A PRETTY RAILROAD RUMOR. The Norfolk and Western’s Possible Short Ont to Washington. 4 Fight for Territory and Traffic— Beauty of the Blue Ridge—People Who Summer There. The rumored negotiations between the Norfolk and Western and the Richmond and Danville receivers for the lease or sale tinue to be talked about among railroad people. The Norfolk and Western now reaches Washington by going over its own tracks down the Shenandoah valley to Charlestown, in West Virginia, thence over the Baltimore and Ohio through Harper's Ferry and down the Potomac valley over the Metropolitan branch. By building a line eleven miles long through Snickers’ Gap, in the Blue Ridge, from Berryville on the Shenandoah Valley line to Round Hill, the terminus of the Washington and Ohio branch, the Norfolk and Western would save twenty-eight miles’ travel. A part of the plan, and a very essential part it cer- tainly is, is to build a cross-cut from Falls Church to Georgetown, by which a dis- tance of five miles is saved between Wash- ington and the Shenandoah valley at Berry- ville, making the total distance that the Norfolk and Western would gain by a lease of the Washington and Ohio branch, end the construction of the line through Snick- ers’ Gap, thirty-five miles. Graded Years Ago. The old Hampshire and Loudoun Com- pany that built what is now known as the Washington and Ohio road, graded the line to within a mile of Snickers’ Gap, so there would be but little grading to do on the proposed line from Berryville to Round Hi, except in the gap itself. The highest level above the sea on the Winchester pike,which runs through the gap, Is 1,050 feet. This pass through the Blue Ridge, according to early traditions, was surveyed by George Washington when a colonel of volunteers under Braddock, and it was through this gap that the greater part of Braddock's men marched to the fatal finale in which the English general lost his life. The ele- vation of Berryville is 571 feet. That of Castieman’s Ferry, where the new road would cross the Shenandoah, is 5vv feet. The road would have two miles and a half in an air line to travel from the river to the highest point in the gap, and would rise in that distapce 55 feet. So important to the valley is this cut-off through the gap that the citizens of Clarke county four years ago subscribed $50,000 as a bonus toward its construction. The time in which this aid was to be available has now ed, owing to delay in securing legislation from Congress for the entrance of the Nor- folk and Western into Georgetown. This proposed new entrarce of the Nor- folk and Western opens up to Washington people a land almost unknown hitherto. ‘Thousands of people from the capital have for several years been in the habit of spending the summer in the beautiful farming region of Loudoun county. In this picturesque mountain country on the sum- mits and siopes of the Katoctin range, within the soft, amethystine sky line of the Blue Ridge bounding the horizon, hun- dreds of good, o!d-fashioned Virginia house- keepers have taken care of the summer overflow from Washington. The Blue Ridge has, however, been invaded by-few of this host of summer boarders until the past season. The mountain people are a class peculiar to their situation, and among them it has not been an easy matter to find ble summer homes. Their houses are after the primitive log cabin, and the cus- toms of many are those of the last cen- tury. Few read, fewer write. Hog and hominy is their leading bill of fare. They boil their strawberries and lettuce, and call corn cakes “bread” the year round. Getting a living is such an easy matter for them that they work as little as possible, and in times not so very far back moon- shine refreshments were so commonly pro- duced and partaken of that the commonest recreation involved the use of the bowie knife and revolver. Times have changed, however, and last year ap ota: 8 little hotel was opened in Snickers’ Gap by Mr. Jules Demonet of Washington,under the manage- ment of Col. Dan Grosvenor, long and well hnown as a treasury official. Two or three mountain farmers stirred themselves and also accommodated summer sojourners from Washington, and the old mountains | were gay till October with pretty girls and gallant young men. Extended Views. From the gap a view is had of both val leys—the Shenandoah to the west and Lou- doun to the east. Krom the summit of the mountain half a mile out of the gap to the south there is probably the finest panorama of mountain and valley scenery to be found anywhere. ‘Travelers: who have seen all parts of the world have said it was the finest view they had ever seen. ‘he whole horizon is lined with mountains, in succes- sive ranges, single peaks and groups. To the southwest the bold, ragged nose of Mas- sanutten mountain, in Page and Shenando- ah counties, rises high against the blue sky. Then running northward a hundred miles in one long mass is Great North mountain and the Cacapon mountains. Bolivar heights at Harper's Ferry may be seen, and then to the north and east are the Short mountains, Sugar Loaf and the Katoctins, and finally, in the southeast, the Bull Run mountains. From this point the Washington monument is seen over fifty miles away, and it seems as if one could throw a stone down on the field in Charlestown, where John Brown was hung. The Potomac glistening in the sunlight is visible at several points. So, too, are the Rappahannock and the Shenandoah rivers. At night the twinkling electric lights of Winchester, always “twenty miles away,” In the spring Mr. Demonet will begin work on a large addition to the hotel, which will double its capacity. Some Summer Homes, About a mile from the hotel Mr. Chas. G. Smith of Washington has built a fine large mansion, where he spends the sum- mers with his family. Adjoining his farm Prof. Kaspar, the popular conductor of the Washington Choral Society, has a pret- ty place, where he spends his summer va- cation. A few months ago Mr. L. P. Shoemaker bought a place near Mr. Smith's, where he will build a cottage an- other season. It has been proposed, and the suggestion will probably be carried out in the near future, to establish a sig- nal station on the heights up out of Snickers’ Gap, where communication might be easily established by means of signals in the top of the Washington mon- ument. With . powerful glasses it is said faces of persons on the monument may be distinguished from the Blue Ridge. One of the grandest sights from the mountain is to observe the passage of a thunder storm from the mountains across the Loun- | doun and Potomac valleys to Washington. | For a practical training school in signaling | no better situation could be found than this point. A New Raflroad Desired. All considerations together give ground for belief that the rumored effort of the Norfolk and Western to acquire the Wash- ington and Ohfo branch has foundation in fact. There Mes between the Washington and Ohio line and the Manassas branch of | the Richmond and Danville a rich farming, region twenty-five or thirty miles wide. | The farmers living from ten to twelve miles from either road are anxious to have a/ line of their own. The Norfolk and Wes-| tern has talked of building a line from Mill- wood on the Shenandoah valley line through | Ashby’s Gap, which is eight miles south of Snickers’ Gap, and down to Washington, midway between the Washington and Ohio and Manassas branches. ——_ Ras-Reliet of Mra.

These lec- tures will be of unusual interest and should be largely attended. Metzerott Hall—Tonight the Boston ~ phony Orchestra will give its third concert this season at Metzerott Hall. The indica-| tions are that the hall will be crowded. The program has already been published, as also the fact that the orchestra will have the as- sistance of Mme. Materna, the great Wag- nerian soprano. The Lehigh Clubs.—The first visit of the Lehigh Banjo and Glee Clubs to Washington was on Saturday night, when they gave a concert at Metzerott Hall. The inclement weathe> had some effect upon the audience, and the dampness affected the stringed in- struments, but the program was thoroughly enjoyable, nearly every number being en- cored. The banjo club was ly good, being well balanced, and playing with per- fect precision and excellent expression. - The Glee Club sang well, and the soloists found great favor with the audience. second visit from this excellent organization will be eagerly anticipated by those who heard it on Saturday night. Scenes in Ireland.—Last evening at Carroll Institute Hall Mr. Donald Downie of En- gland delivered an interesting illustrated lecture on the picturesque scenes of Ireland. There was a good crowd t, and they enjoyed to the full the descriptions and pic- tures of scenes made famous in song and story. Ingersoll on Lincoln.—Robert G. LS heat lectured last night at the National ter on Abraham Lincoln. The theater was crowded to its utmost. Applause greeted everything the lecturer said. Even those who disagree with Mr. Ingersoll’s agnostic theories cannot but admit the power, feel- ing and literary method of the lecture “Ab- raham Lincoln,” which is considered by many superior to any other of his lectures. He told of Lincoln as the world knows him, | but threw on new shades that lent in- ¢reased and unceasing interest to the theme.

To the Editor ot The Evening Star: Noting the writer in favor of a perma- nent free meal institution in this city in- vites opinions pro and con, I beg leaye to submit my disapproval of the suggestion, and, uncharitable though it may appear, I feel that I but echo the sentiment of all truly perceptive minds. I heartily disap- prove of any kind of a permanent institu- tion for the distribution of supplies, espe- cially free meals, other than the conven- tional Associated Charities which every city has in more or less pegfect organiza- tion, to which worthy cases may be report- ed, and when considered necessary, proper- ly investigated, thus assuring an equitable distribution. It is a well-known fact that, in addition to the army of unfortunates who at times | are obliged to seek charity, there is also a large number of parasites upon society, those who are appearently content to live from hand to mouth and are ‘satisfied so long as they can maintain themselves against absolute starvation and extreme cold and nakedness, with as little labor as possible, and this number is further aug- mented by that class who exist upon the fruits of petty thieving. While disclaim- | ing any @esire to deny assistance to the | worthy, I am strongly of opinion that to establish a permanent institution of the character suggested would lend encourage- ment to idleness and vagrancy and make Washington an objective point for all the | migratory tramps who now may be in this section. My opinion is that those who are the most worthy of charity are the most reluctant to exposing their needs, particularly in a public place, such as is contemplated. And | by the “most worthy,” I mean those who are unexpectedly exposed to want by idle- ness, sickness or death, against that class who, from being reared In abject pov- erty, or who,from having repeatedly thrown themselves upon charity, have lost all sensi- tiveness and become hardened to the em- barrassment of receiving substantia! aid. But I do not wish to be understood as decrying independent effort, either by the individual, the family, the church, or the society. On the contrary, these are in my opinion an invaluable auxiliary to the As- sociated Charities. To the independent ef- fort of these have many a glad heart, in| young and old, been indebted during this | Christmastide, ‘and many are the acts of | loving and worthy assistance which are being daily bestowed through these chan- neis, without the pangs of exposure. Let the good work go on, individually and collectively, as It has been doing, and, in the meantime. let us, as Mr. Carnegie says, devote our efforts to supplying work for the willing, instead of maintaining a pub- lic feeding house for an army of parasites.

Many of those who have studied the con- dition of the poor in this city believe that the opening of a place where soup can be dispensed to those who hunger would prove of advantage in the work of relief. ‘To- day an enterprise of this sort was started, due to the enterprise of the ladies of the First Reformed Trinity Church, 6th and N streets northwest, Rev. G. Facius, pastor. At a meeting of the Ladies’ Aid Society of that church an offer was made by Mrs. Andrew Loeffler to give free of rent the house No. 1023 7th street, to be used as quarters for a soup kitchen for the poor. The society, of which Mrs. William Muhl- eisen is president, has specially been organ- ized for this work, and the daily distribu- tion of soup and bread began today from 12 to 2 o’clock. A large number of persons having tickets were given food. The tickets can be obtained free of charge at all the Police stations in the District. The as- sistance of the public is solicited by the ladies of the society for aid in carrying on this. charitable work. The kitchen is in charge of the ladies, who will alternate in their tours of duty in superintending the practical operation of this charity. aE Sa A REAL DEER HUNT Enjoyed by the Chevy Chase Clu Their New York Friend: On Saturday the Chevy Chase hunters and a large number from the Monmouth Club of New York engaged in a chase after @ real stag. The light-footed runner was one of a number that have recently come into the possession of the former organiza- tion. The hounds were first warmed up on the usual anise seed trail, starting in the vicinity of the Tunlaw place. They went through the country to the southwest, as far as the receiving reservoir. Then a turn was made. At Somerset Heights the stag was let loose with his head toward the stables of the club, where he had been con- fined long enough to get used to the place. When the hounds saw him they gave re- newed vigor to their legs and when the timid game became aware of the proximity, fleetness and object of the hounds, he sud- denly remembered that he had a pressing engagement at the club stables. The path of stag, hounds and horses was beset with trenches, hills and fences, which added to the excitement of the chase. The hunted animal outdistanced them all and entered his quarters safely, after having given two | or three impressions to the hunters that he was on his way to Europe. _— ANOTHER VICTIM. Mr. Bollinger Dics From the Effect of the Ford's Theater Disaster. Mr. George C. Bollinger, a son of Mr. and Mrs. Christopher G. Bollinger, died yesterday morning at his home, 2209 I street, from the results of injuries received in the Ford’s Theater disaster last June. Deceased was in the twenty-sixth year of his age and was soon to have entered upon the practice of the legal profession. He Was a clerk in the records and pension division and when the old building fell he received no severe injuries, but during the time he was pinned down he inhaled 80 much dust and dirt that his lungs were affected and consumption followed. Fie was a bright young man, with many friends throughout the city. The funeral services will be held tomorrow afternoon 5 o'clock at his late residence and the remains will afterward be taken to Brook- lyn for interment at Greenwood cemetery. —_—__ DEAD IN HIS CHAIR.
