12 THE C ABLE CAR POWER HOUSE. Sa eee —- 4 BIG POWER HOUSE. ‘The Large Building to Be Constructed by the Washington and Georgetown Road. A STRUCTURE THAT WILL OCCUPY & WHOLE SQUARE FRONTING ON THE AVENUE—THE AR- RANGEMENT OF THE BUILDING—THE OFFICES AND ENGINE Room. N A FEW DAYS THE WORK OF LAYING the foundations of @ huge structure to be erected in square 255, which is located on the south side of Pennsylvania avenue opposite the National Theater, will be begun. All the buildings in the square have been removed and the entire space will be occupied by a building to be erected by the Washington and Georgetown Railroad Company. Some idea of the proportions of this building can be obtained when it is stated that it will have a frontage on the avenue of 240 feet, on 14th and 1374 streets 190 feet and on D street of 240 feet. ‘The six stories will rise to a height of 100 feet. ‘The primary object of this structure will be its use as a power house for the cable system which the company proposes to put down on the avenue and lith street. The com- pany will occupy only the first twostories and a building of that height would answer the pur- pose. But it was concluded that the location in the heart of the city and onone of the princi thoroughfares demended a structure somewhat more pretentious in architectural character than the actual requirements of the road make necessary. The design and plans of the build- ing as prepared by W. C. Boot, architect, are ample but eifective. THE GENERAL DESION. The scheme of the design is a series of arches marking the window openings and substan- tially buttressed at the corners by towers which finish at the roof witha parapet in harmony Tith the finish above the cornice of the —— ailding. arc! ten: oUt e Set sesseoees ten are another series of arches which terminate at the| spools, which will be turned by an immense upper story.

Stone, brick and iron will be used in the construction, the inte- rior having what is known as the slow burning ‘THE CABLES. The cables will be carried out of the power system of construction, which is regarded as| house through an underground conduit on fire proof. ‘Terra cotta tiling will be used in the partitions and asbestos as a covering for the floors. ‘The four upper stories will be ar- ranged in rooms of convenicnt size and will be supplied with power from the engine on the first floor, the intention being to lease this por- tion of the building for light manufacturing pm light and ai in all parts of a building of this arent size hae been solved Ly providing in the | The problem of how to secure | 14th street to the tracks in the center of the avenue.

The cable, however, that will run to the Navy Yard will pass around a large hori- zontal wheel or terminal sheave, as it is called, which is beneath the railroad track in the center of the avenue, and thence will be conducted to center a court 63x100 feet. ‘The rooms in each | {ie conduit, which underlies the center of the story will be arranged in two tiers, one tier | t the way to the Navy Yard.

There will be several clevators for the use of passengers, freight and cars. In the rear will tower a great stack 150 feet high, which will be connected with the fires under the boilers. ‘The new power house is located nearly as is practicable at the central puint be- tween Georgetown, the Navy Yard and Mount Pleasant. ‘The length of the present tracks of the road from Georgetown to the Navy Yard is five miles, 7th street being considered haif the distance.’ The 14th street line is two miles | and a half long. ‘The new power house located | which will run the cars over the entire line. ‘There will be a cable to the Ni % Yard, another to Georgetown and a third to Mount Pleasant.

(Correspondence of The Evening Star. Fatrs Cuvzcn, Va., February 25, 1891. ‘The weather is more remarkable than any- thing else with the farmer, since it interferes so much with his out-of-door affairs. The win- ter is mild, notably so the lowest temperature for one morning that Ihave recorded was 12 degrees. The roads are the worst that I have seen for years. But few, only those who are forced to go to market, go in with wagons. Peach buds on the few trees that the yellows have left alive show a perceptible enlargement. Asa rule there has been a bright, mild day, “a weather breeder,” between the rain storms. If the weather had been dry enough early pota- toes and early garden stuff might have been put in the ground for the last ten days or two weeks. For the really bad weather, blow and wind-up, wait for March. ‘More people have been here looking for loca- tions than any previous winter, and, as will be seen, several pieces of property have changed ownership. ‘The Sherwood farm of 120 acres of very de- rable land for building lots is now in the of asyndicate.

A stranger sat in the seat beside Representa- tive Tillman in the House yesterday. He was a young looking man, with smooth face and dark | grimy complexion, looking as he might have | been used to work ina coal mine or iron | is. Mer. Hanekel had ‘been: inf foundry. He was rather tall and slender and somewhat awkward in his movemen when he rose and walked about. His hands were rough = and — marked | with the scars of toil and the brawny wrists were not decorated with cuffs. He had a heavy chin and a month every line of which denoted firmness, even, perhaps, hardness, the expres- sion being set and not broken at any time by a smile. There was a blanknessabont his counte- nance, though mostof the linesshowed strong ex- pression, and a second glanee showed that this | was caused by the absence of an eye. ‘ihe | socket of his left eye was empty. He did not look like the man in whose company he was; in fact, there was a striking contrast be- tween them, yet there was something in the firmness of expression on each face that caused people to look from one to the other and make comparisons which might lead to the suspicion that they were brothers. GOV. TILLMAN OF SOUTH CAROLINA. ‘The man was a stranger to members of the House as well as to the public, but now and then when Representative Tillman would call | up some member and introduce him an ex- | pression of sudden interest would come over the member's face. After such an introduction the member would pass on and whisper to some of his col- leagues: “That's Tillman, the Farmers’ Alliance governor of South Carolina.” It was Gov, Tillman, about whom much has been said within the past few months. He docs not appear old enough to be agoternor, aud he does not look like the governor of a state like South Carolina. He seems more like a son of the bustling and hardy west. His conversation is not finent, but the lack of that quality seems to come from a contempt for talk and not from a lack of capability. He is evidently a man of brains. A SHORT TALK. A Sra reporter had a few minutes’ talk with him. His words came out with a snap, | his sentences are short and reluctantly uttered. He said he had been so busy since his inaug- uration that he bad not been paying much attention to — alliance _affai irs lard did not know just what was doing.

THE SENATORS CLINCHED. A Dispute Over a Potut of Order in the West Virginia Legislature Becomes Serious. The senatorial proceedings in the West Vir- ginia legislature wore enlivened yesterday by a fight between Senators F. W. St. Clair and P. W. Morris, which would have probably ended seriously but for the intervention of the ser- geant-at-arms and several members. The row grew out of a point of order made by Morris against St. Clair.
