SUICIDES NUMEROUS
FIGURES FOR THE PAST WEEK
DISEASE RECORD.

Suicides In the District of Columbia dur
ing the week ended last Saturday totaled
an unusually large number. This Is made
particularly prominent in the weekly report
of the health department, issued today, In
which attention is called to the fact that
four persons succeeded in taking their lives.
In the list of diseases typhoid fever, con-
sumption. apoplexy and diseases of the
heart ranked as the worst, each having
caused nine deaths. Unmarked increase in
the death rate is also noted in the report
there having been nineteen more fatalities
during the week ended October than there
were during the preceding seven days.
The full report follows:
The deaths occurring in the District of
Columbia during the week ended on Satur-
day. October Z, 1905, were III. This num-
Der is 10 more than the fatalities of the
previous week and % more than the CORE
spending period of 1904. OF these recent
deaths b6 were white and IS were colored,
representing a death rate of 15.1 per 1000
of the white population and 26.1 of the col
ored. The death rate for the entire popula-
ton of the District was 1873 per 1000. The
respective rates for the corresponding period
of 1904 were as follows: For the whites.
1874; for the colored, no. and for the en-
tire population, 1873.
List of Fatalities.
The prevailing diseases responsible for
deaths during the past week were as fol-
lows: Typhoid fever. diseases of the heart,
apoplexy and pulmonary consumption caused
deaths each; diarrheal diseases and pneu-
monia caused deaths each, and malignant
growths and diseases of the kidneys caused
seven deaths EACH There were four deaths
from suicide, which is an unusually large
number.
The number of reported cases of typhoid
fever 81 for the week, is IS cases less than
the number reported for the week before and
cases less than were reported during the
corresponding week of last year. There
We're 81 cases discharged, which reduces the
total number now under observation to 240
a net decrease of p cases for the week
Diphtherta, on the contrary, shows a con-
siderable increase in the number of cases
reported since the last report. There We're
IL new cases reported and but three dis
charged. This increases the number now
on hand to 81 cases under quarantine.
Scarlet fever cases were reduced from IL
to 0, there having been but one new case
reported and four discharged.
There were no new cases of smallpox re-
ported. One case recovered and was dis
charged from quarantine, which leaves but
one case now in the District of Columbia
There were 1873 births reported during the
week, of which 100 were white children and
80 colored
The weather conditions, as reported by the
weather bureau, were as follows: Mean
temperature, 81 degrees; mean relative hui
nldlty, 81 degrees; mean actual barometer,
2999 The winds were northerly In direc-
ton, averaging miles n hour, and reached
a maximum velocity of IA miles on the 9th

SEVERAL FIRE ALARMS.
Fire Department Kept Busy This
Morning.

The fire department was in demand this
morning three calls having been received
between and 10 o'clock. The first call
was received from box 326, and was sent
in because of blaze in the house of Mrs
Sophie Green, 2o15 M street northwest
1t was but a short time after the fire
started before the blaze was damaging
the contents of the house on the first and
second floors. The firemen managed to
get the blaze under control in short
time and were able to leave the scene of
the fire after about $500 damage had
been caused. An investigation was made
by the police of the third precinct but
they were unable to determine the cause
of the fire.
short time before the alarm was turn
ed in for the Nj street fire a call was re-
ceived from. box Il. This alarm was
sounded because of a fire scare in the
plant of the Georgetown Gas Company,
10Th and Canal streets, Georgetown. There
was slight explosion of gas, but no fire
was caused.
The overturning of an oil stove caused
a blaze in the home of Walter G. House.
II u L street northeast, about 9:3o o'clock
An alarm turned in from box 81 sum-
moned several companies of the fire de-
partment to the house, and the flames
were extinguished after about $50 dam
age had been caused.

A standard American Portland Cement
has the following composition:

A standard American Portland Cement
has the following composition:
Sill, ca=21.10 per cent; Alumina, SOL per
cent, Ferric Oxide, 3.2l per cent; Calcium
Oxide, 6l.62 per cent; Magnesium Oxide,
2.84 per cent; S%ulphuric Anhydride, 1862
per cent.
Ferric Oxide in Portland Cement prob
ably acts similarly to alumina, forming a
errate of lime which hydrates. The pres
ence of ferric iron makes It possible to|
calcine cement commercially, as in mix
lures containing too little iron the .tempera-
ture required is too high to attain probably
commercially. Some ferruginous. dement's
are especially resistant to sea water and for
hat reason are very valuable. NH,
Magnesia is now conceededto act similar
to lime, except{that it hydrates much slower
than. the lime compounds. In fact it is
found that the lime compounds ;hydratte
and attain q stony hardness, before the
magnesia compounds besinstKeir hydration.
This causes a change in volume in the
cement and consequent .3rupture.H s'sThe
highest permissible per cent Of magnesia in
Portland Cement in American practice is
placed at three per cent. Sulphuric acid is
present in cement usually in the form Of
gypsum or calcium sulphates. It's presence
lengthens the time Of setting and it is
added to cements up to two per cent in
many cases which have a tendency to set
too fast. In many instances it is present in
cement clinker, the sulphuric anhydride
formed from the sulphides in the material
uniting with some of the lime Other con-
stituents are accidental and in moderate
quantities have no particular influence.
The clinkering of cement requires q high
temperature ranging from 1900 to 10000
according to the composition. The mass
must be thoroughly clinkered, SO that al
complete chemical union Of all the lime
with the silica and alumina is assured,
otherwise q very inferior product is
produced. A formula much used in tho
United States for calculating cement mix.
lures is as follows:
(2.s Cao)s sion (2Cao)Al.0.
This corresponds in portions by weight
to one part of silica requires 2.61 parts Of
lime, or 4.66 parts of calcium carbonate,
and one part Of alumina requires two parts
of calcium carbonate.

LIE Chatter also found in some cements,
minor quantities of yellowish crystals,
opaque and showing situations under the
microscope, like plagioclase feldspar, which
he called felite. This substance is declared
by DR.. Passow to impair the hydraulicity
of the cement, in the proportion in which
it occurs, and indicates that the Cement is
too near the bisiicates, containing too much
clay.
Richardson identifies alitc and celtic in
Portland Clements but states that they are
solid solutions and not chemical compounds
as above stated. He states that alite is
tri-calcic illuminate dissolved in tri.calcic
silicate and that celtic is i.calcic illuminate
dissolved in di-calcic ~silicate. These solid
solutions are soluble completely in the
molten state but insoluble in the solid

Intense Interest in Story Of
New Road to Las Vegas
Phelps>Dodge People Differed As To Whether to Rulc
Directly Through This City Or Leave it
Twenty Miles Away.

Intense interest has been aroused in
the city by the announcement made by
The Optic last night of the decision of
the FL Paso & Southwestern COM
pany to build a railway from Dawson
to point below Santa Rosa. Many
citizens have studied the map Of New
Mexico since the announcement was
made and have been gratified to OBJ
serve that the line from Dawson to
the proposed junction with the South
western is almost straight one.
A few citizens had studied the map
before the announcement appeared
A half hour after the dispatch from
Ell Paso was received yesterday, two
prominent citizens repaired to The
Optic office to tell an important story
which they had been carefully guard
ing under absolute promise for week
but from which they had just been
released. The story was the same
that came from Ell Paso 1t is generally
felt here that General Manager Sim
mons would not have given out hot
air tale and it is known that an en-
gineering corps is in the field
Las Vegas daily optic. [volume] (Las Vegas, N.M.) 1880-1908, 1905-07-19

There is one point, however, that
may not be wholly settled, though the
announcement by the general manager
leads to the belief that it is. One or
two prominent officials Of the Phelps
Dodge company argue that it will be
better to build the proposed road
straight as an air line to Dawson, and
this would leave Las Vegas off the
main line by about twenty miles. A
branch would then be built to Las
Vegas. Other officials have all along
maintained that such course would be
foolish in the extreme. They say that
the road should run through country
that is capable of furnishing some bust.
ness, that it would be poor policy to
haul back to the mines empty cars on
every trip. They say that the road
through Las Vegas and the Mora val
ley would mean large freight and
passenger traffic.
1t is believed that, according to the
announcement made, this view has
prevailed. However, Las Vegas in.
terests will put up tremendous
struggle before they will see the main
line of road leave Las Vegas only
twenty miles away.
