TEST OF THE LoCoMoBILE.
Collection and Delivery of Mail In
Quick Time.

The CITY Postoffice made two successful
tests of the locomoble today in the collec-
ton of mail. the time of collection in each
test being cut TO considerably less than
half the usual limit. Both trips were in
the northwestern portion of the city. part
lv in the business section and partly on
residence streets, so that Mr. Merritt, the
son Of the postmaster, who is conducting
the experiments with the Iocomoble. con-
siders them fair general test of the ca
liabilities of the machines. The Postoffice
Department has been particularly interest
ed in the tests and it at the request
of the department that the City Postoffice
made them.
The trips began at Pennsylvania Avenue
and Twenty-Five Street and extended west
ward to Rock Greek. on both sides of the
Avenue. The start was made from the
Postoffice for the first trip at l0:<, and
before II o'clock the wagonette, and the
buggy which accompanied it. were back at
the Office having gone to the route. made
the collections from twenty three boxes.
and returned. In the afternoon the same
ground was covered in about the same
time The actual time covered by the col
lections was thirty-two minutes.
The locomobile is a steam power
machine. in which the steam is generated
by a gasoline fire. The steam exhaust
makes almost no noise and the machine
speeds over the asphalt pavements almost
as silently as bicycle. The mechanism is
simple and compact and is operated with
| little difficulty apparently. A small hand
| lever controls the power, a rod in front
| is the steering apparatus, and foot break
stops the wheels The machine is capable
| of making forty-two miles when the way
is clear, but on the trips today the time
| between boxes was between fifteen and
twenty miles.
Mr. Merritt said of the trips today and of
| a delivery trip made on Tuesday: The
| tests demonstrate beyond question that
! the locomobile is speedy and that the time
OF trips may be cut down from half to
| two-thirds. | went over the entire route
in the buggy and watched the collection.
Everything ran smoothly and no difficulty
was encountered anywhere.
| "A delivery trip to the uptown hotels
was made on Tuesday, and this was even
more successful than the collection trips.
We went to all the uptown hotels includ-
! ing the Cairo in thirty-eight minutes. The
! schedule time is an hour and a half
Superintendent of Delivery Bell is par
| ticularly interested in the tests. He said
this morning: The question of time saw
ing seems to be demonstrated beyond doubt.
As to the availability of the locomo-
| bile pattern of machine il seems to- ME
well suited to our needs. The present We
hicle requires a driver in addition to the
carrier in order to save time. but it would
| be perfectly feasible to construct one with
an opening in the rear similar to the pres
ent collection wagons which could be op-
Grated by the carrier"

They drank these and Smell got an

his whisky with milk. and had been, in
the opinion of the witness, drinking freely

ECKINGToN CITIZENS PROTEST.
The Objections to the Plan to Abolish
Grade Crossings.


public hearing on the bill now before
Congress, providing for the elimination
of grade crossings by the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad, was granted to the MEM
bers of the North Capitol and lexington
Citizens Association, by the District Conn
mssioners at IL o'clock this morning.
Every member of the railroad committee
of the Citizens Association together with
the officers and number of members of
the Northeast Washington Association
were present when the board was called
to order by Commissioner Wight
President Linton made statement of
the position taken by the citizens. He
said the citizens of lexington regarded the
Commissioners as the city fathers and
looked to them for relief. The discomfort
incident to the railroad tracks is great
but to have the streets closed was some
thing the citizens did not intend to toler-
ate. Mr.. Linton presented bill to the
Commissioners which he believed would be
acceptable.
A r. Serven presented list of fifteen
reasons why the bill now before Congress
should be defeated. He said that the
citizens of lexington have invested vast
sums of money in property in this sec
tion. and had secured improvements paid
the section. which were equal TO any i'm
provements in the heart of the city.
Mr. Server concluded his address by
stating that the enactment of the bill
would completely blot out lexington as a
portion of the city, and the beauty and at
/ tractiyeness of the suburb would be conf
pletely lost.
There is no part of the city. he said,
which promised SO much for the future ot

and contracts have been let for the erec
tion of more than 200 new buildings. while
a number OF other Improvements are con-
templated

I committee of the lexington Association.
spoke in the same line. His address was
confined mostly 10 a recitation OF the i'm
provements in lexington which would be
greatly damaged by the passage OF the bill.
Prof. Macafee. of Washington College,
I said the interests of the people were in
I the hands of the Commissioners and Con-
/ gress and he believed that justice would
be done The proposed change would
/ benefit nobody but the railroad. he said,
and he believed 1t would mar the beauty
! of the suburb
s S Daish was next heard. He said he
! had been led to believe that the hearing
| was to be a public hearing, but he found
! when he came that the meeting was one of
! the lexington Citizens Association. He
/ said he only wanted the property rights
! of the people OF this section protected eth
! er by the United States statutes or the bill
| which was now before the Commissioners.
! Commissioner Wight stated that the Com
missioners had not taken up the consid-
! eration of the matter as yet but when
! they did they would consider the argu-
ments of the property owners who had ap-
/ peared before them.
