' ze ae Hearing in the Olmstead Will Case. | Before Judge Cole, in Circuit Court No. 2, | the hearing of the Olmstead will case was re-| sumed yesterday morning, the former trial having been discontinued because of the serious sickness of one of the jurors. Kate Hutchin. son Olmstead, the wife of John F. Olmstead, | died in the summer of 1859, leaving her prov- | erty to her husband, and the will is being con. tested on the ground of undue infinence on the part of the husband. Mrs. Hutchinson, the mother of Mrs. Olmstead, was upon the witness stand the greater part of the day, and the de- tails of the engzgement of her daughter to Mr. | Olmstead were brought cut. Mra. Hutchinson said that Mr. Olmstead and the late Mr. Hatch- | inson were fast triends. Miss Hutchinson en- | tered society when she was eiginteen in 1850, and was married two years later to Mr. Olmstead, after ashortengagement. The marriage was |; entirely acceptable to Mr. Hutchinson. Mrv. Hutchinson waid she then thought that Mr. | Olmstead would make a good husband. She stated that Mr. Olmstead, after the death of ber husband. bad insisted that the property be at once distributed. Mrs. Hutchinson said Mr. Hutchinson had not made it a condition of | giving a life estate to her that sbe shouid give the reversion of her own estate to her children. | ‘There had been no condition whatever. ‘Three Sticht Fi: About 11:80 o'clock last night « fire in the stable belonging to James Kyau on Georgia avenue between Sth and 9th sireets southeast caused a loss of €50.

A Citizen Who Proposes to Impeach the Health Omer. Mr. W. 8. Bransom. a member of the Bright- wood Avenue Citizens’ Association, has made several efforts to have the health office officials abate an alleged nuisance in the form of pool of stagnant water in block 10 of Tood & Brown's subdivision of Pleasant Plains, north of Florida avenue and only » short distance from Brightwood avenue. Under date of March 29 Mr. Bransom addressed to Health Officer Hammett the following: “Over a year agoT called on you at the health office and called your attention to the existence of a festering pond of putrid water standing in block 10. ‘Todd & Brown's subdivision of Plexsant Plains. and I have called your atten- tion to this dangerous muisance repeatedly | fince, as bave also others living contignous to | it, without avail, and Iwill now say that if this nuisance and menace to health is not abated | at once I will take necessary steps to impeach | the delinquent official for malfeasance in office. | “Patience has ceased to be a virtue.” i THE HEALTH OFFICE REPORT. i Subsequently Health Officer Hammett mailed | to Mr. Bransom a copy of a special report made | of an inspection of the place in question. The | report was made by Sanitary Officer Shepherd as follow “A complaint was made some time ago of water standing in yards on Whitney avenue Between 7th street and Shermap avenue. The parties owning the property were notified by this department to abate the existing nuisance. This they did by fillmg said lots to conform to the grade of the avenue. In doing this a back- age of water was thrown upon lots fronting upon Sheridan «treet. ‘This accumulation was not nor is it at the present time so dangerous a nuisance as represented, for the quantity at the time of inspection, Lean assert, would not, I think, amount to more than #ix or seven bar- rels of water by actual measurement. Th agents of this lot, D. D. Stone & Co., will be notified to abate the nuisance.” | | MR. BRANSOM'S REJOINDER. But this was not to end the matter so far as Mr. Bransom was concerned, and today Health Oficer Hammett received from him the follow- ing: “Tam in receipt of your communication of the 15th instant. in which you invite my atten- tion to report of Inspector Shepherd, and hav- ing carefully read the said report I am struck by the palpable evasions, subterfuges and at- tempts to giaze over the giaring and persistent ect of dnties contained therein. “This report attempts to ignore the fact that anv complaint existed except what reiated to Whitney avenae, and states that when the lots | on Whitney avenue were filled a backage of water was thrown upon Sheridan e«eet. It | looks as if this report attempts to convey the impression that the health office had uo knowl- edge of any such backage of water, whereas I! recollect very distinctly having three se personal inverviews with the health officer, the inspector having charge of the district in which the nuisance existed. when the subject | was folly discuseed between us, and I stated | that all the low-lying lots should be filled up and leveled off toget This plan was quiesced in by the health officer, and the in- spector was instructed to see that it was done.” OTHER OFFICIAL NEGLECT CHARGED. After further referring to the report of In- spectors Shepherd, Mr. Bransom pays his re- spect in this way: “It so bappens that for the past three weeke, until a few days ago, we had an unusually dry spell of weather, when kindly nature, by her process of evaporation and absorption, re- | moved a goodly portion of more aqueons con- stituents of this cesspool, and 1t was at that particular time, I suppose, when the pond chanced to be lower thau it had been before in a year, and viewing the pool from afar and with purblind eyes. he could not see more than ‘six or seven barrels of water by actual meas- urement,” but if the inspector will kindly come out today, before ‘Dame i by evaporation or infiitra promise him the sight of sixty times ‘six or se barreis by actual measurement.’ | The fact of the matter is there is something | radically wrong with the management of the | health office, and the acceptance of such mis- | leading reports as this is not going to remedy the evil. A dead dog lay upon the pavement on 7th street, in front of Gen. Balloch’s piace, | five or six weeks last winter before it was reported time and xgain. Last Sunday week | Tan over and mangled a large dog near the Scheutzen Park and it lay beside the sidewalk until Weduesday. presenting a horribly sickening sight. I had this matter reported to the health oifice by the police early Monday morning and the attention of the health officer was called to it repeatedly | without avail, and it is probable that the | mangled carcass would be there yet but for the fact that I had word sent to the health offi that if that carcass wasn't removed by the f lowing mornirg I wouid enter a formal com- plaint against the health oficer.”” WHAT DR. HAMMETT SATS. Health Ofticer Hammett, in conversation with @Sran reporter this morning concerning the | letter of Mr. Brarsom. said tha: the letter was [only @ rehash of what has already happened. ‘The original complaint of Mz. Bransom. he said, was attended to, and if there is anything radically wrong in the heaith department Dr. Hammett said he would hie to know it. So far as the compiaint of the non-removal of dogs is concerned Dz. Hammett says the re~ sponsibility rests with the contractor. In the | particular case mentioned by Mir. Brinsom, said the doctor, the contractor was notified twice, but no inspector was sent out to see whether or not the dog was removed, as there are no inspectors appointed for that purpose. — BUILDING PROJECTIONS. Applications Must | won. ! If Upon Any Reservatio Go to Col. Hereafter ail applications for projections of | buildings beyond the building line upon any reservation under the charge of the chief of the army will be submitted to Col. Wilson, in charge of public buildings and | grounds, for his consideration and report. ‘This matter was called to the attention of the Commissioners today by the Secretary of War, who savs: “In a letter addreseed to the chief of en neers on the nt Col.

After the Rain Passed Off There Was Gocd Speaking at Lincotn Park. The rain storm yesterday afternoon inter- rupted the Emancipation day parade for a time. but after it passed off quite a large number of the colored people congregated about the stand | in Lincoln Park and ‘listened to a number of addresses. It was expected that Prof. Joan M. Langston wonid be the orator of the day, but he failed to appear. and Jesse Lawson proved a very acceptable substitute. He advised his hearers tonever forget that they were Ameri- can citizens and to always conduct themselves as such, Referring to the status of the negro in the District of Columbia he stated that the negroes paid taxes on property of which the assessed valuation amounts to over $15,000,000. Two orderly and well-condacied banking | houses were owned, controlied and manzged by colored men. They had about 150 business houses—none of which were very pretentious, but business houses nevertheless; two hun- | red and fifty school teachers, forty-six physi- | cians and an equal number of lawyers in and | ‘out of practice. | i ° Addresses were also made Dr. Welch’s Talk on Cholera. ‘The lecture to be delivered in the Columbian University lecture hall tonight by Dr. William HL.

Colville and @ capital company, it brought the tears to many eyes. An to Muss Morris’ Camille it is enough to sav that she played it with all her power, and Miss Morris is one of the greatest of living emotional actresses. The best actress who has ever lived or shall ever live cannot make the play a refreshing delight. Mr. Colville’s Armand was robust and intense, or rather, perhaps, robustly intense. The Mme. Prudence of Mrs. Hooker was done to the life. | In the cast are Mr. Colvilie, Mr. Carver, Mr. | termined Kelley, Mr. Vinmg, Mr. Spencer, Mr. Eliiott, Miss Ford, Mrs. Hooker, Mies Erskine and Miss Ryan. Tonight “Odette” will be given, and it is a strong ple: e ATIONAL ‘THEATRR.—Bronson Howard's ristocracy” was inst night again seen at the jonal Theater, where it had its initial per- formance. There have been some changes in the male members of the cast. but they have not lessened the excellence of the performance. Last night, however, there were some enforced | changes owing to the fact that Messrs. Lackeye and Piggott had missed their train and could not get to the city in time for the performance. Mr. Faversham assumed the leading roie; Mr. Kent doubled up on his own tharacter of Stuy- that of the Prince, and the Marquis was taken by Mr. Bruce McRae. Although Mr. Faversham did notequal Mr. Lack- aye as Jefferson Stockion he gave a creditable performance, and Mr. Kent was very effective asthe Prince. The ladies were the same as Were seen in the original performance and they contributed oy their excellent work to the suc- cess of the best American comedy that has been placed upon the stage. Mr. Wilton Lackaye and Mr. Piggott arrived in the city this morning and both will appear tonight. AcapEmy.—Steele Mackave'sgreat play, “Paul Kauvar,” seen here on other occasions. was the feature at the Academy Iast night and drew » good audience. The company presenting the play is not the same as that which produced the play here previously. In it are Harrison Wolfe (Paul Kaurar), John Darley, Thomas Gar- rick, Aubrey Mittenbal, Harry Farrell, George Conway, John W. Rose. Del Le Barre, William ‘ogan, Larry Reist, Walter Goodwin. J. W. Barry, M. A. Palmer, Miss Mildred Holland, Miss Anna Moore aud’ Mixs Olga White. ‘This cast may be lacking in the strength of ite pre- decessor possibly, but “Paul Kauvsr”’ is a play which carries the players, and its bighly melo- drontatic situations, and its gallery moving sen- timents never fatled of a quick response. and the applause was all that could be desired, ‘There is no doubt of the dramatic power of this P the curtain to the final scene, when Pan! and Diane are reunited and all is ended happily.
