ROW THE RAILROAD WILL GET A XEW ENTRANCE INTO THE CITY—TRE TWO LINKS OF THE LINE NOW IN ITA POSSESSION—THE GREAT Possi- BILITIES FoR GEORGETOWN. ‘There is good news for the people of George- town and for the whole District for that matter im the fact that the Baltimore and Ohio rail- road has definitely and beyond all doubt suc- ceeded in getting « terminus in the old city on the other side of Rock creek. ‘This fact, borne out by the further one that im all probability cars will be running into Georgetown by next spring, has cansed large- sized rejoicing in the hearts of the people of that ¢taid but sanguine burg. For some time past there have been rumors that the B. and 0. people bad some large dex! on band that would give them the desired entrance for their tracks into George- town, but for the most part it was mere conjecture. Now, however, the officers of Georgetown Barge, Dock, va tor and Hailway Company admit the soft impeachment that they have sold their railway Baltimore and Ohio and that they have ;ot lost money by the des is in a position to state that a qualified sale has been made and there in no reason, it is said, why the people over in the west sbould not just get up and hustle and make things as lively as they were in the days of the old canal.

The sale wili be finally consummated this afternoon or at latest within a day or two. ‘The presumption is that every one is satisfied with the exception of the other railroads that now see how neatly they have been euchred ont of a very valuable privilege. How- ever much of x boon the railroad may be to Georgetown there can be no doubt that the move was a wise one on the part of the railroad company, for it will give them freight and pas- senger facilities «uch as they have never had in thix city, in addition to first rate southern con- nection, =~ ‘The Georgetown Barge. Dock, Elevator and Railway Company owne ® line of tracks on Water street, Georgetown, that is really not miuch longer than the company'e name, but it was ull important tothe Baltimore and Ohio people im their efforts to get into the District rom the west that they should get oesession of this vmall property, for it riety over the us that would other- wise have existed between the point where it was already posible for them to enter George- town and the point further east, where it was necessary for them to go in order tu make it worth their while at all. THE RIGHTS THAT HAVE DEEN PORCUASED. Under the act of Congress by which it was incorporated, approved September 26, 1883, Georgetown Barge, Dock, Elevator and Railway Company was authorized to “construct and maintain single or double-track railways in the city of Georgetown or West Washington, District of Columbia, through and along Water street, bezinning xt a point on the west side of the Aqueduct bridge, through and along said Water street under said bridge to the eastern terminus of said Water street at Rock creek, with the priv- ilege of extending its tracks from the intersec- tion of Water street and Washington or 30th strect along Washington or 30th street to the Potomac river, and from the intersection of Virginia avenue and Washington or 30th street along Virginia avenue to Rock creek, with sid- ings, tarnouts, turn tables and switches neces- sary for the delivery of cars to ware houses and depots along said streets, and also to construct maintain ware houses, depots aud elevators said city of Georgetown’or West Washing- ton, with the right to receive and dispatch boats and freight of all kinds and to run cars of said tracks, sidings, switches, turnouts and tables, propelled by steam, horse or elec- tric power.” THE OTHER CONNECTING LINK. Several years ago a charter was granted to the Washington and Western Railroad Com- pany to construct tracks along the north side of the Potomac through that stretch of country that lies between the Free bridge and the Chain bridge. This charter was to lapse unless the road was completed by the Ist of next March. Itw Agubtial if the charter tained with ap; aetual intention of building the road, but it was thought that it might prove a good invest- ment. At any rate up to the it time not a rail has been laid nor a cutting made, and it wasa work of no great difliculty for the Baltimore and Ohio railroad to get ssion of this right. It will be but a simple matter for them then to lay outa track connecting at the Div- trict line with the Metropolitan Southern, now under course of conat@uction, to a point’ near the Aqueduct bridge. ‘This would still nave left them in a very un- desirable position, however, at the foot of the biuff at the western end of Georgetown. What was necessary was to get into the heart of the city to a point that would be much more accessible from this side of Rock creek. The barge company’s tracks along Water street would enable them to do just this very thing and to establish there freight depot at Water and K streets, where their is plenty of avail- the Barge Company might make some money that they were Tercter petitioning Congress to have ite charter annulled. WHAT BROUGRT ABOUT THE TRANSFER. “It was just thie factiousness that brought about the final transfer of the tracks on Water street to the Baltimore and Ohio. I was opposed ull along to selling our tracks to a1 one road. My desire was to have all the is come into town in this way. I believe that thie could have been done in time and it would SOMETHING OF A SENSATION. Rev. Dr, Bartlett Tells From the Pulpit His Experience With a Crank. Something of a sensation was created in the congregation of the New York Avenue Presby- terisn Church Sunday morning by an inci- dent which was related by the pastor, Rev.

He was preaching about the cities of refuge mentioned in the Bible where Persons who had unintentionally been guilty of a homicide could flee and be safe from mo- , - & the roads, big dae ent Jestation.

Now I am glud to have th opportunity to say that it was only the fear t the people of Georgetown would succeed in their efforts to have the Barge Company's charter repealed that induced me to agree to selling out to one road, an act that will ha: the effect of keeping out all other roads for ime.” AMUSEMENTS. Avpavon’s.--Mr. Richard Mansfield must have been convinced of his great popularity in this city by the large audience that greeted the commencement of his engagement at Albaugh’ last night. It was ap audience compored of in- telligent and cultured people, and the closest attention was given to the work of the per- formers. In the boxes were Sir Julian Paunce- fote, Lady Pauncefote, Mise Pauncefote, Mr. Slidell Rogers and Mr. Frazier of the British legation; Mrs, Secretary Foster, Miss Foster, Mrs. Secretary Rusk, Miss Rusk, M. Von Mamm, in legation, Miss Hattie Blaine, Miss Cameron, Mr. and Mrs. Blair Lee, Mar- juis Imperili, Dr. and Mrs. Lincoln, Mrs. Phil heridan, Dr. and Mrs. Hammond, Miss Marion Foster, Miss Kate Endsiy, Senatot Hiscock,Sena- tor Blair and lady, Gen. Geo. P. McGinnis of I diana, and Lieut. Nakamura of the Japanese le able room for freight yards and shifting tracks. Hence the significance in the news that the B. and O. has obtained possession of | the Barge Company's property. With the lan the B. and’ O- will beve in case it obtains jon of the Chesapeake and Ohio canal and the land that belonged to the Barge Com- pany the Baltimore and Ohio will have all ‘the iand it really needs, especially as the Barge Company's charter gave it the right of access to the river at 30th street, where it had considerable holdings. In order to comply with the — provisions of che Washington and Western's charter as to completing that road by the Ist of March it would be necessary to begin work at once, though it is believed that if work was begun in earnest Congress would grant an extension of the time if necessary. REJOICING IN GEORGETOWN. Georgetown people are naturally jubilant over the prospect of a railroad in their very midst and claim that it is but the omen of great prosperity in the future. According tothem the Georgetown freight depot will of necessity be- come the receiving point for all freight whose destination is west of 12th street. Moreover it will be possible to bring in cars in bulk, and in this way grain can Le run directly into vators, doing away entirely with the hitherto heavy charges incident to handling and trans- portation ucross the @ity. Lumber can be dumped just wherever itis desired in the lumber yards, and as for coal—well, Georgetown is just Going to be a regular storehouse for coal. With road's access to the river grain, lumber and coal can be loaded directly an board schooners that have discharged the cargoes they have Drought from other ports. With the present freight yards for the railroads such & state of things would be impossible. George- town will thus become once more an important commercial point. Aw it isnow more than a half ot the lumber business of the District is done in Georgetown, and with the increased faeflities there is no telling where the prosperity of the lumber men alone wiil cease. The ultimate aim of the Baltimore and Ohio im running # branch south from Linden, it is generally ited, is to make connections with the southern lines on the other side of the Potomac. It is probable that they will run a bridge across the river at a point near the aqueduct and from there it will be an easy mat- ter to tap the Norfolk and Western, the Vir- ginia Midland and others as desired. While the matter of freight facilities is per- haps the prime consideration with the Balti- tore and Obio railroad they will be equally to accommodate the passenger trade from the Georgetown end if 90 desired. ‘The Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Company owns land on both sides of Kock ereek, which, it fs claimed, may come under the control of the railroad company. and by throwing a trestle across the creek passengers who come in by of Georgetown will be dropped within a steps of the M street bridge and the cable Washington and Georgetown Rail- wuat ‘yansrpest BAKER SAYS. jr.

He quoted from the President's mes- sage figures which showed that during the year ended June 90, 1890, 2,450 railroad employes had been killed and 22,300 had been injared largely as the result of carelessness. ‘THE CLASS OF CRANKS. The speaker referred to the prevalence of carelessness, resulting in » heavy loss of life, and then spoke of the deeds of the class of le known as cranks. — Some ovision he thought ought to made for caring for such people and for keeping them where they couki do no harm. He was of the opinion that institutions occapy- ing @ position midway in the scale of punish- ment for crime between a penitentiary and an insane asylum ought to be evtablished for the reception of people of this kind. ‘A PERSONAL EXPERIENCE. He then spoke of an experience he bad on the previous Sabbath with a man of the crank species. Upon the’ conclusion of the services last Sabbath morning, be eaid, a mai in came upto him as he stepped from the pulpit and told him that he wished to speak to him. He merel; glanced at the man, and seeing other people waiting to speak to him said to the man ‘that he would see him presently. The man, however, replied: “1 mus speak to ‘you at ‘once.” This remark arrested the doctor's attention instantly, and he realized that he stood in the presence of a crank. He looked hastily to see if he carried a dynamite ‘bomb and then glanced the man over. He saw a man of medium size, nently that were rather insignifiant. The man handed him a card rather well printed. It contained a name something like Maurice John Henry Hogg and under the name was the word brick- yer. CAME TO SEE THE PRESIDENT. While the doctor was looking at the card the man said in a hurried way. came here to see the President. I want to see him specially on ® matter of importance. But I want it to be understood that all these people, whether they be Christians or not, who are following me have got to stop it. I have stood this thing long enough. ‘There is a band of conspirators and it must be broken up.”” Th® man went on im this strain, and the doctor said that be was not long in reaching the conclusion that he stood in the presence not only of a crank, but of a homi- cidal crank. He glanced around, think- ing that Moore, the major of police, whose seat was near the pulpit, might ¢ at hand, and be would turn the mun him. But Col. Moore, as it happened, at church that day. .THE MAN DARTED AWAY. ‘Then he looked in another direction and the man, evidently divining his intention, witheut saying another word darted to a side aisle and pushed his way ont of the church as rapidly as possible Dr. Bartlett at the close of this narrative stated, to the relief of his hearers, that he had seen in the papers afew days later a notice of the arrest of this man for making threate in regard to the President. —_—_ Commander Kellogg Retired. ‘The Secretary of the Navy today approved the finding of the board of retirement, which recently examined Commander Augustus G.
