THE STATISTICS OF ONE WEEK'S TRAVEL OVER SOME OF THE PRINCIPAL SUBURBAN HIGHWAYS—THE MKAVY TRAFFIC ON TUR 7TH STREET ROAD—THE ORDER OF IMPORTANCE OF THESE ROADS, &C. ‘The report upon the traffic observations made by. Capt. Griffin, of the engineer department of the District government, to determine the character and volume of traMc upon the principal high- ways leading into the city, some points of which have been given in Tae Star, says that stations for observations were selected on 7th street at Boundary and at Brightwood, 14th street at Brightwood, Anacostia bridge, Benning’s road at Boundary, Bladensburg road at Boundary, Ten- leytown road at Woodley lane,canal road at Chain bridge and canal road above Chain bridge. ‘The record at the station at the Canal road, at Chain bridge, gives the total trafic over the Chain bridge. The record at the station above the Chain bridge, gives the traMic on the Canal road west of the Chain bridge. ‘The maximum traffic on 14th street and On the Canal road could not be deter- mined at Brightwood and the Chain bridge; these stations were fixed, however, by economical con- sideration, 1t being” necessary to reduce the num- ber of observers to a minimuin, The observations: were continuous for one week from ¥, February, 14th, to 5 a. m. Monday, February. Ist. Three Observers were stationed at 7th street. and the Boundary and at the Anacostia bridge; two were found sumMicient at each of the other sta- ons, making 14 observers in all. THOUSANDS OF MEN AND HORSES. During the week there were observed and re- corded at the six stations 2,435 wagons and car- rlages, 48,646 horses, not including those with street cars; 56,707 passengers on horseback and Vehicles, including street cars; 47,119 foot passen- gers, 1,170 loads of farm produce. ‘To determine the tonnage one-horse carriages were averaged at one-half ton each, two-horse varriages at one ton each, and wagons ‘at one ton per horse. On this basis the total volume of trafic observed Was 41,626 tons, distributed as follows: 7th street, at Boundary, total 11,212 ton average, 1,601; Anacostia bridgt 7 ®, 1,068; Bennings roa Be Tenleytown roa 291 tons Bladensburg road, 4,707 ton averags th street, at Brightwood, 4, tons; daily average, 651; Chain bridge,2,033 tons; daily average, 290; 14th street, Brightwood, 700 tons; daily ‘average, 114; Canal road (west), 96; daily average, 14. COMPARED WITH OTHER STREETS. The average daily tonnage on 7th street, at the Boundary, 1s greater, Capt. GriMn says, than that on Arch street and Court Square, Boston; Chest- nut and Olive streets, St. Louls; St. Charles stree New Orleans; 7th street, between D and E, and 6th street, Washington; stain and Linwood streets, Buffalo; 7th street, Louisville, and Farnam street, Omaha, as given in Greene's “Observations of Street Trafic.” Tnese are all centrally located and important city streets.

Wagons, AU 7th street and Boundary 19,440 indl- viduals were counted in Wagons, carriages, street ears and horseback, and 26,220 oh toot.” Here the foot passengers predominate, as was ‘to be ex- pected. AU Chain bridge, however, 2,721 ride, While 530 walk, andat the Anacostia Uridge the humbers are hearly equal (10,040 to 10,656). 1170 loads of farm produce ” were recorded as follows: Hay, 519; corn, 260; potatoes, 212; 3, DSB: and straw, 179. "The majority of this was carried | respectively over the 7th street. road at Bright wood, Bennings, Tenleytown, 7th street at Boun- dary, Bladensburg, ete. ‘THE ROADS IN THEIR ORDER OF IMPORTANCE. “Considerable variations,” continues Capt. Grif- fin, “are noticeable in the amount of trafic. On the whole, so far as can be judged, the state of the weather seems to exercise little influence on the daily tonnage. ‘Tie same fs true as regards pedestrians. Judging from these observations alone, the relative importance of the principal county roads 1s as follows: 1. 7th street; 2. Ben- 3. Tenleytown; 4. Bladensburg; 1 6, 14th street (upper portion.” The Ana. costia bridge carries all the traffic from Anacostia and the southeastern portion of the District. ‘The distribution of this trattic over the roads be- yond the Eastern branch can only be approximately estimated. Nearly all the travel over the Chain bridge comes over the canal Toad, and constitutes but one factor, though perhaps the most import- ant, of the traiic sustained by that highway. The relative positions of the Bennings, Tenieyt Bladensburg roads ts somewhat unexpected. ‘The differences are smnall, however, and would seem to Indicate that these three roads are of nearly equal importance, ‘The upper part of 14th street 1s merely a cut off from the 7th street road, and being unimproved, Its low position on the list was to be expected, Ob! servations at 14 street and Boundary would show greatly increased totals, ‘THE SEVENTH STREET ROAD. ‘The heavy traffic recorded on 7th street explains | the great cost of maintaining the roadway of this tuoroughfare and lends weight to the recommen- dation contained in my last annual report, that a stone block pavement be laid on that portion of 7th street near the Boundary. In the Mgnt of these observations it will be economy to carry such pavement tothe top of the hill and to tor. oughly macadamize the full width of the roadway at least as far as Brightwood.” A Suggestive Offer.

Rufus Blodgett, superintendent of the New York and Long Branch railroad, and formerly member of the New Jersey assembly and of the democratic state central committee, was yester- day afternoon elected by the New Jersey legisla~ ture to be United States Senator to succeed Hon. Wm. J. Sewell, whose term expires to-morrow. ‘The election was effected after a sertes of excit- ing scenes. ‘The republicans went into caucus after the recess yesterday and resolved to support Blodgett. When the joint meeting assembled at four o'clock, after recess, two democrats (Bloomer and Lennon) were absent. They finally came in and President Fish ordered the tenth ballot for United States Senator. Ackerman, republican, the first on the Ist, voted tor Rufus Blodgett. Armstrong, republican, followed suit. ‘The decision of the republican caucus was now manifest. ‘They had agreed to consolidate on a democrat for the” pury of defeat ing Abbett.

REJOICING AMONG KNIGHTS OF LABOR—NO BEARING ON THE M’GLYNN CASE. ‘The New York Mail and Express says Cardinal Gibbons’ favorable report to Pope Leo as to the | aims and standing of the Knights of Labor, which ssset forth in cable dispatches from Rome, 1s re- | cetvea with much rejolcing by the Knights in | New York city and elsewhere. It had been thought by many of the leading knights that the McGlynn controversy and the attacks made by George on the church would have preju- d the authorities at Rome against the order, ‘and Uns fear was aggravated by the fact Ubat Car- | dinal Taschereau, Who sailed 1n company with the | American cardinal, had announced his intention | foendeavor to Intiience Rome through, it in his | fight with the Canadian knights, ‘The position | taken by Cardinal Gibbons will settle the whole matter. He 18 an especial favorite with the | pope, and his advice as to the treatment of any'matter in which | the United States | 15" concerned will, it 1s declared, be Ken as it is given. In addition, Bishop Keane, of Richmond, and Bishop Ireland, of St. Paul, Who are both frieudly to the knights, and aré recognized at Rome as representing the more pro- | gressive e t in the American hierarchy, are | With Cardinal Gibbons to support him in the post- | ton which he takes. Cardinal Gibbons 1s in a post | Uon to speak more intelligently of the principles | of the knights than any other churchman. Before | leaving for Kome he carefully examined the man- | ual of the order. Ho also held a long conference with Master Workinan Powderiy, whotn he regards | asa devout and conservative Catholic. His pres ent position is the result of his investigation, “Itis | sald in clerical circles that the kmights had power- Tul enemies Within the Vatican, Many of the car- | dinals thought tke order to be of a character siml- } Jar to the secret societies of Italy and Spain, and opposed 1t for that reason, 'Thisreport of Cardinal Gibbons has no bearing Whatever on the MeGiynn. case, Nor will its indorsement by’ the pope carry | with it anything more than an approval of the | general plan of the order.

He went downstairs, calling lis mother, and saving he had taken polson, Ie asked for cold water. He drank but a ylass of this and then called for hot water, of which he drank lange quantities, ‘probably with the idea to dilute the acid and stop its terrible corrosive action. He vomited freely, throwing up acid, water and blood, He did not complain of much pain at frst, but about fifteen minutes after taking the acid he’said he Was In great path, and asked that Dr. Gorter be summoned.

Puts, Calls, Spreads and Straddles Clearly Explained by a Master. From the New York Sun. “Of the Afty or sixty millions of people in this country,” Mr. John B. McCann, private secretary to the Hon. Russell Sage, said yesterday, “few know the correct definition of ‘puts,’ ‘calls,’ ‘spreads’ and ‘straddies.” Mr. McCann then clearly described the Peculiar methods of stock speculation which are not recognized as legitimate transactions by the governors of the Stock Ex- change, A privilege 1s a contract by which the maker of 1t—Russell Sage, 8. V. White, or James R. Keene (in the old days before Mr. Keene falled)—engages Lo purchase from the holder in the one case, or to sell to the holder in the other case, a number of shares of some specified stock, at a certain price, any time within a certain period at the option, of the holder. “call” 1s privilege bought of the maker at @ certain price, and the owner ot it §s privileged to call for a certain amount of stock at a given price sixty or ninety days, or four or six within thirty, months, &iman holds a “put” he has the right to de- liver to the maker of ‘the privilege a StOck at a certain agreed price within a certain number of days. For instance, suppose Western Union 1s selling at 70. A man wants a sixty-aay “put” on It at 66, because he belleves the stock 18 Boing gown. He gives Mr. Sage, Mr. White or Mr. Keene 1 percenton the amount of stock he wants to geal in. A hundred shares 1s usual, and 1 percent 48$100. He recelves in return ‘a slip of paper signed by either one or the other of these gentle- men. Then if Western Union goes below 66 within sixty days he may buy it for whatever tt 1s selling for below that price and “put” it to the maker of the privilege at_ the e price agreed on—66—and re- gelve a check for $6,600; the holder makes the dif- ference. it Western Union does not go below 66 solder of the written slips or “put” 1s out his ‘The “call” business operates in exactly the other way. You buy the ge of calling Western Union at 73 when it isselling at 70. It it sells above 75 you can call on the maker of the privi- lege for a hundred shares at 75, and the hundred shares are thus bought by the holder for $7,500, and he turns around and sells it at 80, if the stock 1s selling at that price, and pockets the difference, A istyaddie” ts a "put and “call” combined, ‘The holder of one may “put” stock to the maker ot the privilege or “call” for it. ‘That class of privi- lege comes high, because ‘there is money in 1¢ whichever way tile market may go, If the market does not go at all, but stands still, the maker 1s in the money he has been pald 16r the privilege, usually about 3 per cent. A “spread” 1s also @ “put” and “‘call” combined, but there 18 this differ- ence: A “straddle” is made at the market—that 15 tosay, the maker of the privelege takes the risk that the stock in question does not move to any ex- vent from the price at which it 1s selling when the Privilege 1s sold. In a spread” the maker has more leeway; It Western Union is selling at, 70, the aker o} privilege sells a “spread,” say at 67 and 80. If 1t goes below 67, the holder’ of the privilege can put the stock to the maker and corral the difference, and if it goes above 80 the holder of the privilege can call the stock from the maker at that price and reap the profits, But so long as the price of the stock keeps Within those points the maker of the privilege 1s safe. To put it in another way, the holder of a “straddle” will make if the market for the stock he is dealing tn moves at all, whereas the holder ofa “spread,’ doesn’t make anything until the market moves past certain limits, In the spring of 1884 the holders of privileges written by Mr. Sage took nearly $5,000,000 out of him, but Mr. McCann sald there Was a heap of mouey for all cautious and shrewd makers of privileges in the long run. ‘The seedy-looking mnen Who peddle privileges on New street_aowa- days Say that business ts slow at the moment, aS ‘the makers of privileges ask too high a. price’ for them, Privileges are now sold in cottonseed oil certificates, petroleum certificates, wheat, cotton, egys, butter and coffee as well as stocks, dud sev eral years ago, when the crop of fireworks for Fourth of July looked a ttle bit in doubt, owing to troubles between foreign and domestié manu- facturers, privileges on rockets and cargoes of tire ¢rackers "and pinwheels were hawked about Maiden lane, the stamping ground ot the dealers in pyrotechiiies In this city.
