,opuose Bridge from the Delaware.

A meeting of the Business Men AS
,sociation of Washington was held last
night. The most important business
was the passage of resolutions regarding
the railroad bridge now in course of con-
saruction by the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company, in substitution for the present
Long bridge across the Potomac. Gen.
J. f. Sickles, retired engineer of the
United States army, spoke in favor of
the bridge resolution, and explained the
desirabiity of having a bridge that
would harmonic with the proposed
highway bridge and the memorial bridge.
The resolutions, as unanimously passed,
oppose the plan of bringing bridge
now in use elsewhere and using it to
span the Potomac. The bridge Is one
of the old type, with trusses projecting
into the air above and on either side of
the track levels. The resolutions recite
that it is not in keeping with the general
scheme for the adornment of the Capital,
and Will be Constant eyesore to our
l. ,ndscqpe and constitute a disgraceiul
do ,arture from the splendid plan OF
odo,nn,ent Of Washington" Accord
inrly the be- 'ief is expressed that a
structure of pleasing architectural effect
can be erected for even less money than
that demanded by the bidders for the
obsolete and ugly type oi r"iiio"U
bridge" proposed.

A Narrow Escape.

Two little children narrowly escaped
being killed by south bound Southern
train on Henry street, near Cameron,
Yesterday evening. The children were
on pavement on the east side ofthe street
and thoughtlessly ran across the track
in front of the rapidly-moving train.
The engines pilot was about three feet
from them when they reached the west
side of the track. People who witnessed
the incident turned their headsin horror,
as they were sure the children would be
crushed to death. Complaint is made
that trains enter the city at too rapid a
rate for public safety.

and l went into gardening, | was sure to
have an attack of rheumatism and every
attack was more severe than the preced-
ing one," says Josie Mcdonald, of Man.
Logan county, West Virginia. 81 tried
everything with no relief whatever, until
| procured a bottle of Chamberlain
Pain Balm, and the first application
gave me ease, and before the first bot
tie was used / felt like a new person.
Now | feel that / am cured, but | al
ways keep bottle in the house, and
when l feel any symptoms of return
soon drive it away with one or two ap-
plications of this liniment." For sale

THE ST. LOUIS EXPOSITION.
WASHINGTON, D. c.


One of the greatest attractions from
scenic viewpoint, during the dedicatory
ceremonies of the st. Louis Exposition
next week, will be the monster display
of fireworks. Effects never before at
tempted in this country make up the
elaborate programme.
Gigantic fire-portraits of Washington,
Jefferson, Napoleon and Mckinley a
great portrait of President Roosevelt and
ex-President Cleveland will be seen in
mid air, illuminated by thousands of
brilliant lights. Among other features of
the pyrotechnic display will beset pieces
nearly half mile long, and the ascen-
sion of balloons requiring two or three
DAYS to initiate. One of these balloons
will carry an order for a season pass to
the fair, which will be issued to the
person presenting it to the management
at st. Louis.
The installation of the great plant
which is to furnish the electric lighting
has involved great work. The plant
is to be situated in the machinery build
ing which has been rooted for the protec-
ton of the machinery. The gigantic
machines stand forty-fye feet above the
ground, and the illumination Of the
entire exposition will be distributed
from one monster switchboard. The
plant consists OF four $500 horsepower
vertical cross compound engines.
In the electric display an effort will be
made to present an entirely different
picture of the exposition by night, so
that two distinct artistic compositions
will be presented to visitors. By day
the columns which form the colonades
around the central avenue will be The
most noteworthy feature of the main
picture. At night these columns will bt
silhouetted darkly against walls of light.

The Docks.

One OF the dredging machines be-
longing to John Miller is at work at the
Standard Oil Company's dock at this city
dredging it out, so that the oil-laden
barges can get to and from the wharf
without difficulty. A wreck of large
barge lying on the piles of an old wharf
lust north of Alexandria has caused an
eddy and is filling up some of the docks
along the river front. Constant dredg-
ing is now necessary at many of the
wharves at the upper end Of this city to
allow vessels Of moderate draft to get IN
and out Of the docks.

The Market.

There was a more abundant supply
of country produce in market this morn
ing than on last Saturday, and there
was also a noticeable increase in the
number of buyers. There was an
abundance of seasonable vegetables, as
well as of butter and eggs. Butter was
quoted as SOc per pound, but some
sales we're made at 25c. Eggs ranged
from 16 to 1Sc per dozen. The butchers
had average supplies of fresh meats, and
the fish benches had large and fine
varieties, including some of the largest
rockfish seen hereabouts for a number
of wears.
