WALL STREET is GOING
Gotham travelling NorthWard Three
Blocks d Year, and Financial
Center Must Move.

New York, July l5.-That the disdp-
pearance of Wall strete, termed By
its critics the greatest gambling cen
ter in the world, is only a question uf
is the prediction of experts who base
their claim on a careful study Of eX-
listing conditions While they admit
that the speculative operations with
which Wall street is identified may
continue undisturbed indefinitely,
these experts assert that the time is
not far distant when Wall street Will
be as far out of the real city as was
Harlem one hundred years ago, when
that locality was regarded as an up
state community.
Very naturally New York cannot eX,
pand to the south, east or west, IN
less the bay or the river be filled i'll.
as was suggested by Thomas A. E4i-
son some years ago, and for this rea-
son it has been steadily growing nor.h.
ward until its center. once at the eN-
treme southern end of the city, il
now at Furty.fourth street and travel
ing on at the rate of three city blocks
year, or a mile in every three years.
At this rate the business center Of
the metropolis before twenty-five
years have passed will be north of the
Harlem river, or some ten miles from
Wall street, and no matter what i'm
provements are mate in the rapid
transit system there seems to be some
ground for the belief that the city viii
not continue 10 maintain its financial
center in an outlying district widely
separated from its other lines of ac-
.tiyity. How real this possibility of
the natural adjustment of Wall street
is may be seen from the building rec
ord of the Bronx, the territory lying
north of the Harlem river During
the first six months of this year no
less than $50. 600 000 has been expenG
ed for new buildings, a sum greater
than that covering the whole precel
ing year.

New York, July 15.-While the lest
and found articles reported from AT

millions of dollars yearly and include
every conceivable kind of property
from babies to grand planes, new
record in this direction was establish
ed this week with the discovery in

its construction never was authorize |

Those who have tried to trace the
history CT this orphaned street raj!
way in The heart of Greater New
York believe that it was built by the
old Sixth Avenue railroad to prevent
a rival line from obtaining a cross
town outlet. The Sixth avenue road
is now pat Ct the Metropolitan sur

latter dsclaim all responsibility fol-
the parentess line. Residents along

That is a retrogression toward the

Gamblers who had not been seen
in their accustomed haunts fer many
moons have suddenly appeared along

MES emphatically that there has been

MARTIAL LAW

GIVEN AS CAUSE.

Alec Causing DisSa,etude-Govern
ment Expected to Get 100000
Indemnity From Guatemala,
But Did Not.

New Orleans, July 15.-Martial law
has been declared all along the north
coast of Spanish Honduras. and the
government forces are in danger Of
deserving to the side of the revolu-
tionary junta, according to the story
which is told by Dr.. Timeto Miralda,
former minister of Honduras to Near
augua and Salvador, and leader of the
antIZelaya-Dayilla iunta in the unitel
States. Dr. Miralda rived tody from
'+ls'.~t.c 7.aI.ls:E-kcl
He sys that the cause OF the revclu'
ton this time Is the inability Of the
lIonduran government to pay its sol
diers and officials. According to DE-.
ldiraldaa. the Honduras government
had depended On securing $2,000000
in silver from the Guatemalan govern
ment as an indemnity for the alleged
revolution of July, 1908, and had
STAYED off its obligations with large
Promises of extra emoiuments TO the
creditors.
President Shows luminosity.
DR.. Miralda says the president of
Honduras is manifesting a spirit Of
luminosity towards Americans ana
other foreigners. This was demon
gtrated in a peculiar manner recently
OF Port Cortez, Ar american VINO
was persona non grata to the presi-
dent, had about finished the building
his home in Port Cortez. The govern
ment wanted to drive him out Of the
town, and is said could find no means
Of doing it. TO accomplish this order
an order was issued which prohibited
the construction of houses or build
ings In the port.
DR.. Miralda says that. discomfort is
spreading in Honduras and that the
people are tired of confiscations. POI
litical imprisonments and other forms
Of disagreement. He predicts that
there will be a change of government
in the country soon, and that the very
persons who were most insistent In
their demands for Davilla will demand
his removal from office. Dr. Miralda
attributes all of this distress to Re.
lava, the president of Nicaragua who
he says controls Honduras and Sc
cures the major part of all its reve-
nues.

The Ralph Holt family occupied the second and our family the third pew. shall never forget where we sat, as in my early boyhood it was directly under the eye of my father as he led the sing ing. I think that there were several other families living on che Stafford road, but do not now recall them.
 At the west and south of the old cemetery vas the one-story house then occupied by the Esquire Golf family, the parents of Mrs William and Mrs Daniel Shaffer, Mrs. Amariah Dexter and William Golf. A little to the southwest, on the short branch, was the home of James Holt, Sr., and Timothy Holt e ...
 Esq Glazier owned the field just in front of the Holts. and across the field was his gold mine, in the shape of the only bed of good sand in the town. and where for many years the Glass company obtained quite pro- portion of their sand in the manu- facture of the glass that they made One cent bushel was the price that he charged to farmers who needed sand for any purpose.
 On the road leading south from the old cemetery was the Elon Stowel homestead. wonder if there is any one now living who ever heard of Elon Stowel? He removed to north. ern New York, and some twenty years later he visited his old home and I saw him visiting J c. Rider. Years later the home went into the hands of MT. Williams, who died there about 1S45, and the place was owned by his son, William.
 Nearly all the residents of tIfe Hill were men of some means c. N. Merrick kept general country store, and was the town clerk for many years; Eqs Rider was the lawyer of the town, and nearly always was the of the town meetings and a fine farmer. Esq Glazier was fine farmer, sharp at a bargain. He kept a fine flock of Merino sheep. and at washing time woe be to the washer who kept the sheep in the water to exceed one minute. Dea. Asa Taylor had very good farm, but left the care of it to his oldest son, Solymap, and followed his trade of custom shoe maker, of which he had enough to keep him busy. Dea. Turner, at the time of which I write, was at the head of the Gilbert, Turner & Oo.
 Jonathan Weston had accumulated some means in his mercantile busi- ness and was the postmaster of the town, I think, till his death.
