that the bridge should be built
further up the river at some point
where the structure would have sur
flcient elevation to allow steamers to
pass without the necessity of opening
a draw every few minutes. They would
also have all ear tracks placed below
the bridge so that the railways would
not Interfere with other traffic.

and that means the grand climax to the
plans and meditations of the past sev
eral weeks.
According to the Barnum and Bailey
Greatest Show on Earth announce
ments, there Is some Instructive and
entertaining amusement in store for
those who witness the unloading of
the circus paraphernalia. This is said
to be an education in itself.
The Barnum and Bailey show Is from
the standpoint of magnitude one of tho
two great circuses now on tho Amer
ican comment, and that means that It
must be a veritable moving metropolis
in the amusement line.
From the past reputation of the cir
cus, it is onlv reasonable to expect that
it still carries with It some of the
finest horses to by seen In the country,
and these will all be seen to advan
tage while the train Is being unloaded.
And the manner in which tho work of
unloading and setting up camp Is con
ducted Is said to be with clock like nre-
cislon. Every move Is for a purpose,
and on account of the multitude of
things that must be done at one time
the wheels within wheels turn without
Interfering with each other.
Then, when this work is nearly com
pleted, there will follow the monster
parade, in which the spectators will be
given their first opportunity to gaze on
all the animals and Interesting features
that go to make a circus menagerie.

3IKS. CORNELL ESCAPES
PAYING A FIXE
An effort was made by one of tho
warring spiritualist factions to have all
seven defendants in the enso brought at
the Instance of Bev. Green (". love
against .Sophia Seip and others fined in
the circuit court yesterday. it was
urged that the defendants have merited
punishment by falling to vacate their
offices as directors of tho State Spirit
ual association after they had been of
ficially ousted by tho court.
Judge Morrow analyzed the case as
far as possible and decided that the
secretary, Mrs Tou Kllen Cornell, was
tho only one who Ftands in such posi
tion that a fine might be Imposed. Ther
It was discovered that a rtnai tuae
ment that said nothlflg about fine bflf
been entered against her, nnd Judgt
Morrow held that he was without an
thorltv to fine even her. So for th
present, at least, no spiritualist money
will enticn me county treasury.
