J: * A IVon4«if(it Street. **••<--• Ex Secretary of tlie Treasury Win- dom Is now in London trying to rai«e money for building qp arcade under the whole length of Broadway, New York. If he succeeds that will be tlie moat extraordinary thoroughfare known to the history ot cities. The scheme Is to oSake a new street under ^ki. present, surla^e of Broadway, ex­ tending to the houses on each side, and lit by electric lights at night and glass reflectors in the day time. The middle of the street would hold railway tracks not only for elty travel tut to accommo­ date i»-c»ming trains ffom every part of the country. Tlie traveler in San Franeiaco or St. Paul would not only buy lits ticket for New York, but tlie hotel on Broadway where he intended tp step. Freight and baggage would be conveyed directly to the warehouse or tie received by the express car which wa8,to convey it to any part of the country. • Then traffic of all kinds could b« carried oiit on each side of the ar­ cane. There would thus be a double tier of 9tore*. Provision could be made tor setters, water main), gas pipes, and heating tubes. In short, it would be- oome a double street and the value of the property quadrupled along the route. Engineers say tlie scheme is entirely practicable. There is busings enough now on Broadway for two thor- jMlghfares. s5&?sz I hive on hand ami am seliii est prices, the Domestic, it the Low- Eldredge, New Home, Siirinztleld, New American, and Singer '! wing Machines, and w<ll not be undersold bv any agent in the eonnty.
