Texas. 81 haye been rather busy
since pay day. 1t takes all the
sober men in the company to take

paratively small, considering that

The ship owners will reap a good
thing out of Uncle Sam in taking
the Spanish soldiers home. Spain is
hot able opay the freight and our
country must either feed them or
give them passage home. We think
it would be a good thing if the gov
ernment would set a fair price for
ships to charge per capita for these
soldiers and let those ocean steam
ers who first come have a load anC
not let it out by bids. Since the
Santiago surrender, these Spanish
prisoners have eaten enough rationi
which cost more than enough tC
have paid their passage home. /.
it becomes necessary to make Other
shipments, we hope this plan will bt
followed out as the best and mos

Governor Dan Jones has appoint

to 90 to Chickamauga and investi-
gate the health conditions Of the
Arkansas troops at that place. If
those army surgeons are as ethical
as most doctors, they will give DR..
Kellar to understand that their
branch of the service needs no more
looking after than does those of the
quartermaster's department, or the
inspection department, Governor
Jones may be a wise man in some
things, but he is wading in deep
water when he sends a doctor to
the front, who does not carry with
him a United States appointment.
DR.. Keller is all right, and we have
not a word to say against the APP

he meets with more ethical obsta-
cles at Camp Thomas than he eyer

Charged With Serious Offense.

James Hannah, who dispenses strong
drink at a saloon, corner of 7th and +
streets southwest, caused CONSERVATION
among the colored men at work in David
Murphys livery stable, on Virginia avenue
southwest, early last night by dischargins
a revolver in their midst. Policeman Ban.
agan appeared upon the scene in time tC
prevent further trouble after one shot had
been fired and locked Hannah up on charges
of assault and carrying concealed weapons
Soon afterward bond in the sum of $500 was
given for his appearance.
The defendant was too sick to appear ir
court this morning and the case. had to be
postponed. Hannah, who, it is alleged, was
under the influence of liquor, called at the
stable and wanted 10 hire a team. Newman
Jordan, a colored man, who was in charge
of the stable, declined to hire him team
because of his alleged intoxicated condi-
ton. and he left the stable. Soon afterward
he returned, and when he found the col
ored man wanted, he discharged the weap-
On.
When taken to the station a blackjack
was also found on the defendant. The case
will be tried as soon the defendant is
able to appear.

FOR PUBLIC SAFETY.
LangdOn Tragedy Suggests Necessity
for Gates at Crossings.

The grade crossing tragedy at Langdon
the other night has served once again to
bring sharply into discussion the matter Of
providing guards at the suburban roads
where they cross tracks at grades. As has
been stated in The Star previously, there
are several of these dangerous places, and
public sentiment has always been strongly
in favor of the adoption of some means
whereby the menace to life and limb might
! be reduced. But it appears upon investi-
CATION that the District Commissioners are
seriously handicapped in their desire to Sc
cure this result. The difficulty arises from
the fact that many, in fact most, of the
roads across tracks at grades in the
suburbs are illegal crossings, never having
been condemned as streets, and hence the
Commissioners connot compel the railroad
companies to erect barriers, or, in fact, to
do anything to protect life.
Speaking to a Star reporter today of
crossings over the tracks of the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad. Mr.. w. p. Richards, as
| sistant engineer of the District, stated that
the only public crossing over the main
branch of the road between the District
line and Ivy City where the District has
right of way, is where the Queens Chapel
road crosses the railroad near LangdOn
There the railroad tracks are crossed by a
bridge. This is not the crossing where the
tragedy occurred. On the Metropolitan
branch the District has right of way for
crossings at the Bunker Hill, Bates, Riggs
and Blair roads. Where these roads
cross the railroad the crossings are pub
lie, the roads being there before the rail-
road was built
Not even in lexington, said Mr. Rich
ards, has the District a right of way across
the railroad, SO the railroad company con-
tends, and for that reason the company
has refused to put up gates at the street
crossings in that suburb, except at r
street, where a gate was erected as a re-
suit of the agitation of this matter a year
ago. On the main branch of the railroad
stated Mr.. Richards. in the Mills subdIvi-
sion, people have laid out streets which
cross the railroad tracks, but they have
never been recognized by the District
authorities to the extent of condemning a
right of way where these streets cross the
railroad tracks, and the railroad company
has refused to put up gates at such cross
ings.
The District has not condemned a right
of way across the railroad between the
District line and Ivy City for the reason
that it has not been believed that the popu-
lation of the section warranted more cross
ings, said Mr.. Richards, and the situation
is that all the country in the vicinity of
Langdon is shut off from the Bladensburg
road except by means of the Queens
Chapel road crossing.
