VIBOUD, Ola Stand, 713 11th st. oci-im* AN AMBITIOUS RAILROAD SCHEME. Mr. J. Pierpont Morgan’s Proposed Transcontinental System. One of the greatest combinations of rail- way systems in the werld is now being ar- ranged for under the general direction of Mr. J. Pierpont Morgan and President Samuel Spencer of the Southern Railway Company. When it is completed and put in operation travelers can be carried with but one change of cars at Chicago, and freight transported without break of bulk, between Norfolk, Va., and the extreme northwestern part of the United States in the state of Washingtcn. The new line will be abcut 3,600 miles in length, and will be composed of the Norfolk and Western road, from Norfolk, Va. to Columbus, Ohio, 681 miles; Columbus,Heck- ing Valley and Toledo, Columbus to Marion. 79 miles; Chicago and Erie, Marion to Chi- cago, 269 miles; Wisconsin Central, Chicago to St. Paul, 462 miles, and Northern Pacific, 2,056 miles. It will have many branch lines as feeders. The movement has the active sympathy of many shippers in various lines of busi- ness, especially of grain men in the east, as well as the west. It_will be remembered that it was stated in The Star several months ago that Mr. Morgan was about to arrange for a great transcontinental system, which comprised the Northern Pacific, Wisconsin Central and Baltimore and Ohio lines, but the plan was abandoned, at least so far as the Bal- timore and Ohio was concerned, matters not being managed to Mr. Morgan’s and Mr. Spencer’s satisfaction. The purchase by Mr. Morgan of the Norfolk and Western followed, and it is now to be made, it is understood, part of the system which it was at first contemplated the B. and O. should occupy. — Dog and Pony Actors, Sipe, Dolman & Blake’s celebrated troupe of trick dogs and educated ponies will begin a week’s engagement at the corner of 14th and V streets northwest this evening. The entertainment is a clean, re- fined and moral exhibition of animal sa- gacity and caters particularly to the amusement of ladies and children. The street parade of the dogs and ponies this forenoon was a unique spectacle, and at- tracted a great deal“of attention. Dozens of beautiful dogs were tastefully arranged in_diminutive talley-hos, carts and other vehicles to compare with the size of the liftle ponies that drew them. Sipe, Dolman & Blake have an excellent band, that fur- nished music for the parade. A pleasant feature of the show is the opportunity given the little children to ride the ponies after each performance. —_.—_—_. Bliss School of Electricity. The opening of the Bliss School of Elec- tricity occurred Saturday evening last, when addresses were delivered by the mem- bers of the faculty, who spoke in an inter- esting manner of the several courses of study followed at the institution. [WALLS WHICH FELL Building Tnspector Reports on the _ Abert Building. APPROVES ‘OF ‘THE CONSTRUCTION Builders Who Take Opposite View _of the Building. MAKING-AN INSPECTION ae Se es . building Inspector Brady today made his report to the Commissioners upon the charges filed against him by John H.

Howlett, builder, of this city, in which he calls attention to the fall of the west wall of the Abert building, ‘on’ Pennsylvania avenue between 12th and 13th street, during the storm of the 2yth ult, and asserting as a cause theréof, gioss and criminal violation of the building regulations of the District of Columbia, in trat there was a failure to have the ‘side, end and party walls an- chored at each tier of beams, at intervals of ten feet, with good, strong wrought iron anchors one-half inch thick, one inch wide, well zecured io side walls and fastened to the side of beams, by not less than two Wrought iron nails one-quarter inch in diameter,’ &c., &c., as required by para- graph 6, section 4, of said regulations. “In reply thereto, I have the honor to report that I have carefully investigated and examined into the construction of the building named, and I do not find that the charge of Mr. Hewlett is at all sub- stantiaied by any of the facts in the prem- ises. “Paragraph 5, section 4. of the building regulations of the District, a copy of which 1 inclose for your information, requires that ‘side, end, or party walls shall be anchored at each tler of beams, at inter- vals of not less then ten feet, with good, strong wrcught iron anchors one-half inch by one inch, well secured into side walls and well fastened to the side of the beams, by not less than two wrought iron nails at least one-quarter inch in diameter, £0 as to form continuous ties across the bulid- ing on each floor, The building regulations do nvt provide, as stated by Mr. Howlett, that side, erd and party walls shall be anchored, &c., thereby making it appear that these regulations impose the obliga- tion that all the inclosing walls of a build- ing shall be anchored at intervals of ten feet. Such a regulation has never existed in the District. Walls, running parallel to the ficor beanis, upon which no heavy concentrated jfoads are imposed at each tier of beams, are anchored transversely to the joists in order to maintain their perpendicufarity, ‘but this condition did not exist in the gide walls of the Abert build- ing. Walls running paralel to floor beams which have heavy concentrated loads im- posed upon them are not anchored to the floor beams, but to the girders support- ing the floor beams, and such was the con- dition that existed in the Abert buildin, as will be noted beiow. The incorrect statement of Mr. “Howlett has been the occasion ef many inquiries addressed to me, to which it appears proper now to respond. “On Thursday, the Ist instant, I examin- ed the Abert building and found a wrought- iron anchor, adhering to an iron girder or beam, that had lost its bearing by the destruction of the wall, tangible evidence of a compliance with the obligations of the building regulations. Condition of the Buildin: “I inspected the west wall and found it well constructed, and, with Messrs. Schnei- der and Corbett and Assistant B. C. King, I erected a plumb line in each story im- mediately below the damaged portion, and found it maintaining a true perpendicular fai he girder which’ Is placed upon the west wall, and which longitudinally ties the building, I found perfectly true along its exposure. At the’ completion of the in- spection I ordered the owner and architect to reconstruct the wall as quickly as pos- sible, in order to eliminate the element of danger existing, due to the exposure of the east wall. “Since the destruction of the Abert wll the question of anchorage has been thor- oughly discussed, many persons having the idea that through-anchors (extending through the thickness of the wall and se- cured by stars or other shaped iron, pro- jecting outside the face of the walls) are what, is required by the building regula- tions. This is not so. It frequently occurs where through-anchors are inserted in ex- posed party walls, which are subsequently used by adjoining new buildings, that the plates and nuts offer obstruction to plaster- ing of such walls, that they are removed, thereby destroying anchorage. “To avoid this in the future the commis- sion to revise building regulations for the District of Columbia adopted a rule that where through-anchors are used in party walls they must be counter sunk, or form- ed so that they wiil not project more than one-half inch from face of ‘the wall, thus ailowing the plastering to cover them. Anchorage Plans. “So much adverse criticism has been ap- plied to the anchorage of the Abert building that I deem it advisable to give a descrip- tion of the interior construction. “The east and west walls are anchored together every 22 feet on each story with heavy 15-inch beams, weighing 50 pounds per foot, engaged to the walls with 3-4-inch iron rods placed at right angles with the beams, the breaking shearing strain of said rods being 22,000 pounds. “The width betweer walls is 33 1-2 feet, and the beams above mentioned are sup- | ported at the center by iron columns, to which the girders are bolted, thus forming continuous ties across the building. Upon the girders are placed 3 by 12-inch joists, spaced 12 inches from centers, running par- allel with the side walls, and the ends of these joists are tied or anchored into the front and rear walls at intervals less than 10 feet. At the time of the destruction of the wall in the fourth and fifth stories the construction weight imposed upon the wall at the bearing of each girder of fifth story was 12,895 pounds, and on the wall at the same point below in fourth story was 22,030 pounds. The 13-inch wall destroyed, which was free of recesses of any kind, between two spaces of girders, weighed 121 pounds per square foot; so, therefore, the weight of the construction that the wind either blown down or pulled asunder repre- sented 174,400 pounds in an area of 1,320 square feet of exposure. The force of the wind at the time of the destruction of this wall was, in my opinion, too intangible to compute. “Since my induction in office I have ex- acted a written report weekly from each of my assistants, so as to be informed of the general character of construction through- out the District, its progress and its com- pletion, and the record of the Abert build- ing, in charge of Assistant King, is hereto appended. “The elements are beyond the control of man, and nothing that is wrought by him can withstand their fury. The storm of ‘Tuesday in its violence and destructiveness was beyond the like of any experience of this community. I find nothing in the ca- lamity which befell the Abert building call- ing for any condemnation in its construc- tion. 2 we respectfully, eee INO, Eh BRADY, “Inspector of Buildings.” Inspection Reports.

Beatty, 1213 Pennsylvania avenue, this ated made an inspection of the Abert ulldirg, the west wall o: e demolished ‘the ptrecttons pian iok nip heey located Beatty’ restaurant and Kelley cafe, during the storm Tuesday night las:. The party first ascended to the roof of the rear building of 1217 Pennsylvania avenue, and from there obtained an excel- lent view of the situation. From remarks exchanged by the builders it seemed to be the gereral opinion that the fall of the West wali was not due to the force of wind pressure from the inside, but to suc- tion from the outside, augmented by vi- bration of the wall itself. Some of the builders claimed that the wall was not Properly “tied,” und that the bricks of a Portion of the wall at least were not set end mortared as they should have been. The party next adjourned to the south Side of Pennsylvania avenue and took a sighting view of the east wall of che Abert bvildirg, which is standing, and, to the casual chserver, appears io be all righ The builders, however, agreed that the wall “winds,” and that the center has Moved westward, so as to render that portion about six inches out of plumb with the nortt and south ends. és veral of the party proceeded - trance of the Abert bullding with the in. tention of inspecting the interior. They were met at the doorway, however, by Mr. Abert ard Mr. Glenn Brown, architect. Only those summoned by the roner, so Mr. Abert stated, would be permi:'ed to enter. All except Mr. Oliver decided that they did not care to proceed further. The name of the latter was jotted down by Mr. Abert and he passed inside. j Both Mr. Kelley and Mr. Finley, who were in the buildings when the Abert wall descended upon them, in conversation with @ Star reporter said that for some time past they had stood in fear of the wall, and when the crash cccurred they were awar> of the nature of the calamity at once. Called on the Commissioners. Mr. John H. Howlett, the builder who preferred charges against the building de- partment of the District for poor work in conneciion with the fall of the Abert build- ing, 1211 Pennsylvania avenue, on the night of the big storm, was at the Commission- ers’ office today. Among other things, he said: “The west wall of that building was built on an old, insecure wall. There is no appearance of the fallen wall ever having been anchored, except two small strap anchors to hold elevator or guide posts in place. No anchors were worked in the middle of the side walls to connect them with the front wall. There is no evidence of anchors in the girders, except two small holes punched in the girder. Look at the girder built in the middle thickness of the side wall, which is a source of weakness against lateral pressure. Then notice the mortar. It is simply lime and sand, and should have been all cement and sand. From a conversation I heard around the building, it is evident that there is a combi- nation among all interested or responsible to suppress the real state of the building at the time the wall fell. I am of the opinion that the coroner should summon mere expert witnesses from the professional men of the city, such as Bernard Green of the new library. Later in the day, Mr. Charles L. Beatty, the occupant of 121% Pennsylvania avenue, which was demolished by the fall of the Abert building, appeared before the Com missioners wiin photographs of the wrecked building. He pointed out the girders, and called attention to the absence of any signs of anchors there. The Commission- ers replied that they had instructed their attorney to be present at the inquest to- morrow, and no stone would be left un- turned to get at the true facts. Mr. Wm. Stone Abert, the owner of the building, whose west wall demolished build- ings numbered 1213 and 1215, had a hearing before the Commissioners this afternoon. He called, he said, in relation to the num- ber of applications he had received from private citizens who desired to inspect the premises. While he had no objection to such inspection, he did not care to take the rexponsibi He was willing to put the building in the hands of the police until after the inquest tomorrow, and allow any- bedy to go in. He desired to emphasize the fact that there was no desire on his part to the after and his assist- the cover up anything. Nothing about building had been touched until Building Inspector Brady ant, Mr. B. C. King, had gone over building, and ordered him to proc once with the reconstruction, upon exa the same plans. He thought it would b geod idea to inform the coroner that if his card be presented at the building by any- one he desired to summon as a witness, every facility would be afforded to give him ali information. This was appr: by the Commissioners, and the s directed to notify the coroner of Abert’'s invitation. es NIGHT PUBLIC SCHOOLS, Mr. Opening Arrangements Completed for Tonight.

I am glad to see that parents are begin- ning to realize the terrible consequences that may result to their children from ex- posure to such vile sentiments. I have been so amazed and shocked by the gross obscenity of scme of these mot- toes that I have gone into the schools in this division and not only taken every button I found, but have forbidden pupiis to wear them. I am glad the alarm kgs been sounded, and hope all will join in the effort to rid the community of an impending moral pestilence. H. P. MONTGOMERY, Supervising Principal.
