The Metropolitan branch and the | main line are to be joined at some point north of Eckington, the main line coming over from near Ivy City. Condemnation for passenger and freight stations and yards is provided for. THE TERMINAL COMPANY, Another scheme for all the city railroads is worked out ina bill before Congress, which charters a company to be known as the Term- inal Company of the District of Columbia, This company by the bill is authorized to lay out, construct, maintain and solely to operate all terminal facilities for steam railway bu: ness within the District of Columbia, and is given sole and exclusive rights within the cities of Georgetown and Washington to lay tracks for steam railroads, build depots and other houses, and to construct all necessary appurt- | enances for said railway business, The tracks are to be considered as # public highway, and may be freely used for the passage of and motive power of any individual or corporation upon making just compensation for such use. The dill also provides that within the limits of the city of Washington said track shall be laid and said depots, houses und appurtenances shall be constructed upon !and lying within the following limits: South of the south line of D street, south and east of 9th strect east ex- tended, west to the Potomac river and east to the Eastern branch, and north of the north line of F strect southwest extended. cast to the Eastern branch and between 6th and 7th strects | st, uorth of the first-mentioned line, except- | ing therefrom such portions of the Congress- | sional Cemetery as are within these limits and such portions of the aforesaid land as lie be- tween the enst line of 41¢ street and the west | line of ¥th street southwest, and north of the | south line of Maryland avenue southwest, and also temporarily on such other land east of the line of 2Uth street east as it will be necessary to uso to construct a double track be- tween tue land aforesaid and the west- ern end of the Eastern branch railroad bridge. | Immediately upon the passage of the act said corporation shall at once construct on the west | aide of 9th street west, between the boundaries | hereinbefore provided, a union passenger | depot depot large enough to accommodate the | pessenger trafic of all the railroeds centering | in the city of Washington, and upon plans to | he Commissioners of the Dis- | a tunnel ot tunnels under E street southwest, between the cast line of 4'¢ | street and the west line of 9th street wes! from the said union depot to the Long bridge; | a double track from the prosent tracks of the | Baltimore and Ohio railroad, upon the land | hereinbefore prescribed, to the said union | depot, suid tracks to be midway between 6th | and 7th streets east and to run under the grade of all stroets crossed exst of New Jersey avenue.

Condemnation proceedings are pro- vided for. TO USE THE FREE BRIDGE. Another company proposition is the bill char- tering the Georgetown and Union Bridge and Railway Company and granting the company the power to build and maintain an iron bridge on the piers of the present free bridge or aque- duct bridge from M street northwest to the District hne ou the Virgiuia side of the Potomac river.

Aud the company is antorized to lay tracks of the regu- | lar or standard guage for team railway pur- poses, and to use and utilize said tracks by run- | ning as many trains, operated by steam or otherwise, each way daily over said tracks and iron bridge as may be deemed requisite by said company. The bridge authorized shall be built and con- structed so as not to be nearer the water of the river than the top of the piers of the Aqueduct or Free bridge, which is entirely above high water mark. Said company shall also have the right to tunnel through the retaining walls and the approaches of the present bridge, support- ing said tunnel with a masonry arch. The bridge to be so constructed us not to interfere with the travel on the present bridge; ail trains to be hidden from the view of the driveway of the suid present bridge and approaches. Tho superstructure and driveway of the present bridge to be protected from danger by fire by an iron or other fireproof substance completely concealing the tracks, engines and cars of said company from the view of passengers or teams | crossing the driveway of the present bridge. | And it shall be lawful for said company to ac- | quire, by condemnation or purchase, land uc- cessary for peqgennrer and freight depots at the north end of the Aqueduct bridge, within the District of Columbia, and also the right to con- struct an approach from Water street, where the street now passes under the present bridge, to the northwest end of said iron bridge and te lay and uso tracks thereon, with power to acquire lend for said purpose by purchase or otherwise, WASHINGTON AND WESTERN. ‘Thero are also @ number of independent propositions for new roads wishing to enter the District. One of this character is the Wash- ington and Western, which wishes to come in over the river and through Georgetown. In fact the seeing’ apparent want of rail- road facilities in ‘getown has caused a number of roadsto bring out plans to supply the deficiency. The W: and Western asks leave to extend its line from the terminus of tho main line on the Virginia side of the river, and — river by s suitable bridge to the east «i and then following the line of the river bank in an eastwardly direction, and by way of Water street in town to Rock creck aad crossing said creek by a suit- wes a & | town, in the District of Columbia: Provided, double track within the aforesaid boundaries | 'That'in the construction of the road the line | Company shall be allowed to acquire, by con- | it wished along the entire course of the Balti- | Potoma able bridge, and thence by the most practica- ble route along Virginia avenue and 26th or ‘Zith streets west southwardly to the intersec- tion of said streets with the it com) shall erect and maintain suitable nger and freight stations, For the it to occupy a strip and Potomac or the Baltimore and Ohio.

Tothe Editor of Tue EVEXING Star: Your suggestion in today’s issue that the La- | fayette monument be placed in Iowa circle will, no doubt, be considered before the question is finally disposed of, and with the view that no ligible site may be overlooked attention is in- vited to that very beautiful and most centrally located park at the intersection of New York and Massachusett avenues and K street, known as Mount Vernon Square. There does not appear to be any good reason for changing the names of any of our parks, and as that in which the foundation for the monument has been built has by many long been known as “Jackson Square,” there can be no great harm in per- mitting it to so remain, while adopting the Mount Vernon Square in Washington as the abiding place for the monument to Lafayette, as Mount Vernon on the Potomac is the abiding place of the dust of his dearest friend.
