THB NEW ABBlTOIR.
Indications Are That 1t VIII Not be E'-
fabIiahed.


tablished.
The recent movement on the part OF the
butchers to establish an abattoir near
Chestnut Hill on the Chesapeake and
Ohia railway, appears to have been prac-
tically abandoned.
When the movement was first agitated
there was great opposition 10 II on the
part OF the property holders or Cntslhul
Hin and vicinity, on the ground thal lu
would damage the property Valuation
there.
The butchers secured an option on a
piece Of property in the neighborhood
referred 10, and IL was thought Tor some
time that the abattoir would be estao-
lished. SO far as could be learned noth-
ing Is now being done by way of carry
ing the scheme through.
II has been argued by some that the
present plan Of butchering cattle IS not
only wasteful. but altogether inc0nVen-
lent and disagreeable 10 the public. IL IS
claimed that by the plan OF the various
butchers having their private pens, nun
dreds OF cattle, sheep. and hogs have 10
be driven through the streets or the Guy
from the several depots, and tfls Is dlto-
gether undesirable and unsigntlF. Some
times herds Of cattle are driven through
the streets on Sunday. and often several
sheep or hogs are overdriven or hurt, and
die before reaching the pens.
Frequently they are mercilessly beaten
by the negro drivers.
10 IS also argued that Il costs from 81
20 $.60 20 drive the herds from the de-
pots 20 the pens, and this is heavy eX-
pense on tho butchers and the farmers.
The abattOir system was Intended 70
avoid these difficulties, and TO remove
the impraCticable features or the present
plan. BY the proposed new scheme 10
was intended that the cattle he hauled
10 the place for butchering 1irectly by
the railroads. This would save the eX-
pcnse Of driving the cattle through the
streets and would abolish the pres ant
system OF sometimes overcTOwding the
streets and blocking them up with large
herds. on their way 10 the Slanghter-pens.
II was claimed that by The abattOir sys-
tenn a great deal OF material could be
saved and used for fertilizer purposes
whereas II Is now wasted outright and
that by the liberal supply OF water avail
able az the site proposed, cleanliness
would be an easy matter
SO far as can be learned. the movement
has been practically dropped. and it is
claimed that the reason FOR this Is that
the butchers are satisfied with their pres
ent private pens, and they are in hopes
that the Richmond. Fredericksburg and
Potomac railroad will establish q line
from a point near Acca station down Ba-
cons Quarter Branch 10 lower Seven
teenth street, so as 10 connect the r., r.
and F. and the Chesapeake and Ohio lines.
Several surveys have been made down
the Branch by the r., J.. and =. railroad,
and IT IS expected that steps viii be taken
10 establish the line above named either
alongside OF the Branch or over it.
Meantime citizens or the nOrtheidn are
doing hard work 20 prevent the ost7h-
lishment OF the abattoir near their prop
erty. A meeting OF the Northside ClU-
zens' Association IS expected 20 be held
soon. so as 90 take action against any

hedged about by its own barriers through
which no man. be he white or black. may
violently break. The government can no
more remove these barriers and force OBJ
jectionable persons into the sacred pre-
cincts OF the social circle than It can
force the doors Of the private homes OF
the land and tell the unbidden to enter.
No self-respecting man will attempt to
enter any social circle where he is not
welcome. and the mere fact that a man
would force his way in is the BEST evil
dence that he is unfit.

not avowed Populists. were more in sym

Democratic party. Moreover the Pro-

Colonel O'Ferrall polled nearly 1000 votes,
