Late on Saturday night Maria Jackson ana Gaorge Collins quarrelled in the tenement house No. 366 Hicks street, Brooklyn, and the former taking a kerosene lamp from the table, beat the latter about the head with it. Collins was re- moved to the Long Island College Hospital, where it Was ascertained that ne had not been seriously injared. The woman was tocked up in the Butler sireet police station. FATAL BURNING OASUALTY IN ASTORIA, On Sunday morning, between haif-past six and Seven o'clock, Mary McBride, a cotored domestic, sixty-eight years of age, in the employ of William W. Smith, was fatally burned to death by her ctoth- ing taking fire while engaged in butiding a fire in the stove. The occupants of the house had no tn- teliigence of the occurrence until some hours later, when they found the charred remaine of the un- jortunate Woman lying upon the fivor of the kitchen, Coroner Seibs was notified, and pro- ceeded to hold an inquest, the jury rendering verdict in accordance with the above facts. A MEETING OF DEFRAUDED OREDITORS. On Saturday night a meeting of the creditors of Adam G, Schweickert, the Sixteenth ward liquor and vinegar dealer, who mysteriously disappeared about three weeks ago, and who was supposed by his family to have been foully dealt with, was held at Turn Halle. It has now been ascertained that previous to his departure he had mortgaged his roperty to about its iull value, and had borrowed Rom his triends a sum amounting in the aggre- gate to $48,915. itis belteved that he has realized altogether $100,000, with which he has decamped to Europe. REAL ESTATE. -_——_—_—_—. Inception of the Spring Movement. Active Inquiry in the Direction of the New Wards and Other Encouraging Signs. SOME VITAL AND OTHER ‘STATISTICS, Conditions Present Affecting the Market and the Logic of the Past. The suggestion contained here from time to time Tespecting the future of the real estate market, that an active movement might be looked for this spring in the direction of the newly annexed dis- trict of Westchester county, gains confirmation and encouragement each day. We have before pointed out here the various conditions helpful to this result that are now operating, not the least important of which we may again note as growing out of the recent great disturbance in the finan- cial affairs of the country. Thus the addition of the larger part of the so-called reserve of $44,000,000 to the permanent circulation of the country not only promises a plethora of funds at this great money centre, but also the shrinkage in most values consequent upon the panic has released a further considerable sum, which, in seeking reinvestment, will select a source whence such shrinkage 1s least to be feared. Need it be added that real estate more than anything else offers this solid security. That a recognition of this natural law of supply and demand prevails, and has prevailed, in rea) estate circies, is not, therefore, a matter of surprise, SHREWD OPERATORS HAVE BEEN BUSY FOR SOME WEEKS back buying up land in the new wards in large parcels, confident that they would reap great profits thereon. 1t will be but history repeating itself after all, the history of the New York real estate market being a Continuous story of rapid and steady appreciation. In this connection the following figures, taken from the report of the Cen- tral Park Commissioners for 1871, will serve as an illustration :— ‘ ASSESSED VALUE OF REAL ESTATE IN THE THREE WARDS ADJOINING CENTRAL PARK. 1856, 871. Twelfth.. $8,149,360 $50,362,925 Nineteenth . 8,041,183 ‘11,771,930 Twenty-second 10,239,022 57,666,340 Totals. . + $26,429, 565 $185,801,195 Increase. seeseeee 159,371,630 ‘The Park Commissioners use these figures to demonstrate how thorougbly the city’s outlay upon the Park had been returned to it in the shape of increased taxes upon an increased valua- tion, Itis not alone the Park, however, that has brought about this result, although to it, as the initial measure, is it largely due, but was stimu- lated by the great scheme of uptown improvement that followed and was subsidiary thereto. A like scheme of improvement has been inaugurated in Westchester county, in the newly annexed district, under the same direction, and can we doubt but that it will be followed by like results ? With the same energy applied to the construction by the city of a rapid transit road that has been demonstrated in the matter of Central Park, would not a like return be ag sure to jollow in an increased return of taxes upon an increased valuation? Up to January, 1872, the Central Park had cost the city $12,448,623, of which $65,028,844 was paid for the land and $7,419,798 for construction. The rate of tax in the year 1871 was 2.17 7-10, yielding on the increased valuation above stated an increased tax of $3,469,520, being an excess of $2,726,595 over the interest on the cost of the land and improvements. THE NEW WARDS OF THE CITY. The Twenty-third and Twenty-fourth offer the same premium upon rapid transit constructed by the city that the Twelfth, Nineteenthand Twenty- second wards did upon the construction of the In the meantime, however, pending the solution Park, with the certainty of larger and earlier results of this much-vexed problem of rapid transit by land, the new wards offer easy access by water. With the improvement of the Harlem River this water Way will be continuous from the Hudson to the East River, skirting the entire southern and west- ern boundary of the annexed district. By this means the Grand Central avenue, which pierces the centre of the new territory, can be reached by @ pleasant sail from the toot of Wall street or Chambers street, or other street terminating at the river side, either by way of the Hudson through Spuyten Duyvil or the East and Harlem rivers. A ferry of this kind will not cost much to establish aud can be made to meet the require- ments of travel to almost auy extent, pending, of course, the furnishing of land transportation. An excellent suggestion on tnis head was made re- cently by Dr, smith, of the Board of Health, in a communication addressed to that body. Dr. Smith recommends that the Legislature be memorialized to require existing railway corporations running trains into this city to run special trains at certain hours cf the morning and evening, ata reducea Tate of fare, for say fiteen miles into the country, as an accommodation to workingmen. The idca isan excellent one, and has been practically acted upon in London with the best results, of uniting the outlying suburbs of that huge city “with hooks of steel” to the ancient municipality. The matter has likewise been agitated in Boston, and being so well suited to existing conditions there, 18 almost certain of early adoption. It 1s about time New York did something tor herself. IT WONT DO FOR US TO BE ALWAYS COLONIZING. Brooklyn, now almost rivals us, while, in iact, We might almost say that Long Island and New Jersey are but great suburbs of this city ; through- out their entire area quite as intimately connected with the metropolitan growth as are many of the parishes of London. We have a new fieid of enter- prise open to us now in these Twenty-third and ‘twenty-fourth wards that we can cultivate at less advantage than we settled Long Island and New Jersey. There we wasted our substance; here we have an opportunity to reap the benefit of our own industry. DO WE NEED THIS EXPANSION ? is a question asked in some quarters in relation to the annexation of the lower portion of Westches- ter county, On page 17 of the report of the Board of Health for the year 1871 we find the following in relation to overcrowding :— But there are other questions relating to the domicil- Ing of the dependent classes of vital Importance to the sanitary Interests of the city. ‘These questions have bee made the subject of careful study by the Sanitary Com- mittee. In their opinion the tenement houses, as very often constructed and managed, are the curse of pop- ulous cities. It isa nursery not only of every form ot conuigious disease and of perpetual epidemics among the poor, but not infrequently of many species of vice, immorality and crime. Human beings, in many cases, are herded together—men, women and chitdren—with but little regard to decency. The majority of tenement houses 1n this city are old structures built for other pur- pores: partitioned off within, so as to gtve each family a iving room lux12 feet and a bedroom 6x4 feet, while no regard is paid to ventilation or domestic conveniences; 2), 30, 40 to 160 such apartments are consiructed, and into each 4 family ot from 8 to 5 persons is crowded: * . The effect of this excessive overcrowding in badly con- structed dwellings is shown by the fact that this hall of the population of New York yields seventy-five per cent of the total sickness aud mortality. Meanwhile, a aew feature has been added to the problem ot providing suit- ie homes for the poor in the enormous rise in the valu- ation of lands over the entire island. ‘This must result in preventing the extension of the area of tenement houses n the upper part o! the islaud, snd consequently will be followed by still greater crowing and concentration in the present tenement house districts, Between the high- Priced lands in the upper districts and the encroach- Tents of commerce in the lower districts the tenement house population is being yearly crowded into narrower and warrower quarters, though that population is itself steadily on the increase. Tho degree of pressure of this class upon surtace area in the Seventeenth, Kieventh and other wards, already trightful, must even tually, if no adequate remedy is provided, result in a leath' rate ot enormous proportions, Itis a fixed unchangeable law that when the number of persons given area. Uving on the surface or in low build ings ex: coeds a certain limit, the annual mortality will relieve the sarplus, To prevent such consequences the surolus area must be diminished or a larger cubical area must be obtained by elevation, with incrensed oF adequate supply of pure air, *** ‘The extent to which this over. crowding has been carried exceods that af any other of the large cities of the civilized world. The: following comparative table exhibits the population to the square area of the tenement howse classes of the poor of New York and London, ag shown by the censas of 1870:— New York. Low Eleventh ward... ‘Thirteenth ward. Fourteenth ward Seventeenth ward. During 1871 there in this city 10, than two years old, or 39.6 per cent ot tality, the percentage in L870 having been 40.8 per cent, ‘The mortality of children less than five yeats of age amounted to 12,971, or 48 per cent of the total. We have here, then, some of the influences which may be relied upon to start AN ACTIVE MOVEMENT in real estate in the northern portion of the. city at bo distant day, With this new area under mu- nicipal contro! opportunity ts afforded alike to the Millionnatre who may desire his Lo0.acre plot, with all the luxurtousness or lawn and lodge, and tne More modest desires of the clerk or mechanic, whom tei res would suffice upon which to erect @comforiabie home. There are, besides, numer- the total mor- ous settlements already formed, most of the conveniences 0} the city proper, where even single lots may be obtamed at figures to those who have #0 lon borne the burden of high rents focal tenements down town. We have already re rred to the active inquiry prevailing in this direction. Considerable of that inquiry comes irom building associations, or associations of a kindred nature, who design svaling, them- selves Of the opportunity now afforded them of obtaining real estate within the city at low figures. One of these assocrations has already commenced the work of @ new settlement, tneir pe de- sign comprising the prompt erection of filty houses, the Ducleus of Wiiat will yet be a populous quarter. Beyond this increasing inquiry in the direction of Westchester the market exnidits A GENERAL IMPROVEMENT IN TONE AND SPIRIT, ‘This Was Clearly shown last week in what might fairly be regarded as an episodical sale of uptown property, which attracted the largest share of inter- est that has been exhibited in the open market lor some time. Not alone was ths interest manilested in a large attendance, but in active and spirited bidding, which resuited in very satisfactory prices being obtained. So true is it that good New York Teal estate, when fairly presented in the market, can always tind a purchaser, There is, except at rare intervals—in fact, it might be almost said always—plenty of money at this centre seeking that kind of investment, It has been working quietly lor some time now; but, as prices begin to Jeel the stimulus resuiting trom these operations, owners show more disposition to vite the com- etstiun O1 u public saie, With the cnances of its larger return, Thus we hear of some large sales 48 projected, based upon the satsiactory results of that last week above reierred to. ‘The outlook at Present Wouid seem to lavor the conclusion that simular sausfactory results will 1ollow tuture oper- ations Of this kind, as they have in whe past. prigdy summed up, then, we may point out ser! im as CONDITIONS AFFECTING THE REAL ESTATE MARKET AT THE PRESENT TIME, and stimulating it to activity :— Fir'st—Yhe crowded condition of the city below Central Park. A city that has peopled irom its overflow an entire State on one side and an area nearly equal on the otuer, comprising wituin its limits the third city of the Union. Second—Opportunity for longitudinal expansion, as against the previous lateral expansion, in the annexation of the lower portion of Westchester county, Which brings a large new territory under the same system of munictpal improvement as more than quadrupled and nearly quintupled the value Of reat estate in the Iweltth, Nineteenth and ‘Twenty-second wards in ten years. Third—A plethora of money at this centre seek- img sound and safe investment, superinduced by the release of capital in the shrinkage of values that resulted irom the panic, and the addition of nearly the whole of the $44,000,000 reserve to the permanent circulation of the country. Fourth—The discredit brought upon other forms of investment by the panic giving greater promi- nence to real estate. Fiih—The present chances and the ultimate certainty of rapid transit. Sizth—Manuest destiny and the almost universal faith which the moneyed men of the country and many aoean capitalists have in the future of this great city, Seventh and last—Our own faith in ourselves, With such a strong array of chances in favor of activity what wonder is it that we come across meipient signs of this spring activity daily, and can speak with a hopetulness almost amounting to a conviction? The commissioners to whom was entrusted the Jaborious work of determining the awards and assessments for HE WIDENING OF THE KINGSBRIDGE ROAD, from 155th street north to the Harlem River, sub- mutted their report last week. This report em- braces the labor of two years, and provides fora total award, and, of course, assessment of $1,380,000, Owing to a point raised by the Corporation Counsel in relation 80 some technical matter, which point is now before a Supreme Court Judge waiting decision in the matter of another report, the report of the Kingsbridge Widening Commis- sion Was not acted upon but laid over to March 5 hext, by which time it is anticipated the decision in the other case will have been rendered. The bill recently introduced into the Legislature pro: viding 1or the appointment of a commission to ex- amine plans for RAPID TRANSIT, with a view to the city’s constructing the work, meets with general favor among real estate men. Itis feared, and indeed is so asserted, that An- drew H. Green will not only oppose the passage of any such bill but obstruct its operation or applica- tion in the event of its passage. It would be well, therefore, for the Legislature, should such a pro- ject to be undertaken by the city find favor with it, 10 define in such connection the duties alike of the Comptroller und Mayor in the premises and make them mandatory. RAPID TRANSIT. From the Battery to Harlem in Twenty Minutes and That Within Thirty Days. New York, Feb. 7, 1874. To THE EDITOR OF THE HERA) :— Since you are manifesting so much interest in the subject of rapid transit through the columns of the HERALD, and since so many plans are being Proposed, I desire to make @ proposition for the practical solution of the question. It is neither an underground railroad—dark, damp and dismal— nor an elevated road, ‘forty feet high,” or any alti- tude above the ground; nor is it a four track rail- road through any avenue, requiring s charter trom the Legislature and the expenditure of large sums of money for tracks, rolling stock, &c, 1t is simply to make available any or all of the common road- beds as they now exist, as most of them are suita- ble for my purpose without alteration or improve- ment. lwill take any wheeled carriage, wagon, truck or other vehicle now in common use, and, by the application of a simple mechanical invention, cov- vert it into a locomotive or moving body, the same being propelled by any of the moving torces which are now used jor land-travel or locomotion. ‘The carriages may be used separately or they may be used in trains. These may be saiely driven ataspeed ranging from ten to thirty miles per hour, according to locality and conditions. They can be driven with safety through any street or avenue, and over all grades which usually occur in a@ well constructed highway. The expense of such an application would bea mere trifle compared with any plan which I have seen brought torward, a3 it would save millions of dollars in new constructions on the one hand, and utilize a vast amount of property which would otherwise be comparatively valueless on the other. No charter is required trom the Legislature, as the local governments of cities and towns have authority to grant any mode of con- veyance which does not permanently obstruct streets, endanger human life or encroach upon tndl- vidual rights, Hence no delay, because there would be no occasion for log rolling, lobbying and the formation of corrupt rings to’ baile honest legisiauon and cheat the public out of its natural and political righ ‘The plan could be demonstrated and put. into actual practice in less time than any charter what- ever could be obtained from the Legislature and the surveys made for any road, to say notning of time for construction. . The plan is very easy to demonstrate on a small scale, and thereiore does not require time and trouble to raise large sums of money or to form gi- gantic companies to test its practicability, The public have been praying for some relief in the matter of trausit for years, and no feasible plan has yet been agreed upou, tt is high time some- thing was done. Iam ready to buck up all I have asserted in theory and practice, or forever forteit all mght to any reputation as a mechanic and | J. W. R. HILL, Mr, Peter Cooper’s Road. AsTOR Houssg, Feb, 8, 1874, To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:— Allow me to say a word more on the subject of “rapid transit’—to approve, at least, of Mr. Peter Cooper’s plan. For passengers and light freight it is certainly the most efficient and satia- factory of all the suggestions yet made. Linfer that by the use of the term “endless chain” is meant a line of cars going and one com- ing. Let me suggest a possible improvement. In- stead of having two tracks on the same level, let one be above the other—say about eight feet—and arranged, practically, as the tracks of common railway horse power. This, oi course, would re- quire the cars to be double faced, so to speak ; for in ing around the drums at the respective e of the line, their position would be reversed (up-side down). .Cars tor use ou such @ plan engineer. of railway could be made very light, as the di Of leaving the track would be wholly avoided, Only such strength as wo surely suppom the burden to be carried would be requisite; and, with cars se light, Mr. Cooper's idea of silencing the noise by greasing the track may be supple- mented by giving the wheels a coating of “vul- canized rubber," Following out this plan, [ would suggest that the endless chain of cars be arranged in sections, say of six cars, coupled with their ends near together, and each car to accommodate eight persons. Let such sections be so arranged in the chain a8 to correspond With the stations; 80 that when the chain is brought to rest every established station will have two or these litile aix-car trains ready to start, the one “going north” and the other “com. ing back.” Such a plan could be executed at a cost Not 80 great as that for the construction and equipment of our usual roads, Accidents could be guarded against with almost approximate certainty, avd # high rate of speed attained. If 1 mistake not a plan similar to this suggested was patented som» years ago for the transporta- tion of freight from depots to cars and vessels. The ideas are simpic, but all the better for that. In accordance with Mr. Cooper's su; tions the whole roadway through the city may be rendered as comfortable almost asa pleasant room. It can be so rendered, for why not use the various ap- pHances for heating and ventilation? If, as is robaole, it becomes the highway for so many ‘housands each day, the expense for such comtort could well be adforded, N. A. PATTERSON. THE COURTS.
