How a Deficiency is to be Made Up. Another Ifcw If oris Move Against the Bridge. The Queens County Board of Supervisors met at Long City yesterday. John C. Provost, representing the men doing business both sides of Newtown Creek, asked the Board to provido a temporary reading for teams across the creek as well as for foot passengers, during the time that the' new draw bridgo was being erected.

The contractors are bound to afford a means of crossing to foot passongers, but not for vehicles, and tho Board 'did not feel like interfering with TELEGRAMS. were a bolt The motive power is aappwed to be a stationary engine at one end. Tho car not attachod to the rope, but upon one end of tha car truck aro two groOTCd sheaves or pulleye, revolving horizontally. Tho rope passes between them In the groove upon tlieir surface, and the wheels are so arranged that by turniDg tho brake upon tho car platform the grasp of tho pul loya npon the rope can be tightened or loosonod at tho pleasure of the conductor of the car. The endless wire rope may bo run at as high a rate of speed aa may be desired or aa is poealble, but tho speed of tho ear In gauged at tho pleasure of the conductor by the tightness or leweeuesa of tho grasp of tho horizontal pulloys upon the rope as It passes between them.

If he doairos to go at tho full speed of the ropo the brake Is tightened upon it, and tho car whizzed along at tho top rate of speed. If it Is deaired to go a llttlo slower tho grasp of the brako upon tho rope Is lessoned, and the friction being less the rope slips through somewhat and does not propel the car at Its full rate of speed, and by throwing oft too brako altogether tho car is stopped, and by the movement of a supplementary brako the ropo can bo dropped entirely from between tho wheels. This lnvontiou has been nBod with considerable BUOcesB upon tbe "rtrwit cars of San' Francisco, wliere it Is usod upon four of the Btreet railroads of that city.

There were three dancing entertaiiiriiGnte last night in tho Sixteenth Ward attended almost exclusively by Germans. At each there was a fair attendance and a plenty of solid enjoyment on the part of tho participants.

Boebo, and members of Ills staff; Colonel Henry Olassor, of tho Second Division staff Major; Farr, Colouol Kueger and numerous officers of the Thirty second Regiment; Major John Tlmmes, Captain Edwards, of the Gatllng Battery Captaius William Kohlmelor and J.

A case of greatlrlterest to peoplo interested in sMps has heen decided Courts Tho action was commenced In 1878 in the uXdStTs Circuit Court by John OherttMa against Nicholas J.

Abramovic, Dominic Smerknlc and Frandsoo Franasovic. The suit was brought for an injunction to restrain the dofendanta from infringing a patent ownod by the plaintiffs, and to recover damages for such infringement. The patent was for a device known as ballast logs, and Is used upon seagoing vessols for ballasting vassals in port. Tho patent was granted May 21, 1872. It consists in using logs of a peculiar construction on tho outside of a vessel's hull.

It is claimed to be a labor and money saving invention which obviates the necessity for loading and unloading ballast from the hold of tha vessel when In port. The case came up before Judge Benedict, and was argued by Beebo, Wilcox Hobbs, for the plaintiff, and Chese Beston, for the defense, on Monday of last week. His Honor took tho papers, and yesterday afternoon filed his decree. The defense claimed the patent was not a valid ono, and tho Court finds that the patent Issued upon the dato above mentioned and numbered 128,338, was a good and valid patent. He also finds that the plaintiffs wero tha original Inventors and fliscovarore of this device for The (reneral Nevs of" tlie 13 ay.

The Legislature to be Petitioned to Authorize the Construction of an Elevated or Depressed Boad from Flatbush Avenue to South Ferry. At a recent meeting of tho Directors of tho Atlantic Avenuo Railroad Company of Brooklyn, Presi' dent Richardson presented his annual report. The following extract from the roport, and tha action of tho Directors thereon, aro of interest to tho public Tho suite which I reported last yoar as having been commenced agaiiiBt this company and the Long Island ltnllrniul llimiMiiv ni uHll In nrnffrow In their rCfirteC the contractors, as thoy wero now behind In commencing the work. Mr. Provost said it would cost but little, as pontoons oonld probably bo had for nothing, and only tho lumbor would have to bo bought.

Tho Board thought that the peoplo to bo benefited should bear tho expense. It was finally determined to have a joint meeting of the committees of Kings and Queens Supervisors to morrow at tho Brooklyn Court House, to detormino the matter. The Treasurer of the county presented his report on hand and invested for tbe Widows' and Orphans' Fund. In three foreclosure suits the fund lost $11,928.21, as follows: Jacob Glvens, mortgago, Isaac Mitchell, mortgage, Thomas Forman, mortgage, $1,250.83. Several mortgages are now in process of lore closure.

Senator Oakley was instructed to have the county exempted from the provisions of the County Treasurer's act relative to the dopoBiting of moneys in the local Invaded by Four Supposed Kighwaymea. JIow the Presence or Mr. Grady, tho Diamond Broker, Cuused Them to Beat a Hasty Ectreat. An incident of an exciting character, and which had the offect of throwing the passengers InU terrible state of alarm, occurred a few minute afUr 12 o'clock this morning, when tho last car from FlatbiKh was passing tho reservoir, opposite I'rosiioct l'rk. oa its way to the ferry.

In addition to Robert Haywood, tlio conductor and tho driver, there were tour passengers, three of whom wero ladles, tho fourth boing Mr. John Grady, the well known diamond broker. Mr. Grady had been at Flatbush collecting a bill, and had been delayod there for a conplo of hours later than he expected. He had In his powilon, as usual, llttlo black satchel, containing watehoa and jewelry to Uie valuo of sovoral thousand dollaas, and lu addition had largo amount of money and many precious diamonds of tho first water In his pockets.

Ab boou as ho boardoJ the car he placed the satchel carelessly undor ono of th scats, opposite which the ladlns wore sitting, and then wout to the back platform, whore he rmaluod In conversation with the conductor. There are few men who would take such rifks an Mr. Grady, but too llttlo diamond broker knows no such word as foar, and lu spite of tho lonely journey before him and the possibility ot tive courts, and still Involve In tho various forms which legal ingenuity can present the rights of both compa The Salaries of the Higher Priced Teachers to be Eeduced No Increase of Pay to Accompany Promotions. The employes of the Board of Education, including, of course, the teachers in the schools throughout the oity, have been waiting with much anxiety to see what action would be taken by the Board with a view of meeting the deficiency now oxlstlng. It amounts to $17,323.80 and was the subject of.

discussion at the last meeting of tbe Board, when tho matter was referred to tho Salaries' and Teachers' committees. They held several meetings, their discussions being prolonged and executive. As Is well known, the lower grade teachers aro in receipt of salaries already email enough to bear little or no reduction, and they determined that they should not be Included among those whose revenues shall bo curtailed to meet the emergency. The report reproduced below Is to be submitted at the meeting of the Board this afternoon As will bo seen, a reduction of expenses is also provided for by providing that when a teacher Is appointed to a bigher grade, NO INCREASE OF SALABF shall follow tho promotion. Among those who are Included among the high priced teachers are, of course, the principals, and it is altogether Ukely that their salaries will be cut down to the extent of three or tour hundred dollars each.
