The line in the inclosed tracing shows the line
of 7th street extended in strict conformity with
the same street in the city Of Washington and
the extent to which It'll street extended in Pet
worth differs from it.
FHrY-FooT STREETS
With reference to the ffty-foot streets in the
subdivisions Of the Moore tract, the Commits
sioners have to state that Thomas and Seston
streets, which are only fifty feet wide, are ex-
tensions of city streets of the same width and
correspond with streets in another (contiguous)
subdivision, also approved and recorded since
the passage of the law of 1888. Their accept
ance by the Commissioners was based on an
understanding that it was comfortable with
the practice Of their predecessors. At the date
OF the approval Of these subdivisions the bill
which makes the minimum width of new
streets ninety feet had not passed both houses
of Congress.
With respect to the Scheutzen Park subdi-
vision it will be noticed that this lies In the
section surrounded by the erroneous subdiyi-
I zion OF Petworth, by Brightwood avenue or 7th
street, which in direction corresponds to no
street or avenue in the city of Washington; by
the Soldiers Home, Howard University and
the reservoir, none of which can be modified or
changed by the Commissioners. The Commits
sioners. in view of this condition of affairs sp-
proved this subdivision, as it seemed to be ac-
commodaIed. SO far as possible, to the best ad-
vantage of the section and these surroundings
and was not inconsistent with their views Of
the law.
1t was their intention, if bill should be
passed. to establish a permanent system Of
highways, to prolong Michigan avenue, so a. to
| border on the Soldiers Home grounds, to the
Rock Creek Church road to obliterate Warder
street and replace it by north and south
street in the middle of the tract between
Brightwood avenue and the Soldiers Home, the
same to be ninety feet wide, and to make q
general north and south connection to the tract;
to build road along the northern boundary Of
the reservoir grounds extending, if possible. to
Brightwood avenue, making the same ninety
feet wide, and regarding the other streets run
ming east and west through this section Is minor
streets, making them al. sixty feet in width.
The subdivision Of Seheutzen Park was made to
conform to this idea. which the Commissioner
believed to be the best for the section.

The wigwam which has been built at Chicago
10 accommodate the democratic national con-
vention is the most commodious structure in
the western country. 1t will cover 10000
people and has been built especially for the
purpose for which it il to be used.
II has been constructed at cost of S23.5OO
and will be furnished at cost of $4,000. When
the national committee met to name place for
the convention Chicago was not an applicant for
the honor Chicago had all on its hands that it
cared to have for one season. But after other
cities had contended for the prize, and after
none had satisfied the committee that the ap-
plicants could take care of a convention, the
committee. of its own volitiOn. named Chicago
as the place, and. of course, Chicago could not
refuse In the course Of time the necessary
committees to prepare place met. Chicago's
section of that committee offered the Auditor
ium, but the majority Of the committee de-
INJURED. II was not big enough The eastern
end Of the committee wanted place that would
accommodate all who wanted to come. After a
good deal Of talk it was decided to build a wig
wan. Il fell upon the Chicago contingent to
see that this wigwam built, furnished and
paid for.
SIZE OF THE wIGwAM.
The wigwam is 500 feet long. $50 feet wide and
inside Is so feet high, the largest convention
hall ever built in the United States. It is con-
structed entirely of wood and iron, with or
namentAl features, although it is to be torn

Harper's Ferry Happenings.

From the Sentinel:
The baby of Mr.. and Mrs. Richard Scar
let of Bolivar took the second prize at
Morgan's Grove.
Mr.. William Manuel and Miss Carrie
Marlatt, both of Bolivar, were married in
Shepherdstown on Wednesday of last week.
Mr.. c. H. Trail, of this place, has been
appointed Deputy Sheriff, under Mr.. Da-
Wis, and will collect the taxes for 1892 in
Harpers Ferry District.
Mr.. Elmer E. Beachley, the thriving
young lumber man of Charles Town, has
contracted to build large dwelling for Mr..
George KoOnce at Halltown.
The B. & o. R. R. Engineering Corps, in
charge of Mr. C. Mex. Watts, of Pittsburg,
are again in our city, locating the Harper's
Ferry & Cherry Run Railroad.
The half dozen or more summer houses
in town here each had applications for ac-
commodation from probably three times as
many people as they could lodge.
Our venerable city lamplighter Mr.. Jesse
Graham, has, we are informed, closed a
contract with the John Brown Fort Com
pany, of Washington, requiring his pres
ence at the Worlds Fair in connection
with the exhibition of the old Fort build
ing. Mr.. Graham is one of the few (possi-
bly, the only one) surviving prisoners who
were confined in the Fort by Brown during
the instruction. The Company desires
his services for six months, and, it is said,
offered him $4,000, or $500 per month and
percentage of the receipts Mr. Graham
accepted the latter proposition.
The new B. & 0. bridge here will be 9!
feet higher than the old one The tunnel
will be about S75 feet long, 90 feet high
and 80 feet wide The bridge will enter
the town where the depot now stands and
the line will cross the end of Shenandoah
street to Potomac street and proceed south
of the county road to Island Park. The
company lultluS DulluluS ~ uuS SOHiiOui-
Gus depot About $50 hands are now at
work, day and night, and it is understood
that the contractors will shortly want about
700 hands. They are under bond to COM
plete the bridge and tunnel by March LIST,
1898.
Mr.. William E. Anderson, one of the old
est and best known citizens of this county,
died at his home in Bolivar on Thursday
afternoon. He had been an invalid from
paralysis for a long time. Prior to his i'll
ness he was very successful auctioneer
and was popular for miles around on ac-
count of his joyial disposition He was
kind husband and father and good citi-
zen. Some time before his death he con-
nected himself with the Lutheran church of
this place, whence his funeral takes place to-
day at 200 p. m. Mr.. Anderson at time of
his death, had been member of Virginia
