Are Prehistoric Skeletons Found in Ohio Covered by a State Law? Mr. W. K. Moorehead, who is connected with the Smithsonian Institute, seems to have got- ten himself into » sort of comic-opera scrape outin Ohio. Mr. Mvorehead is a well-known man of means and for some time past has been spending his money and time in afruitful study of that grand relic of prehistoric times on the | Little Miami river which they call Fort An- cient. A few weeks ago he made his most re- | markable and valuable discovery—a tomb with’! a dozen or more skeletons. And now some | Jealous rivals have ¢prung upon him the Ohio | statute which makes it a penitentiary offense | for one who “without lawful authority willfully opens the grave or tomb where any corpse has been deposited.” : When the fact was called to the attention of | Coi. Wilson, curator of prehistoric anthropology | at the Smithsonian, he said to a Stan reporter that he did not think there were any grounds | tor a case. “If there were,” said he, “the cor- oner of the District of Columbia must have been wofully derelict in his duty in not hold- | ing an inquest over the body of the Egyptian mumi the museum.

But Capt. Peachy Was Not to Be so Easily 2 Caught. He sidled up to the desk at the city post office, where letters are registered for a con- sideration, and asked for the snperintendent of that division. He was smooth and ready conversutionalist, but his pocket book was | bagging at the knees and he was evidently in the last throes of financial atrophy. “My good friend,” were the first words he fired at Capt. Peachy, “you once did me a favor and Iam never forgetful of my benefactors. Last New Year's day you relieved the impend- ing tightness in my moncy market by advanc- ing mes quarter. I am now come to repay you” Capt. Peachy responded that, while his chari- table deeds might or might not be too numer- ous to remember, he really could not recollect this particular Coy aaa “Aly, but you did, though; a quarter, I re- manbsr. “That debt ‘of honor has been hang- ing over me ever since.

Peachy, “were it not for the fact that my wife is a Quaker and will not allow me to bring a piece of ribbon into the house. You make a perfectly plain basket and send it up and we'll call it square.” ‘The card receiver has not yet materialized, but the swindle was so clever that it almost de- served to succeed, for the way this same timid basket maker imposed on the well-known be- nevolence of the boys on Newspaper itow last winter was a caution. © MARY BRAXT 'S TRIAL, Charged With Causing tke Death of Cath- erine Watkins. Inthe Criminal Court Mary Braxton, colored, was tried for manslaughter yesterday, Mr. T. €. Taylor for the defense. The victim was Catharine Watkins of 724 Ist street southwest, hemorrhages of the brain, the result of a blow with a broomstick or @ fall caused by de- |fendant. The parties were employed at the Howard House annex, on C between 434 and 6th | streets—the accused in the laundry and the de- | ceased as chambermaid. It is alleged that | they had previous quarrels, and on the morn- | ing of February 12 they had some words, when | it is claimed Mary struck the deceased and knocked her senselens, but as to whether it was with broom of fist tho witnesses do not agree. She was taken to her home and 4reated for con- cussion of the brain and died there a month aftor of hemorrhage of the bram. Mary Braxton, the defendant, asserted that the deceased was abusing her for having re- orted that she carried away victuals and her ughter, Julia King, also quarrelled with her, and when she came up to her she pushed her out of the way and she fell. She denied posi- tively that she struck her. After argument the court at 1:45 o'clock gave the case to the jury, with a short charge. ‘The jury returned # verdict of guilty, with recom- mendation to mercy. ——— HEBREW PERSECUTION IN RUSSIA. Suggestion for a Mass Meeting to Discuss the Subject of a National Protest. ‘To the Editor of The Evening Star: The associated press cablegram from Paris | of an alleged interview had with Baron De | Hirsch must have made as deep an impression upon non-Israelites as it has upon those who are born in the faithy for here is a man, who is devoting not only the best years of his life,but what is more practical ix our age of material- ism, giving his millions of dollars in aid of suffering humanity. Therefore when. he gives statements claiming them as facts they must be accepted by the outside world as traths. And he says that the Russian government to- day is guilty of practices and cruelties unheard of in history, and that men, women and chil- dren are taken at the midnight hour and whipped and chained and driven homeless as wanderers in the inclement climate of Russia; that in the cemeteries of that country women give birth to their offspring and perish from bunger and exposure. Under a condition of things like thee I ask how long can the Chris- tian communities who are on terms of national and personal relations with Ruswia afford to ‘ermit these eruelties to be practiced? Baron He Hirsch, in @ very mild and conciliatory form, says that more than czar is un- aware of these outrages, and that the subor- ‘bargeable Cinates of hus government aloneare cl therewith Let us hope and trust that this supposition is correc ‘that the caar is being slandered by the outside world.

D.C. SATURDAY, MAY 30, 1891—SIXTEEN PAGES, REAL ESTATE GossIr, Increase Im Property Values During the Past Few Years. THE PROPOSED EXTENSION OF MASSACHUSETTS AVENUE—THE METHODIST’ UNIVERSITY sITR— SOME FINE SUBURBAN RESIDEXCES — OTHER MATTERS OF IXTEREST. ‘HERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL SALES OF property recently which are rather notable as showing the appreciation in values. One sale in particular was that of the entire aquare between 10th, 11th, W streets and Florida ave- nue. It contained only about 89,000 square feet, and yet nearly 94,000 was paid, which is atthe rate of over $1 per foot. Inthe judg- ment of conservative real estate dealers this is notahigh figure for this property, and yet compured with former values it shows an ap- preciation that would make the mouth of the ordinary investor fairly water. By former values ix not meant the prices that prevailed before the war or even for a good many years after the war. Twenty-five years ago 10 cents would havo been considered a big price, and to go further back « few hundred dollars would have been all that the property would have brought under the most favorable circumstances. It is not necessary, however, to appeal to the recollection of the oldest inhabitant in order to deduce evidence showing the increase in values of this particular piece of property or of any other in the city or in the suburbs. A comparison with the record of sales made five or six years ago would show an advance of between 50 and 100 per cent. Within that brief period the city has grown out to its bounds and has gone beyond them. Then the squares lying at the extreme limits of the city were neglected commons. Now they are built up for the most part compactly and Boundary street or as it is now more euphoni- ously termed Florida avenue is no longer a re- mote point in the count: Six years ago the square fronting on Fl avenue between 19th and 20th streots and of about the same di- mensions as the square just sold wax bought for 42 cents per foot. ‘The newspaper notices of the sale at the time stated the price was re- garded xs much higher than it was thought it Was possible to obtain. Any, real estate broker would consider that an offer of 100 per cent in advanco of that figure would now not only be a prudent one to make, but in case it was ac- cepted that it would’ prove to be a very desirable investment. An advauce of 100 per centin values within a period of five or six years would appear to a conservative man Father a rapid gait of progress. But there are instances, both in the city and in the suburbs, where the advance has becn three and four times as great and yet it has never been said of Washington as of a reat many other cities that there us been w Loom in realestate here. ‘The rea- son fs that the city during the period named has been growing in population steadily. ‘The jus figured showed thut there bad been dur- ing the past ten years an average yearly addi- tion of 3,090 souls to the population of the city. Now Washington occupies the fourteeuth place in the list of the cities in the United States rated according to population. TO IMPROVE STRERT CAR FACILITIES. The changes that have taken place in the sur- Toundings of the square just purchased during the past five or six years ure pretty good indi- cations of the causes which have led to the increase in its value. Then the street cars ran out Lith street as far as O street. Now the line has been continued all the way to the city limits and it has been announced that the company own- ing this line intends soon to make a change in | the motive power employed and, instead of horses, introduce some more ‘rapid mo- tor. ‘The extension of their line and the Proposed large outlay of money to make such a change are of course the nat- ural result of the growth in population | of that section of the city. People who used to think Qand B streetea good ways out now think nothing of going out to T and W streets and locating their homes. What is true of this section of the city can practically be said of all sections of the city and in the suburbs the ad- vance of values have been proportionately reater for the reason that the starting point in values was inuch less in the case of suburban property than with city property. BILIOUS AND ANTI-BILIOU# VIEWS. The question is frequently asked, ‘Is this in- crease in values going to continue?” The an- swors given naturally vary with the tempera- ment of the individual questioned. Some men are more sanguine than others. A Stax man has put the question toa number whose judg- ments are supposed to be rather sound on real estate values, and without making an exact medical diagnoxis of their conditon the conclu- sion was reached that there are about three opinions which may be said to prevail. One is mildly bilious, another semi-bilious and the third is anti-bilious. ‘The latter class is de- cidedly in the majority and their views are based upon the continued growth in population and prosperity of this city. They say that the city is now conceded to be the most beantiful in the world; that as the country grows this city is bound to grow and to attract to it a desirable class of people. ‘They are also of the opinion that property values are only high in a relative sense; that compared with values that pre- vailed when ‘the city was emerging from the condition of an overgrown village. They believe that, compared with prices in ‘other cities,’ real estate here is not high, for, if it was outside capital would not seek investment in Washington to the ex- tent that it does now. At any rate they enter- tain the conviction that the city and its ad- Vantages asa place of residence and for in- yestment is a good and sufficient reason for the present basis of values. In conclusion they recommend @ course of medical treatment for those who differ from them in these views. MASSACHUSETTS AVENUE EXTEXDED. The work of surveying the line of Massa- chusetts avenue extended from Rock creek through to the Tenleytown road and beyond to the grounds of the new Methodist University has been begun. Only 210,000 is available for the work of defining ‘the lines of the avenue and for doing such other super- ficial work le. It is, of intended to attempt to open and grade the avenue between these ints. The money is not sufficient. But this fund will be enough to begin the work, and be- fore long this fine boulevard will be an accom. plished fact. As a direct line of com- munication with the city it will be of great advantage to the Methodist University enterprise, which is just passing its initial stage. ‘The money needed to pay for the ground which has been contributed by the citizens of Wash- ington is practically all subscribed and Bishop Hurst, who has been the motive power of the entire enterprise, as well as the citizens of Washington generally, may well be, congratu- lated that the success of this splendid project is now well assured. One of the problems connected with the ex- tension of Massachusetts avenue has been, it is stated, settled ins satisfactory manner to all concerned. The line of the avenue in its direct extension would pass through the grounds of the new naval observatory and the authorities of the observatory ve objected such an extension for the reason that sot of travel so near the build- by the movement communicated through the earth canse a variation in the in- struments. It has now been decided by the observatory authorities t¢ lay out Massachu- setts avenue through the grounds, making the line curve out toward the north and away from the buildings, so that the travel would be ata suflicient distance to prevent the danger of affecting the instruments. The deflection in the avenue will not be great, and this arrange- ment will avert the necessity of an appeal to Congress, as would have been necessary if the observatory authorities had refused to allow the avenue to-pass throngh their grounds. FINE COUNTRY RESIDENCES. Some handsome suburban. residences are to be erected in this locality. Mr. Charles C. ui f be | Brother Michael servatory is building reéidence. It will be located in the subdivision of Fairview Heights ‘and, like the other residences men’ above, it will have what real estate brokers term “all the modern improvements.” 4 COUNTRY HOTEL.

The alignment in every case was capital and uniforms and guns were as roper as could well be ys were nervous, and strange if they did. not show it in ‘The rivalry between the companies, although good natured and gentlemanly, is yet intense and every young man was out last night to do his best to win the standard for his company; and then, too, all the pretty girly from the High School, and there are a lot of them, were on hand to see the contest and applaud the over two important events—that of the annual meeting of that peculiar religious body, the ‘Tankards or German Baptists, and the great bicycle meet to follow soon after. Hotel facili- ties have been increased, boarding houses reju- Venuted, and the familiar Washington city sign —‘Rooms for Rent”—thrown to the breeze. The city officials, recognizing the importance of the occasions, have set to work clean- ing and repairing the streets, and the toot and snort of the cumbersome steam street roller is heard from early morn to dewy eve. Although the business sessions of the Baptist assembly do not begin until Tuesday next the city is alive with members of the soci- ety. all of whom are readily distinguished by their peculiar dress—that of the men in their black felt hats with immense rims and their “cutaway,” but more famitiar and vulgarly termed “shad-belly coats,” and the women witl their strikingly | plain-made dresses and ‘skaker” or “poke” bonnets.
