Almost daily delegations are arriving here from fire companies in Maryland, Pennsylvania, Vir- giniaaud Washington to arrange for the accom- modation of their companies and enter for the various prize contests that have been arranged for the program of the first day. The second day will be devoted to the organization of a state firemen’s association. and it is thought that this will prove to be one of the most suc- state has ever.taken. Fully 3,000 firemen are expected to attend the celebration. The Co- Inmbia Fire Company of Washington will be d Georgetown and Alexandria will also jelegations, Magistrate Edward Hewes was suddenly sum- d to Park Mills, this count; investigate what was supposed at tle time to be a mysterious murder. Henderson Brown, an | aged white man of that vicinity, had been found dead on the floor of his houst, and there were indications of foul play that caused alarm among his neig! ful investigation by the magistrate proved, however, that death was the result of natural causes. A delegation has been sent from the M. E. h of this city to the M. E. conference in 1on at Hagerstown at the present time, with ity to invite the conference to hold i nal session in this city. She February term of the circuit conrt for Frederick county has adjourned after a lengthy | | session in which a number of very interesting | | cases were disposed of. | The people of the Middletown valley, this county, are finally na fair way to the realiza- tion of their long-deterred hope for railroud mn with the county seat and adirect utlet for the bountiful products of that | jon of country. Mr. Edgar I.

THE PLAN OF EXTENSION. Under the provisions of the new bill the Com- missioners of the District are authorized and directed to prepare a plan for the extension of permanent system of highways in the stem,” the bill provides, *‘shall be mude as nearly in conformity with ‘the street plan of the city of Washington as the Commis- sioners may deem advisable and_ practicable. ‘The highways provided in such plana shall not in any case be less than ninety feet nor more than 160 fect wide, except in cases of existing highways, which may bo established of any width not less than their existing width and not more than 160 feet in width. The plan of street extension is to be prepared in sections and the Commissioners are.directed “to select first such areas as are covered by ex- isting suburban subdivisions not in ‘con- formity with the general plan of the city of Washington.” Amap is to be prepared and delivered to a commission, “composed of the Secretary of ¥ Secretary of the Interior and’ the engineers, for the time being, who such alterations, if any, therein as 3 deem advisable.” When the com- mission approves the map it is to be returned to the Commissioners and duly recorded with the surveyor of the District. Provision is made for the condemnation of right of way by appli- cation to the Supreme Court of the District. J. THE EXPENSE ON THE DISTRICT. It is provided also “that the amount awarded by said court as damages for each highway or reservation or part thereof condemned and established under this act shall bean assexs- ment and charge wholly upon the land bene- fited thereby, or upon the land and District of Colambia in such proportion as the court hall determine, and the amount charged against said District shail be paid exclusively from the revenues thereof. “The United States shall not hereafter be liable for any expense in connection with any ‘Streets, reservations or circles or other im- provements outside of the cities of Washington and Georgetown, laid out under the provisions of this act, but it shall be paid entirely out of the revenues of the District of Columbia. “In case the court shall enter judgment of condemnativn in any case and appropriation ia not made by Congress for the payment of «uch award within the period of six months, Con- gress being in session for that time after such eecord inauguration of F award, or for the period of six months after was about 5,000 smalier. There figures include, | the meeting of the next session of Congress, the of course, the visiting militia, politieal organ- | proceedfigs shall be void and the land shall re- vert to the owner.” AN AESURD PROVISION, While the final settlement of this important question is of the highest importance to the material interests of this citv, yet it isa great misfortune that the bill, so beneficial in its ef- fect, and as a rule wise in its provisions, should be disfigure? by the ridiculous clause that at one stroke changes the plan adopted for the government of the District by providing that the entire expense of the improvements of the streets to be laid ont under the pro this act shail be paid entirely out of t! nue of the District. The only reason ad on the floor of the House for this cbange was that the principle of the government sharing the municival expense with the District ought not to apply to those sections of the Distri away from the territory where most of the fed- lies. There seems to be a con- mong members of Congress that the capital city of thix great nation is confined within the old municipal limits of the city of Wasi THE CITY AND THE DISTRICT ONE. The fact is that the city of Washington and the District of Columbia are now ideutical in area and only an imaginary line separates them. ‘There is one law and one government for the entire District, and there is no doubt that if the growth of the capital is not checked the entire area of the District will be built up. In the last census this fact was recognized, and instead of enumerating the population’ according to the practically ob:o- Tite divisious of the city ‘of West iain, Georgetown and the county the population of the entire District was given. Then, again, the property of the government is not contined to the old municipal limits, and it is probable that this will be less the case in the future than in the past. The buildings for the naval ob- servatory have receutly been ‘erected in the suburbs, the Government Hospital for the In- sane occupies a large area in the suburbs and no doubt other sites will be chosen for public ngs away from the present populous ce: ters. Ifanybody has an iden that this city is going to stop growing he needs to revise such an opinion as quickly as possible, COMPLICATED BOOKKEEPING. There are a number of streets in subdivisions which have been already lnid out in accordance with the plan of the city, and which, therefore, will not come under the provisions of this act. ‘The result will ke that a portion of the streets in the suburbs Will be improved out of the com- mon fund and another lot will be a tax exciu- sively on the District funds. The bill will ne- ceasitate a delightfully complicated system of bookkeeping. The hope is universally expressed that the bill will be amended, and if there is a desire on the part of Congress to change the present form of government for the District that it will be done outright and not in a way that im- poses unjust and necdiess hardship on the resi- dents of the District, ROWS OF HoUsrs.

One of the most interesting features of the inaugural parade was the flight of the homing pigeons that were liberated during the march. These pigeons were in charge of Dr. Reginald Munson, who is surgeon of the engineer corps of the D. C. N. G. and an enthusiastic homing pigeon fancier. Several of tre birds liberated were from the loft of the United States naval messenger in charge of Prof. Marion, who has organized this service. These pigeons carried messages relating to the ceremonies to the Naval Academy loft, and the messages were duly received and delivered to the commanding officer of that station in good time. Pigeons of the Naval Academy loft were successfully used during the last summer's crnise of the United States training ship Constellation and carried important mescages from the veseel to the shore station. In front of the Presi parade» jent’s stand during the number of birds were liberated bear- ing m4 from Gen. Ordway of the D. C. N. Gan: Maj. Gilbert Thompson of the en- gineer corps to Capt. Phythian of the Naval Academy. ‘The President’ watched the flight of the birds with agreat deal of interest and the trusty little mescengers, after wheeling around for some time, flew off in the direction of home and were soon lost to sight. ———— TAKOMA PARK, Miss E.

Hyarrsvitte, Mp., March 6, 1893, A number of citizens of Riverdale met at the residence of Mr. W. W. Smith in that village a few nights ago and organized an association to be called the Riverdale Citizens’ Association, The following officers were elected: W. W. Smith, president; Chas, C. Wilson, vice presi- dent; Samuel McMillan, secretary; F. A. Pres- ton, treasurer. A suitable constitution and set of by-laws wero adopted, and it was decided to erect twelve vil lamps in'the village, to be paid for out of the fees of the association. Ayoung man from Baltimore while walking the track of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad from that city to Washington lyst Priday night was attecked and robbed by two tramps between Hyattsville and Highlands. He went to High- lands and told his tale to the flagman of that place, who took care of him for the night, An’ enjoyable sociable was given at the Hy- attsville Presbyterian Church last Thursday evening by the Christian Endeavor Society. ‘The program was as follows: Violin and piano duet, Miss Nannie Fowler and Mr. J, B. Fowler; recitation, ‘Briar Rose,”’ Miss Edith Rathbone; vooalsolo, “‘Armorer Sot “Robin Hood,” Mr. A. R.

He had not expected anything like it and was completely surprised. The pledges were made for shares at $5 each, and when about eight hundred of these had been secured Bishop New- man enid that if the conference would take a thousand of them he would allow his contribu- tion of the morning to be counted asa part of that made by the conference. took less than ten minutes to secure pledges for those two hundred shares. When this had been done Bishop Hurst turned to his colleague and said; “Well this takes you in, Biehop.” With just the faintest suggestion of a smile Bishop Newman dryly replied: “On, well, it isn’t the first time I've been taken in.” ASBURY MEMORIAL HALL. The greater part of the money pledged was toward the erection of Asbury Memorial Hall, a building which is to cost $100,000 and is to be erected by contributions from clergymen or by laymen contributing in preachers’ names. ‘The only way in which a layman can contribute is in the name of some preacher. Among the con- tributions from laymen yesterday was $200 from Gen. J. R. Berry of Baitimore, who gave #100 each for the two biehops present. About $4,800 of the £5,250 given by the conference, exclud- ing. of course, Bishop Newman's gift, was for this hall. Bishop Hurst, in mentioning this building, said that several clergymen in different parts of the country conceived the idea almost simul- taneously that at least a thousand of their brethron would esteom it a privilege to give $109 each to build a hall. ‘They thought that a spontaneous gift of $100,000 from the preachers would give a new impetus to the liberality of the laymen, furnish a fresh proof of the deep interest of Methodist Episcopal ministers in such higher education as the American Univer- sity is intended to provide and be an expression of their conviction that the further develop- ment of Christian education in America de- mands the creation of a great Protestant uni- versity. The name suggested for the building and adopted was Asbury Memorial Hall, and it was intended to commemorate in fitting and perma- nent form the services of the pioneer Methodist bishop and founder of American Methodism. Francis Axbury. It ix proposed that the hali shall be built after the generai plan of Christ Charch College, Oxford, Engiand, where John Wesley was a student, ‘The trustees of the uni- versity in consenting to the proposal pledged themselves to provide a tablet of brass, to be built into the wall of the entrance of the hail, bearing the names of contributors to the build ing’s erection. “The hail will be built,” said Bishop Hurst, “for your action will be heralded through the 115 conferences of the connection and they will be stimulated to follow your example. This is the first conference to which the matter bas been presented. Your action here foreshadows success elxewhere.” Bishop Hurst in his address said that never had the necessity for such a university as was proposed been 80 great, for never before bad an American vatican been planted on the banks of the Potomac. Never was a papal nuncio threatened at Washington. Protestantism was now compelled to have a great center in the United States. He also said that the recent appropriation bill contained an appropriation of £10,000 for the extension and grading of Massachusetts avenue. That, he said, was one of the dying spasms of common sense of the present Congress, These spasms have been ex- ceedingly rare.

Shortly before 2 o'clock yesterday morning flames were discovered breaking from the north- eastern windows of the architectural iron work- ing establishment of the Fred. J. Meyers Man- ufacturing Company, 410 and 412 Madison ave- nue, Covington, Ky. A strong northerly wind was blowing, and the flames quickly spread across to Sth street on the north and attacked the Fifth Street Chris- tian Church, one of the oldest and largest of the denomination in Kentucky. In no time it succumbed to the flames, as did the residence of Dr. Robinton adjoining it. When the fire in the church was at its highest and had reached the steeple and spiro, the flames shot out from these, high above the surrounding blaze, like a huge torch suspended from the eky. Tho Meyers establishment is one of the largest, if not the largest, of its kind in the country. It is a seven-story brick. fronting 150 feet on Madison avenue, and extending back half « block, about 250 fet.
