THE OLD JENNINGS BRIDGE.
Capt. Rossell Reports That 1t Should
be Replaced by New Structure of Iron.

THE STAR has from time to time referred to
letters and petitions from residents in the
neighborhood of Bennings, praying that sub
stantiai bridge be placed over the Eastern
Branch at that point as the old one was worn
and liable at any time to become i'm
passable. Several days ago Mr.. A.
j. Curtis and others submitted another
petition to the Commissioners and inciosed
Senate bill 2589, which authorizes the con-
struction OF a suitable bridge across the East
ern Branch at Bennings road. The matter
was referred to Capt. Rossell for his report
In passing upon the case he says:
THE old bridge across Bennings is one
of the earliest built in : the Dis
trict and was injured in the last food. can
not say that it is absolutely unsafe for travel.
but it may become 80 at any time. The cattle
yards on the east side of the bridge cause
crossing of this bridge by large droves of
cattle, and the Bennings road itself
one Of the most travelled
roads In the District. There is no
doubt in my mind that an iron bridge should
be built in place of the wooden structure now
in existence" He says that 100000 will be
sufficient to cover the cost of such q bridge.
The Commissioners have approved the recon-
mendation and will 80 notify Congress.

THE POST OFFICE SITE.
The Bill to be Again Considered by
the Senate Committee.

The bin which provided for the erection Of q
city post Office building at the southwest corner
Of Pennsylvania avenue and 9th street has been
recommitted by the Senate TO the committee
on public buildings and grounds. The bin had
been favorably reported TO the Senate.
Il won't say that we we're willfully deceived"
said Senator Vest to STAR reporter this after
noon, "but there was . great big missppre-
hension. We understood, and we we're
certainly so informed. that there was
ground space available amounting to
q, 900 square feet; ~ Q matter Of fact there is
only about II. 900 feet The Postmaster Gen.
eral told our committee that the site was I'M
suitable. and Postmaster Ross told us that
building on that ground would be of no earthly
use--the space on the ground floor would be
much less than in the present building. He
wants from %, 900 to 10000 feet on the lower
door."
Senator Morrill, said he did not know what
would be done in the way Of selecting another
site. The committee would. he believed. take
the matter up at once and endesvor If poss BILE
to ind suitable site at the earliest possible
moment.

A GRADE CROSSING ACCIDENT.
A Wagon Smashed by an Engine, But
the Driver Escapes Death.

The combination of surface tracks and a
frightened horse caused an accident today on
9th street just north of Maryland avenue,
which came near proving fatal to Charles
Johnson. a colored man in the employ OF
Barber 4 Ross, hardware dealers. He was
driving his employers horse and wagon. The
vehicle came out of an alley just north of Mary
land avenue and the animal became frightened
at the approach Of the Alexandria local engine,
which was on its way to the New jersey avenue
yard The animal reared for a moment and
then dashed across the street. The wagon
reached the track just in front Of the engine.
1t was struck bv the engine and tossed down
the track a distance of PROBABLY twenty or
thirty feet. The driver was thrown from the
vehicle a distance of nearly ten feet, but he
was not seriously hurt. The horse was badly
scratched.
The fragments of the demolished wagon
were thrown to the side of the street and the

THE BURTON RAILROAD BILL.
The Commissioners Favor IL, But Sug-
gcst Some Notifications.

The report received by the House District
committee from the Commissioners on the
Burton railroad bill approves the measure
generally and suggests q few amend
ments. The bill provides that the
guard gates, bridges and freight yards are to
be constructed under the supervisor of the
Commissioners. This the Commissioners want
changed to read ito be approved by the Com
missioners"
They also want the words ''under the SUPER
vision" to be stricken out of the clause refer
ing to the sinking of the tracks The bill pro-
vides for a depot OF such construction as may
be deemed advisable aud necessary. The re-
port amends by adding the words Ito be APP
proved by the Commissioners"
The section OF the bill relating TO the freight
facilities provides that the road shall construct
and maintain to the southwark of the
tracks and east Of Sd street west
of the road such yards and other equipments
as may be necessary for the transaction of
its freight business. The report proposes to
amend this by adding after the word road"
the words ''or any square or squares next south
Of the squares abuttine upon the line of said
road"
The report says: "with these notifications
the bill meets their approval"

TO SECURE KINCAID,s RELEASE.
An Application for Admission to Bail
on Account of His Feeble Condition.

A few minutes before IL o'clock this morning
Charles E. kincaid, indicted for murder in
killing ex-Representative w. p. Taulbee of
Kentucky. was brought into the Criminal Court
room, where it was understood that application
would be made to Chief Justice Bingham
for his admission to bail on account of his ill
health. He was accompanied by Senator Voor-
hees, Judge Wilson, Gen. Grosvenor and C.
Maurice Smith, his counsel, near whom he
took seat. The prisoner was very pale
Judge Hoge and his associates. Messrs. Lips
comb and Armes, appeared for the govern
ment.
Upon Judge Hoge asking that the prisoner
be arraigned Judge Wilson said they had no
objection If the understanding was that they
might, II advisable. withdraw the plea.
Judge Hoge agreed to this and the indict-
ment was read. During the reading the pris-
oner was allowed to remain seated and at the
close plead not guilty.
DIR. Smith stated that they were present to
ask the enlargement of the prisoner on bail for
the reason that confinemen mt in Jail will leopard
lze his health and life. He said he had the
ahdavlts of physicians sustaining the applica-
tlon, and proposed to read them to save tme
Two OF the physicians were present and il
necessary could be examined orally.
THE MEDICAL TESTIMONY.
As the district attorney preferred to ex-
anime orally the physicians present, DIR. Geo.
Byrd Harrison, who has been attending Kim
cald, testified substantially that Kincaid in
greatly debilitated condition and that long
imprisonment would result in sickness and
perhaps death. In his present condition, the
doctor said, he could not stand the strain of a
trial without jeopardy to his health and life.
His health required him to have pleasant sur
roundlngs and plenty of fresh air.
DIR. L. Morris Murray, who had treated Kim
cald in 1883. testified in confederation of DIR.
Harrlsons view OF the case.
Afhdayits of George w. Howell OF Norris
town, n j.. who was kincaids room-mate on
voyage to Europe last August as to Kincaids
illness on the trip, and of DIR. l.. S. McMurtry
of Louisville to Kincaid's weak physical con-
dition. were read.
There was no testimony offered by the gov
eminent, and Mr.. Smith read authorities as to
the court having the power to accept bail.
During the argument Senator Voorhees, with
drew. stating that he had expected to take part
III the argument, but was compelled to leave.
Mr.. Lipscomb opposed the motion and
Gen. Grosvenor spoke for 1t.
Judge Hoge, for the government, in his argu-
ment claimed that the authorities cited showed
that unless the prisoner contracted the disease
after he had been confined Eall would not be
taken.
Judge Wilson made the closing argument
The chief justice said he would give his con-
illusions on Monday morning at 10 o'clock.
