Speelal Dispatch to The Evening Star. HYATTSVILLE, Md, August 13.— The new county bridge across the Ana- eestia, branch, 200 yards south of this place, is in imminent danger of being car- ted away by the swollen stream. A por- tion of ons abutment has already fallen. A force of men are at work filling in with gravel and brush to prevent the further demolition of the structure. The bridge was completed several weeks ago at a cest of $1,000 to the county. It is alleged that the masonry work was improperly performed, and an investigation by the ccunty authorities will probably follow. es Judge Cole’s Service. Judge C. C.

Judge Mills today sent John Tippett to jaf for three months for assaulting Frank Beuchert last. night. A quarrel occurred between Tippett and Beuchert, who are well-known hackmen, regarding a matter of business, and during the altercation Tip- pett drew a pocket knife and cut Beuchert in the throat, inflicting a painful, but not. dangerous wound. Beuchert’s injury was dressed at the Emergency Hospital z AFFAIRS IN ALEXANDRIA| THE BUILDING WAS_ DAMP} A NEW RAILWAY COMPANY Water From At! Directions—It Came = ‘The record of Re US city post office. for imbecility of Cs a was increased yeeterday. This new achievement was made possible by the rair that fell in such tor- rents. When the stcrm was at its height alt the areas around the buildimg were filled with water, which ran into the base- ment rooms-over the window sills, discolor- ing, end soiling plastering and making res- ervoirs of the apartments. This water came from the reof. The rain which fails on the roof is supposed to be carried off by: fcur-inch Jown spouts, but no less than feur of these four-inch outlets are emptied into. one six-inch outlet at the first story. A simple calculation will show how smooth- ly a sixteea-inch column ef water can be carried off by a six-inch pipe. When the capacity of the down outlet pipes was tested as it was yesterday there was simply a protest from the six-inch outlets and the seams at the connections between them were forced open and the areas got the water, and then the base- ment. The water rose to such am extent in the boiler room that the fires were put out and temporary wood fires had to be made on the upper grates in order to get up steam with which to work the pumps to get the water out, a proceeding that took all night. The big room in the southwest corner of the basement has a wooden floor. The water run in and covered it, causing it to warp and raise up. and practically ruining it. Twe sewer vents in another part of the basement threw columns of water almost to the ceiling and added to the flood. While all this was going on the water was pouring through the big glass roof as if it were a sieve, while in the look-out room, above the clock in the tower, the water stood four or five inches deep. This rcom was floored with that “water-proof” flocring of recent netoriety, which had not been removed. The rain did this virtually, however, because the water bored holes through it like an auger through chcese and poured down in the cloek room below in Bfty streams the size of a pencil. Over at the building today some of those in charge said the building “was a litle damp” yesterday. So was Niagara. POSSE FIGHTS BANDITS One Killed and One Mortally Wounded on Each Side. Hotel Hold-Up at Breckinridge, Col., Failed and the Rebbers Were Puar- sued—A Lynching Likely. BRECKINRIDGE, Col., August 13—A well-planned hold-up took place here in the Denver Hotel THursdiy night, but owing to the alarm caused b¥ the accidental dis- charge of a shotgun, held by one of the three robbers their .movements were so hurried that they didnot go through the safe or cash refistef, and only secured about $50 in money fréim a till, several gold watches and other jewelry, Deputy Sheriff M.

It is said Manley ts sinking fast and cannot live, and this alone can prevent his being lynched. Charlies Riley also was captured, but it appeared later that he has no connection ) with the robbery, but was with the hold-up when the posse overtook them. There is } no talk at present of lynching him. A posse with bloodhounds is scouring the hills in search of Pug Ryan. Manley has made a confession, tn which he says there were four men in the gang, one of whom, Fred Wilson, left for Glen- wood after the Breckinridge robbery. He also says that this gang committed numer- out robbertes in Cripple Creek and other mining camps and killed two men recently in a saloon robbery at Gold Field, Col. puitnsto Cea THE SIGNAL CORPS’ PROGRESS. Telegraph Lines in Porto Rieo—Work at Montauk Point. General Greely has received a dispatch from Lieutenant Colonel Reber at Ponce stating that they have used up all their insulators and that the work of extending the telegraph service will proceed at the rate of ten or twelve miles a day. General Greely says there ‘must be about 200 miles’ of telegraph now in operation in Porto Rico. Gen. Greely today received a dispatch from the signal officer in charge of that corps at Montauk stating “Everything moy- ing splendidly; our camp completed; men all well and comfortable; have plenty of wood; work thoroughly systematized.

Their operations have been wherever the army was, amid the sickness of Santiago as well as else- where, and yet the death by disease of none of the men has been reported. One officer died of fever, but none of the men has died from disease. Two have been killed. + oe win of webert Beart. ‘The will of the late Robert Beall, the well-known book dealer, who died Thurs- day, we8 filed today for probate with the register of wills, The will is very brief.

A meeting of stockhoRiers of the Hast Wushir.gton Heights Traction Railway Company was held yesterday at the office of Blair & Thom, and an organization was effected by the election. of the following as members of the board of directors: A. M. Buss, T. J. Brown, Chauncey Marshall, C. A. Barker, David C. Fountain, Geo. H. Judd, Horace Crosier, James A. Mahoney, E. C. Carpenter. This company was given a franchise by act of Congress, approved June 18, 1898, and is authorized te build a street railway beginnirg at the western approach to the Pennsylvania avenue bridge, thence across the Eastern branch on a bridge, to be built by the compary, im accordance with ‘plans to be approved by the Secretary of War. The road is then to be built along Pennsylvania avenue extended to Branch avenue, te the Bowen road and to the set- tlement of Good Hope. A line is also au- thorized to be built from the intersection of Branch avenue and the Bowen road to the District line by a route to be approved by the District Commissioners. On the Anacostia Road. Another branch can be constructed from the intersection of Minnesota avenue with Pennsylvania avenue extended, along the former to Harrison street, and also another fine from Pénnsyivania avenue extended and 28th street northward to the Anacostia road, and thence aiong the latter road to @ point to be fixed by the District Com- missioners opposite the settlement known as East Washingwwn Park. ‘The new company fs to use the overhead electric system, or such other electric or mechanical system as the District Commi: sioners may approve, but steam power is not to be used. Each car is to be provided with the double trolley. The company is authorized to issie capital stock to an amount not to exc22d the estimated cost of the construction and the equipment of the toad. The rate of fare is not to exceed 5 cents per passenger, and six tickets are to be sold for 25 cents. The act requires the new company and the Capital Traction Company to issue free transfers, and it further stipulated that when the route of the proposed road coin- cides with that of a country road of less width than sixty-six feet, the railway shali be constructed entirely outside of th? road. A Penalty Provided. The law provides that the railroad shall be commenced within one year and com- Pletzd within two years from the passage of the act, and In sixty days from the date of the approval of the act the company 1s required to deposit with the collector of taxes $1,000 to guarantee the construction of the railway within the prescribed :im2.

The Jeffersonian Club this week recotved a large “This assectation was mformed that Mr. Brodie had been married three times. His first wife died. His second wife, who de- nies that a divorce was ever obtained, is still living in this city. On his statement that he had been divorced from her, he married the third woman, Mrs. Emma Brodie, the mother of the boy Ralph, and the lady who now demands that the benefit shall be paid to her. At the time she ap- plied for the benefit, she was informed that the money could be paid only to the per- son who should be appointed administrator by the court. “Instead of applying for letters of ad- ministration, Mrs. Brodie consulted coun- sel, and took out letters of guardianship, on Eni she demanded the benefit for her ward. Z “This association declined to pay on that authority, requiring a proper appointment of an administrator by the court. Here- upon we were notified that if the benefit was refused on thes terms a sult at law would be brought against this association. “Now, therefore, this association begs your honor to permit it to place this money in the possession of the court, im order that it may be disposed of in accordance with law and justice.” This was asked on ac- count of the fact that ‘the association is formed among the employes of the pension bureau, its officers receiving no salaries, and it is a hardship for them ‘o be bar- assed with such contentions. Justice Cols granted the request, and the meney was promptly turned in to the court. : a Funeral of Robert Beall. The funeral services over the late Robert Beall were held st the chapel connected with Lee's undertaking establishment at 2 o'clock this afternoon.
