received the information from some one
who, from malicious motives, Is bent on
placing him In a false and ridiculous atti.

repeated statements that he is a banker,
and capitalist" have emanated from the
same source and apparently for the same
purpose. He says that he Is a member Of
the board of directors of the Capital Saw
lngs Bank, colored Institution, organized
Tor the purpose of developing the business
capabilities of his race, and that he Is in no
other way connected with it's MANAGEMENT.
He says that The Star reporter has been
misinformed generally regarding his pres

time have tended to hurt him in a position
from which he has not been dismissed and
winch he has not resigned.

This will not. however. be the case unless
the trial trip develops that everything Is in

to do SO.
The new road, with the Arlington branch,
comprises PIX miles Of track, and is divided
into the following sections: One mile in
Washington, one mile across Long bridge
one mile to Arlington junction, to Rosslyn
four miles; Arlington junction to Alex

SAFETY OF passengers. The whole line Is laid
with standard rails, and ballasted with
broken stone, such as is used on all the best
steam railroads in the United States. There
are double feed wires, double trolley wires,
