Of the Ryer estate on January 9th, for

Now, however, he has closed with the

to- that of his original bid. The property
has a frontage of 70 feet on Third street

AN AERIAL TOWER
What the Tramway Company In New

INC IIdmWdy SOmpoNy IN new
York Want
Lockport, n. y, March 2.-Attorney
George W. Pound, one of the directors OF
the Aerial Tramway Company, ha, sent
to Albany bill authorizing the company
to erect tower. and landing place in, the
State Reservation Park for the use of a
scheme which will be one of the en-
cheering triumphs of the age. A similar
permit has been obtained with reference
to Queen Victoria Park, from the Can
adian Government. Leading Canadian
politicians are interested in the enter
prise. The company proposes to carry
tourists across the Niagara river over the
brink OF the cataract and thirty feet above
the raging waters. A double set of cables
will be stretched from the towers in the
American park, with a supporting tower
on Goat Island. On these cables cage-like
cars will be suspended by trolleys and
operated by electricity from the American
side.
The aerial line will follow along the
brink OF the American falls to Goat ISL
and and thence to the Canadian shore,
forming a cord to the Horseshoe fall.
The cars will be of steel and the cables
the best manufactured. The floors of
the cars will be perforated to allow visitors
to look below and the side views will also
be unobstructed. If the bill just sent to
the New York Legislature becomes law
expert engineers will be engaged to super
intend the construction. The projectors
claim that the aerial tramway line will be
as safe as the suspension bridges them
selves. Each cable will be independent of
the other and sufficient to sustain ten
times the weight of the cars and passen-
gers. The electrical engineer will be able
to stop and start the car anywhere on the
line The bill has powerful friends in the
Legislature, it is said, and New York will
probably follow Canada in giving re-
uuisite grants.
