South Washington Tracks to Remain.

northeasterly to the junction with the eX-
listing line of the road at Magruder Station.
South Washington Tracks to Remain
There is no mention in the bill of the
abandonment of the tracks now in South
Washington save those which connect with
the present station on the Mall, and the as
sumption is that inasmuch as the legisla-
ton of last year is not repealed, save in
certain specified instances, those tracks will
remain, to be constructed according to the
plans therein adopted.
This Is virtually all of the bill as 1T az
fects the engineering questions involved. In
consideration Of the Abandonment by the
railroad of the Mall property which 1t now
uses and which it may use under the act
Of last February, the government is to pay
the corporation 81, 100000. The bonus of an
equal amount to be paid jointly by the
District and the government to the Balti-
more and Ohio, under the terms of last
years legislation, remains in force.
The bill provides for the adjustment of
the relations of the three railroad interests
involved, the Baltimore and Potomac and
the Baltimore and Ohio companies and the
terminal company provided for by last
years act. 1t stipulates that the work
shall be finished within five years from the
passage of the pending act, thereby eX-
tending the period stipulated in the other
laws. The usual requirements as to the ap-
proval Of plans are included.

Thousand million suns.

At the Glasgow meeting of the British
Association, Lord Kelvin interested a large
audience with his calculations of the prob
able total amount of gravitational mat
ter In the visible universe. He showed
that If. 25,00o,0OO years ago 1000 0OO, 600
masses, each equal to our sun, had been
distributed through sphere about 1s,OOO.-
o00. 600, 100000 miles in radius, they would
now hzse acquired velocities about equal to
those known to be possessed by the stars
visible to MS. Therefore IT Is probable thar
the total amount OF gravitational matter in
tine visible universe does not differ much
from that Of l.000, ,000, 900 suns.

BOSTON EXPRESS.

The Port Chester accommodation train on the
New-York, New-Haven and Hartford Railroad
which left this city 6.O6 p m yesterday car
rying about eight hundred passengers had
miraculous escape from destruction between
Mount Vernon and Wakefield when two driving
wheels of the engine snapped off Ihe ieit rear
wheel weighing more than fifteen hundred
pounds crashed into the Boston express with oo'
passengers westbound as il dashed by, tearing
off steps and pieces of the siding. The crash
startled the passengers. Pieces OF WOOD anu
iron flew in all directions, and yet strange 10
say, not single person was injured
1t was Just :33 D. m when the Port Chester
train, drawn by engine No. 243, in charge OF
William Mornhnweg. engineer, and Whlla'n
Lush, fireman. was entering Mount Vernon dI
the rate of twenty miles an hour. suddenly
stopped and then shot ahead. There was
crash, ard passengers were thrown from their
seats by the shock. The train was entering
the deep cut the Wakefield tower. and
there pandemonium among the passengers
While the driving wheels and rods were tearing
up the road bed, and the engine cab was sway
ing from side to side. MOrnhinweg stuck to his
post, and, employing the emergency brake
brought the train to a quick stop. His quick
action saved the train from destruction, be-
cause a moment later the right forward driv-
ing wheel left the rail- while the left rear wheel
turned over the express track, and
dashed wildly about by the driving rod which
did not SNAP Off
The Port Chester local. which in charge
of Conductor George Butterfield, made up
of seven coaches. filled with commuters. They
were forced to climb thirty foot ladder to the
street above the deep cut. Many women climbed
the ladder. while others who were more timid
walked along the dark cut to the Mount Vernon
station, a mile away Soon after the accident
the Boston express whiZZed by.
An examination of the engine showed that
both axles had snapped off between the firebox
the wheels.

Is a grand musician, complete master
OF the plano and one OF the most love-
able Of gentlemen. The success gained
by Herr Jonas on the occasion Of his
appearance in New York. at Carnegie
Hall, with Damroschs orchestra, was
instantaneous and marked. This was
soon followed by several recltals, in
which the eminent pianist fully dis
played his admirable qualities, and
gained popular favor and unreserved
praise from the entire press. His sue
cess with the Boston Symphony or

est ever recorded in that city. He
played PaderewskPs concerto with this
famous orchestra and was recalled
eight times the press going wild over
his mastery work. CPaderewski had
played this same concerto in the same
hall and with the same orchestra some
months previously -
Jonas was at the head of the plano

that his powers could have greater
