REAL ESTATE GOSSIP! a Appreciation of Property Has Fol- lowed Rapid Transit. —_—_-+———_ WEGLECTED PROPERTY BECOMES ACTIVE ———— Problem of Direct Connection Be- tween City and Suburban Roads. PROPOSED TRANSFER SYSTEM —— ‘The vital connection between property interests and rapid street railway transit 1s generally appreciated. The eligibility of Tesident sections depends largely upon the facilities for reaching the business center. ‘The average ciy resident cannot afford to pay either filgh fares or spend an unreason- ‘able time in going from his home to his business. Cheap fares and rapid transit Bave transformed many an acre of farm lend into ¢ity lets, and this process 1s such &@ common ene that few residents of Ameri- can cittes\are unfamiliar with its details. The same principle applies to the method of communication between a city’s center ard the distant sections as to the city as @ whole and its suburbs. A recent illustra- tion of the effect of improved and modern street jailroad facilities was afforded when 2 was made in the motive power hington and Georgetown rail- At the extreme ends of the lines of ation within the city limits not the salue of property appreciaied, cries of improvements was begun which resulted in the erection of a large number of desirable resiience and business buildings Effeet ef the Cable System. In fact, #3 seon as it was definitely known that the read would adopt the cable sys- tem the influence ef property beg2n to ‘Ge felt, and an active mariet was fovpd fer property which had for years Jama neglected. In this case neither the location nor the eharacter of the property was changed, but owing to the saving tn time of the cable system, as ecmpared with the horse cars, e:l these remote sections were brought near in point of time to the business center of city, with the natural result of a decidcd enhancement in value. An Expected Change. Something similar may be expected when @ change Jn ihe rctive power of the Metro- politan ralirce’ is made. During the pres- ent week #he Senate passed what is known as the Metropolitan bill, which requires that company td adopt some underground system ef-street-czr propulsion. As the ‘Bin, whic came froma the House, was ccon- widerably amended in the Smate, it will be aecessary for the measure to go to a went ference committee of the two houses. It ts belleved that there ts favorable prospect Yor the enactment of this measure into a law at the present session of Congress. While the lines of this road lie entirely within the old limits of the city, yet there is good reason to believe that the great improve- ment in the service, which the pending legislation contemplates will have the effect of promoting not only land values, but improvements of various sorts, ciatiy at the remote ends of road ond In the outlying regions of the | suburbs. Advantages of Suburban Residents. When the change in the motive power of this rond is pe-fected, then what may be termed the two trunk lines of the city t railroads will be equipped with rapid | running into the suburbs have the overhead trolley, and, therefore, the service fs a rap!d one. It is something of an apomaly for suburban resi-_| dents to enjoy more modern street car fa cllitles then the meeple who reside in city, but this is the situation just now in this city, and the citizens, as a rule, have been willing to endure the inconvenience rather than to'tonsént to aMcting the city | ¥ with the overhead wires. In other cities | where people ere not so patient or not so | wise the introduction of the trolley cys- teers Would be glad, io get | he gtowing ruisance and peril of cverhead wires. , t 48 2 A Transfer System Needed. It is probable tiafwomeé solution Will scon be reached of the groblem, of a more direct connection between the city and the subur- ban roads. Under the present system sub- urban residents are compelied to, pay two fares, one over the suburban roads and another when they enter the city-and take the city Hnes to thelr_places of business, ‘The Commissiohérs recently recommended to Congress thg ado; of a.asystem of transferS costing not more than two cents each, to be issued by city and suburban roads, thus giving a continuous passage-trip from the suburbs to the eenter of the city for one fare and the cost of a transfer. There js no question that the adoption of such a system would be of great advantage | to the suburbs snd ‘it/is believed that it would further tend to solve the rather per- plexing questfoh which ‘now confronts the suburban roads of an entrance into the city. As ia well knovn, there is a decided opposition on the part of the citizens te the giving up of the streets for the use of rail rozds, except in cases of absolute necessity. It is practically impossible to grant all the suburban railroads an independent entrance into and through the city. Some Improvements. An attractive residence ts to be by Howard 8. Nyman at Chevy Chase. It is to} be two stories, cellar and attic, 50x35, with an L 20x40, and will have flat front of pebble-dashed bricks, with overianging roof of Spanish tile,i/broad werandas at each side, balcontes at second-story windows, by steam heat, electric fixtures, and other modern ccnventences. ‘The chapel in Oak Hill cemetery 1s to have a general remodeling. This will in- clude parquetry floors, stained glass win- dows, gas radiators for eating, plumbing and wall decoration. Mrs. Ellen P.-Ppie-W!l-Balld-a- residence at 15th street cnd Kenesaw avenue.

According to the statements of those con- nected with the Columbian Iron Works y, Says the Baltimore Herald, it is able that the disabled cruiser y will be sent to Baltimore for 'S the dispate! from Norfolk, re- ecived on the 4th, seemed to ifidicaté. “The vessel can be repaired et Norfolk as well as here,’ said one of the officials yesterday. “f do not see that there is any reason to bring the ship to Baltimore when it is much ‘ler to send the patterns, &c., to Norfolk. ‘The dry dock at the iren works ts now oc cupied by the Neptune line ship Delano, and she will not be completed for a month.” The bad luck which has foliowed™the Montgomery since her first trial trip has earned for her the reputation of being the Jonah of the navy.” It is unfortunate that such a series of accidents should have marred the career of a ship which is one of the finest of Uncle Sam's fleet, but by a strange fatality the name of the Montgom- ery has been linked with stories of dis- asters and mishaps ever since she has been afloat. On her first builders’ trial a steam pipe blew out and two men’s lives paid the penaity. Then on her official trial she was stove harml on a ledge of rocks near New London, Conn. Returning .to Baltimore she to undergo extensive repairs, and leaving again for a second speed trial burst a pipe while at sea, which damage, however, was very slight. On her official trip against time she acquitted herself in a manner to make her builders proud of her, and leav- ing Baltimore she went to Norfolk, where the finishing touches were given to.the ves- sel. Then, just when everybody was anx- fcus to see the Montgomery go into commis- sion, the splendid machinery was wrecked, anc all on account of a loose bolt. Sailors, who are a superstitious lot of fellows, look upon these accidents, following one upon the other In quiek succession, as boding no good for the future of this particular craft. Among mariners a vessel which has been as ill-fated as the Montgomery gets a bad rep- utation and is shunned. While it seems un- kind to thus allude to 80 handsome a ship, it is a fact that the Montgomery, even dur- ing her brief career, has Well earned the ude “Jonah of the navy.” “a a The Worst Featare of It. = Prom Puck, Hod A.

AND COMMISSIONS The Next Interstate Drill and En- campment. NOTES OF INTEREST > Maj. Otto L, Suess, in command of the joint encampment of the fifth battalion, the provisional com pany of the engineer corps, it Is diMcult to concelve wherein a hitch can occur, Mr. Al. P. Geter, the well-known Washington grocer, is the asststant com- missary of the fifth battalion, and his long business training especially fits him for this particular duty. shipping bill for each day and every article is to be promptly on hand at the time needed, Two teams and three men are en- gaged at the Washington end of the c missary department, and there is suffic work in view to keep them all busy un after the outing. The cooking will be done by five cooks, Taylor, a veteran army cook, Taylor’ has been attached to the commissary department of the fifth battalion for five years and has given gen- eral satisfaction to all concerned during that period. The force of company waiters are to be divided into two squads, “Sq No. 1” is to look after the tables knewn as “Row A,” which will be subdivided into sections to correspond with the number of the walter. The number is to be promt nenily displayed on the front of each cap. “Squad No. 1" must also wash the dishes, scrub the tables after each meal, and p lice the mess tent. The duties to he at- tended to by “Squad No. 2,” in addition to waiting on “Row B,” are peeling potatoes, carrying water, cutting wood and tran companies A and C of the sixth battalion, the second separate company and the ambu- dance corps, to be held at Marshall Hall from Saturday, July 28, until Monday, Au- gust 6, next, has finally completed all ar- rangements in regard.to dining require- ments during the outing. Heretofore it has been the custom at simi- lar encampments to use tin plates and the government tin cups; but this summer Maj. Suess intend: not enly to surpass every- thing previously attempted in the way of a menu, but also to. hdve thé mess tent in such a@ condition that no‘fault can possibly be found by the most exacting. The tent referred to will be 17 feet in length, con- taining a double row-of tables, with seating capacity for 420, allowing twenty inches to each man. As the guard‘and the band are to be served prior to the command proper, each diner is assured of sufficient room at the tables. Acting in accoréance avith a suggestion from Gen. Ordway, Maj. Suess and Lieut. Swigart visited Fort Washington on Thurs- day last and selected china piates, coffee mugs and a complete table equipment from the stores of the National Guard, located at that post. The cooking during the encampment will be done at an open camp fire, and the baking of beans, meats, etc., in a fifteen- foot brick bake-oven, to be erected by the advance guard. Col. McKibben at present has_a force of men at work digging a well at a distance of tem feet from=the cook houge, thus furnishing. everything neces- sary, and concentrating the entire commis- sary department within an objéng ‘space 58 by-30 yards. 2 ‘The bill of fare is at present almost com- pleted, the principal object in view being to furnish well-cooked, clean and wholesome ‘Stetuals. Maj. Suees states that at all the former Dist! National Guard encamp- tended the culinary r rule applied, and also “everyone received an abrndance of food, ~ ‘o prepare meala for the command at Marshall Hall this year will be no small undertaking, but from the manner in which the arre=-aments have been syatematized porting supplics from the wharf to the tent. Capt. William H. Myers, the battalion quartermaster, is in charge of the com- missary department in the field. He is assisted by Lieut. Kingsley, quartermaster of the fourth battalion, Commissary Sergt. E. E. Van Norsdell of the second regiment, Post Commissary Sergt. James D. Leeman and Quartermaster Sergt. I. E. Barton. In arranging the matters in connection with this department Maj. Suess believes that not the slightest detail has been over- looked, and two hours after the arrival cf the command at Marshall Hall everything should be running in regulation style. The menu card will be ready for publica- tion on Thursday next, and is to be posted on the bulletin board by the first sergeant each day after retreat. Dishonorably Discharged. The dishonorable discharge of Private A. B. Eaton, company A, second battalion, thas been revoked and an honorable dis charge issued in its stead. The dishonora- ble discharges of Corporals Thomas A.

Ordway’s scheme of a battalion, composed exclusively of ex-High School cadets, as the | membership of the present companies B and D, second battalion, und B and C, third bat- talion, is made up of the young men desig- nated. It is thovcht that the second bat- talion gaps are then to be closed by the | muster in of the National Rifles, Indianapolis Next Year. It is expected that the next Interstate drill and encampment will be held during the summer of 1895 at Indianapolis, for while at | Little Rock the members of the Indianapo- Ms Light Artillery expressed the intention of arranging the affair for their city, if such was possible. The capital of Indiana is more conveniently situated to Washington then the location of any other drill held in recent years, and should the competition cccur in the heosier siate the District of | Columbia National Guard will probably be or two Infantry companies in addition to the commands that returned victorious from Litue Rock. Camps Are Attracting Attention. Company D, fourth battalion (Ordway Rifles), has accepted an invitation from the city cquneil of Sea Isle City, N. J., to camp | at that resort again this season.

The other bull's eyes may also be shot by soldiers when not being used by from Fort Myer. Resignations, &c. Company C, sixth battalion, at a meeting held on Wednesday ing lart, elected Sergt. B. H. Steceks captain, and Seret. W. T. Wood, second lieutenant.
