ROBBED WHILE AsLEEP.-Joseph t.
Engleby, president of the Fidelity Loan
and Trust Company, of Roanoke, was
robbed at Shenandoah junction Satur-
day morning while asleep on Pullman
sleeping car. He was en- route fromFrost-
burg, Md, his former home, to that city
and was awakened at the junction just
after the Washington Chattanooga yes
thule pulled in on the Norfolk and
Western tracks by some disturbance
around his berth. Seeing negro man
drop from the window he had raised to
get air, he looked out and saw the man
run of. Pursuit was made but the
thief made his escape. Mr.. Engleby
made hurried inventory of his losses
and found that his gold watch and chain,
cuff buttons, about twenty five dollars
in money and bonds to the value OF
about four thousand dollars had been
taken. The latter had been arranged
and secured at considerable expense,
and can be replaced in time. The negro
had been elected from the reception
room at Shenandoah five minutes be-
fore the train arrived, and had been
hanging around the place with two
companions for several days.

OBJECTIONS TO Use OF AQUEDUCT
BRIDGE.-In submitting an adverse
report on the Senate bill, providing for
the repair of the piers of the Aqueduct
bridge and for its use by street rail
way, the District of Columbia commits
sioners say that the bill provides for a
sort of partnership or joint ownership
with private parties, which they be-
lieve unwise. Regarding the PROPOSE
ton in the measure that the railroad
company repair the piers and change
the superstructure, and then be reim-
bursed out of the tolls for the cost, the
commissioners say they are not able to
indorse this proposition, as they con-
slider it subject to the same objections
as the arrangement contemplated in
the bill. Continuing, the commission
ers' report says:
Whether a track is laid on the bridge
or not, the unsafe piers should be re-
paired without delay. These piers
have been badly undermined and the
safety of the bridge is jeopardized there
by. The commissioners have urgently
recommended that the estimated
amount for the repair ofthe piers be APP
propriated and it is believed that this
Recommendation is under consideration
by the District subcommittee of the
Senate appropriation committee. The
estimated amount for necessary repairs
to the piers is Sol, 070. The commits
sioners are Of the opinion that the ex-
tension Of street railroads of Virginia,
terminating near the south end of the
Aqueduct bridge, to the Union passen-
ger station, near N and Thirty-sixth
street, in Georgetown, would afford
much convenience and accommodation to
the public. The only practical way of
such extension is over the Aqueduct
bridge. The tracks on the bridge and
On both approaches should belong to
the public, and its use be permitted to
any street railroad company chartered
under the laws of Virginia and termi-
mating at Rosslyn, Va. under regula-
tons adopted by the District commits
sioners, and for toll to be fixed by
them OF not less than cent per pas
senger carried in cars over the bridge
The report recommends an appropri-
alton of 200 for changing the
bridge superstructure so as to make it
suitable for the laying Of single rail
road track, which, for the present, is
considered sufficient.
