Celebrating Primrose Day—London’s Recently-Developed Love of Flowers. Special Cable Dispatch to Tas Eventye Stan. Loxpox, April 18.—Primrose day is generally kept Maundy-Thursday, notwithstanding that the selection of Holy Thursday for primrose junketing is bemoaned by high-church people and Catholics, The spring is cold and back- ward, but London grime is inlaid with flowers, The growth of the love of floral decoration is the most significant outward change in London life of late years. The liberals sorely need a floral emblem. The Primrose league added 120,000 new members last year, and the organ- ization contributed more than any other to make woman's suffrage practicable politics. Lord Randolph Churchill is credited with say- ing that Beaconfield’s novel “Sybil” created e tory democracy. 4 Every one is out of town. The railway sta- tions yesterday and to-day were crowded.

Sprrxorretp, Mass., April 18.—West Farms, a farming hamlet, lying midway between West- field and Montgomery and 5 miles from West- field center, was the scene of a horrible double tragedy this morning. Joseph King, a wealthy well-known citizen, seventy-eight years of age, was shot and killed by Edgar King, his eldest son, and the house fired and burned. Some time after shots were heard near by, directing the assembled neighbors to a spot twenty rods away, where the murderer was found lying ina pool of blood, having shot himself. DISSOLUTE HABITS THE CAUSE. The cause of the crime is traceable to an un- balanced mind, caused by dissolute habits, The murderer and suicide had planned the deeds he committed. A few days ago he gave to Charles Clark, a sealed manuscript, which he requested him to keep and not open until some time in the future, saying he would soon go away, and that the letter would reveal why he went and where he would be. The papers were read to-day and reveal the determination of Edgar to kill his father and also his aunt. The final act was to be his own death. Edgar was once in partnership in the busi- ness of making whips, was worth considerable property and was married. Six vears ago his wife procured a divorce on the ground,of drunkenness, When his property was gone he led a bad life and got what money he could from his father, until the latter refused to give him any mofe, THIRTY THOUSAND STRONG. Hayes’ Cavalry to Accompany the Col- umn of Boomers from Arkansas City. Arxansas Crty, Ark., April 18.—At 5 o'clock this morning a runner from Captain Hayes’ camp says the camp is alive and getting ready to accompany the boomers across the Cherokee strip. Nearly 30.000 are here and will fall in line. They have been ordered to move in an orderly manner along the established trails, If any fences are destroyed or other depreda- tions committed, the whole line will be stopped and the guilty ones turned back. The grand procession will be accompanied by twenty to thirty reporters on ponies, The Chicago camp began moving in line last night. United States Commissioner Ben- sell and Capt.

Clarence FE. Dowling, » young man whose home is near 19th and Boundary streets, is at present staying at the District jail, Although |not yet twenty years old, he seems to have made a bad start in life, if the — accusations against him are true. He was formerly employed by Mr. John Q. Thompson, of the Sunday Chroni- cle, and after leaving his service was employed by Dr. J. B. Hodgkin, the dentist. It is alleged that while in the employ of the doc- tor, Dowling went to the store of Saks & Co.? and ordered a pair of trousers agreeing to 910 for them; that he gave bie'namess 2. James; that he visited the store about the time | his trousers were finished and ordered them sent to his home; that on the way he met the porter and got the trousers from him; that he gave the man m payment a check for $10. purporting to have been d by Mr. Jno.

BUT THE OFFICE-SEEKERS ARE ALSO THERE, AND STORIES OF EYE-WITNESSES OF THE AVENUE IN- TRY TO MAKE THEMSELVES AGREEABLE—THE PRESIDENTS CALLERS TO-DAY — WHITELAW REID AMONG THEM. More numerous, more beautifal and more interesting than the office-seekers were the bridal couples at the White House to-day. It was the first low Whittier-like wash of waves where soon shall roll a matrimonial sea. They gravitate toward the executive mansion just as easily and naturally as does the enthusiastic patriot who wants a salary and an official title. They are more welcome than the place-hunter (although he is very agreeable), and the Presi- dent would doubtless be more than pleased to trade off the painful duty of listening to elo- quent claimants upon the nation’s bounty for the pleasure of shaking the dainty hands of blushing brides, and looking into the depths of their love-laden optics, The brides did not see him to-day, however, while the office-seekers did. THE NEW YORK SENATORS. The most frequent visitor was Senator His- cock. He is silent as the sphynx at midnight to everyone save the President or to the par- ties who may be immediately interested in the subject then under consideration. Senator Evarts was with him for some time this morn- ing and, with the President, New York appoint- ments were discussed. Itis expected that the appointment of appraiser will soon be made ublic for Senator Hiscock returned to the White House and to the Presidential ear twice after his departure with his colleague. MINISTER WHITELAW REID. Secretary Blaine had with him Minister Whitelaw Reid when he called. It was Mr. Reid’s farewell to the President, and the inter- view was not a yery lengthy one. OHIO WAS OUT in force. Buckeye republicans who worked their finger-nails off in the campaign want to know why they have been slighted, and the delegation decided that something must soon be done or there would be a serious revolt Heretofore it has been “every man for him- self” so far as the congressmen were con- cerned, but at last they have come to the conclusion that ‘there can be no suecess without harmony. Senator Sherman made a very spirited fight for Parsons, who wanted to be controller of the currency, but Lacy accomplished his defeat without any apparent difficulty, because the Ohio delegation had been somewhat mixed uj as to what it would like to have. It was soli: enough this morning. Senator Sherman and Representatives McKinley, Butterworth, and ‘Thompson called early and talked over the mat- ter with the President ina very earnest man- ner. For the present they refuse to say any- thing as to their conclusions or recommenda- tions. It is generally understood that they want A. F. Childs appointed public printer, and they ask that none other than Tracy L. Jeffords shall be commissioner of education. Representative Hermann had with him a delegation of Oregonians who are anxious that their portion of the country be not neglected in the distribution of prize packages. Senator Edmunds must have had a good deal to say, and Senator Hawley’s stay was not brief, Senator Dolph came to clinch the argument made yesterday by himself and his colleagues, CONTROLLER LACEY. Very complacent was the demeanor of Con- troller Lacey, happy in the possession of his commission, when he went into the library to feels the President for what had been done for im.

JOHN C. FREMONT, Representatiues Banks, of Massachusetts; Taylor and Evans, of Tennessee; Anderson, of Kansas; Evars and ex-Senator Hill, of Colo- rado, were the other congressional or post- congressional callers. A GRAND ARMY DELEGATION called shortly after noon. The gentlemen who composed it had been over to the State depart- ment to see about the appointment of Comrade William P. Pierce as con- sul at Mantanzas, Cuba. He was re- moved from the ‘consulate by the late administration. First Assistant Secretary Wharton and Walker Blaine received the crowd and gave them assurances on which they now rest Sopefally. At the White House they were received by Secretary Halford to whom they desired to pay their respects, He said he Lond eerey to see them and laugh- ingly remarked that he had no offices to give away. He said that ancient political economy had one fixed principle—that the supply al- ways equals the demand. This he now knew was incorrect. A few moments of informal conversation followed, and then the delegation, which was composed of the follow- ing, retired: W. 8. Odell, department com- mander; J, M. Pipes, Jerome B. Burke, H. H. Smith, Calvin Farnsworth, Arthur Hendricks, Charles King, D, Essex Porter, W. De Knight, W. W. Hubbard, 8. E. Faunce and others, RULE 10 OF THE CIVIL SERVIGE REGULATE Messrs, Odell. Pipes, and Porter went in and talked to the President about rule 10 of the il service regulations. The interview was -y pleasant one and the President gave them to understand that the rule would never be allowed to operate against the chances of a veteran who was not physically incapable of performing the duties of the sought-for office. A PARTY OF CHICAGOANS, Senator Cullom was not after office to-day. He was acting as escort to a party of Chi- cagoans who desired to see the President. They were Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Fulton, of 42 Ashland Boulevard; Miss Fannie A. Harper, of 3236 Prarie avenue, and Mr. Wm. H. Harper. ‘The presidential pastor—the Rev. Teunis 8, Hamlin—introduced his father. a_pleasant- featured old gentleman, to the President. The older Mr. Hamlin lives in Michigan and is down here on a visit. COL. J. R, O'BEIRNE, of New York, came back from a southern trip to-day, and made for the White House at once. He introduced three pretty giris (two of them with sunkissed hair), to Door- keeper Loeffler, but there was too much of a crowd to admit of their seeing the President, The new and the old, the successful and the unsuccessful, entered ‘arm-in-arm, having first sent in a card on which their two names were inscribed in loving conjunction. They were J, B. Donnally and A. 8, Badger; the former happy because he has been appointed United States marshal for the eastern district of Louisiana, the latter trying to convince him- self that he had not lost much when he failed to get there himself. OTHERS WHO SAW THE PRESIDENT were Gen. Tyner, John A. Colescott, secre- tary of the Franklin county republican cen- tral committee; Dan Parmelee Eells, Cleve- land, Ohio; C. W. Stivers, editor of the Herald, of Liberty Indiana ; Charles W. Moody, Nashville, ‘Tenn.; W. G. Sutton, In- diana; W.'H. Strother, Fauquier county, Va.; Alvah H.

THE DISTRICT COMMISSIONERS. There isa general impression that the Dis- trict Commissioners are soon to be appointed, The expectation seems to be that it is the ques- tion only of a day or two, but at the White House there is no sign of activity in the matter. The friends of all the active can- didates have filed with the President all the en- dorsements they could assemble, and now they are waiting and workin quietly. Each candidate is borne up with more or less hope, but it is understood that the Presi- dent is trying to satisfy himself as to these CR intments and there is no intimation as hom he will select. cond en Declarations for the Spring Races.

BEAVER axD GiPT. ARMES BEFORE THE NOSE-TWEAKING. The court-martial trying Capt. Armes met, according to agreement, at 11 o'clock this mbrning, and Judge-Advocate Davis at once to read the record of Tuesday's proceed- ings, consisting merely of the testimony of Assistant District Attorney Shillington. Capt. Knox, who started in to act as counsel for accused, but withdrew from the case when the services of Judge Hubbell were secured by Capt. Armes, entered the court-room during the reading, and tooka seat atthe counsel table in the corner. He has had a good deal to do with the cross-examination of the prosecutor's witnesses, asking no questions, but meoking whispered oh oe to Capt. Armes ani to Judge Hubbell, that have usually resulted in some shrewd inquiries, He is therefore looked upon asa part of the counsel for the defense, although he formally withdrew. A MOTION TO STRIKE OUT, When the reading was completed Judge Hub- bell arose with a paper in his hind and said: “May it please the court I ask, on behalf of Mr. Armes, that we be allowed to strike out from the record of the first day that portion of his remarks relating to Col, Barr.” (This re- mark was to the effect that Col. Barr had acted as Secretary of War for Mr. Lincoln.) A mem- ber of the court suggested that the remarks referred to be read. Judge Hubbell turned around and asked those at the table behind him — Captains Armes and Knox—Who is Col. Barr?” Before any reply was made Col. Dodge said that he did not think it competent for any withdrawals to be made, but that the judge could file his request, and that it might Amount to the same thing. THE QUESTION OF JURISDICTION. Judge Hubbell then presented aplea for what in a civil court would be a nolle pros., alleging a lack of jurrisdiction on the part of this court. He read “this at some length, but Col. Dodge replied that the court had already decided this point, and unless any member wished to dis- cuss it anew the trial would go on without in- terruption. TESTIMONY FOR THE DEFENSE. A. W. Cully was called by the defense. He was employed on inauguration day as a special officer on Pennsylvania avenue. He noticed a disturbance on the Avenue near the Vice-Pres- ident’s carriage, between three army officers, Col, Gibson, Capt. Armes, and Capt. Bourke. Capt. Bourke came riding toward him and told him to put that man, Armes, out of the proces- sion, Witness asked him what were .the charges against the man. Bourke replied that it mace no difference, that he had no authority in the line and had to be re- moved. Witness reminded the captain that there must be some charge against the man before he could put him out. Bourke repeated what he had said. when Armes remonstrated, saying that he did have authority for being there in his pocket. Capt. Bourke thereupon called on Private Sawyer, who PUT THE CAPTAIN OUT OF THE LINE, The latter then asked for Lieut. Kelly, and was directed to the Peace monument, and rode down that way. Ina few minutes he came back, and witness was going to stop him when Sawyer said: “It’s allright, lethim go,” and Armes rode ahead. In the opinion of the witness Capt. Bourke was rather excited, attracting some attention from those around him, but he was notin an intoxicated condition. He rode his horse up to Capt. Armes at a slow trot, LIEUT. GOV. WOODBURY’S TESTIMONY, The next witness was Lieut, Gov, Woodbury, of Vermont, who recognized the accused a8 “Geo. A. Armes,” whom he has known for twenty-five years. He explained that he met Armes in '63, when he, the witness, was on the veteran reserve corps of Vermont, having lost his arm, Armes came to him as a second lieu- tenant, and he had some acquaintance with him. He found him be a young man of good character, mild ‘dbspodition and good temper, Sincé then has had no personal knowledge of his character, He has some pecularities of char- acter which to him would excuse a eerie which would not be understood by tl who did not know hith. He was a man of good im- pulses who would do anything for a friend; perhaps a little suspicious of others. For all that the witness knew Armes had never done anything dishonorable or ungentlemanly. Of acum he had his faults, he explained, as all ave, Other witnesses Avenue incident ani house. THE INTERVIEW BETWEEN BEAVER AND ARMES, Judge Hubbell next called Mr. Edwin Smith, aresident of Washington. He was a little deaf and his questioners had to raise their voices somewhat above their usual tone, He has known Capt. Armes for fifteen or twenty years, and was present with him in the lobby of the Riggs house on the afternoon of March 27. The wit- ness produced ‘a little diagram,” and referred to points marked in it as he told the story of the nose-tweaking. He said that he was standing with Armes Jn front of the counter,con- versing, when Gov. Beaver appeared. When he saw Armes he said, holding out his band, “How do you do, Armes?” The major shook hands ‘with the governor and introduced the witness. Armes and the governor then entered into conversation. Armes began to complain of his treatment on inauguration day, and said that there had evi- dently been a conspiracy against him to dis- grace him, and that he thought the governor was partly responsible for it. The governor replied that he was sorry that he had not known of the matter until next morning, After some further talk Armes asked the governor why he had not replied to the letter he sent him. This SEEMED TO EXCITE THE GOVERNOR somewhat, and he replied that hé did not an- swer it because he did not consider it worthy of a reply; that he thought it insolent. Capt. Armes still pressed him for a reparation of some kind, but at this point the governor's at- tention was attracted by friends, and he turned. away. Armes followed him and still insisted upon some action on the part of Gov. Beaver. ‘the latter seemed very anxious to get rid of the captain, Armes held out his hufid to stop him and said: ‘Governor, I want this matter settled.” The governor still went on, when Armes, step- ping.up beliind him, extended his hand over his shoulder and passed it under the brim of his hat. The witness could not see whether or not the hand touched the governor's face. It was soon withdrawn, and Capt. Armes stepped back, and the governor turned and for four or tive seconds stood still, as though dazed, and undecided what to do. Then he made ALUNGE AT ARMES WITH HIS CRUTCH, Armes had retreated behind a pillar, and so escaped being hit by the blows of the crutch. Witness had taken up a position near iy two, with the fixed intention to interfere if es made any further assault on the governor, but Armes walked away. When Armes was insist- ing on the governor taking some action, he said: “Now governor, I am a humble citizen, and ee are the governor of Pennsylvania, but my onor is as dear to me as yours is to you.” The governor replied that he appeared there, not as governor, but as a private citizen, and that while in Weshington he waive all the rights and privileges appertaining to his official posi- tion. The witness thought that he was ina sition tosee any nose-pulling had there beenany, but he not only did not seé any such, but he was not sure that Armes touched Gov, Beaver. Something was said in relation to the gBov- ernor’s sending Armes a commission. It would seem that the governor had intended to send one. mre testimony as to the the trouble at the Riggs SOMEWHAT HARD OF HEARING, Col. Dodge, recognizing the deafness of the witness, asked Major Davis to ask him if the conversation between Armes and the governor was in such a tone that he could hear it. The reply was that a great portion of it was; all that he had testified to. He was then asked if he was not deaf, to some extent, and he replied that he was somewhat “hard of ‘hearing.” The court, at 12:30, adjourned until 1 o'clock. GOV, BEAVER AS A WITNESS, Gov. Beaver entered the court-room on his crutches and was sworn, Taking his seat he stated that his name was James A. Beaver and he recognized the accused. To Judge Hubbell he vouchsafed the infor- mation that he was chief marshal of the inau- ‘al parade.

Armes at the time the letter was sent, nor his business address. The governor eaid that he directed his private secretary to tabulate all of the applic: tions for staff appointments so that he could look over them intelligently. He in this way received a letter from ‘apt. Armes, asking to be appointed on the staff. Judge Hubbell read the commission as amem- ber Of the staff, signed by General Hastings, id addressed to “Gen.

This was the first thing that attracted his attention, and when he went home he looked into the matter and saw that it was all a mistake. The sppointments on his staff were made by himself when he be- came satisfied that they were of gentlemen who would dignify the occasion, The governor thought that Capt. Armes spoke to him himself about his name being off the list at his second visit to Washington bi the inauguration. He told Armes that HIS APPOINTMENT WAS A MISTAKE, and that when it was discovered that it had been the intention to appoint Gen. Armes his name was simply dropped, The governor thought that the person who mentioned Gen, Armes’ name to him had mére- ly suffered a lapse of memory. He had confidence inthe gentlemen around ‘him to think that none of them would want a man appointed to a staff position. “Did you ever hear of a dead man wanting anything?” asked the judge. THE GOVERNOR'S RETORT. “They do tell of a dead man who once asked \ for a drop of water to wet his tongue,” was the | governor's reply, at which there was a general Bort When he told Armes that he could not serve on his staff, the governor went on, the latter said that he hoped the governor would remember the stigma that would be cast upon his children when it became known that he had been appointed a staff poistion and then had not been allowed to serve, The governor told him that he had a eat «deal of sympathy — for the children, and that he would make out a commission so that he could show it to hig children in the future. LETTERS FROM ARMES. The governor, at the requst of Judge Hub- bell, produced two letters which he had re- ceived from Armes, ore of them this morning. One was dated April 2, and was a request that the governor request the Secretary of War that proceedings against him be stopped. If he was brought before a court-martial it meant his dismissal from the army. He preferred death to a loss of his commission, and) the governer, he said, stood in danger of be- oming his, Armes’ murderer, The other letter, ited April 16, purported to be AN APOLOGY FOR THE RIGGS HOUSE EPISODE. The direct examination closed here, and Major Davis went on to ask the governor about this trouble. Jndge Hubbell objected, but the court told the witness to £° on and answer the question. The governor then related his meeting with Armes in the lobby, about as de- | tailed by the witness Smith, Armes | had askéd him to apologize for baving been put out of the parade, which he, the governor, refused to do. He turned to go outof the lobby, and he heard Armes’ step behind him and Armes’ voice saying: ‘You won't apologize to me, then!” “I replied, in laughing sort of a way, that I could not apologize, merely intending to put him off. Then - FELT His HAND BRUSH BY MY FACE inarude sort of way, and I turned quickly, Fora moment I did not just know what to make of it, but when it occurred to me that he had intended an _ insult I pulled out one of my crutches and struck two or three times dt him, my crutch striking the pillar behind which he had jumped. When I saw that he had ran away I turned again and went out driving.” To Col, Dodge Gov. Beaver said he con- sidered the brushing of Armes’ hand before his face was something in the nature of both AN ASSAULT AND AN INSULT. He took it to be an attempt to get hold of his nose, and for the moment he was pretty indig- | nant. He thought that the blows he struck | and the weapon he used were pretty dangerous, and that it was fortunate that the crutch struck the pillar instead of Capt. Armes. DISTRICT GOVERNMENT. A RULED-OUT BUTTER DEALER. The attorneys of Mr. James Elker, the butter merchant, called on the Commissioners to-day in | regard to the recent order limiting the number | of butter stands in the Western market to six. Mr. Eiker recently purchased a stand which he isusing for his business. The butter | merchants at the market protested against | him carrying on the butter business, as there were already the designated number of stands there for that purpose. The market-master to- day ordered the stand closed. HIS RESIGNATION ACCEPTED The Commissioners have received the resig- nation of ex-Assessor Ros, A. Fish as a member of the school board, and it has been accepted. A DOCK LICENSE REVOKED. The Commissioners to-day revoked the li- cense granted to the Upper Potomac steamboat company to use the dock at the western end of M street southwest for the ness of the steamer Mery Washington. The Commissioners say that they feel justified in taking this action by the failure on the part of the company to observe the provis- ions of the license in not reporting:the cost of the wharf, if any, erected by them, and their effort to sublet the same and to collect wharf- age contrary to the license, BUILDING PERMITS have been issued as follows: C.

Prof. Peirce, of the const survey, read a paper on ““Determina- tions of Gravity.” Ata session held last night Prof. Marsh, president of the academy, an- nounced that the Watson gold medal, given to promote astronomical research to the citizen of any country who has made the most important discoveries in astronomy, had been awarded to Dr. Edward Schonfeld, of the University of Bonn, Germany, for his invaluable researches in this department of science. Dr. John 8. Billings read a memoir of the late Prof. Baird, paying high tribute to that sci- entist’s abilities and personal qualities, asa ocene Sir Charles Rassell—Who is He? To the Editor of Tar Eves Ina recent issue of a Philadelphia paper the was made, “Who is Sir Charles The inquiry was not unnatural, as late cable dispatches have styled Sir Charles Russell the Great English orator.” Sir Charles Russell is a native of the county of Armagh, Ireland. He was born in the town of Newry, in 1833, at the residence of his father, Arthur Ru He is a brother of the learned Jesuit, Rev. Matthew Russel, of Dublin, who has been so long the editor of the Irish Mon o ly. He is, besides, the nephew of the late v Rev. William Russell, D.D., the president of Maynooth colleg Y les Russell studied . Sir ¢ for the English bar. He knew that an Irish silk gown (that of, a “Queen's counsel”) could be got only by the lackeys of Dublin Castle. He knew that in Ireland no man can rise to emi- nence without being a Castle-hack, and he was not built for that kind of service. So, when he got ready to begin the study of law, he went to England and entered Lincoln’s Inn and_quali- tied for adinission to the English bar—just as many other Irishmen were compelled to do when the snobs of the legal profession in Ire- land refused to admit them to join the profes- sion in their native land. Sir Charles Russell was admitted to the En- glish bar about thirty years ago. He was Irish and a Catholic, but he outstripped the English- men who had been practicing since he first went to school in Newry. His practice ranked, almost from the first, among the leaders of the bar. Some eight or iho Seite ago he went over to Ireland and ran for aseat in parlia- ment for Dundalk. Since thefi he has been one of the most active of Mr. Parnell’s colleagues. Mr. Gladstone chose Sir arles Russell as the attorney-general for England in his last cabinet, and thus an Irishnan became the first Catholic attorney-general of England since the days of Elizabeth, J.D.

C. Palmer and consisted 6f Messrs, James L. Barbour. {Horatio Browning, H. L, Dauterich, Frank Schwartz, T. W. Smith, 8. C, Palmer, J. C. Ergood, P, 8. Foster, John Mil- ler, Barbour & Ross, Wm. H. Selden, E. Kurta Johnson, F. P. Madigan, T, J, Shryock, E. M, Willis and Frank Hume, The gentlemen were received in the room and introdu by Mr. Palmer,who followed with a short ¢} the switches in South Washington. He sta’ that the object of their visit was to request that whatever action the Commissionert con- templated in relation to the removal of private switches it be deferred until Cor convenes, He then spoke of the good the switches accomplished and of how ‘THE PROPERTY HAD ENHANCED IN VALTER since the railroad had been there, and said that be hed little doubt but that at some day it would be the great ware- house section of the city. Mr. James F. Barbour said if the Commissioners ordered the switches up, the consequence would be that the merchants,would have to unload their goods at some distant point —- extra expense, which would hav to be borne by the consumer. He said further that when Congress granted ‘a charter tothe railroad company the charter carried With it the facilities for doing business and & revocation of the permits for pritate switchs would be a serious detriment to their rights as citizens, ASKING PROTECTION, Mr. Madigan, representing the Portner Brew- ing company, Mr. Schryor and Mr. E. Kurtz Johnson, spoke of how property had aduanced since the railroad had been in South Washing- ing, the good the switches accomplished, and furnished numerous examples, Mr, T. W. Smith after he had gone over the subject of switches said that the delegation was not there in the interest of the railroad com- pany, but in behalf of the citizens and business men of Washington. That they were not there for the —— of indorsing any of the illegal acts of the railroad, but for the purpose of ask- ing protection to their rights as citizens, MAJOR RAYMOND SAID that the Commissioners had not taken apy ac= tion inrelation to the switches on the streets on which the railroad company was chartered to run. He believed they were legal and would never vote for their removal unless they were proven be a great nuisance, He then gave a history of the H-street track, of how he had recommend- ed the permit to issue when he first became | eye Commissioner, and how, after be had looked into the matter, he had found it to illegal and recommended its removal, He sail in conclusion, that had the question of thé public interests been the only one under con- sideration he would have voted for the tr to remain, as there was no doubt in hig mini that it greatly relieved the avenucs over which the railroad ran from obstruction. The Commissioners promised to remembe® their appeals when the question came up, fare scart €* To reach ail classes of readers and cus- tomers in the District of Columbia, advertise in Tae Eventne Stan.
