A meeting in protest to the proy ing of tracks on Kenesaw avenue was h in the parish hall of Colum Heights. last evening, a number of ladies being present. A Dill in the interest of the Belt nate = in the hands of the House com- line corporation having passed the § now res mittee. The bill authorizing the route of the road is Senate bill No, 2028. It has passed tae Senate, and is*now pending in the House. It authorizes the Eckington company to extend its line to the Zoo, over the follow- ing reute: From Florida avenue and 11th street, running east along Florida and Grant avenues to Sherman avenue, north on Sherman avenue to Wallach street, and west on Wallach street and Kenesaw ave- nue to the Zoo. The speakers claimed that the avenue is much too narrow for either a single or double-track road, aud resolutions denoune- ing the scheme were unanimously adopted. Judge Bundy presided, and in speaking of the proposed innovation said that the Con- stitution provides that private property shall not be taken without compensation; but that it would be impossible to compen- sate the property holders of Kenesaw ave- nue for the injury done them in such a ease. He pledged himself to fight the movement to the bitter end, both in Con- gress and in the courts, if necessary. Mr. 'T, Walter Fowler, said that when he purchased his home he had hardly thought that it would be made so uncomfortabie and so injured that he would be compelled to dispose of it, but that {f the proposed railway went through the street his prop- erty would be for sale. He dwelt upon the unfitness of the street for the purpose designated, and upon the danger to little children and the anxiety of thelr mothers. He stated that the railroad monopoly care nothing for Columbia Heights, but only for itself; the residents were the persons who really had the welfare of that portion of the city at heart. It was tmmaterial to the corporations whether they injured in- dividual property or not; they and their allies simply stepped In to reap the ad- vantage of the efforts of others. Mr. Wm. B. Matthews indorsed Mr. Fow- ler's remarks, and added ‘that this was the second or third time that the hydra-headed monster had shown itself In their midst. He paid a high tribute to the men who had settled Columbia Heights, and severely condemned the method used on the outside. He added that if he had not a dollar's in- terest in the matter he would still think it iniquitous. Mr. Frazier also spoke to the question, and moved that the original committee be enlarged, and the following were elected to represent the interests of Columbia Hights with the House: General Tyner, Judge Bundy, Judge J. C. McCalmont (orig- inal committee), Mr. Shaw, Mr. W. B. Matthews, Capt. C. B. Turner, Gen. D. G. Swaim and Mrs. Marian Longfellow O'Don- oghue. Mrs. O'Donoghue represents the in- terests of the ladies on Kenesaw avenue, and was unanimously elected, the gentle- men paying her a high tribute and thank- ing her for the work she had already done in the matter.

Police Positive That It Was Caused by Incendiaries, Information Mas been gathered by Chief of Police Marshall and others at Crip- ple Creek, Col, which, tcgether with well-known facts, make it almost posi- tive that the $1,000,000 fire of Saturda was the work of incendiaries, with the ob- ject of plunder. It is believed that the banks were the objective points, and that they were to have been looted in the ex- citement of a favorable opportunity offer- ed. Not much will be given out, but it known that the fires started almost simul- taneously in several places and below t windows of the banks and big business houses. The fire started about 1 o'clock Satur- day afternoon, and by 4 had demolished the blocks betyeen 3d and 5th street, on Ben- nett street, stopping just this side of the new Midland depot ‘and warehouse, be- tween and 5th streets, on Carr. With the exception of a few buildings on the 8d street side, nearly all the building between 3d and 5th on Eaton were di stroyed. Many people lost everything the had. The people not affected have offer shelter to the homeless, of which are several hundred. ‘The First National Bank was doing bus- iness in another part of town while their building was burning. The burned district is to be rebuilt once, with brick and stone buildings. By the time the post office had caught it became evident that the only way to stop the progress of the fire was to blow up the buildings with dynamite. This was done, under the supervision of the firemen, and a number of the buildings had to be sacrificed before the fire had reached them. While one of the firemen was placing a big charge under the Sisters’ Hospital the dynamite exploded, blowing his leg off. ame ed there at Surrendered as a Matter of Comity.

Reasons G m Why the Powers Act Should Not Paxs—The Morgan-Brice Bill Recommended. The minority report on the Pacific rafl- road bill was submitted to the House y terday by Representative Hubbard of Mi: sourl. It deals exhaustively with the finan- cial conditions of the companies concerned in the proposed funding plan. It argued that the majority bill should not be adopted for three reasons: First. The committee have not learned enough of ‘the affairs of the debtor com- panies to be able to tell the House what ft is best to do. Second. The companies made offers be- fore the committee, and are undoubtedly ready to concede terms, very much bette for the government than those embodied in the Th a. ‘The propositions in the bill are nelther good nor safe for the government Under the firs ted that most of the p: fore the committee w that © foreclosure pre 4 in the rail voice advo not with the view that the government should op te the roads, but to protect the xovernment as a preliminar: It was not ered ent has a lien on all the e » Thurman act, either in w of the acceptance of that by the | companies or as of law. ‘The ex- j tent of the lien of the government other- much doubt.
