In a hit-or-miss style Congress gave heed to
some of the needs of the District and neglected
others. Thus, the Capitol building comes in for a
liberal appropriation TO continue work on the
approaches. The Washington monument gets
$4,000, and the Interior department building
$I66, 900. The Medical Museum is TO have q
new building. On the other hand the needs of
the library and the city post Office were ignored.
and those who wished a large appropriation 70
the Garfield hospital were disappointed.

friend of fire. Thus the cold February just
ended was notable for an unusual number of
destructive fires, the losses throughout the

a Narrowing Death.

It was stated last week that Robert
Lucado. a section hand had been drowned
near Buchanan il the recent washout on
the Shenandoah Valley r. r. His death
was attended by the most distressing cir
cumstances. The giving way OF the track
precipitated the construction train thirty
five feet down the bank and into the
river. The tender pitched forward against
the engine, imprisaning Lucado, who was
but slightly Injured. He was caught by
the foot. The river was rising rapidly
and every effort was made to get him
loose. He could have been released at
first by cutting off his foot, but that he
would Lot consent to, but as the water
began approaching his head he lmplored
the men to cut it off. but it could not then
be reached One Of the men Oh the train
stood faithfully 10y and held him up until
the water had entirely covered him and
life was extinct.
The dam, or falls, near which this sad
accident occurred. is associated with the
loss of fourteen lives during the great
freshet of 1877, when the ferryman at
Skidmore's Ferry, a mile and a half above
embarked his own family and one or two
others that we're with bim in the ferry
boat, and ell, the man, with several
women and their children, went rapidly
down and were swept oyer the dam and
lost. The ferryman was caught in tree.
Ais cries drew the neighbors and they
tried to save him but could not, and the
tree was soon uprooted -,
