Dure, one of the Trustees of Hyde Park, was calted upon by a Tiaimuse reporter yesterday for some information aboit tho rail- yoad contest for aright of way toSouth Chicago. The tirst question asked Mr. Dore wus why did pot the property-owners of Hyde Park grant the desired riehts of way to both the railroads asking for them? Mr. Dore replied: + With the properiy-owners along the desired rigbt of way it is n question of benefits and damages. A railway tor one purpose may ma- terially enhance the value of property along its line, while a raiiway tor anotber pur- pose would prove very injurious if not ruinous. Property-owners near the — pro- posed lines granted rivbt of way to the Baltimore & Obio Road under the delusion that promises roade would be fulllited. Sayin nothing xbout the deception practiced, every one in the south ‘part of Hyde Park knows that nce to those who gave the right of way, and no benetits whatever. he tracks have been used mainly for freight trains and Yor stocimg empty cars. So you sea property-owners in that section have been forced to the conclusion that freight railways are injurious and not Deneticial to subur- ban property. As for granting right of way to roads east ot the Bal- tumore “& Onw, a giance at the qaup will convince any one that there is no room, much less a necessity, tur two railroads. A Delt rond mixbt involve the necessity of nalf 0 dozen or more tra and iunumerable side~ trae Everybody in the viemity of such a railway not 2usulutely deat would need cotton or wool in the ears to shut out the sound of steam, whistlys and the continual ding of engine s. Is it certain that this contemplated belt road ie for treynt? Geu, Torrence, the President, ought to be considered good authority. Ie bas already pro- posed to Mr. Ackerman, President of the ftnois Central, to have but one road, asking the privi- lege te use the ne for trent and requesting 0 coulynt with duing the passenger “ Would not that be a good thing to do’ “Itmight be a good thing tor Gen. ‘Torrence and his corporation, but the constant rattling of suuealipg of bogs, roaring of cattle, blow~ ot Steam whistles, and rmying of engine ing bells would ruim the lands for (he distance of nearly, if pot tully, one-quarter of a mile on Une mignt as well eucu side of. such a rond, live in the Caion Stock-Yards as alung its linc “Could gota juuction callway tor tree be built alone the lake soure witnout material in- jury to property" “The lake-sbure property 1s the best and by fur the must valuabte of alle At no vere distant day you may es ueet to see a driveway alo!

It is a reasonable presumption to suppose that they will be cou- trolied in their activa by what they conceive to ‘be the interests of the town anc the owners of tbe property.” “y miter then you do not think, as has been 60 often intumuted, that the ‘Trustees will be controlled by Gen. Torrence?” It dues not appear at all probable to me that Gen. Torrence will try to induce the Trustees to Detray the trust imposed iu them by the people of Hyde Park. Gen. ‘Torrence bas as good a right as anybody else to gu before the Trustees audask tor n railway right of way. It is time enough to speak of undue iutluence when there is.evidence of 11. “When will this matter be decided: “Jdo not know; it may be withia a month.” + How does it happen thut there 1s such a di sire ull at ouce to obuuin rights of ways Tor rai to South Chicago: South Chicago is rapidly looming up a3 a greut rvlway and manufucturwg centre. A lurge purt of the lumber business may at no distant day be dove inere; indeed, the indica- Uons are that it wiil Le driven there for want of yom and by cost of towaze. It is mianutact- ures, aud nut trade, Wat make great cities. If South Chicago is nut to bu the Birmingham of the Cajted States, it certainly is ot the great country Northwest, and tbat very soon. In my Opiuiva there bus, at no time, anywhere, been a Freat prospective city su clearly seen in the 1 ediite future as is now visible on the Calumet. This isun admitted fact. Htiulroad men see and appreciate the situation. They know that rights ot way for railroads now obtainable will ina few yeurs be immensely valuable; so they are Satay ring tO ciMbrace the present vppour- unity. ‘The President of the Western Indiana stated, in auswer tu1uquires, that his company bred come forward to build the roud to Soutb Chicago oniy inanswer to the repeuted invitation of President Hovart, of Hyde Park, and other ‘Trustees. These gentlemen urged the Western Indiana to build the road su as to provide the Hyde Park Water-works With cheap coul, and develop the Teal estate between the parks and South Chicago. President Brown also stated that there bud ever been any intention of using the road for freight purposes alune, but wat bis road had entered into negutiauons to make compiete Provision for atl the weeds of any suburban ‘Tavel that might develop.

One of them related to Haverly’s new theatre; the other was preliminary to the eree~ tion of a hotel in the inity of the new Bourd of Trade. Mr. Haverly has sold to Mr. Jobn B. Carson, who already owned one-hulf of the new building, the other half; then Mr. Haverly rents the entire theatre, with the necessary entrances, ete., for a term of ten yenrs, for a rental of $2 000 per year. Mr. Carson retains the stores and everything in the building not needed for tha purposes of the theatre. Mr. Jobn D. Jennings hns leased the ‘Jot on Clark street, which be recently bought for $75,~ 000 near the new Board of Trade to Mr. William McCoy, the present owner of Burke's European Hotel, who will duplicate bis present establish- ment as soon as the pins und contracts can be made. The Iease is the longest that has ever been made in this city. Mr. MeCoy agrees to pay $6,002 year, with taxes and assessments, for ninety-nine years, without reappraisement during thattime. At the end of the term of ninety-nine years the holder of te lease is to have the privilege of renewal forunother term of ninety-nine years ata rental, besides taxes and assessments, of 5 per cent on the uppraisal valuation at that time. This makes wo lease run, if the lessve desires it, 183 years. Tho property leased is Lots Sand Sin Block 115. in the School Section.

It will front on both Clark street and Paciticavenues. The bight will bé six sturiex anda basement, stone tront, and the cost will be $100.00. The building, will be divided in tbe centre by x thirtcen-foot court, and the Clark street half will be devoted exclu- sively to hotel purposes. The Pacitic avenue front will be direetly opposit the new Board ot ‘Trade building. and the busement and three jower floors will be rented for offices. The up~ per tloors will be connected with the east halt of the builling by an iron pridge-say, und will be fitted up us sleeping rooms. SLOW WORK ON THE BOULEVARDS, Work on Michigun avenue boutevard is being rapidly pushed toward completion, und a great deat bus been accomplished during the past month. At first some delay was cuuged by the city authorities, who did not seem to care about jaying the gas and water pipes in any particular hurry, but now all the underground work bas been completed and the Park Commissioners have started in in earnest in their department of the work. From ‘Twelfth street south to ‘Twenty-sixth the uniform stone walks have been laid on both sides of the street, and the curbings bave been moved back to their proper place. The griss plots have been marked off and the shade trees which did not comply with tne ordi- nance have been cut down and holes have been dug for the reception of the new ones. Work on the rondbed is guing on between the streets avove named. From Sixteenth street to Twen- ty-sixth street the broken stones and cinders which are to be used for the foundation have been taid, and from Twelfth street to Sixteenth street the top dressing of fine sand is being put on. The steam iron-rollers are at work pressing down the rough foundation and making it ready -for the top dressing. The block between Eighteenth and Twentieth streets bas ven left untouched. as a pavement has already been laid. North of ‘Tweltta street no work bas been done, us it was thought better to leave that uutil the portion south of Tweltth street was nearer compietion. The work on Thirty-titth street, whicn is to be the Michigan avenue connection with Grand boulevurd, is nearly completed and will soon be ready for travel. When the contract was Jet for the grading, paving. ete., of the West Washington street boulevard, from Halsted street to Rockwell. the idea was that it would be completed this zeason, and that the residents along that beautiful thoroucbfare would be put to no in- convenience next year. The prospect for the completion of . this «driveway between now and the winter is exceeding slin. The contractor, Mr. Jnicks, thinks that be will finish the job us far us Western avenue, but it does not look like it now, The new street was to bave been tinished clear to Rockweil, but no tearing up west of Western avenue was done, and this rough piece af wooden pavement must retmuitr until. next year. A Trisune reporter yesterday forenoon took a: personal-survey of The'situation, and he cannot say that the pros- pects are very cheering foria rapid completion of the work. The curbing has been reset on one side of the street as far west us Oukley avenue, with a proviso. Atthe Oukicy avenue northern cor- ner it. is complete, but on the . south side of tha street ‘there is only chao: Plodding on. the reporter found great Interini stons in blocks where there is as yet no curbing ket. In places excavating is yet being done for water service and drainage. The grading is done as far ns Robey street, but in part only. Jn places are excavations and great boles and hbillocks, xii of which will huve to be smoothed eyer, Nut one blecx of the pavement is yet Naoished. From Halsted street west to Green there bive been put three inches of granit top dressing, and the broken stone, so far as it re- lates to the first course, has been laid a: fur west as May street. And the see oud course) bus been Iald as fur us achalf a block west of Carpenter street. Besiles this, the contractor yesterday com~ menced to lay the first. course west of Ashlund avenue. He chiims that he can complete tha work us far west as Western avenue by the 18th ot December next, but this lovits very dutious at present, Ile bas labored under a erent dis- advantage in not being: able to secure the broken stone, and within the past few days he has put om a hirge extra forde. expecting to push forwurd the work. The changing of the additional corner street-lamps, and adding ones, bas caused ‘much ill-feelmg. Half the Inmps on the street are not lighted atnight, and the residents claim that the city is treating them very ineanly. It can be justly suid that the work on West Washington street 18 betwg well done, but it has progressed entirely too slow to be’ satisfactory to those who are paying for the improvement. At their meeting on Friday evening. tho West Park Bourd coincided in the report of the com- mittee on Wasbington boulevard, that the progs ress in constructing the boulevird was unsit- isfactory in the extreme, and that the con- tractors be nade to hew straliht to the line of their respective contracts, or that they be com~ pelled toctve them up. Engincer Wilson pre- sented a report showmg the stmount of work ae- couplished siace Monday, whiet did uot meet with the board's approbation. It was decided to hold Jaicks & Co. strictly to their contract, and make the bondsmen responsible for any devia tion therefrom. BUILDING. The residence to be bullt by Mr. William Ar- mour on Prairie avenue, between Twentieth and Twenty-tirst Streets, will cover 44x32 feet, and will cost $30,000. It is to be built of blue Bedtord stone, finished in bush-hammered work, with missive stone casings for openings. The building is treated with a heavy mansard root, gabled and sluted. The south side of the mansion, as well as the front, is of mussive stone, the vorth side adjoining another resi- dence. lawn extends on the south, At the front entrance there will be a stone porch, with Seateb granit columns. On the next lot but one to Mr. Armour's will ‘be the house of Mr. W. 2, Walker. It will cover 43x82. Its surface will be of pressed brick, with Iertin sandstone trimmings and terra-cotta nc- cents, The recessed entrance is a beautiful feature. Capping the three. stories and ment is a Freneh roof, , The cost will be $25,000. Permits were issued for seventy-nine buitd ings, to cost $200,0u0, Among them wero tho: to Curran & Wolf, eight two-story, dwellings, 145 by 65 feet, Culuinet avenue and Thirty: ond Street, to cost $20,000; 0.

The increase of stovck—$2,0W.000—of the Pull- man Patace-Car Company, and also an increase in the stock of the Pullman Farm Association to a larze amount for additional building purposes, is a bome ijlustration of the absorption of foat- ing capital, which «ives 4 greuter demand for moucy, and stilfens the rates of interest. Arather large number of sinull loans bave been miade this week, which 1s a characteristic of the market at present. The only toans of size were $10,000 for five years at 51; per cent on lots in Block 2, Assessor's; £10,000 for three years at 7 per cent on acre property in_5, 36, 12: $41,0W for tive years at $ per cent on Haverly® Theatre (duted May 1) 000 for two years até per cent on tots in Blocks 8} to 9, Sheldon's Ad- dition; 385.000 for two years at 6! per cent on lots in Blocks 117, Sehool Section; $20,000 for tive years at 6 per cent on the property of the Chi- cago Homvopathie College.

A LONG. LEASE, To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune, CnicaGo, Sept. You state in today’s paper that the lense of the ground upon which Me- Coy’s new European Hotel will stand is the longest ever made in this city. Twenty or more years go Isaxe H. Burch leased trom the heirs of Stepben F, Smith, of Philadelphia, the lot on the southwest corner of Lake street and Wabash avenue «it present cevered by the Grocers’ Block), and. built what was known as the Burch Block, which was twice destroyed by tire—onee in January, 1e68, asd subsequently in the great contlagration, The ease referred to was to run. for Ww years, and was upon a valuation of $20. ow for the hind, 6 per cent interest, and the taxes being charged theretor—or, say, $1200 per annum and taxes for what was equivalent to a perpetual lease of the property. Mr. Bureh has within five years bought up tha lease for $19,000 cash, and doubtless $200,000 would not be any more thun fair murket value for the land today, RG. REAL ESTATE AND BUILDING IN NEW YORK. Everything in New York, the Post says, indi- cates an unusually active real-estate market by the Ist of October, when most of the laree buyers who haye been absent from the city in the summer are expected to be back in town again. Some extensive and important exec- utors’ and partition sales, of both improved and unimproved property, ure to take place next month, the property having already been putin tho bunds of auctioneers with that view. There ig now a good deal of inquiry in the offices of reul-estate dealers and elsewhere by men who have mouey to invest and are looking for bur- gains in real property. These “shoppers” ine clude many persons who are not in the habit of buying largely, but, buving a surplus of some $10,400 or $2,000 on hand, are anxious to place the amount in reat estate, not with a speculat- ive purpose, but for permanent investment. ‘The high prices of lnbor and building material have compelled many New York builders to sus- pend operntions. Early last spring the northern half of the Nineteenth Ward and the southern half of the Twelfth Ward nummed with the cliek of the bricklayers’ trowels, and the tive- story brick and brown-stone fronts that were rising east of ‘Third avenue, between’ Sixteth and Ninetieth streets, were counted by bun- dreds. Few of these structures, however, have been completed. ‘The unprecedented demand for building material und for jubor nuturaliy ad- vituced the price of both commodities, and tho increuse was so sharp and prices went up to such high iyures generally that not a few buitd- ers) were — constrained) in self-protection tasuspeud operations. ‘Those who had contract; ed to build tor speculative purposes bad to stop right where the new vyilues found them. Between Jun, land Aug. 3 permits: bave been tmken outin New York and Brooklyn for new burldiigs, alte S2,81.85, We have already described’ the important bus: ness buildings. Besides the Vanderbilt houses, the most notable residence structures are apart- me! Edward Cla President of thy Singer Sewinug-Machine Company, is the first to break ground on what must ultimately be a mugniticent street—namely, Eighth avenue, from Fitty-ninth street to’One Hundred and ‘Yenth street, tronting Central Park. His nine story apartment house, from Seventy-second to Seventy-third street, is already: built. up to the third story. It fronts the Seventy-second stree entrance to the park, and in the rear incloses an open court. ts front is of Nova Scotia ston and the entire structure will be fire-proof. Iu the first story there ‘vill be a large restaurant, and overhead about fifty suits of rooms, varying from twenty to twenty-fve apartments. “Lhe entire cost is estimated at 51500100, Excepting up a few corver lots that are betd for higher prices the city is built up eolid to Fifty-ninth street, and the builders are binsting away the last vestiges of the enormous ledge that once frowned down upon that street alonyy the entre southern boundary of the park. Firth avenue neross to Eighth it js to be a mag- niticent street, mainly of large npartment houses with pundsome brick and brown stone fronts. One of them, the fuwtborne, bas a front of seventy-five feet and depth of ninety, and seven stories of Philadelphia brick. Cost, slu.00), Mr, J. F. Navarro will build both east and west of this structure—on the east two large apartment houses, 75x10) eneb, and on thew or Seventh avenue ' side, he will spend some millions. He paid $1,200,000 fur the land alone. The buildings ‘hich ure to be of iron, brick. and stone, are to be eight stories high, The Navarro structures westot the Hawthorne will be four in munber, each 200 fert in length, two fronting Fitty. eighth street: and two tronting Filty-ninth strect. There will be & private street: titteen teer wide east of the Navarro houses, separat- ing them from the Hawthorne, and unother pri- yate Street Ufteen feet wide running east and west between tho tio houses on FPifty-eighth street aud the two houses on Fifty-ninth street, su that ench of the four large structures will be practically isolated. There is to be a fountain nt tho iutersection of the four private strects. The New Yord Herald laments the terrible blunder of the New-Yorkers of the last genera- tiun in laying out tho lines oF the growth of the city. Their mistakes were that buildings were permitted to be puton Brovklyn Hights; that the post-oflice building was udinitted in City: Hall Park; that railroad companies were 1l- lowed to lay down their tracks on the banks of the Hudson; that the Pilisades,were not pro- tected from all encrouchiuents by builders; that the lots upon which ‘Trinity aud St. Paul's Church editices were constructed were not lett vacunt; that the Battery. once the delignt of promenaders, shou!d have beeu given over for Purposes of immigration. ‘The people of Chicazo may congratulate them- selves thar no such parsimony or luck of fore- sight marked the founders of this city. There wre beautiful little parks in every division of the city. In the heurt of it, on the shore of the luke, '§ the Lake-Front Park, which will become every year of more priceless value to the health of the city, And north, west, and southof tho city is the famous system af Chicaco parks, known all over the world, tu be connected by a continuous boulevard thirty-two miles lone. A meeting of property-bolders_ representing $50,000,000 met last week in New York to protest against the underground railroad.

During the storm of last ‘Thursday night the propelier Luke Erie, Capt. Johnson, of the Ne England Transportation Line, hound from Collingwood to this port, was compelled to run to South Manitou Islund for shelter. There is on the island a wood-yard, with a wharf, owncd by a man named E. E. Burton, und who is. said ty reside in this city, The Lake Erie made the island about midnight, and, after repeated whistling, finally awoke Burton, who came down to tho wharf with a Inntern. The night was inky dar, the wind blowing a fearful gute, and the sea running mountains high, The stanch little propeller was tossing and rolling fearfully, and uti on board were expecting every moment to be at the mercy of the angry waters. A vivid flash of lichtuing disclused to Capt. Johnson bis wherenbouts, and after great ditticulty -ke got his boat alonystde the duck and called out to Burton to take his lineand muke it fast. Instead of doing so, this sem- blauce of humanity shouted: * Keep away trom my. duck, dumm you. You will pound it tw pieces.” Capt. Johnsen shouted back to bim to take ots line, and if a dumage was done the dock the boat would pay it. Burton refused, and repeated bis remark to keep away frou his dock. Capt. Jobson not being able to get a man ashore to make fast the line. and in danger ot having his boat pounded to pleces, was compelled to head his steamer y to till morning at the utmost danger of being foundered. Finally day bruke and the in was enabled to make a safe harbor and it the subsidence of the storm. The only reason that can he assigned for the dustardly action of the fellow Burton is that the steain- ers of the New England Line do not get their wood of him, but tike it on at Haven. “Had the Lake Erie gone down In the gale and precious lives been lost. Button would morally have been their muriéer, His action was most brutal and nid: Of all feelings of hu- manity, and stearqioat-men generally owe it to themseives, as fwell as to those that travel on their boats, to give this fellow Bur- ton a wide ‘berth when they need fuel, and = thus avoid hurting his precious acck, 60 precions in his estimation that he would imperil the lives of a score or more human beings rather than have it pounded nlittie. Capt. Jounson, who is one of the most cautious and able seamen on the likes that the storm: wag 2 most severe one, and when, after muking the shelter of the island, he wis compelled to bead bis steamer out again be- cause of Burton's brutal refusal to take his line, he bud the gravest fears for his bont’s safety ane the lives of those on bourd, but, fortunately, the stanch little steamer rode the storm out safely. The Lage Erie arrived at this port yes- terday morntug looking nene the. worse for her rough experience. THEY MUST CLEAR.
