Plans or THE FARMHOUSE TRCST

NEW YORK AND BROOKLYN TO BE BENEFITED
by THE BIG CoMBINATlON.
The new combinat ton OF warehouse interests
on the brooklyn water front has been largely
pushed by the energy and Efforts OF Timothy L.
Woodruff nephew OF Franklin Woodruff VINO
has large property interests. 1t Is proposed to
place the interests OF twenty one firms under the
control OF a central company. OF which the com
bIned capital will be $50 $4,000. The plans are so
far as possible. 10 secure controlling Interest IN
the several properties. and not merely 10 lease
them ON the front from the Navy fard 10
Gowanus Bay. a distance OF TWO and ihree-fonfths
miles there are 26i brick warehouses. with floor
space OF $3.50 30 square feet. thiry-hve covered
piers and nine open piers. Connected with the
warehouses sixteen elevators. with carrying
capacity OF 10000 bushels a day and storage
capacity OF 100000 bushels. II II proposed 10
establish terminal at some convenient point on
the water front from which tracks shall run the
entire length OF the property controlled by the new
company and 10 all the stores and wharves so
that cars be brought In on floats and run aong-
side the ships 10 which their contents are TO be
transferred.
j. s. r. Siranahan president OF the Atlantic DOCK
Company who Is proposed for one OF the vice
presidents OF the company. said yesterday:
Il have not yet definitely decided TO put my prop
erty into the new concern. but | most probably
will. II the present pans as laid before me are
carried out or course could not AFFORD TO night
such a big combination. A. ] understand IL. the
plan Is to benefit only the property-owners but
the port OF York. 1t is not intended TO raise
prices In any way but TO administer the property
In such economical way that the owners VIII
reap the benefit The details OF the plan am not
familiar with. but Il separate arrangement VIII be
made with each property owner. understand that
nearly all the warehouse are I'm favor OF the
scheme. Mr.. Mcintyre and others have been TO
see me several times about the matter. and when
/ have looked into IL ii little further have Itte
doubt that | Will give my consent"
The attention OF Mayor Schieren was directed.
in a letter he received yesterday from Lester w.
Beasey. ex-Supervisor OF the Twenty first Ward.
who IL In business In Pearl-st.. New-YOrk TO the
lack OF public piers In Brooklyn. Mr. Beasey
wrote that from Newtown Creek TO Bay Ridge
there were only three spots. outside OF the
Waabout Basin. where the piers belong 10 the
city. He urged that In the new part OF the city.
sites for eight ten new piers should be secured
at once Mayor Schieren said I'm regard 10 the
matter that certain number OF sites for piers
for public would be set aside, along with the
proposed Shore Drive In Bay Ridge ana on the
Gravesend Bay water front. Within year or two
the new piers and docks alongside the Waabout
Market would be built where the public would re-
ceive accommodations than are at present
afforded.

A Jack the Ripper.

ALBION, N. Y, Oct. ia most
dastardly murder occurred at the resi-.
dence of Joseph Van Camp, at Sawyer,
last night. Emma Hunt, is years old,
had worked for Van Camp since last
spring. She was very pretty and had
n good character. VIM. Lake, 26 years
old, had also worked at the same place.
He had paid attention to the girl
throughout the summer. About 8
o'clock last evening Mr.. Van Camp
with his family went to town and re-
turned an hour later. When he en-
tered the house he found Emma lying
on the floor in the sitting room with a
hammer by her side. There was a
large wound on her temple, her throat
had been cut aud her bowels cut down
aud across, completely disemboweling
her. Blood was spattered on the doors
and walls and it was also found on the
outside of one OF the doors, showing
that Emma had made hare fight for
her life. Lake was missing and no
trace of him could be found. A posse
is on his track, but had not captured
him up to an early hour this morning.

FRIDAY EVENING. OCT. 10, 1894.
Tor resrlt of the recent State immi-

THE result of the recent State immi-
grafton convention at Richmond was
the adoption of resolution, that the
business committee be requested to
consider the propriety of the appoint
ment of another committee to obtain
from the next legislature such leelsla-
ton as may promote immigration TO
this State. In view of what some OF
the other recent assemblages in the
State have done, it is matter of agree
able surprise that the convention did
not. at the same time, adopt resoiu-
tion in favor of free silver coinage;
though such resolution would have
tended to deter any desirable immi-
grants from coming to the State, Tor oil
such people want good money, and are
intelligent enough to know that lntrin-
sic worth, and not the governments hat'
makes such money. The result OF ef-
forts to induce immigration to the
North have not been such as to recon-
mend their adoption by the South
Promiscuous, deters desirable immigra-
ton, and the latter always has the
means of knowing where to go, and
how to get there.
