SAYS BRIDGE LEANS
Attention Called to Aqueduct

DECLARED TO BE UNSAFE
Attorney Mackey Suggests That
Condition Should Be Remedied.
Col. LangAtts Report.

Complaint OF the 'tdangerous.condttion
OF the AQueduct bridge over tho Potomac
river, between Georgetown and Rosafyn.
has been made by Crandal Mackey. at
torney for Alexandra county. He has
written to the interstate commerce COM
mission, the District Commissioners and
to Col. Langftt. the engineer officer In
change. OF river and harbor works in this
vicinity. with a view to securing q rem
edy for existing conditions
It Is represented by Mr.. Mackey that
the safety of Aqueduct bridge Is endan-
gered by. thenheavy weights placed there
on by the Old Dominion Railway Conn
pany, one effect of which he says has
been to cause the structure Ito lean to
the west which is the side upon which
the cars run.
Cars Banked on Bridge.
Mr.. Mackey says that it IS no uncom-
mon thing for three or four cars of the
largest type to he banked together on the
bridge at one time, and he asks that a
survey be made to determine the condi-
ton Of the bridge In his letter to the
District authorities he says that the con-
dition of the bridge is a very serious
matter, as the collapse of a single span
of the structure, especially If 1t should
happen on a. Sunday or a holiday, would
result in great loss of life.
Col Langfitt has made brief report
on the matter to the War Department.
He says the superstructure of the bridge
was constructed under the supervision of
the District Commissioners and is under
their Jurisdiction. He adds that the sub
structure, consisting of the piers and
abutments. are under the jurisdiction of
substruct1re, he says. has been extensive

and Is regarded as safe. for the present,
at least. but that annual repairs are nee

on account of the uncertainty of the ex-
tent of damage that may have been
caused to the foundations by floods since

will cooperate in a thorough examina-
and the necessity. if any, of limiting the
use Of the bridge by the heavy cars of

Deafness Cannot BE Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portions of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inllamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube is inflamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when
it is entirely closed, deafness is the
result and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever: nine
cases out Of ten are caused by Catarrh

THE PUBLIC SERVICE.

Wednesday afternoon of last week
representative of The Advertiser
had talk with Mayor Babb in which
Mr.. Babb stated a few things i'll con
nection with the recent agitation as
to the water and power service.
In the first place, Mayor Babb SAT
ed that Mr.. j. e. Philpot is not sup
erintendent of the citys waterworks
and electric light plant, that the city
has no superintendent, Mr.. Philpot
taking all orders from him, Mr.. Phil
pots only specified work being read
ing of the metres
He also stated that Wednesday
morning, before he was aware of any
article in The Advertiser, he went to
several members of the city council
and informed them that he intended
ordering motor to be placed ut the
power station to run the raxes used
in connection with the filter plant. lie
stated that the reason the water had
not been clear of late was because of
the fact that the power now at the
station was not sufficient to pull hese
rakes and that in the future. after the
arrival of the motor. he anticipated
no more trouble with the water.
As to the order given the negro at
the power house, not to cut off the
current except at the order of Mayor
Babb or Mr.. Philpot, Mr.. Babb stated
that the power lines were so arranged
at the station that if the current were
cut off during fire the force pumps
could not run and proper pressure
could not be secured He also. said
that the negro had misunderstood his
orders as he had told him not to cut
OIL the current except in cases of
emergency. The reason that the or
ders were given, he stated, was be-
caused during the past few weeks,
patrons of the telephone line had got
ten in the habit of calling up the now
er station and demanding that the
current be cut off every time one of
the city's power lines happened to
brush against the telephone lines.
This order, therefore, Mr.. Babb states,
was given in the interest of better
service rather than for poorer SER
vice. Fire Chief Crews, it might be
also stated and Mayor Babb came
to an understanding later during the
week and Mr.. Babb consented to give
orders at the power house to shut off
. l.
