ed down the ordinance.
Mr.. Bartel Explains.

Mr.. Bartel, before the reconsider
alton of the ordinance in question,
made a brief statement as to why he
had voted it at the last council meet
ing. He stated that at that time he
thought the ordinance was for the best
interests of the city but after he had
learned of the stand taken by General
Manager Reynolds he was irrevocab-
ly in favor of it being put SO soundly
to sleep that it would never awake
again.
Against Glen Route.
Councilman Englebert stated that
he was not in favor of the North
Twenty-third street line as it would
go through the park. Mr.. Englebert
demanded to know if there was such a
street as Twenty-third street. but he
was assured by President Merrill of
the board that there is such a street.
Mr.. Englebert then stated that he be-
Heved the traction company really did
want to run through the park and
that the stand it had taken against
the Twenty-third street route was on
1y bluff TO make the city compel it
TO run through the park He also de-
MED the statement that has been
made that the citizens of Richmond
favor the Twenty-third street route
Mr.. Englebert, who has been long
known as the Watch Dog of the
Glen" remarked with much heat that
if the traction question was put to a
vote of the people the Glen Miller
route would be defeated by a vote of
90 to 1.
Local interests United
Now that council has Joined the To-
cal shippers in lining up solidly be-
hind the board of public works in its
fight for the Twenty-third street
freight car route it is thought the
traction officials will see a shining
light and promptly alght from its high
horse.

DEAD FROM GAS POISONING.
Body of Mrs. Harriet B. Bruce, Col
ored, Found in Bathroom.

Dead from gas poisoning Mrs. Harriet
Z. Bruce, colored, forty years old. a
school teacher in the Wilson school. was
found in the bathroom of her home at
1888 Linden street northeast yesterday
morning. The body was removed to the
morgue and the coroner was notified. He
gave a certificate in accordance with the
facts.
Mrs. Bruce. who is reported to have
been eccentric. lived alone on Linden
street For several days past her neigh
bors did not see her about the house, and
this morning reported the matter to the
police of the ninth precinct for investiga-
ton. Policemen J. f.. Wilson and J. A.
Thomas were sent to her home and gained
an entrance through a rear window.
The bathroom in the house was found
to be locked from the inside. and as Mrs
Bruce could not be found elsewhere in the
house, the door was forced open, and her
body, fully dressed. was found in the
room. 1t was discovered, upon investiga-
ton, that Mrs. Bruce had put a quarter
in the gas meter in the room and per-
mitted the gas to escape. The jet in the
room was found to be turned on, but the
amount of gas Cor the amount of money
deposited had been exhausted.
Mrs. Bruce is said to have been in i'll
health for some time.

DANGEROUS FIRETRAP.
Old Government Printing Office
Building Said to Be a Menace.

That the old government printing office
building is fire trap and is dangerous
to life and property will be the SUBJ
stance of a report to Congress the com
ing winter upon expert testimony. For
twenty years it has alternately been con-
demned, braced and patched up. and con-
demned again. and now the new building
is in danger, it is said. from the liability
of serious fire affecting lives and the
valuable machinery.
Jackson alley. along the north side
of the new printing office, is stated to
be but thirty feet wide, and a serious
fire in the old structure would soon COM
municate to the large amount of paper
in use on nearly every floor. 1t is under
stood the public printer will bring the
matter to the attention of Congress in
his report. and also mention the necessity
for a suitable plant for the execution of
photo-lithOgraphing.
Millions of volumes of cd government
publications are stored in the old printing
office and although there would not be
great pecuniary loss if they were de-
stroyed. the superintendent of public docu-
ments has said he expects to collect much
more than enough to pay for their dis
tribution. The valuable library attached
to the superintendent office will soon be
