Conductor J. E. Wilburn, was riding
on the top of a box car on one sec
tion of train No. Sc, and vile passing
through one of the deep and narrow
cnts near Riehlands, it is supposed
he was not paying attention TO the
whereabouts oflthe train and stood
too near the side OF the car. An over
hanging rock struck his head and
crushed it, spattering the side of the
cut with his brains. His body fell to
the ground by the side of the track,
and as his lantern was left on the car
and the light in il was shining it
was supposed by the other members
of the train crew that the young
man waa at his post of duty and il
was not until several stations were
passed that it became known that he
was missing. The remains of the un-
fortunate young man were brought
to tins city and taken to the under
taking establishment of w. S. Crock
EFT, where they were prepared for
burial, and taken to Salem, Va, on

RESPONSE TO QUERY.
Col. Biddle Discusses Matter Of 18th
Street Extension.

Col John Biddle, the Engineer Commits
sioner. has prepared a, statement which
will be sent to the Columbia Heights Citt-
zens Association in response to the reso-
luton calling upon the Commissioners to
expedite the Improvement Of 18th street
extended so as to enable the Washington
Railway and Electric Company to extend
it's 18th street line. Col. Biddle says:
"The grading Of 18th street was COM
pleted some time ago. but material has
fallen from the sides Of the cut. which will
he removed this spring and the cutters
completed, SO that all the surface drainage
will be taken care Of. There would seem
to be no good reason why the street rail-
road company should not go ahead as soon
as 1t desires, after giving the engineer
Office a months notice that 1t Is ready to
begin work. The Commissioners have no.
titled the company on several occasions
that the District will do it's part of the
work as soon as the company Is ready to
go ahead. and that the difficulties which
appear to be in the way are more super
fetal than real, as the street at the point
in question is in cut, and therefore the
ground should be solid.
THE Commissioners have notified the
railroad company that the work will be
done this spring, and that II the company
desires to begin work at once it viii be
entirely completed within a month
The company reported in February that
the street for portion Of the distance of
recent fill was wet. spongy and unsettled,
and incapable of supporting q double rail-
road track tube. THE character OF the
soil in that place. said Gen. Harries, the
vice president of the Anacostia and Poto-
mac River Railroad Company, has been
clearly shown by repeated slides and wash
outs. When the street surface has been
graded and the necessary drainage has been
attended to the company will be ready to
take up the question of an extension sur
vey."

WANT ORDER REscINDED.
Citizens Of South Sharon Want Sub
station.

A petition has been forwarded to Rep
reseutative Joseph C. Sibley OF Pennsylva-
MIA, signed by number of citizens OF
South Sharon, Pa, requesting that he ex-
ert his influence to have the recent order
of the Post Office blishing
a fourth-class post Office at that place re-
scinded. According to the statements of
the petitioners, since June last South Sha-
ron has been a free delivery substation
of the Sharon post Office, and the people
of the first-named place have enjoyed the
benefits Of two free deliveries and two col
lections of mail each day. On the principal
business street of the town, which has be-
tween 5000 and 1000 Inhabitants, three de-
iveries have been made daily The estab-
Nshment of fourth-class post Office at
South Sharon will cut off the free delivery
and the collection of mail, and the people
will be compelled to go to the post office
for their mail and postage stamps Some
of the people of South Sharon can reach
the Sharon post Office more conveniently
than that which is to be established in
their home town, site for which has al
ready been selected. Others of the citizens
of South Sharon can reach the post Office
at Wheatley, another suburban town, more
easily than the fourth-class post Office that
is to be established; therefore the receipts
of this Office will be small, and would not
warrant any hope for its being raised to a
second-class office with free delivery for
has been a substation OF the Sharon Office.
although free delivery was not established
until last June. The signers Of the petition
state that a majority of the residents Of
the place desire that it shall be continued
as q substation and not as a fourth-class
Office. When he recommended the estab-
lishment of the Office, 1t is said, Represen-
tative Sibley was not aware Of the violent
opposition to the change, and now that he
has been notified it is understood that eff
forts will be made to have the order re-
scinded and the town continued as a sub
tive Of the signers of the petition is in this
city, and called at the Post Office Depart
ment this morning to make an effort to Sc
cure the resembling of the order He will
visit Mr.. Sibley this afternoon, and will
probably bring that officials request to the
Postmaster General to have the order es-
tablishing fourth-class office annulled.
