Communicate
AN INJUSTICE TO THE PUBLIC.
Eaif0r Of EVenine CabilaI

Eait0r Of EVeHiHg CaPffaI.'
1t would seem to The writer that a
great injustice has been done the travel.
ing pubic, particularly 10 this city ano
county, ana TO the Short Line Railroad
by the action OF the Legislature in voting
down the proposition 10 have the Gov
ernor appoint a competent engineer to
inspect the bridges of this railroad and
report the result OF such inspection to
the Legislature.
The wrong has been done to the pub.
lie, in the fact that for yeaIs it has been
rumored that the bridges of this railroad
were in weakened or decaying condi-
tion. Heretofore the writer has ielt thai
there was never any basis for these ru-
mors, ard. that the management of this
railroad would not daie TO risk the lives
Of It's patrons on a bridge that was not
absolutely safe.
Here was the opportunity of the rail-
road and the pubic to set at rest this
question, and give those compelled to
use this line a feeling OF security, at 10
cost whatever to the railroad company
In looking over this subject questions
will come to ones mind. Did the Anne
Arundel delegates represent the senti-
menls OF this community In voting sgains!
this resolution
In what way did they seek to ascer-
tain this sentiment, or did they only e.
press the wishes OF the railroad company
II the railroad company wanted this bill
defeated. which placed them at no ex-
pense, we're they afraid 10 submit their
bridges to the inspection OF a compe.
lent engineer : II the bridges will not
stand the inspection, are the bridges safe
to travel over
This is subjsctthe public is entitled
to know and have settled, and not after
some terrible accident, like the one which
oecurrt in the New York Central tunnel.
Warnings and complaints were made
about the situation in this tunnel for
years, vet no remedy was offered until
the accident-when it was too late.
Respectfully.

 Of Mrs. Hamilton. who. d9sbFgT his errant fancies, wore his lovc--oeni for half a century upon her widowed bosom, Mrs. Atherton gives a most charming and sympathetic account.
 While such strong contrasts as Talley- rand's description, T have seen the eighth wonder of the world. I have seen the man who made the fortune of na- ton toiling all night to supply his family with bread" and the humor and tender ness and boyish abandon of his domes- tic life are very appealing and pathetic and form the most delightful reading. And her descriptions of the duel and of the deathbed scene are thrillingly dra- matic and touching. as fine in their re- straint and simplicity as they are intense in their tragedy. "The Conqueror' Is an exceptionally strong anu vigorous piece of work It bears ready evidence of the authors untiring energy and zeal for historical data also, not only a com prehensive grasp of her subject but of the verp spirit of the time which she writes. In this respect it is a really stu pendous piece of work.
 She has a bold, energetic, vivacious style which is very fascinating, with conciseness of diction and expression of thought that congresses a vast amount upon It's pages. For this reason The Conqueror" cannot be read rapidly, but demands time for its thorough perusal.
