real estate operator. several years ago

from Governor Levi P. Morton, and sold
them all at auction in one day at an
immense total profit
When Charles Macrae was seen tonight
he admitted that Huntington hal solu his
pr perty o Morgenthau, and that it was
pro oba bly, only the first OF series of sales
by the railroad magnate.
Yes" he said, ",he ontract You speak
of was signed to-day. Mr.. Huntington

for the properly, but at the same time he
realized that if he were to hold it Tor
wear or two longer he might take out
greater profit By 500 600 or more. but he
ls desirous OF moving TO California and
therefore agreed 10 the ale.
The residence OF Huntington on Fifth
avenue is one of the most interesting in
New York. Some idea OF its interior
magnificence may be gained from the fact
that the grand staircase, sixteen feet wide
and of only two Il ghts. was built by con-
tract for $3.50, 000 1t is of selected white
statuary marble and onyx. Another fea-
ture of the house Is the interior court, sur
mounted by large dome which lights
the whole inside of the dwelling from
roof to ground floor. Along the sides of
this court are balconies, divided by
Splendld marDle plIlars nom Wnlcn one

would into the pit of theater. This
great honse Huntington has occupied for
only two years.
huntington s interests requiring his per-
sonal attention in the East in 1864, he
came TO this city, whlcn since then has
practically been ris home. Ho occupied
he house at IS Park avenue, an there in
1869 he adopted as mis- daughter Clara
Huntington, who in 1889 married Prince
HatZfeldt.
Mrs. Huntington died in 1888. and on
July ~ of the following year Huntington
widow, whose home was at West Fifty
fourth street. The ceremony vas per-
formed at her house, Henry Ward Beecher
officiating. The couple occupied the Park
avenue house until five years ago, when
the F.fth-avenue mansion was completed.

time he will close his palatia residenc ce
at the southeast corner of Fifth avenue
and Fifty-seventh street and remove to
California. where he purposes to make. his
permanent home.
Huntington's idea in taking this step is
to consolidate his wealth in enterprises on
the Pacific Coast. His pet property is the
Southern Pacific Railroad, and he feels
that it needs attention which can only be
given to it by his living in the territory
through which it runs. Then, too Hunt
ington is undoubtedly beginning to feel
the burdens imposed by his many under
taking..
Huntington in future will confine his
operations to that part of the country
west of the Mississippi River and more
particularly to California and the Pacific
Coast. Several years ago he disposed of
his railroad properties east of the great
river, including the Chesapeake and Ohio
Railroad, and has been gradually shifting
the offices of the Pacific Mail Steamship
Company from New York TO California.
Some such step as he has now decided
upon has therefore been expected in finan-
cal circles. He still owns the Newport
News Shlpbulding Company at the
terminus OF the Chesapeake and Ohio
Railroad and his intentions in regard to
thi. are not known.
Having relieved himself of his railroad
and most OF his other interests in the
East, he is now ready to dispose of his
real estate interests in this city, which are
very large, amounting altogether to more
than $5 OO0 600. This will be done grad
ualIy, and, it hardly need be stated, with
shrewdness characteristic of the railroad
magnate. The first step was taken to- day
when Huntington sold through his real
estate broker, Ch aries Macrae, three blocks
of land for $4O0, 900. The contracts signed
provide for the conveyance of the great
tract of land in the rapidly developing
Twenty-third Ward, just north of Harle m
River.
The property, comprising three blocks,
fronting on st. AIMS avenue, which
Huntington acquired SIX or seven years
ago. passes into the hands of Henry
MorgenthaC, lawyer, who will inme-
diateIy resell to builders for Improvement.

cave will be open to tourists. 1t has been
very artisticaIly Illuminated with in
candescent lights, scores of which arc
hidden behind green and pink tinted
fretworks of translucent lime forms tions
or pendant from large white stalactiies
until the effect is dazzling in the ex-
treme and can only be compared with the
fabled beauties of AIaddin's s cave of the
Genii.
The main chamber of the cavern is fully
100 feet in diameter either way, and there
are numerous galleries that lead to still
unexplored cavities. One of the latter
ends abruptly in a cha m that has no per-
ceptible encing. Rocks cast into this
chasm give back no soundings. With
occasional intervals of the rough lime
stone and porphyry all the walls of the
cavern are covered by a thick coating OF
carbon .zed lime, over which an immense
flow OF water has coursed for ages and left
behind 1t the delicate racing of ripples
anR wavelets. The galleries seem to be
carved out of solid ice, and their countless
stalactites and staligmites are like huge
icic!es.
The greater beauties of the cave, how
ever, are found in the exquisite lacework
drippings. These are many hued; they
hang like huge screens or curtains in the
distant corners, and their magnificent
richness and delicacy of pattern are hid
den from the camera.
The public opening of this intern al won
Gerland, under the auspices of the Masonic
Grand Lodge, has thrown the always
bustling town of Bisbee into fever of ex-
element, and all Southern Arizona and
Southeastern New Mexico have caught a
fair share of the fever. Trains coming
and going in all directions, special and
regular, have been crowded for a week
past. Bisbee has good hotel accom- m oda-
tons, but these were overtaxed very early
in the week, and for the last three nights
it has been impossible to secure any other
sleeping place than a cot in a crowded
room. Aside from the Governor and his
staff there were many nota bic Masons here
and very large proportion of the entire
Territorial mem bership.
The first meeting of this session of the
Grand Lodge was held on the morning of
the 9th in the Bisbee Temple, one OF the
finest appointed Masonic Iodgerooms in
