Strcet Railroads.
In many respects the past year has been
a notable one in the history Of the street
railroads of the city. The determined ef-
fort made to infiict the overhead trolley
nuisance on the city did not materialize in
any practical results, and the passage of
the Metropolitan bill excluding that sys
tenn from the list of available motive pow
ers represented the will of Congress as
well as the sentiments of the people in re-
gard to the use of the overhead trolley
within the city limits. The directors of
the Columbia railway not only decided to
edopt the cable system in place of horses
on that road, but pushed forward the work
with such rapidity that the close of the
year practically witnesses It's completion.
The most important legislation of the year
was the passage of the bill authorizing
the Metropolitan road to make change
in it's motive power. The directors of the
kcompany adopted an underground electric
system and have made arrangements for
the issue of bonds to secure the necessary
money, and the opening of the coming
spring the work of putting IN the new sys-
TEN on the 9th street line will be begin. In
consequence of the passage O. this bill the
suit pending for the forfeiture of the char
ter Of the road was dis missed, and the
question in regard to the payment of taxes
due to the DistrictSwaSaeft to be decided
by the Court of Appeais. An attempt to
reduce the wages OF tfse drivers and COIL
ductcrs on this road resulted in a strike,
and after an entire CESSATION of travel
from half-past IN thes afternoon Of one
day to the morning ofsfhe next the diff
Guilty was adjusted by conference be-
tween the president of the road and a
committee Of the employees, and the men
resumed work the next day. The bill pro-
posing to give the alexandria, Mount YER
non and Washington railway the right of
way ever portion of the reclaimed flats
was defeated by 1the opposition of the
board of trade and citizens, and the road
was given an entrance into the city via
the Long bridge. Two extensions Of the
lexington road were completed one from
the terminus at the head of 4th street
northeast to the Baltimore and Ohio tracks
at Brookland and the other along and D
streets northeast to 18th street, and via
1st and G streets and portion of the
Metropolitan tracks to the 9Th street de-
pot branch out North Capitol street
was also completed. Plans for giving city
connections to suburban roads were dis
cussed which led t0 the consideration of
the transfer system, union depot system
and the policy of granting further extern
sions of existing lines. The Columbia road
has asked for an extension of it's lines via
the Washington and Georgetown tracks
and west on G street, returning by F
street The Washington and Georgetown
asked for an extension cast and
north and south along 22d street. and east
by way Of F and G streets to junction

The City Post Office Building.
Comparatively little progress was made
during the year on the building that, when
completed. will be the home of the WASH
ington post office. The plans were changed
early In the year SO that above the sec
ond story the building is to be finished in
smooth-faced granite instead of rough
stone. Various delays occurred, so that
tie work was thrown back even beyond
the already diIstory stage which it had
reached. On the 1st Of October The Star
began q daily mention of the state Of the
work, including a count Of the men actu-
ally engaged upon the structure. An ef-
fort was made to reach by investigation
the conclusion was soon apparent that the
fault lies with the system in vogue in the
office of the supervising architect of the
treasury. On the reconvening of Congress
in December the subject Of the slow work
on the building became a matter of daily
comment by members Of both houses and
a letter was written to the Secretary of
the Treasury by the chairman of the ap-
preparations committee of the House ask
ing for certain facts In relation to the
building, which were supplied in a brief
manner few days later. The Secretary
estimated that the building would be fin
ished by July. 1891 which would be five
years and half after the work was be-
gun. 1t is a general expectation that this
matter will be actively Investigated by
Congress during the coming session.
New Postmaster for Washington.
On the 3Oth of October, President Cleve-
land appointed James p. Willett of this
city to be postmaster for Washington In
the place of Mr.. Sherwood, whose term Of
four years had already expired. The ap-
pointment was received with general ap-
prevail by the citizens. and Mr.. Wiilett has
given general satisfaction by his conduct
of the Office. Immediately after taking
charge he appointed Mr.. Harry Sherwood
the ex-postmaster. as his assistant. He
also appointed Messrs. VIM. A. Dove, VIM.
II. Fletcher and William A. Hutchns to
take charge of the substations on Capitol
Hill and in South Washington and George
town, respectively. The East Washington
Citizens Association criticised the ap-
pointment of Mr.. Dove on the ground
that he was not a resident of the
section to which he was appoint

Charities and PhilanthrOphy.
The financial panic of 1893 caused great
suffering In Washington among the poor
In the early part of the year 1884 Very
manv families were deprived of means of
subsistence and intense suffering prevailed.
A the ordinary means of reaching this
distress promised to be inadequate. the
organization of an immense charity COM
mittee was undertaken and successfully ac-
complished in January. BY means OF
thorough organization and hearty co-opera-
tion on all sides nearly $1,000 was collected
and judiciously expended by various means
for the relief of the poor. Many families
were supported in this way throughout tie
winter that otherwise would have been left
destitute. The conditions, OF course, bet
tered with the revival of building and some
other branches of business in the spring
and summer, but so far this winter, al
though there has been little cold weather
I'D to the present Storm there has been
evidence of quite as much distress, If not
more, than last year. Beyond The Evening
Star Santa Claus Club, by means of which
So $50 was raised, there has yet been no
organized effort to relieve the poor.
A considerable controversy arose during
the spring between the superintendent OF
charities and the board of children S
guardians as to the proper allotment of
funds appropriated in the District bill
Some feeling was evinced over this matter,
and debate in the Senate was made to APP
pear that the relations between the super
intendent and the board were seriously
strained. The superintendent contended
that the institutions for the care of or
phans and similar establishments should
be given the bulk Of the money, whereas

Bottom suit Toward the end of the year a
company was Incorporated for the purpose
of establishing new line between mere ana
Norfolk.
With the exception of the establishment
of the Washington Times, daily morning
rewspaper and of Progress" a weekly
naper devoted to business interests, there
have been no changes of special import
ance in the newspaper field in the District
during the year 1871 The year was mark
ed however, by the introduction of i'm
proved appliances in nearly all of the news
D;srer offices. The example set by The Star
in the use of type-setting machines has
been adopted during the year by the Post
and the News. The Star made several
important additions to its plant with
view to eXpediting it's service to the high
est point possible with the most approved
modern appliances, the chief of which were
four Potter presses made expressly for The
Star Their use has enabled The Star to
issue its large edition in q space of time
that was impossible under former condi-
tions with other presses. An interesting
feature of the year from news stand
point was the establishment of the "Bul-
letin," a tri-daiiy publication, which gives
an epitome of the news of the world with
special reference to events in the field of
sports.
On the 9th OF April Mr.. Frank Hatton,
editor and ore Of the proprietors of the
Washington Post was stricken with paral-
ysis. He fingered until the 3oth of May,
when he died.
Sports.
While the past year will not he remem-
bered as a particularly prominent one in
the matter Of local sports, still much took
place during the year of interest. The
| Washington Base Ball Club distinguished
itself by finishing the season in eleventh
place, a gain of one position in the league
race The Southern Lawn Tennis ASSocia-
ton tournament was held here, and John
Davidson won the District championships.
The Chevy Chase Hunt Club had several
runs in January last after live deer.
Bookmaking was declared Illegal in the
District, and several bills to lesalize it
| were introduced in Congress, all failing to
become laws. a number of so-called ath-
letic clubs conducted prize fights Under
| the gu;se of sparring matches. The Car
roll Institute team won the championship
! in the District Amateur, Bowling League.

Police Matters.
During the year the march OF the So
called Industrial army, led by Jacob $.
Coxey, threatened to disturb the peace OF
the city and cause trouble, but the crowd
of men who composed the army were han
died in such way that very little trouble
resulted, and the leaders were sent to Jail
for ofrenses against the laws OF the United
States Many members of the army we're
later arrested as tramps, but In the face OF
all this the good order OF the city was
maintained and the number OF arrests
during the year shows q gratifying decrease
in crime The arrests for the entire year
aggregated 24272, as against nearly 10000
during the preceding year. or these arrests
there were about 5000 for disorderly COLI
duct 5000 for drunkenness, and I,OOO Tor
other offenses No changes of Importance
among the higher officials have been made,
but an investigation conducted by Commits
sioner Truesdell resulted in the dismissal
of a number of officers, and the adoption OF
a rule which affects all officers who are IN
the habit Of indulging in strong drink in
public places. There were seven homicides
committed.
Policemen Easely and Law distinguished
themselves by the capture of the notorious
criminal known as Jack the Slasher, who
had terrorized the entire community for
several months, and he received a thirty
years sentence. Sergeant John e. Daley.
who is known as the lighting sergeant,
gained some notoriety in breaking up dives
in South Washington and in raiding John
Shea's Maryland avenue saloon, after the
latter's pardon by the President His raid
on the Fat Mems Beneficial Association,
which resulted in the dismissal Of several
police officers, will long be remembered by
members Of the force. A number of police
men have died this year, but not one has
been killed in the discharge of his duty.

DEAD EUREKA.

Senator Gregovich OF Eureka was
in Carson the other day and when
asked about the crop and mining con-
dition Of Eureka county, he said: IL
now looks as II every one would move
out bag and baggage. The mines are
not gold producers and as silver mines
are not worth working, IL is no use
talking mine. Even the rain has gone
back on us. We have had no rain
since early Spring and the consequence
is q light crop Of hay throughout
the county. Diamond Valley is cut
ting an exceedingly light CROP"
Senator Gregovich, II correctly re-
ported in the above paragraph, which
has been published in several news
papers in the western part OF the
State, has a misconception OF the
real state OF affairs in Eureka. Through
the extremely low price Of silver the
profits Of mining have been very
much reduced in the district; employ
ment for wages is very scarce, and
those who are leasing and tributing in
the mines are not doing very well as a
rule; but the Senator's assertion that
our mines are not gold producers shows
that he is not as well posted as he
ought TO be. Our mines are ali gold
producers to a greater or less extent,
some of them yielding three-fourths Of
their entire product in gold. The
average output Of the ore from the
district gives one-third Of its value in
gold, and the profits that have been
derived from our mines since the great
depression OF silver have been based
on the gold contents. Our products
have been classed in the records Of the
U. s. Geological Survey az "aurifer-
ous-argentiferous lead Ores" which
simply means that they are composed
of gold, silver and lead.
Dull times we have here as else
where, the Spring and Summer have
been cold and dry, and the hay crop
has been lighter than usual. There
are people who talk Of leaving if they
knew where TO go to find a better
place, but in spite Of the improvement
in trade reported by the great news
papers Of the country, they do not
know where TO 60.
