New York, June 30.-With the de-
struction of the Erie ferry house at
the foot of West Twenty third street,
to make room for a new one, there
disappears an historic land mark of
New York city.
When it was opened to the public in
May 1868, Twenty-third street. now
one of the busiest of New York streets.
was little more than a country road
connecting the city proper with ''Chel-
sea" then little more than a thriving
village within the city The idea of
ssta ablishing a ferry so far uptown to
connect with q Jersey City terminal
was deemed chimerical by many. The
only rapid transit system of those days
were huge. rumbling. uncomfortable
busses running through Broadway,
with one line going west through
Twenty third street as far as Ninth
avenue TO the barns.
Eidered so much of an architectural
sidered SO much af an architectural
addition to the city that the "Harper's
Weekly" and Frank Leslie's Paper"
Of those days considered it worthy of
illustration and elaborate description.
The new ferry house at once began to
play an active part in the rapid transit
OF the times. When the Erie's new
ferry boats Erie" \" James Fisk, Jr., %
and Jay Gould" were put on the route
down town business men who were in
a hurry to reach the Chelsea and
Greenwich village sections or the then
Upper West Side" used to take the
Pavonia ferry from Chambers street
to Jersey City, and then the ferry
boats from there to Twenty third
street. This route was even largely
used at so late a date as during the
recent strike on the subway, as a
quick and sure route uptown.
This new water route achieved an
instant success, and was so great an
accommodation to the public that the
Pennsylvania ferry house on the north
wanna and Jersey Central eHtab ablished
H4gry stations adjoining the Erie. The
original Pennsylvania ferry house still
stands. The destruction by FIRE in De-
cember last of the newly built Lacka-
wanna and Jersey Central stations is
a matter of very. recent history. The
old Erie station, although practically
adjoining these stations, escaped the
FIRE without even a scorching. Wreck
ers are now accomplishing what fire
could not do by removing the old
structure.

TO STOP MILEAGE ABUSES.
= Special Dispatch 70 Ereninr Capitsl

Washington, d. o., Feb. 2.-It is
expected that some provision of law
will be made at the present session Of
Congress to limit travel on the part Of
army officers. The amount of money
paid out for mileage of officers who
travel under orders has reached such
proportions that each year there is a
deficiency, and this year the outlay is
heavier than ever. There has been
evident in the House and Senate mil
iary committees desire to know all
the facts concerning the mileage sys.
ten, and it is believed that Limitations
can be put on the amount of travel,
especially in such cases as permitting
officers to return from the Philippines
by way of Europe.

Hahn that a large cable has been

The cable is of such size and weight

Four men must have, therefore, been
