President Winston said yesterday that the plan in brief was to open and develop for suburban purposes a large area lying south of the .'nines Blver. nearly opposite Wosihnmptoii. The promoters of the new railway are largely Interested in this properly, and have already financed n bridge twee j the river, which is now" In course of , construction, and which la lo be com? pleted In July of Ibis year. The total mileage of the new line as at present j planned, ? Mr. Winston said, would be; about five and one-half miles, though j accurate surveys had not been coin- j pleted. Later extensions may lie made to Midlothian. Bon Air or other points, though thi- has ion been determined u pon. The company proposes to build, equip and operate tin- line on its own account, though It will probably secure eloctflc tpower from the Virginia Rail? way and Power Company under con? tract.

General Superintendent C, B.

The line, lie said, would be operated Independently of the Virginia Railway and Power Company system, and while a junction point would be ar? ranged for transfer of passengers at or near WesthHmpton.

ESCAPE DEATH IN WRECK Judge Rlica and Mr. Downing W ere Passengers on 111-Fatcd G. & ?. Train. Although it nearly cost him Iiis lifo, Judge William F. lUiea, of the Slate t.'o'rporation Commission, has delivered to Governor Wflllam H. Glasscock, ot West Virginia, the proposition ot tlie Virginia Debt Commission to have a conference to arrange the amount of in? terest which should be paid by tho younjjer State, which has lost In the recent litigation. Judge Rhea returned u> Richmond yesterday morning at V o'clock. ' Together with II. H. Downing, ot Kr?nt Hoya I. Judge Ithea left Virginia .Monday evening! bearing the message to Governor Glasscock. On Tuesday morning their train was wrecked near Hinten, the engineer and fireman being killed, and the passengers escaping in? stant death by what seemed a provi? dential Interposition. Will Cblinidcr Matter. As to the result of the trip, Jut'ge Rlica would only say yesterday that the Governor had received the Virginia messengers very cordially and had promised to take the matter under con sl<i?ratlon and to communicate with t hem later. j in its recent decision awarding Judg- | ment to Virginia of f7.000.n00 of the, principal of the public debt, for which this Stale has Issued Its certificates, the Supreme Court of tho United States suggested that the matter of interest, which might amount to three times the .principal, should be a subject ot mutual conciliation and agreement bo tween the parties to the suit. There? fore the court said it would nwalt the result of a conference between Virginia and West Virginia, "In reliance upon the honor nnd constitutional obliga? tions of tile States concerned." Itcndy for Conference. Following the rendering of this judg' I iron;, a meeting of the Virginia Debt I Commission was held at the Jefferson I Hotel, in this city, on April 20, to con? sider further proceedings; It was re? solved thnt tho commission: through its chairman, .should bring the matter to the attention nf the Governor ot West Virginia, with the request that lie would, "at the ear~?st convenient moment, lay It before the Legislature, now soon to assemble, or to take such other and more appropriate course as will lead to a conference between the i\v.> States, in order to bring about a final nnd complete conclusion of the cause." The commission, in Its address to tile Governor, further expressed the hope "that you are in accord with It in desiring a speedy termination of this : litigation, and that you will do whnt I ever lies In your power to bring about I an early conference between the rep? resentatives of the two States." In pursuance of this address to Gov? ernor Glasscock, Chairman John D. Moon, of the Virginia Debt Commission, appointed Representative H. D. Flood, Judge W. F. Rhen and IT. 11. Downing to present the matter to the Governor of West Virginia. The two latter made tho trip this week. I'onMblc Action, Governor Glasscock, who has called the Legislature in extra session, did inn specify consideration of the debt ease In his call, and It cannot therefore be ccmsidccrd as legislation, but It has been suggested that the Legislature might take up the matter by resolu? tion, appointing a commission to treat with Virginia. Further, it is surmised that the Governor might reconvene the Legislature for a few days at the close of the extra session for consideration of the proposition. Judge Rhen escaped In the wreck of ? Chesapeake and Ohio train No. 3 with |? severe jolting. He was seated with .Mr. Downing in the smoker of the Washington sleeper when the derail? ment occurred. The cars ran along on the ties for some distance, until the engine ran into tho side of a hill, oai' next to the engine continued on tho track for some little distance, nnd to this remarkable instance Judge Ithca attributes tho escape of all the passengers from serious injury. Had the first car rollowed the engine, ho thinks the Impact would have been dis? astrous. Tho experience was a horrible one, and one which he hopes not to encoun? ter again.

Council Committee on Streets last night to a resolution pro? viding for an Issue of $1,000,000 in bonds. The cominltteo was practically unanimous In recommending the pupor, though Mr. IJliley expressed some doubt as to whether It would over see daylight from the , Committee on Finance. In explaining Its purport. Mr. Lynch sab! that with the completion of the deep sewer in the north side of Broad Street, from Ninth to Adams Streets, contract for which was awarded last night to 1. .1. Smith ,t Company, the lowest bidder, the way would be open for the improvement of the roadbed of Broad Street within the next few months. Tho city, he stated, was ob? ligated to smooth paving of the thoroughfare through the business sec? tion, and tho work, he roughly esti? mated, would cost from $100.000 to SI 50,000. Grade Ahend of nulldtng. In addition to this. Mr. Lynch snld that It would prove a wise policy for the city to grade streets In advance of building operations In all the out? lying sections. Under the present sys? tem, where street improvements fol? low building, latRe sums are expended In payment of damages to property owners by reason of tho changes in grades, and much delay Is experienced in appraisement, condemnation or In securing releases before the work can be done. Mr. Lynch said that he would not have favored such a bond issue n year or two ago, when conditions were not ripe for it. but now that many of the sewers authorized by the former bond Issue uro nearing completion, the way ?Is opening for the completion of the street surfaces, and the opening to building of larger sections, thus mak? ing for cheaper rents, lowering the cost of living and muklng Richmond a more desirable centre for manufactur? ing and other enterprises, employing large numbers of operatives. A', pres? ent. It Is stated, such Industries aro turned away from Richmond by high rentals. The resolution provides that the money may be used for grading, grav? eling, curbing, roadbed paving and' otherwise improving tho streets of tho i city, ii was pointed out that tho Com. [ in it tee on Finance contemplates a gen I oral bond Issue In the near futuro to : take care of tho cost of the new Mayo Bridge and other outlays, and that there wns no demand more urgent than that of street Improvement.

A subcommittee reported to tho Street Committee that It had made an exhaustive study of the various de? posits of gravel around the city, nnd recommended the acceptance of' an offer of .lohn W. Trnylor to lake n spo eiiled amount of gravel from a pit in the East End for $4.000, the grave! to be. used within live years. For the West End the committee recommends a contract with tro Richmond. Fredor ?icksburg and Botomac Railroad Com? pany. The report was adopted, and a i resolution forwarded to the Council, . asking a special aproprintion of $10.000 : for the acquisition ot gravel pits for street Improvement. A building line was established on tho south line of. Grace Street, from Robinson to Mulberry Streets. Rids were oponcd for a large amount of street work and referred to tho City Engineer for award to the lowest responsible bidder. Including tho deep sewer In Broad Street, nnd a sewer in the Hermitage Road from Lclgli to Marshall Streets. Contractors Dllntory. Complaint was made that many contractors did not finish up work in the time specified, and that they did not clean away refuse nfter completing their work. Tho City Engineer was Instructed to notify in writing all con? tractors on city work that If tho streets were not put back In condition, and all refuse removed promptly on the completion of any work. It would be removed by the city at. the con? tractor's cost. Mr. Boiling reported j that many sewer contractors were far I behind time. Including work on some of the larger sewers, and that much excellent working weather had gone by with little or nothing done on some Jobs. He was instructed to notify such contractors that the city would expect them to live up to requirements as to time, or forfeit the work. After Assessor Ilnruinn. A resolution was adopted Instructing Assessor of Damages A. C. Harman to report tvhot he had done to earn his salary since his election. Many blocks which it is proposed to grade have been referred to him for appraisement, hut It was stated that no report had been received, though I some of them Jind been in Iiis hands J many months.' Mr. Lynch asserted j that the city was not gculng on as well under the assessor system as by the rplnn of condemnation, as com? paratively few streets and alleys have been graded In the past year, owing to the difficulty of adjusting damages i or securing releases from tho property j owners, appropriations for this pnr | pose having In some Instances revert j ed to tho treasury.
