THE PROPOSED LEGALIZING OF THE SIDINGS LAID WITHOUT AUTHORITY—THE SITUATION IN WASE- INGTON 48 SUMMED UP BY MR. MORBILL—WaT THE BILL I8 OPPOSED. In accordance with the request of several correspondents Tax Stan reprints the Atkin- son bill, H. BR. 2243. Tho full text is as follows: Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of Amer- ica in Congress assembled; That the construc- tion, maintenance and use for railway purposes of the turn-outs and sidings of the Baltimore and Potomac Railroad Company, now extend- ing from itsline between the Anacostia or Eastern branch of the Potomac river and the Long bridge, in the city of Washington, into the several squares of ground known and designated on the plat of the city of Washington as follows: Square 737, square 739, square 695, square northwest of square 695, square west of square 6:5, square north of sqnare 697, equare enst of square 642, square north of square 642, Square 641, square 3: square south of square’ 463, square 464, square $86, square 267, and square south of square 267, and the use and maintenance of its shops, stations and other structures now erected thereon is hereby legal- ized and confirmed. said tracks to be main- tained in such manner as wi!l least obstruct th public streets, avenues or alleys on which said tracks are laid, and to be under the supervis- ion of the Commissioners of the District of Co- Tumbia, Section 2 That it shall be the duty of the Commissionera of the District of Columbia, and they are hereby authorized and em: ered to grant the Baltimore and Potomac road Company permission to lay, maintain and use side tracks and sidings from the main line or lines of said railroad into any real estate in the said city abutting on the streets or avenues on which such line or such company is or may be situated, which may be used’ or occupied for manufacturing, commercial or other business purposes by parties desiring the use of such facilities, Such side tracks or sidings shail be laid under the direction of said Commissioners and in such manuer as shall least obstruct the use of the public streets for ordinary purposes. Section 3. That the Baltimore and Potomac Railroad Company is hereby authorized and empowered to acquire for the purposes of its business any one or more of the squares of ground in the city of Washington south of the line of the said railroad and uorth of L street and north of the Eastern branch and east of 13th strect southeast, and any one or more squares ubutting on the line of said railroad on Maryland and Virginia avenues, and to extend, maintain and use tracks from convenient points on the line of said railroad into the said property, and to cross such streets as may be hecesaary for that purpose. and to construct thereon auch facilitics as may be necessary for its business, and to maintain such facilities in connection therewith; such tracks, where they cross streets, to be laid under the direction of the Commissioners of the District of Columbia and in such manner as shall least obstruct the use of said streets for ordinary purposes, And in case said company shuli be unable for any reason to acquire such properties or any por- tion thereof by purchase they may be acquired by said company in the manner provided by sections numbered from 648 to both inclu- sive, of the Revised Statutes, relating to the District of Coiumbia; but nothing herein con- tained shall authorize the condemuation of any church or school property or any property of the United States, TRE SIDINGS REFERRED To, The official records of the Commissioners and the reports of the commission of public grounds show that every one of the sidings into the above-named squares which were con- structed for railroad purposes and not for busi uess firms was either constructed without a permit from the Commissioners or under a per- mit from them after the Supreme Court of the United States had declared that such permis- sion must be obtained from Cong: or 80 constructed as to cross and illegally occupy a reservation. These documents also show that not one of the sidings west of 41¢ street, along the space from which the removal of surface tracks is most urgently demanded, has any claim to have been coustructed in a belief of its lawfu'ness and without damage to the pub- lie reservations or open spaces. One objection to the legalizing of the railroad’s illegal sur- face tracks is that it gives away for nm i the use of certain open spaces or reservations im- proved as parks in other parts of the city, TOR MORRILL'S SUMMARY, Concerning this occupation of the public property Senator Morrill has said: “The Baltimore and Potomac Railroad Com- pany have placed a freight depot ou square 386 without any authority of law and in spite of notice of objections against the selection of the te. ‘They have also invaded reservations 174, 178, 241 and 309, although prohibited from en- tering any lot or square owned by the United States, aud it appears to be the readiest jand jumper of the “betwes 2 5 * & 1 New tol street, where, by the map of 1572, it would appear that one track only was authorized or contemplated, there are now not less than some of which even trench upon Jersey avenue and South Capi- eight trac! the sidewaik of reservation 17. In addition to this four tracks cross and cover reservation 174, four other tracks cover reservation 178, and four more tracks cross and cover reservation 241, All of these. as well as the track across New Jersey avenue to square 737, though short, bave been made without the slightest authority and in defiance of law. These veservatious ere of the triangular shape peculiar to Washington and are greatly appreciated by its citizens, but the aggressive war powers of appropriation by thie steam railroad seem to be autocratic, and an act of Congress is looked upon appar- ently with contempt. The four tracks which go over reservation 174 also cross New Jersey avenue and ist street southeast without any legal authority whatever, nor is there any au- thority of law for the four tracks which have invaded reservation 178 to cross Half street heast. There is still another branch of tracks over the small reservation 109, which crosses F street without auchority of law. Having only an implied right to pass through the large reservation 101, of 2!¢ acres, with one track, or at most with two, they have placed upon italarge group of tracks, which are constantly covered with trains or with loaded or empty cars, ‘Ibeir principal freight delivery is here and on the public avenues and streets. Heavy freight is daily unloaded from daylight until dark along Virginia avenue from 6th to 7th str and along Maryland avenue from 9th to 13!y street, for which there is no authority of jaw. The ‘most important rese Vation as well as many minor ones in the south partof the city have thus been seized by the railroad company, and instead of being in roved and made a possible decoration they ave been made a poxitive nuisance, The desecration is keenly felt by citizens in thi« vicinity, who observe that favors such aa were granted aud protected elsewhere are here de- nied,” THE GREATEST OBJECTION to the measure is that it confirms and perpetu- ates the surface tracks, against which most of the progressive large cities of the country are ies, Washing- ton’s grade crossings are as obstructive and deadly as those of any other city. Senator Morrill says concerning them: “In addition to the occupancy of important portions of Dela- ware, Virginia and Maryland avenues there are now within the city more than sixty crossings of streets and avenues at grade by these steam railroads, as perilous as sixty spring gun traps, and ali tending greatly to the depreciation of the value of real estate in the city, as wellas to the multiplication of deplorable accidents.” Cut in a Bar Room Fight. Saturday night two colored men, Levi Jones and William Griffin, met in John Eimer’s saloon on 7th street, where they became involved in a fight, whereupon Jones produced a sharp in- strument of some kind, probably a razor, and drew the sharp edge of it across Grifiin’s face, cutting throuzh his cheek into his mouth, He also cut Griftin’s arm. Jones was arrested and locked up, but the case could not be tried in the Police Court this morning because Griftin is still confined to a bed in Freedman’s Hospi- tal, where he was taken by the police Satur: night Trains Delayed By a Smash-Up. There was a smash-up on the Pennsylvania railroad early this morning. The train which was demolished was one of open cars loaded witb manure. The accident caused several hours’ delay in the trains due here this morn- ing from beyond the scene of the disaster. Shot by a Jealous Lover.

Saturday evening about 7 o'clock there was an interesting and exciting scene at the corner of 434 street and Pennsylvania avenue. The chief actors were William T. Sweet, who keeps plumbing establishment on 43s street near the Metropolitan Church, and Mrs. Kate Candler. Mrs, Candler is the wife of Mr. William Candler, who resides on I street. Her mother lives on 434 street, only « few doors trom the saloon at the corner of the avenue. Mrs, Candler was sitting on her mother's step when Sweet, who was slightly acquainted with her, came along. Mra, Candler save he made use of language about her and ber bus»and which was extremely indecent, Instead of be- coming excited and wanting to settle the matter then and there Mra, Candler remained perfectly quiet until she saw Sweet enter the saloon. Sue then sent s child around on the avenue to purchase @ horse whip, and ® few minutes the child came skip- Ping along the pavement cracking the Weapon which was to be used on Mr. Sweet. Putting the whip beneath one of ber gar- ments Mrs. Candler walked down 4!y street until she reached the side door leading into the saloon. Sweet was near the door at the time and Mrs. Candier experienced no difficulty im securing an audience with him. She oniy beckoned for him and he came toward the door, evidently expecting only a pleasant conversa- tion with the lady. As quick asa flash she drew the whip and proceeded vo lay it on Mr. Sweet. There were « number of men im the saloon, but they did not interfere in the man’s behalf, Some one called to he it to him.” A large bulldog belonging to Fritz Reuter, the keeper of the suloon, also took part in the fracas, jumping betwee the participants and grabbing Mrs. Candler by the arm. Policeman Walliam Walsh, who was in the neighborhood at the time, witnessed the horse whipping aud be placed both Mrs. Cand ler and Mr. Sweet under arrest. Sweet in his version of the affair denied what Mrs. Candler attributed to him, but she insisted that what she said was true. In order to give both sides fair show the officer charged them with en- k8ging in an affray aud let them leave €10 col- lateral. Mrs. Candler, however, was not satisfied with Mr. Sweet's getting off with that amount of money, and she swore out # warrant charging him with using indecent language. The cases will be tried in the Police Court Weduvsday. ATTACKED BY A CAT. A South Washington Man Rescued Froma Tight Place by His Wife. Mr. and Mrs, W. D. P. King of 949 Virgin avenue southwest passed through an ex- perience early this morning that will uo doubt linger in their memory for s long time. Wine Mr. King and his wife were wrapped in slumber, at about 2 o'clock this morn- ing, « large-sized tom at entered the house through an open window, it is sup- posed, on a quiet hunt after the many birds, both stuffed and live, which are in the house, While the cat was meandering about the room Mr. King awoke and jumped from the bed to put the intruder ou, The cat darted for tho stairway »nd as he passed Mr. Kin struck him with his hand, knocking Thomes against the wall The blow aroused ail the savage instincts of the auimal aud he made a furious onslaught upou Mr. King, fixing his teeth in his right hand, Inccrating it severcly, and using his claws to good effect o his night robe. The noise of the stragg! alarmed Mrs. King and she bravely came to the rescue, driving the cat away from her hus- band, but the savage animal attacked her fiercely and wore her hand. For some minutes the battle raged furiously, until Mrs. King managed to secure a firm hold upon the cat's throat and choked it until it was insensible, Toen Mr, King wok it by the tail and dashed its head = against the wall until it was apparently dead. Mr. King threw it into the yard, and after bau- daging up their wounds he and his wife retired to finish out their might’s rest, Early this morn Mr. King went to the yard to see how the cat looked by daylight, but it was gone. It had doubtiess tuken ‘advantage of — the proverbia! remaining eight lives and crawled away to recuperate. —— ANACOSTIA, Gorxe To Bostox.—This suburb will be pretty well represented at the Lostun encampment next week.
