night the heat was almost sitting.
Long before the sun set all semblance

was almost as still as glass, while the
leaves on the trees were motionless.
The swarms of flies had been material

with gnats, and reserve corps Of may
flies had arrived. By dark there were
occasional zephyrs from the southeast,
but they were of short duration and
manifested at long intervals. The

COLLAPSE OF A SHELF.-A shelf
which extendedalmost the entire length
OF the office of the Postal Telegraph
Company, on King street, near Pitt, fell
about ten O'Clock this morning with
loud noise. The shelf was on the west
side OF the room and was filled with
bottles OF acid and electric appliances
of all kinds used by Mr.. Charles Thomp.
son, the electrician, whose place of bust

table when the shelf fell. The chair
was driven into the boards and be
would doubtless have been killed had
be been at his post. The damage was
considerable, everything that was on
the shelf having been shattered. The
supports were insufficient and the
heavy weight Of the articles on the re-

IMPROVED RAILROAD FACILITIES
The Commissioner of the District oil
Columbia yesterday formally approved
the plans for the Improvement OF the
terminal OF the Pennsylvania Railroad
in Washington and the elimination OF
grade crossings within the city limits.
1t Is understood that work will be CON-
menced at once. When finished, the
tracks will be either depressed or ele-
waited above the street level at every
crossing. The new station OF Sixth
aud b streets will resemble in general
plan the Broad street station in Phila-
delphia. Trains will enter and leave on
the level OF the second floor. Passen'
ger elevators will carry patrons from
the street level to the depot proper.
Trains entering the city from the north
will, upon emerging from the tunnel
at Second street east, begin to ascend
the elevated tracks, which will be ar
ranged at such grade as to cross over
South Capitol street. From that point
the tracks will be elevated all the way
to the station. The tracks of the south
bound lines will be elevated from the
station at Sixth street until after cross
ing Ninth street, when they will begin
TO come again to the street level. The
streets which will not be abandoned
will be depressed so as to pass under
the tracks. Water street Will pass un-
der, and Fourteenth street will be de-
hected so as not to cross the tracks, bu
lead instead into the new highway
bridge across the Potomac. The i'm
provemeuts contemplated will cost in
the neighborhood of 100000.
