U~NDERGROUND T~RANSPOR-
TATION

When an enormous volume of business
is transacted in contracted quarters as in
the business streets of New York, it soon
becomes a question Of how to successfully
handle it so that the wheels of trade may
not become absolutely clogged. For sew
eral years New York has been in a serious
dilemma and the passage of time only
emphasizes the necessity for additional
transportation facilities. According to a
New York telegram the difficulties will
probably o be obviated. Two years
ago Herman Clark, a well known CON
tractor, preached a scheme for a great
system of tunnels under New York city
and the East and NortL rivers, connect
ing the city with suburban points. Little
attention was paid to the plan. as it was
considered too expensive to be practical
BILE. Now Mr.. Clark the com
pletion of arrangements for carrying out
the great work. A capital of $3.50, OO0.-
0 has been guaranteed, of which
$50, 000, 900 is considered sufficient to do
the tunneling. The tunnels will be $50
feet below the surface, thus avoiding all
buried water. gas pipes, ETC.. and avoid
ing any difficulty with the rivers. The
main tunnel will extend from the city hall
IN New York to Fleetwood park on the
north, under Brooklin to Coney Island on
the east, and under junction City to
Newark.
There will be four tracks. Freight and
passengers will be carried. Elevators
will convey freight and passengers be-
tween street stations and the tunnel. The
plan for carrying freight will relieve the
city streets of much trucking. Cars will
be brought under larger stores and freight
can be lowered directly to them. Mayor
Grant is now examining the plans Of the
st~upenduous scheme. The ~incorporators
of the enterprise are about to organize,
and when the organization is perfected,
which is expected to be within ten days.
it will be backed by a large number OF
railroad men and capitalists.
MIR. Clark has studied the feasibility of
the scheme for many months, and after
consultation with leading engineers and
real estate men feeds satisfied that within
a year and n half a tunnel with four
tracks could be put in operation. The
unifcation of the three big cities would
thus be accom- plished. There have been
numerous conferences among the leaders
in the enterprise. and Contractor Clark
the work is likely to bestarted within a
mouth.

SIR: In the Suns issue of the 9th
inst. there is an article on the subject Of
the removal of the ordnance depot and
| wish to call attention to the fact that
all Of the statements contained IN it are
untrue.
The amount of money sent here by the
government for the pay and the purchase
of supplies for the ordnance department
amounts to between 800 and $500 each
month and | do not think that three me-
chanics will earn that amount.

The removal has not yet been decided

Some people call him A. W. Marble
but more people know him as VIII Mar
bic. He used to DO one of the brightest
and wittiest men on the Chicago board
of trade, and many of his clever sayings
still live in the comic history of that
body. He it was who once declared that
he was happy because he was even with
the world-that he owed just as many
people rs he did not owe. During one
period of his connection with the board
he was in the office of John R Bensley,
an ex-president of the body. Marble
was a sharp trader and a valuable man
in any office, but business had been very
dull for some time and he came to the
conclusion that in the course Of q short
time his head would fall In the basket
with others, to curtail expenses. So he
was ready for 1t. According to his ex-
~pectations 1t came one morning. He
was in the office when Mr.. Bensley came
in, looking crosser than usual, and sum-
moned him into his private den. Twill
lam, he said, when Marble had seated
himself, business Of late has been very
dun. l am very sorry, but and
here Marble interrupted him by saying:
Il understand perfectly, Mr.. Bensley.
You nave q VIE and family to support
and l will be the one to go. 1t must be

will CO." Mr.. Bensley was dumb.-Chi-
