POWERFUL pILING

Necessary for the Big Power-House,
Owing to Quiclsand.
People who pass along the Avenue may
have noticed pile-drivcr in operation on
the block recently secured and cleared by
the Washington and Georgetown Street
Railway Company. A crowd of people
collected ON the ground to-day and
watched a gang OF laborers at work strip
ping pine logs. A young man, who APP
peared to be directing the work, said that
the logs were intended for piles, and his
purpose was to sledge them into the soft
ground, when they were properly pre-
pared.
II has been discovered since the build
ings were removed from the square Of
ground that the company will have to do
good bit of piling before they can secure
n suitable foundation for their big power
house.
All the ground on the east and south
side of the square rests on quicksand, and
the tide-water from the Potomac seeps
through 1t almost as readily as it would
through n sponge.
Yesterday morning log thirty feet in
length was driven bodily down into the
quick soil, and the pile-driver did not ap.
pear to be doing half the work it was
built to do.
The cost of this piling is going to be
cOnsuefaDle. a uOuDle row OF loSS VIII
he driven into the earth throughout the
length of the western and southern lines
Of the square and on these cement will be
laid before the foundation of the building
proper is laid The north and west lines
of the square rest on iirmer soil and no
trouble will be experienced on these
fronts in digging foundation.
Because Of this weakness in the south
and east fronts of the square the heavy
machinery used in drawing the cables Of
the road will be located in the west quar-
ter of the building and nearer to the
Avenue front than was originally de-
signed
The young man who is overseeing the
work of pile-driving ventured the opinion
that pine log stripped and driven would
last as long as a thousand years. After
that period" he went on to say, some
of them may have to be drawn and new
ones put IN their places, but ] presume
won't be here to boss the job

An Anacostia Apothccary Marries
Quickly and Then Deserts Ills wife.
Some time ago man named Il. f.
Roche moved into Anacostio, opened
drug store, and built mp a very fine trade.
lie was q widower with two daughters
and a son, One day he remarked Qsome
friends that no sane man would 80
through life without helpmeet, and he
added.
"l am sick and tired Of this thing. I'm
going of tins very day and get me
wife"
Like the late lamcnted McGinty he put
on his best suit of clothes and went OIL
hCaTt-huntng by some means unknown
10 his friends he met fair widow in
this town to whom he coniided his love
and asked for her hand. There was no
time, he said, to wait, The thing must
be done at once. He was business man
and cuuldn' afford to stand on ceremony.
I'm vain did the widow plead for time.
Roche was inexorable and declared
over and over again that he didn't believe
i'm long Courtships He was too practical
man for that. lie was so persistent and
so eloquent that the widow could not or
else did not want to refuse HIM, and so
accepted him on the spot, on condition,
however, that he should take care OF her
TWO Cnllulcns .
"Why, fetch them along TO Anacostia,
said he land we will have happy
family"
That afternoon the marriage took place,
and before the sun sunk in the western
skies Roche and the widow were made
one.
For some time happiness appeared to
reign in the Roche household. One morn
ing not long ago Roche announced to his
wife that he had sold out his store to Mr..
w. w. Fisher, but said he would remain
in Anacosta and probably engage in other
business. But he didn't.
A few days ago, in the absence of Mrs.
Roche, he packed up his goods and chattels
and with his children came over to this
city. Mrs. Roche secured detective, who
has finally located the truant husband in
Chicago. Mrs. Roche is now on her way
to the city by the lake. She declared be-
fore leaving that she was "bound to get
even, - and she do doubt meant exactly
what she said.

FOUR CURIOUS PLANTS.
Natures Hoax, Motber-in-Law, Lovers
Own md Scntch ATTORNEY.

Natures Hoax, MOther-in-Law, Lovers
own and Scotch Attorney.
In the United States Botanical Gardens
are four curious plants, called Natures
Hoax the "Mother-in-law Plant the
Lovers Plant" and the scotch Attor-
ney."
NATURES HOAX.
Natures Hoaxn grows wild in Aus
traian forests. The seed lodge about five
feet from the ground i'm decayed trees
and the plant puts out leaves in the shape
of heads Of deer and elk. Many hunter
has been fooled by the plant.
THE 'MoTrR-tN-LAw.'
The mother-in-law plant, or "Dumb
Cane, is really the Dcd0i6dcbia WguiHa
pictd. IN auctioneer being unable 10 rat
tie off the botanical term, called il the
queer qualities. The regularity Of the
plant is this, that If man takes q bite Of
It his power OF speech is taken away and
his tongue is apt to be paralyZed for a
week. Humboldts artiCulating muscles
were paraly2ed eight days by this plant.
THE LOVERS PLANT.
A specimen Of the 8lnaos rUlica Is
called the Lovers plant, because, II a girl
be really in love, this plant will curl uf
at her touch if not, not.
TUE scoTcH ATTORNEY.
Superintendent Smith of the Gardens
has facetiously termed creeper the
Scotch Attorney" The latter is credited
with engaging himself in Il case and alb
sorbing everything Of value in il befor,
quitting it; and that's what the plan
does.

by McGeaChy made six runs,
II was an easy victory for the Athletics.
Pitcher Chamberlain was very effective,
and the Senators only succeeded in get
ting three hits from him. Kcefe, the
Washington pitcher, was for time very
puzzling to the Quakers. In the seventh
he weakened little, however, and four
hits were made.
The single run of the Washingtons was
made in the fourth inning. Hines was
given n base on balls, then McQuery
made a single which put Hines to third.
Milligan threw down to second in such a
way that neither lIallman nor Corcorau
