A Dangerous Place.

The east end of the Wilkes street tun-
mel is in need of immediate attention,
and the Southern Railway Company
which has made cut through the square
running from Lee to Union street, thus
virtually appropriating it to themselves,
should be compelled Immediately to
place substantial safeguard on the
crest Of the high embankment at the
northeast corner of Wilkes and Lee
streets. Present conditions are exceed
ingIy dangerous, as part If the frail
fence erected some years ago has been
demolished. and sooner or later child
will make a mistep, roll down the in
cline to the railroad track probably in
front of a train and another distressing
accident similar to that of last week will
follow. There should be something
more substantial than an open-tence oil
the cheapest and fimsiest style under
which children can crawl or roll. A
wall similar to that at the west end OF
the tunnel should be required OF the
COMPANY. or an iron fence. NJthlng
uusiehtly should be tolerated. This is
a matter which should enlist the i'm
mediate attention of the authorities oil

Latest Fish Story.

Mr.. and Mrs. George NJ. Coe and Mr.

who were fishing in the Potomac near
Aouoduct bridge, tell Of wonderful
s,ccies of fish which they saw. ABOUT
FIVE feet in length, bulky, black ana
sleek, like an eel, it rose ten feet out OF
the water. twisted itself in the air, and,
falling back into the river, disappeared,
ompanied by great co nmotlon OF
the water. Twice within few seconds
the strange creature repeated the per-
formance, and, according to spectators,
40 great was the fear of the thing that
all fishermen in small boats promptly
left the river and gave the thing all the
room it required for its strange exercises.
at was about clock when this thing
appeared the first time" said Mr.. Coe,
'iand / could hardly believe my eyes. 1t
looked more like large barrel painted
black than anything | could compare 1t
with. But it was certainly alive, for 1t
splashed about at terrific rate, making
large waves that rocked the canoes until
there was danger Of capslzing."
This monster of the deep which has
made its way into fresh water, il seems,
passed by Alexandria without making
its presence known. II may, however,

by the Southern Railway. Lynchburg

President Roosevelt; is anxious for the
CESSATION of hostililies in the far East

his career, is well-known. Sir Mortimer
Durand will return to Washington
