REGARDING A DRIVEWAY.
John II. Magruder Wants to Construct
One on Parking

John H. Magruder has requested of the
Commissioners permission to construct a
driveway on the parking ON the Connecti-
cut avenue side of the proposed new build
ing at the northwest corner of Connecticut
avenue and K street northwest. Engineer
Commissioner Biddle has recommended
that Mr.. Magruder be informed that while
the Commissioners appreciate the fact that
he desires to construct a building which
will cause as little inconvenience as pos
sible to the public and as little damage as
possible to the use of X street as a resi-
dence street, they are not able to ap-
prove his plan for driveway on the park
ing for the purpose of receiving goods.
There have been numerous cases on ave-
nues much less used than Connecticut ave-
nue., where this action has been refused,
and 1t would not be consistent with pre-
yious rulings. nor would 1t be, in the opin-
ion of the Commissioners, desirable to have
wagons stop on the sidewalk for unloa ding.
If the unloading itself could be done on
the property of Mr.. Magruder there would,
of course, be no objection to his having
the driveway reach his property.
Later. Mr.. Magruder stated that he would
done within the lines Of his own property.
Engineer Commissioner Biddle thereupon
moved to his associates that that arrange
ment might be approved by the Commits
sionerS with the distinct understanding
that no wagons shall be loaded or un-
loaded on the sidewalk or the parking.
The general arrangement of paving as
proposed by Mr.. Magruder is also ap-
proved.

POISON IN CHAMPAGNE.
New Workers Escape Death by Merest
Chance.

work attempting to discover mysteri.
Gus person who sent to John c. Fisher.
a well known theatrical manager Of
this city, a quart bottle of champagne
charged with enough hydrocyanic acid
and strychnine to kill instantly 100
men.
II was only by the merest chance
that Mr.. Fisher and friends escaped
death. The bottle was opened and
the contents poured into glasses be-
fore it was noticed that it had a pecu-
liar look and smell
Mr. Fisher had the contents Of the
bottle analyzed and 1t was found that
the wine contained 2.O11 grains OF
hydrocyanic acid to the fluid ounce
and 22.4564 grains Of strychnine, or
enough Of the two poisons to have pro-
duced sudden death had any of the
champagne been even touched to the
tongue.
A young and handsome woman fig
ures conspicuously in the case. Ac-
cCrding to creditable information this
young woman took the poison package
warded it in person.
A motive has been established and
1t duplicates a woman and possibly a
man. Whom Mr.. Fisher suspects he
will not say at this time, but he init
mates that developments may be eX
pected any day in Chicago.

The report sent out from Chicago
that the trainmen of the Chicago and
Alton have decided to go on a strike
unless their demand for an increase in
wages is agreed to by the officials of
the road has no foundation In fact.
There has been no proposition to
strike submitted to the employees of
the system and there can be no strike
unless the employees authorize it by
twO-thirds vote. The committee rep
resenting the conductors and trainmen
is comforting with the general officers
OF the railroad company as to rules
and wages governing their employ
ment, and there is every reason to be-
lieve they will reach an amicable
agreement"

New York, March 1.-THE general

temporary one. At the last election

dates and the discomfort which pre-
walls all over Germany is constantly
bringing new recurits to the Social IN
