THREE OF THEM IN CUSTODY AGAIN—THE STORY OF THEIR ESCAPE.

There Were seven at the time in the were in charge of Subsequently the ae 1 jul Carson and Leonard be! one at each door. In. Tynan, Sheridan and Walsh. THE EXTRADITION QUESTION—TYNAN THOUGHT TO IN MEXICO—THE REPORTED WARRANT FOR SHBRIDAN’S ARREST, Although no formal demand has yet been made upon the government for the extradition of Tynan alias “Number 1," Sheridan and Walsh, it is ex- pected that It will be. Tynan, it 1s thought, if on this stde of the ocean at all, has gone to Mexico, with which country England has no extradition treaty. The extradition of Sheridan was demand- ed by England of the French government, and was refused. It 1s reported that a warrant for his ar- Test has been issued by the Department of State, Dutifthisis the case it has not yet been used, perhaps because of insufficient evidence to go be- fore a committing magistrate. The processes by Which an extradition isgranted require that Great Britian shall firat certify toa United States com- missioner or judge of a court of record not only a Copy of the indictment against the persons sought, but a certified copy also of all the depositions upon which the Indictment is based. If the commis- sioner or judge deems the evidence sufficient he certifies the same to the Secretary of State in ac- Cordance with the agreements of the treaty con- vention. The Secretary of State then issues his warrant, if he deems it proper. It is no doubt true that as yet there has been no formal demand for extradition, because the pre- Uminary proceedings to such demand would be before some United States commisstoner or ju in New York clty. it 1s believed, however, that the Cabinet has anticipated such a proceeding and discussed the question. ———————— ‘The Star Route Trial. ADJOURNMENT OVER TILL MONDAY—A REMARK BY FOREMAN CRANE, : Mr. Bliss did not conclude his address to the Jury in the star route trial yesterday, but will close Monday, to which time the trial was ad- Journed. ‘Mr. Crane, the foreman of the jury, suggested that the court should sit Saturday and economize time. He observed that the jury had been sitting already on one case five months, or more than one- seventieth of the average human life. Judge Wylie, however, remarked that it was now too late in the trial'to change the practice, and adjourned over till Monday. Society Notes. Mrs, Frances Hodgson Burnett is in Cincinnati, for the purpose of attending the Dramatic Fest!- val and also to visit her friends, Mr. and Mra. Larz Anderson. On Monday last a reception was given tm her honor, which the local papers state was at- tended by the culture and elite of the city. Mrs. Burnett wore a white satin dress, richly embel- lished witn hand-painted flowers, sleeveless and cut infant waist. A farewell dinner party was given last evening by Mr. John W. Thompson toGen. and Mrs. Foster, prior to their departure to Spain. Those present were Chief Justice and Mrs. Waite, Secretary and Mrs, Chandler, Gen. -and Mrs. John W. Foster, Commissioner West, Rev. Dr. and Mrs. Bartlett, Judge and Mrs, Shellabarger and Mrs. McFear- son. Mr, Justice Woods gave a dianer party last evening to Postmaster General Gresham. The guests included many prominent in official and Social life, It isstated that the marriage of Mr. Herndon Mor- sell to Miss Lizzie Burton Will take place at the close of the operatic season. They are both mem- bers or the Boston Ideal Opera Company. Mr. William Bradiey has left the city for a tour to New Mexico for his health. He {s accompanied by Mrs. Bradley and the children. Mrs. Gresham, wife Of the Postmaster General, arrived at. the Arlington yesterday. ‘They will in a few days take posesession of the house of Gen. J. W. Foster, 1405 I street,which they have leased, and in which they will reside in the future, ee District Government Affairs. THE COMMISSIONERS APPROVE THE T RAIL. ‘The District Commissioners had up the subject oft 'T rails for street railroads at their meeting yes- terday, and after a full discussion decided to over- rule the protests sent to them by the property. jolders on E street and allow the Belt line w go on with thelr work. A TAXPAYER'S QUESTION ANSWERED. A taxpayer In a note to the Commissioners asks whether the holder of 10 per cent assessment cer- Uficates can use such certificates in the payment of special assessments not held by the sinking- fund. ‘The Engineer Commissioner, to whom this Was referred, states in his endorsement that the certificates of assessment referred to are no longer worth thelr face value because of the reduction of the assessments by revision. Under existing law the difference can be made good by drawback for the difference, without interest. This proposition to make the ‘certificates receivable at face value, ac- crued interest, is evidently intended a8 a round about way of getting over the legal difi- culty in the way of getting the interest. It seems hardly advisable to issue such an order as re- juested. The party interested was therefore in- formed that these certificates cannot be received in payment of assessments due to other outstand- ing lien certificates. STREET WORK UNDER THE NEW APPROPRIATIONS CAN GO ON BEFORE JULY 187. The Commissioners are in receipt.to-day of a communication from First Controller Lawrence reversing his recent opinion that no street work can be commenced until the new fiscal year com- mences. He says: ‘You will see that after acare- fulexamiation I have reached the conclusion that appropriations of this character authorize contracts to be made ani work to be commenced before the fiscal year begins, provided the contract expressly states that no payment isto be made until the fiscal year commences. The principle thus decided 1s applicable to work under the auth- ority of the Commissioners on the streets of the District. Youcan make contracts, and the work can commence prior to July 1st if your contracts provide for payment only on or after that date.” TREE PLANTING ON ROADS. In reply to several petitioners who request that shade trees be set out on 19th street extended to Columbia road, and 14th street road as far as Whitney avenue, the Commissioners direct that trees be planted, without charge, on main thoroughfares in proximity to the ‘city, when Toads are permanently located, with reference to future street extensions. ‘MISCELLANEOUS MATTERS, ‘The Commisstoners have declined the Mr. Wm. Dickson, representing the National Jockey Club, to be allowed to suspend a net ban- ner across Pennsylvania avenue, near 10th street, for twenty days. This refusal 1s owing to the lMa- bility of this banner to frighten horses. ‘The Commissioners have granted the Washing- ton Gas Company permission to lay a gas main on Rhode Island avenue. between New Jersey avenue and Boundary street. juest of ‘The Street-Railway Trouble. THE BELT LINE COMPANY PETITIONS THE COURT TO SETTLE THE CONPROVERSY WITH THE METROPOLI- TAN COMPANY. Messrs. Hine and Thomas to-day filed a petition in the Supreme Court of the District in behalf of the Capitol, North O streetand South Washington Railroad Company to adjust the terms under which the company may use certain tracks of the Metropolitan ratiroad on 9th street, from Louist- ana avenue to E street north. The petition recites that the charter of the “Belt Ine” gives them the right, when their track coincides with the track of another road, to use such tracka, and in case of a failure to agree on the terms for the use of such tracks they may appeal to the cou hat they have fatled in the negotiations for, the use of the 8 in question, and under thé law they now appeal to the court to adjust the terms. cdot echt The Peor Children’s Country Home CONTRIBUTIONS FOR THIS N CHARITY.

By this term is meant men who weigh in the neighbor- hood of from 150 to 160 pounds. There ts no doubt but that too much weight fs just as disadvantage- ous as too little. As the rules are at present there 1s but little inducement for a man of light weight to engage in rowing, for he knows that, no matter how skiliful he may become with the sculls, he ‘will have to compete with men who are just as skillful, and a. deal heavier and stronger, while his chances of being selected for a crew to take Part in club races are very slight, because heavier men are always wanted. It is not probable that a change will be made this year, but a classification according to weights will be ‘made before many yeare, for the preasure is too strong and the need too apparent. HANLAN WANTS AN APOLOGY FROM HALIFAX. ‘The people of Halifax have started astury that there {s no money up for the race between Han- lan and Kennedy on the 30th tust., and that it 1s, nothing but a hippodrome. For this reason Han- lan declines to make a match for a race between Lee and himself and Conly and Hamin, who rep- resent Halifax, as was intended, is forthcoming. THE POTOMAC REGATTA. At the meeting of the Potomac boat club Wed- nesday evening a committee, consisting of Zap- pone, Johnston and Martin, was appointed to con- fer with other club committees on the Potomac Fegatta. All the other club committees but the Analostan have been appointed, and that club will probably appoint theirs at the meeting to- hight A meeting of the committees will be held shortly for making regatta ments, but It is likely that there will be some difficulty in selecting a date that will satisty all concerned. LOCAL BOATING NOTES. The Improvements to the Columbia boat house are completed, and tt ls ready to receive the new boats and the new members. The ten oared barge has arrived and ts, the boys claim, the handsomest barge that was ever built. The elght cared and four dared shells will be shipped next week. The locker room of the house has accom- modattons tor about 175 men. The active mem- bership list has now reached Its limits, 150, and 1 moro members will be received until vacancies unless an apology ‘occur. Now that there are three ten-oared barges on the river, a barge race between the clubs 1s talked of. Those, however, who know how hard it is to get up a race on this river doubt if such a contest will take place this year. There is no trouble in arrenging a race between two men who think they can Deat each other, but club rows are hard to manage. ‘The Potomacs are hard at work, and every day a number of shells go out from their house.
