THE HEARING POSTPONED.
The Proposed Bridge Across the Potion,
From Observatory Hill Objected To,

The Proposed Bridge Across the Potomac
From Observatory Hill Objected To.
There Is clash Of conflicting interests over
the bill now pending before the House COM
mittee on commerce to establish a bridge across
the Potomac from Observatory Hill. The Wash
ington, Alexandria and Mount Vernon Electric
Railway Company proposes to build the bridge
In order to run their express trains of electric
cars from this city to Mount Vernon. Their
proposition is indorsed by the citizens of Alex
andria and the dairymen and farmers of that
vicinity, who in the new route many ad-
vantages arising from rapid transit with Wash
ington.
The bridge scheme is opposed by merchants
OF Georgetown on the ground that it will i'm
pede the navigation of the river and add to the
dangers Of flood at times OF high water. As the
bridge Is to provide free wagon and foot pas
senger way it will also probably divert from
Georgetown considerable country travel that
now comes over The Aqueduct bridge, the new
structure providing shorter route. As the
country travel brings custom to Georgetown
stores there is righteous indignation against a
proposition to divert it.
TWO OPPOSING DELEGATIONS.
Two delegations appeared before the House
committee on commerce this morning in ref
erence to the bill.

costing the issuance of rule or regulation

generally the various cars will not stop for a
man to get aboard, although they will for a
woman The result is that IA man. knowing the
car will not generally stop for him. viii run
after il and Jump on. This is wrong, but it Is
no more the fault Of the people generally than
IL Is Of the car companies. who have encour-
aged il by not waiting when they see a man
running after a car. He saws that he has COM
planned to the presidents of the car companies
when the cars OF their lines would not stop for
him, but has never received any replies.

THE CENTER MARKET,
Ii Will BE Closed on Inauguration Day
From 10 am. to Pm

III VIII be closed on Inauguration Day
From 10 am. to pm.
Responding to the wishes of the dealers the
Washington Market Company has decided to
close the market on the day Of the Inauguration
between 10 am. and pm. In a letter to the
Commissioners today notifying them of their
action the superintendent of the market COM
pany says that it will be impossible to close the
market at an earlier hour and satisfactorily ac-
commodate the public He requests the Com
missioners to provide police to keep open a pas
sageway for the wagons of dealers across Penn
sylvania avenue at 7th and 9th streets and to
keep this passageway open and allow these
wagons to cross until the inaugural procession
has started. On previous occasions this matter
has been overlooked. On SATURDAYS he saws,
the greatest crowds attend the market and as
this is the first time the inauguration has fallen
on that day it will readily be seen that special
attention should be given to this matter on this
occasion

Music and Social.

Every one went home happy from the
Musical and Social, given under the
auspices OF the Ladies Aid Society, last
Saturday night. The programme was
opened by a recitation by Miss Josie
Wales followed by a vocal duet by Ada
Lamb and Zue Geery that was deserv-
ingly well received. A vocal solo by
Mrs. j. Jefferson and a duet by Alice
George and Claire Lewis were heartily
applauded. A vocal duet by the Misses
Whited and McNevin and a recitation
by Miss Lynn Smith closed the first part
OF the programm and during the inter
mission that followed the fruit and can
dy booths were literally patronized and
refreshment parlors were crowded by
the numbers to whom sandwiches and
hot coffee were served.
At the fortune telling booth each had
an opportunity to peep into his future
and from the smiling faces that came
out we judge that much happiness is in
store for those who made a csll on its
presiding spirit.
After an hour Of pleasant social inter-
course the second part OF the programme
was introduced by a vocal solo by Miss
Bessie Whited that heartily applauded
The audience was then favored by q du-
EFT by Miss Beulah George and Miss
Ada Lamb, and q solo by Capt. Wall
stab, who was induced 10 appear a
second time after a prolonged encore.
The programme wal closed by a song by
the Cymbal Quartette who gave a medley
as an ucore The remainder OF the
evening was passed In dancing and
conversation, and it was with reluctance
that each left the scene of one of the
pleasant event Of the season. Special
commentator is due Mrs. George for
her untiring efforts for the comfort and
pleasure of the guests.
