THE OLD BURNT BRIDGE.
A Committee Appointed 70 Urge It's
RestoFati0n-The Story OF the Bridge.


A meeting Of citizens interested in the project
which has been presented to Congress to restore
the old bridge which formerly spanned the
Eastern Branch, at the eastern terminus of
Pennsylvania avenue, was held last evening at
McCauley's hall, Capitol Hill. Dr. 8. A. II.
McKim presided. s. T. Suit, Dr. w. Lee Whitei
Thos. w. Smith, Geo. T. Jones, Weller and
other gentlemen were present. After brief in
terchange of views, the following gentlemen
were named as a committee to take charge of
the subject: DR.. 8. A. II. McKim, Geo. T. Jones,
8. T. Jones, Gov. Geo. 8. Boutwell,, John Z. Her
rell, Dr: W; Lee White, Sam'l Cross, VIM. Leh-
man, Mrs; E. E. Briggs, w. c. Dodge, j. ]. Jarboe,

McCauley. Edward Temple and Thos. w.
"The old bridge was burned In 1914" said
one OF the gentlemen present. SIT was burned
when the British sacked the city, not, however,
by the British, but by American soldiers, who
were commanded to burn it to prevent the
British crossing it,"
"That is what we are trying to find out" said
Col. Suit; "who burned the bridge. Now let me
tell the story of the bridge. When the British
entered the city portion Of the British army,
under Gen. Ross. came over that bridge. After
the city was sacked and the Capitol was burned
Gen. Ross made a speech, in which he said he
would eat his dinner in Baltimore the next day
OI eau III III SneOl. Two young men, wells ana
McComas, heard this remark, and, taking their
horses, rode down through Maryland to North
Point, and there waited. When the British
army came along they fired from behind tree
and killed Ross. The whole British army then
fired on them, and they were riddled through
and through, like the holes in n Sieve"
"a badly managed affair."" remarked one Of
the gentlemen present.
"But to go back to the BRIDGE" said Col. Suit
'when the British left the city, crossing the
bridge the second time, they burned it. know
there story that an American officer was sta
toned there with instructions to fire the bridge
when he saw the British coming, and that he
did burn it,
Tough we not to apply to the British govern
ment to rebuild the bridge?" asked an au-
ditor.
"Well, the trouble is" said Col. Suit, "that we
do not admit now that the British were ever
mere. That Is something we are not supposed to
know anything about"
The gentlemen who advocate the restoration
II the bridge urge that it will not only benefit
property in the eastern section of the city, but
be of great value and convenience both to resi-
dents of the city and adjacent portions of Mary
land.
The extension of Pennsylvania avenue, across
the bridge, connecting with the river road
there, will, 1t is claimed. provide most invit-
ing suburban drive. The present Navy Yard
bridge, which was built after the other was
burned, is, 1t is claimed, too narrow for the
travel which 1t has to accommodate,

THE OLD WELLS ON STREETs-Many Of the
old pumps remain still In use here serving as
general opposition to the destruction Of any
pump which is useful to the neighborhood In
which 1t Is situated. This ia, however, q very
different matter from the providing of proper
securities for the safety Of life and limb at old
wells whence the pumps have long ago been re-
moved. Such wells, covered with boards on
which earth has been placed and pavements
laid, exist on many thOroughfares, and an ex-
animation OF their condition cannot be made
too soon for the public safety.
To STAND ALONE.-The lot in the rear of the
Citizens National Bank, on which brick stable
stands, has been purchased by the bank. The
stable will be torn down and the grounds added
to the bank premises, which will thus have
open spaces on all sides. This will lessen the
chances Of q movement on the bank by burg
lars and diminish its fire risks.
