THE LAST RIVET TODAY.
Progress of the Work on
the Railroad Elevation.
DlsMANTLING THE OLD DEPOT.
How Things Are Temporarily
Arranged While the Work
Advances.

The work of the demolition of the old
Pennsylvania Depot sheds is being rap
idly done. Four gangs of men are at
work upon the roof, one removing the
glass from the frames, another tearing up
the tin roofing, another prying up the
boards and the fourth following the work
of the other three and saving away the
cross beams which support the boards.
The material thus torn up is thrown
down on the abandoned passenger tracks
of the railroad. there loaded upon fiat
cars and taken thence to the meadows.
where the material will remain stored
until purchasers can be found.
TEMPORARY ARRANGEMENTS.
The passenger trains in the meantime
run into the depot on the tracks to the
north of the old shed, where the Pullman
and other cars not in use former
been laid between these tracks
with protecting sheds overhead. The
posts that support these sheds are some

overcome by single line of posts run
ming down the centre of the sheds. The
alighting passengers are brought in on a
direct line with Adams Express pier, and
those desiring to reach the ferry boats
are guided through the large gate
way leading from the pier to the ferry
platform. The old passage to the ferry
sonth of the depot is still open, and a
sign reading 'tCortlandt Street Ferry is
posted in conspicuous place.
No passenger from the train used this
way yesterday. The guards at the new
receiving station say they experience
little difficulty in handling the passengers
as there is no difference, only that the
tracks have been moved little 20 the
north.
THE PROGRESSING ELEVATION.
Walking out of the new station along
the tracks wooden trestle is seen, which
slopes from Washington street toward
the ground until it reaches ground leye
near Green street. This trestle is but {
temporary affair and is for the purpose o.
handling the freight cars which are to bt
taken to the docks south of Montgomery
street.
The last rivet in the iron work on tht
south of the present tracks will be ham
mered in place today.

This aim is coming to be appreciated. In

the normal. These were all engaged in
teaching in the fall at an average salary
of over S400 per year. This year 81

nearly all engaged, and the average
salary Is still increased.
There is marked increase Of interest
in pedagogical training in the counties
Many of the county superintendents are

ally trained teachers in their counties,
but in directing promising talent to the
State schools. Thus the State is coming
to realize the benefit Of its expenditure
in this direction.

The Senate has done its duty by ballot re-
FORM IT has passed the SaXtOn bill as 1t was
reported from the committee having 1t IN
charge In its present shape the bill Is doubt
less as good a piece Of legislation as can be
devised to cure the great evils at when II Is
directed. The criticisms which were passed
upon the bill Of last year were carefully con-
sjdcrcd while the present ono was still IN the
hands of the committee. The consequence was
that several amendments were made which,
while not destroying anything that was vital
rendered the bill OF this year more eeheraiiy
accountable TO all those who are bent upon Sc
curing genuine, practical ballot reform.
In the circumstances it Is to be hoped ana
expcctcd that the Assembly will concur in the
massage of the bill at an early day. The sooner
il reaches Governor Hill the better, so that II
he yetocs it an opportunity may be afforded
for rallving all its friends in the Legislature
and out of it with view to securing the neceS-
sary two-thirds vote to pass 1t over the veto
II would not be altogether surprising If such
vote should be pollcd in both houses. On the
