I GRADE CROSSINGS AND IMPROVEMENTS -—— Paper Urging Reclamation of the Anacostia Flats. > THE REPORTS RECEIVED The first meeting of the Northeast Wash- ington Citizens’ Association since the recess n in June was held last evening in Northeast Temple, corner of lith and H stree northeast. President Evan H. Tucker o ied the chair and Mr. 8. Sow- erbutts was secretary. Some introductory remarks were made by President Tucker, in the course of which he said that though the war with Spain was ended, the killing of citizens because of the existence of grade crossings by railroad trains contin- ued. Mr. W. J. Frizzell, chairman of the com- mittee on steam informed the as- arned on reliable y that the long-deferred answer of and Ohio Railroad Company ‘ociat au ri the timore to the complaint of the organization in ref- erence to the continuance of the grade company at Delaware ect had been made. Mr. omitted a report from the ilroads. Report of Railroad Committee. The report was as follows: “According to newspaper accounts, the Baltimore and Ohfo Company is, and has for some time been, drifting into a state of hopeless insolvency, and foreclosure pro- ceedings may be necessary to bring about a reorganization, unless the several con- flicting and antagonistic interests become reconciled either through compromise or a fight to the finish, with a survival of the fittest. J. P. Morgan & the holders of the consolidated mortgage. the Chicago division, Parkersburg branch and Pittsburg and Connellsville first con- solidated bonds; Speyer & Co, are support- and backing the interest of the Pitts- burg and Connellsville second consolidated mortgage, and Brown Bros. and others are lcoking after the floating debts secured by collaterals and other claims, besides the large interests of the state of Maryland, Baltimore city, Johns Hopkins estate and the small holde which constitute a mul- tiplication of conglomerations, generally supposed to be represented by the present ers. “Notwithstanding all this, Engineer Com- pner Black, in an interview on the 4th of March last, stated that an agree- ment had been reached between the Dts- trict Commissioners and the Baltimore and Ohio Company by which, as he was in- formed. within one year after the company by Congress to make the pro- they will have been com- d: “The company will submit in the early days of its session authorizing it to proceed with the proposed improvements, and so far as th more and Ohio Company is con- de crossing: > past in Washington will within a year from orted by this commit- Ivers of the Baltimore i conveyed to him Marct blocks of land in Eck Present. track: nd the line which is suppose two roads will unite under tid to be agreed upon by thi tnd Ohio, the District Commi. the chairman of the Senate Di: din The Even- t Mr. John K. ‘It may not be the authorities of of Columbia are pressing the d the officers of the company an as to the best manner of ele- tracks of the Washington District, so as to avoid grade in the clty of Washington.

Accord- ingly, on February 2 last the district at- terney filed a bil’ In equity in the Supreme Court of this District, in which fs given a detailed history of the legislation hy Con- gress covering the grants to the Baltimore ard Ohio Company, ard alleging that sald company has no lawful right to occupy the space at Delaware avenue and Ist strect, nor to maintain more than one set of tracks on the Washington branch of Sts read. Under the rules of the court an an- swer to this bill should have been filed on or about the Ist of March last, but up to tcday the docket shows no such answer, netwithstanding the fact that on or about July 20 the attention of the district attor- ney was called to the default, and he there- upon cited the attorney for the Ballimore and Obto Company to answer immediately. Yeur committee is of opinion that with vigorous agitation against the antiquated Brade crossings oy this association, and the citizens of Washington in general, Con- gress will soon be persuaded that the cap- ital city should be provided with modern Steam railroad terminals."* The report was adopted. Paper by Miss Townsend. On motion of Dr. Kirby, the association saopted as the sentiment of the agsocia- tion a paper written by Miss Teste N. Townsend of Northeast Washington, on the subject of the reclamation of the An: costia flats. The paper was as follows: “It is doubtless safe to assert that within recent years no question relating to the gereral improvement of our city has re- ce'ved so much attention as the problem of the Anacostia flats. This question has found expression in petlic comment, in editorials, in represen- tations from the health department and in resolutions framed by the East Washing- ton Citizens” Association and the local beard of trade. Such institutions as the insane asylum, the jail and almshouse, which berder on the marshes of the Eas’ ern branch, have made successive appeals for relief in their annual reports. It has been repeatedly placed before Congress. “By the term ‘Anacostia flats’ is meant the unreclaimed lands which form the al- luvial banks of the Anacostia river, from its confluence with the Potomac to Ben- ning bridge and beyond to the Maryland line. In area it’approximates 1,000 acres. As the banks or mud bars are not sufficlent to prevent overflow from tidal influence, is sluggish stream becomes practically agnant pond. These mud bars sup- a port a prolific growth of aquatic plants and reeds. When the tide is out the mud bettoms and aquatic vegetation are ex- posed to the beating rays of the sun. This vegetation wilts and Hes in great quantities the sediment, continually undergoing miasma-breeding decomposition. Into this mass of putrefying vegetable matter there is constantly discharged on the city side the contents of numerous sewers. The great northern boundary sewer at the east- ern end of H street and the open James creek canal sewer, which discharges at the arsenal grounds, add to the insanitary conditions. “Not only is a great part of Southeast Washington, which is largely a residence section, affected by the prevailing condi- tion of the Anacostia river, but many of the city’s public institutions are likewis By reference to the map it will be seen Co. are backing ; that the jail, work house and almshouse, navy yard and Washington barracks are located on the city side, while the thriving suburbs of Twining City and Anacostia, including St. Elizabeth’s Ineane Asylum, are situated on the left bank. “The greatest benefit to be derived from @ reclamaticn of these flats is, therefore, an improvement in sanitation and conse- quently of the public health. Along the ursightly banks of the sluggish Anacostia Jurk suffering, danger and death for our residents, who for financial reasons are compelled to reside in that locality. From the city board of health statistics have Jong shown the need of serious attention. It has been ascertained by the faculties of our mecical schools that various malarial fevers have prevailed in these sections. From excellent authority I learn that out of 2,000 inmates of St. Elizabeth's, 800, or 40 per cent, were ‘down with the chills’ within a year. It is safe to assume that the same condition will affect all to the degree with which they are forced to breathe thia malarious atmosphere. Affects the Schools, “Teachers in East Washington and Twining City assert that much of the ir- regularity of attendance and absenc2 of pupils from school is due to chills and fevers distinctly traceable to these unre- claimed lands. And these baleful influences extend beyond the immediate vicinity cf the flats. One of the surgeons general of the army has officially stated that in mid- summer the soldiers at the ars:nal were in positive jeopardy, and that the health of the soldiers at Fort Myer was affected. It is therefore but just that an appeal to Con- gress for a suitable appropriation on the scor2 of health flone should be urged by every resident. We have a convincing tes in the utility of the scheme in the tamation of the Potomac ‘lats. In a tab- presentation In a rep from t th department of the District of Co! there is show in the th in the : ISst ate wal death rate was S41 per cent. ‘This gradual happy d2crease in the face of an increasing population is at- tributed almost entirciy to the tmprove- ments in the Potomac river. It is well Known that the dr of the Harlem flats in New York city has appreciated property to a fabulous degree. Cities in Sngland and France been similarly efited. Formerly Rome was less fr2- qvented in summer than now, but with im- provements on the historic Tib the stream of tourists has retarr “The plan of reciamation i channel, depositing the m: jal dredged upon the marshes. This would be th? means of causing the land to assume a to dredge a mirket value probably sufficient to pay for the improvements. “Commereially speaking, the intended reclamation will be of great advaniag: in extending our shipping facilities and in quickening business activity. As the al- ready overcrowded wharf front is insuf- ficient for the needs of merce, the ad- dition of a mile or mor? of waariage, with the deepening and wid. g of a navigable stream, will be of the greatest advantage to cemmerce. At one time the Anacostia, his- tory tells us, was navigal 8 far as Blad=nsburg, for during the war of 18i2 the British ships sailed to tnat point. Purther- more, if the dry dock Jiscussion becemes @ reality, {t will be necessary that the ch. nel_be improved. “There are thus three direct advantag>s to be derived by the reclamation cf the flats. First, and most important, the al- leviation of insanitary conditions—a cr: ing need; second, the deep »ning and widen ing of a navigable stream, with an tion of a mile or me “ the extension of a ci now a plague spot and proved and beautified. 1 might be divided int public park. ‘The park formed into a bower of pi and tranquillity, instead of the present marshy shores ‘of mud, resds and filth resounding with the noisy croak of fr.

Mr. Frizzell stated that in response to a d re letter from him he hi eived a communi- cation from Assesso ing that Howard Unive $16 worth of property and was exempt from paying on $192,460; Georgetown Uni- empt; Columbian, $210, and the € able, $6,600; exen pt, Mr. H. H. Martin, chairman of the com- mittee on streets, avenues and a made a report, which was adopted, showing the condition of the strests and avenues in each of the four sections of Washington, July 1, 1897, with mileage and percentage of unimproved streets, as follows: North- west, miles improved, 92.48; unimproved, 9.81; percentag>, unimproved, . North east, improved, 17. unimproved, 26.83 percentage unimproved, Southwest, im proved, 22.6%; unimprove > percentage unimproved, .30. Southeast, improved, 24.1 unimproved, 24.30; percentage unimproved, 0. Street Improvements. Continuing, the report said: Without criticising the officers who have been in- trusted with the apportionment of the ap- propriations for this work in the past, it is evident from the above statement that the methods employed have resulted in leaving a mucn larger percentage of the streets in the northeast unimproved than in other sections, and when we note that in 1802 66 per cent of the streets in this section were unimproved, we see that there has been @ gain of but 4 per cent in five years. At this rate it would take about seventy-elght years to improve all the streets in this section, and it 1s not prob- eble any one of our members would sur- vive to see the work completed. “We desire to eall your att=ntion to a few points in repard to existing conditions and present methods which our investiga- tion has disclosed. “Notwithstanding the fact that only 9.6 per cent of the streets in the northwest sec- tion remain unimproved and that most of these have been graded and regulated and are in fatrly good condition, a larger appro- priation is made every year for the improve- ment of streets in that section than for the northeast, where 62 per cent of the streets remain unimproved, most of which are in very bad condition, many of them being in a state of naiure, with not even sidewalks or gutters. It is a noticeable fact that good pavements in the northwest Which had been laid at a large cost have been torn up sim- ply because the residents on them object to the nolse of the traffic over them and new pavements laid, while the people of the northeast are still enduring the mud and dust of unpaved streets, and while the northwest section is receiving @ larger an- nual appropriation for new work than any other section, the fact must not be over- looked that its concrete and coal-tar pave- ments are continually being resurfaced at a large expense. For a number of years, up to the present year, an annual appro- priation of $150,000 has been made for re- surfacing and repairs to concrete pave- ments, and this year that amount has been increased to $180,000; and in view of the fact that there are seventy-three miles of such pavements in the northwest and only twenty-elght miles in all the other sections of the city (only nine miles being in the northeast), it is evident that e large por- tion of this appropriation is expended in the northwest section. “In view of the above it is the opinion of your committee that justice requires that a change be made in the method of appor- tioning the appropriations for street im- provements, and we recommend that in fu- ture the apportfonment be based solely or mainly upon the percentage of unimproved streets in the several sections. “We further recommend that the associa- tion exert its influence to secure larger ap- priations for this work in the future than have been made in the past, Special Acts of Congress. “We take this opportunity to call yourat- tention to several special acts\which have recently been passed by Congress making appropriations for the extension and im- provement of suburban streets, and provid- ing that the entire expense shall be paid out of the revenues of the District, and we recommend that this association vigorously protest against and resist the passage of all similar acts in the future, all such acts being contrary to the act of i878, by which an agreement was entered into between the United States government and the Dis- trict, providing that the United Stetes gov. ernment would pay 50 per cent of all the ex- penses of the District. It is the opinion of your committee that if this agreement is to be continually broken, in thie way, in P. J Nee’s Great Carpet énsation! Brand New Fall Patterns in Good : T can teo.

Decision Regarding Bids for Big War Vessels. The Navy Department has reached a conclusion as to the awards of contracts for the construction of the new battle ships. When the bids were opened it was found that for the fast ships desired the Newport News company was the lowest, Cramp next and the Union iron works just above, and all within the limit of cost fixed by the Pact of Congress. It was the original plan to award the contracts in that order. But upon examination of the plans submitted by the bidders it was round that the only thoroughly satis! tory one was that sub- mitted by Cramp, wno had simply taken the alternate plans suggested by the Navy Department, which amounted to lengthen- ing the hull of the ships from 15 to 2v feet, in order to gain room for the more power- ful engines required to drive the ship at a speed of 1844 knots instead of 16 knots, as first proposed. After considering the sub- ject in all aspects the board of naval bu- reau chiefs has hit upon a solution of the question, They have invited the Newport News company and the Union Iren Works Company to amend their plans so as to make their ships identical with that pro- posed by Cramp. Mr. Scott of tie Cali- fornia company has agreed to do this al- ready, and the representative of the New- port News company has verbally agreed to do the same, so it is the understanding that each of the companies will be given a contract for one ship. ae ee LONG ISLAND ROAD MONOPOLY.

He was brought up at Parma, Italy, in a charity school, and at the age of ten was thrown on the streets without resources. He worked as an un- skilled laborer until he was twenty. Then he served in the Italian army three years and @ half. On leaving his regiment he was employed as the valet de chambre of the Prince of Aragon for three months. At this time an- archist Id began to possess his mind, and, to use his own words, ‘‘prevented me from remaining in servitude.” First View of the Empress. In the course of a life of adventure he happened to be at Budapest in 1894. There for the first time he saw Emprese Eliza- beth. He was miserable and weak, and applied to the Italian consul to be returned to Italy. The consul sent him to Fiume. His description of his subsequent wan- derings was vague, and he said he seldom, if ever, obtained work. While staying at Laussanen he saw a file outside a shop, purchased it with no conceived purpose and made a clumsy wooden handle for it. In prison he has boasted of his crime, and he has addressed a letter to a Milan newspaper, expressing a fear lest he be mistaken by Prof. Tombroso for a degen- erate. Dilating in this communication upon the objects of a militant anarchism, he wrote: 5 “Above all it is the great who must be struck. Not only sovereigns and their ministers will be reached by the comrades, but all who make men miserable on earth.” He says he was not impelled by misery to kill the empress, as such a course would have been idiotic, but he committed the deed in order that such erimes, following one upon the other, might cause all who impoverish the populace to tremble and shiver. The document concludes with this declaration: “Iam an anarchist by conviction.” The Emperor's Grief. The Emperor of Austria and his daugh- ter attended mass yesterday morning in the private chapel of the Schoenbrunner palace, Vienna. His majesty showed evi- ences of intense grief, but he said he aid not lose faith in God. He expressed a wish for confession and communion. During the day the emperor reread with much emotion a passage in the last letter he received from the empress, in’ which she expressed herself as being pleased with the prospect of returning to Vienna in a few days to witness*the jubilee festivi- ties. His majesty attended the usual state duties. The emperor has telegraphed the follow- ing reply on receipt of the telegraphic con- dolences of the pope: “In the frightful misfortune that has struck me and my house the words of your holiness, full of holy indignation and af- fection, and inspired by that faith which henceforth is my only refuge, have con- veyed sweet consolation to my broken heart. “Holy father, accept my most profound and most devoted thanks for your words and your fraternal benediction, Pray re- member with pity in your holy prayers henceforward the saintly soul, my blessed, well-beloved companion, myself and my family.
