CAPITAL RAILWAY LINE Rumor That It May Be Controlled by Metro- politan Company. The Track Now Completed Between Congress Heights and Navy Yard Entrance, The last rail of the Capital Railway Com- pany’s line between Congress Heights and the navy yard gate was laid last evening on the draw on the bridge across the Ana- costia river, and the arrangements for the speedy inauguration of rapid transit be- tween the city and Congress Heights are now practically completed. Barring the ce- currence of something now unforescen it is expected that but a few days will elapse before passengers will be carried, if they wish to make the journey, from Chevy Chase to Congress Heights and vice versa for the single fare of 5 cents or six tickets for a quarter. ‘The completion of the Congress Heights line, it is expected, will soon convert that route from what has heretofore been Te- garded as an almost exclusively warm weather road into one that will attract travel ali the year round, as it will offer to the people of Anacostia and its several surrounding villages a means of quick transportation front their homes to their places of business in the city. Closed Cars Ordered. In anticipation of increased demands upon the facilities of his line, President Randle ot the Capital Railway Company, as was foreshadowed in The Star would be the case, has contracted for a number of closed cars of the latest and most approved pat- tern for use on the route, and they will probably be received sogn. Mr. Thomas W. Power, a consuming ‘engineer of this city, who represented the Siemens and Halske Electric Company of America, in ng the electrical equipment at the y company’s power house in Ana- costia, kas just closed. another contract with the Capital Railway Company for a 200-kilowatt, direct connected multipolar dynamo, in’ order to meet the increasing patronage of the line. The road at present averages 2,500 pas- sengers and it is the belief of those who have given the matter close consider- ation that when transfers are made with the Washington and Georgetown’ line, as it is expected will soon be the pail will undoubtediy average double that num- ber. To carry these engers will Te- quire a number of additional cars, and this will require more powerful machinery than that now in service, but which has been arranged for. The success thus far of the Capital Rail- way Company's line has attracted to the enterprise d@ large share of public atten- tion, and the talk that the new line may pass under the control of the Metropolitan Railway Company either by lease or pur- chase has been renewed. Wants Southeast Outlet. It is again asserted, as has heretofore been pretty well understood, that the Metrepolitan company will not be satisfied until it has a line by which it can reach the southeastern portion of the city on a street parallel to Sth, which is occupied by the Georgetown line. The completion of the Czpital railway's line to Lincoln Park at llth street, uctically arranged for, the Metropolitan com will give latter the outlet sald ave been s9 long desired by it, besides which the Met- ropolitan would be placed in the position of being able to compete with the cable line, not only for the Georgetown traffic, ce which, it is said, has been and its control but also for almost all of the patronage no’ enjoyed. nearly exelusively by the Capital Traction ny. The charter of the Capital Railway Com- pany, and an of Congress passed to give it the ne ary effect, compels the free transfer of engers between that company and the Washington and George- town line at the navy yard gate, and this provision will be carried out. it is said, no matter who may have the future control of the new electric line. A Star reporter was informed last even- ing by a gentleman who is thoroughly con- versant with the history of the Capital Railway Company that previous to the granting by Congress of a charter to the present organization Mr. Samuel L. Phil- lips, then president of the Metropolitan company, called for Senator McMillan, chairman of the District committee, and urged the passage of a bill to allow the Metropoiitan to continue its line down 11th street to M street, and thence to the navy yard gate; that Senator McMillan declined to agree to the proposition, and that Mr. Phillips then heurtily supported the. other bill, and requested Mr. McMillan to favor- ly report the Capital Railway Company's , Which was done, and the road char- tered. Close ANiance Proposed. It is understood that President Phillips was of much benefit to Mr. Randle in shap- ing the Capital railway bill, and it is be- lieved that he anticipated the success of the Capital company, because soon after the bill was passed he theroughly inspect- d the park at the present terminus of the road, and later the matter of forming a very close alliance with the new company was brought up at a meeting of the beard of directors of the Metropolitan company. Subsequently a prominent official of the Metropolitan road visited Mr. R. T. Wilson, the muilti-millionaire, at his office in New York and conferred with him re- garding the future plans of the two com- pani and as a result the work of the Capital Railway Company's line was at begun. > agh Faxt Express Trains City via Delaware river bridge nsylvania jiroad $2 excursion and Su Advt. To Atlant BRIGHT BUSINE! f Observations Made by Hack Inspector Groff. Mr. Samuel A. Groff, who has been the District hack inspector for several years, has just returned from a trip through New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, and he gives a glowing description of the evidences of the return of prosperity. There is as much difference in these states now as compared with a year ago as there is between night and y, he told a Star reporter toi Speaking ‘S PROSPECTS, Result of the improved condition of affairs, he said he had read glowing ac- counts in the newspapers before he left here, but™not until he had seen for himself d he believe” that the change had been so great.

To the Editor of The Evering Star: I noticed in Sour paper last evening what kind thoughtfulness is being exhibited on the part of the authoritles of the new Conr- gressionai Library for the’ pleasure of the students who are.smokers of tobacco. This care herdly goes far enough, however. There are others who could read with more comfort if a giass of beer were supplied, to be sipped during the process of enjoying the less liquid gratification. Then some readers will need a little morphine tot steady their nerves and stimuiate their tm- agination. These soothing agents could bring no harm to the people's property, as smoking might, if the favored reader should so far lose himself in his books as to forget his pipe for a moment, and so set fire to the papers. Surely this is no mean argument in favor of the other soothing processes. Is it not too great partiality to cater to the pleasure of one class of pa- trons and condemn their immediate suc- cessors to the nauseating experience of trying to read a book soaked in dead to- bacco smoke?

F AMUSEMENTS. KERNAN’'S LYCEUM THEATER.—Man- ager Miaco of the City Club organization, now filling an engagement at Kernan’s, 18 nothing if rot progressive. This season he has introduced an innovation jn the vau- deville business by having a change of bill during each engagement. It is in reality a different show, and his enterprise is to be commended. Last night the bill was changed, and the performance furnished was even better than that which opened the week. The new burlesques presented are “Gay Girls at Monte Carlo” and “The Countryman’s Dream,” both of which were replete with witty speeches, pretty girls and fresh and scanty costumes. are EXCURSIONS. The excursion to Fortress Monroe, Vir- ginia Beach and Ocean View tomorrow evening promises to be the most successful one that the Norfolk and Washington Steamboat Company has arranged this sea- scn. Monday, being Labor day and a holi- day, will give an opportunity to be away from the city both Sunday and Monday. Instead of limiting the tickets to return Sunday evering, as usual, the Norfolk and Washington line will sell tickets for Fertress Monroe and Norfolk for tomor- rcw’s excursion, which will be good for re- turn pissage until Tuesday evening, Sep- tember 7, inclusive. If they*wish, passen- gers can return on Sunday or Monday evening on the night steamers, which leave Fortress Monroe every evening at 7:20, ar- riving in this city at 6:30 the follow- ing morning, or tickets will be good to re- turn on the steamer “Washington,” which will make the sail up Chesapeake bay and the Potomac by daylight, Tuesday, leaving Fortress Monroe at 8 a.m, and reaching here at 8 p.m. s Steamer ‘Newport News’ leaves 7th street wharf at 7 o'clock tomorrow even- ing, arriving at Fortress Monroe and Nor- folk early Sunday morning. Now that it is getting. ccmparatively near the end of the season, those who care to make the run to Indian Head cannot post- pone the outing for any length of time. If one should prefer to spend part of the time at Marshall Hall, the stops made by the Macalester, both going and returning, ailows one to do so. There dancing and any of the other numerous amusements may be indulged in, plenty of time being aliowed until the return of the steamer from Indian Head. There is music on the boat both on the down and home trips, and Schroeder's Band also furnishes the melodies for the dancers at the Hall. This trip, on which sc many have had the best sort of times this summer, should not be allowed to pass out of reach without one more evening pleasurably spent midst the enjoyments of this inmost popular down-the- river resort. The Macalester leaves at 6:30 p. mm. There are many living here in Washing- ton, who have been here for a long time,and have not taken the run to Movnt Vernon. Here is a historica! spot that hundreds of people come miles to see, especially in the spring and fall. If one has not made the trip the first opportunity should be taken to honor the memory of one of the chief figures in history. Washington’s tomb, which is primarily the objective point of all visitors, is located in one of the most pic- turesque parts of the grounds. It is a fine structure, fit to do the duty assigned to it. In front of the tomb all visitors will stand with bared heads while the guide tells of the historical points connected with the father of his ccuntry. The mansion is filled with things of interest. A great many cf the rooms have been kept just as they ‘re—with all the furnishings as in the time of Washington. The pleasantest way to reach Mount Vernon is by the steamer Macalester, which leaves every morning at 10 o'clock and again at 2:30. The excursion of Jasper Garrison of the Regular Army and Navy Union, which was givea to River View yesterday, was an en- joyable affair. The soldiers had many friends who turned out for the occasion and went to the View on the evening trip. The Fourth Artillery Band, which was in attendance, gave concerts during the after- roon and evening. The driil by the garri- son, under the command of Sergt. Parks, the commander of the garrison, was very fine, the fancy movements being particu- larly pretty and well executed. Nearly all the crowd remained down until the last boat and all came home well pleased. The last of the regular family di: trips, to River View, the popular excursion ‘re- sort, will be run turday of next week, and parents will take advantage of ‘the cheap rate of fare offered to give their chil- dren another outing before the season ends. These family days have been very popular ever since they were inaugurated some twelve years ago, and each Saturday has seen crowds of little people on the View grounds having a right merry time. Since the present seascn opened it is estimated that 1,000 children on an average visited the View cach week. They all had a great time and were allowed to play about the broad lawns of the View and make as much noise as they pleased without any one try- ing to stop them. Tomorrow the steamer Pentz will leaye her wharf at 10 a.m., 2 and 6:45 p.m., and on the two early trips the fare will be reduced to all, good to re- turn home on ary trip. Wednesday next it is understood a special family day trip will be made. Se Tedious Transfer Through Philadel- phia Avoided, Through trains to Atlantic City.

SAD DEATHOF MR§. W. P. BOTELER. She Was w@ Wengan of Charming Qualities ang. Enjoged Wide Esteem. The announgement .@f the death of Mrs. ‘Will P. Botelgr, which occurred early this morning at mer resjdence, 225 C street southeast, wil cause profound sorrow among the very large eircle of friends who esteemed herdso highly. Up to Saturday last she was genjoying apparently perfect health, and @n thate day returned from Loudoun “couggy, whege with her husband she had been-the guegt of Capt. and Mrs. James F. Oyster durigg the summer. Sun- day she was tgken sick and appendicitis de- veloped. Tucsslay she gave birth to an in- fant boy, whiph lived but fourteen hours. Yesterday anwperation was performed on Mrs. Boteler and theiwermiform appendage removed, and it wag thought that there was a bare chance for her recovery, but she sank again and died early this: morn- ing. Mrs. Boteler was formerly Miss Ad- die Shock, a granddaughter of Commodore Shock of the navy, and the same popularity she gained as a girl she retained as a wo- man. ‘She was gifted with qualities of the mest charming character, and a bright, sunny and lovable disposition, that attract- ed all who met her. Sne married Mr. Will P. Boteler; secretary of the Franklin Fire Insurance Company, several years ago. ———— PICKETT USES A RAZOR. Assaults ‘Hix Wife and Breaks Up a Parlor Soctal. What Walter Pickett did at a “parlor so- cial” last night in Peter Burke's house, No. 1423 Ist street northeast, may be the means of getting him several terms in prison if the police find him and his case is tried. He wielded a razor with telling effect, and a few minutes. after the inci- dent closed it was learned that five per- sons had been slashed. There was a “parlor social” or enter- tainment announced to be given at the Burke residence, and about a dozen per- sons, constituting the advance guard, had assembled in the parlor and were waiting until all the guests hould arrive, when they expected to begin the festivities. Seated about the parlor, they were chatting and discussing the event of the evening, when Walter Pickett appeared. It was then nearly 9 o'clock.' Pickett’s ‘company was not expected, for pis name had noc appear- ed in the list of invited guests. But Ida Pickett, his wife, was there, and this he thought gave him the right to enter the parlor and participate in the social. Incidentally, he ;had a craw to pick with his wife, and the fact that a quarrel would in all probability break up the affair made no difference to \him. He- started a row with Ida, and in a few minutes they came to blows. Everything looked fair for a free fight to follow, but Peter Burke an- nounced that no such disorderly scene was to be tolerated there. He»thereupan pro- ceeded to get rid of both members of the Pickett family. Mrs. Pickett, who greatly deplored the affair,wgs ready and willing to leave with- out petite ejected, but some little force was required to get Walter to the door. When the door was reached he seemed to be willing to leave, but before the door could be closed on him he turned and made a vicious assault on Burke. A razor was the weapon he used, and the man of the house s forced to retreat when he had receiv- ed a number of bad cuts. His forehead, well as the back of his head, had been gashed, and there were also cuts on his arm and wrist. Mrs. Burke, her daughter Martha, Mrs. Pickett anti Ernest Patton were the others upon whom Pickett visited his wrath. Peter Burke and his daughter were se- verely wounded, andi were very weak from loss cf blood when the police reached the house. They were put in the patrol wag- on and taken to Freedmen’s Hospital, where Drs. Williams, Warfield and Pinn rendered surgical aid, and it is thought they will recover. The others were only slightly cut, and it was not necessary to take them to the hospital. Pickett did not remain in the vicinity long after he had dene the bloody work, and although the police arrived upon the s¢ene without much delay, he waa not to be found. The officers have, a good de- scription of the fugitive and are making every effort to apprehend him. _ '¢¢ TIRED OF THE ALLIANCE. White Woman: Suew Her Colbtéa ‘Hus- .band. for Divorce.

It Is impossible, she explains, for her to lotiger endure his alleged brutality and un- dergo the hardships of her daily life of toil, her existence, she further explains, with him being miserable and unendurable.

FAUQUIER WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, Near Warrerton, September 1, 1897. The season here is on the wane. Sighs of regret are heard from all who have had the gcod fortune to enjoy the pleasures of this delightful resort. Regret, however, ‘s mcdified somewhat by the knowledge that the popular manager, Mr. John Brown, will next year again be in charge, with Capt. Green as his right bower. The last days have not, however, been without their interesting features, and no one has been lonesome. A large bowling party took place recently, at which Capt. Stinemetz won first gentlemen's prize and Mr. Jas. G. Traylor second. Miss Morgan tcok the ladies’ first and Miss Liebschutz second. An enjoyable progressive euci re party was given last Friday under the direction of Mrs. Trzylor, the prize winners being Mr: A. C. Quackenbush, Capt. E. D. Robie, \ S.N.: Mrs. Robie, Mrs. Stinemetz, Mr: Raymond and Miss Liebschutz of Wash- ington and Miss Mary Wright of Suffolk.
