BERNARD RAPAPOKT, Hailroad Lines Abolikhlngr ComnilS" ions) East Hound Pawsenarer Itatea Not yet Settled The Eiigliuu Grain Marlict Slocks Dull but Wall Stiieet, Docombor 22. Tlio general passenger agents of the Trunk lino roads held a meeting in this city yesterday and decided to abolish commissions of every kind, aud also to havo no dealings hereafter with ticket brokers. This action is in accordance with the provisions of tho pooling contract agreed upon last month, and it is expected to secure uniformity In rates, cutting having heretofore boon covertly dono by allowing Irregular commissions to agents. If tlio brokors can bo deprived of tickets, another stop toward the maintenance of uniform rates will bo accomplished, but it is probablo that this class of speculators will manage in some way to got hold of tickets at prices which will onablo them to continue their business. Tho bound passenger agents met at Chicago yesterday to discuss tho $2i) rate to New York, tha failure to ndopt uniform tariff having resulted in tho non observanco of tho basing rato by Western connections.

Tho committee could not agroo aud resolution to adjourn subject to a call by the Chair was adopted. Tho differences may bo compromised, but until they are adjustod East bound passenger busiuesswill probably continue demoralized. Tho iA Lane tixprest, in Ha weekly roviow of the British grain trade, says that tho salea of homo grown wheat last week wero at 30 shillings 5 pence per quartor against SO shillings 10 pence for tho cor. responding week last year, tho former being th lowest of tho century. A despondent fooling prevails in tho market for foreign wheats, flour is dim.

cult to sell, and corn is weak, owing to tho Inforiot condition of tho American crop. Slocks were quiet and without special feature at tlio opening. Thoro was a fractional fall in tht early tratlo when Lako Shore, Pacific Moil, Lackawanna and SL Paul wore tho heaviest, but this was followed by a recovory and tho markot was dub although tho tone was gonorally steady until abol half past eleven, when the movemont becarr moro active, and with an upward londoncy.

DECEMBER 23, 1885. A BACK DOWN. Engineer Porter Doesn't Want to be Heard. He Withdraws His Plea for an Opportunity to Defend the Matlicsins (Jrip His Letters to Superintendent Martin. Inimeilirttely fitter the Into bridge accident, vrlion InvoiUions begun pouring Into tho Simda street ofUce, Chnrlos T.

Porter, a Now York mechanical cngineor, sont to each of tlio trustoos this appeal on bolialf of tho rojooted Mathesius Trip: To the Truster of the Sew Yorh and Ilmnklyn Ilridae Gkntlkmex About a yoar aco I engaged pro fesaionally ns a mochanii'nl export to make a critical examination of tlio Mathesius grip. I became very deeply impressed with Its remarkable superiority over any oilier device for gripping a canlo. Kn tlceiion since then has tleopenod my conviction of its excellence, and now that sad experience shows the necessity for tho very best form of grip for tho service required on tho briilgo I am glad of an opportunity to urge its claims upon you. Tho following facts came to my knowledge lu tlio courso of the inquiry I was employed to make: Two years ago this Full Mr. Matliolus was employed by Mr.

Kingrtlcy to design a grip for the bridge "lie did so. The grip was made after this design ami afler this had been experimented with and perfected by a slight change in the forms of its dies it was put. into service anil mado one hundred and fifty consecutive trips ovor the bridge, the ono grip on a number of these trips drawing two cars with llicir usual complement of passengers. On those trips it was found necessary to omploy only a part of tho power of the grip to draw tho two cars, showing tho possession of a great reserve of power. At the commencement of each trip this grip piclto'l up lis own cable without assistance of any kind.

It showed that it could not lose tho cablo, but when releasing Us Jaws were opened by a positive motion, by which the cable was freely ami surely dropped. It thus met every practical requirement, it worked without interruption ami in an entirely reliable manner and was operated by only one man. At tlie termination of the above service it was peremptorily rejected by Chief Engineer I undersiaiul Martin to ave assigned as his reason for this rejection that tho grip would wear tho cablo, nnd would bo dangerous through liability to bruuk a sirand of Ihe cablo. Hy Mr. Klngsley order the grip was delivered to Mr.

Matlieshis, and has since remainod in bis possession. It is now in the precise state in which it was taken from tho car, and is iu readiness for trial and use. An answer to tho presentation of tlioclaimsof this grip will, of courso, occur to each monibor of your lioanl th.it by my own showing this grip has been exiimiuotl and passnd upon hy your chiof engineer, and after a full trial has been rejected by him, and that he is the constituted Judge of all such cases. I'lidor ordinary circumstances no appeal could bo expected to lie from such a decision. But theso are not ordinary circumstances.

The 1'aine grip having slipped the cable nnd lost the cablo hundreds ot times, although strained to its utmost capacity, the chief engineer has been compelled to supplement it with an auxiliary grip having solid Jaws. These two grips aro now workod through one mechanism. This presents complicated makeshift arrangement. 'Ihe uso of it has been attended with two accidents recently, tho last a very serious one, from the cable slipping through this combined grip, tho different parts failing somewhere to perform their functions. A feeling of In securily exists.

It is vory generally felt that something must be done. Under those eircumstane.es, your Hoard is rospoeifully asked to entertain this appeal and to appoint a commission of experts, by whom it may bo triod. I do uot hesitate, as a mechanical engineer, to express the opinion that such a commission will learn with amazement that tho Mathesius grip was rejected after its trial. Its power and reliability ami facility of oporatiou are not questioned. The reasons assigned for its rejection are puroly imaginary.

Thoy havo absolutely no ex isioneo. Hut tho solid Jaws of tho auxiliary grip that has been added to the l'aino grip actually have the injurious and dangerous foaturos which we'rb, tvithont any foundation, attributed to the Mnthoslus'gt Tho latter seizes tho cable by dies, which move with tho precisely as the leather surfaces of tho Paine grip wheels Hut tho cablo must run through tho solid Jaws of Air. M. auxiliary grip, "while these aro being elosetl upon it. A commission such as here suggested, composed not of surveyors and bridgo buildors, but of practical mechanics as.

for example, of tho master mechanics of some of our leading lines of railway would undoubtedly givo to your Hoard information respecting this grip and others that may bo submitted to it, including the one now in use, ttiat will prevent tho occurrence of accidents and onablo tho facilities of tho bridgo to be properly developed. I respectfully ask the privilege of ooing hoard before your Hoard in support of this appeal Ciiaui.ks T. Poutkk, Engineer. Representing the owners of the Mathesius grip. Heforo tho petition could bo acted upon by tho trustees Mr.

Porter sent this lottor to Mr. Martin, withdrawing his requost and giving his roasons for eo doing: C. C. Martin, K.iq., Chief Hnginecr New York and Ilrook'ipi llE.Ml Slit In view of the fact, which I now lervrn for tho flr.it time, that tho cablo was oxcessivoly elongated by the uso of tho Mathesius grip and tho splice was Injured in passing through it, I havo con cluaed not to urge tho appeal from your decision respecting it. Very truly yours, Charles T.

Poktkh. This probably will settle tho quostion as far oa the trustees aro concerned, although Mr. Martin has yet to face a libel suit for J20.000 for alleged disparaging remarks relativo to Mr. Mathoslus' devico. KINOS C0U.NTY TAX SALES.

Tho Iteuult Very DincournirlnfT Co tho State Atitlioritiofia The result of tlie Kings County tnx Bale, which was concluded at Albany on Saturday, proves discouraging. Tho amount realized was less than which is much sniallor than was expected. The few speculators prosent wore very cautious in thoir purchases, and as a rulo bought sparingly and in small lots. Tho State was obliged to bid in by far the greater part of tho lands put up at auction. Thirteen thousand parcels wero disposod of at Saturday's sale.

The individual purchasos aggregated $5,050. The lots sold were located In Flat bush, Gravosond, Now Utrecht and Flatlands. Among the leading buyers were: Darius Allen, of Troy; ilrowu Wells, of Now York; Frank llehrens, of Flatbush; Phobe Church and Charles W. Church, of Flatbush; C'onnell, of Fort Hamilton; Michael E.

Tho last meeting but ono of tho present Board of Aldorman was held yesterday aftornoon and the Eagle last ovening contained a report of most of the proceedings.

Aid. Quintarrt's rcFolu Iution calling for tho repeal of tho Ifapld Transit Compensation act was unanimously adopted. This act provides that rapid transit commissions must estimato tho amount of pecuniary damage to property on streets on which it Is proposed to build steam railroads, and that companies must deposit with some trust company tho aggregate amount eo determined upon heforo thoy can enter upon said streets. Aid. Quintard, after offering tho resolution, said: About a hear ago I olTored a similar resolution, but it failod to pass unanimously.

Five members who voted against it afterward said they ha done so under a misappi'ehelision. but their action deprivod tlio voto of tho Hoard of tho effect it might havo otberwiso had. A bill to ropoat the law was introduced in tho last Legislature, but it was handled in a I was going to say, suspicious manner, hut I will not uso that word. It was cortainly handled In a manner which was not satisfactory to the earnest friends of the repeal of that acL It was complicated with a very far reaching measure which treated of other matters bosido this simple question of repeal. I believe if it is intrusted to proper hands this Winter a simple bill can bo drawn which need not comprise more than twelvo words, certainly not more than twelvo linos, exempting Kings County from tho operation of tho act.

As it stands tho act is simply a menaco to tho rapid transit companies which desiro to build, and it should bo removed at onco. It is simply a hindranco to rapid transit. On motion of Aid. McCarty, tlie Hoard directed that the public offices bo closed on Dueemuer 26, the day after Christmas. i A TRANSACTION IN STEAM PUMPS IZcauItiuc; in mr.

Proffer's Financial Los and Mr. Berrlej' Arrcuf. Patrick Begley, of 249 Jny street, went to Leopold Pfeffor, of 51 Yaret Btroot, eonio time ago and represented that thero wero two steam pumps at a placo in Now York which ho could obtain cheaply on instalments. Pfoffer advanced $5 aud agreed to accompany Begley to Now York. Whilo they wero crossing tho ferry Pfoffor gave Bogloy $4 more, and on their arrival in Now York ho handed him $59.

Tho place of appointmont was, it appears, tho Now York Post Oftico, and tho party who had the pumps was a Mr. M. Dady, ono of tho employes. At tho Post OlTlco Mr. liegloy, it is charged, left Mr.

Pfeffor outside, whilo he protended to go In and soo Mr. Dady. Koturninc a fow minutes later Begley told Pfeffor that ho had paid the mouoy and that it was all right. Begley then took tho earliost opportunity to oxcubo himself and got away. On going some timo afterward to see Mr.

Dady In tho New York Post Oflico Mr. Pfeffor learned to his astonishment that Begley had never paid him any mouoy and that the steam pumps had boon sold long ago. Ilcgloy was arrested on Sunday afternoon in tho First Precinct and was taken before Justice N'aeher. Tho Justice committed him. LOXG ISLAND METHODISM.

THE BltOOKLYN THEATEB. The oeuiug of the Brooklyn Theater under Its new management was impressively effected last evening. Whilo tho gathering of first nigliters Imvo noon considoralily grnater in ostein it conlti not readily havo been inijirovisl ujion in quality. And tho woleomini; rftitition of lan oger enterpriso limy riu'itfully bo recorded lis 'taving heon at onco gratifying, encouraging, rjrilliniu and faaliionablo. It wllh di on this occasion that Mr.

Miner has and lieauti fled tho Brooklyn in a thoroughly substantial and Dlcgaut mannor; that tho theater i.s now completely renovaksl and rodecorated, from tho sidewalk to tho rear wall, and from the dome to the floor. The prcsceu i um and sido walls of tho auditorium havo been tastefully done up iu crimson, silk plush ami gold, tvhiio the entire intoriorhas heen covered with crimson (lock artistically laid off in gold panels and cut in with heavy hoatled gold mmil ling. Tho same idea and design and the samo moulding ornament the ceilings of tho orchestra, lialoouy and family circles. The wainscoting and the door and window frames have been entirely done up in rich cherry liemled moulding and panelling. The massive iron columns supporting tho various circles havo been done gold.

Tho privnto boxes have been redecorated and reupliolstered with old gold satin and plush velvet curtains, with cords and tassels to match. The drapery borders and tormentor wings 'nave een finishod and tho work of repainting the entire stock of Ecenory is being pushed rapidly forward by Mr. YV. I). llughos and his assistants.

Mr. Hughes is well known an the chief scenic artist of liio Metropolitan Opera House, and has boon expressly engaged by Mr. Minor to mount the productions of the first elans stars already secured. Tho dressing rooms have nil been repainted, reenr pelet! and refurnishod, and will now compare favorably with any first class theater iu the world. Tho lobby has been refrescoed mid decorated with portraits of colobrities, while the iron columns leading to the gallers tho porto ooohoro and the entire front of the theator have been done in rich chaste bronzo.

The main lobby, the ai los, passageways, orchestra and balcony circles and private offices have boon covered with heavy Wilton velvet and Astniiistei' carpets. Tho improvements now but partially completed will cost the management fully $15,000, and in all probability a like sum was never more Judiciously expended on a theatrical properly in tho Vnited Stales. The performance, of "La Kuhso" last night elicited miile as much fervent approval as ihe elegance discovered in the rejuvenated theater. Miss Sophie Eyre, Mr. Mr.

Xewlon (Jottliold and tboirnssoolato players furnished an unfolding of Mr. Bolasco powerful drama of uiii O'linion interest find strength individually aid collectively. The pleco Is quite altogether too familiar to this public to require detailed comment, and the exertions of tho artists named will be best appreciated by Brooklyn theatergoers through a personal witnessing. A "La Jitisse" matinee representation is appointed for to morrow afternoon. MMI'LKS" AT THK In the title role of new comedy drama, written expressly for hor by Howard I'.

Taylor and entitled tlio petite and vivacious Ida Mullo delightod a large audience at the Grand Opera House Inst ovening. The opening scono of tho piny discloses little Dimples, tho winsomo daughter ol tho village black.smUu, as the hardest romper and tho most careless student at the sliriuo of tho rural pedagogue. Arthur Grayson, a kind beaitoti young villager, saves the youni: girl from many an imposition at tho hands of the tutor, and upon the departure of the blacksmith for the gold fields he becomes tho protector of the lonely maiden. Lovo creeps in on tho protector and the protected, and on tho return, onriehed, from the mines of the father the young villager seeks and securos tho hand of his charge in marriage, and a picture of happiness closes tho drama. Throughout the varying scenes of the play Miss Mnlle Hits here nnd thero like a ray of sunshine, the pet of the school children nnd tho plague of their teacher.

Tho little lady slugs a number of pongs in the courso of tho play, her voice being of great Btrengtli and sweetness, and evidencing decided culture An artistic rendition of the character of Arthur Grayson, by Mr. S. S. Block, was given, tho love scenes between the young villager and his sweetheart being entertaining and Instructive, Gideon t'nrlylo and Allan Grayson were fairly acted by Messrs. Julius Kahn and Tim Hurst respectively.

Bud Mr. Xorman CampDoll gave a good rendition of the part of Nwitcuott, the schoolmaster. Mr. J. Met'ullough Ross as Frank Winton considerably marred what otherwise might have been a fair portrayal by a seemingly uncontrollable impulse to continually crowd his finger ends into his mouth.

As Dally Dot, a Bimplo schoolboy and spoiled child, Sir. Edward Gardio's representation was brimful of fun, and as a companion piece Madge lienie Wellington) shared in all the tricks calculated to rend tho heart of a pedagogue. The scenery employed in the production was fully up to tho standard at this house. A 'Dimples'' nialineo will bo given hero to morrow afternoon. l'AUK "THE SKATlMi lll.NK." The mass of people which crowded tho 3'nrk Theater last night screamed with laughter for nearly three hours; affording thereby the best possible evidence "that the design of "The Skating Itlnk" the farcical comedy which then had its first representation on this stage has been unequivocally accomplished.

Before this product of the fertile imagination of Mr. Robert Griffin Morris, illuminated by the talent and genius of Mr. Nat Goodwin, all preceding so called farcical comedies pale into insiguitlcanco. "The Skating Rink" bears only the faintest suspicion to a play; it cannot be called a burlesque; it Is neither comedy nor farce, nor yet is it an extravaganza. It is, in short, tho wildest possible combination of fun, frolic, humor, wit and mirth, and stircastic dings at the fash onuble follies and foil ties and crazo uf tho day.

Mr. Morris has struggled long and iudofnti gably to catch the public taste; and ho has at length gained the reward of his industry and persistence. He has provided Mr. Goodwin not only with a most amusing vehicle for the exploiting of his peculiar qualities as a conie diau and mimic, hut with piece, wilhnl, whose money making qualities are far beyond the average. If tho I'ark does not prove, from to night out, altogether too small to accommodate the throngs which will flock to witness this quaint and clover conceit, then there is no value in signs and indications.

"Tho Skatiug Rink" is impossible of description; it must be seen to bo appreciated. So many and so varied aro its amusing and laughter provoking characteristics that they defy tabulation. Jt may profitably bo mentioned, however, that it engages in its presentation tho sotting forth of a series of specialty performances of superior quality, and that Mr. Goodwin is given an opportunity to introduce his inimitable imitations of proni inont actors. There is not a single dull moment in The Skating Rink," and not an uninteresting performor on the stage.

Gould more bo asked See Mr. Morris' play at tho I'ark, and he personally satisfied on these points. CRITERION THE The Criterion Theater was crowded by a fashionable audience last evening on the occasion of the first presentation hero of "Tho Mikado by the Templeton company of artists. Taken for all in nil. 110 better nor more popular performance of the Gilbert Sullivan operetta has been given oil this stage.

Handsome costumes, elaborate scenery nod a well balanced group of performers contribute to this result. Tho discrepancies in tho representation wero cheerfully ed over by the auditors and applause was bestowed with enthusiastic vigor at every opportunity, if not always with discrimination. Miss Lucille Meredith Yum Yum wa3 weak, vocally and in acting ability, the honors of the evening being carried off by Miss lia'tie Starr, whose I'itti Sing was the feature of the performance, as it was when virtually this same company appeared at the Grand Opera House early iu tho present season. Mr. William 11.

Seymour made nn effective Ko Ko, barring a tendency to unmercifully "gag the part, and the l'ooh Rah of Mr. George Urodoriek and the Mikado of Mr. Charles Harris were unusually good. The chorus frequently betrayed a disposition to sing oif tile key, but it compensated in action for its oftentimes 1, of tonality, 'i he claque was noisy and impetuous, encores being demanded for everything, although iu several instances the good sense of ihe more intelligent and discriminating hearers was manih ted inaudible hisses. The has evi.l.

ntly entered upon a slicnesslul career at the criterion. The work will hold the stage here throughout tho current week, tvith matinees to morrow and Friday and Saturday afternoon. LEK OFF." Mr. Arthur lihean's company of artists brought out Augustiu Daly's captivating comedy "A Night Off'' before a largo and admirably Pleased audionco at tho Loo avenue Opera House last night The company has the exclusive right to present tho Daly comedies in tho United States Btid tho It3 members aro selected not Without the advice of Mr. Daly Ulmeolf, and tho I was essayfd by Mr.

Tho star was ably supported by Miss Evelyn Knnpp and tho members of Johnson's dramatic company. Tho play will hold forth for the remainder of the week, with the usual Wednesday and Saturday and extra Christinas matinees. FA EST" AT THE ACADEMY.
