DANGER AT THE CROSSINGS.
The Il. and D. Company Think the
Streets Should BE Above Their Tracks

The Baltimore and Ohio railroad company,
through their attorneys, Messrs. Morris and
Hamilton, have written to the Commissioners
calling attention to the present method of
grading the streets IN lexington and other sub
divisions in the District and outside of the city
limits, which streets cross the tracks of the
Metropolitan branch of the company's tracks
These streets, the attorneys say are so graded
as to cross said tracks lat grade" method of
proceeding which subjects the public to all the
dangers and inconvenience of grade crossings
and the company to liability and the necessity
and expense OF maintaining gates and guards.
They say that they think both the public and
the company might be saved this Inconvenience
and expense by carrying the streets above the
tracks, and this could be accomplished very
easily, as in many cases the ground is con-
siderably above tho present level of the track.
They request that some plan be adopted as to
future street crossings which will bring to the
public and the company an immunity from tho
dangers of grade crossings.
The Fight for the Baltimore Post Office.
Only two delegations from Baltimore called
on the Postmaster General today to talk about
the appointment of a republican postmaster in
that city. This is n little higher average than
has been made recently, but it is expected
that when the Baltimore republicans
become really stirred up that Mr..
Wanamaker will be visited by some of their
representatives evere day and several times a
day. In order to convince Mr.. Wanamaker
that all the coiored people are not in favor Of
Mr.. Johnston, delegation, said to represent
the business coiored men of the city, called
today and told Mr.. Wanamaker that they
would like to see Mr.. Henderson in charge OF
tho Baltimore post Office. Then there was an
other delegation headed by Representative
Stockbridge. who called to advance the cause
Of Mr.. Creger. Mr.. Wanamaker counselled these
delegations he did their predecessors to try to
harmonize their conflicting interests and en-
deayor to agree upon some man who would be
generally acceptable. Gen. Felix Agnus also
had an interview with Mr.. Wanamaker, and it
is believed that his call was in the inter-
ests OF harmony among the republicans
in regard 20 the postmaster. The term of the
present incumbent will not expire until next
May. and It Is said that no appointment win be
mnde until that time.

safe where Silcott kept his money, were pro-
tected by a separate lock.
Silcott paid $40, 900 in notes at the National

Clay Silcott, the eldest son of the cashier

Only such work as could be performed re-
CARELESS OF the weather was done on the resur-
facing of Pennsylvania avenue today. Frequent
showers prevented any attempt at laying as

portion Of the big contract east Of It'll
street at $50 am. and in little more than
three hours had torn up more than half Of the
old concrete between 18th and 9th streets and
on the north side Of the avenue
The means employed was a steam roller and
heavy pillow, the former having the latter
hitched to it by heavy log chain. The COM
bination ripped the surface up as though the
tough stuff was SO much new cheese.
About thirty-fve men were at work in con-
nection with the blowing, six or seven Of them
doing their perspiring utmost to keep the pillow

Before night the entire square ON the north
side will have been ripped up. The blowing
process will be continued right up to LIST street.
The base will be laid. weather permitting, to-
morrow and Thursday, and on Friday the sur
face layers will commence
Those in charge of the work say that il will
undoubtedly be finished in time for the Templar
parade.
Fifteenth street on the east side is still a
streak Of base work bounded on one side by q
muddy sidewalk and On the other BY pictur-
esque array of barrels, but the laying OF con-
crete has been commenced. The west side is,
OF course, untouched. but it will probably be
