Kansas Soldiers Kicking About an AndersonvliIe
Guard

An ex-robel soldier by the name of Matthews.
who belonged to the 55th Ga, one of the regi.
ments which guarded the prison pen at An
ders0nville, is policeman at feavenworth.
Kan, and the veterans there arc doing all in
their power TO have him removed but as vet
have been unsuccessful. The accused man be-
longs TO the order of Knights of Pythias aud
has brought the influence Of that society to aid
Ia retaining him In Office, while the Veterans
are working as hard ~ they know how to have
him dismissed, upon the grounds :" that rs he
was rebel guard at Anders0nville over Union
prisoners, and is not in sympathy with loyal
men In the enforcement OF the law il renders
him unit to hold he,place, and is good reason
for his dismissal"
After the war Matthews joined the Regular
Army and was for some time u guard ut the
military prison at Fort Leavenworth, where
he remained for several years.
The Editor of The NATIONAL. TRIBUNE
knows something of bhe 55th Ga, having been
prisoner at AndersOnVille for many months
That regiment was part of the rebel garrison
at Cumberland Gap, Tenn, and large portion
of t was captured there. The men who were
not captured were detailed as guards at Ander-
| s0nville, and worse lot of men were never
| known. They would shoot prisoner on the
slightest provOcation, and were holy terrors -
and made a record in that direction not TO be
! envied. If this man was ono of them. the
| chances are that he tried to earn u furiough by

got too near the dead.line, which was the re.
ward for such service, and the loyal citizens OF

A DANGEROUS CROSSING.
Capt. ROsselI Approves the Plan of Mr.
Curtis for Remedy.

There is no crossing on the lines of either
the Baltimore and Potomac or Baltimore and
Ohio railroad that is more dangerous than that
known as Sheriff's crossing near Bennings
station. Recently Mr.. A. j. Curtis, IN letter
to the Commissioners, submitted proposition
made to the Baltimore and Potion &C railroad
company, and accepted by them, which has for
its object the discontinuance of the above
mentioned crossing and the opening of new
road, The matter was referred to Capt. Ros-
sell. who reported upon the case today as fol-
lows:
1.-The inclosed application from Mr.. Curtis
for the construction of a roadway parallel to
the Baltimore and Potomac railroad and the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad and extending
from the Anacostia road to the Sheriff road,
the railroad companies agreeing to build a
bridge over Watts run, provided such road is
open, is believed to be most excellent plan.
1T would avoid the present dangerous cross
ing of the railroad known as the crossing of
the Sheriff road. This road if laid out should
not be less than 80 feet in width. The COM
putting engineer estimates that to open said
road the purchase of the land at $3.50 per acre
and covering 1t with gravel, making 30-foot
roadway would cost "a 1856. 1t the land should
be donated the amount would be decreased by
S6s7 So making the cost approximately 81. 800.
Il think this work should be kept in mind
and when estimates are made for the next years
appropriation bill / would earnestly recon-
mend that this road be included in the esti-
mates aud that in the mean time property own
ers be requested to donate the land necessary
for the opening of this road

A GALLANT RESCUE
An Old Lady's Narrow Escape From
Death 10 Burning Building.

This morning at about 1880 o'clock IRE
broke out in the second story back room OF the
house occupied by Miss Cuibertson, No. ass
North Capitol street, and used by Congressman
Stone as an Office. The fire originated under .
desk in some unforeseen manner and spread
with alarmingly rapidity to the room above,
which was occupied by Miss CuIbert-
sons aged mother. A servant
discovered the fire and rushed
into the street and gave an alarm. Foreman
Henry OF truck company A heard her screams
ana rushed with his company to the scene.
"nen The hremen arrived they found the house
IN wild confusion, for Mrs. Culbertson vas in
one OF the burning rooms The fremen
hastened TO the room mentioned AZ the one
occupied by the old lady only to find
IL one mass OF flames With undnunted
courage Fremen Mulhall Breen and Raitz
rushed through the flames and searched the
rooms, but she WAS not there. The word was
passed that she was in the back room above
30 the three hremen, making they way through
the binding smoke, broke open the door of
the room above and found the old lady half
way out of the window in an unconscious
condltlon. SEEING her in their arms they
took her to place Of safety and then turned
their attention 10 the fire, winch was making

had been turned in and engine companies 6
and were on the spot, but there was no need
OF them, as the fire had been extinguished. The
room In which the fire originated was,
as above stated, occupied by Con-
gresham Stone as his Office. In il
were stored valuable books and papers. besides
trunks of valuable dresses belonging to Mira
Stone. Everything in tins room was lost The
damage is estimated at about $1,000, the
greater part of which is covered by insurance.
There seems little doubt il the fire depart

THE CANAL RECEIVERSHIP.
An Apparent Reason Why Judge Cox
Was First Applied to.

Special Dispatch to THE EVENING STAR
HAaERsrowN, Jan. 3l.-The bill fled in the
circuit court Of this county by the trustees Of
the mortgage bonds Of 1878. asking for the ap-
pointment Of q receiver for the Chesapeake
and Ohio canal came up today for hearing
before Chief Judge R H. Alvey. This applica-
ton was made by the same parties to the suit
in Judge Cox's court of the District of
Columbia, Messrs JohnsK. Cowen, Hugh Bond.
Bradley L. johnson and T. 7. Wallace. A
H. Keedy and ]. c. Lane appeared in support
OF the application, while Attorney General
VIM. Pinckney White appeared to resist the
appointment of receiver on the part Of the
state; John P. Poe, the canal company. and
Barnard & Carter for II. G. Davis Il Co. and
Hambleton & Co., bond holders. The latter
gentlemen all fled replies to the allegations
made in the bills fled by the
plaintiffs, denying the right to the
appointment Of . receiver, alleging no
breach of contract, and that failure Of the
canal company to meet its obligations arose
from q deficiency OF revenues, and that the APP
pointment of receiver would only augment
the Indebtedness and result to the disadvantage
of the parties interested. Lengthy and lively
arguments then ensued for and against
the appointment of receiver, and
were in progress at $50 pm, when
this dispatch was fled The general impression
here is that from Judge Alvey's decision an
appeal will lie, but that Judge Cox's decision is
final for which reason, it is alleged in certain
cities, Judge Cox was first applied to.
