Mmued, and they were so flied. Jt may ve stated that the grounds on which the Ninth Avenue Company seek not only torestrain improvements on the Elevated road, but also to stop the use of the dummy engines thereon, are that the charter does not war- rant the use of such engines; that the runnin of the road impedes pubhe travel on the street, im- pedes travel on the plamtiiMs cars, ond frightens, de- moralizes and sickens the car hors The defendant on its side asserts its Jawlsal 4 to the use of the engines; asserts that its road is a great public con- venience, and that it is not piaintif’s horses that are sickenel by defendant's engines, but plaintiff's Qances that have become eickened by defendant's substance of defendants Juccessful competition Ufidavits are given be president of the New York during the pa: Milton Courtr Elevated Railroad Cou months, in addition oth r proceedit deen in ainst the cow nstant servic most ¢ ontractor or director of or in conn public works for over forty years, mostly in the con- struction aud management of raulways, and for a loug time hus been a director of several tant’ railway companies; that for the eighteen montis he has, devoted himself most exclusively to the management, — supe intendence and business of the defendant's railway in said that he passes over its road almost daily, and knows and is familiar with the property along the line of tts route trom the Battory to Fifty-ninta street, and that the same 1s not diminished in value or injuri- ously affected by the construction or running of the defendunt’s road, but, on the contrary along the line of the rowd 1s, in his judgment, tn In.value, on account of the greater facilities for tr supplied by the defendant's road; now runs some sixty trains dail Battery and Filty-ninth street, carrying be- tween 6,C00 and 7,000 rs daily; in order to run the sa ing only o wack), 1 i8 indispensable thar turnouts, sidings and witches should be structed and maintaimed to allow Wralus to puss and repa vervals of about twenty minutes, and that it were a sufficient Lumber of turnouts, sidings twitches constructed along the line ot the road trains might be run at intervals of ten minutes, and thereby better accommodate the travelling public; that it 1s Recessary that the turnouts or sidings mentioned in the complaint in this action shouid be constructed for the use of the det wi, and the same are au. thorized by law and have been duly approved by tho Commissioners; t ance trom the surface Toad car Windows to the defendant's columns 13 such that they cannot endanger the life or limbs of the passengers in plainti(?s cars; that defendant las ex- pended large sums ot money ‘in und about the prepar- ing for and constructing and operating of the said ele- vated railroad amounting to not less than $2,000, 000.

Stephen Pell, also unconneeted wi:h the road and a property owner on Ninth avenue, near Fitheth street, and also in Horatio street, swears that bis property referred to bis improved im’ value by reason of the running of the Elevated road; tuat sich road has been of great service in contributing to the butiding up and improving of the Ninth avenue and has increased the value of prop- erty along its route; that no tenant has abandoned a house on tne line of such road or complained thereof, nor bas there been any reduction of rents, and that ho considers tho road # great public beneiit, the upper partot Ninth avenue and the streetsdying adjacent thereto becoming more rapidly populated thereby.

Daniel Mahoney, a property owger on Ninth avenue fo: the past twenty yeurs, Swears the Klevated road passes lis houses, Which’ are occupied as dwellings; that he prefers the present dummy engine to the former cable and smoke stacks and thundering noise, which frightened both horses and men; that the dum: mies now used pass So Hoiselessly as to be frequentiy unobserved by him, even when he is outside bis prem- ises; that the running disturbs neither the tranquillity of lis horees or his own sleep, nor bus it ever al- fected the Ninth avenue suriace road horses tw his knowledge; that it has increased the value of Ninth avenue property, and although there are some vacant houses there us’ eisewhure in the city none of them have become vacant because of the road, Ed ward Bootes, a carpenter, of No. 7 Morris street, swears that many years ago he bought property in Westchester county, intending to make a permanent ence there, but by reason of the delay in getting | | | alrowdy | years, } 6 r i impor- | cl the to the steam cars going into West- ter county he waa obliged to abandon that plan thro | and compelled to go to Jersey City for a residence, the property | reased [ ment last | whore he now lives with bis family; that during the past five Years he has bad a good “opportunity to ob rye the effect and intinence of the buil of the Elevated Railroad, the operating of the same and the running of cars’and cngines thereon; that the road has been mereased in strength and durability in the old parts thereof and substantially constructed in the newer portions; thut the w, nid has induced travel on its route, whych year to. year; that he has scen thousands of horses ihe Ime of the saul street aud avenue during U and, with ‘few exceptions, they have traversed street and avenue quielly, without excite- or iright resulting trom’ the running of fondaut’s trains; that he has especially observed the horses used on the Ninth avenue road, aud he never sadily increased from on su that the defendant | sav a runaway of horses attached to their cars, nor do ch way, betweeu the | ib hibit evidences of terror or fright or become | unmanageable, but, on the contrary, they travel along that | as if such trains were not near them. | how | felt in the result of the trial, dant’s train as unconcerned He further says that the operating of defendant's read in no way inter- fores with the working of either plamtifi’s rong, cars or horses. nor does it impede travel or the beneticial use of the street und avenue by the public at large, and that it is not only not a nuisance, bu eat public benetit, Wilham B.

It is a matter of astonishment that the Corporation Attorney bas not pushed the suits of the city against the street car companies to recover over half a million dollars in which they are in defaalt for license fecs. Saits were orderea to be commenced py the Comptrol- ler early im tho year, and they were entered in tho courts, The H&RALp soveral months ago published a list of these defaulting railroad companirs, with the in- debtedness of each company. The only horse raliroad company in the city that has attempted to comply with the law is the Sixth avenue line, and this com- pany has this year taken out its license as tho jaw requires, and paid for itin advance. A search of the city bureaus and inquiries in the courts fail to find that the authorities are pressing the suits against the defaulting companies, an ogee the taxpayers ‘tof this $500,000 unless tho Council ot Political rm make the subject one of their Qzhts in the interest of a faithfol collection of the revenue. The following are the amouats paid into the city by the various railroud companies during the year. These sums are in addiiton to the amounts due Toads {or licenses: — Avenue C line, annual rent... «+ $1,000 00 Second Avenue (Astor place extension), one- third of ono per cent gross receipts........ 2,600 48 Dry Dock ond East Broadway and Battery Railroad Company, five per cent on net PONIPLE LT. s Lascasesi Decsiecs scousesbiese | S00 Me South Ferry Railroad Company, uross receipts "469 33 Christopher Street and Tenth Street Ratlroad Company, three per cent groes receipts.... 2,743 65 Central Cross Town, three per cent gross re- ceipts..... eceT acasstate = 2,249 38 New York Elevated Railroad Company. five per cent net receipts... +... eeseee + 262 84 Total pald i.....ccsseseeseeeeeees coe ceee $11,688 90 It will be noted that a number of the companies havo not even paid the percentage on their receipts that the law compels them to pay into the city treasury, NYACK’S STRUGGLE. The citizens of Nyack have been agitated for some time over Village matters, Early in tho spring a peti- tion embracing the names of a large number of electors ‘was presented to the Board of Trustees calling for a special election under the general law relating to incor- porated villages to vote upon the proposition of abolishing the incorporation, The trustees de- clined to call an election, whereupon a mandamus was applied for and an order granted by Judge Barnard, of Poughkeepsie, directing the tras tees to show cause why an election should pot be heid. ‘The case was argued at Poughkeepsio, by Mr. Chnton MeAdam for the petitioners and Mr. C. P. Hoffman for the trustees, and in due time Judge Barnara ordered a peremptory mandamus directed to the trustees, Fear- ipg the penalies of contempt for retnsal to comply with the manda of the Court, an ciection was ascccrdingly called; but before ‘the day arrived an injuncton was — obtained from Jaage Dykman at White Pians, upon the aff. davit of David J. Blauvelt, who bas made the most strenuous opposition to the eflorts of a largo majority of tue citizens of Nyack to obtain a vote upon the pro- posed question. The motion for the mjunction was subsequently argued at White Plains by the same coun- sel, and the Judge reserved his decision unth a few days ago, when the moticn for an injanction was dismissed, Meantime an effort wos made to pro- cure the parsage of a bill throngh the last Legisiature to cut the village of Nyack off from the operation of the present law, so that the people could not have the right to vote an oppreasive incorporation out of ex. istence, The project faile!, however, and the iniquitous bill died in the House, having previously passed the Senate. Pending the injunetion granted by Judge Dykman, the voters of Nyack went through the form of an election to test the sense of the people upon the qrestion at issue, and ‘only one negative vote was cast, out of 300 in favor of abolition. The law will probably now have free course, recourse to injunctions having been exhausted, and the probability 18 that the expensive luxury of incorpora- tion as realized by the Nyackers will be totally giver up. WHITE WHALES. HOW THEY WERE CAPTURED AND BrovGAT To NEW YORE. The steamship Elenora, from Portiand, which arrived at this port early yesterday morning, had, m addition to her ordinary cargo, two immense packing cuses moasuring about thirty feet These cases contained specimens of the ‘Beluga’? or white whale, the very existence of which even that eminent authority Her- man Melville has denied in his “Moby Dick, or the Search tor the Whito Whale,” They were consigned to Mr. Coup of this city. A reporter of the Herxafo witnessed the disembarka- tion of the new arrivals, whose ingenious capture has al- Teady been described in these columns, The whales seemed to get through the journey in a style, and when janded were in good condition. hey Were at once removed to their permanent quar- ters, beg) most unfortunate accident occurred, re- sulting in the death of the ap specimen, Owing to the care! ‘sot some of the workmen some sharp iron edges bad been left ex] the whales were put out of th in the tank.

Acting on a warrant issued by Justice Morgan, of the Essex Market Police Court, (Officer Bloodgood, of the court squad, yesterday arrested Mary Robertson, of ‘No, Suffolk street, and her daughter, Lizzic Brani- gan, for brutally treating Annie McBride, aged six yeara, @ niece of Mra, Robertson, The case was brought to the attention of Justice Morgan by Mr. Alexander 7, Gerner, agent of the Society for the Prevention of Crueliy to Children, Mr. Gerner informed Judge Morgan that on Monday Sebas- tian Braun, a young German, residing on the first floor of the rear house No. 61 Suffolk street, called at the office of the society and stated that the child was being continually beaten by the prisoners, who live on the upper floor of the house. Mr. Gerner at once called at the place and began to make inquiries among the neigbors, when he found that tne infor! furnished by Mr. Braun was correct. He en tered rooms occupied by the prisoners, ana found the woman Branigan there, with tpe ebild, » beautiful little girl, with tair hair, bine eyes and pleas. ing features. One of the child’s eyes was almost com- pletely sens and her bady and limbs were covered with "brut and scars, resulting fro. beatings re- ceived at the nands of her inhuman reiatives. At frst the child refused to say anything in referenco to the treat- ment she received, but on Mr. Gerner ordering the wor mon Branigan to jeave the room, the little girl told the whole story of her wretched life. She hited ap the carpet and showed Mr. Gerner a hole in the floor which the woman Branigan bad cut with an axe. Sho said that Mrs. Branigan told her if she did not say she fell into the holo and so received her injuries she would kill her. The tittle child stated that both her aunt and cousin struck her with logs of wood, chair legs, the stove poker, or whatever weapon was near to their hands. The woman Branigan ndmitted to Mr. Gerner that the child’s statement was true, and begged him not to proceed agaist her. When Oflicer Bloodgood went to the house to arrest the women he found their rooms in a most filthy condition and unfit for buman habitation. Mrs. Robertson is a washerwoman, an her daughter claims to follow the sume calling. the prisoners being arraigned before Justice Morgan errant afternoon they were committed for trial The ittle girl was, by order of the Court, given into the care of Matron Webb, of Police Headquarters, RAILWAY REDUCTION. / A reduction of about twenty-five per cont has been made in the passenger rates to and from the West on all the rajlroads.

The office was opened at nine o'clock in the morning, and the tollers continued paying out till nine o’clock at night, Though the tact of the intended payment was advertised the number of persons applying up to six o'clock m the afternoon was cotmpuratively small.

ST. MARY'S LIBRARY ASSOCIATION, Thore was a dramatic and musical entertainment given under the auspices of the above ascociation at St. Mary’s Institute, corner of Madison and Clinton streets, in this city, last evening, which brought to. gether a large and appreciative audience, Tho per- formance consisted of several negro sketches, by Mr. Gus Welch and members of the association, which were loudly encored and were considerably above the level of amateurs, One of the leading features of the entertamment was the quartet and solo singing by the Orpheus Quartet, of Brooklyn, consisting of Mr. De- bie first tenor; Mr. Dale, second tenor; Mr. Van jouten, first bass, and Mr. Hyman, second bass.
