To the Editor of The Evening Star
Whatever plans may be recommended by the
able chairman Of the Senate committee Of the
District to reduce the nuisance now caused by
the Pennsylvania railroad Baltimore and Po.o-
mace and Baltimore and Ohio railroad using
our streets grade we citizens and residents
should not forget that the result will be perma-
nent. Any mistake made now cannot be rene
died.
The question of crossing the Potomac is en-
tirely distinct and it would be better not to
touch ii at all now than allow it TO be brought
in as a sort Of compromise in connection with
the change Of grade and improvements Of cross
ings. Let me say at once confidently that IL
another railroad company or separate organi-
cation were prepared to build suitable bridge
on true engineering principles worthy Of the
situation and offering the minimum obstruction
to the stream nothing would be heard about
difficulties of foundation or construction. The
| Pennsylvania Company would be only toe
thankful to obtain in any way monopoly for
connecting with the south. They are bound to
| got this if they can and we should see that oul
| rights and privileges, as well the sanitary
| and proprietary interests which accompany
them. are fully protected in exchange for this
| grand monopoly.
| We call upon Senator Mcmillan and upon thu
public press Of the city to enforce these objects
| while the matter is still under consideration
otherwise Washington may become the grea
| thoroughfare at the expense Of its unrivalec
| advantages for residential aud educational pur
| poses. SYPHAx.

A Cobblestone Com plaint.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star
Please give me space enough for the insertion
Of this, my first complaint, after years Of tor
ture.
am glad to see the Secretary of the Interior
has called the attention of the Commissioners
to the dreadful noise Of the wagons on the cob
blestones in front Of the Interior Department
where the clerks are at work from 9 till only.
Perhaps the residents of 9th street northwest
between F and @, who live there 365 full DAYS
in every year. can succeed in having something
done to relieve them from the noise of the
wagons upon the cobblestone on this square
II the noise only continued between lam. and
pm. we would gladly submit to the passing
Of allfhe wagons, &c, in the world. But il
does the heavy mail wagons dash up and
downN breakneck speed all hours Of the NIGH
and early morn The property Is injured
more than i can tell by the vibrations caused by
the passing Of the heavy mail wagons over tLs
cobblestone.
This is the only square on 9th street north
west from boundary to Pennsylvania avenue
which is not concreted. Why il il?
We are taxpayers and think we are entitled
to some consideration viii the Commissioner
ask Congress to have our square concerted a
the same time the square in front Of the In
terror Department is being done?

The Dirty Streets.

To the Editor o. The Evening Star:
What is the matter with the street sweepers?
The streets in my section are fearfully dirty,
particularly the one on which live, which was
in the list published in your paper several
months ago to be swept daily, instead Of which
ii has tesn swept lately not over three times
in month. When swept SO seldom they are
never clean, as the dirt and filth becomes
packed on the asphalt and one sweeping does
not remove it. IL the contractors are paid for
daily service Why are they not required to fulhll
their contract? Whose business is II to see that
1t is done? SIXTH STREET NV.

SENDING Cur FLOWERS BY MAIL

SENDING Cur FLOWERS BY MAIL
1t is sometimes desirable to send cut
flowers by mail. and very few people
are aware that it can be done convent
emily, so as to preserve their bloom and
freshness. A light wooden box is neces-
sary Cardboard will not answer). Line
this with wadding, and place sheet of
tissue paper overit. Lay the flowers
in rows, side BY side, not on top ofeach
other, allowing the blossoms of each
row to rest on the stems on those ada
cent. Tack very closely, so that the
flowers may not be injured on the jour
ney. 1t is well for them to stand in
water for several hours before packing,
in order that they may imbibe sufficient
moisture to keep them from whitening.
They should not be sprinkled much af-
ter they are in the box, for, as they are
deprived of air, it may produce mildew.

A SHOCKING DEATH.-N1r. Archie
Hart, tenant on one Of Mrs. Pittman's
farms, in the county, about four miles
from town, left his home Wednesday
early in the day, for the purpose OF Wis
iting his turkey blind, taking his gun
with him. Not returning when expect
ed, his family became alarmed. and an
Intellectual search was made for him
Wednesday night. Early Thursday
morning Mr.. Clarence Rhoades joined
in the search, knowing about where
Mr.. Harris blind was placed. Upon
reaching the spot his lifeless body was
found Is or 30 steps from where the
bait was placed, one of the barrels of
his gun shattered and the hammer, lock
and ramrod missing. The dead mans
head was blown to pieces and death
must have been instantaneous. The
deceased was a working man and
leaves n wife and an adopted child.
We learn from Mr. Hudson, a broth
er-in-law of Mr.. Hart, that the position
of the body when found and the nature
of the wound would indicate that he
was shot from behind, the load coming
out about his mouth. Neither barrel of
the gun had burst, but one hammer
and the ramrod were missing. When
found the deceased was lying on his
back with his right hand behind and
under him. A coroner's jury was
summoned and the inquest was held
Yesterday afternoon. We were not adj
yised as to the verdict when We went to
