Why He and Other Leaders at First Decided Not to Go and the Cause of a Change. The democratic committee meeting in Baltimore yesterday did not throw the de- sired light on the interesting question as to whether or not Mr. Gorman will attend the Chicago cenvention. The Senator still has the matter under advisement. He has only to signify a willingness to accept the place, and his name will promptly head the Mary. land lst of delegates-et-large, Both fac- tons in the state nope for a favorable an- swer from him. There is ro division on the money question. Sound money is the shib- boleth, and Mr. Gorman's experience would make him a valuable worker in the cause at the national convention. Why They Decided Not to Go. An Interesting story is told of why, sev- eral months ago, the mcre famous of the democratic leaders, with the single excep- tion of Mr. Hill, decided not to go to Chi- cago. Mr. Whitney, Mr. Brice, Mr. Gor- man and others, one after another, de- this year, contrery to their they would remain at home. No given. Everything was left tg And conjecture made out of it appointment of one kind or another, and a disinclination to participate in proceedings which in a certain contin- gency might take on the aspect of a Cleve- land ratification meeting.

But the personal features of the situation hove been subordinated to the dangers that have arisen as to the platform. It was dis- covered that the sliver leaders were going to the convention in numbers, and for the purpose of course of trying to secure a free ccinage platform. This had to be taken into a t.

There has just been placed in the Bon Marche, built to the special order of the proprietor, one of the most magnificent soda water fountains ever put up in Wash- ington. The body of the fountain is com- pesed of solid onyx, in size about twelve feet by six, and is surmounted by a beau- tiful beveled French plate glass, above which 1s an appropriate trimming of quar- tered oak, the latter being supported by two onyx ‘columns. Provision is made for lighting it at night with electric lights, the brackets of which are made of sterling silver. The syrups which are drawn from the fountain are kept in porcelain jars, thus insuring absolute purity. In connec tion with the soda water department, there has been opened a candy bureau, where the freshest and purest goods are supplicd. Castoria For Infants and Children.

As the law passed it does not compel a toll to be collected, compani+s cry counties to do so if they desire. The directors of the turnpikes will hold their annual meeting on Wednesday next, when the scale of charges for tolls will ‘be de- termined upon. It is understood that on the 7th strect pike a charge of one cent per mile will be collected, and on the Brookeville pike a charge of one-half cent per mile. In a conversation with Mr. Nathan Shaw the toll gate keeper at Sligo, yesterday, he said he wheelers need not be afraid of me collecting a toll until I am expressly directed to do so by the directors of the pike. On Sundays all the way from six hundred to one thousand cyclers from Washington pass the Sligo gate, and even of week days the number runs up to sey- eral hundred each day. It is understood that there is some kind of a hitch in the law, and it may be that the toll will not be collected until the test case recently raised in Baltimere county, and which is now before the courts, has been decided.”” A prominent wheelman and who is alsc: equally prominent as a lawyer, in speaking on the subject to a Star reporter, said: It is a small matter, but wheelers have to meet and fight just ‘these+kind of annoy- ances all the time. ‘There will be an earn- est contest made in the case, for we are thoroughly convinced that the law fs un- constitutional, and that the supreme court, of the state of Maryland will so hold in the i ‘altimore county case. The law authoriz- ing) these pike companies limited tolls to lorses and cattle. Of course, bicycles were not dreamed of when the law was passed. Thirty-five years ago a elreus owner drove an elephant throvgh the toll gate at Sitgo. The gatekeeper at first held’ that he was entitled to a toll, but he could not produce any law or authority for it) and the ele- phant passed free. We propose to make bi- eyeles, as another elephant, and to compel -orporatii Paes Pe ..COFPOFations te “allow them to One of the direct The Star reporter: re of the pike sald to ‘or a nnmber of years none of the pikes have paid any dividends, or, indeed, their own expenses, and some. thing has to be done to keep them up. All the light driving of a few years ago has gone. At one time Sunday driving in light traps aclually paid the running expenses of the day, but all that Ig gone now. There is no light @riving any more, and the young fellows either take ‘their girls out on a ‘bicycle built for two’ or separate wheels, or leave them at home. There is practically nothing running on thé'pikes now except heavy wagons, business trapS and bicycles, and unless something cari be charged wheel- ers the pike companies’ will be compelled to desert the toads and let them get into the shape they were before turnpike companies were organized to improve them.” eee Cornelius S. Bushnell Dead. Cornelius S. Bushnell of New Haven,Conn., died at the San Remo Hotel, New York, last night, aged sixty-seven years. His death was caused by heart failure, superin- duced by an attack of the grip. The de- ceased had a world-wide reputation, through his connection with John Ericcson, the noted inventor, and furnished the latter with funds to build the famous monitor, He fur- nished a large portion of the funds for building the Union Pacific railroad, and was one of the road’s first directors. He also furnished the necessary money to build the warship Destrover, which was afterward sold to the Brazilian government. Mr, Bush- nell made and lost several fortunes.

To the Editor of The Evening Star: Referring to the article in yesterday's Star captioned “Anacostia Road,” I would state that the patrons of the road are not complaining of the route, but of the miser- able service furnished by the Anacostia Railway Company. In addition to the bob- tail-one-horse-no-conductor obsolete apol- cgy for cars, the summer cars now in use have, in order to save expense of conductor, been’ rendered uncomfortable for two pas: sergers and too large for one by cutting an aisle through the center to enable the pat- rons to drop a nickel in the slot. If those citizens who, through The Star, placed on record their appreciation of the patronage of the citizens of Anacostia, would recipro- cate to the extent of giving their influence toward providing a time-saving and mod- ern equipped road for the citizens of that suburb, the benefits would be more equal. As it is, it 1s all on one side, with no recip- rocal benefits to the citizens of Anacostia. HENRY JOHNSON, —— Sexennial League.
