GROUNDS AND PLAYERS.
Two Things That Are Being Considered by
the National Club.

the National Club.
The base ball managers of Washington have
rather suspended operations for the Christmas
season The efforts to secure grounds have
been laid aside for holiday matters. and there
are no particular signs of life in the projectors
Of the coming National Club. That is to be its
name, by the way, whatever may be its league
or association, for there is a superstition in the
minds of the stockholders that Washington
never did 80 well in base ball as when it's club
bore the name of National. Until the LIST Of
January all base ball matters will be dead, but
the advent of the new year will infuse
the lveest kind of life into ii all over the coun-
try. The cause of the republication will be the
great conference meeting to be held in New
York during the first week of 1891, when the
status of the Washington club, for one thing
will be fixed. Manager Trott is very wide
awake all the time. however. and is building up
large correspondence with some of the best
talent to be found. He thinks he will have no

that he will be only too glad to return to the

here, besides being as clever a third bascman
as ever guarded that territory for Washington
With Mack, Kinsiow, Donnelly and Hay as a
nucleus for a team the remainder ought to be
easy enough. -Four such men could almost
play the game alone.

Robert Gillian, negro, was shot and killed
on the street in Petersburg yesterday by Paul
Young. Gillian came here from North Caro-
lima to spend the holidays and got on a spree.
While on the street he staggered against Young,
who demonstrated with him. Gillian in reply
called him offensive names. whereupon Young
whipped out pistol and shot him in the mead,
killing him instantly. Young was arrested.
A shocking tragedy occurred at Danville yes
ter,iay. Edward Enoch, u railroad man, and
James Gravett. y carpenter, were in a saloon
and both under the influence Of liquor. They

Village tragedies are common enough in
France. but that which lately occurred in the

great energy by the peasant girls attending The
bride. when suddenly there was a haah Of fire

guests had hardly recovered from their terror
when another shot heard and the bride

A Naval Onicer Who IL Enthusiastic Over
the New Vessel.
Passed Assistant Engineer Harrie Webster,
who is soon to take station in the Navy De-
partment, returned to the city this morning
from Philadelphia. He is very enthusiastic on
the subject of the recent trial run Of the
cruiser Newark. on which he went as an assist
ant to the trial board. He says that she is the
smoothest vessel he was ever on and that in all
of her qualities she compares more than favor
ably with the Baltimore and the Philadelphia,
built by the same firm. He remarked upon
her wonderful evenness of performance, her
maximum number OF revolutions being l2S. but
two higher than the mean number. Her aver
age speed was about 1916 knots, while it is es-
timated that her highest speed was about 20. Is.
Her entire run, however, was done at about the
average speed Her horse power has not yet
been calculated accurately enough to deter
mine the precise amount Of the premiums
earned, but 1t Is estimated at about s85, 900.

Let Us Have More Competing Roads.

Let Us Have More Competing Roads.
To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
great and growing demand now exists for
additional outlets of communication by rail
with the outside world.
The Norfolk and Western railroad is asking
Of Congress authority to extend its lines into
the District. The Washington and Western
Railroad Company of Virginia has been char
tered to run from Front ROYAL on the Shenan-
dOah Valley railroad. through the beautiful and
rich counties of Fairfax and Loudoun to WASH
ington, and asks authority to enter the District
This company has recently. by consolidation
and purchase, become part of the Norfolk and
Western system, and all the advantages of that
system thus brought to our doors.
The citizens of Virginia along its route have
through petitions to Congress. asked for the
great benefits to come to them through this bill
The business men OF Georgetown, whose in
terestG are to be SO greatly enhanced by
cheaper freights and greater facilities for trans
pOrtatiOn to come from the construction of the
proposed extension Of that road, have urgently
pGtitivhhsi Scr the passage OF the bill authoriz-
III Easness petitions from members of the
Virginia legislature have been sent in praying
for the passage Of the bill.
Finally. the Commissioners of the District
have twice reported in favor of the passage of
the bill after public hearings of citizens upon
the merits of the measure.
Notwithstanding the unanimity of the senti-
ment that prevails among the citizens and Off
cials of this District in favor of the bill, we
learn that one of the great railroads now con-
trolling the rail communications in South
Washington is, through its friends in the Sem
ate and House, seeking to deprive GeorgeRown
and the northwestern section of the District of
this outlet to their business and is seeking to
compel the Norfolk and Western railroad to
find its entrance over the Long bridge, where
there is no accommodation for another railroad
and where an addition to those already there
would not only aggravate the unfortunate stu
alton 80 justly complained Of now. but would
prevent any independent or successful manage
ment Of the business OF that new line of rail-
road. Let the interests of the public alone
govern the action Of Congress in this matter.
There is room and business for all the roads
that will come into the District, and the pro-
posed extension of the Norfolk and Western
railroad into this District should be welcomed
and every inducement consistent with the
preservation Of the security and beauty of the
streets and reservations Of the city should be
held out to them to ensure the early construc-
ton Of their line. An OLD RRsIDENr,
