WHERE THE WATER CAN GET THROUGH.
nearer the tracks the company would not have
n.ty feet OF public parking on which to place
switches and sidings TO accompany the extra
tracks they desire TO Law down. Had the pro-
posed highway been located more than fifty
feet to the west the company would have to
bridge the outlet Putting the proposed high
way fifty fee. west of the tracks
allows good deal of space for
car storage and shifting and at
the same time gives the company a solid
bridge across the stream without the crossing
costing the company a nickel. The preamble
before quoted might impress some one TO the
effect that the comfort OF the pedestrian or
driver was the main motive In the BILL but II
must be evident that if one track
endangers the lives of travellers on the
present highway four tracks and freight
yard would hardly improve the situation

quently tina: II became force of habit with
him to throw ont the suggestion whenever the
topic of the bridge was preached.
The present bill Is in a strong degree part
OF the history OF this matter, as ii bears certain
relations to the ultimate project of rebuilding
the Long bridge that should be thoroughly un-
derstood. A little less than two years ago, that
Is to say, in March. 1890, a resolution was
passed IN the Senate requesting the Secretary
OF war to investigate, In connection with the
Potomac flats Improvement. the desirability of
separating the wagon road from the railroad on
the north side of the main channel of the river
and to furnish an estimate of the cost of the
same.
co., HAMS REPORT.
In pursuance Of this resolution the Secretary
ordered Col Hams to make report upon the
subject, and the document was submitted
to the Senate on the 5th of the following
month. The STAR quoted extensively from
this report and reproduced illustrations from
it in June of that year. The project that
Col. Hams submitted for consideration pro-
vided for what he has since termed an elevated
railroad across the flats for the of the
steam road traffic, and the building of high
way on the surface of the flats for the accom-
mediation of the foot and vehicle traffic. There
we're two alternative plans suggested for the
elevated structure. the object of which was to
afford an uninterrupted line for the railways
as well as to relieve the park that is ultimately
to be established on the fats of the dangerous
presence upon its surface OF constantly used
railroad tracks.
The present bridge, being at an angle to the
course of the stream, instead of perpendicular
to it, affords an unusual amount of resistance
to the flow of the current. Every inch of need
less pressure space has it's disastrous effect in
the spring, when the water and the ice are
rushing seward. The proposed bridge would

This. however. may not be regarded with SUI
preme satisfaction by the hundreds of people
Who make daily use of the roadway.
The bridge itself Is gradually becoming less
stable. and hat the company realizes this con
dition Is evident Tons of stone have been
dumped in and around the main channel TO
give the structure temporary security. The
piers rest on piles. and but for the many boat
loads Of stone which have been thrown around
the pier feet the bridge would have been
washed away long rso.
RAILROAD EScRoAcH,rESIs
For years there has been decided antago-
nisn between the railroads and the United
States engineers who have had charge OF the
improvements in the Potomac river near Wash

chief Of engineers are full of references to thi,

PROPOSED ROAD OVER TEE orrrrr


In effect the Barbour bill would achieve but
small part of the project of Col Hams.
namely, the separation Of the two kinds OF
traffic. while it would defeat the object for
which that jealous and able officer worked SO
hard during the period of his duties here-the
removal CT the Long bridge and its replace
ment by structure presenting none of the
many objections TO the present causeway and
low bridge across the river. To look at the
question IN negative way, the passage of the
act would be disastrous IN that there would be
absolutely no gain toward a solution of the
problem OF how to regulate the railroad occu-
patton of the flats.
II has been pointed out by COL Hams that
the recent repairs" at the Washington chan
mel have no restrictive bearing upon his orig
maj PROJECT, and this much, perhaps. is graft
lying, yet the building of that small bridge
alone Is by no means all that should be done.
mat Is SIMPLY start, and, if followed up by
us continuation across the flats according to
the plans proposed. start in what would seem
to be the right direction. The separation of
the highway from the railroad as provided in
the pending measure, would retain the existing
nuisance OF railroad crossing the flats upon
an oDsIrucung bank OF earth, preventing free
communication between the sections of the i'm
provement and causing untold ANNOYANCE to
passers upon the highway below by bad drain
age and other faults. 1t would retain the OBJ
| structions In the main channel, from which the
greatest danger OF freshets is to be feared. 1t
would threaten the existence Of the works
themselves and possibly add an element Of
danger to life upon the trains that constantly
pass across the structure.
Indeed, such legislation would in effect be O
sad blow to the pr aspect of ever getting new
| bridge across the Potomac until some more
than usually high flood shall have swept the ex-
listing bridge away like a bundle Of straws.
Whatever Inconvenience may be caused by
such disaster 1t will nevertheless be gladly vel
coined by the citizens OF Washington as a real
blessing, In view of the long course Of dilatory
legislation upon the subject, that has not only
postponed but rendered doubly difficult the
hnal solution OF what has proved to be one If
the most serious pr oblems Of the growth Of the
capital

the fact Is that . great many young women

the cries that followed, was the valor OF
General Pulaski. now a part Of the
records of American history, who, when
the King of France sent fleet to CO.
operate with the Americans, to retake
Savannah from the British, fell on the
very spot where to-day stands the Cen
trail Railroad Passenger Depot. Hard
by, too, fell Jasper, who had on other
occasions displayed his courage in the
cause of the colonists. There is a
story told of Jasper, with which very
few are familiar. His gallant exploit,
in rescuing some American prisoners,
from British guard, at spring about
two miles from Savannah, where the
party had stopped to partake of refresh
ments, compares favorably with his re-
placement of the flag at Fort Moultrie
on a sponge staff, after it had been shot
away by the British, in the face OF
CALLING fire from the enemy.
Hearing that a number of American
prisoners were to be brought from Eben-
ezer (the settlement above alluded to
twenty miles west of Savannah , to that
city for trial, Jasper determined to run
the gauntlet of chances for their release.
With man named Norton, as his COM
panion, he awaited the arrival Of the
party at the spring, about thirty yards
from the main road. The escort con-
sisted of sergeant, corporal and eight
men, the prisoners being in irons. Only
two men remained with the prisoners,
the others leaning their guns against

Whittier ~ tbeLttle Girl.

A correspondent tells this story OF
the poet Whittier's success in aiding
a little girl at a school examination.
The aged poet one winter renewed
his youth in handsome oyercoat OF
the purest ulster pattern, clad in
which he attended school examin-
alton up among the hills SO dear to
him. He stood beside the teacher
while she catechised a dimpled dot in
geography.
"What are the provinces of Ire
land?" asked the teacher.
Potatoes, whisky. aldermen, pa
triotism-" began the child.
mo, no., interrupted the teacher,
provinces, not products. +"
"Oh," said the little girl. 'Con-
naught, Leinster, Munster, and"
She stuck her chubby fingers in her
her rosebud mouth and sought in
spiration excessively in her toes, the
corner of her apron, the ceiling, and
the poet. All children loved the
Quaker poets kindly face. He
smiled; her face frightened sympa-
thetically. He patted his ulster sig
nificantly; she looked up at him in
quiringly. He nodded, and she burst
out with:
ooh. Miss Simmons, / know now.
They are Connaught, Leinster, Nun
Ster. and-and Overcoat!"

A Wife Worth Having.

A good story is told Of man some
where in Maine. He one day told his
wife that he would give her all the
silver pieces she found in his wallet
which were coined the year she was
born. AS a result the lady in due
course of time had quite an amount
of silver money on hand-so much SO.
n fact. that she won't to the bank
and deposited it in her name. Then
speaking to the cashier the lady said:
"My husband tells me you are going
to pay him some money to-day.
Won't you please pay him in this
money | have just deposited? / shall
be much obliged if you will"
OF course the cashier, being noted
tor his courtesy to the ladies, quickly
replied that he should be happy to
please her.
AS result the lady had still more
birthday money.
