itwas not generally expected to have fallen off

4 STORY or SENATOR CARTER.

New-York has a fascinat ton for many mem
bers of the Senate and whenever they can leave
their duties those who have a leaning toward
Gotham may be seen in city Senator Thomas
H. Carter chairman of the Republican National
Committee, from Montana, but he loves
New-York like one to the manner born. He is here
a great deal of the time and recently of
his visits ne entered hotel uptown. where he was
like the man they sing about who has little
bunch OF whiskers on his chin and his honest
blue eyes and rudy complexion give him the
look OF a farm err which Is intensified by the
SLOUGH hat that he wears. He registered. but
a remark TO the hallboy in an undertone about
seeing that the guest did not blow out the gas.
and then wrote with flourish after his name
Kansas" The next morning senator Carter
noticed the locality affixed by the clerk and said
affably that they might change II. The day clerk
knew the Senator. but he remarked rehectively
that he did not blame the night clerk much

William b. Parsons's plans for the proposed under
ground road met yesterday and listened TO the
cross-examination of Mr.. Parsons by Archibald J.
Murray Nj. Murray devoted his entire time to
questioning the engineer to the proposed pipe
galleries their location. either above or beow the
tunnel and the general arrangement.
Mr.. Parsons said the matter of the location OF
these galleries purely of policy. not engi-
nserlng that they could easily be located below
the tunnel above H. at Canal-st., where In
The former case they would be below high wate
marx, which would not be advisable
lie then went into the matter of construction and
said that the curtain wall would be constructed 10
broadway and would be in conformity with the
Size. style, building and pressure of the building
structure. ana 1t would be built so as 10 meet the
necessary earth pressure from the several structures
The sewers would be constructed under the drec-
ton Of the Department of Public Works and would
In all probability be supplied with iron covers that
could be easily removed for cleaning the sewers.
Though the general plans showed only a founda
lion bed OF concrete under the pillars, Mr.. Parsons
declared that In MS estimates he had provided for
substantial stone footrests
At Houston-st. Tenth-st. and Fourteenth-st
where tho cable road has excavated deeply the
OF the cable pits.
This matter could be easily arranged. he said The
average depth OF excavation would be between thir-
teen and nineteen feet
