As no licensa is required, he snys, hg the act nnder which the charter was obtained, the Company docs propose fo he bled. Then there was also & donbt a¢ to the legality of the ~ordinance when it wan remerabered that the Council paseed it con- trary to the well-defined opinion of the La® De- pariment. Mr. Tnrner stated yesterday that, in case Mayor lieath approved the orainance, the Company will prepare to reaist thae claim, and, If need be, catry it up (o the conrt of last rerort, 1f they were beaten, he thought he saw other ways to equalize the amount thns eollected, and, while not ready to say that hie plan wan to abolieh the ticket syatem and pat the facea back to five conts, that war evidently what he proposed to do in cave the ardinance was enforced {hrongh the courts. THN WHST AIDE. > Mr, J. Russell Jonen. the President of the West $ide Rallroad Company, was asked yesterday by & Trinuxe reporter what conres the Company meant to pursue in referenca to the ntalnanca just paas. ed, Mr, Jones sald he Liad not had an opportnnity of consalting with the_ stockholders, and was not prepared to anewar, tla believed the ordinance would prove to ba Invalid, and he had good legal advice tosupport hie opinton. Tha same question came up, be maid, many years ago, when lae- brouck Daviawas City Attorney, and Mr. Davis then told the Common Connell i they passed suen an ordinance it conld never be enforced, The present Cm’rammn Counnel had advised the pres- ent Counciito the self-ssme effect, and yet the Councl] passed the ordinsnce. Ar. Jonessald the principal matter to be re- gretted, Incase of the ordinance being carrled into offcct, was that it would compel the Company to stop tasning faro tickols at the rato of 4 conts, and this they svould rather not do, as it would be a grievance and & tax upon the poorer classes who aro compelled to ride upon the cars. The Com- any would be driven to this in seif-defente, sald R(r. Jones. ‘*Itwasa voluntary concesslon In the first place,’ d he, '‘to the public, and one which we were not in any way called upon to make, and [ shonld vo much regret to have to re.cstablish the old rates," Mr, Jones regarded tho haseage of the ordinance at this junc. ture ae 8 ringuiarly nnwise measure, It wonld not injura ;the strect.raiiroad cumpanz excopt by Dringing 1t fnto coilislon with the Clty* Govern. ment shonld it rerlst, and inlo an unpopnlanty wwith the people shoald it submit, through the taising of the (ares. 1n re| lgln tbe qucstion whether the Company wollld Aeht or subinit, Mr. dJones ssld ha did not know, having had no' opportanity of coneulting with the stockholders. All ha could eay waa that the Company's legal adyisers coincided entirely ‘with the oplnlon of tho Corvoration Connsel that the ordinanco was Invalid. POSSIBLE MURDER., STAYPGRD—BULLIVAN, Tt wae thought by cvery ono who read yestor- day's papars that the celebration of 8t. Patrick’s Day had passed i this city without any tragic af- falr. The sequel of the day's dolngs did not come to band until yesterday noovn, and then more by accldent tban In any other way. The facts aro few: During Monday forencon, John Staf- ford and Timothy Sulilvan, rolated to each other, inssmuch ss they marrled slsters named McCarthy, ond both residing In 8 rude dwelling nt No, 113 Sebor sirect, had o nuarrel abonl eomo domestic dificulties datingiwo years back, the articalars of which fend aro atill’kept a secret in he family.

A peenilarity do- veloped was that Condit made ont itemized "bills and handed them in, and npon his word warrants were drawn for the amount.
