WEDNEs DAY EVENING. JULY 3D. 1901

Ir SEEMS to be foregone conclusion
that the street improvements conIem-
nlated this summer are destined to be
blocked until the weather becomes too
cold for such work, and next spring
will have arrived before anything shall
have been done toward paving the
threee squares on King street with VII
rlfied brick. Besides this the long
expected railroad around the southern
and Of the city which bad been coh-
templated by the Manassas Gap road
half century ago, and which would
have been an accomplished fact In
few months, is destined to miscarriage
because certain parties now occupying
creek shore land will not part with 1t
save on terms which the railroad COM
pany regard as exorbitsnt. twill thus
he seen that what would have proven
great benefit to people living on Wilkes
street is to be thwarted. Were this
new road constructed that street would
he relieved Ia g measure OF many oil the
heavy trains now run over 1t. As has
heretofore been stated, the yards OF the
Alexandria Brick Company are now
the terminus OF the road. and the rail-
road company having ordered their at
torneys to cease from any further over;
lures With the parties occupying the
land through which the road is des-
tined to pass, these yards will probably
continue to form the END OF the road.
This is unfortunate, and 1t seems 10
many 10 the community that some sat-
isfaotory means of settlement could
have be 90 reached between the COM
pany and those claiming the land.
When the Manassas Gap Railroad was
turned over to the Southern road soon
after the close of the war it was sup.
posed that all franchises OF the former
were transferred to the latter. The
Manassas road had secured right Of
way around the city, and why under
the terms Of that grant the Southern
road cannot claim it is not exactly IN
derstood. OF course the company can
apply to the court and have the land
condemned, but the procedure would
mean several months delay. whereas
could the owners Of the ground and the
officials settle the matter out of court
the work Of building the road would
proceed at once.

mitted army officers to buy them at q

MRS. RODNEY NOW SUES FOR
DIVORCE.

The famous Rodney case, involving
the matrimonial troubles Of Lieutenant
Commander Robert Burton Rodney, U
S. N, retired, and Margaret L. Owen
Rodney, the young Eoglish woman
whom the retired navy officer married
in Toronto, Canada, last November,
again came up ia court in Washington
yesterday. it caused quite q surprise
in social circles, ss 1t was thought that
the difficulties between the Rodneys
had been ended.
Yesterday Mrs. Rodney filed a bill
for absolute divorce and alimony
against her husband, alleging cruel and
inhuman treatment recently and claim.
ing that Rodney had threatened her
life.
The Rodneys are collateral cousins,
and claim to be descended from the IA
nous Eoglish admiral of that name.
They met 10 Canada and after a short
courtship married.
Miss Cole, close personal friend OF
Mrs. Rodney, was asked by the bride
to accompany them on their wedding
tour. During the tour, it has since
transplred, Miss Cole occupied room
with Mrs. Rodney at her request, and
Rodney occupied another room. Ar.
irving in Washing ton, tho bridal party
stayed at local hotel, and Miss Cole
still occupied the room with Mrs. Rod
Dey.
Ga December 26, an extraordinary
suit was filed in court by Mrs. Rodney,
asking for separate allowance, claiming
that her husband wauld not pay her
bills. The reply OF Rodney was still
more sensational, for he made the claim
that Miss Cole had constantly occupied
room with his wife and had COM
pletely alienated her affections. After
several legal battles Rodney was Or
dersd to pay s45 q month alimony.
Great difficulty IVES experienced In
getting him to pay the slimony, he
contesting 1t in every possible way.
Finally 10 April Rodney's wife came
into court and asked that the courts or
der be revoked, as q reconciliation had
been effected. The parties then went to
reside In Florida avenue house, and
appeared at several society events. An
seemed to be tranquil until yesterday,
when their new troubles appeared 10
the court proceedings.
Mrs. Rodney claims her husband is
DOW engaged ss a solicitor, prosecuting
claims against the government he
formerly served. She says be hss
lucrative practice and good income.

ALREADY HAS the U0ited States got
ten into commercial troubles with Rus
STA and I,aly by the arbitrary action Of
some of the government officials 10
raising the tariff rates which caused re-
taliatory action on the part OF the two
countries mentioned, which resulted In
the virtual exclusion of some American
products from those countries. Now
it seems that Germany means the new
tariff project, which she published a
few days ago, az the declaration of
commercial war upon the United
States. This country started the tariff
war aud ali far seeing men foressw
what would follow. This being the
case that Germany has a perfect right
to regulate her tariffs" no fair minded
man can gainssy, but when the other
countries begin to erect high tariff
wall against American products the
people may take hand and compel
reduction OF the tariffs imposed by this
country. The United States In 1900
sent 1896, 750, 400 worth OF goods into
the German Empire.

Compoupd steam Turbine.

London. July 31.-James Weir Gray
don's compound steam turbine was
tested today at the Sinners engineering
works with promising results. Steam
from a half inch pipe with a pressure
OF 200 pounds developed 1000 revolu.
lions per minute with 20 horse power.
The turbine made roaring noise but
there were no vibrations. After fifteen
expansions the steam was by no means
exhausted, indicating that 25 expansions
could DO used with q consequent gain
in power and saving of fuel. Mr..
Grsydon is delighted with the showing
of his invention.

1901, ANDREW DELLA, aged "a years.
1t is so natural that We fall asleep
Like tired children when the day Is done,
That would question why the living weep
When Death has kissed she laughing lips OF
one.
We do not sigh when golden skies have donned
The purple shadows and the gray of night,
Because we know the morning lies beyond,
And We must wait little while for light.
So, when grown weary with care and strife,
Our loved ones find in sleep the peace they
crave,
We should not weep, but learn to count this
life
A prelude to the oae beyond the grave
And thus be happy for them. not distressed
But learn to lift our hearts with love to God
and smile,
And We anon like tired ones will rest
II we will hope snd wait little while.
By HIS Sous.

CHANGING THE MEETING PLACE.
There lie considerable indignation ex-
pressed 10 Charlottesville over the &C.
ton of Mr.. Park Agnew, chairman OF
the committee directing the republican
State convention to assemble 10 Roanok Q
instead OF Charlottesville where it had
previously been determined to hold it.
As has been stated, many people 10
Charlottesville believe the change was
made 10 the interest of Mir. Hoge as
against General Rosser both of whom
are candidates for the guberpatorial
nomination. The former lives In Roa-
noke aud the latter in Charlottesville.
The people OF the latter place had, they
say, made ali arrangements for the con
vention, and they claim they have am
pie conveniences and every other necess-
airy accommodation. They feel that
greet injustice has been done them.
General Rosser In a card in the Char
lottesvllle Progress gives an interesting
account of the machinatiou by which
Roanoke was selected, and says:
upon receiving reply to my letter
from Mr.. Park Agnew In which l pro.
tested against change in the meeting

tie Mayor and Chamber OF Commerce
and other prominent citizens, and the
Mayor and the President OF the
Chamber OF Commerce both wired

surfing him that the city could accom-.
modate the convention; that satisfactory
arrangements had been made to that
effect and If he was not satisfied that
they would send select committee to
him to prove il; yet 10 the face of these
facts the convention has been called off
to Roanoke, and from reading over the
plan OF the organization OF the party /
find that the whole proceeding isillegal;
that Mr.. Agnew was not authorized
TO take the steps that he did. and that
it is creating great dissatisfaction over

away and buried itin the gravel. There
it was soon found and the papers were
filed with speculations of writer's ss to
