Assistant Attorney Thomas Thinks Mr. Les- ter’s Objection Not Well Taken. On the 4th of August Mr. O. B. Lester, 223 Indiana avenue, sent tothe Commissioners » lengthy communication protesting against their action as to the site of the new cable tracks on C treet between Ist and New Jersey avenue, and submitting some facts in regard to the pro- posed location for their consideration. He {makes the point that if one track is laid on the south side of the street where the sidewalk now is, it will be right onthe building line of C street when New Jersey avenue is reached. He submits that the Commissioners have no authority to remove either of the present tracks and lay them in any other place. He protests ‘against the destruction of the fine trees on the parking and says that he finds nothing in the appropriation bill permitting an expenditure for the purpose of tearing up the street and remodeling it to suit any street ear company. He does not see how authority to take up one kind of track and lay another kind on the same roadway can be construed to mean authority to remove the roadway or roadbed to another place. A number of other objections on the same line are also made. POINTS NOT WELL TAKEN. Assistant Attorney Thomas, to whom the communication was referred, returned it to- day with the opinion that the points of objec- tion are not well taken. In his opinion Mr. Thomas says: “I do not agree with Mr. Lester that if the'plan of laying these tracks as Proposed by the Commissioners is carried out it will be right on the building line of C street where it reaches the west line of New Jersey avenue. That it would do 0 is not material point, as such a line is purely imaginary. “As to the point that the Commissioners have no authority to permit the company to relay its tracks except on the lines it now oc- eupies, Ido not think it is well founded. The charter of this company requires its tracks to be laid in the center of the streets and avenues of the city, as near as may be, having refer- ence, of conrse, to other tracks and gas and water mains. "The act of March 2, 1989, requiring the two principal street railroad com- panies to relay their tracks and change their motive power does not require, I think, that the tracks of the Washington and Georgetown company should be relaid exactly on the same lines on Indiana avenue, at least, but that they should be relaid as ne practicable in the center of the street at that point, having refer- ence to the tracks of the Metropolitan com- a THE DESTRUCTION OF THE TREES. As to the destruction of the trees Mr. Thomas holds that if trees are in the way of 3 great public improvement the trees should be removed and the improvements made. Mr. Lester's assumption is groundless when he claims that the proposed change of the track location is to suit the convenience of the rail- road company and that the expense to which the District will be put in the relocation of the tracks is all for the benefit of the company. The only motive the Commissioners can ha in making the company change the location of its tracks at this point is to promote public safety. The parking of the streets is a tem- porary affair, designed largely to save the "unnecessary expense of paving large spaces not needed for _ public travel, and may be curtailed or removed by the authorities at any time when the public inter- ests demand it. The Commissioners have at their disposal money with which the work made necessary by the change in location of the tracks can be done if they think the pub- lic interests require that it should be done. Mr. Thomas does not think that the Commissione if they should direct the Washington a Georgetown Railroad Company to relay its tracks on Indiana avenue on different lines, will violate any la THE GIL 18 \TISFIED. Rosalie Geist Wants to Stay Where She ie— ‘The Orphan Asylum’s Side. Yesterday the hearing of the case of Rosalie Geist on the petition of the German Orphan Asylum for writ of habeas corpus directed to Burnett Trueworthy was resumed before Chief Justice Bingham in the Equity Court room. Messrs. Simon Wolf and W. G. Johnson ap- peared for the petitioners and Messrs. Joseph Daniels and George Taylor for the respondent. Mrs. Trueworthy testified that she had some time age gone to the German Asylum and ar- ranged to take the girl as a domestic, but that the girl was afterward placed with Mr. Och- mann, and that she came to her and said she desired to live in her family, and then, after a visit had been paid to Mr.Oehmann, the girlcame to live at her (Mrs. Trueworthy's) house, with the understanding that $8 per month wages to be paid either to the girl, her father or e asylum committee. There was a promise, but no agreement between Trueworthy and the asylum, that the girl should come to live with the Trueworthy family. ‘THE GIRL IN HER OWN BEHALF. Rosalie Geist testified that she issixteen years of age, and while in the asylum she desired to leave and go to Mr. Trueworthy’s house, but that some of the directors of the asylum ob- Jected to her going there, and she went to Mr. Ochmaun’s to make a trial, but she was not content there, and of her own accord went to Mrs. Trueworthy’s and asked her to take her at the close of the month and Mrs. Trueworthy agreed todo so. Afterward Mrs. Trueworthy came after her in a carriage and she went will- ingly to live with her. In answer to questions she said that she wished one-half of her wages be given to herself and the other balf mght | be placed in her father’s hands, and she desired that she migist be released from the control of the asylum and left to the control of ber father. Mr. Johnson urged that the asylum was the child's legal guardian and wished only to do its duty ay uci, and if the girl was upheld in going wherever she pieased their efforts in her bebaif would go for naught. Mr. Daniels for the respondent claimed that the girl was able to take care of hervelf and did not wish to be farmed out as aslave. She was Willing that the institution should take her money if her father said so, but was unwilling to work for Mr. Ochmann. MR. WOLF YOR THE ASYLUM TRUSTEES. ‘Mr. Simon Wolf for the asylum spoke of its work and the necessity for the enforcement of ite wise rules. The benefit had been seen in the good men and women it had raised—self-reli- ant, good citizens and upright fathers and mothers. The girl had, after the father had been left with no wife to care for his ehil- dren, beer. placed in the asylum, where she had learned to work, and she had been placed in a Christian home, which she left. ihe asylum did not raise girls to dance with dudes, but to earn their living as honest women. ‘The chief justice took the case under advise- ment. es The Fast of Ab. The observance of the Jewish fast of Ab com- memorating the fall of the Jewish nationality and the destruction of the temple was begun Inst evening and continues until this evening. ‘There is no music during the fast, either at the synagogues or at the homes of the orthodox Jews, and in some cases they do not wear shoes in synagogues or at home, but only on the streets. With this class the fast is so strict that not a ticle of food or a drop of water passes their while it continues. During the time they read of the fall of the Jews and pray for their restoration to a nationality and for the rebuild~ ing of Jerusalem. ae Campers Coming Home. ‘The members of “Camp Heito, No. 9,” after ‘stay of six weeks at Colonial Beach, Va., are about to break camp for home: This camp is composed of J.

SOME INTERESTING TESTIMONY GIVEN BEFORE THE ROCK CREEK PARK APPRAISERS YESTER- DAY IN REGARD TO THE VARIOUS PARCELS TO ‘BE TAKEN BY THE GOVERNMEST. The Rock Creek Park appraisement commis- sion (Mesers. James L. Norris, George J. Seuf- ferle and Norval W. Burchell) held a lengthy session yesterday, it being nearly 5 o'clock when some one suggested that dinner hour was near. After Tax Stan's report closed Mr. Herron testified to the sale of » 92-acre tract in Bright- wood Park for 90,000 in September last and he considered it worth $150,000 at that time. On cross-examination by Mr. Perry Mr. Her- ron said that he considered htwood Park worth more than three times as much as the Carpenter tract. The pi National Park adds greatly to the value of the property in the vicinity. y land in the District capable of subdi is worth $1,000. There was much land in the park valuable only as park land. THE ZEPP TRACT. John O. Johnson testified as to the Zepp tract (Campbell and McKeown heirs) that it afforded a grand view of Brightwood, Tenley- town and the city and it was worth 2 to 8 cents per foot; $900 to $1,000 per acre. cross-examination Mr. Johnson named College Park, Aubrey Heights, addition to Charlton Heights and other subdivisions with which he had had something to do. Mr. Perry asked if every owner of lands in the park subdivided their land and put it on the market what would be the effect. Mr. Johnson replied if the subdivisions are made and buildings are erected prices would £0 ap.and otherwise there would be a “slump.” le had no idea how many lots had been laid off. The market had been dull since last Thankagiv ing day, but prices had not depre- cia Harry Barton estimated the value of the Zepp place at 3900 to $1,000 per acre. Un cross-examination Mr. Barton said he had bought from Elizabeth Queen on February 27, 1890, what is known as University Heights for $1,700 per acre. In June, 1889, he sold twolots “in Brookland at 133¢ cents per foot. He based his opinion on subdivisions and sales. It was Rot « supposable case that all the park could be subdivided and put on the market, but if such should be the case the result would be that sales would be difficult to make, but prices, [ould not go down—the properties would be eld. DON'T KNOW ITS PRESENT VALUE. Mr. C. Atchison, guardian ad litem for the McKeown heirs and attorney for the adults, testified to the purchase of the property in the spring of 1889 at €850 per acre. In answer to ie question as to the present value Mr. Atchi- son said that he was not competent to express an opinion. Mr. Perry—We are glad to hear of one who does not fix a value. The topographical map, showing the eleva- tion 340 feet, was placed in evidence. Jas. M. Green testified as to his land tract 31— 11.385 acres on the Daniel road—that it was worth $700 per acre. He was in the real estate business, but did not purchase it with any ref- erence to the park. ‘Taking this land from him would damage the tract for the purpose he bought it. On cross-examination Mr. Green said that he purchased it from Bushrod Robinson in April, 890. Mr. Holmead was called by Mr. Lee to tes- | da: tify as to the price of stone for road making Purposes and said that for Floride avenue they Were getting stone from above Derwood on the Metropolitan railroad and it cost about £1.04 per cubic yard. Blue stone was not so good for road making as flint stone. Tho blue ground down to a black mud and flint grinds down and makes the better roadwa in 72 he built Brightwood avenue from Brightwood to the Pistrict line, 1.6 miles, twenty feet wide and one foot deep, using about 4,000 cubic yards of stone, Some of this he had, to pay $1.50 per yard for and some was given him. He thought the stone on the Lee tract was worth 25 cents per yard. Mr. Lee filed time tables, rates for freight, &c., on the Metropolitan railroad, with a state- ment showing that the railroad tracks at Silver Spring are 316 feet higher than at the Washing- ton depot. ‘THE BEX TRACT. Asa Whitehead was called by Mr. Hagner as to the Bex tract (29) and testitied that he had very often admired it as a sightly, pretty place and had made him an offer. He valued it at $500 to £600 per acre. On cross-examination Mr. Whitehead said he made his estimate on his own judgment. He did not want it for a home, but expected next fall it would pay double the amount. Mr. Bex testified that his tract (23.036 acres) fronted the Daniels road north of the Dos Passos tract and presented photographs of his house, orchard, apparatus for raising water, and he valued the at 21,000 per acre. The water apparatus cost €1,125. There were 336 fruittrees, which he valued at #7 to $8 each. There were hickory, chestnut and oak trees, about 1,500 in all, which he thought were worth $1.50 and $2 each. The house was worth $1,800 and the stable, &c.,¢200. ‘On cross-examination Mr. Bex said he bought the tract on April 17, 1885, for $1,125, and at that time there was more in the neighborhood for about the price. He had constructed a rond which cost him $800. VALUE OF THE TREES. David E. Howells testified that the trees on Mr. Bex's place were worth €10 for the large and $8 for the smaller ones. John 'T. King testified to the value of the buildings and their condition. W. Clarence Duvall gave place of £1,000 per uerc. E. F. Hunt, carriage maker, testified to the value of the trees in bis business; that th were 1,500 of good size, which will cut so1 sixty foot timber, and they were worth at least 1.50 each. He allowed but two cents per foot in his estimate, when the best lumber sells for thirty-five cents per foot. Thos. Huntington testified to going to the Bex place last spring with lus daughter and grandchildren, and they were then ali sick, but recovered, and he regarded it as a very healthy raluation to the e. Mr. Perry said he would admit that it was. ‘Mr. Hagner—We have presented seven good reasons for such admission. Mr. J.T. Dyer was examined by Mr. Wm. Stone Abert and valued the Dos Passos tracts at $1,200 and €1,000 per acre, respectively. On cross-examination witness ‘aid his sign had been in Malvern Park three or four years; that the Mochen purebase for $1,600 and £1,700 per acre was made in 1887. He regarded 14th street property as worth twice as much as 7th street property. THE NATURAL GROWTH OF THE cITY. Redirect—He knew of no recent sales of 14th street and Piney branch property, but knew of offers made and rejected. The natural growth of the city was out 14th street and westward, and the California syndicate would havo in: vested in the Piney branch direction before they took the Connecticut avenue line had not a large estate (the Blagdens) stood in their way. They hud agreed to buy the Walbridge tract and made a deposit on it. which was held in escrow by Mr. Ralston. ‘This arrangement was made by Senator Stewart, Mr. Newlands and Maj. Arms at the Shoreham when witness ‘was provent and Mr. Ralston came in. By Mr. Perry—Witness had sold a number of county properties, which he named—one of ten acres ut $1,000'per sere near Bethesda; lot in Mount Pleuant at fifty cents per foot; sey- enuty-five acres, Alliance, for 265,000: Blagden’s till site at €825 per acre, for which the’ com. mission paid Mr. Warder $800 per acre. Mr. Perry objected to the last statement and it was out. By dir. Warner—The White property (23) is worth $600 to $800 per acre. sb dma Some Good Pool Playing. ‘The pool exhibition last night at W. G. Staf- ford’s, between Chas. H. Manning, champion of America, and Mr. Rock, champion of Virginia, resulted in 75 points for Mr. Manning to 32 for Mr. Rock. The next series was between Mr. Meyers, a local amateur, and Mr. Manning, which resulted in 86 points for Mr. Manning and $4 for Mr. Meyers. Mr. Manning mado some very difficult ded _shote and lost the one point bya scratch. The balls were bunched in the center of the table and it was almost impossible to make a pocket, but he called the center bailfor the corner pocket and made it, but the cue ball scratched, which lost him the game. Following that he made some shots, putting four balls in the end other shots which cannot THE RIVER TRADE. Inspector Harris Tells How it Has Incréased ‘Within the Last Few Years. During the past five years the shipments of fruits and vegetables from along the shores of the Potomac have greatly increased, and now there is a boat from the lower landings almost every day. Five years ago there was only about one boat a week and itdid not always bring e large cargo of fruit. “The receipts of fruits and vegetables this season have been ynusually large.” said In- spector Harris toaSraz reporter this morn- ing, “and the river trade has greatly reduced the prices.

Some time ago a resident of the District wrote to Maj. Moore, superintendent of police, complaining that Officer Mellen had unwar- rantably, as he alleged, interfered with his small child, four and a half years old, in riding a child’s tricycle on the pavement in front of his house on 7th street between S and T streets. Last week he forwarded the same complaint to the Commissioners with the query whether or not there was a law prohibiting children who were too small to venture with safety upon the public streets from enjoying their small tricy- cles on the sidewalk. The Commissioners re- ferred the letter to Mr. Sidney T. Thomas, as- sistant attorney for the District, for an it seems to me,” says Mr. Thomas, in his opinion rendered today, “that section 2, article 10, of the police regulations, which provides that no person shall draw or drive upon an; footway or sidewalk any vehicle except chil- dren’s carriages, and except as now provided by law,” covers the caso of children Hiding on “Iaminformed by the police department that such has been the uniform interpretation of this regulation, and that it is necessary in the intorest of public safety and convenience to enforce iton a business thoroughfare like 7th street, especially since the laying of the cable road, which has greatly augmented the nger. . fs inclined to think the interference of the officer in this case justifiable.” soe lacs Do Nor Foncer that the steamer Samuel J.
