MARINE BAND MUSICIAN
TAKES GERMAN BRIDE
Sieefried Scharbeau Marries Girl
From Hamburg Upon Her Ar
rival in This Country. +

Soon after landing at the Immigrant
station at Locust Point, Baltimore. yes
terday Miss Marie Andersen of Ham
burg, Germany. was married to Siegfried
Scharbeau of this city, member OF the
Marine Band. The ceremony was per-
formed by Rev. Otto Apitz immigration
missionary at Locust Point. The mar
riage ceremony preceded the baptism or
three babies. each eight days old. who
were born on the high seas while the
steamship Neckar with 1917 passengers
aboard was en- route to this country.
The marriage of Scharbeau TO Miss An
dersen did not come as a surprise to his
fellow-members of the Marine Band. for
the musician had been preparing for the
event for some time. Scharbeau is also
Miss Andersen while on a visit to- that
city year ago.
Following Scharbeaus return to this
country there was frequent exchange
of letters between the couple and not long
ago he announced his engagement to his
fellow musicians.
Several days ago Scharbeau applied for
ten days leave of absence, and early yes
terday morning he went to Baltimore, and
was on hand at the immigration station
when the big ocean liner docked. Fol-
lowing the marriage ceremony Mr.. and
Mrs. Scharbeau started for honeymoo
trip. Their destination is not known to
his fellow-members of the Marine Band.
Scharbeau is a tassoon player in the
band, and a viola player in the orchestra.
He has been in this country about seven
years.

DRAIN UNDER TRACKS
BLAMED FOR DAMAGE
Water After Storm Poured Into Low
Lands in Section Around
Division Avenue.

Attributing much of the damage caused
by the storm last Sunday in the north
east section of the District to the fact
that the Chesapeake Beach Railway
Company has cut a drain under its
tracks at Division avenue which permits
the water to pour off into low land, John
H. Paynter, secretary OF the executive
board of the Northeast County Citizens
Commissioners requesting that steps be
taken to relieve the situation.
Until the return of Engineer Commits
sioner Judson. who is out Of the city on
months vacation. the matter probably
will not be acted upon, but the general
opinion Of officials OF the engineer de-
partment is that there is no relief the
District can afford until the section In
question has been provided with sewer
age facilities. This will not be for sew
eral years.
The railway company Is criticised by
Mr.. Paynter for not carrying the water
along the side of it's track until it car
be ditched to the branch. Engineer Off
Gals Of the District say that had no,
the company built the drain under Its
| tracks the water would have poured into
the low land in the same way that II
does now, and that there is no law b,
which the company can be compelled te
carry the water along its tracks unit
| IL can be ditched.
In his letter Mr.. Paynter said tina,

drain under the company's track swelleG

gardens, destroyed fences, swept to de-
struction barnyard stock, and, in many
instances. practically vitiated the fruits

WORK WILL START SOON
ON MERIDIAN HILL PARK
Occupants Of Buildings on Reserva-
ton in Northwest Section
Ordered to Vacate.

Gen. Bixby. chief Of engineers who is
in charge of public buildings and grounds
in the District of Columbia, has taken
formal possession OF the land between
18th and 10Th and w and Euclid streets.
recently acquired by the government by
purchase for park purposes, and will be-
gin its improvement as soon as the nec-
essary appropriations become available
The reservation is known as Meridian Hill
Park. 1t will be developed and improved
under the personal direction Of Col. Cos
by. Corps Of Engineers, acting for the
chief of engineers. The sundry civil bill
now pending in Congress contains an ap-
preparation for that purpose.
In accordance with instructions, Col.
Cosby has notified the occupants of all
buildings on the property to vacate within
thirty days. with the exception, however,
of Mr.. Colvin. who occupies premises No
1903 Belmont street, which includes a
small truck garden under cultivation. He
requested permission to continue the Oc-
cupany Of these premises pending the
improvement of the grounds by the gov
eminent, at the rate of $3.50 per month,
the regular rent. On the recommends
been granted by the War Department on
condition that the premises shall be va
Gated on thirty days notice.
That action was taken on representa-
lions by Col. Cosby, that the house oc-
cupied by Mr.. Colvin is the only brick
building on the property, and that it
would be an advantage to the govern
ment to allow it to remain in position,
at least until the actual work of i'm
provement begins. He said the building
might be found useful also as tool or
storehouse while the work is in progress.
Under these circumstances he held that
1t is better that the building should con-
tinue to be occupied than to dispossess
the tenants and leave it entirely uncared
for and unguarded.

TO REPAIR CONDUIT ROAD,
Highway Will Be Resurfaced and
General Improvements Made.

Arrangements have been made by Col.
Langfitt, the engineer officer in charge
OF the District water supply system, for
the surfacing and general Improvement
of the Conduit road from Foxhall road
just above Georgetown to Great Falls, a
distance of about fifteen miles. The
Conduit road is built over the conduit
through which the water flows from the
intake at Great Falls to the city reser-
voirs. 1t is popular thoroughfare, but
through long and constant use, and lack
of funds for its proper maintenance, has
fallen into bad condition in certain much
used sections.
The District of Columbia appropriation
bill recently approved by the President
contains an appropriation of $4,000 for
the repair of the road, and Col. Langftt
has arranged to begin the work at once.
To that end he has obtained authority
from Gen. Bixby. chief of engineers, to
purchase an eight-ton tandem steam
steam roller at an estimated cost Of
s.. 400. and road scarifier at an esti-
mated cost of 500. These machines are
designed for use in resurfacing the road
and in keeping it in good repair in the
future. 1t Is planned. as far as available
funds will permit, to make the Conduit
road one of the best in this vicinity.

vacation.
1t is currently rumored that he intends
to immune himself in the wilds of New
