Political Changes and the Effect Upon the Prosperity of the City. THE LARGE SUBURBAN SUBDIVISION OF PETWORTH— ‘THE CONVENIENCE OF PROPERTY-OWNERS AT THE ‘TAX OFFICE—THE PROPOSED REAL ESTATE CONVENTION—THE LATE REAL ESTATE BOOM, Real estate men, like all other business men, | are glad that the election is over. ‘The gener- | ally expressed opinion is that the choice of a | President has been a disturbing element in all | business for the past six or eight months. Now that it is all over, the hope is entertained that money will begin to circulate freely in the reg- | ular channels, As far as the prospects of busi- | ness in this city is concerned, the opinion of ministration does not have the effect that was formerly the case. It is found that the pros- Prosperity of the city rests on a surer founda- | tion than mere political favor. Real estate men therefore while they have their own polit- ical opinions still do not base their hopes of the future market upon the continuance in of- fice of this or that party. There may be more liberal appropriations one year than another, but the general average, they say, shows a steady increase. During the first three years of the present Administration the growth and prosperity of the city made rapid ad- vances. Not only have values appreciated in the city but outside, and the beginnings have been made of that new city which is growing up on all sides beyond the present city limits Large sums of money have been invested here, the resident population has greatly increased, and fine houses have been built in all parts of the city. The developement of the suburban roperty has been perhaps the most marked Feature. While, of course, real estate men do not attribute this prosperity to the fact that a democrat was in the White House, still they note the personal connection of members of the Administration with some phases of the real estate revival. They remember that Secretary Whitney purchased his country place on the ‘Tenleytown road in the spring of 1585, and that a year later President Cleveland acquired the title to Oak View. They recall the following months when property changed hands in that Vicinity with great rapidity and syndicates were formedand ground laid out into building sites. They appreciate the fact that values then sud denly advanced have been maintained, and that improvements of all kinds have been made or are in pro; The extension of Massa- chusetts avenue,about which there was so much talk, is not yet completed, but considerable progress has been made, and the avenue is now opened beyond Rock Creek. The movement in roperty along the extension of the avenue Began before the Tenleytown road boom set in, and was really the precursor of it. The entire locality has felt the influence, and there must be at least 1.000 acres either now subdivided or held for subdivision along Massachusetts avenue ex- tended and the Tenleytown road. But no one locality was favored. Suburban property throughout felt the stimulus of the times, and large sums of money have been invested’ and many acres have been added to the land already subdivided. It is now conceded to be only a Grestion of time, and the increase of popule- tion, when improvements in the way of houses will’ be extended over this new territory. Already the District authorities have begun the work of paving some of these suburban streets, and the extension of the city beyond the pres- ent bounds can no longer be regarded as among the uncertainties of the future. AN EXTENSIVE SUBURBAN SURDIVISON. One of the largest subdivisons of land in the vicinity of this city is what is known as the Petworth tract. It contains 387 acres, and lies | on the east side of the 7th street road. The southern boundary line is the Rock Creek road. ‘The streets and avenues laid out will be in con- formity with the plan of the city. This large property is controlled by a syndicate consisting of B. H. Warder, B. H. Warner, M. M. Parker, A. A. Thomas, Joseph Paul, Lawrence Sands, and others. It consists of two distinct pieces of land, one the old Marshall Brown place, and the other the country seat of the late B. Ogle Tayloe. ‘The purchases of these two properties were entirely distinct, and were made by dis- tinct syndicates, although each syndicate em- braces several members who are interested in both. The two syndicates have, how- ever, united for the purpose of’ mak- ing a subdivision, which it i expected will soon be placed on record. It is the intention to begin the work of grading and laying out streets as soon as possible, and it is expected that houses will be erected before the close of another year, The owners of this prop- erty have donated jand to the District fot widening both the Rock Creek and the 7th street roads to 9 feet. In the case of the Rock Creek road the District authorities have already graded it to the width of 90 feet, and arrangements are being made to begin the work of widening the 7thstreet road, Congress at the last session granted a charter for the building ofa street railway along the 7thstreet road from Boundary to the District line. The incorporators intend to organize at once, and one of the gentlemen who is largely interested in the road told a Stan reporter recently that it was the purpose to have cars running by next December.

As the use of overhead wires is specially prohibited by the charter,the hew company wil uso mules until they can find some other suitable motive power. The new subdivision, as stated, consists of two tracts of land. ‘The Marshall Brown place, which is separated from the Rock Creek. r by Petworth, contains 183 acres. When it was purchased by the syndicate in October, 1986, the price paid was #260 per acre. In the fol- lowing spring a half interest was purchased in acres, and Petworth. which contains some in June last the other halt veyed to the syndicate. ‘The pi entire tract wasabout $1,100 per acre. Petworth was owned by the two daughters of the late Ogle Tayloe, Mrs. Geo. B. Warren, and Mrs, Jno. W. Pa e. a s With the exception of the old Octagon House New York avenue and 18th at the corner of sireet, Petworth was the last piece of property in the District belonging to the Tayloe heirs. In the early days of ‘the city John Tayloe, the father of Ogle Tayloe. was the wealthiest resi- dent of the District. He built, about the year 1798, the building which is still standing on the north side of Pennsylvania avenue between ith and 15th streets, and now owned by Mr. Joseph Willard. It'was one of the famous hotels in the early years of the city, but now only the store-rooms opening out on the avenue are used. He also built the Octagon House, where he lived and died. When the White House was burned by the British in 1814. Presi- dent Madison occupied the house for a short time. His son, Ogle Tayloe, built the house on Lafayette Square, which is now owned and occupied by Senator Don Cameron, CHECKS V8. MONEY AT THE TAX OFFICE. ‘The recent decision of Mr. Davis, the collec- tor of taxes, that he will not receive cheeks in payment of taxes, affects the convenience of a large number of tax-payers. A custom has grown up here and has been very general to pay taxes by mailing to the collector cheeks for Til amount due. ‘The receipted bills were re- turned through the same medium. In former years the collector facilitated i general tion of thi | @xperts seems to be that a change in the Ad- | lov: the week f the Knights Templar ecinial Conclave, woul be the est cathe | The time for holding ‘the convention. Many who will attend the conclave, he said, are in the real estate business. For instance, the chair. man of the committee to arrange the conclave. in 1680 was Norman T. Gametie. He is one of i Chicago. The same may be said of Mr. Miles, Qf Louisville, and others who might be men- jones . Parker said that it would take time to work up the details of the arrangements for such a convention, But Mr. Warner, he added, was an admirable organizer, and he thought that he would experience’ no difficulty in obtaining all needed assistance, DR.

The second floor has a parlor, library, dining room and butler’s pantry, while on the two upper floors are the six chambers, baths, &c. T.F. Schnei- der is the architect and Wm. @. Morrison the builder. CHURCH OF THE COVENANT WALLA. ‘The rebuilding of the tower and front of the Church of the Covenant is progressing rapidly, and the work is being done in the most thorough manner. To satisfy themselves and the public as to the condition of the side walls, and all that portion of the structure left standin, after the fall of the tower, the trustees asked Gen. T. L. Casey, Chief of’ Engineers, to make an examination of same, which he. in connec- tion with Mr, Bernard R. Green, the engineer in charge of constructing the new Congres- sional Library building. Their report under date of November 8, 1888, says: “The walls are low and thick, and have to carry but little more than their own weight; because the greater Bart of the finished roof is supported upon in- dependent trusses and pillars. while the un- finished part ix to rest chiefly upon the new west gable and tower walls. We find that the walls, roof, and floor, as they now stand, the work as it is now being d safe and secure for the purpose for which the are intended, and that the tower and adjoining walls are being rebuilt in a thorough and work- manlike manner under careful supervision.” A fine organ is being put in place, and work in all parts of the church is being energeti- cally pushed, and the building committee hope to have it ready for occupancy not later thin February 1 next. Work on the tower above the roof lines will. on the approach of bad weather, be suspended until next season, when it will be resumed and carried to completion, COMING AMUSEME Just completed for ttle is conspicu- of 22 feet and is four with a gableand high ay-window extends to Axnaven’s Orera-Hov: melodrama, “The Dark Secret,” with any num- ber of “real” features, including a real boat race at Henley, with real shells and steam launches, a river of real water, Geo.

These tickets will be obtainable at Albaugh’s box-office during the first three days of next week. The sale of single seats begins on Thursday next. The coming of M. Coquelin and. Mme.

I'm going to pull my best oar that day and I'm going in to win that $1,000. It will be a straight race from the start.’ You see I never rowed against Teemer before, dnd so I shall be on new ground, like.” My best three-mile record is 1942 Imade that whon I beat Gaudaur in Canada, I shall try not only to make that time on the 24th, but to'break it. This course here is a beautiful one, and we both ought to do some fast work.” “Do you think that there will be many people to see you?” “I understand that there are a great many folks coming here from other cities. There will be a large excursion from my home, To- ronto, Canada, to see me pull. But it won't make any difference whether we have any audience or not, We are here to race for the kes and the championship, and the question of spectators don’t count.” Vho will referee the race?” “We have asked Mr. Wm. H. Gibson, of the Columbia Athletic Club, to act'as referee. In case he doex not accept he is to select some- body else. We have not heard whether or not he will serve.” The conversation then drifted on to the sub- ject of other oarsmen and O'Connor remarked: “I see that Hanlan is going to row Beach in Australia, In my opinion he is getting too old. I entered that road-sculling match in New York last month, but I dropped out before the finish. Idon’t think much of the machine for a fast man, but for an amateur it isa very food thing.

EXCLUDED—THE MURDER OF AGENT BLAKE. The Parnell commission yesterday continued hearing witnesses, who deposed to outrages j and boycotting. A determined attempt was made by the Times’ counsel to introduce hear- say evidence, but a final indignant protest by Sir Charles Russell induced their lordships to lay down a permanent rule against it. ‘The only important point was scored by Rus- sell. Mrs. Blake, widow of Lordianricarde’s agent, created considerable impression by her recital of the circumstances connected with her husband's murder in June, 1882, and at the height of the first agrarian conflict. But in cross-examination she stated that her husband had strongly urged to Clanricarde the impera- tive necessity of reducing rents, but his lord- ip ys ref After her husband's death she sought to vindicate his memory by nblishing confirmatory correspondence, but Jlanricarde had the meanness to obtain a legal injunction restraining her from doing so. so ames Ww nomoms Caspar Hardy, a naval veteran of the Gulf squadron in the’ war, was buried yesterday in the Pennsylvania section of the National Ceme- tery, at Gettysburg, Pa., with military honors Fost 9. OVEMBER 10. 1888. eae eee ae eT se ee ELECTION ECHOES. Delayed Returns, Ete. Both President-elect Harrison and Mr. Mor- ton have as much as they can do to read the ning. In thanking one of them for their at- of | tention last night, he said that the time for speech-making had passed; the debate had closed. ‘(WEST VIRGINIA'S GOVERNOR AND CONORESSMEX Forty counties of West Virginia, polling 115,- 468 votes for President in 1884, show a net re- of publican gain of 4,046. The remaining four- teen counties, polling 16,689 votes, will, at the same ratio of h the republicans a plurality: of “1,000 in the state. “The state ie claimed for Fleming, democrat, for governor by 715. The legislature is one, Tepub ean mee on it y hay maj a es but in the third district there will bot be 1 dterence between Alder, deme ant [eGinni fie olatmn the district. ‘VIRGINIA’ CONGRESSIONAL DELEGATION. Virginia democrats claim the state by 2,000 to 8,000 majority and that they have eight out of ten Representatives in Congress, These are Geo. D. Wise, third district; E. C. Venable, fourth; Posey Lester, fifth; Paul Edmunds, O’Ferrall, seventh: W. H. F. Lee, Jas,A- Buchanan, ninth; Henry St. George Tucker, tenth. The republicans have elected two—T. H. Bagly Browne in the first district and Geo, E. Bowden in the second. ‘Wise's majority in the Richmond district is only about 200, Ex-Judge Edward Waddill, his republican’ opponent. will contest Wise's seat on the ground that 600 colored voters were not allowed to vote in Jackson ward, the col- ored ward of Richmond. CALIFORNIA CONGRESSMEN. The latest congressional returns from Cali- fornia last night indicated that McKenna, rep., and Vandeveer, rep., are undoubtedly re-elec- ted in the third and sixth districts, respectively. There is also little doubt that Morrow, rep. is re-elected in the fourth ict. Biggs, dem... has plurality of nearly 1,200 in the second district, In the two remaining districts, the first and fifth, the contest is very close, but De Haven, rep., in the first, and Clunie, dem., in the fifth, appear to be elected. TWO DEMOCRATIC CONGRESSMEN. Harrison's plurality in Indiana is about 3,438, Dispatches last night announced the election of Brookshire, dem., over Johnston, rep., in the eight Indiana district. A special from Nashville, Tll,, says: Forman, dem., for Congress in the eighteenth district of Illinois, has a majority of 17 over Jehu Baker, rep. CONGRESSIONAL CONTESTS IN SOUTH CAROLINA. Chairman Mosby, of the republican state ex- ecutive committee of South Carolina, announces that he will contest the election of congressmen in the first, fourth, sixth and seventh districts of that state. He asserts that he can prove frand at the polls and will be able to seat the republican contestants, HARRISON TO MILLER. President-clect Harrison has sent a dispatch to Warner Miller, the defeated candidate for governor of New York, in which he says: “I am greatly grieved at your defeat. If the in- trepid leader fell outside of the breastworks the column, inspired by his courage, went on to victury.” “MAGNIFICENT BUT NOT POLITICS.” In a long editorial in the Louisville Courier- Journal blaming the defeat of the democracy on President Cleveland, Henry Watterson sa; “To all approaches for help, which the Pr dent thought he had no right to give, his one enswer was that this was not the Administra- tion’s, but the people's battle. When he wa asked directly from uational democratic he: quarters whether he was for us or against ux he smiled pleasantly, and considered that which was only half a jest asa tribute to his integ- rity, as indeed it was, though at the expense of his wisdom. It ‘ne to say of him that he did not raise his hand to help himself from the beginning to the end of the campaign; that he did not encourage anybody else to help him, and that in many cases he did not permit his official subordinates to help him. This was magnificent, but it was not politics.” C. W, Chapin, the owner of the steel schooner yacht Yampa, it is suid, has been challenged by Uaidwell EL” Colt to’ race his schooner, the Dauntless, across the Western ocean for a se: the race to take place this winter.
