Freight on the Suburban ROads,

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
The letter in Friday nights Star signed
''W. c.. D." in reference to the ACCESSIBILITY
of allowing the suburban railroads to carry
freight, was opportune, and I should say
his remarks were very reasonable. When
the question comes to be examined care
fully there are very few objections which
can be found to allowing the suburban rail-
roads to engage in this kind of traffic. Some
of them are as follows, with the answers
appended
1. The carrying of various kinds of pro-
ducts by freight cars through the streets
might be considered injurious to the prop
erty fronting on the railroad.
Answer There would be no necessity Of
having the various kinds of freight exposed
to public view on sIch roads, as specially
arranged freight cars. on the model per-
haps of the mail cars now running on our
Ella ctric roads might be made to carry such
materials. Of1course, nicely decorated
inclosed car would mot be Objectionable and
would be entirely satisfactory for carrying
all kinds of products with not very much
bulk. III
roads would head to considerable opposi-
tion on their part and reduce their traffic
to the extent to which the electric roads
could econ omicallyi furnish TRANSPORTATION.
Answer l be1ieventhe days of the steam
both passengers and freight, are very
nearly numbered, and the sooner we take
| advantage ofJomodern facilities, modern
economies and modern conveniences the
| more progress will be made in the forward
movement of lettering our conditions.
! The advantages to be acquired from the
| carrying of freight on the suburban roads
are many.
| /. 1t will encourage the suburban electric
| roads which do not at the present time pay
| any dividends and appear to be an expense
| to the owners, and may enable them to
| make their franchises sufficiently valuable
| to give better service for passenger traf-
| fic and reduce the freight rates.
. 1t will give much quicker transporta-
| ton as Well as more frequent train serv-
| ice If the traffic will warrant it.
| g. 1t will encourage suburban building
| and the spreading out of the population
| from the densely populated sections into
the more healthful regions surrounding the
| city.
| 4. 1t will furnish better facilities for Sc
| curing purchases made in the city, now
| carried by the suburbanites, which makes
such life sometimes burden, and gives

NO DANGER OF EXPLOSION.
The Torpedo Adrift OF Virginia Not
Contact Mine.

The torpedo which hoated ashore near
Coyners Hill Hfe-saving station, on the Vir-
ginia coast, has been disposed of so far as
instructions from here are concerned. 1t
is believed that 1t was one of the mines
planted at the outset of the war about Fort
Monroe, though possibly it fioated north
from the mine fields at the mouth of the
Cape Fear. The commanding officer at
Fort Monroe has been instructed by Chief
Of Engineers Wilson to take charge of it.
The floating off of the torpedo has aroused
little interest at the War Department, as
possibly a dozen in all have been detached
from the immense number of mines planted
along our entire coast line during the Span
ish war. AS they were all constructed to
be exploded only by electric contact, there
is no need of apprehension. In many cases
they have been cut loose by vessels plow-
ing through the fields and several have
been badly denied without exploding. I'm
der ordinary treatment their presence need
create no apprehension

but for some months past had been en-
ployed by the railroads at the st. Asaph
station, just across the Long bridge. When
in the city he stopped with Mrs. Jasper,
az No. 62s Pennsylvania avenue northwest.
Crowley was here Saturday evening last,
and stopped at Mrs. Jasper's to eat dinner.
At the time he said he would return for
the night, but did not put in an appearance,
this being the last time, so far as known.
that he was seen in the District Mrs Jas

fectly rational Saturday, and she was much
surprised to hear of his arrest.
AS far as can be learned Crowley has
no relatives in Washington. He is a native
of Pennsylvania and has family connec-
tons there. He also has a sister some-
where in the west.

Bids for Glove Contest.

There is liable to be some very tall bid
ding for the Fftzsimmons-Jeffr glove
contest, if the Horton law is not repealed.
Up to the present time there has been but
one offering of $4,000 in this vicinity This
Is hardly circumstance to what will fol-
low between now and March g. if the ex-
lSung laws are not amended. Other clubs
in this vicinity, which have not been heard
from, are only awaiting the right move in
Albany, and when it is made they will
flood Dave Holland with offerings and bids
for the contest The Lenox Club will go
pretty high. and so will the Coney Island
institution, which will no doubt be fathered
by Jim Wakely and Billy" Brady. Then
1t Is likely that Fitzpatrick whose bid for
$1,000 is in the name of the Westchester
Club, will come in a second time
The hit, however. and a very lively one,
VIII come from a. club that is in the course
OF formation, to be built at Bergen Beach
Already plans are being laid to outbid any
athletic club in the business and the pro-
prIetors of the proposed institution are men
OF wealth and influence. 1t will not be sur
prlslng to hear a bid coming from Bergen
Beach that will astonish the natives for
there are two objects in view, the .prin cipal
OF which is to advertise Bergen Beach.
There is a possibility that a bid of $40 600
will be offered, If circumstances permit: or

"Father" Chadwick Ill.

The base ball fraternity will be grieved
to learn that Henry Chadwick is confined
to his room by a severe attack of rheu-
matism in his neck and limbs. occasioning
spasms of great pain. Ever since he had
the grip badly, in 1893, he has suffered with
these rheumatic attacks regularly every
February, and as they occur about the
time that his editorial work on the League
Guide Book eliminates 1t is surmised that
the statistical labor involved brings on
this periodical illness as the result of over
work. However, his physician, DIR. Chas
B: Tucker of Halsey street, has hopes of
having him out of bed again before the
end of the month.
