A PUMP HOUSE DESERTED. Many Boats Arrived from Cumber- land With Freight Yesterday. MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS. a On next Thursday, the 10th, Richard Bur- giss, the alleged murderer of Swift, the Connecticut soldier, will be given a hear- ing before Squire Birch of Rosslyn. Since the incarceration of the man he has been questioned and cross-questioned a good deal, but overlooking some contradictory statements that may have been made un- der the excitement of the time nothing of a convicting nature has been discov- ered since his imprisonment. He absolutely denies the ownership of the coat found near the spot where the murder was com- mitted. Burgiss for some time has been living on Madison street near the southern boundary of Holy Rood cemetery, and is known as a man of edd jobs. It is stated that he was formerly a Marylander. Station Keeper Conway, who was for- merly a justice of the peace in Forrestville, Prince George's county, Md. said last night in speaking of the arrest of Burgiss that he thought the suspect was the same Richard, alias Dick, Burgiss who five or six years ago was known throughout the county as an unlawful character and who a number of times was confined in the Marlboro’ jail. Can: Affairs. Boats to arrive yesterday via the canal were as follows: A. Greenlees, Capt. W-. Knight; Consolidation No. 16, Capt. Spong; T. H. Gibbs, Capt. Penner; No. 38, Capt. Penner; D. W.

The Daniel B. Fearing has finished un- loading her cargo of 2.000 tons of Penob- scot ice, taken on 2.000 tons of Cumberland coal and started for Boston, where the black cargo will be discharged. Capt. Clit- ford is in command. . the Rhode Island, laden with ice, is now discharging her 1.300 tons at the wharves of the Great Falls Ice Com- pany. She, too, will reload with coal. Her master, Capt. Soule, is one of the oldest in the commercial service and is known in every seaport on the Atlantic coast. He is also a man well known in the principal ports of the old world, having spent a long time in European and Asiatic waters. A Pump House Deserted. Yesterday the entire force with the ex- ception of one man, Mr. James R. Nash, were taken from Georgetown's old pump house and assigned to duty in other stations belonging to the District's water depart- ment. Mr. James T. Greaves, who was the en- gineer in charge, was sent to the U street Station, and Mr. Z. T. Petit was given an inspectorship in “Washington. Mr. Luke Kearney as yet has not R assigned to new duty. Mr. Nash will take care of the deserted pump until further notice. As it may be several years before the proposed distributing reservoir pump house is con- structed, and as Tenleytown is daily becom- ing in more need of an adequate supply of water it is not at all improbable, it is said, that ye pump will be called into service ai an ea¥ly day to send water to the proposed stand pipe on Fort Reno, the highest point in the District of Columbia. It S thought, too, that the necessary main will be laid not later than the fall of the present year. News Paragraphs.

C. SATURDAY, AUGUST 5, 1893—SIXTFEN PAGES. THE IRON HORSE. Some Erroneo Rallroad Statistics. To the Editor of The Evening Star: ‘The writer of the very interesting article on “The Iron .Horse,” which appeared in The Evening Star of Saturday last, made one or two statements from which utterly erroneous conclusions will incvitably have been drawn. He stated, intr alla, that “the American tourist who entertains his home friends with accounts of the great speed of the trains abroad is ignorant of the fact that the best of the ‘foreign’ en- gines are furnished from his own country. This is a great mistake. It 1s only in the United Kingdom that the speed of even the fastest trains is such as to excite the in- terest or attention of the American tourist, and as an ex-railroad officer I am in a po- sition to state that up to 1882 there was not a single locomotive of American manufac- ture to be found on any railroad in Great Britain or Ireland, while the annual reports of the United States Treasury Department for the last ten years show that only two locomotives have been exported from this country to the United Kingdom within that period. One of them had so exceedingly low @ valuation as to make it evident that it was required for some sp2c purpose, while the other, valued at $2,4, or two and one-half times as much as your con- tributor states is the cost of the best ex- press locomotive now in use, either was sent abroad for exhibition purposes or was purchased by one of the English railroad companies to be used experimentally, just as the Pennsylvania railroad has bought a few English locomotives for experimental use on its owh lines. During the ten years ending June 30, 1892, the total number of locomotives sent from the United States to foreign countries was only 1,52, anJ the South American republics, with Mexico and Cuba, took over 90 per cent of the iotal. A few were exported to Canada, Australia and other British colonies, but the number sent to Europe in ten years’ time can be count- ed on one’s fingers. With rezard to the speed of trains on American railways, your contributor states that “even over the con- tinental divide, where grades for many miles exceed ninety feet to the raile, or 1 2- per cent elevation, the mountain =teeps are ascended with but little diminutioa of -peed by the use of engines spectatty designed for that service.” This is perfectly true, nd it Is certainly one of the wonlers of modern railroad travel, but the illust. ms by which your contributor seeks to emphasize his statement are very amusiaz. He states that the Union Pacific fast mail recently ran from Julesburg to North Platte, eignty- one miles, in seventy-eight minutes, aud on another cecasion from North Platte to Grand Island, 138 miles, in <43 mim:ites, in- cluding stops. Your contributor, how<ver, forgets to tell your readers chat those runs were down grade, North Platte being (3 feet lower than Julesburg and Gran Isiand no less than 937 feet lower than North Platte. Iam by no means sure that the statement that engine 85 of the New York, Lake Erie and Western is the heaviest lo- comotive ever built is not likewise cpen to criticism, for I well remember the building of two engines for the Northern Paci when its trains had to be hauled over heavy grades of Stampede Pass, pending the completion of the tunnel, that weighed 100 tons each. Random statements and the too free use of superlatives detract ore mously from the value of much of the newspaper writing of the present day. Mr. Frank G. Carpenter, for example, staied in @ recent issue of The Star tha: the stone viaduct over which the Great Northern rail- way enters the city of Minneapolis from the direction of St. Paul is the first enxin- eering work of its kind ever built. on a curve—a statement which ts entirely ev Toneous, the trains of the Lonton and Northwestern railway of England between Liverpool and Leeds having been carrie! over the Saddleworth valley by a magnifi- cent double-track stone viaduct, hizhe longer and on a sharper curve than the via duct at Minneapolis, for over forty years, Again, a press dispatch was recently sent out from Boston to the effect that the new depot to be erected in that city by the Bos- ton and Lowell would have 0 trains per day, the largest number of any station tn the’ world. Both Liverpool street. and Waterloo stations in London exceed this number by % per cent. I may state in con- clusion that in connection with the exhibit of locomotives at the world’s fair and with the recent wonderful achievements of the now famous No, 99 with the Empice State express of the New York Central the rela~ tive merits of the locomotives and railroad systems of the United States ard Engl: have been so thoroughly disciswed in tie different railroad, engineering and mechai cal journals of this country that there is no longer the slightest excuse jor the ignor- ance and misconception concerning them that have heretofore prevailed. ‘August 4, 1893. JOHN HYDE. a Gas Company Litigation. A bill in equity was filed yesterday after- noon by the American Gas Company of Kentucky, having a branch office at 604 5th street, this city, under charge of its vice president, John E. Carpenter, to annul its contract with the General Gas and Iron Company of New Jersey, which also has an office in this city at 1736 N street north- west under charge of William H. Harris. Last March ft ts alleged that the American company agreed to sell to the General com- any its plat, engines and implements jocated on the grounds of the Hygienic Ice Company for 2 shares of stock in the lat- ter company, the only condition being that the purchasing company should remove the plant within six months, and set it up in working order at some place in connection with the pipe lines for general distribution of the gus manufactured. Before the con- tract was carried out the American people aver that they found the stock of the Gen- eral company to be absolutely worthless, and recalled the deal. ‘The General com- pany, however, proceeded to take posses- sion ‘of the plant, which it had purchased for the 30 shares of stock quoted at one cent per share. The plant is worth $5, 0) and accordingly the American company arxious to recover it. Gen. P. W.

It is at Harper's Ferry and Co. C, En- wineer Corps, Occupy It. Company C, engineer corps, in company meeting last night decided to name their camp after Adjutant General Mosher, in recognition of the kindly interest he has manifested in the company and the aid he has given it In many ways. It was thought that Gen. Ordway had been complimented in camp designations so often that the honor no longer held any terrors or attrac- tions for him. So the first camp of com- pany C, engineer corps, will go down to posterity as Camp Mosher, and Camp Mosher will be located on Camp Hill, at the Summit House, Harper's Ferry, W. Va. There are several amateur photographers in the company who will take their cam- eras with them, and in addition Prot. Fava of Columbian University will bring up his 10x12 camera, and the whole com- pany joins in hoping that the unrivaled beauty of Harper's Ferry’s hills will keep itself decked out in its Sunday best, if only in the interests of photography. Capt. Averill of company C holds that the great importance to an engineer soldier of the art of swimming cannot be over- estimated, and he intends that the whole company shall master the art before leav- ing Harper's Ferry. For that purpose a visit to Rattling Springs, a noted spring about a mile up the Potomac, will be a regular part of each day’s program. Tt was impossible to obtain ihe ma- chetes which are being manufactured for the company in time for the encampment, so the boys will still flourish the old Tamil far cutlasses. ‘The company is armed also with revolvers and_ carries with it 1,000 ball cartridges and 50) blanks. pt. W. H. Ireland and Sergeant J. B. Lichty of company B will camp with com- pany C and assist In the practice in_ sii naling, for’ which Harper's Ferry is. « pecially adapted. Flash lanterns and helio- graphs will be used in addition to the usual signaling flags. The encampment begins today and the tents will fall on the 15th. ‘The company went up on a morning train, which will enable it to have everything ‘straightened out during the afternoon. It has not been decided what time the company will re- ‘urn. The following is the roster of pany: F. L, Averill, captain; E. Ri sam, first lieutenant: A. E. Middleton, sec- ond ‘Heutenant; G. G.

To the Editor of The Evening Star: As the time for the extraordinary session of Congress approaches, would it not be advisable to ascertain, if practicable, the moving, substantive causes of distrust and of stringency in matters financial and eco- nomical? Many people will say at once, it is the blundering and criminal legislation of Congress in respect of silver and the tariff. Others with equal confidence insist that neither the monetary system nor the tariff has anything at all to do with it, but that the seat of all the business troubles is the apprehension that Congress is going to readjust the tariff. Others again will tell us that the present depressed con- dition of affairs ts due to waste, extrava- gance and overspeculation, which has dis- counted by at least ten years the possible material wealth of the nation. The number is not few who look with dread upon the approaching session, fearing that the rash or unwise interference of uninformeg or currency-blinded legislators will aggravate instead of palliating the situation. What- ever may be the proximate causes of the depressed condition of business affairs in this country, it is the part of statesman- ship to endeavor to relteve it, if within the domain of legislative competence. If it is outside this domain we must look elsewhere for remedies and correctives. Now 1 be- lieve economists agree that wealth ts ac- cumulated by degrees—(1) by the occupation of new territory, (2) by cultivation of the soil, @) by scientific invention, and (4) by the egonomy of the producers, These may be called the substantive causes of wealth, and o' these the “economy of the pro- ducers” is the most important factor. When seeking for cause or causes for loss of wealth—or for what Is the same thing in effect, a diminution or depreciation in current and available vaiue of what usu- ally constitutes the representative of the wealth of a nation—regard must be had to the waste of both producer and consumer. In this vie may it not be that the waste, extravagance and overspeculation of our people have contributed largely to bring upon us the present depression? Iam only a seeker after the truth; but it seems to me that there are several contributing causes which have brought about the pres- ent condition of affairs, which is exceed- ingly embarrassing, and these are so inter. laced and interdependent that it is difficult to recognize in what proportion each has contributed to the general result. It may well be that the distrust with which many millions of people regard one of the metals which the United States has been stamp- ing and sending out as standard currency has much to do with ft, But it is not in the way in which most people consider it. Writing in ISS}, an economist of the lib- eral school in France said: “The issue of all the wealth in negotiabie vouc! and the incessant transfer of valuations so mobilized is the characteristic innovation of modern times. This tendency to stir up an already preponderating commerce, made universal because the merchandise upon which it operates, capital, sums up all other merchandise, is the great force of modern human activity. This commerce, legitimate and necessary in principle, but mysterious in many aspects, opens a career for sv picious gambling’ and fraudulent schemes. This traffic in capital, which renders such service, at the same time that it counte- nances great abuses, has not been studied closely In any country. In France, as ¢ise- where no doubt, it has been controlled a little at haphazard, as the result of customs which have had the force of rules. The time has come to throw light on this creat movement, To regulate it, to reclaim it, if possible, has become for ‘our time an ac of political prudence, a socjal necessit' Making use of the above extract of Andre Cochut, M. Jannet, tn his work on “Capital, Speculation and Finance in the 19th Cen- tury,” opens the way and proceeds to the discussion involved and indicated by the title of his very valuable work. Tf not yet translated into English, it should be trans. lated at the public expense, and a copy should. be placed in the hands of every member of Congress and of every public official.

The citizens of Brookland assembled in the town hall last night to hear the re- port from the committee appointed at the mass meeting last month to wait upon the District Commissioners and urge that sewer and water facilities be given that rapidly growing suburb. Bishop Keane, who was chairman of that committee, was not present, but one of the other mem bers reported that they were cordially re- ceived by the Commissioners, who admitted that the plea for sewers and other improve- ments was just, and promised to do what they could to afd in the accomplishment of these works. They asked the citizens to assist them in prevailing upon Congress to pass the necessary appropriations. Subse- quently the following letter was received from “Assistant Engineer Commissioner Darby, which was read: ‘The Citizens’ Association, Brookland, D. C.: Gentlemen—Replying to so much of your letter of July 22, 18%, as reiates to sewerage facilities for Brookland, D. C., I would state that the Commissioners of the District of Columbia have ordered that sewers in Rhode Jsland avenue between Sth and 10th streets ‘northeast and on l0th street be- tween Rhode Island and Lansing street be added to the provisional schedule of sewers to be built during the fiscal year 185, provided Congress appropriates funds suilicient. Very Tespectfully A GEO. McC. DERBY, Capt. of Engineers, U.'S. A,” Asst. to En- gineer Commissioner. Mr, Weeks, a member of the committee, who called on Maj. Moore, requesting a policeman for Brookland, stated that Maj. Moore said that it was impossible to give immediate relief, but thought it probable that he might be able to do so if Con- gress granted the appropriation asked for the force. Mr. McCormick, chairman of the com- mittee to wait on Superintendent Powell of the public schools, and request that an cighth grade school be established in Brook- land, stated that Superintendent Powell Was ‘out of the city, and would return in a few days, A motion was adopted pledging that the citizens would aid the Commissioners in their efforts to secure appropriations and suggesting that the depth of the proposed sewer should be sufficient to drain as much as aghast of the surrounding territory. The committees appointed at the mass meeting were continued in service after a very lively discussion, in which the pre- siding officer took part. —_ ALEXANDRIA COUNTY.
