OF HISTORIC INTEREST.
An Underground Railway Station Discovered u
Old New York House.

New York, May 13.-In dismatling
an old brick house at Baxter street
and Mulberry Bend park. the work
men unexpectedly pried open square
trap door at the left of the stairs lead
ing into a secret chamber extending
the whole depth of the house, As feet.
and 81. feet wide and 4 feet high. In
vestigation shows that the place WAS
for years before the war one of the
chain stations on the underground
railroad" by which Quakers and other
friends of the negro sent fugitive
slaves to the North.
According to the best Information.
Henry Ward Beecher directed runa-
way negroes to the house. there to lie
concealed in 'thc cage" as the cham
Der was known. until the coast was
clear.
The property until last March was
owned by the Oldest and probably the
wealthiest organization OF negroes in
the country. In front of the house is
n brown stone tablet with this inscrip-
ton:
New York African Society.
For mutual relief.
Instituted June, 1908.
Incorporated March %. 1910.
This hall erected June Is. 1915.
One God, one people.
The New York African Society was
organized for the relief of needy mem
bers of the race. The site of the Old
house is histo1 ioaily associated with
the developments of the negro race. fol
there stood in what used to be Orange
street an old-fashiOned two-story frame
house in which was established the
first Grammar school for negro chill
dren in New York. In this house, also.
the first colored lodge Of the Masonic
order had its room. When the brick
structure was erected. the wooden
building was moved into the rear yard.
The old schoolhouse and the Masonic
lodge room We're demolished only n
few days ago. Underneath the cham
Der is an alley entered through n door
| sunk below the sidewalk and extend
ing to the rear yard.
The society has arranged to secure
the brown-stonc tablet and a copper
box with its contents which was placed
under the corner stone.

missing When the attention Of City
Treasurer Feaster was called to the
subject he made a search of the city's
vault, in the Union National Bank, to-
day, but failed to find the missing
papers. Former City Treasurer w. l..
Hamann says he knows nothing of the
bonds.
