Died at londonderry, New
Hampshire in the 9th year OF
her age, Mrs. Jennett Wilson, Re
lict of Mr.. James Wilson, whom
she survived 81 years.
Oppressed with an unusual
weight of years she ardently wish
ed for and cheerfully anticipated
the moment which should release
her from the ills incident to such
an advanced stage of life.
A firm reliance on the mercy of
God through the Gospel dispensa-
ton afforded patience, resigna-
ton and tranquility to the last
hours of her life.
AS an uncommon instance of
increase it is worthy of notice,
the descendants from her were -
children, 81 grand children, 146
great grandchildren and 10 great
great grandchildren, making in
whole 260 of whom are now living.

EAST END SUBURBS.
Business Transacted at Meeting of
Citizens Association.

Representative Gillette of Massachusetts
was criticized last evening at a meeting of
the East End Suburban Citizens Associa-
ton for the alleged holding up of the pro-
vision for an appropriation of $1,000 for the
opening of NJ street from Bladensburg road
to 2Sth street
A report was submitted setting forth the
inconvenience to which the travelling public
is subjected by reason of the overcrowding
of street cars. 1t was stated that the num-
Der of cars in service is not sufficient to
accommodate the, traffic on II street and
that for this reason intervals of long dura-
ton lapse between the passing of cars at a
given point. The secretary was directed to
lay the matter before the District Commits
sioners.
The attention of the Commissioners was
also called to the need of a sidewalk along
Bladensburg road to~the Hamilton School
building. Tea chers and children, it was
said, are compelled to walk through deep
mud for d distance of more than quarter
of mile
Steps are to be taken to carry out the
provisions of the act for the widening of
Bladensburg road, it was explained. Until
this is done it will be impossible for the
Washington, Gretta and Spa Spring Rail-
way Company to enter the city.

WORK IN PROGRESS.
Removal of the Old Wooden Long
Bridge Under Way.


The pile-driving machine, lighters, and
other paraphernalia that will be used in
the taking down of the old wooden Long
bridge, with a raft of pine piling for the
false work, were yesterday taken up to the
bridge from this city, and the work of tax
ing down the timbers is now In progress.
A temporary structure of piling is being
driven under the span at the District end
of the bridge, and on that false work the
span will be supported after the truss rods
are loosened and the big supporting tim
bers removed. Span by span the cd bridge
will be dismantled, and the timbers, 1t is
stated, will be stored on the Virginia side
to be converted into lumber by local
contractor, who has purchased the tim
Der.
The piers supporting the Long bridge
are to come down, those in the channel OF
the river and on both sides of it will be
removed to the river bottom but those on
the flats will only be taken down to low
wafer mark. 1t was planned to commence
the work of removing the old bridge two
months ago, but just about the time all ar
ransements for the work were completed,
tie freezing weather occurred, making 1t
impossible to use the pile driver about the
bridge and causing a postponement OF the
work until this time. 1t Is stated that
several weeks will be required to take
Gown the old wooden structure and re-
move the piers from the river. Relic-hunt-
ers in this city have asked for parts of
the old bridge, from which they will make
walking sticks and other souvenirs.
