CITY IMPROV EKENTS.


NEW HOTEL ON THE AVENUE.
certain class Of Westinghouse are greatly
averse to reading descriptions of local improve
meDts, because they are peculiarly tenacious Of
ancient landmarks, and because they are not SUIT
tciently progressive to look upon modern i'm
proyements as anything better than innovations
Fortunately, much larger class of citizsns are
Wiling TO give up antiquities for the sake Of
general improvements. The former are grieVed
and the latter relGiced at such changes as are
going on Gtthe southeast corner of PennsYlyanIa
avenue and Fifteenth street. This property
lOngoEned by Mr.. Randall. has been several
times under negotiation, for the purpose Of build
ing q hotel and theatre combined but the
schemes all having failed the owner has now
taken the matter in his own hand, and is erecting
Randall's hotel.
The building is 90 feet front on Pennsylvania
avenue and ITO feet Fifteenth street. and is six
stories in height. including basement The base
ment will be finished Tor restaurant and will be
larger and more cOmmOdious than any like estab-
liEhment now in the city. Back of this in the
extreme south end uf the basement, Will be the
Kitchen for the hotel. An elevator will commu-
nicate from the lowest TO the highest story of the
building. This basement though wholly below
the street, is surrounded with wide area which
gives ample light and air.
TIE main story is to have three large stores
fronting on the Avenue, and also the principal
entrance 10 the hotel, and side entrance on FIf-
teenth street. In the second story will be the
parlOrs, reading rooms &c, looking out upon the
Avenue, and the dining hall will occupy the whole
Of the Eilteenth-siTeet front OF that story Above
this will be the private rooms and guest-cham-
beers the whole to be finished as o irst-class
hotel.
The structure is of red brick, trimmed with
granite, with Seneca stone steps, and substant faI
iron dOor-caps and windOH-beads. Mr.. Harkness
Is the architect, and James g. Naylor constructor
and builder. The work is going on rapidly The
building lie to be completed about the first of
July, and to cost IN the neighborhOOd Of SO 900.

Dr. Ira A Thayer, OF Baconsburg, Ohio, writes:
II regard your pellets as the best remedy for the
conditions for which you prescribe them Of any
thing have ever used so mild and certain in
effect, and leaving the bowels in an excellent
condition. 1t seems to me they must take the
place of all other csthartic pills and medicines"

and will spOh the pill trade, as those that have
used them like them much better than large

RICHMOND, VA, Jan. THE Supreme Court
Of Appeals to-day rendered decision in the case

vOlving the constitGtionality Of the merchants

the law unconstitutional. The Supreme Court
in its decision reverses the judgment OF the court

RAIIROIAD ACCIDENT.
FA1A COLLISION ON THE BALTI-
HIekE AND POTOMAO ROAD.

TWO LIVES THE COST OF NEGLIGENCE
AID CARELEssNEss OF AswITH-TENDER
THE POSTAL AND EXPRESS CARS DE-
sTRoYED Ely FIRR-MEAGRE PARTICU-
LARS,
This morning We are called upon to chronicle
another railroad collision, occasoned by misman-
agement on the part Of sWitch-tenders, which
clearly shows that railroad companies should be
most particular in selecting men for these I'm
PoTtant positions. The accident to which We re-
fer might have been worse, yet 1t was bad enough,
and reflects sadly On those 10 whom the blame
will attach.
Asnear as the facts could be obtained, It ap-
pears that at 9.sS eNcSeck the switch at Rennings
was left open, and the Midland freight train,
bound South, owing 70 the sboye neglect on the
part of the switch-tender, went on the track
which connects With the Baltimore and Ohio and
Baltimore and Potomac railroads. On which was
the New York and Atlantic passenger train,
bound North, and before the engines could be re-
versed the two trains came together, and were
thrown from the track and mingled in one in6is-
crimnGRe mass, complete wreck. The IRE hom
the engines was communicated TO the postal and
express cars, which, with their contents, were
totally destroyed.
Tie clerk of the postal car is supposed to have
perish ed in the flames, no trace OF him could
be found up to q late hour. last night. One man
whose name was not ascertained, who was steal
ing his way on the train, was badly injured about
the body and will probably die. No ether cases
of injury were reported. The New York train
was in chsrgeof Conductor Hsmbright and En-
giDesr Trueman. To neither Of these gentlemen
ia the least blame attached, nor to the conductor
nor engineer of the Midland train. As soon as
the news of the accident reached this city the
superintendent Of the Baltimore and Potomac
railroad was notified, and at once sent wreckers
to the scene, and everything was done to aid
those who were detained by the accident. The
light from the burning cars could be seen from
all parts of the city and was the cause of the
alarm sounded from box4
LATER.
At 2:3o o. N. a train, with Superintendent Du-
Barry, arrived at the Baltimore and Potomac
depot from the scene of the disaster, bringing
the body of the postal clerk, Mr.. ThOs Fayman,
whose parents reside at No. 7l3 Rhode Island
avenue, in this city, and the injured man, who
was removed to Providence hospital. The re-
mains Of Mr.. Fayman, which are burned to crisp,
nothing but the trunk remaining, were placed in
a cofhn and put in the baggsge-room OF the depot
and the coroner was notified.
The only thing saved from the burning cars
was the express box, which was SO much injured
by the fire that the money inside was destroyed.
Every effort was made TO save Mr.. Fayman,
but the flames gathered SO fast around the cars
that his friends were obliged to leave him to his
fate.
Great blame is attached to the switch man, who,
it is said, stood near by and saw the collision.

sCHENCK's PULMoNIC SYRUP, SEA WEED TOT
AND MANDRAKE PILLS.

These deservedly celebrated and popular medi-
cines have effected revolution in the healing
art, and proved the fallacy of several maxims
which have for many years obstructed the pro-
gress Of medical science. The false superstition
that consumption is incurable" deferred physl-
clans from attempting to find remedies for that
disease, and patients afflicted with It reconciled
themselves to death without making an effort to
escape from q doom which they supposed to be
unavoidable. 1t is now proved, however, that
consumption can be cured, and that 1t has been
cured in n very great number of cases (some Of
them apparently desperate Ones) by Schenck's
PulmOnic Syrup alone, and in other cases by the
same medicine in connection with Schenck's Sea
Weed Tonic and Mandrake Pills, one or both, &C
cordinR to the requirements Of the case.
Dr.Schenek himself who enjoyed uninterrupted
good health for more than forty years, was sup
posed at time to be ut the very gate OF death,
his physicians having pronounced his case hope
less and abandoned him to his fate. He was cured
by the aforesaid medicines and since his recovery
many thousands similarly affected have used DR..
Schenck's preparations with the same remarkable
success.
Full directions accompany each, making 1t not
absolutely necessary to personally see DR..
Schenck unless patients wish their lungs exam
ined and for this purpose he is Professionally at
his principal office, corner Sixth and Arch
streets, Philadelphia, every Monday, where all
letters for advice must be addressed. Schenck's
medicines are sold by all druggists.
