Charles ST. Clair Drumnond. president or the
Manhattan Transit Company, said yesterday that
the company had bought the entire block at Full

minal station of the proposed New-York and Brook
lyn tunnel It was rumored that connections would
be made at the terminal with the surface and ee-
vate~ lines of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Com
pany.
At the Offices of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit
Company considerable surprise was expressed at
that part Of the announcement regarding connec-
tIons being made with the terminal station and It's
lines An official said that the Manhattan transit
Company had not consulted the company IN the
preparation of its plans for a tunnel under the
East River.
The purchase price of the Furman-st- property
was less than 500 900. Several months ago the
company bought building on a plot 4S by 90 feet
at the southwest corner Of Water ard Beeknaan
sts which il is thought will Dc nsed as the ter
minal here Many persons appear 10 be Of the
opinion that the company has bought some prop

An officer of the New-York and Brooklyn Tunnel

FARMER TO RATTLE OFF HIMSELF.
It Is Said To Be the Only Way He Could
Get Wife.

we'll to do farmer of Secaucus n. j., whose
first wife died in 1898 has tried times without num-
ber since then, according to his neighbors to get
married but he met with no success in MS ad-
vances toward the eligible women of his acqualnt-
anee He finally got tired of himself that ne
decided to rattle himself off, and in order TO make
sure that the rattle would be success he provided
that along with him should go his savings. amount
not stated and his house and farm of twenty-five
acres in the Snake Hill road.
The sale of tickets progressed with more success
than in his widest moments the lonesome farmer
could have anticipated. Yesterday he announced
that he had sold III tickets at 25 cents each and he
thinks he could sell as many more IL he wanted TO
extend the time limit, But he originally planned
TO end the rattle New Years Day, and he in

Will be decided this evening at the farmers home,
and after the winner is named there will be
dance and a general celebration in honor of the
approaching wedding.
The principal prize of the lottery is a bit
ried over the possible outcome. for among those
who bought cnances are several negresses. The
farmer declares, however, that even If OF the
coored persons should win he will abide by the
decision. To a scofflng neighbor who suggested
that he ought TO give the coiored person chance
to say something the farmer returned only scorn-
full silence.
The farmer is ifty-fve years old and has red
hair and beard and blue eyes. He lays upon his
red hair all the blame for the necessity of being

BACON LEAVES J. P. MORGAN & co.

BY far the most interesting Of the many an
nouncements yesterday Of changes IN business
firms in the financial district that Of the re-
tirement of Robert Bacon from the banking house
of j. P Morgan & Co. The statement issued by
the firm was made also on behalf Of the Philadel-

Mr.. Morgan declined to say anything further.
but another member of the firm stated that Mr.
Bacon's retirement was matter Of personal regret
to them all and was due solely to the state of his
health AS evidence of this fact, 1t was pointed
out that Mr. Bacon had not resigned from any OF
the directorates in which he represents the Morgan
