TRUCKMEN WAR ON TROLLEY MEN, Daily ‘Encounters in Narrow Eighth Street, Where Metro- politan Road Tracks Impede the Busy Traffic. The Metropolitan Street Railway Com- pany employees and. the truck drivers on Eighth street are having daily en- counters due to the narrowness of the atreet. f When the company lald their double track line through Eighth, street,’ there was a cry from all the property owners that the thoroughfare was too narrow to permit of two tracks. The work went serenely on and the line was apened about a month ago. Since that time there has been wordy war which on occasion has led to blows between conductors and motormen and drivers of blg wagons which crowd that street, The street is so narrow that if a truck fs not drawn up so that its wheels touch the curb, it.renders it im- possible for a car to pass. The trolley employees are as loud in thelr protests against having two tracks on the street as the drivers of Vehicles. They say that in the old horse car times that sort of car could be hauled around the impediment. ‘A number of valuable horses have been injured by the carelessness of the motor- men and there are rumors of numerous sults against the company.

Appropriate ceremonies marked the opening of what will be the final ses- sion of the General Term of the City Court in the old brownstone court- house on Chambers street to-day. Ad- dresses were made by Max Altmayor and Max Steurer on behalf of the law- yers, while Justice J. Henry McCarthy, who is presiding with Justices Conlan and Seabury, responded on behalf of the Court. Under an act of the Legislature the General Term of the City Court has been done away with and the present session will be its last. With a calen- | dar of 135 cases before it, the session | will probably last throughout the wee, and in order to clean up the business ot the term the Judges presiding will not hold trial courts during October, but will consider the appeals submitted at the present General Term. $0 75 $18 Cravenette and Rain Overcoat for . ) SI] 75 $20 and $22 Cravenette and Rain Overcoat for . e sd 4 50 $25 and $28 Cravenette and Rain Overcoat for e The Only Coat for Automibiling, Driving or Tray- elling—Rain or Snow—as well as Street Wear. Ciiting(o WON BATTLE WITH CATS Doughty Little Police- man Broke Up a Fierce Row in Bee- thoven Dance Hall, Beaten until his face was discolored and one eye closed, his untform torn into rags and his helmet gone, Police man Gertenbach dragged two of a score of men who had assaulted him in a dance hall into the East Fifth street pollee station this morning. His pris- oners welghed nearly four times as much as he does. He had the consolation, however, that his prisoners appeared as badly used up as himself. Neither one of them could see, and the bigger one had a great gash across his scalp. Gertenbach had been called to Beethoven Hall, No. 20 East Fifth street, to stop a row: In the hall he found twenty men, all fighting flercely, The alr was filled with flying beer- glasses. sy Gertenbach, who ts small of stature, selected the biggest of the belligerents, Claus H. Luhrs, a truckman, of No. 108 Gansevoort street. The man weighs 300 pounds and is not fat. Gertenbach was pulling Luhrs out of the fight when he was attacked by Henry Lohman, of No, M South street, whose weight is more than 200 pdunds, As he tried to defend himself from Lohman, Luhrs grabbed him from be- hind and pinioned his arms back of him, Then the original fight was forgotten and it was everybody on the policeman, His helmet was knocked from his head, his shield torn off and a section of his coat ripped off. Struggiing, ho got away from Luhrs and regained his night ciub, Thon he waded into the crowd and the first blow fell on Luhrs's head, laying the scalp open and knocking him un- conscious. The next blow felled Loh- man. Then the doughty little policeman, not waiting to pick up the fragments of his tattered uniform, grabbed both Luhrs and Lohman by thelr collars and dragged them to the police station, three blocks away.
