Railway Companies Negligence.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
May l trespass on your space to place a
few interrogations to that excellently well
managed railroad system known as the Bal
timore and Ohio syndicate? What rights
have regular schedule trains on their lines?
gross mismanagement,a and why should its
daily patrons be made to suffer nconven-
fences in order to please a lot of eXcur-
sionists? The reason of these queries is
that | left Frederick, Md, on the regular
scheduled train at 6:20 o'clock and was
due to arrive in Washington at 9:40 o'clock
as per schedule for Thursday, October 13,
1898 On arriving at Point Of Rocks we
were compelled to await the pleasure of
this well-managed road until five special
trains, bearing Tempiars on their way
home from Pittsburg, and we did not ar
rive in Washington until 12:05 am. of FRI
day morning, something like six hours to
go little fifty-seven miles. AS these spe-
cial trains were all Pullman and Wagner
coaches and the excursionists were asleep
in them and were only on their Way to
our city to pass Friday in sightseeing, and
could not get here in time for any pleas-
ure Jaunts on Thursday evening what was
the object of the company in making its
regular patrons suffer such inconyenienceY ?
Such gross neglect of the people who have
made the road what it is should be held
up to public view, and stringent means
should be attempted to right the fragrant
abuse. JOHN HADLEY DOYf,E

Crew of the Kearsarse.

The Alabama, destroyed by the Kear-
sarge, was valued by the courts at Sf9oouo,
and every person on board the victorious
Kearsarge was awarded a goodly sum-
Every man but one who took part in that
fight has received his bounty or prize
money. The name of this one man Is not
known. His claim was never presented.
Congress will be called upon to appro-
pirate the money to pay the bounties aris-
ing out of the Santiago and Manila fights.
Auditor Morris holds that the money now
in the treasury was specifically appropri-
ated, and cannot be touched to pay the
newly arising claims. 1t is thought prob
able that a fight will be made to abolish

from the Spanish-American war have been

reading the report from Atlanta, which
appeared in the Morning News of yester-

with money and fusion with the Popu-

ocracy in this district, said: Il believe
the report is true that the Republicans
are preparing to carry this district with
money and fusion, If it is possible for them
to do so. 1 do not believe, however, that
any amount of money can accomplish
such a result The people of the Eleventh
district will never submit TO being domi-
mated and controlled by scalawags. 1t
will be impossible for money or any other
power to bring about such a condition
in this district. We have in the district
a large Democratic majority, and it is
only necessary for these Democrats to be
advised of the real necessity for their
taking an active hand in the campaign,
and when this is done there will be no
fear as to a Democratic victory"
The Democrats throughout the dis
trict have their eyes open and know what
is necessary, and I am quite sure will
do their fun duty; and when the Demo-
cratic hosts complete their work, Hon
w. G. Brantley will be elected to Congress
by an overwhelming majority.
