LsI R. OFFICIAL TALKS OF PLAN
Connection from Long Island City to Bay
Ridge Development of Old Idea.

An official of the Long Island Railroad was
asked yesterday to the bill at Albany
for the depression of the roads tracks from Bay
Ridge to the intersection Of Kings and Queens
counties. He said
LAS to whether this understanding
with the other roads and a freight combine,
don't care TO say. Mr. Cassatt and the other
railroad men nave time and again declared that
the tunnel in of construction is not for
freight purposes. Mr.. Cassatt has often said that
the freight would 30 by freight ferry plying be-
tween Bay Ridge and the yards the New Jer-
sey side of New-York Bay. The Long Island road
has long planned to have d continuous connec-
tiou from Bay Ridge to Long Island City. and
from there TO Wards Island The only new devel-
opment in the situation is the detail of the track
depression. The bill at Albany is not exclusively
measure of the Long Island road. Permis-
sion had to obtained from the city officials for
any track plans.
The rerort is that the new tracks of the Long
island Railroad will by definite understanding
with the various roads concerned make freight
connection for the New-York Central. the Har
lem the New-York, New-Haven and Hartford, the
Baltimore and Ohio. the Reading, the Jersey Cen

POOR MOURN HER LOSS.
Mrs. Anna 4. Smith Dies Suddenly
IN Tampa.

,yapx, moor woman in the old First Ward
shed tears yesterday at the news of the sudden
death of Mrs Anna A Smith, OF No l34 Green
yrich-st. who died at Tampa, Fla, on Tuesday
night after an illness of two days She was
known to every old resident of the district
not only as an old resident and the widow or
the late Edward Smith, the candy manufacturer,
but for her charity. Her funeral Will be helo
this morning at her home. and requiem high
mass will be celebrated at 81. Peters Church
in Barclay-st, by Father James NJ Mclean
rector Of tie church.
Fifty wears or more ago, when Edward Smith
established his candy factory at No. 134 Green
wich-st. it was near the heart of fashionable
section of the city. Many Old and stately man
sions were I'm its neighborhood and st. Peter
Church numbered among its members some OF
the wealthiest business men of the city. Mr..
Smith eventually bought the building in which
he had established his factory and built an addl-
ton 10 it which extended to No. II COrtlandt-5t'
The front portion of the building facing III
C,reerUich-st was Temodelled into home. and
has been the homestead of the family ever
since. There Mr. Smith made a fortune, ana
when he died, several years ago. the property
was left to the widow and three sons, Edward
c. John T. and George Smith, and comforta-
BILE sum was bequeathed 10 a daughter, who is
now a Sister Of Mercy.
When their old friends and neighbors de-
serted the old homes In the lower section OF the
city the members of the Smith family remained
where they were, preferring not to leave the old
home and the old associations.
If Mrs. Smith had been charitable in her nus
bands time she even more so after he died.
She always took active part in the mission
work of St. Peters Church but it was her pri-
vate benefa ctions that endeared her to the
hearts of the poor. She had only to hear of a
person or a family in distress and her heart
and purse at went out to them. She not
only gave freely, but she counselled and coun-
selied wisely. She would plead with an errng
father mother. son, daughter. husband or wife
to do better, and she often had success. Many
A couple on the point of separation have been
reconciled by her and the reconciliation has
been lasting.
she gave to ST Peters new altar in the
name of the Smith family. and also gold, dia-
mond studded chaliCe for the tabernacle.
Every winter and every summer Mrs. Smith
and her sons took trip eitheV to Europe or
some South American country week ago
Yesterday they started for Tampa. Fla. Word
was received the following day that they had
arrived safely and all We're in good health.
Sunday evening Father Mclean received tee-
gram from Edward Smith saying that his
mother was dangerously Ill. She died on Tues
day from gaStritls.
