There were lively times at the regular monthly meeting of the Northeast Washington Citizens’ Association last night and when ad- journment came the president and secretary had resigned and the association was appar- ently on the verge of dissolution. The meeting was held in one of the rooms of the Peabody School building, and when President Millard called tho association to order there were but nine members of the association present. The President called for reports from the school committee, There was no report forthcoming, but a general discussion ensued on school mat- ters, TALKING ABOUT A BRANCH HIGH SCHOOL. Mr. Dodge called attention to the recom- mendation of the Commissioners as printed in last evening’s Star, providing for the erection of « high school in Northeast Washington, at a! cost of $75,000. He referred to the fact that there was no provision for a site, 80 he took it, the high school would be erected on the lot adjoining the Wallach School. If this infer- ence was not correct it would take at least $25,000 additional to purchase a suitable site, He would rather, however. sce the high school somewhere else. Mr. T. W. Smith thought that a new eight- room school house was needed in Northeast Washington in connection with the high school. At present he said there was a large | number of children unprovided for and next year there would be at least 10 per cent more. These must be looked after and an eight-room | school would be required to do it, APPROVING THE VIEWS OF THE COMMISSIONERS, Mr. J. T. L. De Land spoke at length on the | school question.

He thought that a high school at a cost of $75,000 would be more | | than ample for the needs of the northeast sec- he was of the opinion that the Com- missioners had displayed great wisdom i had considered thoroughly the needs of the northeast section. Another point, said Mr, was that three or four eight-grade Then why | not compel the larger children to attend the schools located at a greater distance and allow the smaller ones to attend the schools nearest | to their homes? He then referred to the use| of the Peabody annex, or, as itis more gener- ally known, CONNOLLY'S STABLE, A8 A SCHOOL HOUSE to accommodate those children unable to get seats, There was great objection to the use of | this building at the last mecting, and Mr. De | | Land thought that the best way to decide whether or not it was suitable aa a school | | would be to have the building inspector and | health officer examine it und pass upon its | sanitary condition. It was suggested thata | committee be appointed to wait upon the Com- missioners and bring this matter before them, but Mr. De Land thought it best not to do this, as he knew Superintendent Powell, Trustce Whelpley and Supervising Principal Stewart Were doing their utmost to provide seats for children out of school. Mr. Girouard and President Millard spoke against the use of the stable as a school house. Mr. Millard said it appeared that Northeast Washington was always ignored. He was not in favor of allowing ‘children whose parents lived in the country and paid no taxes to come in and crowd out children whose parents lived in the city and paid taxes, CHILDREN OUT IN THE COLD, Mr. Smith spoke of the rule regarding the public schools in the morning. He said that he noticed that children could not get into the schools until 8:45 o'clock, and in inclement weather this was a great hardship. A remedy | for this, he stated, would be to request the | building inspector to make provision fora porch or other suitable shelter for children in inclement weather, Messrs. Chappel and Girouard spoke against the rule governimg the opening of the schools in the morning. STREET IMPROVEMENTS. Mr. Chappell then took up the question of street improvements and spoke at length upon the course the association had pursued. He said that he was getting tired of the associa tion; it had outlived its usefulness, for the re son that it was not working in harmony, His remarks were based upon the efforts of a mem- ber of the association to have a certain street improved which the association as a body had not recommended. Mr. Girouard criticised the course of the Commissioners in regard to Northeast Wash- ington, and said that the alley between Mas: chusetts avenue, B, 10th and th had been blockaded upon an order of the Commission- ers, which was a gross injustice to the owners of property abutting thereon. The property owners, he said, went to Col. Robert for relief and he promised to remedy the state of affairs, ‘The permit was then revoked. A POINT OF ORDER. Here Mr. Smith raised the point of order that the association was not considering alleys and ked a ruling. The president maintained the point, but Mr. Girouard waxed warm and being called to order got mad and threw down his books, in which he, as secretary kept the minutes of the association, declaring that inasmuch as the association would not allow him to exercise his right as « member and criticise the actions of the Commissioners or the men (turning to M. Smith) who were interested in this infringe- | ment of the rights of an American citizen and | @ taxpayer HE WOULD RESIGN. Mr. Smith raised the point of order that there was nothing save the street schedule before the association and anything pertaining to alleys was out of order. Mr. Girouard obtained the floor again, al- though Mr. Smith's point was sustained, ‘and | spoke in strong terms against the Commission- | ers. He referred to the appropriation asked | for resurfacing streets and said it would all go tothe northwest section, for there were no | streets in the northeast to be resurfaced. Then | he reterred to the appropriation for cleaning | streets. The northeast got no benefit from | this; in fact, he knew of a gutter that had not been cleaned for a year. RAILROAD TRACKS AND STREET IMPROVEMENTS. Mr. Evan Tucker then introduced the follow- ing resolution: Whereas appropriation has been made and is now available for paving 3d , street northeast from H to L streets, and the | tracks of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad | Company atI street are from six to ten feet below grade at this point, which will necessi- tate the paving of inclined planes down to said | tracks, which planes will interfere materially | | with property on 3d street and will entail an | | expenditure of money which will be completely lost in the event of the said railroad company moving its tracks or conforming to grade; i Whereas as there is urgent necessity for the j improvement of all of the streets between Ist | street east and 9th street east and north of H | the same difficulties or others equally as diffi- cult to overcome wiil arise aud will cause more | or less loss of public money, deterioration of | private property and general inconvenience to the public, as in the case of 8d street, herein before cited; And whereas there is a clause in the charter &F said railroad company which stipulates in distinct terms to the effect that said railroad | company shall lay the tracks of its road | in conformity to the grade (us established by the authorities of the District) of ail of the streets and avenue which they may occupy or cross, we can see no reason why the Commissioners should not compel said railrgad company to comply with the terms of its charter, thereby allowing the streets of the northeastern section of the city to be improved at grade and opening this vast section of tRe city to the people to whom it be- tongs, the use of which they have been so long and unjustly deprived of; Therefore, be it resolved. That the Citizens’ As- sociation of Northeast Washington does hereby a mort the Commissioners of the District of Columbia to issue au order directing the Balti- | Mr. W. 5. Nicholson, Mr. A. A.

Austin of S street, U will be sent to the Commissioners, Mr. De Land then moved for an adjourn- ment, PRESIDENT MILLARD THINKS IT TIME TO RESIGN. Mr. ard rose and stated that inasmuch as the Northeast Washington Citizens’ Association was doing absolutely nothing, he thought it about time to resign, especially as he could do more good by himself. Mr, Smith raised the point of order that the question of adjournment was before the asso- ciation, but Mr. Millard insisted upon tender- ing his resignation, He had made up bis mind, he said, and — would shake it. ‘Mr, Smita wanted Mr. Millard to resign in writing. giving his reasons. Besides, said Mr. Smith, your resignation at this time will leave the association without any head. Mr. Millard called attention to the position of vice president and insisted upon his resigna- tion being accepted then and there. Mr. Chappel said that perhaps it would be well to leave the resignation until the next meeting, when, probably, the association would break up. Mr. Millard agreed to this, but stated that nothing would alter his ultima- tum. The meeting then adjourned. SOCIETY, Many Weddings in Prospect—Personal Notes of Interest.

Judge Cox Makes an Order in Favor of the Bondholders of 1844, Judge Cox today heard in the cases of G. 8, Brown et al. against the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Company (consolidated) the application of the bondholders of 1844 for an order similar to that made by Judge Alvey in the Maryland court to deliver the property to them. Gen. Bradley T. Johnson and Mr. G. E. Hamilton appeared for the petitioners and presented the papers and the answers of the parties at in- terest. The judge made the order asked for. The order recites thatif the trustees under the mortgage of June 5, 1848, shall within thirty | days deposit in the Farmers and Merchants’ (N al Bank of Baltimore to the order of the j surviving trustees under the mortgage of |May 15, 1878, a sum equal to i on that mortgage, to be paid over to the holders, or deposit money or bonds in lieu, as provided for in the decree of the Maryland court (Judge Alvey), and cause to be published notice of the fact and bring into court $20,000 for the payment of costs and expenses, including compensation to the receivers, the said trustees (under mortgage dated 1848) shall be subrogated in place of the bondholders of 1878 and to enter into possersion of the property: and to use and exercise the franchises of the company and y May 1 nextat their own cost put in repair said canal and operate it as « public waterway. They are required to pay all current expense: for operating and keeping it in repair; to re- imburse the trustoes the mount provided to pay the costs of these proceedings, both here | and in the Washington county, Md., court; the | expenses and compensation of receivers and of the trustees under the mortgage of 1878, The cause is retained for such other orders as the mature of the cause may require, and for the determindtion of the rights and priorities of the ‘ties, aud it is made without prejudice to the rights of par- ties claiming liens on the revenues or on con- tracts, Says Her Husband Deserted Her. Charlotte J. Condron, by Messrs, Shepperd and Lavender, has filed a bill for divorce from her husband, John L, Condron, with cus- tody of their child. They were married by Rev. Dr. Faunce in April, 1884, and moved to Providence, R.I., when, she says, her husband became addicted to drink and-ili-treated her while she was sick in bed and she was obliged to return toher parents, She says she re- peatedly resumed her relations with him, but was obliged, by his treatment, to leave him, and in January, 1887, he deserted her, going to Milwaukee, Wis. ee Speaker Reed at Hill’s Home. Speaker Reed addressed the largest and mo 6 enthusiastic mass meeting ever held in Elmirat N.Y., last evening. Hundreds of people were, turned away. The Speaker was suffering from @ severe cold and it was with the greatest diffi- culty thathe was able to speak. However, he held the large audience for over an hour.

Mr. Dunbar has lately made heads in that material of his brother artists Weyl and Uhl that are marvels of artistic spirit, joined to faithful portraiture; and not the least surpris- ing part of the achievement lies in the fact that the two busts last named were each the result of a single sitting only. It is extremely rare that an artist is capable of doing so much in so short a time, but where one possesses that faculty he is doubly fortunate, as the best ef- forts in art are always secured in the white heat of first inspiration, n the supreme point can be reached without interruption, — To meet an often expressed desire in that direction, establish evening classes for drawing in the Corcoran School of Art, and the several rooms will be opened for that purpose as soon as the necessary appliances can be procured and put in place, Already some twenty-five pupils are registered for evening instruction, and this number will doubtiess be augmented consider- ably ina short time after the opening, as the facilities thus provided will accommodate quite 4 number, especially of young men, who are not able to avail themselves of the privileges af- forded by the day classes, — Miss Tiers, De Lancy Gill, Moser, and possibly two or three other Washington artists who print in water colors have sent drawings to tho exhibition of the New York Water Color Miss Tiers has been quite an invalid for some time past, and it is only lately that she has been able to work. Her contributions are a por- trait of a German peasant boy and a charming little bit of still life. Colorado demand personal attention, Mr. A. G. Heaton has closed his studio here for the time being, and will spend the next three or four months in the Rocky mountain region, Al- though Mr, Heaton’s special work has been portrait and figure painting, it is to be hoped rary home will so impress him that he may ring back a portfolio of sketches and studies portraying at least a portion of its available material, Most of the scenery there is, how- ever, on such a stupendous scale as to deter the efforts of artists less ambitious than a Bier- stadt or a Hill. — The ninth autumn exhibition of the Na- tional Academy of Design commences on Mon- day, November 24, and closos Saturday, Decem- ber 20.

Mr. placed in the office doorway of the New York Iribune, —Among the many new and attractive study-sketch in pastel colors, by Michetti, of a portion of his famous painting “The Proces- sion of Corpus Christi,” now owned by the Italian government. Although fragmentary in character, viewed with reapecs to the artist's purpose in its execution, it is nevertheless an entirely satisfactory composition, including, as it does, the central figure in the procession and appropriate accessorics, That it is remarkably vigorous in drawing and strong and rich in color need not be said to those familiar with Michetti’s work. — Max Weyl spent a part of August on tho Atlantic side of the eastern shore of Maryland, and the month of September—which is far the pleasantest season of the year for that locality— | in the more picturesque parts of the Adiron- | dacs. Each field porn strongly attractive. and from both he brought back considerable material to be wrought into finished pictures | during the winter, Already he has received | orders for two of his Adirondac landscapes, and | he is now engaged on a bit of marshy seashore, near Ocean City, that will probably be added to the collection of a gentieman in Boston, to which city it is to be sent when completed, —In a commercial point of view, the art event of the coming winter will doubtless be the sale of Mr. George I. Seney’s collection of paintings, which is to take place in New York some time in February. Mr. Seney is a liberal and industrious gatherer of pictures, and as his present collection is said to stand him something like @ million dollars, its dispersion will be pretty sure to bring together the prin- cipal buyers of the country. This is Mr. Seney’s second clearing out of hiv galleric | the first taking place,—in consequence of fin: | cial reverses,—several years ago, and from it the Corcoran Gullery obtained ‘The Helping | Hand,” one of the most popular paintings in its collection, What leads Mr. Seuey to this | step ut the present time is not understood, but | the financial outcome of the first sale was 80 successful that the experiment may be tried again from a purely speculative or commercial motive. It may be, however, that it comes from a desire to form a new collection, possibiy on a somewhat different basis, which affords an exhilaration both pleasant and profitable to a connoisseur who is able to select wisely and buy to edvantage. ‘The sale is to be made by the American Art Association, and a large-paper iljustrated catalog, to be sold for forty dollars | or thereabouts, is now in course of prepara- tion, | Woman’s National Press Association. ‘The Woman's National Press Association held ita regular meeting at Willard’s Hotel last night. Four new members were admitted. Mrs. A. H.
