Pennsylvania Railroad and the Metro- politan Electric Cars—The Com- missioners Hear Arguments. At a special meeting of the board of Commissioners, this morning the subject of issuing a police regulation requiring the Baltimore and Potomac Railroad Company to bring all of its trains to a full stop be- fore crossing the tracks of the Metropolitan railroad at 4% street was taken up for con- sideration. Col. Enoch Totten, counsel for the Baltimore and Potomac Railroad Com- pany, and Superintendent W. N. Bannard, D. N. McKenzie, local superintendent, and John Cassels of the railroad were present. The Metropolitan railroad’s interests were lcoked after by Nathaniel Wilson, attorney, and President S. L. Phillips. The secretary read the letter of the prest- dcnt of the Metropolitan railroad, in which he set forth the reasons why the steam railroad should come to a full stop before crossing the street railroad tracks. As heretofore stated in The Star, the reasons advanced were that the electricity might suddenly be shut off, leaving the cars on the steam railroad tracks, and imperiling the lives of the passehgers. President Phillips of the Metropolitan railroad stated the case of his company. It was no argument for the superintendent of the Baltimore and Potomac Railroad Company to say that the steam railroad was there first and had the right of way. Ccngress had compelled the Metropolitan railroad to change its motive power. It would pe no great delay to stop the steam cars. Perhaps from one-half to one min- ute would be all the time lost, and the steam railroad could very properly make the stops. Col. Totten followed. He thought it would he folly to stop sixty-six trains from three to five minutes to accommodate a car which has, perhaps, three or four people. In other words, inconvenience on an aver- age 150 passengers for a few without any good reason. It was an apprehensive con- tngency. \ The Metropolitan Railroad Company had called attention to the contingencies that might arise whereby that road would not work. Well, if there were any faults in the method or construction it was no fault of the B. and P. R, R. If the Metropoll- tan railroad chose to experiment with new systems of motive power why, it would be unreasonable to compel the B. and P. R. R. to be a party to it. If the system.adopted by the Metropolitan Railroad Company was faulty and did not properly perform its work it was the duty of the Commissioners to make them take it out. If it was so that the cars ynight get stuck it might be wise to employ a couple of mules to help them out. Railroad Encroachments. Mr. Nathaniel Wilson followed. The streets and avenues of the city of Wash- ington were not for the steam railroads. They were for the use of the people, whether they ride in street cars, walk or drive. The object of the proposed regula- tion was for the safety of the public. More people went across the tracks of the B. and P. railroad in the street cars than were carried per day by the steam rail- road. If there should be three or four min- utes lost {t would be incomparable in com- parison to the good that would result from the proposed regulation. The Pennsylvania railroad, he went on, had so encroached on the public streets and-avenues that it believed that {t owned the city and had the urdisputed right to use the strects, parkings and other public spaces as it chose. It was the power that gave these rights to others. “Where do you get your facts and evi- dence about that?’ questioned Col. Totten. “Why, from the decisions of the Supreme Court, where it was necessary to instruct the railroad that Congress had the right ard it alone could say where the tracks of the railroad should go. Then encroach- ments stopped.” “That’s preposterous,” said Col. Totten. “Again, you have stated that this city 1s, beginning to be the most dangerous in the country to operate with steam railroads. And that is right. The reason is manifest. They are not required to take the proper precautions which prevent them from run- ring on a level and do away with those death traps—grade crossings. They have been a menace to cur city for a long time. “In other large cities such things are not allowed. Take Philadelphia, New York cr Boston as an example. It would be per- fectly easy to make the road go above or below the street.” “Do you want a regulation to make us elevate our tracks?” asked Col. Totten. - “No, sir. That is not my purpose. But if the Commissioners had tpe power, I would ask them to pass such a regulation, and they would do it, I am certain. It would be a wise, humane move, and every- body in the city would be glad but the railroad people.” The hearing closed with the promise of the Commissioners to take the subject un- der consideration, although it 4s under- stood the Commissioners will not issue a regulation compelling the steam railroad to stop its cars. ———__ MISSING WITNESS. Charles Fitzgerald Was Fined for i Contempt of Court. Charles Fitzgerald, the missing witness in the Hotel Emrich Sundey bar case, was found here yesterday by Precinct Detective’ Hartigan of the sixth precinct. Fitzgerald left the city the morning tie case was called for trial. He did so without the permissioa of the prosecucing olficer or the court, ana his continued absence resulted in the case being nolle prosed. Lieut. Kelly, in whose precinct the alleged violation was committed, learned that Fitzgerald had gone to Far Rockaway, where he got em- ployment with an {ce company. Monday he returned, and yesterday he was arrest- ed. His excuse was that Mr. Emrich beg- ged him so hard that he could not resist. Judge Mills told him that his excuse was not a good cne, and gave him the extent of the law—forty-eight hours’ imprison- ment and a fine of $20 or sixty days. — Woodburn Citizens, The regular meeting of the Woodburn Citizens’ Association was held last even- ing at Kelly’s store, with President Walker in the chair. After minutes of last meeting were read and approved, Mr. Langley of the commit- tee appointed to secure a site for the new school house about to be erected, reported through Dr. Walker that the Commission- ers had accepted the site offered by the as- sociation, and that it would be paid for out of the appropriation made by Congress as soon as they ‘can get Mrs, Stott’s signature to the deed. That lady is now at Harper's Ferry, but she will be telegraphed to to- day to come to Washington at once for the purpose of closing the deal. The road committee made its report and was instructed to call upon the Commis- sioners to have the Blair road fixed, just above the Burnt Mills road, as it is in bad condition and should be repaired before winter sets in. Mr. Kelly reported that said road had been surveyed recently, and he hoped to give the association a favorable report on it next meeting night. Mr. Meiklejohn of the post office com- mittee reported having~seen Miss Emma Wiltberger of Terra Cotta, whose generous offer the association recently accepted, and that she had the Woodburn letter box all ready to put up, and was only waiting for a regulation lock. As soon as it arrives the new service will be put in operation. There being no further business the meeting ad- journed. > Transfers of Real Estnte. Deeds in fee have been filed as follows: A. M.

Gov. McKinley ond Warner Miller Talk to the Old Soldiers. Correspondence of The Evening Star. CHAUTAUQUA, N. Y., August, 26,1995. The Chautauqua County Veterans’ Union turned out in full force last Friday and Saturday to attend the camp fire and other exercises provided for their entere tainment by the Chautauqua Assembly. ‘They began to arrive early Friday morning, and at ex-Senator Warner Miller’s lecture on “The Nicaraugua Canal” that afternoon the audience was largely composed of blue-coated veterans. In the evening the camp-fire, in representation of and yet in striking contrast to those of days gone by, blazed forth by means of several incandes- cent lights upon a platform, on which were seated Gov. Mckinley of Ohio, ex-Senator Warner Miller, Dr. Theodore L. Flood, Congressman Chas: W. Stone, President P. W. Bemis of thé Clautaugua County Vet- erans’ Union, and several other members of the order. Prestdent Bemis called the meeting to order, and after short addresses by Dr. A. H. Holmes of Columbus, Ohio, an Chaplain Hyde~of\the 112th New York Regiment, intreduced «Comrade Warner Miler of New York.—The ex-Senator spoke in the course of; hig, remarks on the sub- Ject of pensions, and’gained much applause from his hearers. |) Dr, Theodore L. Flood of Pennsylvania then introduced Goy. McKinley of Ohlo, who was greeted |with a storm of applause. At the conclusion of his talk Gov. Mc- Kinley helil a rgpep¥on on the platform of the amphitheater. ~ Grand-Army Day. Saturday proved a gloomy and disagree- able day. The rain fell in torrents, and as but a few of the avenues of Chautauqua glory in sidewalks, mud was abundant. This, however, did not seem to influence the boys in blue, for they filed through the gates with their wives and families in greater numbers than they have since the day that Gen. John A. Logan spoke from the Chautauqua platform. At 11 o'clock the band, chorus and Loter’s Glee Club entertained the visitors with a patriotic concert. Luncheon was hurriedly eaten, and long before the hour for the afternoon meeting the amphithea- ter was packed, the aisles were filled and hundreds were standing outside the last row of seats. When Gov. McKinley rose to speak the applause was deafening. He spoke for an hour on subjects of interest to his audience. He made a plea for a larger spirit of patriotism and congratulat- ed the educational spirit of Chautauqua, which is calculated, among other things, to produce a knowledge and love of coun- try. At the close of his speech he was be- sieged on all sides of the platform by vet- erans anxious to again press his hand. Those who could not climb over the plat- form rail were assisted by their comrades, and, notwithstanding the fact that on the evening previous the governor had shaken hands with from six to seven thousand persons, he remained for several minutes with the crowd which had congregated around him. “The exercises closed with an illustrated talk on the battlefields of the late war. . Fr ———— THE ROCK WAS THERE. Charles Burnett and Others Awarded Damages. Judge Cole yesterday disposed of the case of Charles Burnett and others, the owners of the, schooner Ellen. Tobin, against Charles G.Smith, senior and junior, owners of a Georgetown wharf. In August, 1893, the vessel, whilo loading stone at the wharf, sunk, and, striking a rock on the bottom of the river, a great hole was stove in her. The lbellants, the owners of the vessel, sued the Messrs. Smith, claiming that the defendants had led them to believe that it would be perfectly safe to enter and load at the wharf. A great mass of testimony was taken in the case, the defendants claiming that the vessel was unseaworthy and that there was no rock at the bottom of the river. Judge Cole, however, found the defend- ants liable and referred the case to Ex- aminer Jas. G. Payne to ascertain the amount of damages due. The damages will amount to about $18,000, it is sald, and it is expected that the case will be appealed. —————— Wm. Kittell’s Remains. The remains of William W. Kittel, the War Department'tlefk who committed sui- cide at the Willey Hotel, Pittsburg, Mon- day morning last, are still in Pittsburg, and will be held there until the arrival of two brothers of the deceased from Denver and another from Cincinnatl. Mr. Charles H. Graf, the chum and room- mate of Kittell, who went to Pittsburg soon after learning of-the-suicide, to claim the body, ig still ey ANd does not expect to return until theVJatter part of the week, after the relatives of the dead man have taken charge of amd determined on the disposition of the body. The brother who resides in Cincinnati was unacquainted with the fact of the sui- cide until yesterday, when he telegraphed to this city to learn if the report was cor- rect. Upon receiving answer that it was he immediately startéd for Pittsburg. —_—_.—__ Fell From His Porch. Last night Allison James, living at 1232 Linden place, while showing his new porch to some friends, fell from it, a distance of twenty feet, crushing his nose and break- ing his collar bone and probably received internal injuries. The railing of the porch was new, and Mr. James was leaning on it as he admired it. It gave way with a snap, to the horror of his friends standing at his side. He was picked up unconscious and a doctor summoned as goon as possible to attend him. —>— Knocked Down by a Car. Elbert Kidwell of 1240 5th street north- west was knocked down by a 7th street cable car at O street yesterday afternoon. His head was badly cut and he was taken to the Emergency Hospital A BICYCLE TRIP Wheelmen’s Itinerary From New York to = This Gity. About the Ronds and the Points of Interest Along the Route— Distance, 255 Miles. From the New York Times. In describing a route involving so long a distance as that between the metropolis and the capital city, it is not so important to go into minute details of forks and turns in the roads as it Is to give an accurate idea of the towns to be passed and the -lis- tances between them. Travel through a country district and ask a native for the way to a town at all distant, and he can~ not tell you; but if you know what the next village is that you are to pass through and ask him for this, he can invariably tell you instanter. The distance from New York to Wash- ington, of course, varies according to the route taken, but is about 258 miles by the shortest way that permits of good riding. From New York to New Brunswick, N. J., ‘take any of the routes that have been de- scribed in the New York Times articles. ‘The shortest is by way of Staten Island, taking ferry at the Battery, landing at St, George and riding along left shore to Clif- ton, there turning right to road leading past the Black Horse Tavern at New-Dorp (where keep left), and on to Amboy road leading to Tottenville. Here cross ferry to Perth Amboy. From this point to New Brunswick we pass through Woodville, Bonhamtown and Piscataway. The road is somewhat hilly and sandy as well, so that it can hardly be considered more than a fair surface. : By this route the distance from New York to New Brunswick is twenty-six miles, but time allowance must be made for crossing Staten Island ferry, taking half an hour, and waiting for a boat at Tot- tenville as well, The second way of reach- ing New Brunswick is by crossing the ferry at Cortlandt or Desbrosses street and riding across the plank road from Jersey City to Newark. The riding is rather un- comfortable, and it is as weil to train to Emmet station, Newark, by the Pennsyl- vania road. If the tourist wishes to ride all the way he uses the plank road, enter- ing Newark ‘at Market street, turns left into Broad, to Emmet and then right and left into Freylinghuysen avenue, leading to Elizabeth. To Philadelphia. From Elizabeth the route is over fine macadam roads to Cranford, Westfield, Plainfield, Metuchen and New Brunswick; distance from New York,thirty-eight miles. ‘Yhe third route is the prettiest, as well as the longest, of them all. Ferry across 42d street to Weehawken, cross the meadows to Carlstadt, and ride through Rutherford, Belleville, Bloomficld, Orange, South Orange, Milburn, Springfield, Scotch Plains, Plainfield and Metuchen, to New Bruns- wick; distance from New York, forty-eight miles. All these rovtes join at New Bruns- wick,having ridden twenty-six, thirty-eight or forty-eight miles, as the case may be. Philadelphia is sixty-two miles away, measuring to its city hall. ‘The road is straight to Franklin Park, six miles, condition good. Riding along from Franklin Park after descending the succession of hills look out for sharp turn to left to Kingston, where turn right over bridges directly to Princeton, eighteen miles from New Brunswick. This road from Franklin to Princeton is the only really difficult road to ride between New York and Philadelphia. Leaving Princeton, take right fork of road to Lawrenceville, turning right at the old ‘Trenton pike,which leads directly into Warren street, Trenton, twenty-nine miles from New Brunswick. Continue on Warren street to railroad tracks at other end of town. Do not cross them, but turn right over the toll bridge to Morrisville, where turn left, then right, into Bristol ‘pike, using left side path through .Tallytown to Bristol, forty miles; ercss railroad to Closson House, where turn left, and at cemetery just out of town take left fork to Torresdale. where the old Red Lion Inn is conspicuous. Here cross bridge into the lim!ts of Phila- delphia. ‘ Ride through Frankfort. Pass through, turn right into lane just past the bridge, and, using Rising Sun lane, emerge at Broad siréet and ride over «asphalt to the city hall at Broad and Market. The reute thus far has been given more in de- tall in various Times articles, but as here given In brief, can readily be followed. Of Historic Interest. -From city hall the accepted route ts via Broad and 22d street, to Hamilton street, to 25th street, to Fountain, to 52d street; and from this point direct over the Lan- caster pike to Ardmore, nine miles from Philadelphia, from which city all distances given in the palance of this article are measured. The Lancaster pike, a fine piece of road, continues on through Bryn Mawr, ten and one-half miles; Wayne, fourteen miles; Devon, seventeen miles; Paoli, twenty miles. 5 Immediately after passing the station at Pacli, a fork in the road is encountered. Take the lef} to West Chester, twenty-nine miles, where turn right until the road brings up at the foot of a succession of hills. Here turn left along the edge of the roads to Sager’s Millis, thirty-five miles, from here riding along the old Brandy- wine road to Chad's Ford, thirty-eight miles. These names are all familiar to a reader of American history, and a ramble over the historic ground umder the guidance of a competent guide is very interesting. Leaving Chad’s Ford, ride under railroad and turn right to the double bridge, which cross, and then turn left to the town of Double Bridge, forty miles. Riding on, a long hill is to be climbed just outside of the town, and four miles further on, turn right up hill, cross the railroad tracks and ride straight on, crossing the state line into Delaware, and arriving at Wilmington, which is located on an inlet of the Dela- ware river. Wilmington Is Delaware's larg- est city, and is fifty miles from Philadel- phia by road. : ‘Frum Wilnington leave via Market street, crossing bridge down the causeway and one and one-half miles outside of the city turn right, on the State road, directiy through New Castle county to Red Lion. Into Maryland. Riding on, cross the Chesapeake and Dela- ware canal, over Summit bridge, to Middle- town, which is a station on the Philadeél- phia, Wilmington and’ Baltimore railroad. Here we change the direction of the ride, which has for some time been to.the south, and at Middletown turn right, to the west, and cross into Maryland, reaching War- wick (eighty miles.) We ride past War- wick, one and one-half miles, and then turn right to Cecilton (eighty-five and one- half miles), whete we turn left to Fred- erickton (eighty-elght and one-half miles.) From here the route is across the Sassafras river, an offshoot of the Chesapeake river, dividing Cecil and Kent counties. Having crossed, the road leads to Georgetown and then to Galena (ninety and one-half miles.) Here turn right to Lancaster Grove (nine- ty-five miles), ride two miles beyond, turn right and ride straight on until within one- quarter of a mile of Lynches and the Bal- timore and Delaware Bay raflroad. Then ride to Hainsville (112 miles), and thence on to. Willis Cross Roads, Fairlelgh (117 miles, also spelled Falrlee.) Here turn right to Tolchester (123 miles.) 2 Tolchester andeTolchester Beach are washed by the waters of Chesapeake bay. ‘The next portion of the journey is pieas- antly passed by taking steamer across the bay from Tolchester to Baltimore. From Baltimore ride out on Baltimore street to Frederick turnpike, taking the left fork al- rectly to Catonville (129 miles.) The three- mile run to Ellicott City is down grade, and the road is in good condition, Cross the Patapsco river, ride one-half mile, and teke left fork of road to Columbia (136 iniles.) From Columbia the direction is to- ward the southwest, turring right, and tak- ing first fork, left, to Clarksville (42 miles), and Highlands (144% miles.) Into the Capital City. The road is all from fair to good except near Highlands,where a sandy stretch gives a little trouble, but the use of sidepaths aids greatly. Beyond Highlands take first fork to the left and cross Patuxent river into Montzomery county. Having crossed the river, take left fork of rvad to the first cross road, where turn to left to Sandy Spring (150 1-2 miler), pass through, bear to the left and reach Reigle (155 1-2 miles). From Reigie take fork into Spencerville road, one and one-half -miles to Colesville, then fork into Burtonsville road at White Oaks, turn right to Burnt Mills (160 1-2 miles), passing which village, ride to fork in Norbeck road at Sligo (163 miles), down grade to Brightwood (167 miles). The ride from Brightwood to Washington {s but five miles, entering the city on 7th street, then turning to 9th street, where the many miles of asphalt are entered upon. The ride from New York to Washington, which is, as stated, from 258 to 279 miles, e2ccording to the route chosen for the begin- ning of the trip, should hardiy be taken on any set schedule. The many places of in- terest should not be hurried past so_as to make a given point the same day. Keep a memorandum of the towns mentioned hera und the intervening distances, and hurry or drag, as the mood happens. But, by all means, as advised, do not insult the intelli- gence of the farmer or villager by asking for a town over five or eight miles away, tor he has very rarely gone further from home. But the advent of the bicycle in these rural districts is’ serving to tak» these same people to places which otherwise they would never have seen or heard of, and in this way adds to their general knowledge to an extent. — AMONG THE TREES. Continuing the Camp Meeting at Washington Grove. Correspondence of The Evening Star. WASHINGTON GROVE, August 27, 1895. A glorious shower came down upon the Grove last night and rid the air of the dust that was £0 Irritating to the throat and eye. The 9:45 prayer and testimony meet- ing was led by*Rev. Hedding Leech, and the keynote of the day’s bigh pitch of spir- itual exaltation was struck at this ser- vice. The heart to heart talk of the mothers gathered in the Y. P. temple was very profitable and helpful. Mrs. Robert Cohen presided. Miss Ella Poole had charge of the music and presided at the organ. Many visitors from the county came to the post-prandial services and remained in camp until after moonrice and after the heavy downpour that made thelr drive homeward very delightful. Hitherto the dust kas kept the county contingent away. but relief has come. Revs. J, D. Smith and C. Naylor of the Baptist denomination were in attendance upon today’s services. : Drs. Duleney and Nevitt of the county were also among the ministerial arrivals. The ever-welcome Dr. Harry France came by an evening train, and was soon holding a general and hearty reception. Dr. Olin Eldridge of Waugh Chapel preached to a large audience at 8 o'clock. He chose for nis text I Timothy, first chap- ter, fifteenth verse. The eloquent prescher faithfully ex- pounded the word. Mr. Frank Wilson sang “Throw Out the Life Line” and Rev. Hedding Leech fur- nished the cornet accompaniment. The choir sang with exquisite taste “God Call- ing Yet,” with Prof. Foster in the obligato. The talented conductor, Prof. Henry W! son, is at his best. Mrs. D. M. Peck gave a dinner party to- ‘day, at which Prof. Percy Foster and fam- ily were the guests of honor. Mrs. and Miss Foster of Baltimore were present also. Mrs. Chess. -Williams and family, who have bee: spending August at the Grove, returned to their city residence last even- ing Mrs. John Clagett of West Waslington and Miss Lelia Sheaffer of Rockville are visiting Mrs. John Stone of 3d avenue. Mr. Frank Larner of New York returned from Capon Springs last evening, stopping en route at th? Grove to visit his parents. Mr. and Mrs. Wm. F. Turner of Wash- ington are summering here. The piano recitals of Prof. P. F. Foster, the solo sirging of Miss Ella Poole and the violin work of Glen I. Poole are very de- lightful to the Albany horsehold. Mr. Matt. Emory left for his Washington home yesterday. Mr. G. W. Whelan arrived today and is registered at the hotel. —_s——_ COULD HAVE STOPPED THE FIGHT. Gov. McIntyre Blames Seeretary Thompson of the Humane Society. Hugh R. Steele, mayor of Cripple Creek, Col., says the recent bull fights could have been prevented had Secretary Thompson of the Humane Society been on the ground attending to his duty. “In fact,” said he, “there was a strong sentiment against the show, and had a de- termined effort been made plenty of people could have been found who would have backed up an officer of the humane so- ciety.” Gov. McIntyre has written to the officers of the National Humane Society, advising the removal of its local agent, G. Thompson, secretary of the Colorado Hu- maue Society, on the ground of incompe- tency. The governor says that Thompson couid have prevented the bull fight at Gil- lette if he had remained at the ringside and ordered the arrest of the fighters’ every time they entered the arena. He went to Gillette the day before the fighting was to begin and hurried back to Denver to ask the governor to call out the militia, which, under the circumstances, he could not do. soo SUPPLIES FOR THE CUBANS. A Large Sloop Lands Powder and Firearms. The Atlas Line steamer Adirondack, from Port Limon, which arrived at New York yesterday brought news of ancther landing of war supplies in the vi- einity of Cape Maysi, Cuba. On the 224 instant, when the Adirondack was about thirty miles west of the cape, a large white painted sloop was seen bearing directly for the Cuban coast. There was great actlv- ity among the men on board, and what looked like kegs of powder and firearms were stacked up in the stern of the ves- sel. The name of the craft could not be ascertained, but it was evident that was carrying materials of war to the in- surgent forces on the island. The cfficers of the Adirondack watched the sloop until she lowered her sail and dropped anchor just off the shore. No Spanish men-of-war were in the vicinity. ‘The place where the sloop anchored is a lonely and uninhabited spot. It is be- lieved that several vessels have landed supplies for the insurgents there within the last three or four weeks. See Mr. Gleason on Quay. “Matt Quay is a general of generals in Politics,” said Andrew Gleason to a Star reporter today, exhibiting a Quay badge he had received from Harrisburg. “No man ever had such a strong combination against him and no man ever achieved such a victory. He had against him the governor of the state, the mayor of Phila- delphia, one of the state's big bankers and others, and still he beat them. “His victory,” continued Mr. Gleason, “means that he will lead Pennsylvania in the convention, and will be found voting for Tom Reed. And I think Quay will be made chairman of the national commit- tee.” ————— Did Not Go to Court. Cora Jones jumped from the third-story window of the Cabaner House, 220 3d Street northwest, when the place was raid- ed three weeks ago. She has been at the Emergency Hospital since. When a pair of policemen were sent yesterday to take her to court she went into hysterics and remained where she was. ——.__ Preferred Death to a Cell. Vassar E. Powell of 621 Kresler court, Scranton, Pa., was found suffering from laudanum poisoning on Wooster street, New York, about 1:30 o'clock yesterday mofning.
