It is the best in the world. eo BUILT ALONG CON- NECTICUT AVENUE TO THE DISTRICT LINE—A ROSS COUNTRY LINE TO THE CONDUIT ROAD— OTHER MATTERS OF INTEREST, In the development of the suburbs street rail- ways will assume in the future an important part. The growth in population outside of the city limits bas been thus far mainly confined to the sections bordering on the city and along the lines of the steam railroads, Branch lines of existing street railways have been in operation for some years on the 7th street road and on the 14th street road for short distances beyond the city limits. The extension of the former branch line to Brightwood has recently been effected, and the Eckington electric road has been built. | These roads constitute all the suburban street | railway facilities which the city now has, But from the applications made to Congress for au- thority to construct railroad lines connecting the city with the country it is evident that the field is regarded as a promising one. An important move in this direction is the authority given by the bill recently approved by the President to the Rock Creek Rai Company to build an electric road. The line of this road begins at the head of Connecticut avenue and ends at the District line, where Connecticut avenue ex- tended ends. The persons Ciena Seon aap inten ing interest in this road are also ely inter- ested in the property along its proposed route, the greater portion of which has never been developed. It has only been recently that the lines for the extension of Connecticut avenue beyond Rock creek have been determined by surveys. The company intends to open and grade the avenue from the northern limits of Woodley Park all the way out to the District SKIN og line. The new road will pass near the main entrance of the new Zoological Park.

The name is, however, something of a misnomer, as the controlling interest in all the property purchased by what is known as the California syndicate is owned by Mr. Francis G. Newlands of Nevada, who represents the Sharon estate. In addition to having acquired nearly all the property ulong the line of Con- necticut avenue extended, Mr. Newlands, as has been stated in Tue Srar, has purchased large tracts of land on the other side of the Gccuasceanenteany mes District line in Maryland. He owns a tract of ct od about 1,000 acres at the head of Connecticut y= avenue extended in Maryland, and here will be pore stony oy the northern terminus of the new railroad * is line. It is proposed to subdivide this land and * mon aaa establish there a suburban settlement. Along ms ae26 Connecticut avenue extended Mr. Newlands owns about 750 acres of land and it is th tention to develop that property. The series of purchases represented by these holdings constitutes the most extensive real estate trans- actions ever made in this District, and the plans now to be carried out comprise not only the building of the railroad but other means of developing the property on the same magnifi- cent scale as that in which the original purchase Was made.

As may be seen by consulting a map of the District the new railroad along Connecticut avenue will run parallel with the Georgetown and Tenleytown electric road on the Tenley- town road, which is now being completed to the District line, From this latter point it is proposed by those who have recently acquired large tracts of land in the vicinity of Bethesda to build an electric road along the old turnpike with the view of ultimately extending it all the way to Rockville. This proposed road will form «# junction with the Tenleytown electric road at the District line, or rather will be a continuation of it. In the event that the Bal- timore and Ohio Railroad Company build their line from Knowles’ Station, on the Metropolitan Branch, to the Potomac river it will pass through this section, that is if the line of the surveys already made be followed. ‘This addi- tion to the railrosd facilities will, it is believed, be very important, A CROSS COUNTRY ROAD. Still another electric road is being built to connect with the Teulytown electric road at the District line. The Messrs. E. and E. Baltz- ley, who a couple of years ago acquired a large tract of land along the Conduit road, this side of Cabin John Bridge, are the projectors of this new road. It will start from a point on the Conduit road about midway in their prop- erty, which has @ frontage of some two miles on that road. The line will then continue through the fields, a distance of about three miles, to the District line and its junction with the Tenlytown electric road.

THE SPRING GLORIES OF CENTRAL PARK—THE CLIMAX OF FASHION REACHED IN THE FOUR-IN- MAND PARADE—THE FOUR HUNDRED HOBNOBBING WITH THE MILLION. Correspondence of Tax Evexrxe Stan. New York, May 90, With the four-in-hand parade of last Satur- day the season in Central Park virtually closed, and the shining horses and glittering equipages which made the scene there such a brilliant one will soon be scattered all over the country in the places where the pleasure seekers coa- gregate, from Long Island up to Maine. The prancing fours were skilfully engineered through the crowded drives of the park by their smateur drivers in the uniform of the Coaching Club, all of whom made it their aim to emulate the statuesque imperturbability of the profes- sional coachmen, but one or two of them fell a degree short of the standard of stolidity and looked a little anxious. Coaches and horses and top-booted footmen were all models of elegance, but the real attraction of the parade was the passengers on top. One or two of the drivers fea only plain, ordinary men in after- noon suits and silk hats for passengers, but this imposition upon the public was received with openly exprossed disgust, Mrs, Cleveland adorned Mr. Belmont’s box seat, and on most of the other coaches lovely faces smiled over radiant toilets. 4 DAZZLING BEAUTY SHOW. The surroundings of the parade added greatly to the spectacle. The day was glitter- ing with the blue and gold of May sky and sun- shine, anda solid mass of carriages, four or five abreast, filled the flower-scented and shaded drives, driving slowly along in the crush or massed by the policemen at the sides when the parade paased. Every whim and vagary of fashion is displayed in the brilliant toilets which show so dazzlingly under the high light of the afternoon sun. Nothing seems too gay or too elegant to appear in for driving, and the effect of such an endless pro- cession of beautifal costumes and faces under the slight shade of the dainty and airy butter- flies of tulle or lace parasols is fairly bewilder- ing. But one can not help a passing wonder if these slim end graceful young matrons and maids in the wonderful costumes of lavonder and old rose of palest grays and soft, exquisite greens will develop into the solid and ponder- ous elderly women whose blazing diamonds and sumptuous gowns only attract attention to their hard, worn faces where the most artisti- cally-applied cosmetics do not conceal deep wrinkles. FIFTH AVENUE VS. THE BOWERY BELLE. But whatever their future may be the young women are undoubtedly charming now, and present hundreds of picturesque illustrations of that flower of civilization—a per- fectly groomed and costumed girl. There is a good deal of talkin some of the papers about the beauties of Grand street and 6th avenue, the modest violets of the shops and factories, who attract no attention but have really more natural charms than the daughters of the 5th avenue millionaires. But the talk is rather poetry than plain facts. There can be little question that Paris would unhesitatingly be- stow his apple upon the girl who has been born and bred among the most favorabie surround- ings, who has had from her cradle every ad- vantage of air, exercise and diet, whose minutest details of hair, teeth, figure and com- plexion have been rather more carefully at- tended to than her education or her soul's sal- vation, and who can clothe the finished pro- duct of all this care in the studied creations of the most artistic dress makers in the world, and carry it with the quiet ease of manner that ia the perfection of grace and is only achieved by the well-bred woman who has learned to be unconscious of herself. THE HOI POLLOI AT PLAY. One has an opportunity of comparing these differing types in the park, for nowhere in the world can there be a more complete exhibition of the democratic and the aristocratic. The entire area is alive on a bright Saturday after- noon, not only with private carriages, but with overflowing public ones, in which’ one can drive comfortably for the whole circuit for twenty-five cents, and with thousands of pedestrians, Laboring men are here with their wives and families and, indeed, all sorts and conditions of men are represented. ‘The lakes are teeming with boats, the play grounds swarming with boys and young men energet- ically engaged in foot ball and base bail and up in the North Meadows it seems ag if all the young people in town were playing tennis in every variety of gay costume. Over on the mall thousands are congregated to hear the band play, tiptoeing crowds strive to see over each other's shoulders where the monkeys disport themselves and throngs pour in to see the won- ders of pictures and statuary in the museum, and everywhere there are children, thousands of them, tumbling over the grass, gathering dandelions, dancing around May poles, singing and shouting and reveling in the only glimpse of the country many of them ever and in spite of the crowds there are beautiful quiet walks and, especially up in the north end of the park, rocky, shady glens, where waterfalls splash down and birds sing and squirrels ran across the grass, and one scarcely hears a foot- fall or sees a sign of human nearness. - Tru Central Park is the people's playground. m: than all her splendid buildings, her big bridge, her gorgeous churches and residences and treasures of wealth and art, the glory of New York. WHY NEW YORKERS DON’T MISS THE FAIR, When one sees all these beauties and the crowds who appreciate and enjoy them it seems more than ever astonishing that a few month: ago there was a wild clamor to sacrifice mu of it to the noise and dust and commotion of a great, tumultuous exposition. Big as the park is it is clearly shown to be inadequate to the city’s growing nceds by the fact that very re- cently five thousand acres have been farther up for park purposes and thit 000 is to be spent at the rate of #1 year for laying out parks in the low crowded parts of the city, Alr been purchased for this purpo: most densely crowded sections in the world, the famous Mulberry Bend, immortalized in Mr. Harrigan’s classic drama, “The Leather Patch,” In process of time New York wili be one of the most thoroughly provided cities in the world with park privile though #1,- 000,000 yearly does not go as far in the acquisi- tion of land here as might be supposed. A tract of 50 feet by 100 near the corner of Canal and Broadway was on Tuesday bid in by the owners at $370,000, and that is by no meftns a top price for business property. THE DARKER SIDE. But not to paint the town in too rosy a red— not the nightly red, but lestial rosy red, love's proper hue”—and cloy you with ga lawns and sweet girls, let me recail the darker side, the oseuro to this too dazzling chior. The Fassett investigation has opened the most dis- gracefal and dangerous police scandals of re- cent date It brings to the surface clear proof that the “‘guardians of the peaco’ are in reality the paid guardians of the vilest types of the community. The assarance with which the police dignitaries testify to the mot Most notorious wretches and their vile is simply ineredi ble. That auy other cause of such blindness, dea fess wud paralysis of moral smell exists beyond plain cash thé community refuses to believe. But the agitation, though obstructed at every turn by the police, is mak- ing headway and must result in purihcation. KEENAN’S RETURN, Quite as marvelous # piece of impudence is the return of John Keenan, the “Bismarck” of the boodlerg, from his self-imposed exile in Canada, He had no difficulty in raising the 340,000 bail required to let him walk tho ts a free man and he may now be found in old haunts as if nothing had happened. Very few are sanguine enough to hope that he will suffer for his detiant course. Col. Fellows has proclaimed that he is unable to convict any more of the boodlers and they would be very dense not to accept such a broad hint to come home.

The Greatest of Spanish Matadors Re- tires From the Are Correspondence of Tax EvENtne Stam. Wiesnapen, Germany, May 19. Spain’s most celebrated bull fighter, Salvador Sanchez, yclept Frascuelo, has recently retired from the arena after twenty-five years of dexterous combat with the Andalusian bull. The event took place publicly in the amphi- theaterat Madrid on the 13th of May in the presence of an immense concourse of specta- tors, made up of the wealth, beauty and dignity of Spain, who had come together from all parts of the kingdom, as well from Portugal and southern France, to do farewell honor to this greatest of all matadors. There was a fine Program, six bulls were dispatched by Fras- enelo in his most masterly manner amid the plaudits of the spectators, and then came the culminating feature of the day, the shearing of the Samson in the face of the multitude, as is the Spanish wont. This consists, after the spectacle of bull killing is ended, in the ing matador having the small cue at the back of the head, which is the distinguishing professional mark of the ball fighter, formally clipped offas a token that the business solemuly renounced for all time. This cue it is necessary for every torero to wear at the back of his head, in order that the bag of hair indispensable to the old Andalusian costume may be fastened to it. The amphitheater in which this ceremony took plaee in the present instance is a gigantic structure, holding 14.000 spectators, and #o great was the popularity of Frascuelo and the pressure for seats at it that no ticket of admission was to be had for less than 15 francs, and boxes sold as high as 500 francs, The retirement of Frascuelo wae an event to these people almost as important as the fall of an empire. The demonstration was most enthusiastic. The spectators screeched themselves hoarse and the scenes in the arena are said to have baffled description. The en- thusiasm of the Spaniards, especially of the ladies, hardly knew any bounds, and no greater uproar ever greeted a conquering hero return- ing from a suecessful war. Farewell, Frascuelo. A long farewell to all such greatness! And would to God that with you went the whole bloody show! 8. sonia eau AT THAD.

Hexar R. Exuror, gaan ot Ma Mover Savap at BAcw's “Star” sale, Vila” To | It was | An land, Cal. One of the most horrible railway accidents ever known in California occurred at 1:40 o'clock yesterday afternoon. when the local train connecting at Oakland with the ferry boats from San Francisco ran through an open draw bridge over the San Antonio creek at Webster street, Oakland. The yacht Juanita had just passed through the draw when the train appeared going in the direction of Alameda, The draw-bridge keeper endeavored ‘at once to close the bridge, but it was too late, and the engine, with its tender and first car, which was filled with passengers, plunged into the river, which was here quite deep. The engineer, 8am Dunn, and Fireman O'Brien went down with the engine. The former, when he saw that the bridge did not close, reversed the lever, but the momentum of the engine was too great to be stopped in time. The weight of the engine and the first car broke the couplings and left the other two cars of the train standing on the track. The second car ran about a third of the way across the bridge and stopped, but the jar was sufficient to break open the front ot the car, and many passengers were thrown into the water. e first car, which had followed the engine to the bottom of the muddy estuary, soon rose, and such of the passengers as had escaped were picked up by the yachts and other boats which gathered at the scene. The trainmen and the rest of the passengers lent their aid to the work of rescuing and when the train arrived from Oakland the car was drawn into shallow water, and the boats began drag- ging the creek for bodies. The train was in charge of Conductor Rerath and an extra crew, it being a holiday. The conductor stated that probably twenty-five persons had met their ath. The top of the passenger coach was cut opon as soon as it was raised above tho water and the work of removing the bodies commenced, ten being taken out in quick suc- cession, Engineer Dunn was not to be found and it was believed he was beneath his engine. The fireman, it is thought, escaped by jumping. Three women and three girls were taken from the water alive and removed to the receiving hospital. Another young lady died soon after being taken from the water. The news of the accident created intense excitement in Oak- land and thousands of pesple flocked to the morgue and to the scene of the wreck. At the morgue the bodies were laid out as soon as re- ceived to await identification. The body of F. P. Robinson, which was among thuse’ taken from the hole cut in the roofot the car, was among the first removed and was taken in charge by Coroner Evers. The bodies of six men and two women were brought in soon after, some of the bodies being at first left at — the is hos- ital, where the injured were also taken. na short time thirteen bodies lay on the floor and on the marble slabs of the morgue await- ing identification, Many heartrending scenes were witnessed as the friends came forward to claim their dead. The list of the identified is as follows: Martin Kelly of Oakland, assistant chief wharfinger for the stato; A. H. Austin of Austin & Phelps of San Francisco; Miss Flor- ence Austin; Mrs, Bryan O°Connor, widow of the deceased member of O'Connor, Moffatt & Co., San Francisco; J. R.
