MOVE SWEDIS H CHURCH.
Erie Road Wants Ground for
Its Cuts--Trustees Con-
siderlng.

1t is stated that the trustees Of the
Swedish Lutheran Ebenezer Church, Pal
sade avenue. near Hoboken avenues. are
considering a proposition made by the
Erie Railroad officials to remove their
church edifice about fifty feet to the
south of its present location. The rail-
road wants the ground on which the
church now stands for the open cut
which it will soon commence through the
hilltop.
1t is said that the offer to the church
people includes a larger plot than the one
now occupied and 5000 in cash. The
widening of Palisade avenue, by taking
ten feet from the easterly side of the
street on this block, whichli is now going
on, brings the church so close to the
sidewalk that its appearance is to some

fellows and well dressed--bunch together
in the middle aisle and take the measure
of their surroundings.
1t is a solemn moment. Nobody smiles
or Jokes and there does not seem to be
much talking. Hats are worn and every
man looks about and stares. When an
acquaintance is deserted in one of the
boxes he gravely lifts his hat and re-
places it, but his features retain their
impressive gravity.
The women, when one does see them,
seem to be handsomely gowned, but they
are not as good looking as the men.
They go about in fine looking carriages,

GOING FOR ORDERS,
Governor Roosevelt on His
Way to New York to See
Mr.. Platt Today.

ALBANY, N. Y, May IS, 1S99.-Governor
Roosevelt goes to New York tomorrow
noon where he will tarry over Sunday
and hold conferences with Senator Platt
and Chairman Odell relative to the draft
Of the ew franchise bill to be introduced
at the extraordinary session of the Leg
islature to be held next week. The
Governor said this morning that he was
carefully considering suggestions sent
him through the mail as to the draft of
the bill He holds that the defects In the
Ford bill, while being serious, are not so
much so as to prevent its being good
bill.
The two amendments which he offers
ought to prevail, he thinks, because 1t
will improve the bill. If any effort is
made to tinker with his bill, the Governor
will promptly sign the Ford bill. While
the Governor is very anxious that rapid
transit bill should be passed, his desires
in this respect will be subservient to the
will Of the Legislature.
Ii the leaders do not desire to legiS-
late on that subject he will not recon-
mend 1t. The Governor when questioned
today as to the possibility of the legis-
lation as the outgrowth of the Mazet in
vestigation committee inquiry, replied that
none had been suggested to him.
The indications are that the extra ses-
sion will probably not be over a weeks
duration unless the Rapid Transit propo-
sition is considered in which event the
passage of an act and the sending 1t to
the Mayor of New York City for ap-
proval would consume a much longer
