— RAPID TRANSIT. Meeting of the “Deferred Capital Fund” Association Yesterday. me ITS FINAL ORGANIZATION. oa SS Meeting of the Municipal Reform Association on the Subject Last Evening. The New York Rapid Transit Association, whose object is to procure a sum of money with which to purchase ‘deferred interest bonds’ of some elevated railway corporation and thus advance the work 01 that corporation, met yesterday after- noon in the rooms of the Chamber of Commerce. ‘The proceedings were livelier than any that have ‘been had at any rapid transit meerieg heretofore. Mr. B. L, Ackerman, who had hitherto acted as chairman of the meetings of the subseribers, called the meeting to order at about hall-past two o’clock. He then resigned his place, nominating Alderman McCafferty to act in his stead, The latter gentleman declined the honor of veing chairman, as Mr. J. M. Drake did also when 4% «was subsequently proffered to him. Finally Mr. Wiliam 4H, Morrell nominated Mr. Gouverneur Morris to preside over the meeting, and, upon being chosen unanimously, Mr. Morris took the chair. The secretary of the previous meeting of the association, Mr, Frank G. Brown, not being present, Mr. Unarles H. Roosevelt was, with some difficulty, prevailed upon to act in his stead. The minutes of the last meeting having been read and adopted, the committee which was formed at that session to drait @ constitution and bylaws reported the form ofa constitution, This having been read, as a whole, by Secretary Roosevelt, amotion was made that it be read again and each section of it passed upon witbout reference to the others. The first section of the document was then read and adopted, when Mr. Root moved that further action upon it be ‘ DEFERRED POR A WEEK, and that in the meantime the constitution, as pro- posed, be printed and copies of it be sent to the gupscribers, 80 that they might leisurely form decisive opinions upon its provisions, There was @ running series of remarks made upon the mo- tion, and some of them so vehement that Mr. Root became frightened, being & mila old gentle- man, and withdrew the obnoxious proposition. Then everybody appeared to be satisfied in some sort, though not thoroughly, for some of the more talkative of the subscribers looked as i! they had @ painful duty to perform which acted upon them somewhat as prickles hurt a barefooted boy. In ‘Fact, there seemed to ve something wrong in the meeting; scowls were settied upon the features oi some of the members of the asso- ciation, and they were uneasy in their minds as Well asin their chairs, But the voting went on quietly until the last section of the constitution ‘Was reached, when it was discovered that it, as written, provided that vhe Board of Directors should be elected at the annual mecting of the association on the third Monday of March, unless that day was a@ holiday. Mr. William H. Morrell, With an exquisite expression of acuteness such as Sir Boyle Roche propably revealed at divers times, remarked that ‘‘when that holiday which fell on the regular meeting day was a Sunday the meeting would have to be postponed, of course;” and he did not understand for some moments that in this world of leading and iollow- ing Sunday and Monday could not fall together, After Mr. Morrell’s mishap 1, ,Wag suggested that the words, ‘third Monday of March,” be stricken out of the constitution, and that the space ocenpled be left blank. Mr. H. N.Camp now remembered that some provision had been made, explicitly or tacitly, at tne pre- vious meeting of the association for tne election Of its officers at the present meeting and for : ____3EB Ag NIZATION, of the subscripérs to the “Deierreéd Capital Fang.” Mr. Charles H. Roosevelt agreed with Mr. Camp, and sald he supposed the officers of the assocta- tion would be elected at the present meeting. The latter saying of tue Secretary caled Mr. Murrell to nis teet. He said that he desired to speak in reference to the time to elect the officers of the association. He then presented the foliowing resolution: — Resolved, That the selection of permanent officers and directors of the associauion be deferred until subscrip- tions to the amount of $1,000,000 be procured. Mr. Morrell remarked that he knew that there are @ number of wealthy men, some of them capa- bie of buliding a rapid transit railway witn their own money, Who would take part in the enter- prise of the associauon as soon a& they could assure themselves that the boay of the subscribers Was organized to pursue its Object skilfully and with system. But such men, if they put large 8umS Oi money into your enterprise. want to con- trol that money; they want to become directors of your association, elsé they wi!l not enter it at all. ‘kney are uot willing to intrust the care of tue large sums of money which might be put imto your “fund”? to men who simply lovest $5C) or $1,000 in tne scheme of the association. IT have consulted with a number of the great capitalists of this city and J have found that they are in favor oO! rapid transit, bat hold aloof from thisassociation because they have hitherto had no evidence that it is COHERENT IN MATERIAL and action, and because it has not organized jormally, Let them but know that you have or- ganized formally, 80 far as you cau go without choosing your Oficers, aud they will enter into sAympathy with the scheme of ihe association, be- coming its main officers and sapporters, But 1 you elect your officers now you will debar thegreat And cautious capitalists trom taking part with you. Leuve the selection of officers over for a week Dow that we are #0 lar advanced toward perma- nent organization, and some of the most weaithy men of this city will join this association. I am authorized to pledge the credit of several capital- 188 upon your subscription lists upon certain Couditions. One gentleman has told ne tat be will subscribe $25,000 to the scheme of ce: ciation when it gives evidence of approm rg ‘proper organization, provided that he can obtain @ place in the Board of Directors, where he may Know what is done with bis money, Beyond thi he would, if he should enter the assocta- tion, give it an additional sum of $25,000 when the route and plan for the railway were approved by the organization, if the: also commended themselves to himself, We must get such men as the Capitalists Astor, Van- derbilt, Stewart and others into accord with us. ‘They can fight us and delay the eompletion of Fapid transit projects tor years if they choose to combine. But Mr, Astor lavorg the laying out of gn avenue for a rapid transit raliway, Uommodore Vanderbilt does not oppose rapid transtt and M:. Stewart is only determined that a railway of such @ Cuaracter shall got pass bis property on Broad- way or on Fourth avenue, Yet let us secu, ~*« ©o-operation of the other great capitalists anu Stewart would not be able to “BLOCK TUB WHEELS OF RAPID TRANSIT”? if Broadway or Fourth avenue, beiow nis property, was lound part of the best route for tue railway. Jacob Cohen arose now and seemed maa, if his “child-like aad biand’” features. can ever sustain the mark ol anger. He wanted to make an explanation, and be appealed to everyboay tor the opportunity to make it, He kuew he was out of order, he said, for his knowledge of parlia- mentary law 18 not limited, but Mr. Morrell had been out of order and still had been allowed to speak, He wanted to expiain, ana he felt, he said, That the fate of the agsuciation was resting upon what he should gay. But, alack! he was declared out of order and he sat down, but de. Clared that he would “explain” belore the meet- ing was over. Mr. Morrell, seeing that his resolu- tion was Ciusing a bedlam-like scene in the meet- ing, withdrew it from the consideration of the association. Yet, alter some more loud and earn- est talking, its purport was adopted by the meet- ing, which’ decreed that the words “vhe fourth Tuesday of March” take the place ofthe words which were excised {rom the last section of the constitution, The constitution was now adopted as @ Whole; bué its period of tribulation was not yet Over, as will be learned irom the report of the dater action of the meeting. Mr. Charles H, Koosevelt reported, from tne committee which was appointed at its late meet- ing to select candidares lor the places of ofice: of the association, that the committee had been Unable to select suitabie persons. He asked that the committee be aischarged from duty. Mr. B. L. Ackerman now arose, and said that & minority of the members of the committee was Prepared to report a list of persons suitable to overn the association. No attention seemed to paid to this statement, however, and Mr. P. W. Stebbins immediately thereafter arose, and moved that a committee of ten members ve ap- appointed to select officers ior the asso- ciation, He afterward amended the motion fo that five persons should constitute the cominittee, incluwing the three members of the former commitves, Mr, Roosevelt declined $o serve on the Nominating Committee, and was permitted to retire graceiuily. The motion hav- ing been passed, Chuirman Morris asked how the turee new members of the committee stould be appointed, and declined to name them bimself. Immediately calls were made trum all sides of the room. Jacob Cohen enersetically called pom ex: Alderman McCafferty to be a member of t! mi ‘The jatver modestly decimed alt and wanted Mr. B. L. Ackerman to do what ne Would not. The names of about a dozen men were being called in the room by the friends and admirers of those men; but Anally quiet was obtained, and somebody remarked that Mr. J, M. Drake ought to be @ Member of the commitree. That gentieman immediately arose and waiked to the table in the middie of the room, where he said ber of the committee, and that, on account of the general character of the work in relerence to Tapid transit which the association had assumed, he felt that he must withdraw from the associa. tion, Ue had planned @ special work, and he dia no} fee! inciined to depart from it and enter upon the general labors of accomplisaing rapid transit, Mr. Drake said that he ad = =peen & financier throughout his business; be bad looked at rapid transit, and had considered that only financial difficu.ties flood In the way Of its accomplishment. He had made & suggestion and a number o! gentlemen had considered it good; tney had cailea upon hua, Fnally, there had been a public meeting, aud then the present Organization was initiated, His idea had been to collect enough money to serve 48 @ jund which could be invested im the ‘de- ferred interest bonds” of some company which would undertake fo buiid @ good raliway. He sald he stiil adhered to that idea; but if Loe asso- ciation cnose to undertake the entire labor of providing the city with a rapid transit railway ne Jound no 1ault with it, Though he now withdrew from the association, bis sympathy would go on with it, because he wants to accomplish rapid transit, MB. DRAKE'S RPMARES caused some consternalion among the persons present, by Many Of whom it seemed to ve looked upon as the first symptom oi the disruption o/ the association, Mr, Root arose and said that if Mr. Drake left the association he felt that he must go also; not because he tagged himself to Mr. Drake, but be- cause he believed in the idea which that gentie- Iman had conceived. Jacoo Coben arose again to make the “explana- tion’? be hud promised. His remarks were all directed at Mr. Morrell, whom he charged with being ® cause Of disurganization in the asso- ciauuon. He said tnat Mr. Morrell, veing & member of & committee upon which he was also placed, had refused to 1, sign letters of invitation which would have brought prominent persons to the meeting of the association, where they would have seen that the society Was bond fide, and would have incorporated themselves in tt, Mr. Morrell replied to Jacob, saying that he did do what tue latter charged him with doing, but that he did it from a sense of duty, irom a dealing that to do more would be to overstep the bounds of his authority; and he wound up by addressing Mr. Cohen, to the effect that be did not wish to bear any more doubtiul phrases in reference to himsell issue trom the month of the leader of Mr. Drake wis PAR Uibed To Yeconnaer his resolution to withdraw from the association, but declined to do go ‘trom a sense of consistency,” he said. Mr. Stebbins having spoken upon the hecessity that the capitalists should ve got to par- ticipate in the undertaking of the association, ana that the best men should be procured for di- rectors of the institution, Mr. Conen again arose and energetically declaimeas against the capital- ists. ‘lf they do not build a railway the city will, ‘Tue people are interested tn rapid transit. Every working an wno loses two hours daily gomg irom up town and down town is intensely inter- ested in it. They must have it accomplisied, and 1 (Jacob Cohen) will do everything in my power to provide them with it.” r. Drake now, at the request of Mr. Camp, ex- Platued wherein was the diiference between his conception and the present design of the aasocia- t.on, The result was that the dificulty wes ioura in the constitution which the association had shortly belore adopted. The vote of adoption was, therelore, reconsiaered and certain sections ol the constitution were remodelled, Tue amended arucies were immediately adoptea, The constitu- tion as adopted is as follows :— First—The New ¥or® Rapid Transit Association Is established to devise means and measures by which rapid transit for ngers may be obtained through the city of New York by raising a capital iund for that purpose. Second—Any person may become a member of the gaigaistion who is interested in the subject for which the ‘lation is formed Upon such terms and conditions as are prescribed ff the bylaws b: ourth-"The officers of the association shall bem P dent, five vice presidents, @ secretary and treasurer, be elected by the members. Fiflh—Vhe board of directors shall elect from their own number a committee on finance, to be composed of five members; an executive committee of five, & com- mittee on legis.ation of three, and such other committees as. they iay deem RECRHRYy: ae. ‘ ‘Sic elections shall be by ballot. The officers glected shall hold office unt their successors shall be eMdsen. Th case of 4 vacancy in any office it shall be filed by a volo of the Board ef Directors at a regular meeting. ‘Seventh—This constitution may be amended by a two- tnird vote of the members gf the Board of Directors pres- ent at two successive ince@Ags thereot, provided a writ- ten or printed notice signea by three members, stating the character of the proposed amendment, and a copy of the same, be sent with the notice to all the members I the Board, of Directors at least five days before tne rst Meeting At which the amendment is to be acted upon, is ‘ighth—The officers of the association, acting with tne Board ot Directors, shail have power fo make such by- laws ay ihey may deem necessary to further the inter. ests of the association. to be approved ot by a mujority of the subscribers, present at @ meeting culled for that Purpose vefore taking effect. Ninth—There sil be held an annual meeting on the fourth iuesday (@March of each year, at which meetin; the election for directors shall take place, and suc! other business as may be brought before it. Kegular and special meetings are to be held as provided for in the bylaws. ‘rhe members of the Committee on Nominations, in whose selection so much trouble had been had, were now appointed. Their names are:—William H. Morrell, B. Raeder, J. M. Drake, B. L. Acker- man and Mr. Root. ‘There were 6ume very piquant and interesting Temarks made by members of the association after this time until Mr. Ackerman presented a resulution. The most notable of such remarks were made by Mr. Cohen who opined that Fag sults of the meeting were as nothing, and that “It we hadn’t met to-day we shoukln’t have got no further ep.’? The following is @ resolution intro- duced by Mr. Ackerman :— Whereas a bili is now pending in tho Legislature au horizing and requirmg the cities of New York Brooklyn to complete the bridge over tho Kast Ri as a public work, and whereas the expenditure neces- sary to complete said work 1s estimated to be $9,000,000, of which New York has. by the terms of said bill, to pay one-third, or $3,000,000; therefore, Resolved, That a committee ot three be appointed to consider the question asto whether the same amount expended in furnishing rapid tranmt facilities would not result in greater benefit to the citizens and taxpayers of New York city, sald commitiee to report atéhe next meeting of the association. This resolation was adopted by being rushed through in some strange way. It was then recoo- sidered, as a number Of persons had not heurd tt read belore the voting, and it was then laid upon the le. The meeting was adjourned until next Tuesday, when the rooms o/ the Chamber of vom- merce will be the scene of the gathering of the New York Rapid Transit Association, i! they are not otherwise used. THE MUNICIPAL REFORM ASSOCIA- TION ON THE PROBLEM, TWO PLING PROPOSED—ONE OAD TO HUN ON WHEELS AND ANOTHER WITHOUT. A meeting of the Municipal Reform Association, Seventh Assembly district, was held last night at No. 43 Washington square, south, to discuss the question of rapid transit. Although the public generally had been invited to attend and take part in the proceedings, the number present dur- ing the meeting was exceedingly small, General Lioya Aspinwall occupied the chair, Mr. W. Oland Bourne delivered an address on “Rapid Transit {rom Harlem River to Bowling Green.’ He commenced by relerring to the ne- cessity that exists and the demands that will yearly increase for rapid transit between the two “mite of the island, and then proceeded to ais- - ‘8 plan ina most disjointed and rambling manner—so much so that it 1a dificult to under- stand what it is Mr. Bourne would do. He proposes to build a@ surface road from Harlem River along Fourth avenue down to Union square in the first place, To do this he proposes to take 100 feet of the avenue, on which he would lay eight tracks, in between two walls eight feet high, which shall divide the railroad from the otner trac, He would either go through or around the depot at Forty-second Street, contending that men were not made for buildings, but buildings for men, From Union square he would go diagonally across Broadway and the intervening blocks until reacuing Greene and Eighth streets; thence down Greene street to Canal, through Oourch street to City Hall, locat- ing @ station by the side of THE NEW POST OFFICE, which he would aiso have removed to Fim, Ventre or Canal street, From the City Hall he would go to Bowling Green; but by what route he did not explain. He proposed to widen Greene and Church streets seventy-five feet. He nad not, he said, calculated the cost of such a road, or the means that should be used us a propelling power; but in regard to the former he thought any road would be expensive, aud bis plan would not cost more than any other, He thought his iaca was @ practical solution of the problem. (Great laughter.) In answer to @ question, he said ne had not considered any minor details, such as how his road was to be crossed at the different streets, but ne should say by bridges, the same as on other roads. Mr. Bourne had a huge diagram, or pian, pmned against the wall, with the aid of whieh he endeavored to elucidate his theory; out his efforts in this respect were some- what ineffectual, owing to the omission of alldetatis. Tne only point he appeared to make rominent was that @ nearly straight road could be made hid eg line he proposed. In conciud- ing bis rem@xks, and in answer to an inquiry he thought that the power couid be obtained from the Legislature thout diMcuity to build the road, He also said he thought a sunken or under- ground road Weald obviate the necessity of That it was impossible for him to become @ mem. | | With their opinion as to the propriety of ek bridges, and pernans be better tn every way, pot he Was acvocating bis plan—a surface road—and Would pot discuss the potnt, ANOTHER PLAN, } Mr. Stephen Angeli next addressed the meet. | ing. He said:—Thugs far hele had been done toward the practical settling of the question of Tapld transit, wien 18 surrounded wits difficul- tes, involving several apparently irreconcilable conditions, And here it may ve remarked wat | the recent movement to raise or borrow capital has met with ‘allure on account of the totally diverse objects sought by the parties in- terested, ‘Some destre ~ rapid passenger transit, especially from the northern poruon t) the southern portion of the city, while some desire @ rapid transit jor freigat and at cheap rates, The two tuiugs are irreconcilable and can , ve accomplished only by two very diverse systems of railways. The elements of success in rapid transit are mainly, first, economy of construction, | equipment and operation, in order to insure perma- hent low rates of fare; second, speed for through passengers vompined with iacilities for irequent Btops; toird, a system of transportation {rom malo to sectional lines, and vice versa, as will ac- commodate local travel without tnteriering with Lhrough travel, and which will Jactiitate the reach- ing almost ary point of the city; and, lastiy, com- jort and capacity, This cap ‘be accomplishea by the following ine‘hod, but its success cau only ve proven by experiment, when, no doubt, it will be Jound to be THE TRUE SYSTEM. In the matter of equipment it will cost much less than any other plan, perhaps one hall. It is proposed by me to construct over the curbs ot Wide stree{s an tron column or sustained ou light cast tron arches In spanning narrow streets, and When necessary cou'd pass through houses with little disturbance to the rest of the building, with the main lines running continuously at the rate of filteen or twenty miles per hour. There could ve combined a twin road for cars stopping every quarter or hal ile, according to the demands o/ travel. The structure cauld be ornamental and its operation noiseles+, Toe cars can easily be reached irom any point in the city, and it cannot in any way iteriere with any oteer kind of travel, These are impurtent points, and the next important one 16 to construct an engine that will work directly on the rail and driving wheels, for upon that de- pends the easy gliding Of the cars, which, mind you, do not rest on wheels, but glide on the well ouled track. There is always a conswwnt atrife between the bearing and the guiding por- fon of the flange on railroads, there being no boundary line to these two Junctions of the wheeis, Tne plan I propose also does away with the disagreeavle rolling motion that is feit in all road: a1 can certainly say that it Iusures perfect salety, and the cars can be Utied up ag elegantly as are the drawing room cars of our first class railroads.

THE DISEASE BREAKS OUT IN SETON HALL COL- LEGE—THE INSTITUTION CLOSED TEMPORA- BILY. Ascare similar to that occasioned some time ago by the report that St. Mary’s College, ut Bur- lington, N, J., was visited with a fever epidemic, has just been given by the report that the same disease—typhoid fever—recently broke ous in Seton Hall College, South Orange. Tne college 1s One of the most popular Catholic seats of iearning in the country, and is beautitully located in the town of South Orange, near the Orange Mountains. The situation ts considered exceedingly healthy and the management of the institution beyond cavil, One of the professors and hali a dozen of the stucents have been stricken with the malaay and are now under treatment at the college.
