THE DEPRESSION OF THE TRACKS How the Commissioners Modified the Company's Plans. THE LONG BRIDGE - -—— The bill introduced in the Senate last week by Senator McMillan to abolish grade crossings on the Pennsylvania railroad tracks in this city, was a modification of a proposition submitted by the railroad com- pany in 1892. Senator McMillan’s bill was 1 on the recommendations of the Com- 's made at that time as a partial for the railroad company’s plans. The main differences between the railroad plans and these approved finally by the District Commissioners were that the Com- missioners proposed to carry the plan of | depressing the tracks into Southeast Wash- | irgton, and proposed the construction of a rew bridge in the place of the Long bridge. | ‘the original plan of the railroad people provided for a depression of the tracks from the New Jersey avenue yard west- ward along Virginia and Maryland avenues | to the Long bridge. The District engineers, | however, on revising the plan proposed that the same genera! principle of depress- | ing the tracks be applied east of South Capitol street and New Jersey avenue, so as to do away with grade crossings in Seutheast Washington, as well as in South- | west Washington. } ets, according to the railroad | company’s plans, were to be carried across | the tracks on steel bridges, and on account of the partial depression of the tracks, the srade of each street would have been changed. This would have been accom- | plished by means of elevated approaches | to the bridges, entailing consequent dam- | age to property. Inasmuch as the District | would have been called upon to bear the expense incurred by the damages effort was made to find a plan obviating the change of grade of the streets. Conditions Limiting Work. In seeking this end the District engineers found themselves Emited by the following conditions: It would not be advisable to ccerease the elevation at either of the termiral points of the section to be im- proved, viz, the bridge over the outlet at the foot of i4th street southwest or the tunnel entrance on K street. It would be uppossible to lower the tracks at Souch Cepitol street, where the arch of the Tiber s only two and one-half feet below nt level of the rails. As all the are tidal sewers, subject to the alterations of the water level in the river, it would not be advisable to place the grade of the tracks so low that they would be subject to overflow under the ordinary | variations of water level due to wind, tide | AFFAIRS IN ALEXANDRIA the “Projected Business Men’s Leagne Transacts Some Important Business.

The maximum rise of the river due to these causes is four feet on “the city gauge, as determined by a series of observations since 1874. This level Was only passed by the freshets of 1877, 1881 and 1889, all of short duration. With the proposed clearance of 1714 feet, and al- Icwing three feet for depth of roadway, the difference of elevation between the surface cf the bridges and rails must be approximately 21%4 feet. Changes Made by the Commissioners. Taking into consideration these conditions the engineer officers of the District recom- mended changes in the railroad company’s plans as follows: That between 7th street southwest and 12th street southwest the tracks be depressed sufficiently to allow ith, Oth, 10th, 11th and 12th street soutn- West to cross the tracks on bridges with- out change of grade in the streets. Mary- land avenue, 4! street, Delaware avenue, Washington. The South Cap‘tol street bridge would not be provided with foot- walks, but it is proposed to erect separate foot bridges, ten feet wide, on the west side of that street, also over the switches at 3d street southeast. Where the tracks are depressed, retaining walls of stone shall be built, and’ shall pro- Ject three feet above the level of the ground. All tracks are to be removed from. 6th street, and the ratlroad company granted a portion of the adjoining Mall on the west, the old armory to be removed. - The Cont. It is provided in the present bill that the cost of the entire work, so far as the depres- sion of its road, construction of abutments for bridges and of the bridges between abut- ments, and any work upon the sixty-six feet covered by its right of way are concerned, shall be borne entirely by the said Balti- more and Potomac Railroad Company; but eration whereof the said company shall be and it ts hereby freed and relieved from the chligation to waintain the said railway bridge in good fondition for ordinary high- way travel, it heiug hereby understood and agreed that erie highway bridge shall be provided at the expense of the United States, or the District of Columba, be- tween the foot of 14th street dnd the Vir- .ginia shore at such a point as may be de- termined upon as most suitable therefor by the Comm:‘ssioners. The Commissioners’ Views. The Commisstoners, however, objected to that plan, and wrote to the Senate District committee as follows: “With respect to the Long bridge, the Commissioners are of the opinion that the railroad company should be required to re- build the bridge in accordance with such pians as shall be approved by the chief cf engineers, U. S. A., to accommodate both (SHOWING STREETS TO South Capitol street, New Jersey avenue, 3d, 4th and 5th streets southeast should be carried over the tracks on elevated bridges, necessitating a consequent change of grade in those streets. On the streets in the southwest section, crossing the depressed tracks on a grade level with the streets, tne bridges should be of the same width as the streets, with sidewalks elght feet wide, and paved w:th one of the siandard pavements used by the District. The elevated bridges on 3d, 4th and 5th streets southeast. should be of ihe same width. The Maryland avenue, Dela- ware avenue, South Capitol street and New Jersey avenue bridges should have a road- way of fifty feet, and 2d street southwest forty-five feet. The bridges proposed by the District en: sineers across 34, 4th and east would probably conform to the same general plan of those proposed in Southwest The Star that it was proposed to move the Davy yard, now situated at Washington, to @ more suitable place, owing to the depth of water, and suggested that a committee be appointed to wait upon the Secretary of the Navy and see if Alexandria could not secure it. Alexandria, he said, was surpassed by no other city in the Union for a navy yard. We have sufficient depth of water, and everything that would be necessary. Be- County Court Proceedings and Grand Jury Report —Plensant Social Deings and Other Notes. The regular meeting of the Business Men's League was held in its rooms at the corner of Washington and King streets, with about fifty members present. Presi- dent M. B. Harlow occupied the chair, and R. F. Carne acted as secretary. Mr. Justus Schneider, chairman of the committee on rooms, reported. Mr. Harlow, chairman of the committee appointed to wait upon Mr. Barnard, superintendent of the Pennsyl- vania railroad, in regard to having a new depot built in this city, reported that the committee had met Mr. Barnard in his pri- vate ccr at the depot in this city, and had a most satisfactory interview with him up- on the subject. Mr. Barnard, he said, had promised to report the matter favorably to the offi ard to the matter. Mr. Chas. King, a member of that commit- tee, said that the impression left upon his mind after the intervicw was that Mr. Barn- ard would certainly do all he could to have a@ new depot built in city. Mr. Harlow then said that the papers in their report of the interview were mistaken said that Mr. Barnard had not : mM courteously, as his, recep- tion had been mest cordial every respect. President Harlow said that he had read in sides, Alexandria is within seven miles of the capital of the United States. The matter was then thoroughly dis- cussed by the members present, all of whem agreed with Mr. Harlow, and upon motion of Mr. Henry Strauss the following committee was appointed: Messrs. K. Kemper, Charles King, Mr. Anderson, W. B. Smoot. Lewis C. Barley, Henry Straus: Herbert Bryant, Geo. A. Mushback, J. T. Burke, Park Agnew, E. C. Dunn and M. B. Harlow. The above-named committee were also instructed to see the Virginia Sena- ters and Representatives and to urge the appropriation of funds to build the me- morial bridge. Resolutions of thanks to the officers and members of the Relief hook and ladder company for the use of their rooms were adopted. Mr. M. B. Harlow, chairman committee on benquet, reported that they had waited upon the several caterers of tl city and secured three bids for the ban- quet, and that everything wes in readiness for the league to gecide ujsfon what night the banquet should be held, and upon motion of Mr. W. F. Carne it was decided to hold it on the evening of the 22d of February, and that the Secretary of the Navy and all the Virginia Senators and Representatives be invited to attend. The following gentlemen were unani- mously elected to membership: Messr: Fisher Bros., J. J. Jamerson, John M. | Johnson, F. L. Smith, B. Baer, H. Wildt, W. P. Wools & Son, Dr. H. 2. Howard, C. W.

The Long Bridge. Another important modification of the railroad company’s plans is in regard to the Long bridge. The original plan for this imprevement, as proposed by the railroad officials, was as follows: “That the said railroad company be and is hereby further required to construct aj vcuble track on the Long brid:s2 over the | | Potomac river and the island the said river, and to build cn the Virzinia side of the said river two additional spans, each one hundred and forty feet long. in consid- arrested by Officer Smith, charged with caegae John Green with a knife, fined Notes.

The flag poks which are to be placed on the Peabody and Lee school buildings by the Junior Order of American Mechanics on the 22d of February are nearly com- pleted. The police propose to establish a first-class gymnasiura at the station house. Mr. Charles Crook, who has been in the employ of the Southern railway at Atlanta, has returned to his home in this elty, hay- irg lost his position in the reduction of force. A number of young people of this city will tonight give a dance at the Braddock House. The Home Telephone Cempany yesterday commerced the erection of a line of poles in this city.

The Three Men Who Were Held Here on Suspicion, The three men who were arrested here several days ago by Precinct Detective Sut- ton because he received a letter telling him that they were wanted in Dakota for post effice_robbery, have turned up in Camden, N. J., where they are trying to work the game they so successfully worked on the authorities here. Their game is to write a letter to ihe police authorities giving infor- mation of the presence in the city of three men wanted on a serious charge somewhere in the west, and usually they send a news- paper clippirg with the communication in order to make more certain that their game will work. Then they get arrested and one of the trio is smart enough to convince any policeman that he is a smart crook whether he really is a crook or not, and together they experience no trouble in impressing upon the police that the city would he better off without them, and in this way they manage to get fed for several days and sent some distance m the direction of their western home. In this city they gave their names as Langdon, O'Neill and Allen. One of them wrote a letter which fell in the hands of the precinct detective and he soon had the three men beFind the bars. Of course, they denied the charge, but admitted that they were from the west and had been in Dakota. The police were thoroughly satisfied fhat the men were smart crooks, and when they failed to connect with the Dakcta authori- ties there was nothing left to do but release them. Then the strangers offered to do some detective work, and the police then expected they would get down to some of the burglars who had been visiting here. ‘he men, who are now denounced as “‘ho- boes,” spent several nights at the mission at the expense of the police department and were again arrested. This time they set up the plea that the Police had not kept faith with them, and when they got in court and explained the circumstances they were discharged. Being without funds, they could only leave the city by walking, and this method the police thought too slow. The result was that they were furnished transportation as far as Baltimore, but they evidently found the authorities there too hard to work’ and so they went oa until they reached Camden. ‘They are now in custody there under the names of Foster, Kirby and Kelly, and, it is thought, they will be sent along some dis- tance by the authorities, as they were from here. Their arrest was the resuk of a letter re- ceived by Chief Dodd, which bore the signa- ture of James Brown.. The member of the trio who gave his name as James Foster was first arrested, and the next morning the newspapers ‘heralded the arrest of a man keld on suspicion of robbing the Farmers’ Bank at Springfield, Mo. Foster had on him the memorandum book he had here. This book contained entries about the police and treatment received In several cities, among them being: Portland, Me., sisters O. K.; Providence, R. I., good for money; Canton, Mass., O. K., but look out for “cops,” they are hostile; Columbus, Ohio, N. G.; Kansas City, O. K., good for money; Cherokee, Neb., no good.

The inquest Held yesterday afternoon over the body of' Abe Fitzhugh, the colored crap shooter and po} fighter who was killed in John T. Clark’s saloon by the proprietor of the drinking place Saturday night, as published in yesterday’s Star, attracted a large crowd from the neighborhood of where the shooting occurred, and in the crowd were a number of Clark's friends. The jury, composed of Richard Collins, Levi Jackson, James Crump, Eugene Fu- gitt, F. A. Newman and Victor C. Wood- bridge, viewed the body and then heard the evidence. Saloonkeeper Clark was present at the inquest, and with him were Messrs. Andrew A. Lipscomb and C. H. Turner, to look after his interests. David Johnson, one of the young colored men who were locked up yesterday, was the first witness examined. He testified that he and a friend were at “Johnnie” Clark's bar room Saturday night, and were stand- ing at the door, when they met Fitzhugh, who had 2 bottle of whisky under his yest. They asked him to treat, but he refused, because, he said, he wanted it for Sunday. The three of them conversed for a few min- utes, during which time he (Fitzhugh) filled his pipe, and went in the saloon to geta light. Witness stood there until Fitzhugh got inside, and then he said he heard Clark Say, “You black —- —,, get out of here.” Just then Fitzhugh grabbed at either Clark or the gun, and the shot was fired. The deceased fell on the floor, and Mr. Clark walked out, with the gun in his hand. . “What did Fitzhugh have in his hand?” “‘I don't know.” “Did he have anything?” “T don’t know.” A razor was here produced, and witness was asked if he did not see it there that night. He replied that he did not. At the suggestion of counsel, the witness was asked if he had keen in the saloon earlier in the evening, and if he was.not afraid to return because he had been or- dered to keep away. Witness said he had not been ordered to keep out, but he’ had heard that Abe had trouble with Mr. Clark earlier in the evening. He knew that Abe had his pipe in one hand when he went in the place, The witness could not give an intelligent description of the position of the storm door, and Officer Schneider was called in to give an explanation. He told of the dia- mond-shaped glass in the storm door, and said he could see through it without ary trouble. “Did you arrest Mr. Clark?’ the officer was asked. “No, sir,” himself up.” “When did you reach there?” “Soon after the shooting.” “Did you find the razor?” “No, sir.’”” Policeman Henry explained that the razor had been sent to the station only a few minutes before the time set for the inquest, with a statement that a man named Mc- Cauley had ‘found it in the saloon behind the barrels, 011" William McCauley, who lives at 6th and M streets, was-next called, and he safd that he had been,, the place Saturday night,+ both before 4nd after the killing. This morning, whtif' he went to the saloon, and Was told that:a! knife had figured in the af- fair, he was. given permission to make a search, and found the weapon behind a@ barrel. The initial “A” had been scratched in'tHe handle, and Mr. Lipscomb he answered. “Mr. Clark gave ‘QR.CHASES - Blood»Nerve Food weicet You arnt racing Si For Weak and Run-Dewn People from Childhood te Old Age.

The change recom-. mended by them with reference to the Long bridge would result in removing a menace to the city from flooding, and also give in- creased facilities for the railroad and for the public using the bridge. They are of the opinion that the cost of the work and Camages should be pald by the railroad, as it will give to them facilities which they have been anxiously wanting for a long time, and permanently jeave them in an advantageous pesition. The cost to the railroad of the depressed tracks would be about one-half of that for an elevated track, and the maximum would be about $3,000,000, exclu- sive of the Long bridge.” ‘The present plans for the Long bridge a8 set forth in Mr. MecMillan’s biil are as follows: The Secretary of War be authoz- ized and directed to cause to be construct- ed across the Virginia channel of the Po- tomac river, near the site of the present Long bridge, a new and substantial bridge of ircn or steel, resting on masonry piers and provided with suitable approaches, and with a draw sufficient for the accommoda- tion of navigation of said river. The bridge shall be so located that its longitudinal een- ter line shall be normal to the general di- rection which the Virginia channel wiil have when the Potomac river improvement is completed. The length of the bridge shall not be less than 2,500 feet, and no span skall be less than 250 feet. The piers of the new bridge shall rest upon sufficient foun- dations, at or near the present or proposed bed of the river. The superstructure of the bridge shall have a clear head room of not less than twenty-five feet above mean low tide of the Potomac river, and the bridge shall provide for a double track railway, for a roadway for highway travel, not less than twenty feet wide, and a side- walk not less than eight feet wide, side by side, the railway and the roadway to be separated by a tight fence not less than sixteen feet high. Upon the completion of the new bridge herein authorized the pres- ent Long bridge, together with the piers, foundations and riprap about them, shall be entirely removed: Provided, that one- half of the cost of the new bridge and one- half of the cost of the removal of the pres- ent bridge shall be paid by the Baltimore and Potomac Railroad Company, and that the work shall be done by contract after public advertisement, the contract to be conditioned upon payments as herein pro- vided. And there is herevy appropriated, out of any money in the treasury not otherwise ap- propriated, a sum of money equal to one- half of the cost of the work provided fer in this section, as the same may be certified to by the Secretary of War: Provided, that cne-helf the sum hereby appropriated shall be paid from the revenues of the District of Columbia; and provided further, that the Baltimore and Potomac Railroad Com- pany shall maintain the said bridge in good condition for railway and ordinary travel, and shall maintain the draw in efficient working condition at all times, and shall operate the same so as not to impede the free navigation of the Potomac river at all hours of the day or night; and the bridge shall at all times be and remain a free bridge fer public use for ordinary travel, and the Baltimcre and Potomac Railroad Company shall give other railroad comp: ries the right to pass over said bridge and its appreaches upon such reasonable terms 28 may be agreed upon, or as the Secreta of War may prescribe. And if the Balt more and Potomac Raiircad Company shall at any time negiect to keep said bridge i good repair and free for public use for orc rary travel the Secretary of War may ent 1 itto possession of the whole of said bridge for and cn behalf of the United States. ee that that was the dead man’s initial. Several other witnesses were ¢xamined, and Clark told the jury version of tb affair, which was corroborated by his bai tender. He exhibited his cut clothing and the cut on his hand, and told how the de- ceased had inflicted them with a razor. Fitzhugh was assaulting him when he fired in_self-defense.
