Goidsborough said it Would be more to subdivide Tract 62, McKeown, or tracts were aitanted the same. ‘8 large tract, 63, possessed {some advantages over the others and he con- titered its availability of «ubdivision, for it was worth but little as agricultural lands. The Dos Paskos lauds wore better situated for sub- division than the Shoemaker lands. In_ giving | the values, while he considered the subdivision ture, he was aware that the time had not me to sul le. xumination by Mr. Wilson Mr. aid that the value of the prop- ed by the regnlati 23 to subdivisions in certain cases. V measure was a wise one for the community certain property had been injured. ‘The effect of the legislation has rendered it impracticable to subdivide the property. and ifit was in the market it would be injured. The Thomp- son tract can be subdivided to conform tu the city streets, but at great expense. No plat had cas yet made. “It had not been done be- ase they did not believe the time had come to it out of the category of agricultural Jadge Wilson asked what effect the extension of 16th street would have on the property, and Mr. Perry objecting, a long argument fol- lowed. ‘the court overruled the objection and di- rected that the question be answered. Mr. Goldsborough explained by the map where the streets would strike the Shoemaker tract and the grades, showing how on a portion of the tract some forty-five acres, rectangular lots, could be laid out. HOW SUBDIVISIONS MIGHT BE MADE. Mr. Goldsborough resumed the stand after recess, and with the aid of the topographical map testified as to how the streets might be extended to the Shoemaker tract and explained the difticuities in the way on some portions of the tract. Judge Wilson—We would overcome that by a neat httle rustic bridge. Mr. Goldsborongh explained from the map how he would subdivide the property. The creek, he said, could be bridged at the streets and the timber cleared, but it would costa great deal of money. It could be developed at no greater expense than the extension of Con- necticut avenue. Its development is both possi- ble and practicable. The purpose of the owners of the Thompson tract, he said, is to bold it for subdivision, and some attempt had been made toward improving it. They had erected a bridge costing $12,000, which is too low, and a higher one is needed. The streets are to be rectangular and in some places elevations of 120 feet to the mile will have to be overcome. If the property is to be used as city property the policy would be to grade off the hill tops and fill the valleys, but if for park property the hills would remain, for the idea with parks is to keep the land in its natural condition. In regard to villa sites and building in the suburbs Mr. Goldsborough said there is a very general prejudice against building fine resi dences on running water, but he did not share it himself. In making subdivisions, after pay- ing expenses, &e., it is difficult to find pur- ers at paying prices. Woodley, he said, is one of the finest of the properties’ for subdi- visions and yet there are no purchasers. The pricey at which Mr. Waggaman hokis Woodley equals £6,000 to $10,000 per acre, and he under stood that it had been practically withdrawn and about $500,000 will \e expended upon it.

Two mon, tired of life, attempted to ond their earthly troubles last night. One of them succeeded, but the othor is still living,although he may die from the effects of a dose of poison. One was Michael Maur,and death resulted from strangulation, caused by his hanging himself, while the other was R. D. Boyd, an applicant for a pension, whose rash act was the result of a fear of starvation. Michael Maur was a German, sixty years oldand was a butcher by tradeund had worked for Carll Bros. for more than twenty years. He had lived in Mr. Caril’'s house, No. 928 7th street northeast. The old man bad been blind for about seventeen years. He was a genoral favorite among the people in the neighborhood where The unfortunate old man know every foot of the ground about the Carll residence, so that his infirmity did not prevent his going about the neighborhood and visiting the neighbors and attending to his business.

FOUND HANGING IN THR SLAUGHTER MOUSE. Early this morning his dead body was found suspended from a meat hook in one of the heavy refters. Death bad resulted from Strengulation, as there was no fall to break his neck. ‘The weight of his body had buried the rope in his neck, and one foot was still on the boi- tom of an upturned tub, upon which he stood to reach the rafter. lis features were but slightly distorted, and his face did not appear as though his death had been an unusually painful one. ‘The body was cut down and placed on the flocr to await the arrival of the coroner, and it was afterward removed to Geier’s undertaking ishmen “lind Mike” was @ steady-going man and s loved by all who knew him. ‘This morning the news of his death spreud rapidly through the neighborhood, and men, women and chil- dren gathered about the slaughter house and many of them were moved to tears. The de- ceased was known to have had considerable money that be had saved from his earnings. So far as is known he had no relatives in this country. & DISCOURAGED PENSION BEFKER. R. D. Boyd, the other unfortunate man, who may yet recover, wasa member of the tenth lowa eavalry, and he was wounded in the foot, and partial paralysis resulted. He had an ap- plication for @ pension pending before the Pension office, but it had wot been acted upon and he was without funds. Ho was here, away from his home and friends. For some time be had been rooming at No. 313 Pennsylvania avenue, and before taking a dose of nux vomica he wrote a letter giving information concerning papers in his possession and asking that they be sent to his relatives in New York. ‘The dose of the drug wae a large one, and the pain resulting was 60 great that lis groans and sereams were heard in all parts of the house. When it wes discovered that he had taken tho drug he was carried to a neighboring drug store, whe was administered.

Boyd was formerly connected with the Hughes Hospital at Keokuk, lowu, and the Iowa Asso- ciution will probably take care of him.

Yesterday afternoon, at a point just across the District line, there was a scratch-and-turn fight between Philadelphia and Washington bulldogs. After forty-five minutes of cauine savagery the District's champion could not scratch and Philadelphia bore away the palm. For several weeks the fight had busied the col- loquial powers of the sporting brotherhood, and it did not fail to draw. About seventy-five spectators attended, and this number was remarkable for the large percontage of those who wore silk hate, custom-made clothes, diamonds and patent leathers. Not the slightest disorder occurred, and a disposition to wrangle over the selection of referee was promptly squelched. Although during the fight the excitement wae intense it rarely took ® bois- terous form. At the first, however, the backers of the Philadelphia dog could not restrain cheers. Washington was represented by L. A. Payne's Jack, a brindie white, with ears and tail, and a victor of several mills. Phila delphin’s credit was maintained by « black-und- tan called Captain, owned, according to the articles of ugreement, ‘by P. O'Connor, but Popalasly ‘believed to be owned by Pat Carroll, his pitter. At 4 o'clock ie, dogs were unmuzzled, | put in slings and weighed. Captain tipped the beam at thirty pounds light and Jack at twenty-nine andsbalf. ihe former was the favorite b: odds of 2to1. After giving the animals a ‘walk for exercise the crowd settled down tc business, | Stakeholder E. B. Wyatt read the rules and eement, which were that it should be a tratch-and-turn fight, both dogs to be fasted before and after, for $50 a side and pit money to the winner, New York rules to govern. Mr. John Turby was choven referve aud Ben. Bran- zrenn of Washington and Joseph Barr of Phil delpbia umpires. Soap and a box of soapiue were thrown into a tub of water, and the dogs washed for four minutes, the Philadelphia dog's pitter washing the District animal and vice versa. The dogs were then carried to the Pit, 12 by 12 feet, with earth floor and two-foot sides. ‘The home dog was pronounced uncon- ditioned. After a little rag chewing by the spectators the dogs were pitted, Captain b Vat Carroli and Jack by a Mr. Russell. ' Jack Jed out witha bark and Captain went to the center with his head hugging the floor. Wash- ington got first biood, planting his teeth in the left jaw of his adversary so well toward the nove that Philadelphia could get no hold. In this way the dogs tussled and rolled about the pit for ten minutes, Washington refusing to let go. Odds were wiped out and betting even. ‘There was a break and the dogs went at it next ® mouth-in-mouth hold, the teeth of one dog grinding against those ‘of the other. At the end of twenty minutes Washington was caught on the left hind leg and glthoug! showed tremendoys grit end eutting qi ho began to pant heavily and weaken. At this stage of the procecding the piticrs were kept bury fanning the dogs with bats, blowing in their faccs and cheering “At him again, Jack.” “Get intohim dcep, Captain,” and other phrase designed to encourage the ‘dogs. The throat of the Washington dog began to look raw and he fought principally on his back. In forty- five minutes Captain was shaking him ay ho would a rat and pulling him over the pit. They were parted, sponged off and repitted. Jack staggered from hiv corner, but fell and did not scratch. Captain won. ‘The vanquished dog was tenderly rolled in his blanket and taken to his carriage while the victor was being petted by many hands. Captain was imported from Ireland by Juck McGee for Pat Carroll and is hero of « score of fights. It was he who laid out the Gallagher dog at Boston and Tabman’s ‘Tom Bow at Philadelphia.

Yesterday a well-dressed man, wearing light helmet-like hat and blue trousers, entered the premises of irs. Berry, who occupies the old Williams house, on Road street, and par- tially concealing himself beneath a back porch jade various gestures to attract the attention of several little girls who were playing about the place. The children, seeing him, became frightened and ran and told Mrs. Berry, who left the house by a front door and summoned some young men who were playing ball in Cooke's Park, near by. ‘The st acting man then very wisely made good his escape, the base ball players following with bats for a long distance. Soon after a couple of officers urrived on the scene and a sharp lookout was kept for the man, but they got nothing beyond his description. TENLEYTOWN WANTS LETTER CARRIERS. Tenleytowners are again talking and working for the extension to their homes of the letter carrier system. The mail is now brought reg- ularly up the road only as far as the Woodley Inn, and they think it a severe slight that a town of at least 2,500 inhabitants has but one mail a day and that is delivered at a post oftice and must be goue after in true country fashion. ‘Lhe people say they are not in the country any more, but have many of the conveniences of a city at their doors. and as many towns with a population considerabl; than them are supplied with carricrs ‘they pray that the sys- tem be extended to Tenleytown.

The register at the bathing beach shows 50 bathers on the opening day, Tuesday Inst: 85 on Wednesday, 73 Thursday, 90 Friday, 95 Sat- urday, 122 Sunday and 119 yesterday, making 634 for the first week. Besides the bathers there are hundreds of visitors daily who stay awhile upon the bank to sce the sport. Sun- day there were over 2,000 visitors, abot 200 of whom came in carriages, sometimes crowding the carriageway while they eat and enjoyed not only the sandy beach, the clear water and the antics of the bathers, but the beautifal scenery. Among the visitors on Saturday were Fred W. Pilling, who presented $5, and Washington Danenhower, who presented $25, for any use which the beach needs. These gifts are partic- Ularly acceptable just now, Mr. Stevens says, as Mr. Willet’s munificent gift was for the ex- messed purpose of securing safety to Bithers, End'‘Mtr. Btovens ait mot feel at liberty "to ex any ion of it to save the beach groun m destruction by heavy rains, and by the continuous fall and winter rains which must intervene before another @ppropriation may be had from Con- gress. Two lal rsare now at work grading the top of the bank to carry rain water away from beach, and there should be a half dozen laborers while the weather is fair. Mra, bas provented thiriy-sixtranbsct verea agree, Present six tre vi ures, in good condition, formerly used in a gymnx- sium, and the beach mark is now being sewed Upon them in white tape, so they will be ready for the use of the boys tomorrow. Small boys may bathe with nothing else on, but there is a great call for full suite to rent, and the beach faud would be materially helped by a present of blue dannel or any suitable material—not white nor too thin—to make of. Edmund M. Shirley, one the witnesses who testified at tho coroner's inquest that he did not think “the deep gully” was more than ten feet from the spring Loard, applied yester- day for permission to bathe and was refused by the keepers onan order issued some days ago by Superintendent Stevens, but be waited until Mr. Stevens’ afternoon arrival and ap- pealed to him, Mr. Stevens claimed that Mr. Shirley had forteited bis rights to bathe by making certain statements in public which created a false im- pression about the beach, greatly to ite damage and to the inconvenience of the management. Mr. Shirley stated thas he believed he was tell- ing the truth. Mr. Stevens went over the beach with Mr. Shirley and it appeared trom the lat- ter's statement that his measurement was made from a box covering asurface drain piye, which he supposed was the wharf, and the gully re- ferred to was merely the deep water at the ond of the beach fill, more than sixty feet from the wharf. Mr. Shirley having expreseed a willing- ness to make @ statement correcting the im- pression given by his testimony, Mr. Stevens gave him again the privileges of the beach.
