To the Editor of The Evening Star: The matter of adopting a revised street nomenclature for the city, made necessary by the extension of its northern limits and the exhaustion of its present alphabet- ical system of naming, is one of far-reach- ing importance, exacting the most careful consideration of those authorized to decide in the matter. A system at once compre- hensive, harmonious and _ determinate should be provided. This is due a capital destined to be one of the largest, as it is in conception. the grandest city in the world. It should be borne in mind that the new_boundary, though co-extensive with the District limits, does not limit a further expansion. In fifty years, it is estimated, the city will contain a population of one million, when a new boundary will have to be established far out in Maryland. Any proposition for naming not based on such apprehension of growth must result in in- extricable patchwork. Some five years ago there appeared in The Star a communication from Capt. How- ell (if the name is correctly remembered), proposing, in view of the extension of the city limits, that the lettered system of naming east and west streets be discarded, and numbered avenues substituted. Th. A street would take the name of Ist ave- nue, B street 2d avenue; W street would become 22d avenue, and so on indefinitely. The proposition is admirable, but does not cover the whole plan. Having appropriated “avenue” for street in the lettered system, the present “state” avenues, to avoid com- plication, require other designation, one comporting with their magnitude, and should be denominated “boulevards. Here is proposed an exact system of nam- ing, limitless in application. The future city map would exhibit: 1. The present numbered north and south streets. 2. The proposed numbered east and west avenues. 8. The proposed diagonal boulevards, named after states. If thought desirable, the classification might be extended, and the name “place” given to short and irregular streets. It has been proposed in the columns of The Star that the new east and west streets com- mencing above W be named in serial order after cities, rivers, lakes, etc., ete., the names to be in alphabetical sequence in each series. Advancing street nomencla- ture in this way by sections would lead to unending complexity. Few residents in as- certaining locality would remember the order of precedence; strangers could not afford the time to master its intricacy. Take the name “Erie.” Who but a local geographer would be able to determine to what series it belonged—to the city, or to the river and lake series? Visitors here should not be perplexed with the ascertain- ment of locality—the names of the streets or avenues of themselves ought to an- nounce locality relatively. D.W.C.B. —— To Take the Bonds to Europe. _ Assistant Secretary Curtis will leave New Yerk next Wednesday and Chief Clerk Carlisle will leave on the 29th instant to superintend the delivery in London of $30,- 000,000 in United States bonds to the Mor- gan-Belmont syndicate. Each gentleman will be assisted by expert clerks and the ponte will be divided between the two par- es. t AFFAIRS IN ALEXANDRIA Using Colored Firemen on the Southern Railway. A Stccessfal Boat Club—Other Loca} Notes of Interest to All Classes of Citizens, The employment of colored firemen on the Southern railway is still causing a great deal of talk in this city. Mr. C. F. Thomas, the master mechanic of the Vir- ginia Midland division, says that it is the policy of the company to employ negroes, but that white men will not be deposed to give employment to the blacks. It is un- derstood, however, that all vacancies will be filled with negroes,as they can be gotten for about $85 per month, while the white firemen are paid from § to $75 a month. A delegation of negroes from Washington called on Master Mechanic Thomas yester- day and insisted upon his carrying out the orders of President Spencer in regard to the employment, and they said, “If you can’t find enough colored men here in Al- exandria to take the places, we can send you all you need. from Washington.” Theengineers are not at all satisfied with the condition of affairs, and It is said that several of them have resigned when they found negroes in their cabs. Old Dominion Boat Club. It has been determined by the members of the Old Dominion Boat Club to reor- ganize the club and do away with the old stock plan, which, they say, prevents the club from forging ahead. The following officers have been ‘re-elected for the en- suing year: Albert Bryan, president; J. Hanson Price, vice president; J. F. Peyton, secretary; H. R. Burke, treasurer; L. B, Uhler, captain; Ashby Miller, first Heuten- ant; C. W. Ashby, second lieutenant, and G. W. Ramsay, C. F. Thomas, L. E. Uhler and J. J. Green, trustees. A reorganization committee has been appointed and the plans will be perfected at once. The prop- erty of the old club will be purchased by the new. Fern Leaf Cake Walk. ‘The Fera Leaf Club, the leading colored organization of this city, gave a cake walk at Odd Fellows’ Hall, on South Columbus street, last tight, and it was largely at- tended, a number of white people occupy- ing special seats, which had been provided for them. There were about twenty couples in the contest, and the prizes were awarded to Howard Skelton, as being the best male walker, and Fannie Carr, as the best female walker. Messrs. McLearen, Downey; Harlow, Keegan and Keogh acted as judges. The exhibition of fancy walking was particu- larly good. The Young People’s Union. The Young People’s Union of the Second Presbyterian Church held their regular monthly meeting in the lecture room of that church last night. It was largely at- tended, and a pleasant evening was spent by all. A highly interesting program of music euneecttatons was rendered and much en< Police Court. There were no cases of importance before Mayor Strauss In the police court this morning, and it took him but a few mo+ ments to dispose of the following cases} H. McMann, charged with being drunk in the street, was fined $2.50; J. T. Bailey, the contractor who whipped young Harvey. Poss, was fined $2 and costs. Notes. L. H. Thompson and R. E. Knight will, it is sald, be candidates for police commis- sioner from the first ward. * There were no prisorers in the station house last night. The Episcopal High School Base Ball Club will cross bats with a team from the Mary- land Agricultural College at the High School grounds tomorrow afternoon. Mr. Wm. E. Chauncey is very sick at his home on South Fairfax street. Mrs. Hannah Bellew had a bad.faltat the corner of Prince and Fairfax streets yes4 terday. No bones were broken, but she was painfully bruised. There is a great deal of complaint of rub- bish piles being left in the streets without proper lights, as required by law. It is understood that the Hydraulian Firé Company will not take part in the confede erate memorial exercises on the 2ith in- stant. The Mount Vernon regents are in session at Mount Vernon. The Occoquan and Woodbridge Telephons Company has an experimental line in ope ration from one end of King street to the other. If Gov. O'Ferrall insists on keeping troops at Pocahontas the Alexandria Light In- fantry will, in all probability, be ordered there to relieve one of the companies now. in service. : Capt. George A. Mushbach has returned, from a trip to New York. It is said the new steamer Newport News will be put on the route between Washing- ton, this clty and Norfolk about the 15th of June. AQ ——._—_ THE NAVY YARD AND THE FLATS, A Menace to Health Commented on by. a Medical Board. . The Secretary of the Navy has referred to the District Commissioners for such action as they may deem proper a report on the sanitary condition of the Washings ton navy yard, made by a naval board, consisting of Medical Director Gihon and Surgeons Wise and Magruder. They re. port the yard in good condition and pro« vided with modern sanitary arrangements, While the causes of disease originating within the limits of the yard have been reduced to a minimum, the yard is, never- theless, subject to climatic influences inci- dent to its proximity to the flats, and ess pecially to miasmatic emanations theres from during the prevalence of southerly and ewesierly winds. According to the board the yard is further menaced by the insanitary condition of the city sewers out- side the eastern and western boundaries, as is shown by the fact that the men who have most frequently succumbed to sick- ness are those who have been on duty near those stations. The board recommends that the District authorities be urged to expedite the repair of the 6th street sewer outside the west boundary of the yard, and to continue the 9th street sewer on the eastern boundary of the yard to deep water. It further urges that the sewer in the yard be unobstructed, cleaned and prcperly tapped, according to the District regulations, and flushed during dry weath- er. With the changes suggested the board is of opinion that the yard itself will be placed in a perfect sanitary condition, but that the liability to malarial poisoning of its residents will not be entirely removed until the flats on the opposite shore of the river shall have been entirely reclaim ed. ——___--e. The Disputed South Carolina Laws. The state administration of South Caros lina has by no means given up the regis- tration laws declared unconstitutional by Judge Goff. Only one county supervisor of registration, W. Briggs Gteer of Richland, was enjoined from performing the duties of his office. All will proceed as if no in- junction had been issued. When Green is arrested for contempt of court habeas corpus proceedings for his release will be brought before the United States Supreme Court, and thus a review of Judge Goff’s decision will be obtained. Attorney Gen- eral Barber has left for Washington to commence habeas corpus proceedings in the United States Supreme Court for the release of Constable Beach, who was ar- rested in Charleston for seizing liquor, in violation of Judge Simonton’s injunction, These proceedings are intended to get the Supreme Court to pass upon Judge Simons ton’s decision that part of the dispensary law is unconstitutional. zs spp Gold Reserve Increasing. The gold reserve amounts to $97,048,114, an increase since yesterday of $914,203. Of the increase $750,000 was deposited by the bond syndicate, $25,000 was exchanged at Boston for small United States notes and $20,000 exchanged at Philadelphia for sil- ver certificates. The remainder was taken in at the several subtreasuries and assay offices. During the last few days there has been a heavy demand for small notes, $2 and $5, which the officials are unable to account for,
