TUNNEL PRIVILEGE REFUSED.
New Yo.' Aldermen Defeat Project
en Which Million Have Been
Expended by 10 to 58.
ny a vot of 10 to B. the Board of
Aldermen of New York, have refused
to grant tu the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company the franchise for building
Its tunnel from New Jersey to lxing
Islund City. The Aldermen denied
that there was any "hold up." or that
the rerusal was part of a scheme to
force the road to pay enormous aums
for votes. To the surprise of every
one, Including members of the board
llorough President Jacob A. Cantor
took a firm stand against granting the
franchise, on the ground that It
would establish a practical monopoly
of the road. He said It was a mys
tery to him why there was no clause
maintaining the rights or union labor.
Many of the Aldermen showed that
they resented the act of the Pennsyl
vania road last spring In obtaining
the passage of an enabling act by the
Legislature, ignoring them entirely
and giving to the Rapid Transit Com
mission and the Mayor the right to
pass on the franchise. The fact that
this act was afterward so amended
as to include the Aldermen did not
appease their resentment. Hy an
overwhelming vote the Aldermen
made It Impossible for the Pennsyl
vania road to get its franchise unless
the members of the Rapid Transit
Commission see tit to amend the
grant so as to meet their wishes.
When the franchise came up there
was great confusion. Several Alder
men jumped to their feet. Alderman
McCall got the attention of the Presi
dent anil said: "We want to decide
this thing right now. Everybody has
read about the so-called holdup. This
franchise is the most gigantic that
bns been before this board for years.
The ralfroad people come here and
ask us to give them practically the
whole of New York." He also said
he objected to the contract because
as it stood there was nothing to pre
vent the railroad company from Im
porting labor from the cheapest mar
ket and building the tunnel without
regard to the labor laws. Alderman
Goodman, who favored the contract,
In reply said he wished an amend
ment could be made compelling the
contractors to employ only union
labor and to conform to the prevail
ing rate of wage law. He believed,
however, that such an amendment
would be unconstitutional.

train was hurried out from Xenla and
another from Dayton, with all the doc

was flying eastward at highest speed
when the engine struck a loaded coal
car. which in the darkness had es
caped from the aiding in Xenla and
had run down grade to the danger
point. The engine struck It going at
full speed and was turned over, wltb
Engineer Clark underneath. The pos

ploded, setting fire to the wreck. The
postal car, the coaches and two sleep
ers were destroyed entirely. Cries
for help could be heard from one of
the Pullmans, and the helpless on

women and one man burned to death
before their eyes, unable to lend any
aid on account of the fierceness of the
Hames. At that point the Cincinnati,

TRADE CONFIDENCE FIRM.
Outside of Coal Strike and Lack of
Transportation No Cloud Ap
pears Orders Good.
R. O. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review
ot Trade says: Each day brings the
agriculture products of the nation
nearer maturity, and as the posslbll
Hy of any serious injury become
smaller, the feeling or confidence la
fully sustained trade grows stronger.
Storms destroyed much property in
some sections, and the prompt restor
ation or structures has added to ths
activity or building trades. Railway
stocks rose to new high record quota
tions and gold was exported, yet
money ruled easy. July oats succeed
ed corn as the leading speculative
cereal, but all distant grain option
tended lower as the outlook im.
proved. The heavy distribution of
merchandise is shown by railway
earnings.. thus far reported for July 25
per cent larger than last year and
20.0 per cent In excess or the cor
responding period or 19uu. Insuffi
cient fuel is the one serious difficulty
in the Iron and steel industry. Inter
rupttons and delays rrom this causa
becoming more noticeable each day.
Supplies or coal are curtailed by iue
strike, although coke ovens are mak
ing new records or production. Ship
ments are retarded by the car and
motive power shortage. In a market
where there Is comparative dullness
because deliveries cannot be made
promptly theoutlookror long continued
activity seems favorable, especially
as scarcity or ruel cannot continue
a factor indefinitely. All form of
pig iron have Bold far ahead, and
there is no evidence of overproduc
tion In the near future at least. Bil
lets are still somewhat unsettled by
heavy importations, yet domestic
prices are steady and further foreign
arrivals ae expected. A new week has
brought out more liberal orders- for
railway supplies, and1 the atructural
mills have taken contracts dating
still further into next year. Makers
of agricultural machinery and tool
grow more confident as the season ad
vances, and all line of finished steel
are in an exceptionally firm condi
tion. Footwear factories have re
turned to almost full operation, con
tracts coming forward freely from
wholesaler at the large cities. Aside
from moderate buying for Red sea
port there ha been little trade in the
export division of the cotton good
market. Domestic purchase are con
fined to immediate requirements aa
a rule, the finer grade alone being
ordered in advance. Failure for the
week numbered 208 in the United
States, against 198 last year, and 17
In Canada, against 28 last year.
Bradstreef says: Wheat, Includ
ing flour, export for the week ending;
July 24 aggregate 3,980,869 bushel,
against 3.77S.222 bushels last weelc
and 6,934,526 bushel this week last
year. Wheat exports since July 1 ag.
gregat 13.765.306 bushel, against
19,737,647 bushels last aeaaon. Corn
export aggregate 79.611 bushel,
against 130.679 bushels last weelc and
l.lSS.m bushel last year. For tne
fiscal year corn export are 459,405
bushel, against 716,401 buehoU laat
eaaaoa.
