Bridges and Ferries Discussed— Against Certain Proposals—Chevy Chase Hunt Club—Canal Affairs. At the meeting of the residents of Falls Church and vicinity last night for the pur- pose of discussing electric transportation there were both men and women present, all the latter being property holders, and, in the opinion of the promoters of the pro- ject to connect the town with Washington by means of a railroad, having the right to speak their views on the subject. Most of them, however, spoke informally among themselves, and did not to any extent ad- dress the meeting. There was money at command to largely help the construction of the proposed road, one of the speakers of the evening said, but not enough. He therefore proposed, in order to facilitate the building, that the council submit to the taxpayers a proposi- tion to bond the town in the sum of $10,000, | and give that amount to the company agreeing to construct at once, and in ac- cordance with the people’s wishes, the road so badly needed. The exact route of the Proposed ‘line has not as yet been deter- mined upon by the promoters. The ma- jority of the Virginians want it to cross by way of Analostan Island, and enter Wash- ington near the foot of the State, War and Aqueduct bridge and to Washington by way of Georgetown, as the people of the West End want them to do, no was taken on it, and it was tucked at im the mover’s memory, to bring forward at the t ting.

This enabled the to town of larger cargoes. An old boat would drag herself along with 105 or 108 ions. The average cargo brought during 148 was 118 tons. - The closing down of the canal means to a very large extent the closing of the river trade, and with the exception of a few schooners bringing wood, fertilizer, asphalt, etc., the Georgetown wharves will be un- disturbed by rudder or bow until next ‘A majority of the lock tenders and section bosses along the canal have of course been put off.

McKnew of 933 Pennsylvania avenue,“in which I think we can justlyclaim to lead the trade of Washington, and that is in our cloak department. I say this because we have for years made a specialty of cloaks and suits, and our trade in these has | been very satisfactory. This season in or- | der to encourage the purchasing of cloaks and suits for Christmas presents, and to supply those people now, who usually wait until January to catch the post-Christmas reductions, we have made some special re- ductions, and are getting more than our share of that trade. There are many peo- ple who think that they can get splendid bargains if they wait until the slump comes in January, and they are right. Well, we want that trade now and we want the folks to have the benefit of these reduc- tions for their Christmas shopping. We have, therefore, reduced things along cer- tain Ines according to desirability. There is a tendency this year, owing, I have no doubt, to the hard times, to purchase prac- tical presents, and we are getting rid of much of our stock on this account. I am asked daily if I do not find that people are buying cheap goods this year, and I alwa: answer that such is not the result of my | observations. I find that my customers, at | least. are buying good stuff, that they can depend upon. You see we are known to have the best stock, and we have the cour- age to keep it at all hazards.
