mre. when Mr.. Huntington sold the
controlling interest In the Chesapeake and
Ohio railroad 20 the. Nanderbilts he refused
10 sell the Terminal properties in the harbor
| Of Newport News. He gave as a reason
his belief that Newport News wOald become
the greatest port in the south on account ~
its fine harbor and location. lie Thought
his investments in the Terminal snd snip
ping properties in this harbor gave promise
Of Il great future inyestment which II wouiu
pay him to keep In his possession.

cially in that section through when the

will add strength to the Board and give
,s)ckhs'ders and the public more confidence
in the road than ever before.

their more northerly neigh6ors, they ex-
pect it will do vast deal 10 aid the south
and develop It's resources.

tiOn % establish savannah IS new port Tor

way 10 the wine-making counties Of this
State.
NEW YORK IRISH AND PARNELL.
The impression prevailing ia Irish Ma
tiOnal circles in this city Is that Mr. Far
nell will have 10 retire. IL j. said on tue
best authority that O'lSrien, Dillon and the
other Irish enYOys will come 10 no conclu-
sion before tomorrow night at the earliest.

by Chief Engineer Clarke and his assistant,
Charles b. Brush, but they were withheld

way between Twenty-third and rOrty-fourth
streets, and the depot was to be reached
without disturbing the surface Of any street
or avenue in the city. He would not say

because that might give some clue 10 the
proposed location OF thu bridge itself. where

! BROoKLYN's CENSUS.
Census supervisor Sedgwick, Of Brooklyn,
, talks Of his work in straightforward,
manly fashion which sharply contrasts
with his chief, Mr.. P0rter's opinions. Mr.
Sedgwick admits the accuracy OF the police
recount. but thinks that the discrepancy OF
5000 between the June and November
enumerations is explained by the return OF
the tourists and the steady drilt Of resi-
! dents from New York 10 Brooklyn since the
rapid transit facilities Of the latter city
have been 80 widely extended.
EAST RIVER TUNNEL.
The granting by the Land Office Commits
soners Of the state right 20 lands under the
East river for ne construction Ot the East
river tunnel leaves but single obstacle in
, the way OF beginning this great work. The
/ Board Of Aldermen, or It's Committee on
Bridges and Tunnels. have persistently re-
/ fused 10 grant the necessary permission 10

statutory requirements have been complied
with. The consent Of the adjoining prop
erty-Owners have been obtained. The capi-
/ tai is subscribed, and hundreds Of engineers
and labOrers are eagerly waiting for the
| commencement OF this tremendous under
taking. The Chamber OF Commerce. the
: IIarbOr Commissioners, the pilots, and nu-
merOus labor organizations have petitioned
the Board Of Aldermen 20 act upon this
, important measure. which Is one n0s

Meeting. as il will, the New York Central

fishing an unbrOken railway from Buffalo
