NATIONALS HOME IMPROVED.
Additional Bleacher Seats Provided
and New Exits Planned,

If the present plans of the Washington
Base Ball Club officials go through with
out hitch the home of the Nationals will
be given several important improvements
by the time the team returns from its west
ern trip which will doubtless be appreciated
by the patrons of the sport.
The most important Improvement will be
the erection of an addition to the bleacher
seats in right field, by which 500 more Of
the enthusiasts can be accommodated. This
addition will run along the foul line to the
fence. and take in all the space between
the line and the east end of the stand The
club officials have all along been anxious to
accommodate the bleacher patrons in every
way possible, but do not want to transgress
on the playing field, and Ihereby make it so
short as to turn all tNo-base hits into
home runs, as in the olden days.
Another Improvement will be for the pa
irons of the grand stand. The runway at
the rear of the stand has become too small
for the patrons who desire to get away as
soon possible after a game and to ac-
commodate this class two stairways will be
built directly under the right and left wings
These openings will take away about
twenty-five seats on each side, but this loss
will be made up in the appreciation of the
patrons.
This especially applies to those who drive
to the park or go out in automobiles. BY
these exits these people can reach their
vehicles in quick order. These stairways
cannot be used as entrances, but only an
exits. An additional exit from the park for
teams is also under contemplation, and
may be provided by the time the team re-
turns home. The exit will be built directly
In the rear of the left wing of the grand
stand and go out through the stable yard
of the hotel onto 7th street. This will shut
OF the crush at the regular exit.
The bleacher patrons are also to be
looked after in the matter of additional ex-
it's. Heretofore these patrons have had to

one time it was thought he would throw
down the scheme, and If he had done so
the commission would have been compelled
to offer more liberal terms. for there was
no competition. No one but Mr.. Mcdonald
ever took the trouble to inquire into the
details Notwithstanding the efforts Of the
commission to arouse interest.
Belmont Alone Had the Nerve.
August Belmont had faith, however. and
agreed to finance the contract. He put up
81, 100000 security for proper construc-
ton and 100000 as a permanent bond
to protect the city for fifty years against
mismanagement in the operation. The
stock and bonds of the PETERBOROUGH COM
pany, to which Mr. Mcdonald assigned his
interests, the market and are con-
sidered good investment The city Will
receive annually. in round numbers, 81, 5OO,-
600 from the marlborough company 1t
has already received S358COO for the first
six months interest on 100000
bonds and l per cent for sinking fund
which viii wipe out the principal in forty
years. In other words, the municipality
of New York advanced Mr. Mcdonald and
his associates the money to build the tun-
nels and leased them the property for nifty
years at a rental equivalent to per cent
of their cost.
Since the original contract was made the
same people have obtained second con-
cession for four miles of underground road
in Brooklyn, which is practically COM
pleted. The terms of the second contract
not SO liberal. Instead of furnishing
all of the money, the city loaned its credit
for only one-fifth of the estimated cost
and the contract runs for thirty-fve in
stead of fifty years. The next contracts
to be let will be still better terms for
the city, and new and very important
feature will be included 1t should have
been made a part of the first concession.

vision must be made for open galleries to

DETROIT, Mich, May 1S.-"This Is just
about the luck that l feared before we
started on the western trip" said Manager
Stahl last evening. Even when We were
playing poor ball last season We always got
mixed up In close and exciting games in
Detroit, and ON the strength Of this were
a good drawing card here. With our bet
tered position in the race 1t was natural to
look forward to some good games and some
good crowds in this city. / had a Fremont
ton that we would get bad weather here
and 1t Is coming true Detroit is one of our
good towns, in every sense, and. of course,
this is where we had to have hard luck
strike u.s."
AS on Tuesday, 1t looked up to a few min
utes before game time yesterday as If the
clubs would play. Detroit worked out for
two hours in the forenoon, and the field was
excellent. At noon the rain came down in
torrents. 1t held up an hour before the
time for play, but by that time the diamond
was hopeless Late In the afternoon there
was sunshine. This morning 1t looks as
promising as it did yesterday, and there
are hopes that game will be played. XII
liam and Patten will pitch If the teams
clash.
The Nationals were held to the hotel most
of the day and evening, though a number
of the boys took in the theater.

PENNsY ExONERATED.
Held Blameless for Recent Disaster at
Harrisburg

a dispatch from Harrisburg. Pa, says:
The coroners jury returned verdict yes
terday afternoon holding the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company blameless for the South
Harrisburg disaster in which twenty-five
persons lost their lives and 149 persons
were injured.
The jury took testimony Wednesday and
yesterday rendered it's verdict, which fol-
lows in part:
pany and its employees were not guilty of
any negligence by reason of which the &C
cident occurred"
The jury found the cause Of the accident
was the result of applying the air brakes
to the freight train in order to stop it
SO that 1t would not collide with the shift
ing engine. THE shifting crew, with its
train. was properly on the track the YER
dict says and SO far as the jury can learn.
were guilty of no negligence"
The jury found also that by reason of ap-
plying the air brake on the freight train,
two cars of the said train, one of which
contained 200G0 pounds of Rock Chief blast
ing powder were thrown to the west
bound track just as the Cleveland and Gin
cinnati express was going westward, and
ran into the two cars. Fire from the engine
of the passenger train set fire to the powder
and caused terrible explosion. which, to-
gether with fire from some unknown source,
burned all passenger and Pullman ears
The jury says that the freight train was
properly equipped with air brakes, and that
no human agency could have stopped the
passenger cars from running into the wreck.

says: While rejecting irregularities

south, high water In centra. western
rivers and poor conditions q country
roads generally. the volume Of dis.
tributive trade and the movement OF
industry hold interest recorded last
week. The tenor Of advicei is even
better. Retail trade at the large cit.
les is livening up as spring advances.
Crop reports, especially from winter
wheat. are increasingly favorable.
notably in the southwest. Railway
earnings reflect a heavy grain move.
ment, a large movement Of iron and
allied products and heavy merchan.
disc shipments in an increase OF 8
per cent for the first Ealf of March,
Money has hardened az a number OF
cities, but collections still lag.
Especially active lines Of trade are
dry goods, shoes and clothing notably
at the west. Lumber, hardware. paints
and oils reflect the approach Of an &C.
tive building season, and hides and
leather are active and firmer at lead,
ing western and eastern markets.
Farm machinery ard implement deal.
ers report demand active in the north.

The really remarkable feature in
current industry is, however, the con.
tinuance of the heretofore heavy in.
quiry for all kinds Of iron and steel,
crude ard finished. Light On this mat.
ter Is furnished by reports that rail.
road building this year will be the
heaviest for years. Opinion Is in
creasing that present insistent de.
mand may force prices higher and be.
yond the line Of safety. because of
encouraging reports and paving the
way for congestion in supplies later.
