8 HTLED ON THE STRERT RALS|=FORT#N®_EVENTS_ ABKono. Six Years’ Record of Casual- ties on City Car Lines. The Fatal Results of Over- crowding. VIEWS OF RAILROAD PRESIDENTS. Waiting for a Report on Killian’s Bill. Several weeks have now passed since Mr. Killian in- | Woduced in the Assembiy a bill Which Was referred to | (jp hi the Committee on Railroads of that body, providing | succes | the only inter that the street car companies of this city should be obliged to furnish seats to all passengers who paid Mieir fares, The measure was simple in its provisions, and was intended to relieve the inhabitants of the me. tropolis Of @ grievous evil, which has well nigh grown intolérable. In other parts of the country laws of exactly similar import have long been in operation and fully eatried out. Mr. Killian’s bil! contemplates the enforcement of theterms of the grants and charters of the companies, which they have deliberately diste- gAtded ahd by which action they have rendered them sél¥es liable to a forfeiture of their franchises, It ap- pears, Mowever, that the committes to whom the Measure was roferred for consideration has not ro ported it back, nor do its members show any signs of Dfinging it vefore the House at an early day, It is | tfue that a postponement was acceded to, it offer to accommodate a distinguished advocate who Was rétained by the companies, and who desired to bé heard on their behalf, in opposition to the bill. The time designated for this purpose has passed, and uy farther delay is very likely to provoke disagreeable | cotmments, Logisiation connot halt to suit the con- véhience of any one man, po matter how eminent, Lét that be remembered. The members of the Assem- bly Railroad Cotnmittee should keep in mind that their edurse on this bill is very closely watched, and that the corporations opposed to its passage are generally con- sidered as not being very scrupulous in the means used to attain their ends, We are now about entering, it must be remembered, on the third month of the ses- Bion, Action is the word, SLAUGHTER ON THE STRRET CARS. It addition to the many convincing reasons already piven to establish beyond cavil the great necessity of the enactment of such a law as is now proposed, some statistics to follow will show the continual heavy loss of tife and injuries to passengers who, in consequences of overcrowding, are obliged to stand on the platforms The yearly casual- ties On these vehicles constitute a ghastly record, whieh should at once meet with some remedial legisla- tion, During the past six yoars at leust 200 people have been killed outright and nearly 400 more or less injared by means of the horse roads. In most in- stances the sufferers have been those who were either thrown from or wounded on the platforms. The fol- lowing table, compiled trom the official reports, ex- hibits the fatal and other accidents on eight of the prifvipal roads during flve years proceding 1875:— Dry Dock Line. Belt. ..

It will therefore be noticod that the estimate given avove is not exaggerated.

And it will almost stagyer belief that the com jes, in reporting to the Legislature, frequently used the heartless tern, “Filled with rum,’’ when re- fefring to their victims. It will be foand on investiga- tion that this heavy bill of mortality and misery ‘s Mainly the result of forcing passengers to oceupy the Piatforms because no seais or standing room can be Secured ins! THE SIXTH AVENUE COMPANY, There ia one point made by Prosident Butler, of the above company, concerning the affairs of bis company | which needs some correction, Among the important roads of the city the Sixth avenue is the shortest, oply four miles in length. The track is over one rf latgest built up districts of the motropolis, and the grade is remarkably even. Besides, a portion of the rails of other companies aro used in the traffic. Cer- teloly no street railway company, in regard to distance, required a smaller amount of outlay for 1s construction apd equipment. In 1868, say twelve years alter it went INt© Operation, the cost for all Lg eed ‘was $1,500,000, with a debt of $925,000, and the dividend on’ paid up stOCk ($750,000, was ton per cent, outside of seven per tent on indebtedness. Two years later the debt was fedaced, and the same dividend and interest paid. In | 1873 the debt was $415,000, and cost of road $2,182,000, Now, by the last published report it seems the debt 18 | 1,195, that is, an increase of about $800,000 in one | year. The profit on the road, with the exception of | On® yoar, has remained the same since 1868, as tho accounts show, but there is no reason sot lorth as to what became of $800,000 added to the obligations of the | Bikth Avenue Company during the past two years and | upon which interest at the rate of reven per cent 18 The road did not increase in value, nor was there ny improvements or repairs mado or cara or cattle beyond the ordinary requirements of traffic. i# a singular condition of affairs, requiring an ex- | hours. | abte to go very fast fof one hour no more warrants him | night TRIUMPH FOR WESTON, (From the Standard, Feb. 17.) The great walking match, commenced on Tuesday evening at a quarter to ten at Agricultural Hall, has re- sulted, as was generally anticipated, in the break down of Clark, who attempted to compete with the veteran pedestrian from America, At the end of twelve hours Clark collapsed from the very same cause to which Perkins succumbed on tho first octasion in which Wes- ton metan English pedestrian, Clark’s fees became too tender for him to continue his journey. The great Mistake seems to have been that the English pedestrians have treated a walk of 100 or more miles in the same way in which they would have treated a walk fora short distance, The result has naturally been the same as if a man entirely out of condition were to at- tempt to shoot over fifty miles of ground ima pair of patent leather shoes instead of preparing himself for his exertion and providing himself with shooting boots. After walking about fifty-five miles tn a litele over twelve hours Clark retired to rest, when it was soon found that his feet wero in such a condition that it would be impossible to continue with the slightest prospect of Weston consequently continued waiking alone, t then left in the event being as to how many miles he would accomplish,in the forty-eight On this point the tables we give below speak jor themseives, That Weston is an extraordinary pedestrian there can be no doubt, and that he possesses great powers of endurance is equally evident, In fact, that Perkins and Clark have been extremely ill-advised in attempting to compete at such distances without preparation is self-evident, The fact of a man being attempting @ walk of twenty-four or forty-eight hours than the fact that a man being able to swim 500 yards in good time would warrant him in an attempt to swim the Channel. Weston’s performance up to 12:45 last will be seen below, He has taken but very occasional rest, when he has reciined ona bed keeping his feet higher than bis head, aod bas at times molsteped bis socks With spirit fof the purpose, proba- bly, of hardening the skin, His refreshment has con- sisted almost entirely of fiuids, and he seems aware of the fact, ignored by some, that the stomach will not disgest Solid food whilo the body is undergoing violent exertion, Tho nearest approach to solid food that Weston has taken has been some biscuits soaked in ar- rowroot, besides Which he has taken irequenuy small quantities of beet-tea, jelly and eggs beaten up in sherry, wastox, WESTON, CLARK, H.

[From the Standard, Feb. 17.] A great change having occurred in the weather, the frost and snow of Sunday and Monday baving disap- peared as quickly as thoy camo, the great Waterloo coursing meoting was opened to-day under most favor- able circumstances. A cloudiess sky, Drilliant sun- shine and a brisk, drying wind rendered the day a very eujoyable one. Both road and rail were taxed to the utmost, and when the first dogs were handed to the slipper at ten o/clock punctually, not fewer than 10,000 spectators lined the borders of the celebrated Altcar plains, a number which was more than doubled by mid-day. Tho beating arrangements were excel- lent, and as the crowd behaved exceptionally well, the card was got through berore three o’clock—torty-¢ight courses—a feat unpreeedented | in coursing, and, still more remarkable, not a single decision of the judge was questioned. Tho public favorites in most cases performed badly, and were nearly all defeated in the first round—King David, Greenburn, and Hematite cutting very sorry figures. ‘The crack Honeyingon, in her first course ran unsighted from the slips, and was led some-distance by Warren Hastings, but once getting well placed, she secured the fiat by aclever kill. Im her second trial she allowed Handicraft to doa great deal of work belore getung warmed to her business, when she just had the best of | avery Clever course.

Surprise won two short courses easiiy, and he has evidently got back to his form of 1874, and Haron and Ben Barr showed | meritoriously. Corby Castle won his easily, but in the second he only just mang Lafitte, and he is evidently slower in his pace than last | year. ‘Banker's two victories were the quickest and | shortest courses of the day. He has an immense turn | of speed and is clover with his teeth, as he allowed | neither of his opponents to score a point, Sister Mary displayed both speed and cleverness, while Lord dyne performed hike a thorough good animal, Alice Kelly dixplayed great cleverness and the outsider, Squatter, astonished all by his briliiant performance. | Happy Home, Diligent and Sherwood Daisy performed | luckily and cleverly. The meeting will be resumed to- morrow morning, when, in addition to the Great Cup, the Waterloo Place and Purse will also be placed on the card. _—__ | THE UNIVERSITY BOAT RACE. | }From the Telegraph, Feb. 17.

RIGHT AVENUE LINE DEFENCE | Passing from Mr. Butler, who estimates his road, tn! | eluding cars, horses, &c., at fully three times its actual value, the President oj the Eighth avenue line is found to grow enthusiastic over the blessings conferred on the public by street cars with all their flagrant abuses. | He rather prefers riding in a crowded vehicle, sianding | ona Riatiorm or packed like a herring inside, than | using his own ciegant carriage or handsome buggy. | He thinks also that as passengers sre continually ing they can get seats if they want them.

THE CENTENNIAL RIFLE MATCHES. LETTER FROM SIR HENRY ST, JOHN HALFORD— THE ORIGINAL CHALLENGE. The Centennial rifie matches, which are to be shot at Creedmoor during the 12th and 13th of next Septem- ber, will probably not be participated in by England, It is noteworthy that England is the first country named in the Sriginal resolution inviting the ditterent nations to compete, It is the general opinion among riflemen that Ireland and Scotland will send teams, and as they have been invited they will, of course, be ac- cepted, . ‘The following 1s the official letter of Sir Henry St. John Halford on the subject :— Wistox, "xar LricestER, ENGLAND, Feb, 14, 1876. | jan- Dear Sir—Your telegram to me of the 16th of uary, which was as follows:—‘'Any team you organize will be accepted—English, Seotch, Irish or mixed?’ — has unfortunately been misunderstood im this eguntry. It was addressed to me, at the National Rifle Associa- tion, and was read by me and the other members of our ‘council as meaning that your assocration invited, very liberally, to give to ours the option of sending either one or three teams, as they might decide, feel- ing sure that your wish Was to tnciude in the competi- tion a thoroughly representative british team pr tears, duly commissioned by the National Rifle Association of Great Britain to represent the country. But unfortu- nately the receipt of a separate notice of the thatch by Scotland and Ireland has led some peoplé there to understand that they were at liberty to get up inde- pendent teams and compete in the match. I under- stand that, tn fact, a rifle club in Svotland has already announced to you its intention of competing. I think it right that you should clearly understand that any sueh team, whether from Engiand, Ireland or Scotland, is in no way recognized by our association. 1 would suggest that you should, on the receipt of an acceptance by any team from the British Isles (and it is obvious that there is no limit to the number which might accept if independent action be recognized) in- quire whether they are acting under the authority of the National Rifle Association of Great Brita, whicn, as you were informed by cablé, has deputed to me the sole authority to act for them in the matter. Of course, if any other match or matches be organ- ized between America and teams ftom Ireland or Scot- land, it is @ matter which does not affect our eouncil, All | have said above reters only to the match for the champiouship of the world, in which Great Britain will be represented by one national team or not at all.

A rare treat was offered the aamirers of this pastime yesterday afternoon at McQuade’s court, No. 404 Madison street. It was the occasion of James Casey, of Brooklyn, and Barney McQuade, of New York, coming together in the second series of games arranged between them for $200 a side, The first series was played in the City of Churches a short time since, when the Gothamite was worsted, but the skill dis« playod by these experts was of that mature to make the present meeting anxiously looked for by all acquainted with the details of the contest. Hence the crowd which greeted the players yesterday, by far the largest and most respectable secn in any court in this vicinity for many months. It was arranged that five games | should be played, three to constitute the | victory. Mr, Cook was chosen umpire The first, game fell to MeQuade by the = rather one-sided score of 21 to 6, and those who had offered odds of two to one on the Brooklyn representative felt decidedly uncasy and desired to hedge, Casey “turned the tables”? on the champion of New York in the second game, winntn, it hag! 4 handsomely by the score of 21 to9 By this time the players had be- the enthusiasm of the spectators, commenced, contin. | ued and concluded the third gatne with great vim and | earnesiness. It resulted in McQuade’s favor by the score of 21 to 13, the seventh mning being especially | well played by him. The fourth and last game was | also particularly fine, both men using great judgment | 4 preserving their’ coolness to the end. "McQuade | ed the winning ace when Casey had but 14 to his credit, and this wound up the second series in favor of Now York, the score standing three toone. The re- sult was hailed with cheets on the part of McQuade's irienas. The last of the series will be decided on Tuesday next, at a court yet to be selected. Following the above, a four-handed match of three games was played between Messrs. Philip Casey and Martin Meagher, and Messrs. James Dunn and Richard Yownsend. It created considerable interest, as the men have excellent reputations for skill and judgment Townsend and Dunn carried off the honors, winning the second and third games. Before the handball players occupied the court, a four-handed racket match caused some interest among the carly lookers-on, This was between Messrs, ne) and Lenihan, and Messrs. Eggler and Neison. The first and secona were won by the former, scores 21 to 11, 21 to 16; and the third by the latter, score 21 to 17. SUMMARY.

It seemed as though they might escape the sacr ficial knife after all; but appearances were deceitful, ‘The upward ptirn was but a brlof and délusive repriéve, and Nemesis, in the shape of the butcher of Forty- seventh street, in ¢heek apron and sleeves, éventually brought the whole herd to the shambles, “butchered, to make an ursine holiday,” There was a good deal of a wabble in Western Uniow and Lake Shore at the send off. A considerable aridtnt of pendulum business was transactod at fractional va- riations, but as noon approached these stocks stiffened materially, and tended to decidedly highér figures, As Waris is France, s0 were these two stocks the mar- ket, and, with the exception of a little ebullition at one time in Pacific Mail, attention was confined to them. By one o’clock the active speculatives had advanced one per cent; by half-past one o’clock they had re codéd to their starting point. ‘There was “music in the air’’—the blended melody of lowing bulls and growling bears; but there was mor cheerfulness in the snarl of the latter than If the bel low ofthe former. Tho above set back in prices cas possibly be traced to the following causes, The Twenty-third street party secking to gét thts bank a portion of the profits on their short lines (which, until covered, were as much imaginary as real), early appeared as purchasers of Lake Shore and Westers Union. 7 This did not appear to suit thé book of Mr. Gould, who quickly made himself apparent as a seller of the telegraph stock, when Twenty-third street took tht hint and withdrew. The Osborn party at the samé time bore a hand in the scrimmage, and between thest two shoals of course the stock came tothe ground— such ground as is covered by a fall {rom 72}¢ to 70}g, By way of making things more pleasant to such of the ruminants, who, escaping slaughter to-day, will tepent in sackcloth and ashes to-morrow, the story wag started that the Executive Committee of Western Union had in meeting this morning decided to pass the approaching dividend. Like the two grains of wheat in the two bushels of chaff, there was just truth enough in the tale to base a lie upon ‘The trath appears to be that a sort of informal cau cus of the executive directors did get together to-day for the purpose of considering the proposition for # further reduction in rates, so that it might be offered in proper shape at the regulat meeting to-morrow. The result of thfs conference did not leak out, dit if. is highly improbable that the subject of dividend was touched upon at all, as Wednesday, the 8th of March, is the stated day for the consideration of thig matter. However this dividend business is settled, it appeart to concern thejbulls alone, for the bears have collected 4 whole year’s interest in the ten days’ decline of the shares. ‘ Lake Shore sympathized almost point for point with ‘Western Union, and this ananimity reminds one of the love passage between the maiden and Ingomar, the big Tajin:— ‘Two souls with but a single thought, ‘Two hearts that beat as one, or of the Siatuese twins, with an undivided Hverande duodenum on joint aecount, This congentality of fecling did not pervade the vis cera of bulls and bears in theif estimate of the value of the stocks, but they differed as widely as D#, Watts! quadrupeds in the poem, and their “growl and fight™ sent the price up at one time anda point down at another, and the finishing figure was midway betweem the best and worst quotations of the day. To help his drive atthe rest of the market Gould sént his broker in to sell down Pacific Mail, which had been slowly struggling up in the train of its friends and acquaintances, There appeared to be no particular reason for this move, save to addto the prostration of the general market. As respects the granger stocks nobody appeared willing to ‘go West’? for news, and none was wired East, hence they remained without special feature. Of the genoral list it may be said, after Sir Charles Coldstream’s “gag,” there was ‘nothing in it,” THE BALES TO-DAY.
