CAPITAL TRACTION COMPANY.

Question Raised Which May POSI-
Pone Introduction of Electric Service
1t has been long expected that cars would
be running by the underground system on
the 18th street line of the Capital Traction
road in the course Of the next five or six
days 1t is possible that this may still be
done, but there is some question raised as
to whether the service will be as satisfac-
tory as the one which is now furnished by
the horse cars
According to the present arrangement,
wires were to be laid from the tracks of
tie company in Georgetown down to the
power house of the Potomac Electric Light
ing Company and a current sent over the
1ced wires which are now in the duct be-
w cen the tracks of the line from George
Town 10 lath street. 1t was expected that
the current would be continued along New
York avenue and UP 14th street SO that
electric cars could be run on that line
1t is understood that all the wires have
been laid for this purpose with the ex-
ception of that section between the tracks
in Georgetown and the power house of the
electric company.
In the event that Ii is found that a suffi-
cient number of cars cannot be operated
On the 14th street line by the current fur
nshed in this way, it is probable that the
arrangement will decide to continue the
present horse car service, which goes as
far as L street.
The new power house of the company ii
is expected, will be ready for use in the
course of five or six weeks, and SO, II is
thought, in the event the horse car serv-
ice Is continued on 14th street it will only
be for a few weeks longer, and it is be-
lieved that this will be better than an un-
satisfactory service by the underground
system.
There is good oeal of complaint on the
part of the patrons of the line about the
inadequacy OF the present service on the
portion Of the line north of street,
which Is operated by the underground sys-
tem
1t is said ty the residents in that section
that one electric car at U street is expected
to take away passengers who reach that
point on three successive horse cars, and
the result is that people are obliged to wait
there long time, or else 10 hang on the
cars by their eyelids, SO to speak.
Passengers are brought TO the u street
junction not only by the 14th street cars,
but by the U street line. and the means OF
getting them farther north Is said to be
entirely inadequate
1t is possible. IL the company finds It nec-
essary to continue the present arrangement
Of q combination of horse cars and electric
cars. that a better schedule will be ar
ranged.
At meeting Of the directors of The COM
pany Saturday, Mr.. r. Ross Perry was
elected attorney for the road, in place of

EAR DANGER Line At MEMPHIS
Cincinnati Also Fearful of Rise at
Up-River Points.
WEATHER NOW FAVORABLE

BUFFALO. N. Y, January 24-A special
to the News from Niagara Falls says:
The Niagara river was in rage last
night, owing to the heavy western gale
which prevailed for twenty-four hours.
The water rose in the gorge about twenty
hve feet. 1t swept over the Maid of the
Mist docks and sheds and carried off
boats, boat houses, lumber and pulp wood
in large quantities. Contributary creeks
overfiowed their banks and added their
surplus to the mighty Niagara flood. The
scene looking or the American and Can
adian rapids above the falls was a Wild
one. Bath Island, Luna Island aaa part
of the Three Sisters were submerged, and
considerable damage was done to the state
property. The greatest damage was done
down the gorge, where sections OF the
gorge road were undermined and swept
away. The pulp mill of the Cliff Paper
Company was threatened, also the eiec-
trical power house of the Niagara Falls
Hydraulic Power Company.
Boats, boat houses and docks on the
lower river were swept away. Touawanda
creek overflow ed its banks and forced the
water down ;he Eric canal until IL over
flowed, causing considerable damage
Alarm Felt nt Memphis.
MEMPHIS, Tenn, January 2i. The Mis-
sissippi river at this point continues TO rise
at rate that is considered alarming by
river men IN general, and especially leFce
contractors, who have fled ponds to con
plete certain work III a given iIme. The
time named has almost expired, put ,,le
excessive rains, causing an unprecedented
ly high stage of watei for this season of
the year, has operated agains: levee work.
AS Il result tEere are several breaks in
the lower levees left frcm last years
spring floods, which, it seems, will be i'm
possible to remedy before the March and
April freshetS, unless there should inter-
vene thirty more days of clear weather.
Tie danger line at Memphis is 33 fee;.
This morning The gauge reads 10 feet,
with a continued rise predicted. P!anta-
ton owners in the Delta country are thor
cughly alarmed but there is no Immediate
danger TO life property.
Ohio Rising Rapidly.
CINCINNATI, Ohio, January 24-The
Ohio river has been stationary at % feet ::
inches for several hours, and hopes that
there may not be a disastrous flood are
strengthened by the continued clear, cold
weather throughout the Ohio valley But
Using waters are reported from all the up
river points The rise at Parkersburg. W
Va, III the past twenty y-four hours was
3.3 feet; at PoiatfPleasant, 80; at Ports
mouth, 3.6. This indicates another rise
here, but 1t is uncertain how much.
IL the present weather continues it may
not go hey ond the line where railroad traf
hc is interrupted, but if the weather fore
cast for tomorrow is fulfilled the condl-
tons Will be favorable for flood that will
cause great inconvenience and great loss to
manufacturers and business traffic.

GAINS THREE MORE VOTES
Judge kcJomas Now Has Forty-Eine on
Joint BALLOT.
Shaw Has Seventeen and the Vote
for German Fell on to
FGrty-TwO.
ANNAPOLIS, Nd, January 24.-The
ninth ballot for United States senator,
taken today at noon, resulted as follows:

An adjournment was had after one ballot,
until Il O'Clock tomorrow.
The opening of the second week of the
senatorial fight in Maryland found the situ-
alton the same as Saturday, with the
McComas men making the most confident
claims and the eleven as firmly united as
ever. 1t was again predicted that Nc
CoHas would gain seven and perhaps eight
votes whenever the managers of his cam
paign decided that it should be so, but no
announcement was made as to when this
would occur. Many thought the changes
would be made in todays balloting, but the
prevailing belief was that decisive &c
ton would be taken until after the caucus
which is booked for tonight, in which, it is
claimed. enough members will participate
to insure McComas' election. 1t had not
been definitely determined, however when
the JOINT session assembled at noon wheth-
CT II would be called or not.
After the ballot was completed, one of the
eleven made motion to adjourn which
was carried, the democrats voting with the
anti-McComas men. During the joint con-
Vention Delegates Vert and Wilkinson
made speeches clearly Indicating the pur-
pose OF the democrats to vote for some re-
PuDhcan other than Judge McComas for
cnitei states senator when the proper
tlme arrives. Senator Scott has issued a
can for a republican caucus and the final
struggle Is thought to be very close at
hand.
