UNION LIrERARr SocIErY.-By a notice in
this afternoons Star, IL will be seen that there
is to be a meeting, tonight, of some of the
former members; their object being to resusci-
tate that institution ...
For many years the society afforded rich in.
tsllectual treats to our citizens; some of the
best minds In Washington contributing to that
feast. Auditors could not fail TO be interested
and enlightened by the eloquence and argu-
ment of the disputants and, therefore, it is
with pleasure we announce that an effort will
now be made to re-establish the society on a
solid basis.
We believe that there is as much, if not
more, intellectual treasure in Washington now
as in the time past; and we respectfully sug-
gest to those who are ambitious to improve
themselves in the art of orstory that fine OPP
portunity Is offered by the Union Literary So
ciety.
TIE LoNe BRIDGE Several persons have
been fined for fast driving over the Long Bridge
since We announced the determination of the
Commissioner of the Public Buildings to cause
the corporation ordinance making it obliga-
tory on those crossing the bridge no. to go faster
than in a walk. The result Of the enforcement
Of the law will be to decrease the cost of keep
ing the work in repair perhaps one half; and
in that way saving many thousands of dollars
to the treasury, which otherwise would be
charged most unnecessarily against the aggre-
gate account Of the District Of Columbia.
