The Vestry’s Side of the Much-Dis- cussed Subject. Speaking today of the pending bills for the authorization of the use of streets in the Congressional cemetery for burial sites, Mr. O. B. Hallam, one of the members of the vestry of Washington parish, explained to a Star reporter that the-burial ground is the property of the vestry. But ever since the establishment of the cemetery, remark- ed Mr. Hallam, Congress had been interest- ed therein, so that it had always been a quasi public institution. “The parish burial ground,” stated Mr. Hallam, “originally consisted of one city square, No. 1115, situate between E and G and 18th and 19th streets southeast. Short- ly after its establishment the vestry do- nated 400 burial sites to the government, and these have all been utilized. In 1848 Congress granted the vestry the privilege of using any parts of streets between this square and any whole square purchased by the vestry. “Under this act all the adjoining squares south, east and west of square 1115 were purchased and the intervening streets util- ized for burial purposes. In 1858 the ceme- tery was still further enlarged, and by an act of Congress, approved May 18, 1855, the vestry was authorized, with the con- sent of the corporation of the city of Wash- ington, to ‘take, inclose, and use forevel the parts of streets referred to in the pend- ing bill. “That, it will be seen,” continued Mr. Hallam, ‘‘‘7as an absolute grant to the vestry of the parts of streets named. There was, however, in the act a proviso that the vestry should not sell the same, but that ‘the United States should retain and hold such parts thereof as might be laid out for burial purposes for the interment of mem- bers of Congress, or such officers of the government as might die in Washington.’ Thus, the government reserved the right to use the ground for burial purposes. This right the government could assign to any one else when it saw fit to do so, and any person who bought sites adjoining the strects took them subject to this right.” Explaining that there had been filed a Protest against the passage of the bill above referred to, Mr, Hallam stated that the protest was signed by only thirteen out of many thousands of lot owners. The claim that there was any guarantee that the ground should permanently remain as it then was, Mr. Hallam thought, is mani- festiy absurd. “The legislation,” he said, “now pending was recommended by the House District committee in the Fifty-first Congress, and was approved by the Senate committee. It bas in the present Congress passed the House and has been favorably reported by the Senate committee. The streets referred to are some 80 and some 100 feet wide, there 1s an avenue, 25 to 82 feet wide, along the center of each, and the vestry has been compelled for thirty-seven years to keep idle, but sodded and in good order. the 1emainder of the width—a heavy bur- den. The only reason for the reservation was that at that date, 1858, it was antici- pated that the government might use the ground for burial purposes; but experience has shown the contrary, all members of Congress and goverr.ment officers now be- ing taken to their homes for burial. “While the interests of the testants,”” remarked Mr. Hallam, “are purely per- sonal, they undertake to utilize what they conceive to be public objections to the closing of the streets, by reason of the ex- pense that may result from their reopening after the cemetery is abandoned. It is already provided in the act of 1858 that no street shall be opened through the cem- etery, and the pending bill provides that in abandonment of the cemetery for cemetery purposes all right to the use of the streets shall revert to the United States, without cost. This particular cemetery is not at all likely to be ever abandoned. Its topo- graphical situation, with reference to the Eastern branch, precludes any necessity for making thoroughfares. “The vestry,” stated Mr. Hallam, “is re- quired by the bill to contract to keep in repair and good order all the government property (several hundred tombstones and cenotaphs) and to grant to the District the right to enter the grounds to construct a large sewer. The bill is approved by the District Commissioners, and was long since approved by the East Washington Citl- zens’ Association as necessary legislation, and I do not anticipate any substantial op- position to its passage.” —_—_>— Approved by the Spanish Senate. The Spanish senate has approved the mo- dus vivendi between the Antilles and the United States. It is believed that the ne- gotiations for the imposition of protective duties on corn will collapse, several groups in the chamber of deputies opposing such duties. ——_+e+ J. 8.

What would have been a very serious ac- cident had it been a passenger instead of a freight train occurred on the Pennsyl- vania railroad within the limits of this city shortly after midnight last night. A’ southbound freight train was just about leaving this city, when the rails spread in the track just 2s the engine was approach- ing the bridge across Hooff’s run, and six cars from the center of the train rolled down the embarkment, smashing them into splinters and scattering their contents in all directions. Fortunately, the engine had such headway that it got over and did not leave the track. A large crowd gath- ered quickly, and the report was soon over the town that it was a passenger train and a large number of people had been killed and injured. When the excitement had cooled down it was found that no one was hurt, as the crew were in the caboose, at the rear of the train, which did not leave the track, but they received a bad shaking up. A large force of hands was imme- diately put to work cleaning up the wreck and relaying the track, which had been torn up for a distance of about thirty-five yards. No passenger trains were delayed by the accident. Section Hand Killed. As northbound passenger train No. 38 of the Southern railway was passing Mal- jew station, about a mile south of this city, at 8:30 o’clock this morning, it ran over and killed Jake Rhiner, a section hand. The train was stopped and Rhiner’s body put into the baggage car and brought to this city, where it was sent to Demaine's undertaking establishment. Dr. N. N. O’Brien, the company’s surgeon, was sent for to perform an autopsy on the remains. Humane Society at Work. A horse attached to a sleigh, belonging to Mr. Harry McIntosh, fell at the inter- section of King and Pitt streets yesterday evening, and was so exhausted that it could not rise. Miss Fawcett, a member of the Society of Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, who haypened to be passing, no- tilled the police of the occurrence, com- plaining that the working of the horse was cruel. The animal was gotten up several times and placed upon its feet, but was 80 weak that it could not stand. As nothing could be done for it, Lieut. Jas. Smith fired several pistol balis in its brain and re- lieved it from misery. Complaints had heretofore been made to the society that the horse was unfit for use. Virginia Antiquities. The secretary of the Mt. Vernon Branch of the Association for the Preservation of Virginia Antiquities has issued notices for the annual meeting of the association, to be held in Peabody Hall on the night of Tuesday, February 12 next. It is under- stood that Mr. John Goode and Mr. Lewis P. McKenzie have accepted invitations to address the meeting. The members of the association are looking forward to the meeting with much pleasure. Notes. The management of the St. Asaph track here deny the report that Messrs. Carr and McLaughlin have secured a controlling in- terest in the race track. o ‘The school for officers will be held at the armery of the Alexandria Light Infantry, tonight.

Capt. K. Kemper is the local repre- sentative of the club. Maj.

The assessment of the city will be completed about the ist of March, and will, it is said, show a consid- ereble increase in the taxable property in Alexandria. Messrs.

Mrs. Lucy Ann Harrison, a well-known eld colored woman, died at her home on North Columbus street yesterday, in the eighty-seventh year of her age. A german was given last night at the Mount Vernon Hotel, New Alexandria, by Mr. Thomas Smith, which was very large- ly_attended. Mr. J. Lucian Duffy, second assistant foreman of the Columbia 8. F. E.

Mrs. Walsh caught her two children up and ran through the flames to the fire escape. The fire burned their night gowns and scorched their hair and flesh. Icicles hung from the fire escape ladders down which she had to climb. Mrs. Walsh climbed down the first ladder and stood on a level with an ad- joining house, where a man named Richter, who had been awakened by the fire, met her and took the children from her arms. Then Mrs. Walsh was herself assisted down. The surgeon at the hospital to which they were taken said he thought the two children would die. ~— see -—-— Baths Instend of Pianos.
