\AFTER THE TROLLEY, *Beailroad Commission Touch Up Brooklyn Maguates. They Are Much Too Busy to Re: the Annual Reports. Citizens Complain of High Rate of Speed and Accidents, State Railroad Commissioners 8. A. Beardsley, Alfred C. Chapin and Michael Rickard met in Judge Neu's court-room in the City Hall, Brooklyn, this after- noon, to inquire into the causes of so large a number of trolley accidents in Brooklyn. President Daniel F. Lewis and Secre- tary Bogardus appeared for the Brook- lyn Heights Railroad, President Ben- jamin Norton for the Atlantic Avenue Railroad, and Co:. J. N. Partridge, Presi- Gent of the Brooklyn and Newtown Kall- road: Mr. Beardsley said: ‘Because of the numerous deaths and accidents in Brooklyn reported to us, we have met to-day to see if we can't do something to remedy the matter in the futur Col, William Hemstreet presented typewritten document of considerable length. He said he represented 300 pe- titloners, who objected to the reckless manner in which the Ajlantic Avenue Railroad ran its cars. He declared that the Company referred to ran cars eigh- teen miles an hour, and that thirteen ur fourteen miles was the average between Streets at night. He had timed them with @ stop-watch, Col. Hematreet declared there was no real gain to tho Company by this peed, as they only gained six minutes in actual time on the entire route over horse cars. He complained of the large piles of snow along the tracks, and held that even at the stations along the route ie snow was not cleared away. He al- leged that the cars were not cleaned as they shou.d be. He suggested that the only remedy was a local railroad commission, whose duty should be to make the rallroad companies obey the law. . President Beardsley, of the Board, ‘asked the railroad presidents how the suggestions made by the Board last year had been complied with. ‘The Presidents declared that they had never seen the recommendations, but believed, nevertheless, that they had lived up to the law. Mr. Beardsley said the suggestions had been printed in the annual report of the Commission. President Lewis said that he had been too busy to read the report, although he did not doubt it was an interesting one. In regard to the question of speed, | the presidents sald that their rules in regard to momentum prohibited thelr Motormen from runing faster than ten miles an hour. ‘They declared that in most cases, the eed was under nine miles. All’ the residents except Mr. Lewis, said that they refused to allow people'to ride on the front platform. President Norton, of the Atlantle Avenue Railroad Company, sald, as yet, it had been impossible to find’ a good fender. He had been looking for over a year, but couldn't tind one ‘When asked by Mr. Beardsley. what was the cause of so many accidents, Mr. orton said it was because the motor- men don't obey the rules of the Co pany. He declared the only remedy w @ rigid discipline, Mr. Morton said further that it was the rule of his Company to discharge every motorman who has a fatal accl- dent occurring In his car. President Lewis declared that In 1894 there had been only ten fatal accidents on the Brooklyn City Rallroad, while in 1891, under the horse-car system, there had been seven. Mr. Lewis declared that it was a mis- take {0 close up the entrances to the car towards the other track, because more people were killed going behind the car than on alighting on the pave- ment side. Secretary Bogardus, of the Brookly City Ratiroad, said’ that the fen now in use by the Company was the best that could be found. President Beardsley asked him if he had ever heard of the fender in use on the Third avenue cable line in New York. He said he had, but didn’t know any- thing about it. Mr. Beardsley said that no noe had been’ killed on the Third avenue line since this fender had been introduced. ——s: WILL MR. LEWIS STEP OUT? Rumor Says the Trolley King W Give Way to Some One Elne, ‘There is a rumor in Brooklyn late this afternoon that at the annual meet- ing to-morrow of the Board of Directors of the Brooklyn Heights Railroad a new man would be elected to succeed Presi- dent Daniel F. Lewts. The rumor could not be confirmed. IS S CLUBBED Police, However, Declare Young Me- Cormick Was Drank.
