Washington last week the Commissioners eug- gested that a committee be appointed to frame ‘the objections and present them to the Commis- sioners next Monday. Promptly at noon today the committee, which consists of Jas. L. Barbour, chairman; | 0. T. Thompson, Henry Wex, R.A. Walker, | Andrew Archer, 0. N. Birckhead, N. H. Shea, | T. T. Keane, David Murphy, William Fegan, | Jas, P. Shea, P. N. Dwyer and John Fegan, ap- Peared before the Commissioners with their written, objections to the McMillan bill. The hearing, however, was ed until tomor- Tow at noon, when the railroad will be repre- sented by ite attorney, Mr. Enoch Totten. The objections to the bill underconsideration are set forth in the following paper, which will be handed to the Commissioners tomorrow: | Before stating our objections to the above Dill we wish itto be distinetly understood we are not opposed to railroads entering and occu- Pring « portion of South Washington; on the contrary we are well aware of the benefits and advantages to the trav. lic and the best interests of Washington which proper railway facilities" would afford, and” are. willing to lend our ration and assistance to any measure which shall arrange on a just and reasonable basis the different interests involved in a settlement of this question. After care: | consideration of the McMillan bill, however, v are forced to the conclusion that instead of be- | tng (an improvement on the present condition of affairs, ite passage would work greater injury to our section and intensify the feeling of dis- satisfaction which exists toward the present oc cupation of our best streets and avenues by tho railroad. Briefly stated, our objections are as follows: FIVE OBJECTIONS. Firstly, under the provisions of sections 1 and7 the government deeds outright to the railroad company without the slightest compen- sation millions of dollars’ worth of public prop- erty, and turns over to their exclusive use and benefit a great portion of our finest thorough- fares; ina measure shuts off from the rest of the city and virtually destroys ax a desirable residence section all that portion of South Washington lying south of Maryland avenue and Virginia avenue. Secondly, under the provisions of section the railroad company to remove its present tracks from 6th street, in lieu of which the government: gives them & portion of the mall, 225 feet in width by fall depth of square from B street north to B street south, or, in other words, by the railroad’s condescension in removing its tracks from a street it bad occu- pied without compensation for years the gov- | was open and Dave was raking in the the bad imposed the Inst fine ins policy case and that hereafter the violators of that law | would have to go to Jail did not affect the busi- | ness of Dave Johnson, who was conducting «| policy shop at No. 1115 ist street eres Dave, according to the information gained by the police, was writing two @20 books every da: the commissions on which amounted to 88 | ‘There was no other employment that he could | get that would bring him in that much money and so the fear of s home in jail for the winter did not frighten him.

This morning the mother and son were taken: to the Police Court, but the mother was re- leased, becaure there was no charge entered ‘against her by the attorney. Lawyer Hewlett appeared for Dave and said he would plead guilty. “In entering a plea of guilty,” eaid the law- yer, “I desire to ask your honor to give him as light @ sentence as possible. 1 know that your honor is going to send him to jail, and so all I can ask in a light penalty.” “How long bave you been writing policy? the judge asked the prisoner. “Six weeks,” he replied “For whom were you writing?” “For myself.” The prisoner then explained that he col- lected the money and then went across to Vir- ginia and made the plays on the policy firm. He said that he had not been employed by the Policy people, but he also said that he was paid , & commission by the policy firm. Judge Miller said be bad been waiting to hear some story of this sort, but he said it was too thin. “You will have to go to jail, ‘anal! other violators of the have to do, no matter whether rich or poor. months,” said the judge. hiey law will Tigh’ or tow, You can go there for four > IN FAVOR OF THE LAW.

CONSTANT RAILKOAD AGGRESSIOX. ‘The history of railroad legislation in the Dis- trict of Columbia for the past quarter of a cen- tury so far as South Washington in concerned has been simply a series of railroad aggressions; it has continued to hold and oceupy,often with ont legal right or authority,many of our public reservations and highways; it has long since destroyed the beauty of the two Principal avenues and thoroughfares in South Washing- ton, and now as a fitting climax it proposes practically take outright the said avenues: and all the intersecting and adjacent streets it may deem | necessary for ite uses and benefits. Lt is doubt- ful if such a radical and sweeping measure has ever been proposed in any city before, and we feel certain it would never be considered in an assembly whose representatives were directly responsible to the citizens whose interests were affected by its provisions, and in conclusion we beg to enter our respectful but firm protest | against this bill, meeting, as it does, with the | unanimous disapproval of our people, and sub- mit that, as there can be no just government without the consent of the governed, so there can be no just and equitable solution of this | railroad problem that does not meet the sanc- tion and approval of « majority of the citizens and property holders whose rights. whose in- terests and whose homes are directly affected thereby. to THE BURNED-OUT FURNITURE MILLS. It has been suggested that the Deis Furniture Company, which removed to New Alexandria from Dover, Obio, in order to be near Washing- ton, might find an advantageous location at the Pioneer mills, now the property of the Haskins Wood Vuleanizing Company of Washington, but not as yet in use for any purpose. ‘The mills are on deep water, with ample railroad fa- cilities, and are within corporation limits. The Deis Company was in negotiation with the city council for this mill some time before it was sold with the other real estate of the Virginia Line Steamboat Company to the Harkins Com- pany. A DECAYED HOTEL. The Virginia House, at the intersection of King street and Peyton auenue—the head of King street it is called in local parlance—was once a noted hostelry for Fairfax and other up-country people, and with two hotels in the vlinge ‘of West End, a half mile beyond, it had ample custom of drovers and other country visitors to Alexandria, This was before the days of railroads and in the wagon and cattle- driving days. With the change in methods of transit the Vi House decayed and has been lately pure by Sefer Blouse and is rented to Mir. Clift. “Last Saturday night Liout.

It is known as the annual sale of arti- cles accumulated in the dead letter office. jong shelves in the auction rooms of Ratcliffe, Darr & Co. this morning they wore an inno- cent, if not inviting appearance, to the people the sale, There are more than 1,100 articles catalogued, besides some 220 articles of jewelry. The catalogue aims to describe ina brief but truthful manner the character of each and everyarticle found in the packages. For exam- ple, the word “cheap” occurs very fi the purchasers are told that there is “cl jewelry, “cheap” clothing, a child's “‘cheap’ coat, chil ” finger rings. “cheap” “cheap” pocket knives, &., Sas conten io average man or woman, and especially the women who attend there sales, entertain a strong doubt as to the truthfulness of these official descriptions. That is the only explanation of the keen inter- est which is displayed at these annual auction sales. It is well known that the articles in this array of packages are not of a valuable charac- ter, and yet the announcement of the auction is sufficient to throng the place of sale with an eager and interested crowd, ‘The auctioneer, Mr. Ratcliffe, found no dificulty this mornin, in disposing of his goods as fast as he could talk, and as rapidly as his corps of nimble as- sistants could handle the packages they were passed over the counter to the purchasers and the money was returned to be eventually in the treasury to the credit of the Post Oflice Department. bout £4,000 is, as a rule, realized from these annual sales, and this fact alone is a sufficient evidence that the public do not place entire and implicit confidence in the official description of the articles offered for sale. It is this element of uncertainty, not to say mystery, in regard to the contents of the that constitutes the main element of attraction to the public in these sales. For this reason the sales may probably be called a “lottery,” for while there is no attempt to deceive the public on the part of the govern- ‘ment, yet the public is inclined to believe that there is a good deal more in those packages than the author of the catalogue is willing to admit. The hope of getting something for nothing, of securing some rich prize for « moderate sum, is the secret of the success of these auction sales. The price obtained to vary with the description given in the logue and also with the which ix held up to view by the auctioncer.
