MORE TIME FOR THE ECKINGTON ROAD The Projected East Washington Belt Line Approved. THE METROPOLITAN LINE ——————— After The Stur’s report of the proceed- ings in the House closed yesterday after- noon a number of local bills were passed. ‘The bill to incorporate the District of Co- lumbia Suburban railway was passed. The route as called for in the amended bill be- gins at the District line am the Bladensburg road, and strikes the Boundary at its in- tersection with the Bladensburg road, at 15th street northeast. Tnat is one of the suburban lines. The other suburban line comes down 12th street extended from Trinidad, and runs over to Brookland and Langdon. This line, coming down 12th street northeast extended, crosses the Boundary; crosses H street, the line of the Columbia railroad, and comes to Maryland avenue. Thence the line extends by double track down Maryland avenue in the direc- tion of the Capitol to E street east; thence west on E street east to 4th street west; thence south on 4th street west to D street west; thence along D street over the tracks of the Metropolitan railroad to Louisiana aventle; thence southwesterly on Louisiana avenue to a point, to be located by the Com- missioners, east of 7th street west. That brings it along E street northeast until it strikes Judiciary Square. It then goes south of the square until it strikes the tracks of the Metropolitan railroad on D street, and thence along the track of that road just south of Judiciary Square to Louisiana avenue, near the police headquarters, where it leaves D street and runs down Louisiana avenue. Mr. Hepburn secured an amend- ment to pay te the District al fines col- lected for misdemeanors against the rail- road. The Capital Railway Company. Another new street railway bill was then taken up. This is a bill to incorporate the Capital Railway Company, a road that pro- poses to bring milk and truck to the city over the following route: Beginning at a point on the District line near the Poto- mac river, southeast of Shepherd's Ferry, thence north by sfch route as shall be ap- proved by the District Commissioners to the south side of the Eastern branch or Anacostia river, thence across the same by transfer ferry to Ist street or South Capitol street, as may be approved by the District Commissioners, to M street, over the samme route to the beginning; also commencing at Anacostia railroad tracks and Harrison street, Anacostia; thence along Harrison street and Good Hope road extended to the District line, and return over same route. These routes may be modified or extended at the will of Congress, and the Capital Railway Company shall comply with such moditications or extensions. The Metropolitan Bill. The bill was passed. Mr. Richardson then called up the bill to amend the route of the Metropolitan railway and to author- ize the new suburban transfer system. The bill authorizes the Metropolitan Company to omit laying an underground electric con- duit on 4% street from L street to O street southwest,and in the place and stead there- of the said company is hereby authorized and required to lay down and continue its undergreund electric construction and tracks at and from the corner of 4% street and L street southwest, running thence west on L street to Water street, thence in a southeasterly direction on Water street to O street, thence east on O street to 414 street, thence south on 4% street to P street, thence east on P street into the said ccmpany’s power station, thence returning frcm the power station on 44 street by the same route to 4% and L streets southwest, and thence north by the said company’s tracks as new located into its depot on 7th street extended. Also to lay down and continue its underground electric construc- tion of single track at the intersection of © and 35th streets northwest, thence run- ning west along O street to 3tth street, thence south on 36th street to Prospect avenue, thence east on Prospect avenue to Both street, thence north on 35th street to © street, thence east, continuing its route ax now located. The transfer amendment is as follows: That the Brightwood Railway Company, the Rock Creek Railway Company and the Gecrgetown and Tenleytown Railroad Com- pany be, and they are hereby, respectively, authorized and required to sell four coupon tickets for 25 cents, good for one continu- ous ride in the District of Columbia over the lines of said companies, respectively, and the lines of the Metropolitan Railroad Company, and the said suburban roads shall redeem the tickets collected by the Metropolitan Railroad Company at the rate of 2% cents for each coupon ticket pre- sented by the said Metropolitan Railroad Ccmpany. Any of the aforesaid railroad ecmpanies which shall refuse to make sale of tickets or to accept tickets so sold as herein provided for shall be liable to a fine of $50 for each such violation, to be recov- ered in the Police Court of the District of Columbia as other fines are recovered: Pro- vided, That the proceeding for the collec- tion of such penalty shall be commenced wiain thirty days from the date of the al- leged refusal. The Supreme Court of the District of Colambla shall have, and it is hereby given, authority and jurisdiction to enforce the requirements and provisions of this section in respect of the sale of tickets on the petition of either of the aforesaid. railroad companies or ary citizen of the District of Columbia. And power is hereby given to the Metropolitan Railroad Com. pany and the Rock Creek Railway Com- pany to contract with each other for the purchase, sale, lease or joint operation of the line of said Rock Creek Railway Com- pany on Florida avenue and U street, or any part thereof. That this act shall take effect in thirty days after its passage. The bill was passed. The bill to amend the act incorporating the American University and the bill au- thorizing the delivery of the bodies of de- ceased paupers to medical colleges for dis- section were passed without debate. The East Washington Belt Line. ‘The House then took up the East Wash- ington belt line railway bill. This com- pany proposes to operate a cable road pe- ginning at a point at or near the junction of M street and Florida avenue northeast, and extending thence along M street to 3d street east, thence along 3d street southerly to Virginia avenue southeast, thence along Virginia avenue southeast- erly to I street, thence along I street easterly to 18th street and Georgia avenue southeast, thence along 13th street north- erly to Tennessee avenue, thefice along Tennessee avenue northeasterly to ith street, thence along 14th street northerly to Florida avenue, and thence along Florida avenue northwesterly to M street, the point of beginning. Mr. Bryan of Nebraska opposed the bill because he was informed, he said, that the property owners on 3d’ street southeast objected to the.road on account of the narrow street. He agreed, however, to de- fer his objection upon being informed that it is not well grounded, and the bill was passed. The bill requires reciprocal trans- fer arrangements with connecting roads. More Time for the Eckington Co. Mr. Richardson secured the adoption of the following as an amendment to the East Washington belt line bill: That an additional one year is hereby given to the Eckington and Soldiers’ Home Railroad Company for the removal of the overhead trolley wires on New York avenue. Mr. Richardson explained that the road is putting down the underground electric ystem, and intends to put it on all its stems, but they cannot in the time now allowed them put it down along New York avenue and its suburban portion, and they ask this extension in order to complete putting down the underground line, and then apply it to the whole system. ‘The House also passed the bill to provide for the striking of juries in the District and the bill to extend the jurisdiction of justices of the peace, both of which have been published in The Star heretofore. ——__-e-_.

The Baltimore Jockey Club began yester- day its initial meeting at Arlington, Md. Probably fifteen hundred people were pres- ent, including several ladies. Washington, Philadelphia and New York had each a good representation. The snowfall of Tues- day night made a sloppy track. Its clay foundation, however, is sald to secure a sure footing for the runners. In the second race Chateau, the favorite, fell at the first turn. In the fourth Mc- Keever fell at the second turn. Neither horses nor jockeys were Injured. The fell- ing was attributed to the anxiety of their jockeys to-cut around the turns too sharp- ly, rather than to any defects in the track itself. The six bookmakers did a spirited business. The winners ‘were Holyport, 8 to 5; Halcyon, 4 to 1¢ Juliet, even; Benja- min, 2:to 5, and Forager, 30 to 1. ©. A. ©. Eléetion.

Mr. Thomas Objects to Part of the Railrond Bill. The attorney for the District has re- turned to the Commissioners House Dill 8806, “to limit the hours of labor of street railway employes in the District of Co- lumbia,” which was referred to him for his views. He says there is no objection to section 1 of the bill, but section 2 is objec- tionable for the following, among other reasons: It prohibits railway companies and their employes from contracting for labor beyond the limit of ten hours a day, except in the case of accident or an un- expected emergency, and that at a com- pensation at not less than 25 per centum in excess of the rate paid for ordinary services. This feature of the bill he re- gards as bad, because it attempts to regu- late the wages of labor, and prevents street railway corporations from making contracts with their employes, except in cases of emergency, and then fixes the extra compensation to be paid. He doubts the right of Congress to regulate the mat- ter of wages between private corporations and their employes. He suggests that all of section 2 after the word “provided” in line 8 be stricken out. With this amend- ment, he says, the bill might be favorably reported. : —_—.___ Attempted Murder. Policeman Sam. Browne of the nintk precinct arrested John Marlow last night and locked him up on a charge of at- tempted murder. About three weeks ago John fired three shots at his father during a row at their home in Ivy City. He dis- appeared as soon as he did the shooting and when he learned yesterday that his father had forgiven him and would again welcome him home he appeared on the streets and was arrested. This morning the case was investigated by Prosecuting Attorney Mullowney. Although the pris- cner’s father does not desire to prosecute him he may be compelled to go on the wit- ness stand when the case is heard next Tuesday. —_.+_—_ Alarm of Fire. Last night about midnight Policeman Kenny turned in an alarm of fire from box 621 for fire in the stable in rear of Carl F. Essinger’s grocery store, No. 1201 12th street extended. There were several horses and cows ‘n the stable. The horses were rescued, but the cows perished in the flames. R. Kraemer's stable was also de- stroyed. On account of, the snow in the streets the engines eXpetienced some diffi- culty in reaching the séene of the fire in time to protect the’ adjoining property. The loss sustained by the owners of the property amounts to early $1,000. $5,000 worth of fine $if and $12 English Trouserings to-order at $6.85, at Simpson's, cor. 12th and F stregts.-Advt. ABOUT GEORGETOWN Sudden Death of Mrs. Johnson While on Her Way to the Theater. eral of Rev. Mr. Thomns—An An- niversary Celebration — Other Interesting Items. While on hér way to the theater last night, in full enjoyment of ker health, and in company with husband and daughter, Mrs. Daniel Johnson, wife of the chief en- gineer of the State, War and Navy Depart- ments, was stricken with apoplexy, which resulted in death thirty minutes later. Mrs. Johnson had left her home, 1017 3ist street, but a few minutes before, and had gone hardly one square away, when the fatal stroke came. It was received while waiting for a car in front of the Farmers’ and Mechanics’ National Bank. She fell, and a crowd gathered quickly. She was carried to the drug store of Gio6m & Ahl, opposite, and immediate remedies applied. Drs. Birdsall and J. F. R. Appleby did all that medical skill and experience suggest- ed, but their efforts were in vain, and at about 8 o'cleck she died. Her husband and daughter were at her side. Mrs. Johnson was about fifty-three years of age. She spoke only once after receiving the stroke. That was as she fell. The words uttered were, “Oh, Dan! Dan!”—the name of her husbar.d. Rev. Mr. Thomas’ Funeral. The Rev. Mr. Thomas (colored) was buried yesterday at Mt. Zion.with ap- propriate ceremony. His death was due to the severity of last Thursday’s weather. He had worked at outside lay employment steadily all day, unmindful of the terrible existing conditions of the temperature. Tcward night he was so affected with numbness that he became deranged and wandered out into the suburbs. He went on until nearly 10 o'clock without food or temporary heat. Finally he made his way heme. On Friday the exposure resulted in death. Working on the Canal. The canal bed in and about Williamsport 1s being cleaned and made ready for the spring trade. There is a big force at work, with Superintendent Hughes in charge. At the upper end of the four locks there is another gang of workmen operating, the repair of the funnel being their principal object. Aloysius Flynn, an employe of the company, met with an accident there on Saturday last of a painful ature. He fell from the lock, a distance of thirty feet. The operations on the canal this coming season are expected to be extensive. More coal will be transported than ever before. In confident anticipaticn of this, boat building is going on with a rush. There are many improvised boat building houses all along the waterway. An Anniversary Celebration. Mr. and Mrs, Alex. Beall of 32d street celebrated appropriately on Tuesday even- ing the twenty-second anniversary of their marriage. Friends in numbers gathered to offer congratulations. Mrs. J. L. McCreary and Mrs. Dieudonne assisted in receiving guests. Snow Complaints. Complaint has been made to the police station kere about the snow and ice on the rotth side of Road street east of 32d. This thcroughfare is beyond the corporate limits of the town and not subject to the regula- tions governing similar conditions in other sections of the place. ‘The M, P, Pennsylvania avenue and K street bridges are thickly covered with snow, causing slushy inconvenience during the day and a slippery surface at night. The police complain that their courtesy in notifying people to clear their sidewalks of snow, instead of swearing out warrants without notice, is being misconstrued. The law does not require them to notify at all, but states explicitly that offenders shall be fined. Notes. John E. Libbey yesterday transferred to Francis B.

To the Editor of The Evening Star: Under the above head The Star of the 12th instant furnished some remarks of ge Kimball in the case of Joseph Mc- Donald. I was glad he found a way not to impose a fine. Perhaps the judge is not aware that there are many streets in our city where the mains are so near the sur- fece that the freeze In the first instance is always at the connection with the main in the street, entirely beyond the control of the householder and of the plumber. This fact ought to be printed in large capitals. Two years ago every householder on C and 2d streets, south and east of square 725, as well as on many other streets, who did not let the water run enough to prevent freez- ing was deprived of water, some of them WORKS BOTH WAYS. “Tt is remarkable how your trip abroad bas im- proved you.’”” “Tt is the use of the Carlsbad Waters that has improved me, more than my trip abroad. I have gained in flesh and strength since I used them, Many persons use them for reducing flesh, because the waters iemove all unhealthy tissues and superabundance of fat, but they also build up firm and solid flesh, which is a sign of perfect heulth.

A for several weeks, and then fined in cost of permits, relaying pavements and plumb- ers’ charges from $10 to $60 each; and the freeze was in every instance at the connec- tion with the water main, and the judges, to wit the District officers and the plumb- ers, did not suspend execution in a single case. I was one of those law-abiding Citizens, but having the good fortune to detect the freeze, which occurred in the morning, and to dig at the right point, namely, for the ccnnection in the street, which was reach- ed in the afternoon and thawed with a few buckets of hot water, and no pipes to mend, I got off with the minimum fine of $10, having to pay for the permit and re- laying pavement just the same as if the fault had been mine. But we learned something, for we were informed by the District officers that one is never charged with waste of water who only lets it run just enough in extremely cold weather to prevent freezing. The experience of the winter of 1891-92, with its deprivation of water and expense to the citizens, new pavements cut into patches, still a forceful reminder, and streets flooded with water for days from bursted pipes, ought to teach those in power that there should be some provision of law whereby the real party in fault, whether government or citizen, shall bear the burden; and until such provision is made great care should be taken not to impose hardship and expense upon the householder. In the light of the experience recited, it is very doubtful whether per- mitting water to run a little in extremely cold weather is a waste. I reside at 220 2d street northeast, and having had no water on the second floor for two weeks have, perhaps, as good cause to complain as any one, but will cheerfully endure the deprivation during very cold weather rath- er than have the poor—who, I fear, are the first to be charged—subjected to annoyance and expense in fines. They have difficulty enough in these hard times in their effort to supply their absolute needs, and when the people are using every means to secure bread for the hungry it seems unwise, by fines in this matter, to snatch from their mouths the bread earned by hcnest men. Plain suggestions by the inspectors as to use of water will undoubtedly be sufficient. There should be no arrests until after the householder has been warned. The warm weather will soon remove all the difficulty. R. N. TILTON. ——.__ Printing Office Change. William S. Waterbury of Ballston, N.

Wonderful pro- gress has been made by the medical pro- fession within the past decade. The dld= fashioned idea that a good medicine had to taste bad to do any good is banished for= ever and the best remedies are now ad= ministered in more pleasant form. An-= other great improve- ment is the admin-= istering of medicines imtabuleortrichurett form, instead of in the liquid form as previousiy. Among the best known of the latter prescriptions is Ripans Tabules —a combination of the best drugs in the best proportion to do the mest good in such disorders as dyspepsia, indiges= tion, constipation, heartburn, bilious- ness, &c. Almost any doctor will prob- ably give you a pre= scription very similar to Ripans Tabules —most of them wiil advise you to consult your nearest druggist and ask for a box of Ripans. Very easy to take—one gives relief. 50c. Box.. - All Druggists. LADIE Beautified For Parties, &c : fying parties, dinners, &c. Do it so skilifull as to defy the most mi- nute inspection.
