Thousands of railway ties are being
shipped from points on the Potomac
river to Philadelphia and other northern
markets for railway construction. The
large barges Overlook and 5. n. Pre-
yost are lying in Wade's bay taking on
loads of ties and the barge j. I. Easton

Married in washington's Pew.

Mr.. Mathew Ostermeyer, Whoever
SO wears old, and Miss Bertha Bendlx,
So wears old. of Cleveland, Ohio, who
are attending the G.. A. X. encampment
at Washington, came to this city yester-
day and procured marriage license.
After securing the necessary document
thew departed from the court house in
search of a minister, but on the way
Christ Church doomed up before their
gaze and both were seized with the
romantic idea of being welded in that
historic old edifice. After learning that
there was a probability of the ceremony
being performed there they discovered a
drawback. They were both Methodists
and did not want to be married by an
Episcopal clergyman. A citizen sug-
gested that they 60 and ask the yestry-
men Of Christ Church to allow them to
have the ceremony performed IN that
church by Methodist minister. ms
they did, and later they were made man
and wife by Rev. Mr.. Stump, the knot
being tied while the couple stood IN
Washington's pew.

The G. A. r. Visitors.

The city has again been thronged to-
day with G.. 4. l.. men and others who
~ listing Washington. The electric
cars and boats have been crowded, and
the steam trains are still being run in
sections. Nearly every street in the
city has been traversed by strangers
during the day, while the river front
has also been thronged. Some were en-
gagged in locating piers from which they
embarked in the spring of 1862 for the
peninsula. Hunting creek bridge, the
site of New Alexandria and Others places
in that neighborhood were all familiar
spots to some Of the ex-federals. The
Telegraph road and Cameron run and
the sites Of Forts Ellsworth and Lyons
were also interesting places to the
visitors. Some landmarks were hard to
locate from the changes of forty years.
For instance, Peyton's Grove, where a
regiment of cavalry was encamped, has
undergone a complete metamorphosis,
as has also the camping grounds of the
New York Fire Zouaves near the
Cameron water works. The wall
around the Colross building enabled
some who were among the Pennsylvania
troops and others who were in the
Convalescent Camp to get their bear
ings. A number of the visitors en-
deavored in vain to fined the old slave
pen of Price, Burch & Co., which in
war times stood on the northwest corner
of Duke and Payne streets and was used
for guard house. They, however
soon ascertained that row of brick
dwelling houses now stand upon the
ground formerly occupied by that
historic building. TO many the new
City Hall and Masonic Temple were
strange structures from those upon
which their ewes gazed in war times.

A Warning to Parents.

That some of the many children who
are tempting Providence by their fool
hardy capers around electric cars are not
killed or crippled is the wonder of many
persons. They swarm around the trains
at the intersection of King and Royal
streets and in some instances have been
seen crawling under cars in search OF
pennies thrown by passengers while the
wheels of the cars were moving. On
south Royal street when the public
schools were dismissed at noon today
small bows were running across the
tracks in front of trains in close prox-
unity to them. Had one of the YOUNGSTERS

by the time the car was at King
and Alfred streets, however, and
apprehensiye lest she would be carried
to Washington jumped backwards and
fell into the street. Fortunately she
