LONDON, Oct. 10.-The prospect of a compromise
on the franchise bill being reached between the
Conservatives and Liberals is improving. The pub
ication of an alleged government scheme tor the
redistribution of Parliamentary seats to correct the
disparity that now exists between the representa-
tion of the population in the counties and boroughs
has smoothed the way for settlement. The Mar

conferences at Gordon CASTLE the residence of the

difficulty with the Liberals.

How Ndtch Cases are Mace.

In buying . silver watch case great care
should be taken to secure one that is solid
silver throughout. The cap of most cheap
silver cases is made Of a composition known
as albata, which is q very poor substitute
for silver, Is it turns black in . short time.
The backs of such cases are made much
thinner than those of an all silver case,
being robbed in order to make the cap
thicker and get in IS much as possible of
the cheap metal. Another important point
inasilver case is the joints or hinges, which
should be made of gold. Those of most
cheap cases are made of silver, which is
not a suitable metal for that purpose. In
q brief period it warps, bends and spreads
apart, allowing the backs to become loose
upon the case and admitting the dust and
dirt that accumulate in the pocket. The
Keystone SilverWatch Cases are only made
with silver caps and gold joints.

Does Lightning Strike the Pinei

II has been often said by the so-c.lled
wise old .Sey Sos" in this locality that
the lightning neuer strikes . pine tree;
but the fact was very conclusively de-
monstrated to the contrary to-day at
this place-Mr. James Fenwick's. Mr..
Fenwick's place is the one adjoining
that of Admiral Lees. Just after one
O'Clock p. m, the storm passed directly
ove MI. F.'s house from the northeast,
and soon after a vivid fash of lightning
came, which struck two pine trees only
ten or twelve feet from his house. A
part of he electricity passed down the
trees into the grousd. tearing of great
strips of bark and cutting q groove into
the trees for some distance Just before
it passed Of into the ground. The rest
of it followed . wire clothes-line At
tached to one of the trees to the other
end Of the wire and then passed down q
cedar post to which the wire was at
tached into the ground. 1t split the
post the whole length and broke of
large pieces from it. It was a very
narrow escape for the house, for if the
cloud had discharged q moment sooner
it would certainly have hit the house
and perhaps have done a great deal of
damage. There are quite a number of
Washington people spending the sum-
mer here, and all who were at the house
were very much alarmed, and also the
animals. The horses in the stable neal
tried 10 break away and run, the flash

Free Bridge!

To the Editor OF TIE EVENING STAR.
confess to no small surprise at seeing what
"Lawyers say" in your edition of yesterday, anent
the free bridge The act Of 1881 is the law Of the
land, and so stands on the statute book. This act
provided for free bridge across the Potomac, and
diversity OF opinion as to whether the Aqueduct
bridge or the Three Sisters would prove the more
eligible slte and In the above act there was ncOr-
porated provision which invested the Secretary Of
War with the power, If he saw fit, to purchase the
Aqueduct bridge, but limiting him to an outlay Of
$4,000
1t Is familiar history that the Secretary leaned
towards the AGueduct bridge as being the better
location for n free bridge: and so impressed. he
opened negotiations with the Alexandria and AGue-
duct bridge companies respectively the lessons and
ieSsees, for the purpose OF e1ecting the purchase
he bridge company was willing to sell but the
Alexandria company was not, or would not.
Things remained In this shape for some time,
nope being enters aimed that the difficulties between
the two companies might be healed, but the Secre-
tary finally became impatient and determined to
advertise for bids for bridge TO be built at the
81 hree Sisters" 1t was developed that such q
bridge as contemplated by the act could not be
constructed for $4,000, so the project aban-
doned until the following Congress, when an In
crease OF appropriation Was asked for. Up to this
time there has been no additional legislation. |
cannot conceive what time has to do with the pre-
sent of1er or in what sense the two companies are
In better shape to take advantage OF the govern
ment nO,r than they were In 1881. 1t Is entirely
Within the power OF the Secretary OF War, long
as the law Is what 1t is to declare the bridge free
provided 1t Shall be found that the deeds furnished
and signed by both companies are In such shape
10 Invest the government with perfect and complete
title There is no power that can stay the hand of
the secretary, no power that can rub that law Off
the statute book save Congress- and to-day. or ten
years, or fifty years hence. If that law be not re-
peaet II IS Ct ;arly within the province OF the
fetary OF War to close negotiations with the afore-
said companies and declare the bridge free.
