CROSSING FIGHT
TAKEN TO COURT
Corporation Commission Hears
Suit Between Southern Rail-
way and Fairfax County.

The State Corporation Commission
beginning at 10 o'clock yesterday
morning heard argument on the petit
ton OF the county OF Fairfax to b..
relieved OF half share In tho expense
or making $4,000 crossing about ono
mile outside tho city of Alexandria.
where seven tracks of tho Southern
Railway cross tho Telegraph Road. The
Board or Supervisors Of Fairfax Coun-
ty. through Its attorney. Walter Tan
Sill Oliver, claimed exemption from
bearing portion OF the cost OF MAX
Ing the overheard underground
crossing on the ground that the
Telegraph Road was In existence pro-
vious To tho laying of the Southern
Railway tracks.
That is tho real ground OF conten-
ton. although nominally, the suit is
brought by the county to force the
railway 10 make an underground
crossing NJ this point. Robert T.
Tunstall and John S Eggloston. coun-
sci FOR the railway, fought tho de-
nand for an underground crossing and
claimed tho county must share in the
cost. The commission took tho case
under advisement and will render a
decision at SONS future day
Ia presenting its case against an
underground crossing. the railway
company placed only a single witness
on the stand-H. L. Hutcheus general
superintendent OF the Southern Rail
way. Thomas a. Williams and w. T.
=. Reid. both members OF tho Board
OF Supervisors of Fairfax, took tho
stand in behalf of tho county. All
witnesses agreed on the need Of an
artificial crossing at this point, where
between 200 and $50 trains daily cross
the busy Telegraph Road. AT present.
the railway keeps n night and a day
Waterman on the grade crossing there,
but the board contends that : watch
man cannot competcnily care for
seven tracks running parallel. three
Of which are used for switching.
The supervisors and tho railway OIL
cials have been In conference over tho
matter for long time. but have never
reached an amicablo understanding on
the kind Of crossing to DO built The
railway holds out for an overhead
crossing on tho ground TINT IL Will

PUT IN POWER.
w. Y. CrOwsOn Installs Motor i'm
Confectionery.

w. Y. Crowson has installed a
power ice cream plant at his confec-
tionery. A two-horse motor has
been put in which runs a power ice
cream freezer, a power ice crusher
and a power churn. They make all
the butter used in the confectionery
business, and this is no small
amount, as will be seen when it is
known that he keeps one or two girls
most of the time packing candy. One
reason for making the butter is to be
sure of a sufficient quantity of a
first-class article. Another is to
make an outlet for the surplus
cream. By this means he can be
sure to have all the cream needed
for making ice cream and for other
purposes, without the loss incident to
not having an outlet. If he does not
need it for ice cream it is permitted
to sour and is made into butter with
profit.
