The Names of Streets.
Editor of The Times:

Editor of The Times:
Sir,-I recall a, rather prolonged discus
sion In the newspapers here some years
ago in regard to changing the names Of
Broad and Main Streets.
We now have a new Council, and as the
members of that body seem to be unani-
nous in their views respecting clear water
and plenty of it, more and cheaper gas:
better streets, a larger police force and
many other things tending to promote the
interests Of the community and make the
average citizen happy, | think the time
is ripe for putting on a little dignity and
rising above the average country village

text as regards water, streets. gas, etc:
and is certainly going to see that all Of
these things are done. This is a fore
gone conclusion.
don't like to see free. horse ridden
to death, but suggest that when the Street
runs out Of q, Job they consider the ques-
ton OF finding more suitable names for
Main and Broad Streets.
Main Street divides the city into north
and south. Then why not call 1t Divis-

is true. but it is not the only broad street
in Richmond. Why not call it Centre,

names let him trot 'em out, but by all
means let's start the ball a rolling and see

the River Elba at 1890 O'Clock
this morning. So far as is ascertalned,

The Primus was an excursion steamer

Blankense and Nienstedten. Among the
passengers were the mem bers OF the Eli

At the time of the accident the Primus
was crossing the river channel near
Blankenese from the southern. into the
northern fairway. According to wit
nesses aboard the Hansa, the movement
was made too precipitately. The Hansa
endeavored to push the Primus ashore,
but the tug grounded and the ships
parted. The Primus then sank: In the
interval. about fifty of her passengers
were able to reach the Hansa by means
of ropes and ladders. Seventy more were
picked up by the tugs boats, While others
