wAsHINGToNIANs AT FOUR MILE RUN
The broken arches at Four Mile Run are said
to be examples Of most solid masonry, scarcely
less strong than the work upon the Aqueduct
piers, which once carried the canal across the
river at Georgetown. When, after the acci-
dent at Four Mile Run some years ago. the rail-
road authorities blew out the top of one of the
arches, it was heavy work with dynamite to do
so and some weeks were spent in getting the
top Of the east arch sufficiently open to allow
two trains to pass through abreast Now. when
1t is determined to clear the west arch and the
upper portion Of the wall away entirely. il is
most difficult work. A large number of hands
are engaged there, and all day Sunday the work
of cutting the walls and removing the debris
went on. The place is a favorite resort Of
Washingtonians, and several hundred were
there yesterday enjoying the day at the run and
watching the work.
