SUBURBAN IMPROVEMENT.
Mt. Pleasant Citizens Discuss Plan
for 18th Street Extension.

The Mount Pleasant Citizens Association
last night discussed the subject of the i'm
provement of 10th street extended. 1t was
stated at the meeting of the association
which was held at the Hotel Stratford, that
a plan to establish a central parkway in
the street beyond the city limits was under
consideration by the Commissioners. After
going over the matter the association placed
itself on record as opposing such a plan. 1t
was feared that in this way the parking
privileges of the residents along the thor
oughfare might be curtailed. The associa-
ton declared in favor of clear roadway,
with wide parking spaces back of the side
walks. A committee, composed of F. L.
Campbell, N. e. Young and Thomas r.
Rodgers, was appointed to consult with the
Commissioners.
At the District building this morning 1t
was stated that such plan as had been
discussed by the citizens last evening was
under consideration in a tentative way
The Commissioners have asked from Con-
gress the sum of $4,000 to begin the work
of improving 10th street, the total cost of
which will be third of million dollars.
Col. Biddle, the Engineer Commissioner
has offered the suggestion that as 10Th
street extended will be in the nature of
boulevard it should be improved as such.
His idea was to have a central parking
space within which might be located
track for horseback riding. The driveways
would be on either side Of this center i'm
provement. This was merely suggestion,
however.
The Commissioners determined to request
the advice of Mr.. Frederick Law Olmsted
jr., of Brookline, Mass. on the subject
Mr. Olmsted is a member Of the parking
commission appointed by the Senate He
was in the city last week and went over the
ground with Col Biddle. He will report his
views to the Commissioners at an early
date and they will then come to definite
decision as to the style of Improvement
The meeting Of the Mount Pleasant Citi-
zens' Association was presided over by E.
B. Townsend, the president. Sixteenth
street was the principal topic Of the even.
ing After the discussion as to the style or
Improvement was finished the suggestion
was made that the Commissioners condemn
and set aside for parking purposes a num-
her of triangular pieces of ground at street
intersections along the extended thorough
fare,

oft. Several of the women connected with
the two families gave excited and sensa-
tional testimony and at times tears flowed
freely. 1t was alleged that Mr.. Elliott
had visited the home of his brother and
had struck Mrs. Elliott several times be-
fore departing, and also that he had
struck her when they met later on the
street. Both of the charges were admitted
by the accused, who said that he had been
provoked beyond endurance by the actions
of the complainant, who he alleged, had
come to his home and assaulted his wife
in addition to calling her vile names. In
turn Mrs. Elliott admitted as much, but
said she. too had had her forbearance tax
ed beyond the limit by the scandalous tales
which she alleged had been told about her
by the wife Of her brother-in-law.
Mayor Simpson said he regretted that
the trouble between the parties could not
have been peacefully settled, but announced

ALEXANDRIA, Va, November H. 19O2.
William T. Sisemore, local employee OF
the Southern railroad, met death suddenly
this morning about 10 o'clock by being
crushed under pile of heavy car doors
which fell accidentally from their position in
a box car in the freight yard of the South
ern road in this city. The unfortunate man
was pinned down under mass of ton
and a half of the material. When the doors
we're raised from his body several minutes
after the accident life was extinct His neck
had been broken and his body was other
wise severely bruised.
Mr.. Sisemore was employed with three
other men in moving the heavy doors. There
were six of them, weighing about 500 pounds
each. The other men in the lot were Eweu
Sulfin, Rensey Clements and ]. H. Sisemore,
the latter being brother of the victim or
the accident. While the men were engaged
in moving the pieces, one by one, the whole
mass of doors became loosened and slid
down. The workmen scattered in hurry,
and all were successful in escaping but Mr.
Sisemore. He was caught and held under
the mass. AS soon as his associates recog-
nized his awful position they FASTENED to his
aid, but their attempts to remove the load
from his body were unavailing. Other men
working nearby were called, but several
minutes had elapsed before the crushed
form under the pile was taken out. The re-
lief had come too late. but it is believed that
his death was almost instantaneous.
The circumstances of the accident were
peculiarly sad. The brother of the victim
was compelled to witness the hoTrifyins
scene without being able to render any as
sistance. Mr.. SiSemore was about forty
years of age and was unmarried. His home
was in Middleburg, Loudoun county, BUT
recently he had been living at the home OF
his brother, HOS Prince street. Coroner
Purvis was called soon after the accident
and decided to hold an inquest this after
noon at 4:3O o'clock at the undertaking
rooms of w. Domaine & Son. on King
street. The remains will be forwarded to
his former home tomorrow morning for in
terment.
