Railroad Encroachments.

Mr. Nathaniel Wilson followed. The
streets and avenues Of the city of Wash
ineton were not for the steam railroads.
They were for the use Of the people,
whether they ride in street cars, walk or
drive. The object Of the proposed regula-
ton was for the safety of the public. More
people went across the tracks of the B.
and P. railroad in the street cars than
were carried per day by the steam rail-
road If there should be three or four min
utes lost it would be Incompatible IN COM
parison TO the good that would result from
the proposed regulation.
The Pennsylvania railroad, he went on,
had so encroached on the public streets
and avenues that 1t believed that IT owned
the city and had the uEdisputed right to
use the streets. parkings and other public
spaces as it chose. 1t was the power that
gave these rights to others.
Where do you get your facts and evil
dence about that?" questioned Col TOtten
''Why. from the decisions of the Supreme
Court, where 1t was necessary to INSTRUCT
and it alone could say where the tracks
of the railroad should go. Then encroach
ments stopped
That's preposterous," said Col. Totten
Again, you have stated that this city Is
beginning to be the most dangerous in the
country to operate with steam railroads
And that is right. The reason is manifes.
They not required to take the proper
precautions WHICH prevent tnSm from
ring on a level and do away with those
death traps-grade crossings. They have
been a menace to our city for long time
'In other large cities such things are not
allowed. Take Philadelphia. New York or
Boston as an example. 1t would be per-
fectIy easy to make the road go above OR
below the street"
DO you want a regulation to make us
elevate our tracks ?" asked Col Totten.
mo, sir. That is not my purpose. But
if the Commissioners had the power. ]
and they would do it, 1 am certain 1t
would be wise, humane move, and every
body in the city would be glad but the
railroad people,"
The hearing closed with the promise of
the Commissioners to take the subject un-
der consideration, although 1t is under
stood the Commissioners will not Issue a
regulation compelling the steam railroad to
stop its cars.

TO STOP THE CARS
Hearing on a Proposed Steam Railroad
Regulation.
Railroad and the Metro
missiOners Hear Arguments.

At a special meeting OF the board OF
Commissioners, this morning the subject OF
Issuing a police regulation requiring the
Baltimore and Potomac Railroad Company
to bring all of it's trains to a full stop be-
fore crossing the tracks of the Metropolitan
railroad at Az street was taken up for con-
sideration. Col. Enoch Totten, counsel for
the Baltimore and Potomac Railroad Com
pany, and Superintendent w. N. Barnard,
d. N. Mckenzie, local superintendent, and
John Cassels of the railroad were present.
The Metropolitan railroads interests were
locked after by Nathaniel Wilson, attorney.
and President s. L. Phillips.
The secretary read the letter Of the presi-
dent of the Metropolitan railroad, In which
he set forth the reasons why the steam
railroad should come to full stop before
crossing the street railroad tracks. AS
heretofore stated in The Star. the reasons
advanced were that the electricity might
suddenly be shut off, leaving the cars on
the steam railroad tracks. and imperiling
the lives Of the passengers.
President Phillips of the Metropolitan
railroad stated the case of his company.
1t was no argument for the superintendent
of the Baltimore and Potomac Railroad
Company to say that the steam railroad
was there first and had the right Of way.
Congress had compelled the Metropolitan
railroad to change its motive power. 1t
would be no great delay to stop the steam
cars. Perhaps from one-half to one min
ute would be all the time lost. and The
steam railroad could very properly make
the stops.
Col Totten followed. He thought 1t would
be folly to stop sixty-six trains from three
to i've minutes to accommodate a car
which has. perhaps. three or four people.
In other words Inconvenience on an aver
age $50 passengers for a few without any
good reason. 1t was an apprehensfve con-
tingency.
The Metropolitan Railroad Company had
called attention to the contingencies that
might arise whereby that road would not
work. Well, If there were any faults In
the method or construction it was no fault
of the B. and P. r, r. If the Metropoli-
tan railroad chose to experiment with new
systems of motive power why. it would be
unreasonable to compel the B. and P. r. r.
to be party to it. If the system adopted
by the Metropolitan Railroad Company was
faulty and did not properly perform its
work it was the duty of the Commissioners
to make them take it out. If 1t was SO
that the cars might get stuck 1t might
be wise to employ couple of mules to help
them out.

CALIFORNIA FRUITS IN LONDON
Was in Much Better Condition Than the
Last Consignment.

London, Sept. 20.-There was additional
interest in fruit sales at Covent Garden
today owing to the fact that there were
two auction sales of California fruits
which arrived by the American line
steamship New York. One consignment
of 200 cases of pears were sold by Garcia
Jacobs d Co, and the other, 5000 cases OF
pears, grapes and plums, were sold by
White & Co. Both auctiOneers sold pears
packed by the Hemme Orchard Company.
ON these Garcia Jacobs q Co. realized lis
to 13s a case, White &, Co. lis to lbs. The
fruit was in much better condition than
the last consignment sold here Bartletts,
Williams and Flemish Beauty pears Sod
al IS to Us per case and the Hardy lis to
15s. Forty cases of Winter Nellis brought
5s against IS to los for the same variety
last year.
Dealers here said it is yet too early in
the season to ship this variety of pears,
Much attention was given to the extreme
fullness of the cases, which pleased the
buyers and enhanced prices. 1t was also
remarked where leaves had been left upon
the stem the fruit seemed more desirable.
Eight cases of black grapes sold for IS
per case. Black plums brought IS and
yellow plums Is a case. One hundred and
forty-eight cases of damaged pears
brought IS a case and q boxes Of dam
aged peaches IS Sd.
White & Co. disposed of nearly all the
peaches consigned to them at private
sales, half cases bringing Is Sd to Is Cd.
Although White q Co. advertised the
sale of California fruits for 10 d. m, they
first disposed of a lot of French pears.
While buyers were fresh those brought
IS Cd 70 los a case.

Olympia, Wash, Sept. 23.-The great dis
crepancies existing in the assessment OF
improvements on land, as equalized by the
county boards are such as to cause the
state board considerable trouble in reach
ing satisfactory adjustment. AS rule
there is considerable difference in value
between the eastern and western sections
of the state generally, but there are some
particular instances which show greater
divergence than others. For instance,
Adams countys board equalized improve
ments on a basis of SO cents an acre;

kiakum, $iS8i, and Kitsap, $56.58.
The county assessors having with few
exceptions failed to make a satisfactory
return the department has been compel
ed to resort to other methods to secure
data. Private citizens, managers Of in
dustral institutions, labor unions, ETC.
have been called on to volunteer such
information as they can furnish in lieu OF
that which the law provides should be
furnished by county assessors.

The Cost OF Living.

Although the cost of living has been
materially reduced in most articles of
necessity and wages are much higher
than they were thirty years ago the
majority of tie people are but little
better off financially. The reason is
to be found in the higher scale of liv-
ing which has to be met to retain any
social position. Thirty years ago men
in moderate circumstances thought
themselves we'll off with living rooms
furnished pluinly and simply, the
chambers with enameled bedsteads and
chairs and plain linen and plated sill
yer throughout. This is all changed
and the living rooms must copy as
closely as possible the nppurtenances
and belongings of wealthy families.
There is no enameled furniture for
sale and where rag carpets were for
merly thought good enough for or
dinary use there are Brussels carpets,
limitations of imported rugs and oil
sorts of useless bric-a-brac that runs
away with many hardly earned dol.

great deal more than they formerly

than he formerly did. All classes
travel more frequently and longer dis
tances than they were formerly &C
customed to. They have more clothes,
more food, more tinery, moro books

they do not save as much as they did.

Free Trade, Free Farms.

Efforts are being made in the direc-
tion of establishing free farms in Eng
land, the idea being to employ the
largely increasing number of paupers
in that free trade country to at least
raise food enough from the soil that
would pay for the cost of their own
maintenance. This is the result of tho
long experienced free trade in that
country. But here in the United
States we are reaching the same re-
suit much more quickly. 1t is less
than three years ago that the first
threat of free trade was assured us,
yet in the immediate vicinity of New
York the use of land has been given
for precisely the same purpose--to
support pauper labor in this country.
When tho Mckinley tariff was in full
force q few years ago we had no pau
per labor, but the result of tariff re-
form compels the free use of land, af-
ter being plowed free of cost, to en-
able those who are free from labor,
through our free trade tariff. Ito en-.
deavor to get food enough out of the
soil to keep themselves from starving.
