MOVING SIDEWALK SUBWAY.
RAPID TRANSIT COMMISSION TO
CONSIDER 1T.

Committee Named 70 Take Up the Plan 70
Connect the Williamsburg Bridge
With Bowling Green-Demand for an
Express station ~ the PARK Circle.
The Rapid Transit Commission decided
yesterday to give serious consideration
to the proposition submitted to IL two
weeks ago to connect the new Williamsburg
Bridge with Bowling Green by means Of
moving platform.
When the scheme was first presented
to the board the members gave little heed
TO 1t because they understood that the
syndicate controlling the patent wanted
the city to pay the cost Of building the
subway. The syndicate offered an alterna-
tive proposal. They agreed to carry pas
sengers for one cent II the city would build
the tunnel. but offered to build the tunnel
themselves on the understanding that a
two-cent fare would be charged.
Max Schmidt, on behalf Of the syndicate,
said that the men he represented would put
up any amount Of cash decided upon for
the fulflment Of their contract.
Cornelius Vanderbilt and Stuyvesant
Fish are members Of the syndicate and
it is understood that several other wealthy
men are back OF il. Therefore when Mr.
Schmidt stated that the company would
pay for the building Of the subway, thereby
providing the people Of Williamsburg
direct transportation to the Battery over
the bridge and by subway and making
connections with the new bridges without
a cent Of cost to the city, Comptroller Circuit
moved the appointment OF committee to
consider the proposal The motion was
adopted and Messrs Orr. Starin and Circuit
were named as the committee.
Chief Engineer Parsons has made plans
for the building OF subway railroad to
tap the new bridges Whether or not the
moving platform would knock out his plan
is a matter Of doubt.
A large delegation Of property owners
from the upper West Side attended the
meeting OF the commission TO urge
the necessity OF building an express
station at the Fifty-ninth street circle.
Chief Engineer Parsons, who IL opposed TO
the suggestion, asserts that it would delay
the opening OF the tunnel for at least
couple Of years.
The speaker at the meeting said that
they had opinions from several engineers
that the express station could be con-
structed within eight months and that there
fore there would be no appreciable delay
In the opening Of the railroad for operation.
II was decided to adjourn the hearing until
these engineers and Mr.. Parsons could dis
cuss their views.
Mr.. Parsons announced that the work OF
filing In the exca va.ions below Forty
second street was progressing rapidly. The
restoration OF Park row opposite the City
Hall Park, ne said, would be begun next
Monday and that nearly the whole length
OF Elm street would be filled in by the time
the contract for its repn wing could be let.

MAN THROWN INTO QUAGMIREs
Police Rescue Him Frem Mud Near where
Cans Of Thugs Operates.


While patrolling his post along the foot
Of the Palisades early yesterday morning
Policeman Schow OF the Second precinct.
Hobokeu, heard means coming from q
swamp near Madison and Eighth streets.
Schow went to the edge Of the swamp and
saw man sinking in the mud. He sum-
moned aid from the station house. and the
man was rescued by means OF an impro-
vised bridge.
He was cut on the head in two places
and his right ear was hanging by a thin
shred Of skin He was unconscious when the
station house was reached, and was
sent TO st. Mary's Hospital. He re-
yiyed yesterday afternoon, but the police
were unable to learn anything, further
than that his name was Michael Roach.
II was said at the hospital last night that
his condition was precarious.
The police believe that the man was at
tackled and thrown into the swamp, as the
place shows evidences OF q struggle: The
swamp is the same in which Judge OF Elec-
tions John Durham lost his life five months
ago. A gang OF hoodlums infests the neigh
borhood. and a half dozen persons have
been waylaid and thrown into the quagmire
within q year.
