A VERY PRETTY SCHEME
Which, alas, has Nothing in it--som ethlng
lack OF tU ALL

EaGt OF tt All.
Several Gays aso an idea with q good
many elements OF p.aus,bility in it was
suggested to an INrELLlGEScEE man. It
was that Mr.. James L. Hawley was erect
ing on the old Grant House property a
foundation for a railroad station. At
first blush the reporter was inclined 10
laugh at the idea, but he remembered
that another paper had swallowed a dix.
2ler story about another tunnel aud an
other gigantic terminal syatem, aud con-
cluded to inquire further.
A practical, builder said: "Notice that
foundation. No ordinary building, I
don't care how high or how heavy, has
such masonry under it. See there are
!Wo lines OF piers, Of solid cut stone, fl ve
feet square and very costly to build.
lou ask builders or engineers what sort
OF structures require such pieis and they
will tell you depots and track Sheds and
the like"
Another gentleman said the Wheeling
Bridge Company or the Electric car
people or the Cleveland, Lorain &
Wheeling people or somebody e.se had
options on most of the property on Mar
ket square south to Market alley. A day
or Two later the reporter found we'll

ton OF two other men a diagram show.
ing a railway track from the new bridge,
across Main street. curving up Alley 3
to Mr.. Hawleys property. This all
looked as ii the idea must have some !:
thing behind it.
When the subteot was brosched to q
gentlemal Interested in the contract for
the Hawley building, he said he was
not at liberty to say anything; that there
we're certain real estate deals penG.ng
that made secrecy desirable. This only
confirmed the s.osy.
Mr.. John Nj. Sweeney said he knew
pothing Of such scheme, although he
did not think 1t was altogether impos.
slblo that something like that might bs

Mr. Hawley wsa aeen yesterday. He
said he had heard such ideas advanced
and he had tried to figure out some way
that they might be possible, bn. 10 IA,
could not see it. He only wished there
was any reason 10 hope railroad station
might some day be located there. The
pier idea was adopted go that any build.

present be will probably build only a
temporary one story structure, but il q
