10 Ne Editor a The NdiioaaI Rspsblioaas
SIR: A writer In the star OF last evening pro-
tests, In the name Of many citizens OF South
Washington, against the constant ringing OF To-
comet i've bells Of the Baltimore and Potomac
railroad while passing along the streets OF the
city, and calls for some legislative enactment
which will abate the nuisance.
Being one among the many sufferers, rejoice
that at length voice has been raised against an
evil under which, II seems, we have heretofore
been too much paralyZed TO give utterance To
the indignant protest II deserves at our hands
II there were but single train passing COCA
slonaly, we might stand the inflotiOn; hut
when Il comes In the shape OF four or iiye loco
motives on the same block, each moving and
jangling heavy hell, differing In tone from all
Inc others, the din becomes truly ''iEfernai," as
the writer above alluded to has termed IL, and
submission TO II without protest II no longer q
virtue.
do not think, however, that the railroad COM
pany Ia to blame IN the matter. IbelieYe the
company has no desire to annoy the citizens fur
Their than Is absolutely necessary In running
their trains, but an old corporation law, passed
when the Washington and Alexandria railroad
was nrst built, and when there vas but an coca
siOnal train running required the bell OF the
locomotive TO be Tung whenever the train was In
melton. cannot believe that the Legislators at
that time contemplated the infection upon so
large a number OF their fellow-cltlzens OF 80 stu
pendous nuisance a. this bell ringing has be-
come, now that the Baltimore and Potomac Rail
road Company's locomotives are running and
ringing through the streets night aud day, not
excepting Sundays, at all hours. There surely Is
some way which may be opened by our Wise
legislators through which relief will come, aud
