FOR FREE RIGHT OF WAY.
Wanted Through 0ccoquan Tract for
Gould Railroad.

The Commissioners Of the District of
Columbia probably will be asked to rec
ommend to Congress that the Gould rail-
road interest be given a free right of way
across the Occoquan workhouse tract.
The proposed electric railroad to run
from Richmond to Washington, to be
built by the Goulds, will have a station
at Fredericksburg. Va. and from there
the road will run to Washington either by
way of Manassas or by way Of Occoquan.
Farmers and merchants of Occoquan
and vicinity are anxious to get the road
to run through Fairfax and Prince George
counties. instead of going around by way
of Manassas. At meeting held at Deco
guam last night the farmers Of the two
counties made clear that they are will
ing to grant free right Of way nearly all
the way through the section.
w. S. Lynn and Tyson fanny were ap-
pointed as committee to cooperate with
]. l.. Dawson, supervisor Of county roads,
to confer with the railroad interests and
to present reasons why the Occoquan
route through the two counties mentioned
would be the best for the proposed rail-
road.
To obtain the right Of way across the
workhouse tract would require an act of
Congress. Commissioner Rudolph said
today he knew little of the railroad plan,
but that he saw no reason why the right
Of way should not be granted.

were put in around the pumping station.
SO far so good. It was fine job How
ever. on the sixth day the boss took VII
liam and several others over to the
Government Hospital for the Insane to
do a little sewer work.
Williams job led him across a muddy
tract in q comparatively lonesome stretch
near the hospital. He was walking along
carefully in the mud. picking his way,
when he happened to look behind him.
Close upon him was a man with a bucket
of sand and q small shovel. The strang-
er was bending over. filing Williams
footsteps with sand. He was careful and
quiet and very earnest in his demeanor.
He filled up all the footsteps and got
close up to him, waiting for him to move.
William moved. The sandman shoveled
a little sand in the tracks. 1t was too
much for William. With q yell of hor-
ror he fed. And he has never even been
to the District building to collect his
money.
