Judge Kimball's Decision Not a Sur- | The Marriage in New York of a Young prise—Comgressional Action Neces- sary—Regulations to Be Tested. Judge Kimball's decision in the case in court yesterday brought against the agent of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad for fail- ure to fence the company’s tracks, in com- pliance with the provisions of the recent regulation of the Commissioners was not at all a surprise to the legal representatives of the District or the defendant. Before the regulation was made it is said the attorney advised the Commissioners that they had no authority under the act of Congress to make the regulation. The section under which the prosecution was brought reads as follows: “Wher: the grade of a steam railway track is approximately even with the adjacent surface the line of the road shall be securely closed on both sides with a substantial fence, and all grade crossings or intersections of any steam railroad track with streets or avenues shall be securely guarded by a suitable gate or guard erected and maintained by the company owning or operating such track. Between sunset and sunrise of each day a headlight or other equivalent reflecting lantern, to give due warni:g to persons near or crossing steam railroad tracks of the approach of trains, locomotives or cars, shall be displayed upon the advancing end of every train of steam railroad cars, and of single steam railroad cars and locomotives not in trains, when moving in the District of Columbia. It shall be unlawful for any person to set in .mo- tion, run or operate any train of railroad cars, single railroad car or locomotive with- = the said display of such lights or lan- erns.”” Under this decision the Commissioners will probably be unable to compel the railroad company to spend a few hundred dollars to protect life and limb along the line of the railroad tracks until Congress enacts the necessary leyislation. Mr. Pugh, the prosecuting officer, made a fight In the tase for the District, and en- deavored to convince the court that the regulation had been made in the proper way, and that the act of Congress gave the Commissioners the necessary authority. But Judge Kimball took a different view of the law, and decided that the Commis- sioners had not been given authority to make such a regulation. The decision was not a surprise to Mr. Pugh, who thinks Judge Kimball's decision is probably correct, and he realizes that it will require further congressional legisla- tion to compel the company to fence its tracks. Ex-President Frizzell of the Northeast Washington Citizens’ Association was in court yesterday, and he was probably the most surprised as well as the most disap- pointed man there. He has spent a great amount of time In an effort to have the railroad company give the people some lit- tle protection and prevent the wholesale destruction of life. From time to time the company has made various promises, but when the time comes for action there 1s usually something to prevent the spending of a little money. Now the association will renew its efforts in this matter, and will make an effort to have the next Congress do something. Members of the association think that with so many new members in the next Congress they may be able to get some railroad legis- lation. In a few days the same company will again be brought into court to fight a legal battle. This will be a prosecution for fail- ure to stop engines and trains before pass- ing over the H street crossing of the Wash- ington branch of the road. This regulation, which will become a law next week, pro- vides: “That engineers of steam ratiway trains, or engines coming into Washington city on the Washington branch of the Bal- timore and Ohio railroad, before crossing Hi street shall bring their trains or engines to a full stop immediately north of said street, and not attempt to cross it until so directed by the conductor or brakeman in charge of the train or engine, who shall be satisfied from personal observation that the street may be crossed with safet, This regulation was enacted because of the dangerous curve just north of H street, which has resulted in the slaughter of a number of persons. It is said that repre- sentatives of the company have notified the authorities that they will pay no at- tention to this regulation, and Mr. Pugh says he will prosecute the company the first time the provisions of the regulation are violated. As heretofore published in The Star, the tracks of the Baltimore and Potomac rail- road have been fenced and the danger to life and limb lessened. So far as this com- pany is concerned there Is an old act of the legislative assembly requiring this to persone, and the validity of this act is not qu > STILL ANOTHER RICHMOND. Candidates for Favor in the Tele- phone Field Seem to Be Getting Thick Several weeks ago many of the business men of the city were approached by a young man who solicited their prospective subscriptions to a new system of tele- phones. It was represented that the serv- ice given by the Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone Company, which now holds the mcnopoly in this city, was inadequate and altogether unreasonable the rental charged for ‘phones and that the new organization would not only guarantee perfect service to its patrons, but reduce charges for the tustruments to $50 per year. The agent who presented these alle- gations thereupon requested the persons he visited to sign an agreement to patron- ize the new concern. The paper they were asked to subscribe to provided that all persons who did sa were required to use no other than the instrument which would be put In by the new company for a period of three years. Many names were secured, especially in the business section. When the general announcement was made all over the country that the Stand- ard Telephone Company had been organ- ized to compete with the Bell Telephone Company in every city where the latter or its branches operated it was thought in Washington that the Standard and the ccmpany mentioned above were one and the same. This impression was heightened when the further announcement was made that’ Mr. L. G. Hine and other well-known gentlemen were among the directors of the local branch of the new Standard Com- peny. The organizations, however, are declared to be entirely different. The company which solicited three-year subscribers has no connection with the Standard Com- pany, but is said to be composed of capi- talists of the south and west. one can be found who will speak authoritatively on the intentions of the corporation, but it is known that parties interested in it have declared that It has already gotten the promises "of many of the present sub- scribers to the Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone Company to take its tnstru- ments and use them exclusively for three years as soon as the company commences operations. ——.__ Action in Major Wham’s Cane. The President has epproved the proceed- ings, findings and senterce of dismissal of the court-martial in the case of Maj. Joseph W. Wham of the pay department, but in view of the recommendations for clemency, signed by all the members of the court, “nd in consideration of the condition and needs of his family and his services in the army, the sentence of the court-martial is mitigated to.a suspension on half pay from rank, duty and all privileges until January 18, 1904, the date of his retirement, his name to be placed at the foot of the list of majors in the pay department. Maj. Wham is now numbered nine in his grade. He now drops to number twenty-five. His troubles have all arisen from mismanage- ment of his private financial affairs. ° When Resignations Will Not Go, Secretary Carlisle has officially notified the principal officers, heads of bureaus, nceminating officers and all other officers of the Treasury Department that “hereafter no resignation of any officer, clerk or other employe in the Treasury Department, or any service or bureau thereof, will be ac- cepted when the cause for such resigna- tion ts for any delinquency or misconduct. In all such cases recommendation for the removal of the the offending person must be made, and not the of a resig- nation recommended.” Lady Known Here—Per- sonal Mention. A full and highly interesting meeting of the Dolly Madison Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolu- tion was held last evening at the home of Mr. and Mrs. John Joy Ed- son, on 16th street, Mrs Tabor Johnson, the regent, presiding. Several matters of importance were disposed of in the regu- lar order of business, when the chapter adjourned to proceed with the literary portion of the program, which has always Proven a very enjoyable feature of the meetings. A historical paper was read by Miss Lyman, which was followed by a violin and piano duet by Mr. Green and Miss Gisborne. Mrs. Ross Browne, the chepter historian, then read a historical paper. A plano sclo by Miss Jones was fol- lcwed by Mr. Job Barnard giving several humorous selections, and the entertain- ment was closed by a song from Mrs. Ralph Barnard, accompanied by Miss Old- berg on the piano. The c' ter also de- cided to celebrate the pirthnas of Dolly Madison, May 20, by a tea. The handsome dining room was thrown open and tables laden with the good things of the season heartily enjoyed. Miss Marie Alice Doyle of this city was married bcaaergs ? in New York to Lieut. Col. William A. Marye of the army. The wedding ceremony was performed in the presence of only the immediate members of the families by the Rev. Cornelius Smith of St. James’ Church, assisted by the Rev. Mr. Bellows of the same church. The bride is the youngest daughter of the jate Samuel Doyle of Columbus, Ohio. Lieut. Col. Marye is the son of the iate George F. Marye, a wealthy San Fran- cisco banker. The couple will sail for Europe tomorrow, and upon their return will reside at Fort Monroe, where Lieut. Marye is in command of the arsenal. Mrs. Logan returned Saturday night after four or five months abroad, most of the time being spent in southern Europe and in Egypt. Mr. and Mrs. John Logan were in New York to meet her and re- turned with her here. Mrs. Philip Hichborn and Miss Hichborn have gone to Priladelphia for a visit of a few days. Mrs. Emanuel Blout has discontinued her ‘Thursdays at home for the season. Mrs. A. L. Barber arrived in town Tues- day and she intends to remain about ten days. Mr. Barber and her son and daugh- ter will join her later im the week. Mrs. Barber will be glad to see her old friends at “Belmont” Friday afternoon. Boron Rothschild gave a luncheon yes- terday In London in honor of Mr. George Curzon, previous to his departure for. this country. Among those present were the Prince of Wales, Sir Arthur Wellesley Peel, M. P., who has just resigned the speaker- ship of the house of commons, and Mr. James R. Maguire, M. P. Mrs. Harry Franc has discontinued her day at home for the season. A number of young people gathered at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Barrich last Saturday to celebrate the thirteenth birth- day of their son Maurice. Games were enjoyed, after which all adjourned to the dining room, where refreshments were ee Mr. McAdeo's Trip. Assistant Secretary McAdoo, who made the trip to Kingston, Jamaica, on the cruiser Columbia, has notified the Secretary of the Navy that he will extend his cruise on that vessel to Colon, and that he will return to Washington by the 20th instant. He is traveling as a guest of Capt. Sum- ner, commanding the Columbia, and his visit to the Panama canal has no prej special significance. t, Ay Interment at Gieowad April 10, 1905, JANE COR- .
