AS ‘the companies under this new bill will be required to buy sufticient ground for all needed yards and T suppose that the streets will other = not be tor this purpose, The effe how. ever, of the bill ‘will undoubtedly ‘bese teks the larger portion of South Washington a place for railroad shops and yards and the residence ot the employes of the railroad.

Sit. Wimsatt apd &. G. Uhlery as tenants of the Bradiey heirs opposite Part 1, square 391; Great Falls Ice company, op- ite'square 356; heirs of John Van Riswick, op- posite lots 8, 10, 12, 13,14, 24,25 and 26, square 503. Quite a number of these answers are in the nature of cross bills, asserting that these titles are derived directly from the original proprietors; that in the allotment of the Commissioners the juares conveyed included the water rights ex- tending tothe ‘main channel of the river. “It 15, apparent now that the controversy which has been going on for years as to the Uitle of wharf property will be settled, Ls Why There Should Be a Draw in the Aqueduct Bridge. ‘NO DRLAY INVOLVED IN ITS CONSTRUCTION. To the Editor of Tax Evesrxe Star: ‘In your issue of Saturday last I find a communi- cation from Mr. Louis E. Phillips discussing the uselessness of a draw in the new bridge to be con- ‘structed on the Alexandria Aqueduct piers, and ridiculing Col. Hains’ suggestion that a bridge at ‘that point without a draw would be an obstruction to navigation, etc. All army engineers in charge of river improve- ments are red act 5, by spon all oUStruction fo navigation eer or other and do less in water-powers situated on tide water, has n for Years retarded by the obstruction across ‘Of Georgetown. Mr. Phillips writes (and ‘as if Co: in the bill for had only one object in view, viz., the Duilding of a bridge wholly and solely for the Wagon trade in farm products for that part of Virginia known as “Cooney ;” that the opening of the navigation of that part’ of the Potomac river where its deepest water Iles was not to be thought of fora moment, and that a delay of one day in the building of & bridge might cause the loss of a Darrel of potatoes or a box of grapes ‘The Harbor commission of 1872, const ot the highest engineer officer in the ‘United States and superintendent of the coast survey and other officers standing high in the United States service, besides the then governor of the District and other civilians, Teported strongly in favor of ridding the harbor of such an obstruction as the Alexan- dria canal aqueduct, and laid out on their plan a harbor line extending along the District shore of the Potowac Of 5,500 fronv feet above the Aque- duct. Mr. Phillips is correct in his statement that Judge Cartier, of the Distret courts, decided that the Alexandria canal aqueduct was’ legal, struc. ture, it being authorized by acts of May 26, 1830, and July 27, 1868 and that a draw could not be put in an aqueduct without destroying 1t, But the case is entirely different now. The United States has purchased and abandoned the canal aqueduct, and thus has done what 1t could to rescind an fniquitous act_on our community from which We have been suffering for nearly flity years. Mr. Phillips forgot to state that a draw was provided for in the bridge act of 1881, by both Houses and approved by the President, and again in acts Which passed the Senate May 6, ‘1884, und January 25, 1886. It 1s 31 that no assertion of “legal structure” or “not guilty” in criminal case can be pleaded against such ex- pressions of legislative judgment. Tt is also true that the word “draw” was_pur- posely stricken outof the act of June, 1886, 1t being believed that When Congress purchased the fee simple title to both the Alexandria canal com- ‘pany rights In the plers and approaches and the Jexanuria bridge company rignts to the bridge ‘and its lease-hold of the plers, etc., and the United States became the owner in fee, there would then be no further antagonism to a draw and the open- {ng of navigation above: it was thought best, during the latter part of the session of 1886, of account of the bitter hostil- ity of Alexandria and its friends, who were fight- ing for the retention of the (useless) canal, that Une Word draw should be stricken out of the Dill (and it wasdone at the instance ot the Virginia Senator who wasthe promoter of the measure and has always been the friend of this community) and rely upon the liberality and Justice of Con- (press in constructing a draw when tue bridge was jullt. It 18 a well known fact to the people of the istrict, ana to none more #0 than to the editors ot its journals, how long and persistent ‘Alex- ria interest kept back the carrying out of the Dill‘of June, 1886, and that it was not until the last day of grace given by the bill, and the last hour on that day, that the Secretary of War was enabled to compiete ‘the purchase, nor would they have ever agreed to sell it out but for the fact that a free bridge would have been pullt at the “Three Sisters site,” which would have at once done away With the only revenue left to the Alex- andria Canal and Bridge company and that its own structure was about to topple in the river. It can scarcely be presumed that while Con; 4s appropriating millions yearly for the removal of obstructions to navigation that 1t wlilhesitate to appropriate the Sum necessary, as suggested by Col. fains, to give access to and’aid in the develop- meat of an interest which will tend so largely to building up this section of the District, It seems wo me that Col. Hains’ recommendation has been entirely misconstrued. Hesaysemphatically that a bridge can be built for the residue of the appro- Priation, viz., $105,000, but to do this he must 1orm an “earth euibankment approach” on the Virginia fide, instead of an iron trestle approach, and, as I ‘Understand it, do no repatrs to the plers, Col, Hatns aiso distinctly says that If the addi- tioual appropriation be made by March 4th next “such a change in the plans would not cause any appreciable delay in the reconstruction.” fully agree that a bridge 18 a necessity for very many reasons, and to further and benefit j numbers of interests, but must urge that so im- portant an interest as the navigation of the river should not be sacrificed, No one can doubt that will at some day Put a draw in ubis bridge. Should not therefore all interests combine to have It placed there now, as any effort to have the work done after the com. pletion of the bridge will cause three Umes the delay now involved: or twice the cost of its con- struction at this time.

Gen. Stone was born in Massachusetts, and en- tered West Point as acadetin July, 1841. After his graduation he served in the military academy as professor of history and ethics, and during the Peete eee Cruz. He was breveted first Weutenant in 1847 for ant and meritorious conduct in the battle of lolino del Rey, and was honored 30 again for the same reason aud breveted captain after the battle Chapultepec. In 1858 he resigned from. _ lar army end moved to San Fraacisco, where fer two years he was engaged in banking.’ When the civil war broke out he = a Joined army, and, as stated above, Was active in the defense of the city of Wa: mn, He was subsequently ap- inted brigadier general and commanded a rigade during Gen. Patterson's operations in the Shenandoah valley. He was imprisoned at Fort Lafayette and Fort Hamilton in 1862 for al- Jeged misconduct in the tld. “He was confined for seven months without any charges having ‘een preferred against him. He was released on August 16, 1862, and no ¢3 mn Was ever made to him by the government for his long con finement. After his release he served in the siege of Port Hudson and was one of the commissioners to receive Its surrender, and as chief of staff of Major Gen, Banks was ehgaged in the skirmish of Bayou Teche and the battle of Sabine Cross Roads, before Feversbang in August, 1864, and. fetstaed fore ry Command until after the ‘surreader in September, 1984.
