The question OF oyercrcwding the street
ears of the District has been under consid-
Grafton by the Commissioners for some
days. Their attention was drawn to the
subject by receiving from the Chairman
of the House Committee on the District OF
Columbia, bill 1l143. to prevent the over
erowding of street cars and for other pur-
poses"
The Commissioners first referred the bin
to H c. Newcomer Assistant TO the En-
gineer Commissioner, who Considered the
matter and submitted q report, recon-
mending that the bill be not approved.
Captain Newcomer called attention TO the
fact that the bill was ungrammaticai In Ian
guage and defective in other respects. The
report also sets forth the belief that the
overerowding OF street cars should not be
corrected by Congressional enactment. IL
is stated that the matter is one which can
best be treated by the Commissioners un-
der the authority Of law already enacted as
follows:
To make and enforce all such reason
able and usual police regulations, in ad-
dition to those already made under act
of January 20, 1887. as they may deem
necessary for the protection Of lives, lin S.
health, comfort, and quiet Of all persons,
and the protection Of all property within
the District of Columbia
Captain Newcomer also states that the
matter is one that can be controlled large
ly through the schedules or time tables Of
the different street railways, which are
subjected to the approval of the Commis-
sioners. In case there is any doubt as 10
the authority of the Commissioners to
formulate regulations TO cover this sub
iect Captain Newcomer thinks il would
be desirable 10 secure Congressional ac-
tion granting them the necessary authOri-
" so that the matter may be dealt with IN
such manner as APPEARS advisable from
time 10 time.
In closing MS report. Captain Newcomer
explains that the subject Is one that seems
TO come peculiarly within The province Of
police regulations and should be under the
control Of the Commissioners. so that
they may make the changes demanded by
the public needs.
sioner. has approved the report Of his as
sistant in one particular and recommends
that an unfavorabie report OF the bill be
sent to the House Committee ~Investi-
cation shows, he says, that there is but
little overerowding Of the character speci-
ned. and as IL is believed that the Com
missioners now have authority 20 make
and enforce police regulations on the sub
ject the proposed legislation is deemed
TO be unnecessary
II may be assumed therefore that CAP
tain Beach will now recommend TO his as
sOeiates that action be taken TO stop the
overcrowding Of cars. which is a source Of
constant and universal complaint in the
District.

MAKING LIMESTONE BRICK.
New Methods Employed by Germnu
Manufacturer.

B. H. Warner. jr.. United States Consul
at Leipzig. writes the State Department
regarding a new process for making liue-
stone brick as follows:
"Burnt-clay bricks. like ma, ral stone,
have served as building material fIom the
beginning Of history. among Bea-ly all
races Recently a formidable r.val has
sprung up in the sandstone brick This
brick is the product OF quArtzifsrOus sand.
with which proportionateIy small amount
Of lime is mixed. the whole mass being
subjected 10 high pressure Of steam. The
result is an extremely hard Water-tight
product. imperviOus 10 frost or weather
and unaffected by all acids. Like every
new industry. ssndsIOne-brick making has
had many technical difficulties to over
come, the principal one being caused by
changes IN the weather. In cold. wet
weather much poorer sresults have been
obtained than in warm fine weather
Chemists and experts have tried to find
a way by which a uniform edegree Of ex-
cellency would be ensured: but all failed.
until the Zurich chemist. William
Schwarz. invented a process by which
good results could be obtained under all
circumstances.
Mr.. Schwarz found that 81 was neces-
sary 70 give the mixture an exact quantity
OF moisture. as wei as TO prepare and mix
IL at a certain temperature so that the
combination Of the silicic acid in the SAND
and lime should begin TO take place before
the mixture is pressed into brick forms.
In this way all deleterious seratiOn OF the
lime is avoided during the manufacturing
process Mr. SchwarZ has-Snvented a proc
ess by which the amount of moisture can
be regulated-namely, mixing dry sand
with lime in a vacuum so that any aera-
tion OF the lime by the carbonie acid OF
the atmosphere is impossible. At the same
time. the temperature Is raised to and
kept al certain degree by steam heat
and then a certain quantity Of moisture in
the form OF steam is admitted. BY this
means. the preparatory process is safely
finished the action of the steam causing
the condensation OF the silicic acid ia the
sand and lime and so giving the proper
proportion Of eementing particles 10 the
mixture.
For employing this process, a machine
has been built in which the preparatory
and working process can be carried out
a mixing machine provided with revolving
arms for mixing the sand and lime. steam
tight, with an air pump attached 20 cx-
haust the air and also to draw out any
excessive quantity of moisture. Inside is
tube for admitting the exact quantity of
necessary steam. BY properly managing
three valves. the limestone raw product
can be made OF uniform quality, while for
merly several machines and apparatus.
which needed constant attention. were
necessary for making this product, and
then the results were never entirely sat-
isfactory.
With the SehwarZ invention begins a
new era in the limestone brick industry
that will be of great Importance in all
countries, and particularly in regions
where there is neither clay nor stone, but
where there is plenty of sand

negro seized that also. He then fred, the

prove fatal.
The affair occurred before the Auditorium
Theatre in the heart of Rockets. the ne

and demanded admittanee 70 the theatre
into which the wounded negro and the OH
Ger had retired. The officer succeeded in
barring the door. but several OF the negroes
were not satisfied. and began a fusilIade,
firing their revolvers through the doors
and windows. and tossing an occasional
brick into the building
An alarm was sent in 10 the station
house and all the available policemen were
summoned to the scene Of the trouble.
They held the crowd back until the wound
eG negro was taken TO the hospital. The
cries and means of his wife aroused the
crowd to a new frenzy and while they
were afraid TO attack the house, they
waited around with sullen determination
TO kill the officer when he came out. Gid

The excitement has somewhat abated,
Sut il is believed that the officer will have

HELPED BY HIS SWEETHEART.
An American Released From Con-
fnement in "a Mexican Jail


Ell PASo, Texas, May 14.-It is TO the
love of MoEican woman that Frank A.
Howard. an A heriean, owes his dramatic
escape from Mexican dungeon. and like
wise to he Jact-is due the fact that How
ard was ena Sled TO cross into United States
territory at this point last night
Howard was a freight conductor on the
Mexican Central on the division between
Jimulco and Jiminez. During his periods
of lay-over in Jimulco he met pretty Ma
ria Gonzales. who first admired the Young
American and then fell in love with him.
Less than a week ago. when HoTard's S
train was approaching the yards at JimuI-
co. the air mechanism of one of the cars
failed 10 work and Howard opened the
emergency valve in the caboOse The Of
feet was sudden jerk OF the forward ears.
A native brakeman sat on the brake Of one
OF these cars, and the jerk threw him to
the ground and one Of his arms was broken
by the fall
In consonance with Mexican laws regard
Ing railroad accidents. Howard was held
responsible. was arrested and placed in
lalL While HOward's friends were endeay-
oTing to secure a hearing OF the case his
sweetheart was planning and doing She
likewise brother. one OF the night en-
ployes of the roundhouse. She won their
sympathies and promises OF cooperation.
On the fourth night OF Howard's impris-
onment the plot was ripe Early that ev-
enlng Maria found the conductor of No. :,
due TO leave for the north at 1850. She
told him her story, and he agreed to hold
the train At an hour when the town had
gone TO sleep crowbar was laid conven-
iently near the jail; few minutes later
the heroic girls sister appeared at the en-
trance TO the jail. She told the Tailor she
had been visiting friend. and that con-
trary to agreement her brother had failed
TO call for her, and that she desired him
to escort her home The jailer was more
than honored-
Maria lost not a moment. She went into
the patio and 10 the cell OF the Imprisoned
American. First, she passed between the
bars Of the little opening in the door a
pistol and a knife. Then with the crowbar
she assaulted the old-fashioned lock and
broke ii from its fastenings. The door
swung open and Howard walked out She
told him what to dO-that a block distant
No. was waiting his coming He ran TO
the train The moment he reached the ca
boose the conductor gave the signal and
the train pulled out into the night
In relating the story of his adventure
and speaking of the work of Sencrita Con
zales for his safety tears came into How
ards eyes. He declares he would find
some way TO reward the noble girl. He
believes his fate would have been long
