FATAL ACCIDENT TO A CHILD, A little git] named Lillie Taylor, aged six years, while iunning across Hamilton avenue, South Brooklyn, last evening, was run over by a grocer'’s | Wagon, driven by Simon Korner, of No, 443 West | Forty-ninth str New York. The child was atcended by a physician who pronounced her n+ jaries a8 fatal, but as they were accidental the father reiused to prosecute Korner, who was re- leased trom custody, The child died at a later hour im the evening, hters to mourn a kind and considerate jatiher. | the dark days of the stragyle of this | is that the work of carrying the Elevatea way to the Grand Central depot would occupy put a short time, and if commenced soon an opportunity would be given to test the experiment during the coming summer. This, however, though good in itsel/, should not serlously tnterere with the main question of rapid transit, namely—“How to reach the City Hall or the Battery by a steam road direct from the Grand Central depot?” ‘Tae answer to my mind is plain. It is simply this, ex- tend the tracks of the New York and Harlem Railroad south on the line indicated in ine Vanderbilt charter, as surve) ed, laid out aud its cost estimated by the late Issac U. Buckhour. I was amused in reading in tie HERALD this Morning the remarks of a Mr. Morell, mace at a mecttug of the subscribers to the “deferred capi- tal fund,” » This gentleman must o¢ an “au- thority” on the subdjeci of rapid transit, Speak: Of the line Of railway as alluded to in the Vander bilt charter. he positively asserted wha! could not be built; “that it was inoperative,” dow, +10 opposition to the “wise saws” of Mr. Moreil, we have the very best protess:onal anthority or saying that the road could not only be built, but built at a reasonable cost; and I have little doubt but that it would have been an accomplished tact at this time i! the Commodore had been allowed to proceed with the work ot construction im good Jatth, No sooner did his engineers appear witit thelr surveying Instruments im the City Hail Park to locate and lay out the site ior the passenger Station House, imtended to have deen erected there, than oostructions were tnrown in the way ol tne enterprise vy the Common Council | and others, See the proceedings of the | board of Aldermen of tuat date, particularly the resolutions introduced by Alderman Conover. J’roperty owners, too, When the line was located tarough the block, irom the Bowery and Bayard street to Centre sireet, near the City Halt Park, demanded enor- mous damages, When they knew very well that lnstead of tee road proving a damage to them that its-construction woula have eniiunced tie vaiue of then property one hundred sold, Bat they thought they saw a chance of bi ig the Commodore. Mr. Vanderbilt was also onstructed in nis operations the demnet “Metropulitan Undergrouna Ratir Company,” Whose ofticers claimed that their charter gave them the right to all tne ground under toe City Hall Park, and that Mr. Vaucerbilt under ais © ter had bo rigais there. ‘The Underground Company aiso clauned exclusive rights mn the viciuity of Union squar | It seems (0 me that the first step to be ta order to secure & direct rapid transit raiway irom the Grand Central depot to the Battery is jor the Legislature To pass a general iiw repeat- ing all chatlers beretotore granted to rapid companies, either lor‘ underground or e Ways, in the city of New York, then to ren Vanderbilt charter, with Whatever amendments | or changes may be deeme t advisadie bya dourd. | of competent, professions ». Let tbe mncor- Pporators in the new or 1 charter be men of known wealth, itegity and abuity—such as c. Vandervit, A. Tt. Stewart, Mr. or, Lewis B.
