A special from Toronto says: A story is told in connection with Birchall’s caso that might have been made good use of by the defense had they been in possession of it. One evening last February or March a short, thick-set stranger entered Thompson's Hotel in Wood- stock and asked for anight’s lodging. He did not come in just after tho arrival of any train, nor yet did he come up to the hotel in a rig. He appeared excited and nervous and went at once to the room assigned him. Next morn- ing he appeared bright and early and paid his bill to thre clerk in such » way as to give the impression that he was suffering from an at- tack of deliriym tremens, He paid for break- fast, but did not eat a morsel and then disap- Peared and has never been seen since, Under his pillow later on was found a 38- eallber revolver with all chambers con- taining recently exploded cartridge shells. Tho revolver still remains in possession of Thomp- son. It has a black eer handle without any ‘ting. The two bullets found in Ben- well's head were 38-caliber bullets and the weapon from whieh thoy were fired has never turned up. “I think you will find when Birch: fession comes out,” said a Woodstock man, who is somewhat in the prisoner's confidence, ‘that the murder was committed in a carriage, Ben- well being shot by the sitting behind him.” +o ——— Winale Davis Will Not Wed.

TWo PLANS FOR EXPERIMENTAL LINES AXD BOUNDARIES PROPOSED BY CAPT. ROSSELE— THE GROUND TAKEN TO BE WITHIN THE LIMITS OF THE APPROPRIATION. The Rock Creek Park commission will meet again this afternoon and it is expected the pre- liminary work of the commission will be so far advanced whon the meeting is over that the commissioners will be prepared to go out into the field and begin to lay out their lines, Col. Robert was unable to attend the first meeting two weeks ago on account of illness, and his continued indisposi- tion will prevent his being present today. The other members of the commission, Gen. Casey, Gen. Boynton, Prof. Langley and Mr. R. Ross Perry, will probably begin at once the investi- gation of the subject on the field. Capt. Rosseill, who by law is thé executive officer of the commission, was requested at the last meeting to lay down tentative or ex- perimental lines for the proposed park to form & basis for the work of the commission, Ac- cording to law the ground to be taken MUST NOT EXCEED TWO THOUSAND ACRES, and between Klingle Ford bridge, the southern limit of the park, and the Blagden mill road, which is about a mile away along the tortuous creek, the width of the park is tobe at no point greater than 1,200 feet nor less than 600, of which not less than 200 feet shall be on either side of the creek. Capt. Rossell has laid out two sets of lines which he will submit to the commission, both of which, so far as area is concerned, meet the requirements of the law. He provides in both lans for the narrow strip between Klingle ‘ord bridge and the Blagden Mill road, by laymg out two hundred feet on the east side or left bank of the creck and 1,000 feet on the west side. This preference is given to the west both on account of the topography and the fact that the ground can, Capt Rossell thinks, be purchased for less money. Looking on the map one can see that from the point of the northern limit of this narrow strip the Blagden Mill road and the Broad Branch road divide, the former leaving the creck and extending in a northeasterly direction, while the Broad Branch road extends northwesterly. Capt. Kos- sell proposes as one tentative plan to follow th roads out in ach direction to points that will be about five thousand feet apart. Then this plan proposes to run two lines parallel with each otber and with the line of the creck, out the District line. THE PROPOSED BOUNDARIES. In other words, the proposed park will have the District line as its northern boundary and two parailcl lines, 5,000 fect apart, for the east and west boundaries, the sonthern bounda- ries being the Broad bBrench and Biagden Mill down to the point where. the narrow strip extending from the Blagden Mill road to Klingle Ford bridge begins. ‘This plan covers 1, 80 weres of ground, leaving a margin of 20 acres for necessary changes that might Le q ‘The park from Liacden Mill road tothe District line would be about a mite wide and three miles jong. Capt. Rossell, speaking to a AR reporter today, expr © opinion that this was all the plan the commission would need in its exper utal work. Of course there may be many causes that will iead thein to change the lines at different points. ‘the second plan lad down does not go by straight lines. Of course, the the south end of the park remains the same, ‘Then the hne spreads out aicng the Broad Branch road to the Rock Creek Ford road en the west and along the Blagden Mill rond on the east, South of Brightwood the park according to this plan les chictly on the west side of the creek, Brightwood, the lincs on the east side extend out toward the 7th street road and there is a corresponding decrexse in the width of the | gkround taken in on the west side of tho park. ‘This variation is made because in tie southern part the ground east of the creck is already hetd at such fizures that thero is doubt whether it could be obtained within the figures justified by the law, while above Lrightwood the region east of the creek is not only well adupted for park »nrposes, but, Capt. Rorsell thinks, ean be bon, b WITHIN THE LIMITS OF TH: APPROPRIATION. The park, as laid out, includes the old fort near the junction of the Military road and the | Daniel's road. Capt. Rossel, spexking of this, said he thought the old fort, which was one of tue line that tgrmed a protecting semi-circic about the city, should be preserved, It would, he thought, become an interesting feature of the park. ‘The other old earth forts have nearly ail disappeared before march of improvement. Capt. — Ror nas had prepared for the » commission field — maps park region, mounted so that they can be ear- ried in their pockets, He thinks the noxt step will be arcconnoisance of the region by the conrmissio in person, either on horseback or afoot, uch of the reg.on is inaccessible to carriages, there being no roads. GEN, BOYNTON WILL BE PRESENT. Gen, Boynton, who nearly ever since the first mecting of the commission has been absent from the city on business conuected with his duties as a com- missioner of the Chickamauga park, has returned, and wil be present at the meeting this afternoon. Gen, Boynton laughiagly remarked today that he did not think the business of condcmn- ing other pecpie’s property was likely to make aman very popular. Mr. K. Koss Perry since the last meeting has consulted the treasury officials and will be able to report to his colleagues tcday a satisfactory understanding as to the financial matters of the commis i ms to be tellowed, &e Mr. Pi that he thought the commission would be ready after today’s meet- ing to go at once into the field. He expected an appointment would be made this afternoon for a meeting of the commissioners on the ground. It was his opinion that they would explore the region, pick out as they went along the most pictur- esque parts and then try ¢o lay the lines zo as to include these parts, The commission will be aided somewhat in its preliminary examination by stakes that were driven along the vanks of the creck in the lower portion of the proposed park by Mr. Blagden. These stakes mark tho distances from the creek at different points, ~ THE LAW PROVIDES that when the commission has mapped out the park and filed the map with the recorder of deeds the ground included within the lines shall be held as condemned, It is claimed, however, that the title of the ground will not finally be vested in the United States until the owners have been compensated, The commision as they go along will get the best advice possible as to the value of the land and include within their lines only so much according tothe best information they can get, can be purchused for the $1,200,- 000 appropriated. In case a jury of condemnation makes awards exceeding their estimates the urea of the park will have to be cut down unleas Congress makes further provision. It is thought that much of the land will be acquired through condemnation proceedings in court, although there are some pieces which may be purchased by agreement with the owners. a Accident to Prof. Bischof Prof. Bischoff, the well-known organist, was run over on Saturday night and badly injured. He was taken to the music rooms of the Con- (Pager: Church and then removed to his ome, 1204 K street, where surgical aid was given, There were no internal injuries, but he received several cuts on the head and neck and was of etty badly shaken up from the shock, driver of the vehicle which knocked him down paused but for a moment and then drove rapidly off. oe Marriage Licenses.

Laylog of Rails on the Eckington Road | A Postponement Granted the Defendant Extension to Begin Soon. ‘The rails for the extension of the Eckington electric railroad are now being unloaded along G street, and in the course of a weck or ten days, says Col. George Truesdell, the president of the company, the work of laying the track will be begun. Owing to delays in consequence of experiments that have been in progress to secure an improved conduit of the under-ground electric wires the actual work of construction was not begun as early in the season as was originally intended. Col. Truesdell has determined to allow no further delays, and unless the conduit is ready to be put down within the next week or ten days he Proposes to construct the road and USE STORAGE BATTERY CARS, Under the terms of the charter horses can be used as the motive power, but Col. Truesdell says that the compauy docs not propose to take astep backward. Their road and its branches are now run by electricity, the overhead wires being in use, and he was desirous of introduc- ing the underground electric system in the new extension because it couid be operated in connection with the overhead system. Failing in securing a satisfactory con- uit, the next best substitute will be adopted, namely, the storage battery cara. The new ex- tension begins at New York avenue and 5th streets and’ runs thence along t! street and along G street to 15th street. Col. Truesdell expects that the new road will be in operation this fall. —<——___ DISTRICT GU’ NMENT.
