CITIZENS OBJECT.
Effort to Prevent Rebuilding of Ben.
ming AbattOif.

EnOrt to Prevent Rebuilding OF Ben
ming Abattoif.
A mass meeting Of the citizens Of Benz
ming was held last evening in Keyser's 8
Hall, in that suburb, Mr.. ]. s. Mewshaw
being called to the chair and Mr.. J. M.
Fowler chosen secretary. The object Of
the meeting was explained by Mr.. New
which to prevent the rebuilding Of the
abattoir, which was recently partially
burned. The people Of Benning had. he
said. for years submitted to the intoler-
able stencil which arises from the reducing
plant connected with the abattoir when
ever the plant is in use, and this occurs
almost daily. The smell has not only be-
come a menace to health. he said. but a
detriment to property and everything else
that makes home life pleasant and agree
able.
DR.. Savage remarked that he called on
Health Officer Woodward early this week
clear of the abattoir, or at least of the
odor complained of, and DR.. Woodward
informed him that while be desired the
people Of Benning to get the relief they
seek he was powerless in the matter.
Mr.: James Lee. superintendent of the
Washington Jockey Club. remarked that
the authorities of the Washington Traction
Company were in sympathy with the pend
Ing movement. as the patrons of the CO.
lumbia line. which runs through Bennng,
had complained Of the bad smell from the
reducing plant.
After remarks by several others present
Messrs- ]. s. Mewshaw, N Keyser and
]. M. Fowler were appointed a committee
to prepare and present a protest to the
District Commissioners against the issu-
ance of a permit for the rebuilding of the
ahattoir unless some plan be adopted to do
away with the odors from the reducing
plant.

sARRowLY ESCAPES DEATH.
Rufus Dennett's PerilOus Adventure
on Grade Crossing.


on Grade CrQssinG.
Rufus bennett. colored, whose home 10
at 115 Central avenue, Ivy City. narrowly
escaped instant death on the Florida ave-
nue. grade crossing of the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad about 8 O'Clock yesterday
afternoon. He saved himself by Jumping
from his wagon, but the vehicle was de-
molished and his horse killed.
bennett had been in to the city on busi-
ness and was on his way homo when the
accident occurred. He drove along New
York avenue and so far as he could see
there was no sign Of danger at the cross
ing at New York and Florida avenues
In the absence of a danger signal and the
gates being up, the colored man was con-
tinuing his Journey homeward, when ne
suddenly discovered an approaching e1-
press train from the west. 1t was evident
the driver would have to get over the
crossing in a hurry If he would escape
death. for Engineer Hansroth, in charge
of the swiftly approaching engine, could
not possibly stop his train before reaching
the crossing. Seeing 1t was impossible to
urge his horse fast enough to get out OF
the way, bennett needed the advice OF ex-
cited pedestrians and jumped from the
wagon. Hardly had he reached the ground
when the crash came. The wagon was
damaged beyond repair and the horse was
instantly killed.
bennett was badly frightened by his ex-
citing experience. Soon after the accident
happened the railroad workmen removed
the debris and bennett entered claim
against the company for the damage to
his DrOperty.

A Public Highway.

The District Commissioners have been
advised by their attorney. Mr.. a. B. Duvall
that Montana avenue as shown in the sub
division of South Brookand, is public
highway, and he says 1t follows that the
assessment books should be corrected ac-
cordingly. The doubt as to the avenue be-
Ing public highway. explains Mr.. Duvall.
is believed to have arisen from the fact
that although upon the recorded plat of
its north end, and on the original plat from
which the book page is supposed to have
been copied, there is a line apparently clos
ing off the avenue from Dahlgren Circle.
