RAPID PROGRESS MADE IN TURNING ACRES INTO TOWN LOTS—A PROPOSED ENLARGEMENT OF THE OAK VIEW COTTAGE—PROPERTY ON THE CONDUIT ROAD AND OTHER MATTERS. XACTLY how much land outside of the suburbs bas been subdivided into city lots is not known. Avery large proportion, however, of the totalarea has been visited by the surveyor and now bears an abundant crop of real Ss estate sign boards, The latter are a familiar feature of suburban | scenery, and are constant reminders to those who go out into the country that the oppor- tunities for investment in real estate are not | yet exhausted. While the enterprising specu- | lator in suburban property has reached the lines of the District, and in some instances gone beyond, there are tracts of land bordering on the city limits which still remain in their origi- nal acreage. Every year, however, witnesses a decrease in this class of property. Recentl; has been stated in Tue Stak, negotiations ave been in progress for the purchase by a syndi- cate of the tract of land on the west side of Connecticut avenue adjoining Boundary. It is now known as Phelps Park, and during the present season afternoon concerts by the Ma- rine Band have been given there under the auspices of a number of society people. These concerts have been the occas.on of fashionable gatherings on pleasant afternoons. It is now stated that the negotiation for the sale of this tract has been mt eget The owner is Mr. William Walter Phelps, the present minister to Germany. He purchased the property some eight years ago, and it was stated at the time that he intended to erect a handsome home there for himself. He. however, attempted no improvements, and the old house has re- mained there in much the same condi- tion as it has been for years. It has proved tobe a very profitable investment, as it is stated that the price paid for the property was about $260,000, There are seme 200,000 square feet of ground and the rate per foot was there- fore over 85 cents. This is exclusive of street: which, if the property is subdivided and place on the market. as is said to be the intention of the syndicate, will have to be extended in ac- cordance with the plan of the city. This prop- erty forms a part of the connection between Washington Heights and the city. Between Phelps Park and Kalorama on the west lie the properties of Mr. Leroy Turtle and Mrs. Kall, which are still undivided. On the east is the large piace owned by Mr. Dean and a tract of land owned by heirs in Philadelphia, Then comes the Chipman tract, whieh is now sub- divided. ‘Lhe importence of the Phelps sule, aside from the price paid, lies in the fact that a link im the connection between the suburbs in that locality and the city is avout to be made. ‘The growth of the city is gradually reducing all the land aloug. the boundary lines from acres into town lots. PUSHING SUBURBAN PROPERTY. The public interest in suburban property, which of late years has been very alert, has been stimulated this season by unusual efforts made by owners of property of this character, Mr. Washington Danenhower who has the management of the subdivision of the old Cal- vert place on the Washington branch of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad just beyond ‘tsville, has run free excursion trains from the city to that place for the past ten days. He has a band of music provided and furnishes afree lunch of coffee and sandwiches on the grounds. He told a Star man recently that couvinced of their superiority over all others, Jviivs Laxspuxen, 13th and F streets. Bapy Carriaces, Basy Carktaces.—Over 75 different styles.

CITY AND DISTRICT. AM USEM ENTS TONIGHT. Avpavon's.—Carleton Opera Company in “Dorothy.” his daily expenses amounted to $600. He has sold during that time, he states, a daily average of some forty lots, and he intends to continue this program until he has disposed of all the lots offered for sale. Suburban properties in other directions about the city have been put on the market in the same way, although, per- haps, not on quite such an elaborate scale ‘These and similar enterprises show that there must be an abundance of money a ing investment. ‘The number of acres reduced to building lote during the past year has been very large and still new subdivisions are con- stantly being made. Along the lines of the various steam railroads leading into the city there have been a great many incipient towns started. Similar activity is wituessed along the street car lines extending into the country. Large tracts of land in the vicinity of the Eckington electric road, the Brightwood street car line and the Georgetown ard Tenleytown electric road have been divided into building sites. SOME PREVAILING PRICES, On the line of the latter road work is still in progress on the subdivision of Tunlaw Heights and of Oak View, the latter being the former residence of ex-President Cleveland. In the former subdivision some of the lots fronting on the Tenleytown road have been sold, it is stated, for 50 cents per foot. A number of lots in the Vak View subdivision have also been sold at prices ranging from 35 to 50 cents. These figures will give some idea of thecharacter ot the movement which is in progress in the suburbs, There is another interesting fact in connection with suburban development, and that is that in some instances the owners of the property do not stop with m: e ordinary improve- ments, which in mgst stances consist of plow- ing up the streets and perhaps planting trees, but they lay brick sidewalks, put down sewer and water pipes and introduce un electric light plant. In one instance even asphalt pavement was laid on the country streets, ALONG THE CONDUIT ROAD. The attractions of the suburbs are never likely to remain hidden for lack of persons to call public attention to them. Just now the ad- vantages of the country along the Conduit road are being made prominent. No doubt the impulse in this direction was started by the purchase by the Baltimore and Ohio railroad man tract lying this side of the Chain Bridge. There is « good deal of specu- lation as to just what this move on the part of the railroad company means, but there seems to be a well-settled conviction that a branch line will be extended from the Metropolitan road to that point. A railroad down this side of the Potomac river to Georgetown is among the possibilities, All tis section of couatry needs, the property owners say, is rapid and easy com: munication with the cityand then the Rhine country of the District, as this locality is called, will be enjoyed by others than the mere casual Visitor, ENUARGING OAK VIEW. The present owner of Oak View, Mr. F. G. Newlands, is having plans prepared for an en- largement of the house formeriy oceupied by ex-President Cleveland. Mr. Newlands intends to live there fora portion of t! ar at least. He will probably build adjoin the present residence a Louse of similar sic w buaildi Th t being connected by a passage way re about an acre of ground about the place wh: etained when the subdivision w m i that ifallthe lots are sold at the prices the property will clear 100,000 exclusive of the house and grounds about it. ‘TWO NEW HoUsEs, Work on two new houses for Messrs. L. A. Barr and F, T. Sanner has been begun on 20th street between R aud streets. They will have a frontage of 50 feet, will be built of brown stone up to the first-story window silis and the stone work is further continued up the two circular bays to the second story; the rest of the fronts are of pressed bricks. ‘They will be three stories and basement in height, with half mansard red slate roofs.

Indications that the Decision Will be in Favor of the Claimants. An order was published from the Court of Claims yesterday which indicates very clearly that the forthcoming decision upon the cele- brated Berdan claim, which has bgen under argument for nearly two decades, will favor the claimants, This case is probably one of the most celebrated that has come before the court, involving upward of half million dollars, The claim is by the Berdan Fire Arms Company for recovery from the government of compensation for the use of a part of Hiram Berdan’s inventions in the rifle adopted by the War Department. ‘The case has been a tedious one, argument after argu- ment having been made to prove that it was these devices and none other that the govern- ment had taken. The court Monday handed downa memorandum remanding the case for further argument as to whether the government was liable and to what an extent, Yesterday Judge Davis rendered a decision, in which he sa, We conclude that the government is using, in the Springfield gun, the ejector device cov- ered by letters patent No. 83436, owned by plaintifis. As to the statute of limitations we see no reason to change the conclusions reached by us upon this subject in the case of Butler agt, the United States. We are not prepared to render a final decision as to the liability of defendants for the use of the ex- tractor device, without further proceedings, the nature of ‘which is indicated in an order filed herewith remanding the cause.” saute aa CITY AND SUBURBAN RAILWAY.
