STREET RAILWAY STATIONS.
The Locations Proposed by the Com
missioncrs for Them.

For several months past Capt. Powell the
engineer Commissioner. has been endeavor-
ing to perfect a system of union street rail-
way stations
These stations were to be so distributed
throughout the city that several street rail-
ways could use them without conflict. each
one bearing its proportionate share of the
cost. The primary object sought to be ac-
complished was the abandonment of corner
transfer stations and the substitution of a
well ventilated and hea ted PASSENGER sta
ton, which would be a protection to the
travelling public in bad weather.
The location Of the central station was de-
cided upon today. 1t is proposed to locate
the station on 3 street west of the Raiti-
more and Potomac railroad station SO ar
ranged that the 9Th street cable tracks pass
alongside of one end. All cars going west
on e street pass on the north of the station
while those going east pass on the south
side. East of the station and between the
main tracks a switch Is arranged for cars
which do not proceed further east. 1t is ex-
pected that all cars reaching the station
from the east will go further west and
therefore, do not require to lie switched at
the station. This structure as laid out is
50 by 10 feet in plan. 1t has sidewalk on
each side outside of the tracks. 1t Will be
built of brick, one story high Of neat ar
Chitectural design.
Three street railways now pass this point
Several proposed street railways whose
routes reach or pass this point, are now
pending in Congress. The location Of these
stations gives a passenger an opportunity to
reach any part of the city without annoy
ance.
The other proposed stations will be locat-
ed as follows:
One in Georgetown near 26th and NJ
streets; another at It'll and Florida avenue;
one at the intersection Of Maryland avenue,
H street and Bladensburg road; one near
the Pennsylvania avenue bridge over the
Eastern branch.
In the street railroad bills recommended
by the committee they have had ref
erence to the establishment of these sta
tions either in expressed terms or by fix
ing the terminus as approved by the Com
missioners.

THE DEACON RUINED.
He Went to New York and Returned
Poorer, but Wiser.

George Singerfield, a colored resident of
Augusta, Ga. has arrived home from a trip
to New York, and his explanation to his
WIG ana the members of the church OF
which he is deacon would no doubt make
an Interesting story. He had answered a
Sreeu-Soods" advertisement, and had gone
all the way to New York, where he thought
he would get small fortune for his money
$50, all he had to spare. He communicated,
he said. with u. w. Willis, rs West street.
New York." and met him in South Bethle-
hem. Pa. There Deacon Singerfeld went
through the usual operations. lie saw the
SsO put In the satcnel and the lock turned
Then he was driven in fine style to the
train, and the usual injunctions not to open
the satchel on the train for fear Of detec-
ton were given. In the hurry he was no,
given the key. Feeling certain that he had
his wealth in the "sawdust' satcheL he
started on his way rejoicing. He was on a
train that passed through here Wednesday
night, the train on which Detectives Horne
and Boyd went to Richmond for the al
legged murderers of Henry Brickner
The officers noticed that the colored man
seemed more than pleased about something
and ne walked from one end of the car To
the other smiling. Finally he walked to the
toilet room, still holding on to the satchel
with death-like grip. But when he came
out he was without the satchel and the
pleased look had turned into one of sorrow
and disappointment. He moaned, grunted
and then said, in a stage whisper. I'm
ruined. He was repeating this when De-
tective Horne, suspectinS the cause of
Deacon Singerfield's disappoin tment said:
Hello pap, have you been to New York -"
New York; he muttered as though Just
getting out of a trance. Yes, I've been
there and I'm ruined"
Then the deacon confessed that he had
been swindled to the tune of $500 and he
was talking about using his razor on his
throat the same as he had used it to open
the satchel
What Will say when get homer he
asked. And this seemed to bother him al
though he consoled himself with the sta te-
ment that he wouldn't have gone had II
not been for his wife. And what will I
tell the church people? But 1 was going
to give some Of the money to the church
to help 1t out Of debt"
This seemed to satisfy his conscience so
far as the church was concerned but still
he could not tell how he was going to re-
cover from the financial embarra ssnent in
which his loss would put him. His house
was recently destroyed by fire, SO he said
and all the money he had was $780, and he
knew ne would have to mortgage his house
Inc detective suggested to him that he
say he had been robbed. and that would
relieve him Of the trouble
passenger on the train gave the deacon
a drink from flask, and then made him
a present Of what was left in the bottle
lie was told that better men than himself
had been swindled In this way, and he con-
Guided that he would go on home instead
OF endeaVorins to have the thieves appre-
hended.

he has only been in business a few months.
the police have hsd three charges against

that on the Sunday charged Royd went out
and looked up and down the alley. Think
ing the coast all clear. he opened his gate
and let in a procession of white and coll
ored persons in search of "hummers." or

Among them was n colored woman, ana
she afterward told The police that she got

f1remen had considerable difficulty in pre-
venting the destruction Of a number of
houses. Two horses In the stable persisted
in the flames. and the house Of J. G. Tay-
lor, 1896 New Jersey avenue. was badly
scorched. Persons In the immediate v.cin-

DID NOT PENETRATE.
Yesterdays SuccessfuI Trial of Armor
Plate,

AS stated in yesterdays Star, the 3ethle-
hem eighteen-inch Harveyized arnor Mate
tested at Indian Head yesterday resisted
the attack upon 1t and met all the essential
requirements of the contract with the gov
eminent. Great resistance power was shown
by the plate. neither Of the two shots fired
at 1t penetrating more than twelve inches
The officials of the Bethlehem COMPANY say
that the test bears out their assertion that
the first plate subjected to the test suffered
from flaw as 1t came from the mills
After the second shot fired yesterday had
struck the plate and remained partially i'm
bedded there was q crack in the plate from
the top to the bottom half an inch wide.
The conditions under which the plate was
tested We're practically the same as on the
previous occasion, except that the powder
charge varied somewhat The shots were
fired from the twelve-inch gun used at the
last test. The plate was oblong in shape,
IL IL feet long and feet G inches wide
and Is inches thick for 1-2 feet from the
top, and then gradually tapered off for IL
feet to a width Of inches. 1t was placed
as1 feet from S1 the gun: CARPENTER projectlles
guns were charged with Dupont's prismatic
powder.
The first shot was fired at a striking We
iocity or LASS feet. with q powder charge Of
2i9 81 pounds. 1t struck the plate in the
left CENTER three feet from the top. A por
ton penetrated the metal six or eight
inches. the remainder being shattered in
pieces and scattered about the grounds. No
cracks were visible. The powder charge of
the second shot weighed 3g7 l-2 pounds ana
the velocity was 1929 feet. 1t struck the
plate somewhat above its true center and
penetrated about twelve inches. 1t also
cracked the plate in an irregular line from
top to bottom from the place where the shot
struck. Half the shot remained Undecided
In the plate and the remainder lay immedf-
ately in front While the officials of the
Bethlehem Company believe that large
plates can be Harveyized with profit VET
they insist that 1t is unfair to expect a
proportionately greater benefit because of
the size Of the plate as compared with those
Of lesser thickness.
