A Committee Looking to Street Car Postal Service—Street Nomen- clature Discussed, Considerable business was transacted at the regular monthly meeting of the Co- lumbia Heights Citizens’ Association, held last evening in St. Stephen’s Parish Hall. President M. A. Ballinger, after the read- ing and approval of the minutes of the July meeting, announced that the applica- tion of the association for a reduction in the telegraph rate for Columbia Heights had been laid before the officers of the Western Union Telegraph Company, and the prospects for favorable action thereon were bright. Mr. Ballinger further stated that baggage carriers had adopted a rate of 50 cents for the first trunk hauled to or frem the heights and 25 cents for each ad- ditional trunk. Fire Alarm Boxes. Chairman H. H. Bergman of the commit- tee on fire alarms reported that a Hst of boxes to be established about Columbia Heights had been furnished him by Super- intendent Miles, end that the committee intended to examine the same and request the erection of any additional boxes that might be ceemed necessary. Mr. Balling-r took occasion to remark that the question of fire alarm boxes was one of tntense interest to every member of the association, adding that at the time of a recent fire on the heights he was unsuc- cessful in searching for an alarm box. Four days later, however, one was located on Florida avenue between 14th and 15th Streets bearing the inscription “Key in of- fice."" The office referred to was demolish- ed three years ago. For the information of the members, President Ballinger stated that the h'gh- Way commission had approved the plan of the association for street extension. Amendments to the Constitutio: Secretary George Simmons offered amend- ments to articles 7, 8 and 9 of the consti- tution, which were unanimously adopted. One provided for the payment of 50 cents as annual dues; another that the officers shall be elected at the regular meeting in May, and the third that the regular meet- ings shall be held on the first Tuesday in each month, unless changed by a majority of the members present at the preceding meeting. The object of the latter amerd- ment is to provide for possible adjfourn- ment in hot weather, and to remove the arbitrary features of the article as it orig- inally stood. The secretary was authorized to have the censtitution and by-laws printed, and then a lengthy discussion ensued as to changing the existing method of notifying members of the time of holding meetings. It was finally decided to adhere to the preseat Plan of mailing postal cards. Some Complaints Made. Messrs. H. A. Kelly, T. K. Hinsdale, Glen W. Cooper and M. L. Saunders were elected members of the association, after which Mr. Gover asked permission to di- rect the attention of the committee on streets and sidewalks to the fact that water from a spring flows constantly down the 13th street hill, rendering the sidewalk slippery and dangerous. Several members explained that the water complained of was not from a spring, but escaped from a main introduced several years ago by Mr. A. L. Barber to supply water for his stable, and which has since become de- fective. Chairman Pixton of the commit- tee on nuisances was directed to call the attention of the owner of the property to the matter. Mr. Pixton denounced as a nuisance the practice of certain persons in removing sod from and dumping manure on property embraced in Columbia Heights, but the chairman replied that the association pos- sessed no authority to interfere with the actions of individual property owners. Street Car Postal Scrvice. Dr. Gisburne moved that the secretary be directed to inform the postal authorities that Columbia Heights desired a trial of the street car postal service, but a motion was substituted and carried for the ap- pointment of a committee of three to pre- sent the matter to the authorities. The chair named as the committee Dr. Gis- burne, chairman, and Messrs Husted and fer. Information as to the intention of the Commissioners regarding the naming of the new streets to run east and west through Columbia Heights was asked by Mr. Jeffreys, and Secretary Simmons re- plied that no plan to that end had as yet been adopted. Mr. Simmons then offered a resolution that the executive committee of the association be directed to bring the at- tention of the proper authorities to the subject, with the view of securing remedial legislation on the existing unsystematic and confusing system of street nomenclature in the District. The resolution was adopted, and the meeting adjourned. ——— HOLMES’ BABY. He Thinks Its Mother Not a Fit Per- son to Care for It.” John C. Holmes, a man who has been employed in several hotels, made complaint to the Humane Society that he wanted his eleven-months-old child taken from its mother and turned over to himself cr some institution. The infant and its mother were cared for at the first police station last night. Mrs. Holmes was not arrested, but she remained there with the child, in order to have the young one present in court today. This morning while she was in the police station she was persuaded to sign a paper, in which, it is claimed, she made admissions which will be used in the prospective divorce proceedings. When the case reached the Police Court this morn- ing Prosecuting Attorney Jeffords tolle prossed it, and the mother took the infant home with her. The alleged confes- sion obtained from the woman, it is thought, may not be accepted by the court when divorce proceedings are in-.| stituted, because of the circumstances un- der which the statement was obtained. SS Sammering in Virginia. Correspondence of The Evening Star. BUCKLAND, Va., August 6, 1895. This is indeed a garden spot of old Vir- ginia, and the homes of some of the most prominent people are in the immediate neighberhood. The picturesque home of the Tylers stands on a hill overlooking the village. and the little stream of Broad Run and in the midst of a grove of fine old trees that shade the porches, though do not in- terupt the view of the Bull Run mountains nor the invigorating breeze. The farms around include the homes of the Lees, the Dulaneys, Carters, and Chews, and nearly all of them have friends visiting them, which makes the country very lively. Phil- adelphia, Pittsburg and Richmond are well represented in the neighborhood. Virginia roads are proverbial for their rougness, but a cure for dyspepsia. Picnics to Spout Spring and High Point in the farm wagons on straw are very popular, and the merry shouts of the young people as they are tested about can be heard daily almos' ——_—__ Death of Mra.

The company intends also to build a branch from Sandy Spring to Laurel. A park is to be constructed at the crcss- ing of the northwest branch of the Potomac river (Eastern branch) three and a half miles from Takoma Park. There the com- pany will construct a dam eighty feet high, for the double purpose of creating a lake and as well for obtaining water power for generating electricity. Competent en- gineers have been secured, who have made estimates of the water power at 350 horse power. .By the construction of a second dam, 700 horse power can be obtained. At this park it is proposed to erect a magnifi- cent hotel and to have all modern amuse- ments. The elevation at the crossing of the northwest branch is 400 feet above tide- water. The company also proposes by the terms of its charter to erect water works to su ply suburban towns, and particularly Ta- Koma. They have also reserved the right to furnish electric lighting to Takoma and other points along their line. Complete estimates have been obtained as to cost of dams, power houses, dynamos, Machinery, buildings, &c. The company is capitalized at $1,500,000, and bonds will be issued for $800,000, thirty years, six per cents. It is claimed’ that there will be no lack of capital, much if which is already as- sured, to build the road as rapidly as the company desires. Surveys have been com- pleted as far as Burnt Mills and rights of Way secured, with two or three exceptions.

Sherwood, a fresco painter and decorator, came near ending als spree in death yesterday afternoon. He drank enough laudanum to have killed several persons, but he was under the care of physicians so soon that he was relieved of his deadly dose, and now he has recovered. Sherwood, who is a married man, has not lived with his wife recently, but has board- ed at Mrs. Walker’s, No. 810 H street north- west. About 5 o'clock yesterday he return- ed to the boarding house under the influ- ence of liquor. He was very nervous, and told some of the people in the house that he was going to take some laudanum to make him sleep. No attention was paid to his remark, as the ladies to whom he made it thought he was joking. But he did go out and get the laudanum, and soon afterward a doctor was called. An hour later the sick man was taken to the Emergency Hospital, and when he reached there he was appar- ently dead. Heroic treatment was neces- sary to resuscitate the dying man, and after some hard work the efforts of the physi- clans were rewarded. Mrs. Sherwood and her son live in North- east Washington, and they called at the hospital to see the supposed dying man. Mrs. Sherwood has been in the country, and the husband had learned that she had re- ceived an anonymous letter from here tell- ing of his drinking. This seemed to worry him, and it is thought caused him to get in- toxicated yesterday. It was about 11 o'clock last night before the man was restored to consciousness, and he may be able to leave the hospital today or tomorrow. aS The Golden Cros: At the last meeting of Potomac Com- mandery, United Order of the Golden Cross, the officers for the present term were in- stalled by Deputy Grand Commander Geo.

A New Disposition of the High Grad- uates From Went Point. Acting on the recommendation of Gen. Craighill, chief of engineers, Secretary La- mont has made a new departure in the dis- position of graduates of the Military Acad- emy assigned to tke corps of engineers. Eaward £, Schultz, who stood No. 1 in his class, has been sent to Charleston to duty under the direction of Capt. Abbott, and Harry Burgess, who stood No. 2, has been sent to Savannah under Capt. Carter. Here- tofore, it has been the practice to send the graduates assigned Yo the engineer corps to Willet’s Point for three years’ instruc- tion. Gen. Craighill thinks this makes too long a period of schooling, and he pointed out to Secretary Lamont that if these young men were sent for a year to duty on fortifications, rivers and harbors, and light- hcuse building, and then for the course at Willet’s Point, they would be in much bet- ter mental condition to take the course than when coming directly from the acad- emy. —___-e___ Hurt at a Wild West Show.

To the Editor of The Evening Star: Mr. A. H. Bailey and your other corre- spondent, who favor a reduction of the number of rides and a corresponding re- duction of fare upon commutation railroad tickets, fall into the common error that “they are the pecple.”” There are many riders upon commutation tickets, who, like myself, are not so fortunate as to work for Uncle Sam and who work seven days in the week instead of six. Any reductioa in the number of rides would work a serions hardship upon us. A TELEGRAPHER. Rifle Practice.

The Poles on G Street Must Come Down and Probably No Permit Will Be Given to Erect New Ones. As stated in yesterday's Star, in an ex- clusive announcement of the correspond- ence concerning the telegraph poles to be removed in widening G street, the Commis- sioners are anxious wherever it is practi- cable to get the overhead wires of the city underground. Yesterday the attorney for the District was called upon to state exact- ly the authority of the Commissioners in the matter. There is little doubt, it is said, that the Commissioners are vested with sufficient authority to put the wires along G street underground. If they can compel the telegraph company to bulld a conduit along this street, it will be the means of finally compelling all wires to be buried. A Good Case. ‘The case upon which the Commissioners base their hopes is a good one, they think, and there is little reason to doubt the out- come. They decide to widen G street. To ¢o this, the line of telégraph poles will either have to be removed or replaced upon the new street iine, The latter is not feasi- ble, in view of the contracted sidewalk, and the former is the much desired thing the Commissioners hope for. And it would seem according to the police regulations, and the law governing the erection ef poles, that the Commissioners are vested with ample power. When the street is widened the poles will be standing in the roadway, and if after theCommissioners notify the telegraph company to remove Its ‘poles the telegraph company refuses, it can be proceeded against, the same as the Eckington railroad was, for maintaining a nuisance, by unlaw- fully obstructing the street. The Poles Must Come Down. One thing is certain, the poles along G street must come down, and it rests en- tirely with the Commissioners whether or not they can pe moved to the new side- walk line. No poles can be erected without & permit, and the Commissioners will in all probability refuse one. This will tend to compel the telegraph company to resort to underground conduits. It was stated to- day upon good uuthority that the telegraph ccmpany would have something to say when the time came, and — tbe een ee the courts if necessary. on. e other hand the Commissioners are advised that they are powerless to force the wires un- derground special legislation covering the whole subject will be sought at the next session of Congress. There are a number of narrow streets with their sidewalks al- ready seriously obstructed by telegraph poles, and this together with the reco) mendation of Chief Parris, who is @op- Posed to overhead wires, will form the basis of arguments to be presented to Con- gress asking for the much-needed legisla- ton, Laths, $1.90 1,000.
