ARRIVAL OF THE YEARIINGs.
The Largest Consignment of Young
T-horoughbreds Safely Housed.

The Largest Consignment of Young
-Thoroughbreds Safely Housed.
Two hundred yearlings consigned to
William Easton, at Hunts Point, New
York city, arrived safely in this city this
morning. All were in good health and
were transferred from the Adams Express
office at the Pennsylvania Railroad to
floats, and thence to Harlem, from where
Hunt Point is but a short ride of o mile
and q half.
The lot consigned are the Elmendorf
and McGrathiana yearlingS, the entire
produce of both studs for 1888, with a few
others. All are well bred, their pedigrees
showing the best strains OF blood recorded
in the Stud Book, while many are rela-
tives of famous performers.
HuntsPoint is more like a thoroughbred
farm than a sales stable. 1t consists of
ten acres Of land, on which is built stable
room for 1876 horses, a large building for
selling purposes, u hospital n a level
pasturage on which the yearlings can
walk and enjoy the rich green grass sur
rounding them.
The stables are built ON the most APP
proved principles, every one light and
airy, with half doors, so that the young
STEERS can poke their noses out and sniff
the healthful breezes.
The sale will take place on Tuesday
next, and will be the initial one at Hunts
Point. One of the features of the place is
that now gentlemen who have an ambi-
ton to own a yearling have a place where
he can be kept, arrangements having been
made that yearlings can live at Hunts
Point. where they will be mo1thed, broke
md enjoy every attention.

HISARM ON THE FATAL WIRE.


John Maroncy Meets Death by Elec-
tricity In the Hudson River Tunnel.
John Maroney, q young Irishman who
came to this country about Il year ago
and whose life seems shrouded in mys
terry, was killed last night in the Hudson
River Tunnel, at the foot of Fourteenth
street, by q shock from electric wire
fastened to the sides of the shaft.
The accident occurred just this side of
the first air lock, about one thousand feet
out. The body was brought up by his fell
low laborers on the night turn, non of
whom are on duty today; consequently no
definite information could be ascertained
as to just how the accident occurred.
Maroney went to work in the tunnel last
night for the first time, and met with
death two hours after he entered the
shaft.
The body lies at Undertaken Boylan's
morgue on Pavonia avenue. A large
burnt spot just under the right elbow
suggests the possibility of his having
rested his arm on the wires. An ain pipe,
which affords a comfortable seat just
beneath the wires in the shaft,
body, being wet, both from perspiration
and the general dampness of the place,
made it a conductor of electricity that re-
ceiyed the full strength of the current.
Maroney was only twenty years old,
with a beardless face. From information
CLEANED at various points this morning, he
seemed to have had a rough experience
since his arrival on American shores.
At the Second Police Precinct Station
House, where the accident is recorded, his
residence was given as No. SD Henderson
street. No one living there ever heard of
him. A gentleman living at No.
$50 Henderson street was seen at
the mouth of the shaft this morn
ing. He said Maroney boarded with
him some time ago.. This same maj fur
nished Undertaken Boylan with a portion
Of a letter containing the address of
Maroney's sister, Mrs. G. J. Donahue, No.
503 Eighth street. San Francisco, Cal,
who was Immediately informed by
telegraph of the accident. There is 81
valise full of Maroney's correspondence
left at the same place.
A friend by the name of Ryan made the
application to Superintendent Haskell
last night for Maroney's position on the
force. No more men were wanted, but
after Ryan had told a pitiful story o n
corning Maroney's ill luck the latter was
put to work. He remarked, previous to
entering the shaft, that he hadn't a friend
in the wide world, and seemed much dis
pirited.
County Physician Converse will hold an
inquest.

varieties. The grounds have been maintained as a

graded. The surface Is in good condition., and such
Of the large and numerous buildings which it will
be found desirable to retain will require but little
expense to put them in good order.
The northweSterly portion OF this tract surrounds
a Mot of &c acres belonging to the Hackensack
Water Company. Upon this plot is located a reser-
yoir holding 15,DU0.00 gallons of water at an eleva-
tion of tU feet above high tide, and also a beautiful
brick, High Service Tower, $50 feet high, in which
the lands on the plots offered In Highwood elevation
are at elevations ranging from % TO 11o feet. The
Water Company plot, without change of control or
owuership, could be readily included for ell prac-

foundation for a large fountain. Very pleasant
effects from large and small jets could be obtained
over all the tract, as wen as from small ruls and
streams, falls and ponds.
This tract lies along the boundary between the
Town of Union and the Township of W~eehawken,
