the building and the promise Of novel Innovations
had naturally served to arouse considerable in

hyperCritiCS found fault with minor points in
the arrangements OF the apartments, the consensus
OF opinion regarding the floor plans more than

especially commended. and the Introduction of the

Fog HINDERS RIVER TRAFFIC.
AN ALMOST IMPENETRABLE MIST SETTLES
ON LAND AND WATERING ACCT
DENTS REPORTED.

Rain fell almost ala day yesterday. There was
downpour, but rather a slow and tresome
drizzle The paVements soon covered with
slippery mud which made walking unpleasant
The crossings were bad.
Early in the afternoon the thin mist that
hung in the air began 70 thcken and turn into
a dripping fog. Navigation in the bay much
impeded. The whistles of the boats were blown
constantly, and filled the air with a pande-
monium. Bells were ringing in the slips and on
the piers. The sounds became less numerous
after nghtfall. when traffic became lighter. The
fog grew somewhat lighter at the same time.
No accidents the rivers were reported.
Several ferryboats. however. had narrow es-
capes. The passenger liners which were sched-
uled to sail left their piers and made for the
sea. II was too foggy to determine whether
they crossed the bar. Some anxiety was felt
for the Germanc. Of the White Star Line. which
arrived safely at Sandy Hook at 81 p. IN. She
did not come up last night on account of the fog,
but anchored, probably in the lower bay
The Pennsylvania ferrybOats ran several min
utes behind time each trip The Roosevelt
St ferry shut down. and the Thirty -ninth-st.
service 10 South Brooklyn irregular. The
Sound steamers were laid up, being unable to
leave their piers.
The forecast for to-day indicates occasional
rain. which may turn to snow. The weather
viii be somewhat colder than il yesterday.
The winds, which have been coming from the
souJA, viii come from the north.

who have had the privilege of inspecting the house
since the work of tearing il down was begun have
