took passage on the defendants line OF railroad from
Albany to New York. On the route he purchased a
newspaper at Poughkeepsie. Mr. Monroe sues for
$4,000 damages and alleges that he was engaged in

the train rushed along; also that he thought at the
lime, as they were approaching the tunnel that the
arm was in danger.
In summing up counsel for the plaintiff contended
that had the arm and hand been In the position de-
scribed by the brakeman the hand, wrist, or ex-

largely composed OF lockers on interested more from

streets, known the Florence Hotel property being
portion Of the estate OF the late Daniel Devlin
which was announced to be held yesterday
failed for some reason, the property being
Withdrawn after a few lots only had been
knocked down, which lots it was subsequently
learned had not been sold. With the close OF the
season prices have generally retrOgraded and with
this additional evidence OF that 10 sellers unpleasant
fact 1t Is not probable very much more property will
be brought into the market this year for mere specu-
lative intent. large sale OF Brooklyn lots, how
ever, was had yesterday by Johnson Miller In tins

value OF lots there to up town in New York Will pro-
