Bridge Street Merch: sand Their Fight Against the Sfreet Railroad. From present indications it looks as if the merchants on M or Bridge street who are af- f Washington and Georgetown Railroad Com- pany intend to fight each other as fer as the | ‘apreme Court, if necessary. For those who are not directly concerned the contest will Probably prove interestmg. Those merchants doimg business to the west of High street say is their trade injured during the by the blockade which almost always exists there, but at night those occupying houses along the route are prevented from sleeping and the yells of the gripmen as the from one track to the other. ose patrons are mostly from taid this ‘morning toe Stam re~ porter that so many country teame had been injured and smashed, in front of his ® by the suddeti backing of care and the inability of the drivers to find enough | space to turn around in that several had toid hum that they would no longer submit their Wagons to probable damage and had opened tin claimed that on 9:30 o'clock a.m. strect, distance of one and & half equares, and that traffic was delaved thereby to a very con- riderable extent. When a committee repre- senting these merchants made their complaint to the Commissioners and were told that the matter must be settled by the courts Congress was appesied to. The appeal was published in Twe Stan at the time, signed by three of those who claim to be the most affected. This peti- tion was cut from the paper and posted con- epicuously in the receiver's office and beside it placed a type-written list of the names of those who signed the origins! complaint. Although no remarks or instructions appear beneath the notice some of the merehante appear to regagd ft as a sort of boycott. ey say support of this that none of the com- yany's employes have been seen to purchase of late ft any of the posted ones. Other incidents ae cited by merchants as nce of the ill-will they think the company, ough its reprosentatives, bears toward the »mplaining merchants. Whenever change has been wanted by the business men in the vicinity of the company’s office, it has been ob- teined from the receiving clerk of the company. A few days ago, it is stated, one of protestants went over to be accommodated and was told by the clerk that he had # “good deal : tous for an accommodation ned in the complaints so stren- Je against the company, at the eame pointing to the list of posted names. After waiting on two or three conductors, however, thechange was given.

They sce trade daily slipping away without making & strong effort to retain it, if it costs hundreds of dollars te do so. ‘They claim that the com- pany buy no right to block the street, and fur- ther that their charter definitely fixes the 32d street and the farther westward now occupied is lirect violation thereof. > The Christmas Foot Ball Game.

Riley of the sixth pre- cinct, who was on his way home. The officer | was jn citizens’ clothes at the time, but he had | no trouble in making the arrest of Arthur Shoemaker, the man who had done the shooti A woman was the cause of the affair and it is alleged that the shots were directed | at the woman and the other man in the case. | The other man is not known except by the | name of “Maurice” and from the appearance of | Shoemaker it is thought that the other man | gave him & severe beating, av he was disfigured | ud his clothing saturated with blood. The officer arrested Shoemaker, who had | thrown the heavy 44-caliber over the fence into stone yard nearby. Shoemaker lives in Georgetown and is em- | ployed aa bartender at DeAtley’s saloon, Ac- | cording to the statement of the officer Shoe- | maker has been diving with a woman named ‘Mary Connolly, who travels as Mary Shoemaker. Seturday night when be went home be saw “Maurice” sitting on the sofa beside Mary. He walked across to Smoot's meat store aud borrowed a pistol, saying he wanted to kill a dog. When he returned to the house be fired two shots from the large American “bulldog” re- volver, but neither took effect. Lawyer Carrington appeared in the Police Court today as the prisoner's counsel, and the cases went over until Wednenday. A BARKEEPER'’S TWO SHOTS. Two other cases of alleged attempted murder were called to the attention of Judge Miller to- In one case Whittington Smoot was de- t and Thomas Smith was the prosecut- ing witness. Whittington is bartender in J. J. Parry's saloon on E street northwest between 12th and 13th streets, where the affair hap- pened Saturday night. Smith, a colored man, is a photographer, and’ the first time’ be went into, the’ saloon Saturday night he ordered drinks, for which it is claimed he refused to pay and the bartender ordered him out of the saloon. He went away and later in the evening he returned and re- newed the quarrel. Smith, it is alleged, struck at Smoot with a cane’ and the latter drew his revolver and fired one shot. The bullet struck tho colored man’s hip and in- flicted a slight injur Policeman Mellen made the arrest. Smart says that he only ‘fired the shot to frighten Smith and that he did not mean to injure him. The case will be tried tomorrow. SENT TO THE GRAND JURY. ‘The third case was that of the man "Thomss Taylor, who shot Edward Beaman in a house in Lanahan’s alley southwest a week ago yester- day, as published in The Svar at the time.

ALB. = Indian Names of Streets Suggested. To the Rditor of The Evening Star With all due respect for the opinions of the learned committee who recently submitted upon the subject of anew nomenclature for the streets of Washington I desire most respect- fully to suggest ax an amendment to that re- port to strike out the series named after trees and plants, so common to many cities, and substitute therefor a series numed after the various Indian tribes,so rapidly becoming ex- tinct. It seems to me that no better way could be devised for preserving for future genera- tions the names of these various tribes of original Americans than by designating the streets of the capital city of the nation by their tribal names. I think a sufficient number of them can be found to supply at least two | full series of lettered streets. “Without any re- | search on the subject, but from memory alone, | the following list ocetrs to me: A—Arapahoe, Assinaboine, Apache.

To the Editor of The Eveniny Star To say that I am delighted but faintly ex- Presses the gratification i feel at the possible prospect of the amelioration of the condition of the patrons of the cable road, especially that division of it which does not furnish accom- modations on 1th street and its adjuncts, I read with exuberance of spirits the commu- nication of the worthy president of said road to the Hon, James McMillan, chairman Senate committee District of Columbia, in reference to the charge that the company was occupying the streets of Georgetown to the detriment of the business interests of a large number of its citi- zens. I wincerely hope they will recall their H. O. H. charges and make the amende honarable after reading said communication. See! How can the streets be oecupfed by the cars when they “are stored in buildings used for this purpose whenever they are not in use on the streets, See again. How considerate! One train is always id left standing on the track for the accommoda- tion of the public; ‘who would otherwise be exposed to the inclemencies of the weather.” How kind! And this car will accommodate from twenty-five to seventy-five persons, if they can get in, aud they always try, and they get out of the exposure of the elements and into the exposure of the fetid atmosphere within the car; and oh, what an atmosphere! But— happy thought—this will all be remedied now. "Fhe honorable Senator has been asked to ng gest any improvement that may be of benefit to the service. Now, he may be so trammeled by overabundance of Inbors as to overlook the every condition of the patrons of the road, and T beg leave to suggest that one of the most im- portant features of improvement would be in the increased facilities for sitting room in the care, worthy president has so graciously requested advice and bas admitted the fact that there are cars stored and not in use I would re- spectfully t to the honorable Senator that he might intimate to the company that some of these Unused cars be put on the road, sufficient, ‘under ordinary travel, to afford seats for every one, and if he is too modest to make the request to the worthy president, then to form a bill which will cover the case, requiring the com- pany to furnish seats for all or imaking ita Penal offense to collect fares from any standing Kae no rights that the company is eee A Ounoxre Staxper.

Application was made to Magistrate Fran- qheville yesterday in Paris to release Lesseps, Sans Leroy and Fontane on bail. Responsible bondsmen were ready to sign the papers, but the magistrate refused even to discuss the pos- sibility of such a release, He added that nobody would be aliowed to eee the prisoners until after the efamination of the documents seized in their offices.

Almost im- mediately he sank back on the bed and became delirious. Since then he has thought that the serving of the summons was only a dream. He is very feeble, both mentally and physically. There isa strong sentiment among certain financiers, headed Albert Christophle, gov- ernor of the credit foncier, that the govern- ment should make another attempt to float the | canal enterprise.

Several ministors have called to see him, but Stout declares that be he is going to be hanged, as he expected nothing elee after he was refused a new trial by the court of appeals. He says that While the sheriff read the death warrant to him, he has forgotten the exact day named for the execution by the governor, and asked what day it was. taken any part whatever in the murder of Dit- mar, und says that if he was guilty he would make aconfession.

FADY TO MARRY HIM. During his trial at Bel Air he chanced to meet him and before the trial was concluded they had become very much attached to each other, Shortly after he was brought back to Elkton she came also and succeeded in securing a posi- tion in one of the hotels. Every Sunday found her seated by his side in the jail and they were often seen engaged in earnest conversation. She declares that in case he is pardoned ehe intends to marry him. All this occurred, how- ever, before Stout was sentenced to be hanged, yrs that time she has scen him but very ittle. ‘The hanging of Stout will be the first that has taken place in Cecil county since the hanging of Medford Watters, colored, in the year 1¥ and the third in the history of the county, the other being the hanging of Robert Swift, which occurred in the year 1855. ‘The execution of Stout will be strictly private and will take place in the jail yard. No person Will be admitted except the sheriff's deputies, the spiritual advisors of Stout, hie counsel, his relatives and twenty other ' persons whom Shériff McKenney may deem proper to elect to witness the exccution. The last execution, which was that of Watters, took place at Cherry Hill, thiscounty, and was public. It is estimated that 2,000 people witnessed the execution. Stout has expressed a desire that after the e ecution his body be placed in charge of his relatives. OPPOSED TO THE BIG CAMP. Park Commissioners at Chicago Angry Be- cause Secretary ins Accepted Their Offer, Another row is on the world’s fair matters, this time between the governing board of con- trol at Washington, or ‘more properly Secre- tary of War Elkins, and the South Park com- missioners. The trouble grows out of an attempt to use the meadow at Washington Park ns the camp- ing ground for a model military camp at the world’s fair. A long while ago, before the site of the board offered Washington Park as a part of the site und the national committee accepted it, This action stands yet. In considering plans for an exhibit from the War Department Secre- tary Elkins conceived the idea of establishing a model military camp somewhere near the ex- show. Prices were too high for bim to lease ground near Washington Park, so it was de- cided to turn over the meadow.” Director Gen- eral Davis had it surveyed aud he Saturday made the assignment of space to Secretary of War Eikins and forwarded the papers to Wi ington. The South Park commissioners re- fased to allow the meadow in Washington Park to be used for that purposeand are trying tode- feat Secretary Elkins’ plan. oo Chesapeake and Ohio Steamships. Advices from London state that all the papers for the organization of the Chesapeake and Ohio Steamship Company (limited) have been signed and the capital has all been subscribed. The line is in the interest of the Chesapeake and Obio Railroad Company, which owns a ma- jority of the stock. Contracts have been awarded to builders on the Clyde for the con- struction of six steamers. Three of them are about the size of the new White Star steamer une. The other three are about one-fifth smaller. These steamers will make regular weekly sailings from Newport News to England. Mr. Inman is the president of the Chesapeake and Ohio railway. He says that the advantage to the railway company of this line cannot be port News is even now more than enough for these steamers, as well as such tramp steame: as can be secured. Last year over 120 steatn- ers were loaded by the Chesapeake and Ohio railway from that port for Europe. — Senator Abreu has been appointed minister of comerce and M.
