Opposition 20 the Tracks.

TO the Editor or The Etenfng Crlttc:
Glad TO hear that there is q determined OPP
position to any scheme looking to the deface-
ment OF Massachusetts avenue" The opposf.
tIon should be Endorsed by the Inhabitants OF
the entire city. 1 admit that MASSACHUSETTS
avenue is ''spacious" and 'grand," but not 80
spacious and grand as Virginia avenue, from
the Monument to the Eastern Branch, could
be made, sand Its beauty q subject or pride
and pleasure TO residents and VISITORS" but
from the fact that Congress and the city Com
missioners not only permit powerful yet
eoullesB railroad corporation to spoil It's
beauty by stesm-railroad tracks, but permit
dirty freight cars and cattle-trains TO monopo-
lie almost Its cntire length, producing o
stencil only experienced In the neighborhood
OF slaughter-houees.
If q mere s,cable etreet-ratlroad" will spoil
Maseach usetts avenue, what must be the con-
dition OF Virginia avenue, equally as spacious,
and can be made as grand, not only occupied
by nearly a dozen tracks but high fences,
bars and gates erected, and almost tho entire
noble avenue baricaded in a way that sur.
passes all acts OF vandalism known In ancient
or modern times.
England had its Cromwell, Paris Its COM
mupism, and Russia has its Nihilists, yet the
grievances which these people complained OF,
In many respects, were mild In comparison to
the grievances which the property-holder5 aud
tax-paying citizens OF South Washington ex-
perience by having their streets and avenues
completely ruined by railroad tracks, and the
value OF their property deprecated more than
one.half. Yours, truly, ID. t.,

Wedding Ceremony at the Church
of the EuinhnnY.s

of the Epiphany f:
The clouds which were lowering during the
morning by noon had cleared away, allowing
occasional glints OF the sun TO mud their way
through, most suspicious omen for the nup-
tails OF Miss Jessie Burgess and Mr.. william
J. Acker which were celebrated at halfpast
IL O'Clock at the Church Of the Epiphany. The
bride, who is among tho best known young
ladies In society In the city, has a multitude
OF friends who were present on the occasion to
testify TO their good wishes.
The groom, prominent member OF the Ma
tional Rifles, and a we'll known business man,
10 equally popular. The church was conse-
quently the scene OF q large gathering. The
bride was arrayed In tailor-made brown
broad-cloth traveling-dress, very stylish. The
ceremony was performed by Bishop-elect
Paret. As the bride stepped from the cnancel
on the conclusion OF the ceremony she was
presented with beautiful bouquet by Master
Jimmie Anderson, who ia strongly attached to
her.
The ushers were DR.. Acker, Messrs. Edwin
Joyce, L. Kemp, OF Baltimore; John Alcott,
Boone Pennebacker and Mexican Larner.
The bridal couple and their friends then re.
paired to the residence OF tho bride, No. 11O3
q street northwest, whore wedding break
fast was given. Mr.. and Mrs. Acker then left
on the train for the North, whore they Will
make trip for ehort time. The presents
were exquisite. The gift Of the groom's
mother was a suite OF elegantly furnished
apartments, where the new couple will re-
side.

What can be substituted for clover
when it fails through the operation of
insects} was the question for discus
sion at q recent meeting of the West
ern New York Farmers Club.
Mr. Rogers ventured the opinion
that it might be we'll to SOW mix
ture Of grasses with the clover so that
there would be a good seeding should
the clover fail He did not believe that
a}Sike will quite fill its place. Mr..
Reed sowed a field with alsike last
year and it made good growth. He
suggested that when the clover fails
Hungarian grass can be sowed in time
to make good the supply of winter
fodder.
Mr.. Quinby told of neighboring
farmer who had grown alsike two sea.
sons aud was very much pleased with
it, the yield being one ton and ; hall
per season. Mr.. Reynolds did not
think that alsike could be a complete
substitute for red clover; it lacked
the long tap-roots, and could not be
cut so many times in a season, but for
the main cutting it would probably
turn out of equal quality. A great
many farmers a year ago sowed alsike,
and so far as he had learned were
well pleased with the results.
The subject of Hungarian grass be
ing again alluded to- Mr. Quinby
recommended it to make good any de
ficiency. He said Where the sol
is fertile and well adapted to it, it will
make an enormous growth, yielding
i've to seven tons per acre. Stock
will eat it; when well cured, cattle
will eat it as well as any other hay.
But few farmers who have gives it q
fair trial have ever abandoned it. :
The president of the society had tried
Hungarian grass, and found it Of
great value.
Mr.. Reynolds in reply to a question
about the blue grass said Il have
cut the same piece nine or ten success
siye years, and the last year the yield
was equal to the best 1t does not
grow tall, but on favorable soil viii
grow very thick, with a mass of leaves,
and turn off heavy burden Does
best on heavy, moist, limestone
soil. Mr. Reed has seen a very thick
growth OF blse grass that would cut
a good crop, on fresh land.
