AN INDEPENDENT OPINION OF THE IMPROVE

AN INDEPENDENT OPINION OF THE IMPROVED
STREETS.
General Ii. V. BOynton, the impartial Wash
ington correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette,
writes to that paper as follows in reference to
the "marveil rs transformation in the streets
and avenues of this city: Congress will come
back to a city more beautiful than it has ever
been. The system of comprehensive improve
ments, OF which the country has heard so much,
is well advanced, and the result is that probably
no city in the Union has As many miles OF smooth
streets and wide new sidewalks as Washington.
At least t~O-thirds OF the entire city, from
Georgetown to the Capitol gate. and much of the
area on Capitol Hill has been newly paved with
either wood or asphaltum, and one III ly drive all
day long over streets and avenues as smooth a.
any floor. Eight or ten feet has been added to
the width of the sidewalks, and the streets re-
duced by the same amount, while through many
OF the widest ones, and most of the avenues,
parks sodded and planted with trees have been
made next to the house fronts, thus virtually
adding front yards to many miles of prop
erty. There Is no denying that the city,
III its streets, has been made worthy, per
haps more worthy, OF the capital than
any other American city. This il the result
As 70 the means by which it has been accom-
plshcd, that il quite another thing. Those who
do not pay the taxes which have partly sufficed
to work the marvellous TRANSFORMED ion can enjoy
It. The four millions which the citizens voted
10 raise for the work have already been eX-
hausted; and Congress will be asked for an ap-
prOpIiation to supply deficiencies and complete
the job. There is certainly portion of the ex-
pehse IL ought 10 assume, such as the paving
around its buildings and in front of its reserya
tons, and ii is a question whether, as a matter
OF public policy, 1t had better not insure the
finishing OF the improvements now SO nearly
completed. Even If all the complaints against
the management of the board of public works
were true-and many of them undoubtedly
are-there are still strong arguments in favor
Of the government extending liberal help in the
present emergency. The citizens have assumed
Iour Millions or rather the voting population
have assumed it for them, and there is a fair
share OF the expense which should properly and
Justly fall upon the national treasury. Whether
the board have done all things well belongs in
another chapter. Nv B."

A SENSATIONAL TRIAL-Emit Andre Called
Upon TO AnsUerf for the Shooting Of his Wife.-The
trial of Emil Andre, French man, for the muir.
der OF his wife, was begun yesterday in the
court OF general sessions, with Assistant District
Attorney Fellows for the people, and Charles
w. Brooks and others for the defence. Briefly
summarized, the facts are as follows On the
18th OF June last. the murdered woman was
seen to run through east 18th street from av-
enue a, holly pu sued by the prisoner. On
nearing first avenue the prisoner came up with
the pursued, and, clutching her by her dishev-
elled hair, deliberately drew a pistol, loaded
almost to the muzzle, and tired. The shot made
frghtful wound at the nape Of the neck, and
the woman fell to the earth dead. Her hus-
band then lOOsed his hold and slowly walked
b lex in the direction whence he had come until
h met a policeman, when he was arrested and
taken to the station house. The prisoner is of
short stature, and stOutly built His little son
and daughter sat near him during the trial. The
InterregatOries given by the defence indicated
that a plea of insanity would be entered.-N
