SAYS 1T WILL INTERFERE WITH WORK OF
THE RAPID TRANSIT BOARD

THE RAPID TRANSIT BOARD.
Members Of tho State Railroad Commission met
in the Fifth Avenue Hotel yesterday to consider
the proposition of the NewYork, Brooklyn and
Jersey City Rapid Transit Company and the New
York and Brooklyn Union Transit Company 10
build n tunnel connecting Brooklyn and Jersey
City; the plan Of the Elmira and Corning Electric
Railway line, to connect Emira and Corning; the
grade crossings of the New-York and Harlem
Railroad Company in Mount Vernon and of the
Long Island Railroad Company in Brookhaven.
The question of doing away with grade crossings
at Mount Vernon was first taken up. II. H. Trowr
bridge appeared for the New-York and Harlem.
while the citizens of Mount Vernon who spoke
for the changes were Mayor Fiske, Aldermen
Stngs and Weber. eX-Judge Appel and Corpora
tion Counsel Marshall Evidence produced to
show that the change would cost about $500 900
Commissioner Dunn, who acted as chairman said
that the cost might prevent action II it would
he really 100000 1t might be necessary for
he people of Mount Vernon to go to the LegIs-
Iature for a special appropriation. The Commits
sion would try to get further figures 10 the
cost.
The application of the New York Brooklyn and
Jersey City Rapid Transit Company was opposed
by Alexander F. Orr, president of the Board Of
Rapid Transit Commissioners. He said that the
Board had always had the question of rapid transit
to Brooklyn in mind but it not until the oues-
ton as to the Borough of Manhattan was thor
oughly. settled that 1t was gone into formally
Brooklyn and New-York, and the Board had finally
decided a route No contract had vet been Iet
The Board had passed a resolution and had started
10 present it to the various city authorities that
would have to pass upon il. II at present be-
for the Municipal Assembly. There was no doubt
in Mr.. Orr's mind that the plan of the New-York
BROOKLYN and Jersey City company would interfere
materially with the Rapid Transit Board 1t would
stay the work, pl event their procuring a tenant
after the Appellate Division had passed upon the
matter. and practically defeat the purposes of the
RAPID Transit act far Brooklyn was con-
cerned These views not his alone Mr. Orr
said, but those Of all the members of the Rapid
Transit Board.
II was decided that the application of the town
Of Rrookh haven Long Island was not properly
presented. George F. Stackpoe, representing those
who sought the change, said: Then / withdraw
and will have to mandamus the Board"
"And may the Lord go with your replied Mr.

English "PIuins" That Weighed
More Than .OfO Pounds.

English "PIu,ns" That Weighed
More Than 1000 Pounds.
Philadelphia Record: The largest
plum pudding that has yet seen the
light of day was made at Paignton,
in Devon, in 1858, to celebrate the OPP
ening of the railway, and weighed one
ton and half. According to the
Westminster Gazette the ingredients
OF this Gnrgantuan pudding included
c'3 pounds of flour, 191 pounds of
bread, 3S2 pounds of raisins, 191
pounds of currants, 3S2 pounds of
suet, 800 lemons, 144 nutmegs, 95
pounds of sugar, 800 quarts of milk,
and eggs in proportion. 1t was cooked
in sections, which were afterward put
together and conveyed to the green
by eight horses. Here $4,000 people
made a rush for the confection and
fought for it until nothing was left.
This was also the fate of d 00D-pound
pudding which took fourteen days to
boil, and was carried In a procession
as an advertisement for tooth pow
der quack early in the eighteenth. cen
tury TO ST. Patrick's Fields.
In 1919 Paignton made 900-pound
pudding, which was boiled for three
days and three nights i'm brewers
copper, but only the outside portion
could be eaten, as the inside was not
boiled through. Last year, at large
church bazaar at the same town, a
more modest pudding was built out of
sections, but as it only stood four feet
high, and its weight was but 250
pounds. it compared very unfavorably
with the giants previously mentioned,
or with the ton weight of pudding
cooked in new oblong boiler, which
was thus inaugurated at weaving
establishment at Aughton-on-Ha
little more than century ago. This
latter festival Is repeated every TWEEN
ty-one years at Aughton, and on the
last occasion, in 1856, the pudding
weighed 1000 pounds.

Another Family Bible

Sioux Falls, $. d., Jan. 29.-County
Judge Wilkes received by express an.
other alleged family bible, which the
sender, James Mcclellan, of Little
Rock, Ark, claims was at one time the
property of John Mcclellan, the de-
ceased Sioux Falls pioneer, for whose
large estate an interesting struggle
has been in progress the past six
months between American, Canadian
and Irish claimants. The Arkansas
man alleges he has proof that he is a
son of John Mcclellan, who was mar
ried to his mother in Ireland prior to
coming to America. So far as known
here Mcclellan never was married.
This turn of affairs may further com.
plicate the case.
