Accidents to River Graft.

The tug Rosalie, belonging to the Smoot
Sand Company of this city, which was
caught in Piscataway creek during the blow
Friday and Saturday morning last, and was
left almost high and dry by the falling
away of the water, remained on the ground
until Saturday evening when the tide arose
sufficiently to allow her to be worked out
of the creek into the deeper water of the
river.
AS a result of the very low water scow
belonging to A. Dean of Alexandria, and
used as tender to a dredging machine. lies
in the Eastern branch with foot or two of
water over her. She was anchored on the
channel bank, and when the tide fell she

and flowed through an open hatch, and she
filed. 1t is said she will be raised this after
noon or tomorrow. The tug Baby, one of the
towboats belonging to the Columbia Ma
tional Dredging Company of this city. had
narrow escape from a similar accident.
The tug was berthed in dock in the
branch on the edge of deep water. When the
tide fell she heeled over and would have
filed and sunk had not light scow been
run in the dock alongside her. and so made
fast as to hold the tug up until the tide
came back and she doated on even keel
again.
1t Is stated that the tide was lower in

VOICE OF UNDER WORLD
BoWERY MEN SPEAK IN FIFTH
AVENUE CHURCH PULPIT.

NEW YORK, December 1O.-The Col
legiate Church Of st. Nicholas, the church
of Helen Gould and Mrs. Russell Sage was
filled with men and women Of wealth and
social prestige last night to listen to the
story OF the gospel from the lips of con-
verted Bowery outcasts
1t came. a curious and critical congre-
CATION, prepared to be shocked rather than
thrilled; it sat in silent wonder through
the most impressive religious service ever
held in the shadow of Millionaires' Row
and went home amazed by the power Of
mems testimony to hold spellbound this
ultra-conservative church of 9th avenue.
When the Rev. Donald Sage Mackay an
nounced that he had invited the converts
of the Jerry McAuley Mission, No. 81
Water street, to aid him in conducting a
revival, the officers Of his church were
alarmed-to put 1t mildly. Dr. Mackay had
to promise that there would be nothing
sensational" before he received any support
for his experiment.
Greenback Offering.
There was nothing sensational unless
it was the deep impression made by the
former outcasts of the Bowery and the en-
thusiasm with which DR.. Mackay's parish
toner's crowded about him at the close of
the services and asked him that the work
fit of the Jerry McAuley Mission, and there
were more greenbacks on the plates than
the Bowery mission sees in a year.
John H. Wyburn, superintendent of the
Jerry McAuley Mission. was introduced as
"a child of the mission and successor of
that apostle of God Samuel H. Hardey.''
You wouldn't take me for ex-tank,"
said Mr.. Wyburn, but one thing that God
does is to remove the marks of sin from our
faces. This afternoon man in the mission
hestated to come to the altar because he
had bottle of whisky in his pocket. He
went out and threw away the whisky and
then came and was saved. I didn't have
a bottle in my pocket when / went into
the Jerry McAuley Mission, but 1 was full
clear up to the neck"
Mr. Wyburn then related the story of
his fall from a prosperous business man to
an outcast. He took to drink when trouble
came. A friend sent him to Superintendent
Hadley of the mission, and Wyburn went,
hoping to borrow $40 to buy more drink.
Beastly drunk, his heart was touched, and
from that day he had had no more desire
to drink He reformed, prospered In BUSH
ness and devoted his time to saving Others

IN STATE OF UPHEAVAL
CONDITION OF SOUTHWEST SEC
TIcN OF HE CITY.

An uncomfortable winter is said to be
before the residents of Southwest WASH
ington, especially those who have occasion
to use Maryland avenue or the intersecting
streets
The scene Of active operations on the
terminal and grade crossing work has been
shifted from the northeast to the south.
west section Of the city.
Citizens of South Washington are now
experiencing the Inconvenience due to
work on the elimination of Washington's
grade crossings. and delegations from that
section are now frequent visitors at the
District building unfolding their troubles
much the same as was the case last winter
when the visitors were from Northeast
Washington.
In the northeast section the work in prog
ress, other than the work on the union
station buildings. power house, and express
building. is solely that of the railroad COM
pany putting on such finishing touches as
are necessary prior to the operation Of
trains over the new lines; all the streets
have been changed In grade and are paved,
and the Inconvenience due to the construc-
ton are things Of the past In the south
west section, however, the troubles have
just commenced and the work at the pres
ent time Is at the stage where the incon-
veniences to the citizens are the greatest,
and to the average resident it looks like
confused mass Of hosting engines, der
ricks, swearing foremen, dirty workmen,
and struggling teams mingled with piles
of dirt, deep holes in the ground, and semi
completed masonry walls, from which state
Of chaos any semblance of order would be
impossible to obtain. To the practiced eye
of the engineers, however, the great work
is progressing with unusual rapidity, and
those in charge Of the Districts interests
are satisfied with the progress to date.
Along Maryland Avenue.
The work along Maryland avenue is be-
ing done by the Drake & Stratton Com
pany, contractors for the Pennsylvania
railroad, and consists in elevating the rail-
road tracks as far west as 9Th street, and
from that point westward the tracks will
be below the surface of the streets, the
intersecting roadways crossing the railroad
right Of way on bridges
The work Of bringing 7th street one of
the busiest thoroughfares of the city, to
considered by the District engineers as one
of the most difficult pieces of work in con-
nection with the terminal project. The pres
ence of the 7th street car line and the
necessity of keeping 1t in continuous opera
ton adds to- the difficulty. The cars Wa,
be operated over the line of the work by
the overhead trolley instead of the under
point. The street will be lowered nine
feet and the railroad will cross on a steel
bridge.

The following streets will go under the
