They Inspect the Eckington Railroad —Mr. John E, Searles, Mr. H. P. Scott and Others Present. Mr. John E. Searles of New York, Mr. H. P. Scott of Wilmington, Del.; Mr. Nicholas P. Bond and other members of the syn- dicate that recently purchased the Colum- bia and Maryland raiiroad and other rail- read properties are in the city today. They arrived here this morning and shortly after breakfast they started out for an in- spection of the Eckington and Soldiers’ Home railroad, one of the properties the control of which was secured in the recent deal. They were accompanied by Mr. O. 'T. Crosby of this city, who is one of the di- rectors of the company which is the cor- porate form of the syndicate. On account of the rain it was necessary for the visitors to take a closed vehicle, and in order to accommodate the entire party, which numbered si a hack, which is used by one of the hotels to run to the railroad depots, was secured. The party was driven to the office of the Eckington company and over the entire line, and sufficient time was spent to en- able them to get some idea of the physical features of the property which they now control. At the close of the trip the members of the party held a conference in a reom at one of the hotels. This afternoon a Star reporter sent his card to Mr. Scott, and it was handed by that gentleman to Mr. Searles, who sent cown word asking to be excused, as he was very much occupied. It is understood that, in addition to the desire of these capitalists to personally i speet the property which they now con- trol, the visit to this clty was arranged so that a conference could be had with Mr. Searles, who, as stated, represents the largest holding in the syndicate. It was announced that this meeting was to be held in Baltimore, but the plans were evi- dently changed, and this city selected in- stead. =e Major Handy’s Condition. Major Moses P. Handy, who has teen seriously {ll here, was better today. Though still unable to leave his bed, he continues to improve slowly, and as soon as he is stronger he will be taken to some place in ne south where the climate is more favor- able. ee Bench Show Closes. The bench show at the Riding Academy closed last night at 10 o'clock, and the ani- mals have all been shipped to their homes. Superintendent Oldham stated that he was satisfied with the result, and that he would return here in the early spring with the in- tention of giving another show, under the auspices of the Washington Kennel Club. The late exhibition was handicapped by the fact that many of the best dogs are housed at the present time, and some are in the field. It must also be taken into consideration, Mr. Oldham stated, that everybody at the present time is engaged in making preparacions for the Christmas season. The jury in the case of Walter Pickett, the young colored man who was charged with carving Peter Burke, colored, and cthers at a parlor social the 2d of last Sep- tember, failed to agree, and late yesterday afternoon Chief Justice Bingham dis- charged them, remanding Pickett to jail to awail a new tri: pen et Street Width an Issue. The question of whether or not it is nec- essary to widen 19th street from Florida avenue to Columbia road will be deter- mined in a hearing before Judge Cox in the District court Monday next. ——— Retrial Refused.

The patrol wagon an- swered to the call from the box, with J. E. Mooney as driver and Fritz Passau as the officer in charge, and the woman was placed in it and started on the way. to the station, the horse going at a lively gait. Before the wagon had proceeded far the woman threw herself over the side of the wagon, landing on her back on the hard asphalt. She got up at once and ran away. The patrol driver did not antici- pate the woman's attempt to regain her freedom. and by the time the wagon had stopped she was safely away. The alarm as given jor her arrest, and it !s expected he will be in cusiody before many hours have passed. An interesung musical and literary en- tertzinment was given last. evening at Linthicum Hall by the ladies of the Dum- Garton Avenue M. E. Church. There was a crowd of nearly 500 people present, and a good program was presented. The en- tertainment was given to raise funds with which to secure a carpet for the new church. The cost of this item alone in the new edifice wiil be over $1,000, and the ladies of the congregation have taken it upon themselves to raise the necessary cash, Kev. S. A. Martin, D.

Use of the Police for Distribution Work Considered. Major Moore, superintendent of polices, had a lengthy conference today with Act- ing President Wight of the board of I trict Commissioners relative to the e ployment of the pclice officers in the di: tribution of charity during the ensuing cold weather whenever it shall become necessary that charity b2 dispensed in crder to avoid suffering. The subject was not finally decided, and Mr. Wight requested Major Moore to fur- ther consider the matter and to submit his views thereon to kim in writing: In conversz with a Star reporter Mr. Wight sai d serious doubts as to whether the giving of charity was a proper duty for the police of the District to perform. He had no doubt, he said, that when the work was done in that way it done efficiently, and that there was no r sonable ground for eriticism; that it was probally the promptest way in which re- lief could be extended to the desery yet when officers were employed in thé ion it took many of them from their beats and he did not know, as yet, whether even so commendable work of char- ity was a sufficient cxcuse tor the possible neglect of other duties. Mention was made to Mr. Wi ight that in some cities, as for example Baltimore, the police authorities each winter dispen: a vast amount of supplies that were ci tributed by wealthy people for th Dracticed, no doubt that correct, but that the i by him from Baltimore that taere were on the police force there SI7 men, and that the territory to be guarded by them was only about fifteen quare miles, ereas in Washington there ure only between 50 and 60) men; these to guard property in a territory of seventy- two square miles. Mr. Wight further stated that he was mre interested in preventing the commis- sion of crime than he was that the police- men should make a praiseworthy record for the arrest of offenders, and if officers were taken from their beats to perform any other auty than that which they were ex- pected to look after in that line the prop- erty of the citizens was left unprotected to a ceriain extent. Whenever a crime was committed and the perpcirator escaped er- rest, there was a loud outcry from every portion of the District that the police authorities were not sufficiently alert to catch criminals, and in view of this and other matters connected with the subject he had not been able to bring himself to the belief that the dispensing of charity was a part of the duties of the policemen of the District of Columbia. He had not, how- ever, finally decided what to do about the question, out would determine after re- ceiving Maj. Moore's report. Many citizens interested in aiding the poor argue that the distribution of relief by the police does more to prevent crime than any other one thing. It presents the police to the poor in the light of helpers and not scourgers. The police also, according to these bellevers, «re in @ better position to know the necessities of the poor than anybody else. ae MEMORIAL SERVICE.

There were many expressions of satis- faction from senators who visited the Capi- tol today over the improvements to the Senate wing which have been made during the recess by Col. Bright, the sergeant-at- arms, and Architect Clark. The work of painting the corridors and improving their appearance has been de- sembed in The Star heretofore. A more re- cent addition to the improvements is the substitution of illuminated glass for the dingy and light-obscuring panes in the doors of the Senate chamber and gal- leries. The main entrance to the cham- ber and the lobby entrances now have solid mahogany dvor frames, inclosing glass panes through which the outlines of per- sons approaching the dcor can be seen and a collision thus averted between two per- sons attempting to pass through the door at the same time. In the Senate galleries the doors leading into the corridors are of maple with il- luminated glass pan The effect is ap- preciabie from the floor of the Senate by ee admission of more light to the cham- er. The Vice President's Room. The room. of the Vice President has been thoroughly overhauled and refurnished. The room now presents an appearance of elegant simplicity that excites the admira- tion of all those who haye seen it. The coloring of the walls is a light cream and without any further de t ver. The effect is to produce a subdued light in the room that is very restful to the eye The floor is covered with a rich Persi rug. said to be one of the hi masomest e brought to V brasures are s! ad ‘The main docr and the glass panes of the book case are screened by silk curtains of changeable hue. The main feature of the new furnishings in the room, however, is a magnificent cen- ter serving asa desk. It was built to order for the purpose, and is of solid mahogany square high de; this piece and the Vice President is said to be g pleased with it. Reducing the Hall of mseresentatives It s Conere ieee Reed will take scme steps to promote his plan for reducing the size of the hall of the Ho of Representatives. He advanced the s gestion a long time ago, elaborated it in a ms idea is to have a legislative third the size of that at pres to utilize the balance of the space for a working room and a consultation room. His idca is to take the central part of the hall, rupning from the main north rence to the Speaker's desk, for legisla- tive purp and to have rooms of equal size on either side which can be used for consultation and for the work which is ed with the work of the Ho part of the House proceeding ter writing and a lot of sim now eons by_ member: the tention, st. More- stantly some sort of canvassing or caucusing going on among members during the sessions of the House, usually cn sabjects not connected with the matter uader consideration. ‘This in- terrupts proceedings and tests the lung power of the speaker who wishes to le heard across the hall. If the writing could be done in one rocm, the caucusing 7 conversation in another and legislating in another, it would greatly facilitate busi- ness. It is probable that soon after Congress convenes a bill or resolution will be in- troduced providing either for an inquiry into the practicability, from an architect- ural point of view. of making such a di- vision of the hall, or else formally direct- ing that the work be done. An inquiry into the subject will probatly be author- iz Restoration of the Crypt. ‘The clearing out of the old brick parti- tions from the crypt of the Capitol, which was begun scme time ago, has been com- pleted and the whole place has been paint- ed. The effect is even more wonderful than it promised to be. It ts doubtful if there is anything more impressive im the architecture of this capital city than this crypt. It is solemnly, somberly grand. 1s grandeur disclosed for the first iime in twenty years, it seems as If it had just been dug from the earth, where it nad lain buried since an age of architectural spien- dor. There is nothing ornate about it in coor or form; it is simply a forest ef per- fectly plain columns standing close together and filling in an immense circle—as large as the rotunda above—the columns support- ing a netwcrk of interlacing arches. ‘The intersecting arches make sharp angles, though the swell of each arch is full and round. The vaulted ceiling thus formed is low enough, tcgether with the short, thick columns, to give the chamber the appcar- ance of great size and to render it grandly somber. It would be impossible for any one to enter this crypt, as it now is, its entire outline and proportion disclosed for the first time, without pausing at the entrance with a sense of awe or wonder. There is probably no one in the present House, and but few are in the Senate, who remember this chamber before it was cut up with partitions. Its complete restoration has occurred since the adjournment of the ex- tra session. Therefore most of Congress see it for the first time. Even the most unobservant among them start and pause as if oppressed by some new emotion on seeing it. The more im- pressionable stand long in contemplation and return again and again. Its dim aisles, bent in circles between the columns, seem made for meditation and inspire svlemn thoughts. Frivolity would pause at the threshold, and elther enter not at all or else change to the suise of serious thoughtful- ness. There one maixht mae and ee yn great things only; the mind mi take on the fullness of the swelling uni- verse and the somber shades of the sepul- chre. Hardly any one, from a child to a gage, could pass through this restored crypt without feeling some sort of emotion. Child Missing.
