DISFIGURE UNION SQUARE.
Fine Arts Federation Opposes the
Plan for Abolishing ssDead
Mans Curve"

New York, March 13.-At the meeting
of the park commissioners yesterday
the council of the Fine Arts Federation
sent communication to the board pro-
testing against the proposition to in
wade Union square either by a tunnel
or by street cut through the park in
order to do away with dead mans
curve" The federation is of the opin-
ion that the proper solution of the prob
lem lies in the establishment of a slow
cable on the Fourteenth street curve.
Besides the general objection con-
tinues the communication, that the
parks of the city ought not to be given
up or in any way diminished to suit
the convenience of private corporations.
we wish to make the specific objection
that the tunnel plan would destroy the
beauty of the square and that the other
plan, which proposes to cut the park
into two unequal portions of irregular
form, would, if carried out, be fatal to
any unity or beauty of design, aud
would, from the point of view of artis-
tic landscape gardening, irremediably
destroy the site

GETTYSBURG FARMS.
Enormous Prices Asked for Land on
the Old Battlefield.

Philadelphia, March 13.-Assistant
United States District Attorney Mich
ael F. McCuilen has returned from Get
tysburg where he has been represent
ing the government in proceedings to
condemn seven tracts of land required
by the battlefield commission to open
Confederate avenues and retain certain
woodland which shall preserve the ap-
pearance of the battlefield.
The tracts vary in size from two to
40 acres, and the claims are as high as
$3.50 an acre, while the government wit
nesses value the same land at from $50
to 500 an acre.
After the first two days hearing be-
fore the jury, it became noised around
that the county assessors were watch
ing the case, and after that the owners
became more moderate in their esti-
mates of land values. One tract, al
most entirely covered with stones, was
declared to be worth $3.50 to $3.50 an
acre against $40 to $35, the value set by
the government witnesses.

GROCER'S CLEARING HOUSE
Chicago Merchants to Build Central
Structure.

Chicago, March ia clearing house
for the wholesale grocers of Chicago is
very near q reality. The scheme in
wolves an enormous saving iE the cost
of carriage of shipments to and from
depOts. 1t means the erection on the
West side of a mammoth structure into
which freight cars may run and at the
dock doors of which boats may unload
their cargOeS. 1t also means the re-
moval from the downtown district to
the West side of several of the largest
wholesale grocery houses in the city
The plan under way contemplates the
erection of a sort of freight clearing
house for a number of wholesale gro
GERS and the erection of a big structure
which would afford ample space for re-
packing for country shipments.
The intention is to erect a big struct-
ure, covering the entire ground, into
which freight cars can be run, thus
saving switching charges. The dock
front would obviate carriage charges on
such goods as arrive by lake, and fur
ther carriage would be rendered unnec-
essary by affording arrangements in
the building to break bulk and repack
to fill country orders. The latter In
turn would be shipped directly from
this big storage building without any
carriage. The scheme is so feasible and
economical that it will probably be re-
allied VerV soon.
