SUBMIT VIADUCT PUIS
Views of the Commissioners on
ScnatoJBill No. 2809.
SUGGEST SUNDRY CHANGES
Construction Slionltl Iloslii "Within
OneYeur and He Completed "With
in Four Xears Single Viaduct
Instead of Two Recommended on
Delaware Avenue.
The Commissioners returned to Congress
yesterday Senate bill 2c G9, introduced ac
tlie first session of the Fifty-fourth Con
gress, entitled "A l)ill to provide for the
elevation or the tracks of tlie Baltimore
and Obio ltailroad in the city of Wash
ington," but known generally as tlie via
duct bill, and-with it reported their
views of the measure, asking that it be
amended in sundry particulars and de
claring in favor of a single instead of a
double viaduct, as noted in the Evening
Times.
Tlie lull contemplates among other things:
That the track elevations be made upon
the existing route of tlie company's lateral
or Washington- branch for that "branch,
and upon a route for its Metropolitan
branch changed from First street to Dela
ware avenue, the two viaducts for the
track elevation intersecting at Delaware
avenue and II street.
That the viaducts shall be wide enough
to accommodate four tracks and necessary
sidings raid switches.
Tnat I) street north, between tlie east
line of Delaware avenue and the east line
of New Jersey avenue, and the cast line
or Delaware avenue", E street north, be
tween tlie east. Una, of North Capitol street
and Delawarsavcnue and Delaware avenue
at N street north be closed. That during
the construction necessary temporary
tracks may be laid on adjacent streets, and
that construction must be begun in two
years and completed in six years.
SUBURBAN GRADE CROSSINGS.
It may be noticed, the Commissioners
say, that no provision is made in tlie
bill for tlie abolition of grade crossings
outside or the city or Washington. Ex
perience shows that more accidents occur
at such crossings than at grade crossings
In the city, and it is believed that the
bill should require the speedy abolition of
county grade crossings, either by depression
or elevation, and upon plans subject to the
approval of the Commissioners. Paved or
uupaved suburban streets near the city
boundary are substantially city streets. It
is further judged proHT that changes of
grades or intersecting city streets, intended
to be authorized by the bill, or any substitute-
for it, should be under the control
of the Commissioners, and chat the plans of
the viaductshould be regulated accordingly.
The time of completion of construction,
six years, is deemed unnecessarily long.
Four ytars is thought to be ample, and, It
is urgPri.Uiat the construction should begin
within one year.
The laying and opcration'of temporary
tracks on other streets, during construc
tion to a greater or less extent will be
necessary for execution of the plans pro
posed in the bill, and will result not only
in expense to the railroad company, but
In damage to public and private proper
ties and inconvenience to tlie public, es
pecially if tlie viaduct construction con
tinues during four years.
AGAINST CLOSING STREETS.
Tlie closing -of D and E streets and
Ilelawamivenue at N street is thought to
be unnecessary and unwise, and there
fore shouifinot be permitted. North Cap
itol street, which would be closed at both
li and E streets by tlie bill, ought to be
kept open and not lowered any at the
cross streets named.
The elevation of tracks for hcad-ronm
at cross streets, intended by tlie bill and
required by the public, would result in
giving sufficient head-room at D, E and
N streets; North Capitol street will al
ready have a steep grade from C to I),
in fact, tlie steepest grade of streets In
Washington, and made so by the lowering
of the street level by the District to ac
commodate the surface tracks.
To close D and E streets "(vould trans
fer hauling from their lines to the bill
at C i-treet or .Massachusetts avenue, for
eastward traffic, or along F street, a
residential street in the northeast. Tlu
proxmity of these streets to the depots
causes more or less hauling upon tliem.
The reason for closing Delaware avenue
as called for by the bill, at N street, is
for avoidance of a grade crossing. The
reason for wholly closing the avenue at
I) street, also as called for by the billis
not apparent.
The railroad company's model of terminal
structure, patterned in conformity with
the provisions of the bill, shows a clos
ing of Delaware avenue from the east
curb to the west building line, between
D street and a point near G street, a
length of MOO feet.
This grand avenue and North Capitol
street, radiating from the Capitol, should
be retained, at least, in part, for general
street traffic, and for preserving the views
of the Capitol from their spaces, unless
the blockading of these highways or the
erection of barriers across their vistas
is absolutely unavoidable, which is not the
case here, as exhibited by plan on plate 3.
FOUR TRACKS SUGGESTED.
A viaduct for four tracks wiil measure
about fifty-five feet in width over all, or
five feet more than the ordinary avenue
roadway. To permit sidings in addition to
the four main tracks, as proposed in the
bill, will substantially turn Delaware ave
nue over exclusively for railroad purposes
and damage all properties fronting itexcept
for use as railroad yards, warehouses, etc.,
for which there is no liklihood, it is
judged, of such extensive need.
The freight and passenger stations, be
ing on the -west side of the avenue, the
viaduct should be located on that side,
leaving the whole of tlie roadway and the
cast side and ten feet for sidewalk on the
west side free for other use. That would
give the railroad company a strip seventy
feet In width next to the west building
line. The provision in the bill for tlie
purchase or condemnation of private
ground should include a requirement for
the extinguishment by similar means of
tlie frontage on the west side of the ave
nue. Tracks now running into private
premises, some of which arc on the east
side, have been suffered to be established,
it is believed, without warrant of law and
in fact contrary to the statutes.
The advantage to the city of a single
viaduct over two viaducts from the same
depot is evident. The Commissioners pro
pose a route and plan for a single via
duct, which they believe to be practicable
and not unduly inconvenient nor of ad
ditional cost to the railroad company.
It is laid along Delaware avenue to a
point beyond the city, and for the Wash
ington brach, then curves to the line of
P street and follows it, passing by a
deep cut through the northern grounds of
the Deaf and Dumb Institute to a junc
tion with the present branch eastward of
the institute.
Tlie route for the Metropolitan branch
is a prolongation of Delaware avenue
until it intersects the tracks of that
branch.
The new line is 800 feet longer than the
existing line, or at a train speed of thirty
miles per hour 19 1-4 seconds longer. The
length of viaduct in Washington on the
new "line Is 4,0Ti0 feet less than on the
route nu'uied in tlie bill.
The profile on the new line is drawn to
give fairly easy grades for the tracks
and to avoid any grade crossing of a
city or suburban street or country road
existing or proposed! Four city streets may
need to be lowered from two to'four feet.
The present tracks of the Washington
branch, eastward of the Institute grounds,
are for a considerable distance, at a level
and substantially at tlie natural eurfaco
of tlie ground; beyond' the level stretch
the tracks enter a cut, deep enough for
overhead streets, and on a down grade
until tlie District line Is passed.
The profile of the new line is dra.vn
for a lowering of the tracks of ten feet
along the level stretch, and it? Is expected
that intersecting streets will pass over the
tracks by bridges raised ten feet.
By the company's plan the passenger sta
tion remains at its present site; the ele
vated tracks in the station will neces
sarily be eighteen feet above the curb
opposite the entrance. The train shed
lies diagonally across North Capitol street,
and will loom up some eighty feet a bore
the street, and its near end occupy (he
middle of the present freight yard. The
freight shed extends from square to square
diagonally across North Capitol street. The
purchase of the greater part or square 080
and the east half of square CIO is evi
dently intended.
The passenger station by the Commis
sioners' plan Is located on square G83,
being east of the present station, and
north or the freiglit depot. The tracks
In tlie station would be three feet higher
tlinn the curb at the entrance. No tracks
would cross North Capitol street; all parts
of the terminals would lie between that
street and Delaware avenue, and no street
need be closed. By this change of site
or passenger station the viaduct would
le shortened 210 feet.
Square 083 is in large part unimproved.
It Is of the same size as square GUIS
belonging to the company, and which by
the new plans would be released from
railroad use.
URGE THEIR PLAN.
The Commissioners believe that the plan
herein recommended by them is much
more advantageous ror the public Inter
ests, and not inconvenient nor unduly ex
pensive for the railroad company. If grade
crossings are to be alwlished at all.
Tlie Commls-ioners urge tiie modifica
tion or the bill for conformity with the
views expressed herein.
It may be remarked that present laws
seem to nut! or'zethe municipal authoriticii
to limit the widtli or street space oc
cupied by railroad tracks, and that tlie
raflrcnd shall lie f o (Mif-tructed and made
within the city its v.tf to interfere with
the free use and traveling on the
public streets, and certainly that by
present laws the number of tracks of
the Metro. ohtan branch in Washington arc
restricted to two, and that the free usu
of any street or-avenue shall not be im
paired by the spurs r switches- Horn the
main tracks into any rnihoad grounds.
KI.KCTHIC l.IOII TS AND STKHETS.
CuiiiiuNslnners A nswer a Itesolution
of the Semite.
Obedient to a Senate resolution sent to
them requesting a statement of any ac
tion they may have taken, or contemplate
taking, in respect to the use of any of
tlie public streets by electric lighting
companies, the Commissioners yesterday
returned as their response a lengthy report
written by Captain Edward Burr, assistant
to the Engineer Commissioner.
The report recites tlie history of the
electric lighting controversy from the
time tlie bids were solicited by advertise
ment down to tlie present date, and closes
by saying that "all the actions of the
Commissioners have been, and are to be,
In accordance with the enactments of
Congress and the interpretation thereof
by the courts."
A copy of Justice Cole's opinion, recent
ly rendered in the case of the United
States Electric Lighting Company against
the Commissioners, accompanied tlie report.
"WIFE "WENT TO ENGLAND.
Xnw Henry .7. I.ee Seeks a Divorce
for Desertion.
Ilenry J. Lee, an Englishman, yester
day filed suit for divorce from Delia C.
Lee, who Is now living in London. Tlie
defendant is charged with desertion. It
was April 15, 1879, that the parties were
married at Exeter, Devon, England. They
lived happily in England until July,
1889, when, with the hope or betteriiig
his condition, Mr. Lee says, he came to
the United States.
The wire remained in the old country
for two years and in 1SS9 brought her
three children here with her to Wash
ington. The mother announced her Inten
tion of returning to England, saying that
she only came to bring the children to
their father. True to her word, the del
fendant lett her husband and went abroad
and lias lived since in London.
Illicit Art's plaster.
Sleight-of-hand, in the olden time, was
entertaining and interesting, no doubt, but
how much more so are the wonderful mas
terpiece of conjuring presented by Ma
gician Kellar this season. Kellar seems
to have advanced far beyond his com
petitors, in the matter of originating and
producing illusions and deceptions which
are so incomprehensible as to seem al
most unreal, lie appears to possess an
affinity with unseen powers and to con
trol unknown forces, so bewildering are
some of his masterpieces. He materializes
men and women out of the air, before
the very eyes of his patrons, on a fully
lighted stage, upon which there are no
traps, screens or coverings of any sort.
His growth of real roses from a little
seed planted in sand is one of tbe best
of his small tricks, and lias yet to be
compassed by any rival perrormer. Mrs.
Kellar distributes these roses to the ladies
in the audience, and they are 'often pressed,
and kept for years as mementoes of the
great magician.
For Shoe and BTnrness-MnlscrH.
The Civil Service Commission announces
that there are vacancies in the position
of shoe and harness-makers hi Montana,
Arizona and South Dakota, the salaries
of which range from S1S0 to $720 per
annum, and that there are no eligibles
on the registers suitable for filling them.
An examination will be held on January
12, 1897, in all cities where there arc
applicants to procure eligibles for these
vacancies. Applicants for this position
will be given a very light examination, and
will be required to furnish evidence of
their experience at the trade.
Deafness Cannot Be Cured
By local applications as they cannot reach
tlie diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness Is
caused by an inflamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and'
when it Is entirely closed, Deafness Is
the result, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube restored to
its normal condition, hearing will be de
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing but
an Inflamed condition of the mucous surr.
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars fon
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)
thatcannotbecured by Hall's Catarrli Cure.

Informed the members that the committee
had decided to give another social event
at the clubhouse New Year's Eve, in
the form of a watch meeting and dance. .
These events are becoming very popu
lar with the members, and are looked

boys and their ladies. The program for
the evening will be a musical and dterary
entertainment from b:30 to M) .with
dancing and refreshments until the New
Year comes in.
Capt. Monday has called a .run for

A Happy CM l'lsttims Scene.
Travelers up Seventh street stop In
crowds to see the artistic window display
of .Messrs. ICiseman Bras., corner of Seventh
and E streets. Not only the magnificent
array of fine clothing and men's fur
nishings, peculiar to the season, but a
most artistic winter scene, showing the
in erry' pranks of jolly coaster's of all tia
Uonalitlcs., he-per&pectiYc In the back
ground shows up the snow-covered land
scape in all the glory of its winter .ap
parel. You can imagine you can sec way
off for Tillies. The near view brings for
ward prominently a. frozen lake, beside
which the merry coasters skim 'along.
Uncle Sam.flohn Chinanian, Pat, and the
Dutchman, and jolly groups of Juveniles
make a bright, realistic and happy scene
almost life-like. Nearby is the" abig
house" of the village, through the win
dows of which can be seen a gaily dressed
group of dancers, keeping perfect time in
the mazy waltz to the music furnished
by the musicians in an alcove. Pen de
scription fails to giye,.an adequate idea
6t this delightful and appropriate Christ
mas scene. There's a charming blending
of life, color, and realism that fascinates
the beholder. Ifc is worth taking, a "day
off" to see, and parents should bring tlie
littloi folks to see this mechanical master
piece. Eiscman Bros, have just reason to
be proud of their unique ami original dis
play, which is attracting, tlie admiration
of thousands. '

Our letter said: 'The elec Ion is conceded
in this part ot the word to Mr. McKinlev
and as per our recent letter.-we. with others'
cannot see any ,ther outcome to the election!
We do ran to see. however, why prices after
advancing from 15 to 2o point or more, should
go very much higher merely because our
pr"entstae?r aff-iirs are to be continued
which is what Mr. McKin ey'g election mean":
o laws can le passed, because the Senate is
adverse to so doing, that will positively com
mit us as a nanoa to always have a gold stand
ard. On the event of Mr. McKlnley's elecUon
we predict a tear Christum-, and will v to
remember to call your attention to this letter
at that time." Contrast this to the regular
and frantic appeals to buy stocks which you
liavo read during the last forty days Ocr
letter i-s andiriL
In Saturday's i?sue we gave advice to which
we say we again expect to call j our attention
in tua near future.
