THE ROAD WILL BE BUILT.
MINEOLA. HEMPsTEAD AND FREEPoRT TRACTION
COMPANY CHANGES ITS ROUTE BE
CAUSE OF THE VETO

Hampstead. Long Island, March 81 (SpeciaD.-
The veto by Governor Roosevelt of the bill of
ator Norton to permit railroads to be built
macadam roads within the counties Of Nassau and
Queens without taking vote at the annual town
elections will probably have little effect the
building of the Mineola. Hampstead and Freeport
Traction Company's railroad. 1t will change the
route Of its road that 1t will be built on
county roads. To avoid the construction of the line
on macadam roads the line will extend from Min
cola to Hampstead the Hampstead Plains,
by way of Washington-st, and then through Henry
81. south to the Freeport Turnpike. The company
hopes to have the road constructed by summer.
James Mcllhinny. the attorney for the company,
says that the Macadam Road law. which prevents
the building of railroads on macadan. roads does
not apply to incorporated villages His company
intends to build at an early date he adds. In the
event that 1t is enjoined from building it will then
take the question to the courts for decision.
The route that will be most affected by Governor
Roosevelt's veto is that OF the New-York and Mas
sau County Traction Company. This line viii ex-
tend from Hampstead to Queens, distance OF seven
miles and is the connecting link between the north
and the south shore and the city of Brooklyn
A petition to give the Town Board of Hampstead
power to hold special election is being circulated
throughout the principal villages Of the town.

DIR. PETERS'S HARLEM PLAN
NEW CHURCH SEEMS TO DEPEND ON
JOHN d. ROCKEFELLER.

The Baptist City Mission is considering means
for putting up a building in Harlem for the use OF
the Morningside Baptist Church. which at present
worships in second floor hall in One-hundred-
and-sixteenth-st., east of Elghth-ave. One-haf Of
the means and all of the hopes depend on
John D. Rockefeller. The pastor Of the church Will
be Dr. Madison c. Peters. who left the Blooming
dale Reformed Church to become Baptist.
cording to Dr. Peters's statement. The
authorities of the Baptist City Mission, however,
say nothing publicly to encourage DIR. Peters In
this statement of his prospects
DR.. Peters said that the Baptist City Mission
had been working for some time with the idea OF
getting a building large possible in Harlem.
Already there considerable sum, he thought,
but not by any means large enough, for the under
taking. Mr. Rockefeller had agreed to pay 81 for
every dollar of the amount raised for city mission
work but had never been in the habit OF giving to
individual churches. The Mission had written to
Mr.. Rockefeller about week asking If that
promise might not be expanded to take in this
new enterprise. Upon the answer to this letter de-
pends the-as yet vsionary-church which has been
reported to be already planned, which is to cost
900, and is to be modelled after churches I'm
Philadelphia and in Brooklyn.
DR.. Peters also stated that he had been asked to
do Baptist work in Harlem. where there was
Still" he concluded, I'm not worrying. 1 have
enough to do lecturing through the week and
preaching Sundays. I'm not worrying. He said
that he did not expect to hear from Mr.. Rockefeller
The Rev. A; W, H. Holder, pastor of the Six
the committee which has everything to do with
the idea of church building in Harlem, de-
plored the publicity in regard to the hope for Bap
tist improvements in Harlem The committee
met Friday and called in friends to discuss the
matter" he said; AS soon as anything is done
the Baptists will be only glad to tell of It. But
at all will be erected. As far as the church
about 100000, or the Temple; Brooklyn. there is
no truth in It. Suppose Mr.. Rockefeller does give
S100. OO0 who is going to give the other half? viii
Or. Peters? Then have heard nothing about DR.
Peters being the pastor of the Harlem church.
and ought to know if that is the plan. He has
not been called. nor far my knowledge goes
has he ever preached at the Morningside church
II is customary for ministers to be heard before
they are called" The Rev. Mr.. Holder said moth
ing about sending letter to Mr.. Rockefeller, but
he gave the impression that the Baptists at
work plan give Morningside Church a
building; The Rev. D. A. Murray has recently re-
signed from the pastorate of the Harlem church
to be the Rev. DIR. Judson's assistant.

Now with rumors entirely absent the conclusion Is
inevitable. The buyers not abroad in any large
numbers. What business is being transacted Is
largely OF the left over variety, and the men
doing best In the real estate business at present
are those who do large collection business"
Notwithstanding the present lull signs not
wanting that point to possible Improvement in the
near future. Loans bond and mortgage are
oeing obtained with less difficulty and on terms
more generally satisfactory. With an improved
money market It s reasonable TO suppose that
realty will be benefited
Similar hopes were held out earlier In the sea-
son. 1t Is true but then came the tax agitation to
inject uncertainty again into the minds Of those
VINO might otherwise have been attracted. Fortu-
nately, the Stranahan bill has reached the
stage where It is only unpleasant memory. As
such 1t Is not likely to be entirely without effect
but the evil has been minimized
The business IN the section OF the city last
week was largely in dwelling houses. although
apartment houses on the west side OF Broadway,
30 feet north OF Nnety-first-st.. and at No. 40
West End-ave. were sold. and vacant properties

THE WEEK IN REALTY.
BUSINESS QUIET-SIGNS OF IMPROVE
MENT, HOWEVER.

In It's outward aspect the last week differed little
from those that have just preceded IT, and no great
ar share OF business has been reported by brokers
than has made up the budgets of the several weeks
since the middle OF last month. Buyers appar-
entity as scarce ever, and if anybody Is doing
more than an ordinary amount OF business the fact
&c carefully concealed view of the publicity that
ALWAYS follows deals OF Importance sooner later
IL Is evident that business C: great general IN
terest has been closed and the absence OF rumors
is in itself one OF the best evidences OF the market
denression When business is good there is always
more OF less talk about transactions pending. Many
OF the rumors upon investigation resolve themselves
into the thinnest of thin air, but the presence or
possible buyers certain kirds OF property in the
offices OF brokers La taken as ground for runor.

WHE4T GROWING IN BOYS CHEEK.
PECULIAR CASE REVEALED IN TRENTON
BY SURGICAL OPERATION.

Trenton, n. J., March 81 (SpeciaD.-A surgical op-
Grafton performed Landsford Bergen, a Ave
year-old boy, OF Yardley, Penn. two miles above
this city, disclosed a grain OF wheat growing In
the boys cheek Just below his right eye The
physicians here consider 1t OF the most pc
culiar record.
Two years ago the boy complained of peculiar
itching and burning sensation beneath his eye.
Later a small swelling appeared on the spot 1t
was iniamed and failed to yield to a physician s
treatment. The swelling grew to the size of a
hickory nut, and giving the boy much pain a
few days ago. when he was brought to hospital

moved the surgeons were astonished to find, deep
down in the cavity from which 1t had been taken.
growing grain Of wheat with its small roots firmly
set in the flesh, nurtured and thriving apparently
as well as though planted in earth.
It Is believed that the grain in some manner en-
tered the boys eye and worked downward in the
socket until it found lodging place just above
the cheek bone. The constant irritation produced
by this foreign substance In the flesh, say the
surgeons. probably caused the formation OF the
tumor. The boy Is doing well.

10 extend Its lines from Rye TO Harrison and
Mamaroneck, where connection can be made with

rumored. the New-Haven company is interested.
The terms Sf the franchise had been arranged pre-
vious to the meeting and, finding them satisfactory
to him, Commissioner Graham signed the franchise
while lying in bed.
The tracks will be laid to parallel the New-Haven
Railroad tracks through back streets. BY securing
this franchise the further progress of the Union
Railway, which has been cutting into the local
passenger traffic OF the New-Haven company. will
be checked as the 'Huckleberry'' road cannot go
further toward Connecticut than its present ter
minus at Mamaroneck. It is said unless 1t receives
