CONSTRUCTION STOPPED.
Work on Washington-Baltim Elec-
trio Line Pauses-Money Needed.

The Baltimore American says:
Construction the new electric road
which has been building between Baltimore
and Washington by Cleveland, Ohio, syn
dictate has been stopped in part. The con-
tract with Tally & Allen, contractors, of
Washington, D. c.. has been Cancelled, and
this puts end for time to portion of
the work of construction.
Tally & Aleu- who have been grading the
line between the two cities, about half of
the work having already been completed.
stopped all operations on Saturday evening.
at that time the men who have been en-
ployed on the work were Informed that the
stoppage was due to inability the
part of the syndicate building the line to
float the entire bond issue.
Mr.. Frank Gosnel. who, with Mr. William
l.. Marbury. represents the syndicate in
Baltimore, when asked concerning the mat
ter stated that the contract with
Tally & Allen had been Cancelled, but that
this action was agreeable to the contract
ors. He stated that the action was due
to the stringency of the money market, and
that the close down was only in part, a
work would still be continued on the ma
sonry construction and upon the power
house at Hyattsville. Mr.. Gosnell further
stated that he was unaware just what pro-
portion of the bond issue of the syndicate
had been foated
In speaking of the effect of the stoppage
of the grading work by Tally g. Allen. Mr.
Gosnell said that the delay would be but
temporary, as there would be a resumption
of full operations as soon conditions
warranted ii, and that meantime other con-
struction work would go along quietly. Mr.
Gosnell, in answer to a question, aCknowl-
edged that the contract between Tally Sc
Allen and the syndicate had been entirely
closed. and that when work was resumed 1t
might be by another contractor
There have been number of rumors con-
corning the road and its purposes. One OF
| the most interesting of these was that Col.
MyrOn T. Herrick, now the nominee for
| governor of Ohio, and who was closely iden-
| titled with the negotiations here for the
| sale of the citys interests in the Western
| Maryland railroad, was interested In the
electric road project. This sled to the as
| sumption in some quarters that the real
| purpose of the road to Washington was to
1 secure an entrance to that city for the
| Gould system after the Wabash reaches
| Baltimore for its tidewater terminal.
| Mr.. Gosnell. when spoken to concerning
| this story, stated that ii was untrue. and
| that the road was being constructed, as an
| nounced for an electric system.

hannon first mate Charles Hollis. an

a revolver, which he fired at Hollis twice
on returning to the deck.
= Mate BohannOn, who was attracted by
the shots. ran out on deck and attempted
to disarm the drink-crazed man. During

Mr.. parneiille ceemplimented.

From the New Gentry. . n All
We hear good deal occasionally of the
insolence of office, and the long suffering
public has prettx14goea reason for COM
plants of observation-disclosures at the
hands Of its well paid servants. But there
are others whose confederation and pa
tient good nature, .serysnto counterbalance
the brusque impertinenae which is some
times found in government and municipal
functionaries For instance. The Round
Table man. having oceafton to visit on bus
mess the office Of The jDtytrict assessor sew
eral times recently. wis very much I'm
pressed BY the pSfits aR 81 I'd considerate at
place. but none ofuthe Clerks are ever too
busy to fail in cdurteotisly furnishing all
the information NEEDED by those who do
not understand the complexities of the Dis
trict assessment system. And 1t is but JUS
tice to the head Of the Office to say that
this is a reflex of his methods Of doing
business and the kindly patience with
which he listens to those whose own mis-
takes may have brought them into trouble.
And so when we proceed to grumble, as is
our right, about the haughtiness OF our
officials. we shall always except this end
of the District offices.
