Falls is the prospect Of securing from Con-
sress at the coming session the right 10
cross strip of street only few feet wide,
but sufficient to make il possible To gain n
much coveted connection with tho Cauital
Traction line At present the company h,s
authority from Congress to lay its tracks
and run its cars across the bridge and into
the soil of Georgetown along -aith street 20
point south OF Prospect street This will
bring the terminus of the road into a sort
ot a pocket on the west Of the traction sta.
ton building. Although the distance from
the Capital Traction tracks is a short one
IL Is absolutely necessary for the company
10 gam the sanction of Congress before {

The purpose is announced 10 ask perm!s-
SION To use the tracks OF the Capital Tric-
tlon Company through Georgetown and

struct an entirely new line along NJ street
t. the east and then using the tracks OF th,,
other companies freely reach the new uni,r,
station and thence to the east boundaries

1t is the opinion Of those who arc familiar
with the situation that both OF the street
railroad companies operating the lines In
the District will oppose with all their
power giving II another street railway
company foothold in this District and 1t
IL expected the contest viii br one OF the

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

In addition to obtaining the right of way
the company that proposes to build an
electric railroad from Georgetown across
the Aqueduct bridge to the Great Falls
has bought tract of some forty acres of
ground at the upper end of the line. This
property was acquired for the purpose of
providing a place for the terminal of the
road. and 1t adiOins on the north and west
the much larger tract which Is owned by
the Great Falls Power Company. This
holding of the Old Dominion Railroad Com
pany lies opposite the end of the govern
ment dam and consists mainly Of a large
and varied assortment of rocks On that
side of the Potomac. especially in the vi
cinity of the Great Falls. the stones and
rocks are in greater evidence than the soil.
However the land was not bought for
agricultural purposes although those who
negotiated the sale with the owners came
to the conclusion that the land must have
some value which was not apparent, for
the price paid was $40 and $40 per acre.
The owners made it understood that the
price was made low in order to favor the
proposed enterprise 1t is not expected the
actual construction of this road will be be-
gun before the coming fall and even at
that time much will depend upon the prog
reSs made by the District Commissioners in
the reconstruction of the Aqueduct bridge.
1t Is possible that some arrangements can
be made with the power company to obtain
the electric current needed 10 operate the
proposed road According to the plans a
temporary power house is to be built to fur
niSh the current to carry on the extensive
operations in connection with the erection
of the big power plant. A race is to be
built by the power company a mile and a
half long. and most of the way through
solid rock. 1t is proposed to make use of
one of the streams that flows into the Po-
tomac to furnish the power that will be
needed in carrying on the work. and it is
estimated the Surplusage will be sufficient
to operate the cars between Georgetown
and the Great Falls. Thus far no actual
work has been done at the Great Falls in
addition of course to the survey and the
preparation of the plans. except the clear
ing of the proposed sites for the turbine
wheels and the course of the race.

SAM'L DOUGAL HANGED
MoAT HOUSE MURDERER DIED
ON GALLoWs AT CHELMSFORD.

LONDON. July 14-Samuel Herbert
Dougal, the perpetrator Of the Moat House
murder. who was convicted at the Chelms-
ford assizes, June %. of the killing of Miss
Camille Cecile Holland at Saffron Walden,
Essex and sentenced to death, was hanged
at the Chelmsford Jail at s o'clock this
morning. after making full confession OF
his crime.
Story of the Crime.
The Moat House murder. as it was
known. was committed over four years ago,
and hope of solving the mystery had almost
been given up when the body of the vic
tim. Miss Holland, was found last April
buried IN the Moat, House grounds.
MISS Holland was the owner of Moat
House. About four years ago DougaI who
was supposed to be her husband but who
it was discovered subsequently. had never
been married TO her. made his appearance
there, and Miss D0Ugal. supposed to be his
sister. took up her residence on the place.
Miss Holland then disappeared suddenly.
and Dougal sued the woman supposed to be
his sister, but who really was his wife, for
divorce.
This aroused suspicion and led to an in
NeStlSaton.. DOugal was arrested for cash
ing check purporting to have been signed
by Miss Holland. and while he was in Gus
tody the body of Miss Holland, for which a
thorough, but unsuccessful search had been
made, was accidentally found by a laborer
In an old ditch which had been planted
over with shrubs nearly four years pre-
viously. The lahorer struck his fork into a
hard substance. which proved to be a wo-
mans shoe containing woman's foot.
Then Miss Hollands body was found living
face downward.
An examination showed that the head
had been pierced by d bullet which was
found in the skull.
DOUgal WAS suspected of having made
away with al least five wives

a small boy bumped into him In front or NO lSo
Broadway yesterday. Emmanuel H. Kern. a mes
senger for the Union Exchange National Bank, at

pistol and took it away from Kern, prevented what
might have been tragedy. for Kern later ad-
mitted he excited and thought he was about

Bank of Commerce They received $4,000 In a
small satcheI to take to the National Park Bank.
They walked I'd the east side of Broadway and
went underneath a sCafolding built in front of the
building No. 19S Broadway, which is in course Of
erection The sidewalk under the scaffolding Is
narrow. and the two bank messengers squeezed be-
tween two boys. separating them. One lad tried TO
get to the side of his companion, and brushed
against Kern he passed him.
Kern according to his own admission struck one
of the boys in the face knocking him down The
latter got up and knocked off kern's hat Several
gathered around and began to cheer the boy,
telling him to hit the messenger again Kern sud
denly drew a revolver which he pointed at the lad
Roberts says he saw the messenger holding the
revolver, and rushed at him. He seized the re-
volver, and the time PatrOlman Thompson.
of the Old Slip station also arrived and arrested
the messenger.
