The deceased, who kept @ house on 13th street, left quite an estate, estimated at $75,000 to $100,000, and left two wills, and when the issues as to one of these were tried a claimant made himseif known in the person of a young man of twenty-three years, known as George H. Northcutt. Through Mr. D. W. Glassie he filed application as her heir, reciting in his Petition that his mother placed him at four years of age in the Henry Watson Home of Baltimore, by whom he was bound out, and that his mother had been led to belleve him to be dead. The issues now signed by Justice Hagner are: Is George H. Northcutt the son of said Annie E.

STREETS AND TAXES: The Main Points Discussed by the Northeast Citizens, GRADING WANTED BEFORE PAVING Amendments Recommended to the New Assessment Bill. FIVE ASSISTANTS FAVORED ea eee ‘There was not a large attendance at the meeting of the Northeast Washington Citi- zens’ Association held in Alphenie Hall last evening. It had been announced that the | street schedule appropriation now pending | before the Senate committee on appropria tions, as well as the assessment bill submit- ted by the Commissioners, was to be dis- cussed, and In announcing the meeting the members were notified that the bill men- tioned called for special vigilance on the part of tax payers. Following the reading and approval of the minutes of the last meeting, Secretary Hinternesch read a communication from! Dr. said: “I have to report the condition of Dela- ware avenue between I and K streets north- east. The street at this place is from one to three feet below the level of the pave- ment, and after every heavy rain a pond of muddy water remains, covering one-haif of the square, no dralnage being possible owing to the elevated position of the sewer at the corner of I street. The stagnant wa- ter resulting therefrom has been the direct cause of a great deal of sickness among the residents in this locality, a number of cases proving fatal within the past two years. There is no pavement on the east sidewalk, and this, with the state of the street itself during bad weather, renders it almost im- passable for pedestrians and vehicles. “Another source of pollution, amounting to a nuisance at times, is an alleyway com- ing from Ist street near the corner of I street. Here garbage is deposited, ces pools and water closets empty into it, carr: ing infection to the already defective Del! ware avenue. As this matter has already been brought before the authorities, I bes the assistance of the association in obtain- ing the means of relief.” Paving Streets. Reports of committees were called for, and Chairman Jobuston of the committee on streets, avenues and alleys submitted the following: “At a recent mecting of the committee on streets, avenues and alleys to consider the needs of street improvements in this section your committ was of the opin- jon, in view of the srallress of the appro- priaticns for street in-provements as pro- vided for in the apprcpriation bill, as the same passed the House of Representatives, that it would be more to the material in- terests of this sect'on that we adhere to our former declarations on this subject, in that we think it most advisable and more to our interests to ask Congress for no more appropriations for concrete streets until all of our streets are graded and reg- ulated and opened up to all those who may have occasion to use them. The schedule, as heretofore adopted, while it contained provision for the paving of two streets, is lets as adopted by the association.” The list of streets in the report referred to shows that a large number of streets in the ncrtheast section are not graded and regulated. The Streets Chosen. “By the appropriaticn, as stated in the bill,” the report continues, “there is allow- ed to this section the sum of $21,500, which wiil finish the first three streets on the schedule, as stated in the appropriation, and pessibly do a par: of all of the fourth street In the schedule, which streets are as follows: “Fifteenth street, from East Capitol to E Street, grade and regulate, $5,U0u. “C street, from 12th street to Tennessee avenue, grade and regulate, $5,000. “Fourth street, from H to K street, pave, $7,5u0. “Massachuseits averue, from 2d to 4th street, $15,000. “Fifteenth street, the first street on the schedule, may possibly be finished from the appropriation for last year, and if this is possible, then this year’s appropriation will be expended on the remaining tnree streets. The Commissioners, in their estimates, re- quested an appropriation of $129,0UU for this section. “As the appropriation bill is now before the Senate committee, we believe that it would be for the best interests of this sec- tion to recommend to the Senate committee that the appropriation for this section, in view of the condition of its streets, be in- creased to the same amount as last year, and that whatever sum may be appropriat- ed for improvements in this section be ex- pended in accordance with the report r ommended by your committee as herein stated. George J. Lochboehler, in which he Rallroad Tracks. “Your committee is also of the opinion that all the streets now rendered useless by the Baltimore and Ohio railroad tracks should be opened and made free to the use of persons having occasion to use said streets, and where the tracks are above grade suitable openings be made, so that the streets may be open and free to travel, and where they are below grade that suit- able crossings be made that they may be free to travel unimpeded pending the ele- vation of the tracks of the company. “The appropriation bill as the same pass- ed the House also contains an appropriation of $3,000 for the construction of county roads and suburban streets, of which amount $13,000 will be applied to grading and regulating 12th street extended from University Heights to Austin street and M street extended from 12th street to Trinidad venue.” Mr. Sowerbutts, acting chairman of the committee on assessments and apportion- ment cf appropriations, submitted the re- port of the committee. as follow The Assessment Bill. “The bil! is known as House pill No. 6415. It provides for a permanent board of three assistant arsessors appointed by the Dis- trict Commissioners at a salary of $3,000 per annum, their duty being to revise and equalize the assessmen* returned by the board of assessors appointed by the Presi- dent In 1892, and also every third year thereafter, to make out and deliver to the assessor of the District of Columbia a re- turn in tabular form of the amount, de- scription and value of the real property subject to be ifsted for taxation in the Dis- trict of Columbia.” After citing other provisions in the bill, the report continued: “Your committee, realizing the importance of this measure to the taxpayers of the District, have given the bill careful consideration in all its de- tails, and respectfully recommend that this association urge the passage of the Dill through Congress with certain amend- ments.” Amendments Recommended. The ccmmittee recommends the appoint- ment of five assistant inspeciors at $2,000 each, instead of three at $3,000 each; that the appointees represent the various sec- tions of the District and that they shal! be appointed for a term of five years, and rot at the pleasure of the Commissivners. It is further recommended by the committee that the returns of the assistants be made Monday in August, instead of January, 18%, and a number cf other changes are recommended. Both reports were received and referred to the proper committees. Uther Business. Mr. Tucker stated that he had no formal Teport to make concerning the proposed government control of the gas. The mat- ter, he thought, was getting along very well. Mr. Tucker said he thought the attention of the committee on public conveyances should take notice of the numerous street roads proposed for the northeast section, and if they are all constructed that ion will be a perfect network of roads, and t! will not be laid with reference to the b irterests of the citizens. He thought the ccmmittee should formulate some plan about this matter and then act accordingly. Mr. Martin called the attention of the association to the necessity of putting in better condition one of the Baltimore and Ohio crossings, and also the reservation at Delaw avenue and H street. As soon as the new Mbrary building is completed, he thought the reservation mentioned should be clear- ed of the large derrick and tracks. Mr. Johnston suggested that the crossing spoke of the oc of the steam tracks and the street car tracks at H street need repair, the cars sometimes come near jumping off the track while the conductor is ahead looking out | for the approach of trains. cross rails should be put at these cross- ings. There being no further business to trans- act the association adjourned. > THE CANDY EXPOSITION, A Prize Contest und Washin Are Successful, Unprecedentedly successful at the very start is the candy exposition now in progress atthe Washington Light Infantry Armory, | and last evening a larger crowd was in at- tendance than on the opening evening. Everything continued to be the acme of sweetness, from the girls in charge of the booths and their wares to the music of the orchestra and the dispositions of the visi- tors. The attraction last evening was a caramel wrapping contest, which caused almost as great excitement as is apparent at a race | track when the horses are moving along the homestretch. Each of the contestants, | Misses Daisy Rudderforth and Gertrude Turner of Doran Bros., this elty; Miss aul y C. Miller of Whitman’s, Philadel- | | . and Miss Nellie Markwood of Breisch, | Hine & Co., Philadelphia, was required to | wrap three pounds of caramels donated by | | on Girls Doran Bros. The Washington girls came out ahead, Miss Rudderforth capturing | first prize, a gold medal, by finishing in seven and one-half minutes; Miss Turner taking second place and a silver bon bon dish. Gude, the florist, has established a booth which is both artistic and beautiful. Prize contests are to occur each evening, and the management and the exhibitors will continue to distribute unlimited quantities of good things. —— Transfers of Real Estate.

Nash of Boston, while visiting at our house, met with an accident which nearly killed her. She fell from the hay mow to the barn floor, 18 feet below, and was rendered unconscious. Her mother ‘took her to the Boston City Hospital. The side of the head was badly crushed. Blood poisoning set in and the child did not rally. She could not eat anything; her stomach threw off all nourishment. Her spinal Hood’s Sarsaparilla Cures cord and the cords of her neck were drawn up and a- copper color settled over her. I persuaded her mother to let me take the girl to our country home, and as soon as I reached home I commenced to give the child Hood's Sarsaparilia. It quickly over- came her sickness and the stiffness left her neck. The good effects were also noticeable about the wound on her head.
