Proceedings to Forfeit the Metro- politan Charter. THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY READY, Before the Courts. AN UNPAID PAVING BILL. It is more than probable that within the next fow days District Attorney Birney, acting on be- half of the Attorney General, will proceed against the Metropolitan Railroad Company of this city in the matter of tho forfeiture of the company’s charter because of its failure to pay the expenses incurred by the District between the years 1871 and 1875 in paving and otherwise improving the space between and adjoining the tracks controlled by the com- pany. The new move of the govern- ment will probably be in the. ne ture of a demurrer to the plea of the company filed last February, which plea was filed in answer to the information. in the nature of @ bill in quo warranto filed by the district attorney ‘on the 17th of Inst December. The expected demurrer ofthe government will most likely be entered in Judge Bradley's court, Circuit Court No. 1, but the customary summer recess of the courts will hardly permit ita argument before next fall. The question will hardly be determined before the snow flies. And even then either side has the right of an appeal first to the Court of Ap- ‘and then to the United States Supreme 01 HISTORY OF THE CASE. ‘The case has both a lengthy and an interest- ing history. By an act of Congress of July 1, 1864, granting a charter to the road it was expressly stipulated, as contended ernment, that the road was to keep in repair and improve, whenever necessary, the roadway between its tracks and for a space of two feet adjoining them on either side. In on Ed the streets, between the years 1871 1875,over which the tracks of the company Fan it became necessary for the District on the failure of the company to 80 do, to im- prove the streets lying ‘between the company’s tracks and on the two feot of space adjoining them. | This being done, the District lodged a claim for the work “done against the com- Pany, amounting to $161,622.52. The com- Pany’ refusing to pay the claim onthe.2ith of November, 1 suit was entered by the. District ‘against the. com-, pany, fer that amount in the Supreme urt of the District on the law side of the court, and a «rial being bad. « verdict was rendered May 1, 1884, against the company for $147,750.05, the jury reducing the amount claimed by the District by $18,872.47. THE SUPREME COURT DECISION. On an appeal by the company the Court in General Term affirmed the judg- court, but on further appeal by the com- pony the United States Supreme Court, on the lst of October, 1889, reversed the judgment below, that the statute of hmi- tations had intervened. The decision of the Supreme Court, the government con- tended, merely decided that the remedy of re- | covery through the courts was gone because of the intervention of the statute of iimita- tions, the suit being entered five 3 the filing of the District's claims against the road, but claimed that the Supreme Court did not assert that the indebtedneas to the District was removed. So {t was that Congress decided ‘that the road should be compelled to Ge hat the government claimed wasa just , and on the Sd of March, 1891, it was enacted by Congress that unless the judg- ment secured by the District against the company, $147,750.05, should be paid within eighteen’ months’ time the charter of the somes, should be forfeited. This ired with the judgment unpaid, and in Inst the Proceedings on the part of the government usking for the forfeiture of the company's charter, mentioned above, were in- augurated. AX ACT OF FORFEITURE. Tho plea of the company, filed last February, in answer to the information filed by the gov- ernment, denied, in effect, that Congress had power to pass an act of the forfeiture, alieging that forfeiture was not a y also pleaded that Congress, by subsequent leeisiation, viz, the authorizing of” the company ‘to change its motive power, and extending the time in which it’ was to be done, &c., waived the _for- feiture of the company’s charter previously declared. And the company further pleaded that Cor no power to subse- quently require the payment of » judgment which the Supreme Court of the laud had held could not be recovered, judiciously, be- cause of the intervention of the statute of limitations. The expected demurrer ‘of the government will naturally hold thet the ples of the company is bad, and will undoubtedly contend that Congress ample power to provide for the collection of a debt which the Fovern: ment contends has by no court been declared to be an unjust one. . Se PARTED FROM HER CHILDREN, A Mother Tells » Story of Poverty in the Police Court. ‘Three little interesting Italian children, daugh- ters and son of Gennari, the alleged murderer, who is under arrest in Baltimore, were taken into the Police Court today by Officer Groff, who is acting as agent for the Humane Society. The children are Frank, seven years old; Florence, five years old. and Mary, two years. Mrs. Gennari appeared in court as a witness in the case. Prosecuting Attorney Mullowney filed a Paper setting forth that the children were destitute of suitable homes and adequate means of earning an honest living. ‘Tho paper alvo prayed the court to turn the children over tothe board of guardians under the act of July 26, 1892. The little children sat in court perfectly unconseions of their surroundings. ‘They were not aware that a discussion of their welfare was in progress, nor did they know that they were so soon to be separated from their mother. ‘The mother, under oath, told the court that she was totally unable to provide for her children. She was willing to care for her infant, which was at home, and had she the necessary means #he would gladly care for the others. “Her home is at 1221 4 street north- enst. Officer Groff was present to tell of -his actions in the case, and Secretary Lewis of the board of guardians was present in court to take charge of the children. Judge Miller made the neces- sary order, and the children went with Mr. Lewis, who will secure homes for them. Secretary Lewis told the court that he had five or six children at the Colored Children’s Home, and he wanted to provide homes for them: Judge Miller said he could bring the children into court Friday their cases would be ea Recent Robberies Keported.

EDGERTON’S CASE. WIN He Get the Assistant Mathematical Professorship? ‘The case of Lieut. W. P. Edgerton, second artillery, is again before the War Department. Several weeks ago this officer was appointed an assistant professor of mathematics at the Mili- tary Academy, an office created by the legisla- tive, executive and judicial appropriation bill for the present fiscal year. He accepted the office, but, fortunately for him, did not resign his commission in the army. Soon after © question arose as to his pay, the consideration of which also involved his status in thearmy. This wasin consequence of the discovery that he had been appointed to an office in advance of the time when the law cre- ating it took effect. The second controller of the who on the accounts of the office he was out of the army. that his sal- ary in the civil office would not begin until the act took effect. The case was sul tly referred to the Attorney General, and of- ficial took a decidedly contrary ‘view of the matter. He held that the officer could not pos- sibly accept an office that did not exist and consequently did not forfeit any of bis —_ by the premature intment. ‘The War partment accepted this view of the situation and no further action has since been taken. ‘Time has changed the status of the case, but has not altogether settled it The civil office has existed since July 1, and the question is as to whether Lieut. Edgerton’s original pointment to it still holds good, In order take it he will have to resign his army commie- sion, and he, naturally, hesitates in that step until he is sure of the appomtment. It is be- lieved that the difficulty can be settled so far as Lieut.
