AVREEMKXT REACHED. Result of Conference Yesterday Over Grade Crossings.

Speaking of the conference he and Commissioner Wight had with the officials of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company yesterday afternoon, District Commissioner Black stated to a Star reporter today that a conclusion has been practically reached between them in the matter of the grade crossing problem, so far as that road is concurred. President J. K. Cowen, General Manager Greene, Chief Engineer Manning and Attorney Hamilton represented the railroad company at yesterday's conference, and, after quite a lengthy discussion of the matter, a conclusion was reached highly satisfactory to both the rtKul and the Commissioners. Commlefioner Black explained that at the present time he could not say more, but believed the result now in sight will, if finally adopted, prove acceptable to Congress ami the people of the District.

WATCH TO HE DOUBLED. Late Orders Issued by the Navy Yard Commandant. The commandant at the navy yard has ordered that the watch on duty in the office at tbe entrance to the navy yard, where communications are received from the Navy Department, be doubled, so that men may be on duty at all hours of the day and night, in case It may be necessary for the Navy Department to Issue any orders after hours. It has been the custom to close this office in the evening and allow it to remain so until morning. Owing to the recent excitement It was deemed wise that It should be kept open all of the time, so that Instant communication can be had with the navy yard.

ECKINGTON BOND HOLDERS A Meeting to Be Held toj Consider the Course to Pursue. Rumors In Regard to the "Withdrawal of Those rii.Mi.1JV the Proposed Consolidation.

A noUce has been lsstied calling a meeting of the bondholders of the FeVinrtnn Of the American Security and Trust Company, 1405 street, tomorrow afternoon It Is stated that the purpose of this meeth8 expresslon of opinion from the bondholders as to what. If any action should be taken in reference to the oise now pending before the courts, asking on behalf of one of the creditors of the company that the road be sold. It Is understood to be the purpose of the receiver of the road to come Into court and seek instructions, it being stated that the holders of the majority of stock are unwilling to continue longer to supply daily deficiency between the receipts and expenditures of the road. It said the road Is running behind to a considerable a.m.oufti; whlch has been for some time furnished by those now holding a majority of the stock. Tired of Putting Up Money.

It is believed they have come to the conclusion not to advance any more money to continue the operaticn of the road, and in view of this contingency, it is stated that the meeting of the has been called. They are to consider whether they will unite in the action that has been taken requesting the c.urt to sell the road what course Is thought wisest to pursue It is reported that these who are Int'rr Ped 'i? thH8 erty as well as in the allied railroad properties, and especially those beck financially the re! habilitation of the railroad properties have btcome dissatisfied with the prognW made in securing from Congress the rif ht 'to con Mil properties in pursuance of a bill recently recommitted by the House to the District oomniittee. Mouse to Slot Pleased With the Chanxen It Is further stated that several changes made In the bill ere not looked upon with by the Baltimore parties who propose to loan about a million and a half in bonds sect red by a mortRage on the entire perties cf the roads thus consolidated. 10 tht 'be committee, has not passed he House or the Senate, and that it would be possible before the bill ls enacted Into vent fy such Matures as would precarrled lhe charter being known vvnat the exact motive is which brought about the alleged change of policy but tnere seems to be a feeling in well-informed circles that those who were and are behind the Eeklngton road reorganization are likely to let the whole scheme fall through. As Matter of Pulley.

It is, of course, probable tljat those who ore supposed to be this enterprise might deem it good pyJicy to allow the Eckir.g-.on road to come to a public sale, with the intentlop of buying it in for. perhaps, the amoupt of. the bond Issue, and in this way cleur off the present incumbrances on the road. It is. therefore, thought that it does not necessarily follow, ever, if they should' consent to a sale of the road or allow a sale to take p.ace, that it means their withdrawal from the enterprise, but it is believed in some quarters that there is such a possibility.

It seems probable that the affairs of the Eeklngton. especially in a way. will in a short time be in'a similar position to that of the affairs of the road. In the latter case, as will bo recalled, the action begun in the District court for ilie sale of this road is ncVw on an appeal before the Court of Appeals, and in the interim the bondholders of the road are practically running It, that is to say, supplying the receiver with the amount of the daily deficiency so that he is able to keep the road In operation. FOIl Proposed Law to Prevent the Illcirnl WelKhlnjc of Prodnets.

The District Commissioners today transmitted to Congress the dwift of a bill to punish the impersonation of weigh masters In the District.

The cold wave flags are flying throughout this section of the country and a twentymile-an-hour wind is keeping them flapping at a very energetic rate. It is not thought at the weather bureau, however, that Washington and vicinity will experience frigidity of the really Intense sort, because the thermometer will hardly go below 15 degrees, and that will probably be some time during tonight, when the wind has gone down and radiation Is at work.

Last night the wind reached the proportions of a gale, and at one time had a velocity of thirty-six miles an hour. South and east of Washington, however, old Boreas put in heavier licks, and at Norfolk the wind gauge registered sixty miles an hour. Velocities almost as high were recorded all along the Atlantic coast from Savannah to Portland, where the present storm, which came sailing out of the west yesterday, was centered this morning. The spot where a storm is said to be centered is in the middle of it, and consequently the extent of the present storm can be realized when it is told that one-half of it covers tne eastern part of the country from Maine to Georgia. The winds will go down tonight and tomorrow will probably be warmer and cloudy.

There is a blizzard out In Montana and North Dakota this morning, and there is no telling but that it will follow along In the track which such storms generally take to the eastward at this time of the year. PENSION DECISIONS. CONDENSED LOCALS. Several Cases Acted on by Assistant Secretary Darin. Assistant Secretary of the Interior Webster Davis today reversed the action of the pension bureau in t.

number of important cases, among them being the following claims: George Conrad, late of Company 02J Ohio Infantry. In this case the assistant secretary says that the evidence fairly that claimant was so disabled from pensioned cause as to entitle him to a rate trom July 10, 1880, in excess of the per month allowed by the bureau April 20, 1807. The board of examiners who examined claimant states that he is very delicate and weakly, and Is unfit for manual iajior. All the evidence in the case tends to snow that claimant is in a very precarious condition and entitled to the increase. Another cuse was that of the claim of Byron H.

Davis, late private, Company H. 21st New York Cavalry. In this case the claimant had been dropped from the rolls under the act of June 27, 1890, and Assistant Secretary Davis reversed the action of the pension department and ordered the case reopened for further consideration. Another case is that of the claim of Washington C. Rugh, late private, 2d Illinois, Mexican war.

In this case the record of the War Department fails to show whether the soldier was en rcute to Mexico wneti he left Chicago, and the action is therefore reversed and cose remanded to obtain further report from the War Department. Assistant Secretary Davis also reversed the bureau in the following casts, namely: Claim of Jos. H. Rowland, late of Company H. 89th Ohio Infartry, and Company 1, 140th Ohio National Guard: Jcel Herringten, late of the 12th Independent Battery, Michigan Volunteers, Light Artillery, and Milo B.

Stevens attorneys, claim for fee in the case of Jemes P. McKay, late of Company 06th Ohio Volunteers. In this case Assistant Secretary Davis decided that where proof as to non-viciou3 habits is required and Is obtained by means of a medical examination held under an order forv arded and returned by an attorney in good standing, who is not chargeable with notice of the requirements of the case, that such attorney thereby obtains the evidence as to r.on-vlclous habits, it being evidence relative to matter usually furnished by attorneys, and that the service rendered is naterial, then such attorney may be considered as having material service, and should be paid the fee.
