TRAFFIC BLOCKED
Extensive Oave-In Of the F Street Sewer
Construction.
Under the Tracks of the Metf0p0litnn
Road-Caascd by-Last Nights
Heavy Rain.

Traffic on the Metropolitan railroad, east
and west, was completely stopped between
and o'clock this morning by reason
of the caving in Of the immense sewer,
now being excavated OH F street ut point
almost directly in the center of 18th street.
Notwithstanding the careful manner in
which the sides of the excavation have
been timbered and the apparent security
thus afforded against caving, the terrific
rain of last night flooded the hole and
softened the earth to such an extent that
the timbers sunk down and many tons OF
earth on the north side OF the sewer slid
down to the bottom. A great hole was
made under the south tracks of the Net
ropolitan road, the entire conduit being
exposed and apparently hanging in mid
air for several feet. The tracks remained
in place, however, and q few Of the east
bound cars passed over the bridge thus
formed. but Capt. Beach of the District
engineer department ordered this to STOP
and a long line Of cars came to a stand
still from the west side of 18th to 14th,
and on the latter street nearly to New
York avenue. The gas mains and the big
water main were also exposed by the cav
ing and there was fear felt that the lat
ter would spring leak and add its volume
Of water to the damage already done, and
increase 1t incalculably. force Of work.

timbers under the pipes and adopting other
measures to prevent an increase Of danger.
The timbers, which had been forced down
into an apparently inextricable mass Of
confusion, being crossed and Tapped in a
variety of ways, prevented any substantial
number of men from working simultaneous
ly, and the work of repair progressed,
therefore, but slowly. The thousands of
esrly-going clerks and business men living
in Georgetown and the West End were
compelled to walk many squares through
the rain on account of the stoppage Of the
electric cars, and the same necessity con-
fronted those living along the east end Of
the line when the west-bound cars had all
gone to Georgetown. and were prevented
from returning by the barrier at 18th street.
Notwithstanding the heavy rain, crowds
OF people gathered at the scene of the cave
In and 1t became necessary to establish a
squad of police there to prevent interfer-
cnce with the work of repair and keep the
careless and foolhardy out of danger.
Before the break was discovered by the
railroad people several cars were run over
the place. their weight being borne by a
bridge. twenty-five feet long, consisting of
the conduit, which Is looked upon as an
evidence that the construction of the road
is of a substantial character. A relay sys-
tenn was established as soon as possible
and the passengers were transferred at
18th street to points east and west.

their course of training at the Lucy Webb

The proceedings had been announced by
the faculty as IAN evening with the kinder
garten." and that was what it proved to
be. AS many illustrations of Kindergarten
work and its results as could be crowded
into two hours were given with such tell
ing effect that the audience were quite de-
lighted with the whole affair."
In order that the public should be able to
form correct opinion of what Is being ac-
complished by the kindergarten. three
classes, two white and one colored. were
introduced, and the way in which the wee
ones went through their exercises was de-
1ghtful to the spectators.
Where the whole proceedings were inter-
esting it would be difficult to pick out any-
thing special. but it did appear as II the
"Chick-a-Dee Came and the Song of the
Cobbler" were best liked. The individual
singing and reciting were also remarkably
good, especially when it is considered that
SO many Of the little performers were al
most too small to stand or walk without
the helping hand Of the watchful teachers.
Illustrative examples Of the method CT
teaching were also given by the graduates
and the senior and Junior classes, after
which the certificates or diplomas were
presented by DR.. Ames, the president of
the institution. to the following ladies:
Mrs. Raymond. Miss Gregory. Miss George
Vance. Miss Margaret Platt. Miss Eta
Searle, Miss Marion X. Harries, Miss
Leonore Robinson, Miss Marian Morse.
The singing by Miss Wells and reciting
by Miss Newell gave pleasing variety to
the program The way in which the whole
proceedings passed OF must have been
most gratifying to Miss Ida Rogers, who
has the entire charge Of this department.
