THE ROLLING ROAD. Sketches of the Alerandria and Lees- burg Turnpike. HOW IT GoT ITS NAME. Rolling Hogsheads of Tobacco Down Alexandria in the Early Days—Some Of the Scenes It Has Witnessed and the hanges That Have Been Made. —__.+_——_ Written for Tar Fvexino Stam N THE old times, when the country around what is now the District of Columbia was rich in the production of to- bacco; when Alexandria, now so interesting in its historic recollections was an important depot of American trade, the great hogsheads of the leaf tobacco used to be moved from the country about the headwaters of the Po- tomac into the ware houses further dowa the river by a simple process, No trucks or wagons were used, but the tobacco was packed tightly in the hogshead, some pulling gear was attached and astecr and mule were put one ahead of the other before it, and it was rolled along the road to its destination, and thus the principal route for this travel came to be known as the Rolling road. ‘The beautiful city that we live im bas sprung up almost under our very eyes. From the time when John Randolph of Roanoke fell from his horse about where Washington Circle now is, and lay wallowing and roaring in the mud, remote from any habitation, to the present day, is not many years in the life of a city. The history of Washington is thus al- most contemporary history, but all around our boundaries are points teeming with recollec- tions of remoter times. The famous old dwell- ing grounds, the noble old estates and their noble owners, the important places of colonial or revolutionary happenings of importance, have all received attention and have had the benefit of description, but, strange to say, the historians have overlooked the roads around us, THE TOBACCO ROLLING ROAD. Through the heart of the town of Falls Church runs what used to be known as the Tobacco Rolling road. The quiet place of which it forms the principal thoroughfare is one of those prosperous communities, which are be- coming more numerous each year, which are fed by the overflowing population of Washing- ton. Without the aid of clainorous advertising it has grown into proportions that are fair to look upon. There is a peaceful, placid air about Palis Cherch which makes it a most en- tiemg place of retreat to the busy city man. Nestled in a lovely valley, with the tail bills around it, from the summits of which the city can be seen lying white and red in the dis- tance, it has all the natural advantages to make itattractive. @nfortunately, like most subur- ban towns, it is but a dormitory. Except for a tew women and children the houses are empty ail day. Not until late in the afternoon and in the evening, after the train from the city has deposited 1ts load, is Falls Church inhabited. It may be described in a single sentence. It is suburb of Washington. But who shail tell the history of the road which intersects it? Silently, for over two cen- turies, it has looked upon succeeding genera- tious of men and horses. It has seen the frisky colt bound gayly over its stones and ruts, and it has presented the same uneven surface for his feet when age and hard work have stiffened his old joimts. And the boy just learning to ride isthe same to the road as the old man who jogs quietly along toward the last stage in life’s journey. Just as mariners love the sea, just as men and cats become at- tached to the houses in which they have lived for many years, so do the people who travel a certain road year in and year out come finally to have a certain affection for it Koxds have expression, too, Stretching along, yeliow in the hot sunsbine. how weary and tiresome they look! What a difference there is between the ragged old road that has seen bet- ter days, the stones that were once its founda- tion sticking defiantly up—a road out at elbo: as it were—and the smooth new road that looks so rich and prosperous! BACON, THE REBEL OF 1676, More than 200 years ago, when Nathaniel Bacon of Virginia, the rebel of 1676 and the forerunner of the rebels of 1776. defied and conquered the tyrannical old colonial governor, Sir William Berkeley, there marched from the Potomac country to oppose the victorious ad- Yenturer 1,000 men under the galiant Col. Breut, and the part of the wilderness that they came from and the route by which they marched was the region of the Rolling road. It is a pity, but it seems to be undeniable, that Col. Brent's men, being frightened by the tales they heard of Bacon's successes, ran inconti- nently away before they had had a glimpse of the enemy. It was some years after this, and when tobacco became Virgit aple produe- tion, that the real roadcame gradually into ex- istence. Such a road grew, and was not made. Wherever the obstructions were the least, wherever there was a partial clearing, wherever the streams that must be crossed were most shallow, the traveler directed his course. One person followed another and soon the road be- came an established track of travel. BRADDOCK’S ARMY TRAVELED IT. In the heyday of Virginia's pride and pomp it was gay with the country gentry, interchang- ing visite or wending their way southward to the fashionable routs and drums that were so irequent in Alexandria. or perhaps to attend a fine masked ball in the long room of the city tavern, The old tavernstill stands, and the oid Jong room may still be seen by any one who cares to penetrate the boxes and furniture that are stored there. And in the year 1755 the Kolling road saw Braddock’s army and the pon- derous chariot of the honest old general him- self—tor his headquarters were near its ter- minus, and he must have jolted over itsstumps and ditches immediately before he started on his fatal expedition against Fort Duquesne. And the youthful Col. Washington, who volun- teered upou the British general's staff, had rid- den over it before. for he probably went bs this Foute from Alexandria to Winehester, when he wi on public business for Gov. Dinwiddie, and Dinwiddie bimself must have been familiar with it, And then it was the way tothe old Fails Church, the ancient edifice which still stands and from which the _ THE EVENING were frequent and all the straining and pulling in the world could not prevent a frequent stick- ing fast in the mud when the roads wore heavy from rains, There were probably few routes of travel in this conntry of bad roads much worse than the Rolling road. It lay through woods and over steep and through valleys where the water ¢ in marshes and even = small = inkes. ‘hei were fow if any bridges and the streamd that must be forded often ran high and awift, It was not untilsome time after the year 1810, when Macadam, father of the good roads of England. made bis report to the British parliament on roads and road making, that 9 serious attempt at building ronds made in Virginia. and among the first and finest to be constructed was the Alexandria and Leesburg turnpike, which followed substantially the track of the old Rolling road, IT GETS A NEW DRESR. The old highway now appeared in a new dress, The stumps wore removed, bridges were brit, tho steep, precipitate inclines were rendered easier of ascent and descent and for the first time the road was given a bed to lie upon. It ran and still runs between Alexan- dria and Leesbur; nd counects with the famous “Valley ptk It was a fine road thea aud is nota bad road now, but the proudest purpose to which it used to be put has loug since passed out of date. Every day the sixty miles that stretch between Alexandria and Leesburg were traveled over between sunrise and sunset by the stage coach. Old residents across the river still remember it. and it bore a reputa- tion second to no other stage route in America. It was famous for its fine horses, and famous for for its skillful, rapid drivers. Through Falls Church, then a little hamlet, the stage went bounding along ata certain hour each day, and the road and the coach and the horses were the oceasion of just pride to every per- sou who dwelt along tne route. Those were the golden days when the prosperity of the Roiling road had reached its highest point, Its history since the stage coach was abol- ished has been the history of the state in which it lies. War came and deep ruts were worn into its surface by the wheels of the army wagona, Afterward the negro thatused to drive over it and was, like the mule he drove, a mere piece of property, purchasable or saluble, jogged along happy and free. It suflered dam- age by the fierce struggle that accomplished this freedom, for it bore much of the heaviest marching and countermarching that occurred, but it has been repaired since then, and while it has not yet recovered all its former prestige, it nevertheless undergoes improvement every year, ? Such is the story of the Rolling road, hinted at rather than told. Where is the writer who will dig and delve among the musty records of the past and unearth its full authentic his- tory? A work so unique and so iuteresting would mect with a hearty appreciation from the world. Henxuy Hamitron. see A UNIQUE FIND ID Houses of Christians in the Fourth Century Unearthed. A house has been discovered in Rome which belonged to Christians in the fourth century. The Emperor Julian in A.D. 361 caused two Christian chamberlains of the palace to be strangled in their own house and buried in the cellar because they refused to renounce their religion. Julian’s successor, Jovian, caused a more modern town has taken its name, and not £0 pious a proceeding as the church going. but equally popular with the masculine population o: old Virgimia, it was traveled over by many @ party on the way to an exciting cocking match, and its woods echoed in the evening to the lond shouts and bacchanalian laughter of the gentlemen who had partaken too freely of sack or usquebaugh. OLD-FASHIONED JOLLITY. What gadabouts our ancestors in Virginia snd Maryland were! They were always visit- ing one another, and dancing and making love aud having dinner parties, never content with quiet solitude, always on the road in chariots or on horseback. No part of the old dowinion was gayer than the territory between the Poto- mac and the Kappahannock rivers, knownas the Northern Neck, and the Rolling road saw much Of this ol ioned jollity. It was not con- sidered a crime in those days for » gentleman wo get drunk,and when a masculine dinner party occurred the ladics rather expected \ueir busbands and brothers to come home tipsy. “We have supped and the gentlomen have not returned yet.” says the journal of a Young lady of the Northern Neck im 1732. “Lucy and myself are in « peck of trouble for fear they should return drunk. Sister bas had our bed moved in her room. Just as we were undressed and going to bed the kentlemen arrived and we bad to scamper. doth tipsy!” It must have been a singular sight to sce the lady of the house, having sent the girls to bed, herself finely arrayed “in » biue lute-string habit, taffeta apron and hand- kerchief,” receive these bewigged, bepowdered, kuickerbockered gentlemen as they reeled into the great hall with their three-cornered gold- luced hats knocked over their eyes.

This story and the cellar beneath has remained unaltered till it was a short time ago uncovered. That portion which containa the evidence of its having been owned by Christians is thus described in Chambers’ Journal: So far fonr large chambere have been cleared aswell as two smalier ones—divans we may call them—and a great deal of that portion of the Louse devoted to domestic purposes. One noble hall ha frieze of eleven nude figures, holding festoons of flowers and fruit,cach figure about three feet six inches high, drawn with perfect grace and mastery. Between the fig- ures are peacocks and ducks pacing in easy at- titudes and birds fly among the garlands, The vaulting of this chamber is covered with an in- tricate pattern of vines trailing in all directions, with children picking grapes and scaring birds, One bird bas pounced on a mouse, and is peck- ing itto death. This chamber belonged al- most certainly to the house of the brothers’ parents, and the painting to a period before the family embraced Christianity, not that there is any particular heathen symbol in the decora- tiou, or that the early Christians objected to representations of the nude, but that the qual- ity of the drawing is superior to the age of Constantine and is determined to belong to the third century at the latest, The tabliaum, or grand reception room of the house, however, leaves no doubt as to the religion of the owners of the house. On the a represented Moses removing his shoes before he approaches the burning bush; also a woman with Lands uplifted in prayer, ‘In two places in the house are paintings representing & vessel of milk and two sheep, oue pproach- ing aud the other turning away—a well-known Iabolic representation found in the Cata- combs—the vessel signifying the “sincere milk of the word,” which some receive and others reject. d ‘Tho Padre Germano observed that the plaster of the wall, the plaster Inid on to receive the Painted decorations, was in one place raised in & sort of blister. He picked it and from under the plaster came forth a ieaden seal with the initials of Christ thereon, The Romans were wont to lay leaden seals stamped with the image of the emperor in the foundations of their buildings. Here the plasterers must have held the leaden seal with the symbol of their Heavenly King with one finger against the wall while they plastered over it to fix it in place, to show to after age: that the work had been done by Christians, ers This cellar having been cleared of earth Padre Germano noticed that the vault above had been rudely cut through, forming a rough hexagonal hole. Moreover, steps were found leading upward, and these, on being cleared, Jed to a age, at the end of which was a win- dow wit grating, exactly over the place of buriai of the martyrs. This was the window through which pilgrims let down ribbons to touch the tomb, But what was peculiarly in- teresting here was a series of paintings repre- senting on one side the martyrdom, on the other the figures of the martyrs themselves and others bringing baskets of offerings in their hands, As these paintings certainly beiong to his time, and as he was a contemporary with the martyrs, it is not impossible that we have in Lis series actual portrait. * * * In con- clusion we must point out that this discovery is absolutely unique. Many heathen mansions have been disinterred, but this is the only house that bas been found that unmistakably belonged to Christians. In another way it is unique—it is the sole extant sample of a three- storied Roman house. One was uncovered at Pompeii, but the walls fell. Here the walls are intact, built into those of a church. coe The Athletic Girl.

C.. SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 15. Ld THE TRAIN RUNNER. A Few Inside Facts Concerning Rall- roading. A “STAR” REPORTER INTERVIEWS A TRAIN RUX- NER—THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN EASTERN AND WESTERN ROADS—A FATAL ACCIDENT AND A THRILLING INCIDENT. The week of October 19-25, 1890, will long be remembered in railroad circles for the great number of railroad accidents that occurred during that period and the deep impression made upon newspaper readers, Three were re- ported Yhursday morning of that week, all re- sulting in loss of life or injury to travelers. Saturday wound up the fatefal week’s record with three more of these disasters. The fall months have been unusually prolific of wrecks, collisions and derailments, and the public looks forward with fear to the coming of winter when, if the proportion is maintained, disasters will become alarmingly freqnont. Six such accidents as that week produced must be the result of some geueral! cause; either a slackening of discipline or a deterio- ration in roadbeds or rolling stock. They pre- sent a dark picture for contemplation, the two bright spots in which wore the heroic display of courage by Engineer John Barns, who, on the Lake Shore railroad, dashed his train through a pile of broken cars and by his brav- ery saved his train and the lives of over a hun- dred passengers, and Lee Wells, the engineer ofthe trainon the Baltimore and Ohio rail- road upon which Gov. Hill was returning to New York through Virginia from his stump- ing tour of the western states, ‘a A TRAIN RUNNER'S DUTIES. Knowing that news from the “inside” would be of interest to the reading public a Stan re- porter during the past week called upons well-known train runner to secure his views upon the cause of the numerous wrecks. A “train runner” is one who has the sole charge of running trains by telegraph and who is re- sponsible for the safety and prompt movement of every train from the time it enters his di- vision until it reaches its terminus. His duties for the most part are of a routine character unless a wreck occurs or a train is behind time entering his division. Then his hard work be- gins. Freight trains running in the sume direc- tion as the one delayed, ona double track road, instead of taking the usual siding are sent on their way to a siding farther on, and onasinglo track road trains running in both directions are given new sidings for passing. ‘The train runner has to depend entirely upon the relia- bility of the telegraph operators under him at the different stations, and whenever one of these subordinates betrays his trust it is oniy by the greatest good fortune that lives are uot lost and the road a loser of thousands of doi- lars, EAST AND WEST. “Let me call your attention toa fact that you perhaps have not noticed,” suid the train runner to the reporter in reply to his interro- gation, ‘and that is that a majority of the wrecks occurring west of the New York and Pennsylvania state lines are caused by the mis- understanding of orders, while those happen- ing on the roads in the cast are gencrally caused by defective rolling stock. The im- mense amount of travei in the east necessitat- ing double-tracked systems reduces very mate- rially the chances of an accident through tie carelessness of an employe, while the western roads, being single tracked, have to de- pend almost exclusively for the safety of | their trains to the efficiency and faithful- } nesh of their train runners, train men | | and operators, Between defective rolling stock on one side and employes on the other | the former is the most reliable, hence the larger score is on the western roads as to the multiplicity of wrecks. My twenty years’ ex- perience in train running has furnished mo humerous opportunities to study the science of railroading and has made me a warm advocate of high salaries, When this fact also dawns upon the minds of railroad directors with sufti- cient force as to cause a 20 per cent advance in wages of railroad employes, especially the operators, then the chances of accidents will be reduced fully one-third, It is the same in railroading ae in all other pursuits; when brains are put aguinst muscle the former has the prestige every time. THE CARELESS OPERATOR, “Let me illustrate this argument to you by citing two cases coming directly under my ob- servation wherein brains and a fair salary showed off to splendid advantage agaiust ignorance and s miserly pittance. here was located at # lonely station on a railroad in Pennsylvania a young man whose salary was $35 a month, twelve hours aday. { sent him an order for # south-bound train to take a siding about three miles below his sta- tion for a north-bound train and notified the north-bound train to that effect. This opera- tor instead of taking the order in tho “order book,” as he should have done, wrote it on a separate piece of paper, and in transcribing it in the book substituted a siding five miles far- ther south of the one I had senthim. Both engineers after receiviug their orders hastened to make first-class time, and as the road was single track they came together a mile below where they should have passed with a mighty crash, An engineer, two firemen, and a brake- mau were killed and about twenty cars re- duced to splinters as a result of this underpaid carelessness, ow note the difference, This illustration is located upon a road running into the nation's capital, ‘Time, 1879, when the road was single track, The operator in this case was paid a very fair salary, understood his business, and was bright and intelligent, HZ KNEW HIS BUSINESS. “The train leaving Washington at 3:30 P. mm. was given orders to remain at the end of the double track until the south-bound limited had passed. ‘Twenty miles up the road the limited was advised of this fact. For some cause limited failed to make the time expected and orders were sent to the office at the double track terminus for the north-bound train torun toastation siding three miles farther up the road. To the operator at this station orders were sent to hold limited until the north-bound train had taken the siding at his station, “The engineer of the limited, utterly oblivi- ous of the change in orders, was working his engine to its fullest capacity and literally few over the road, “As soon as the order was received the oper- ator lowered the red signal and as an extra pre- caution went out on the track with a red flag. Limited swung in sight a mile up the road and the whistle of the north-bound train came floating on the breeze to the operator's ears, He began swinging Iris flag, slowly at first and then, as no attention was paid to it, very vio- lently. Limited came on with a rush, the red flag still failing to draw the engincer’s atten- a. The operator knew that train had to be topped at his station or an accident spalling in its consequences would be the result. Tak- ing in the situation ata glance he stepped off the track and to the side and as the engine flew by dashed the flag through the cab window. Amid the shattered glass he discerned quickly moving forms and heard hoarse ejaculations. With a crash back flew the lever, sand poured upon tho rails and by the hardest kind of work on the part of both engineers both trains were slackened ap enough so that only the cow- catchers of ngines were damaged, “The engineer of limited in explanation of his non-recognition of the operator's signal said that some slight accident isa occurred to the fire box of his engine, and believing he had a clear track both he and his fireman were be- hind the boiler making repairs when the flag came flying through the window. It was a case of criminal negli sere on the engineer's partin not keeping a lookout, and but for the prompt action of the Operator many lives would have been sacritied.”* Indignant maiden—‘What did ‘mean, sir, pL) Cr- ageer ‘omm “Business, Tei iM bogs anil goods bed them, Daye it ange OR President X.M.T.R.R.
