TRACKS IN SOUTH WASHINGTON.

TRACKS IN SOUTH WASHINGTON.
What the Commissioners Say of the X Street
Plan.
Speaking of the suggestion made by the Com
missioners in their report on Senate bill 3z72,
that the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
change its route from Maryland and Virginia
avenues to X and Water streets south, Commits
sioner Douglass stated to STAR reporter today
that he not only thought it the best
possible solution OF the South WASH
ington railroad question, but he also
believed that the citizens Of that section
we're of the same opinion. 1t seemed to him
that it was the most economical arrangement
the road could make, and it was certainly the
best arrangement which could be made for
freeing Maryland and Virginia avenues Of the
tracks now on those thoroughfares. The
Commissioners had made the suggestion
after consultation with the people Of South
Washington, and with, he thought, their nearly
unanimous approval. 1t was merely . sug-
gestion, however, and as to the question
whether the tracks should be ele-
no expression had been made. That
matter could be determined when i, should be
settled that the suggestion Of the Commission
ers as to the use Of X and Water streets would
be adopted.
The location Of the passenger station at 9th
and B streets northwest was undeniably most
convenient one. said Commissioner Douglass.
and il was altogether improbable, he thought.
that Congress would agree to its removal.
Therefore he thought it best that the road
should use 9Th street north from southwest.
Naturally some of the resident property owners
ON that street objected to its occupancy
for such a purpose, but of course it was not
possible to meet the approval Of every one.
Should the plan be adopted it would probably
follow that wherever the use of 9Th or any other
street occasioned loss or Inconvenience just
compensation for such loss or inconvenience
might be required from the company by
Congress.
Capt. Rossell the Engineer Commissioner.
stated that his idea of the suggestion made by
the Commissioners was that it was more in the
nature of calling the attention of Congress
to the plan. The plan WIS not a
new one by any means, but it was,
he believed. good one, and one which gave
general satisfaction. 1t was really an illtima-
ton to Congress that in the event Of the re-
moval of the tracks from MARYLAND and Virginia
avenues it would be best to place than on X and
Water streets SIN other words" remarked
Capt Rossell, eff they are going to make an
island Of South Washington again, then make
1t as small rs possible"

A Letter Washington WROTE About TrOops
Sent to QoeIl Distarbance.
Nearly . hundred years ago Brig. Gen.
Daniel Morgan went with troops 10 western
Pennsylvanix to quiet disturbances among the
people in the immediate vicinity Of the present
site of the Carnegie steel works. Gen. Wash
ington then wrote letter to Gen. Morgan re-
ferring 10 the relations between the troops and
the people, which is well worth reading .t the
present time. The letter is a. follows:
To Msjor-General Daniel Morgan.
PHILADELPHIA, 9th March, 1875.
Dear Sir:
The interest which You have taken In the
safety Of John Mitchell, as expressed in your
letter Of the 18th Of January last, would be an
inducement to me to 60 as fsr, in relieving him,
ney general having made a report, OF which the
inclosed is y copy. 1 think it advisable to post
pone the further consideration until his trial
shall have taken place.
1t has afforded me great pleasure to learn that
the general conduct and character of the army
have been temperate and indulgent, and thai
your attention to the comfort Of the western in.
habitants have been well received by them. Still
1t may be proper constantly and strongly tC
impress upon the army that they are mere
agents of civil power; that, ont Of camp, they
have no other authority than other citizens
that Offenses against the laws are to be examined
not by amilitxry officers, but by magistrate
that they are not exempt from arrests and indict
ments for violations Of the laws; that officer
ought to be careful not to give orders which
may lead the agents into attractions Of law
that no compulsion be used toward the inhabi.
tants in the traffic carried on between them and
the army; that disputes be avoided a. much al
possible. and be adjusted as quickly as may be,
without urging them to an extreme. and thai
the whole county is not to be considered AZ
within the limits of the camp.
i do not communicate these things to you fol
any other purpose than that you may weigh
them and without referring to any instructions
from p1e, adopt the measures for accomplishing
the foregoing objects.
With great regard and esteem,
lam, dear
Sir, yr. obi servt,

THE LONG FRIDGE.
On July IA, 1891. the Baltimore and Potomac
Railroad Company submitted to the Secretary
of War plans for the reconstruction of the
Long bridge across the Washington channel.
These plans have been described in The STAR
The plans were approved July 20, 1891, and
the company at once begun work. no that by
the close of the year the bridge proper was
practically completed.
ever. a decided and serious settlement and
movement of the abutments were developed.
which were most marked in the southwest abut-
ment. which settled no less than eighteen
inches. while the down stream wing moved for
ward about four feet. This movement was, no
doubt due to the pressure of the earth filing
upon the thick stratum Of soft mud
underlying the river bed at this locality
and which extends to depth Of about seventy
four feet above low tide. In order to check the
movement the company have removed the
earth Immediately behind the abutments and
driven piles close together in the river bed in
the span opening.
II has been necessary TO support the g1rders
in front of the south abutment by trestles and

rebuild this abutment. The work cannot YET

As the Improvement progresses the necessity

necessary in a bridge built according to modern
plans and are in a direction oblique to the fow

by great quantities Of riprap stone, which ha.
been deposited around them from time to time
