Contrary to general expectation, there was no objection made this morning when Mr. A. S. Worthington, counsel for Mrs. Todd and Mrs. Burton, daughters of Oliver P. Donn, moved Judge Cox to confirm the verdict rendered by the marshal’s jury Saturday afternoor, finding Mr. Donn to be of unsound mind, incapable of managing his own affairs. On behalf of Mrs. Metz- ger_and Mrs. Dinwiddie, also daughters of Mr. Donn, Mr. R. Ross Perry stated to the court that his clients had instructed him to announce that they would of- fer no objection to the court’s con- firmation of the jury’s finding. The ques- tion then arose as to who should be ap- pointed by the court as the committee of the person and estate of Mr. Donn, and that matter was postponed until tomorrow morning, in the hope that the selection of some one satisfactory to both sides may be upon. In apnouncing that his clients had de- cided not to oppose the confirmation of the jury’s finding Mr. Perry explained that the petition for the inquiry into the mental condition of Mr. Donn had been filed on the 10th instant, and the jury had found that the unfortunate man was on that day and since of unsound mind. By their verdict, said Mr. Perry, the jury de- clared that up to that date Mr. Donn was of sound mind, capable of managing his own affairs. The day the petition was filed, stated Mr. Perry, Mrs., Metzger read to her father the account of that fact, as published in The Star, and from the find- ing of the jury it was not unreasonable to conclude that such action had resulted most grievously to Mr. Donn. The unfortunate man, sald Mr. Perry, was a very sick man, and his physician had stated that tis reappearance before another jury might result most seriously; therefore, stated Mr. Perry, Mrs. Metzger and Mrs. Dinwiddie had, out of filial regard for their father, determined not to further oppose the finding of the jury. Judge Cox, however, remarked that as there was no opposition to the confirma- tion of the jury’s finding there was noth- ing for the court to do but to confirm that finding. Mr. Worthington stated that he had not prepared the decree, and suggested that the matter be postponed until tomor- row, by which time, he hoped, some per- son satisfactory to both sides will be agreed upon as the committee of the per- son and estate of Mr. Donn. Judge Cox adopted Mr. Worthington’s suggestion, Mr. Perry assenting, and the case, accordingly, went over until tomorrow morning. mh6-14d 11325 14th st. p.w.

Prosecuting Attorney Fugh has started a prosecution against Philip Deffer and Henry Smith, telegraph linemen in the em- ploy of the Postal Telegraph Company, for stringing overhead wires in alleged viola- tion of law. Tnere is a law of Congress against the erection of overhead wires, but the law is iroperative, for the reason that Congrcss failed to provide a penalty, and for this reason the government has aban- doned a number of prosecutions brought against telegraph linemen. When the first case was called in court the defendants were represented by coun- sel, and since the dismissal of that case the linemen have worked without fear of arrest and prosecution. But on several oc- casions the Commissioners took a hand in the matter, and had their linemen undo the work done by those who were employed by the ccmpanies. Policeman Philip Brown noticed two em- Ployes of the Postal Telegraph Company putting up wires near New York avenue and %th street a few days ago, and he not only stopped the work, but arrested the workers. They were released, however, and yesterday he found that the work had been renewed. Prosecuting Attorney Pugh gave the opinion that the act of November 22, 1862, might hold in the case, and yesterday the policeman arrested the linemen mentioned. The charge brought against them in the Police Court today was occupying public space for private purposes. When arraigned the linemen plead guilty to the charge, not being represented by counsel. Judge Kimball asked Mr. Pugh under what act the prosecution had been brought, and he told him the act mentioned. The judge expressed some doubt as to this particular law covering the act, and asked Mr. Pugh if he desired to be heard. Mr. Pugh said that the law and facts were before the court, and, while he was satis- fied to have the court decide the matter, he would give the mattcr his careful con- sideration, and would also get the opinion of the attorney in the matter. Judge Kimball said that the different companies were putting up overhead wires right along, and he hoped the law would cover the offense. The overhead wires, the judge said, are constantly increasing in number, and ne permits for their being put up are granted. The judge said he cesired time to give the law a careful examination, as he did not want to hold the defendants unless the law would sustain him. The act under which the prosecution was brought provides a penalty of not less than $25 nor more than $50 for each day the public space is occupied for private pur- poses. It is likely that Mr, Fugh will fully argue the case next week. >—_—_ THE MARINE BAND. A DeninI of the Story That Stranded in Texas. The officers of the marine corps deny that there is anything in the story that the members of the Marine Band are practi- cally stranded in the south and are work- ing their way back to this city, as was published in The Star last evening. It was then said that the officers knew nothing of the case, and believed that the absence of information meant that the statements contained in the letter that was received here from a member of the band were without foundation. Last evening one of the officers, speaking with authority, said that communication had been had with Prof. Fanciulli, who replied that the letter was not true, that the manager of the tour had not abandoned the band and that the financial situation was not strained. This officer said that two of the members of the band had deserted, and the inference was that the letter had been written by one of them. The officer also said that !f the band had been in distress and unable to get back Lo Washington the marine corps stood ready and willing to advance the money neces- sary to extricate the members from their predicament. As a proof of the poor foun- dation of the statements made in the let- ter it was asserted by the officer that ap- plication was made only a day or so ago from Prof. Fanciulli to have the tour ex- tended, so that the band.could meet other engagements. This permission was refused, and the band will return to Washington on the 6th day of May, instead of on the 10th, the date to tvhich it was requested that the leave be extended. — A thirteen-year-old boy named Edward Finch found the iead body of a colored infant at the mouth of the sewer at 4th and M streets northeast this morning.

STREET EXTENSIONS The First Section Completed and the Map Furnished. FROM ROCK CREEK 10 SOLDIERS’ HOME Streets, Avenues and Circles Laid Cut on Paper. >_—___. DIFFICULTIES —_+—___ SOME After months of arduous labor, the en- gineer department, which was intrusted with the preparation of the map for the extersion of streets and-avenues, under the act of April, 1893, establishing a per- manent system of highways, completed its labors today and laid the whole of the first section before the Commissioners. ‘The map was approved, and within the week will be sent to the highway com- mission, which consists of the Secretary of War, the Attorney General and the cheif of engineers of the United States army. The maps are platted on thirty-eight sheets, about 24 by 34 inches in size, and bound in volumes with index, explanations, ete. The section thus covered includes the District above Boundary street, and be- tween North Capitol street and Rock Creek. This area, excluding Soldiers’ Home and Rock Creek Park, amounts to a little more than 5,000 acres, or about five-sixths the size of Washington. Street area will consume 35 per cent of the section, leaving G per cent for building purposes or a building area about equal to that of the city proper. General Plan. The city pla: has been followed very closely, although the law allows such de- parture as the authorities in this matter may deem advisable. Streets have gener- ally, as may be seen by the plan, been run north and south and east and west. Ave- nues are selected in direction corresponding to those of the city and upon lines of best gradient. Two streets are selected running north and south as a backbone of the en- tire plan. These are 13th and 16th street, which run directly north without break from Boundary to the District line., Co- lumbla road has been widened into an ave- nue, and by a slight break connected with New Hampshire avenue in Petworth, and thence extended to its intersection with North Capitol street extended. New Jersey avenue has been deflected at Boundary and run upon a natural grade until its intersec- tion with 16th street upon the Piney branch boulevard) The Piney branch or 14th street road leading from Blagden's to Takoma Park has, on account of its high elevation and direction, been widened into an avenue. From the north end of the Rock Creek Park an avenue has been located parallel to the District line, which is to connect with the proposed park along the Eastern branch. ‘ Extensions mn the Blagden tract do not conform to the lines of sych streets in the city except in directfon,'’but are made to connect with streets laid’ out in Ingleside and approved under 'the'act of 1888. The plan of street extensions’ has been deviated from in parts next to‘the'Rock Creek Park, in order that they may better conform to the lay of the land and’ the natural park oundaries. & . Petworth and Brightwood Park have been «xcepted in the present plans, and streets north and west of them have been laid out according to the general city plan, with such modifications as ‘will allow direct con- nection with all Petworth streets. Parks and Reservations. Circles, squares and’ trfangles have been selected over the entire area and at loca- tions corresponding to those in the city plan. One of the features of the plan is the line of*a parkway connecting Rock Creek Park with Soldiers’ Home, with drives, walks, &c., on either side. In the boundaries of the Zoological and Rock Creek Parks marked changes are shown. These new boundaries were examined and approved by Mr. Olmsiead and contain sug- gestions made by him regarding the Blag- den tract and the northernmest boundary of the Rock Creek Park. Plans have been made in detail of the parkway mentioned above, embodying sug- gestions made by Mr. Olmstead, and its boundaries are according to his final ap- proval. Ditficulties in Detail Plans. While the general idea of extensions shown by these plans has met with ap- proval, certain localities were found exceed- ingly difficult of solution and have length- ened out the discussion for considerable time. One of the most difficult localities has been the crooked streets just-north cf Boundary and west of 16th street, kaown as Prospect and Cres¢ent strects. The great difficulty encountered here has been the grade on 17th street, necessitating a cut of forty or fifty fect and the straighten- ing out of the streets mentioned, which has cut the private lots fn an awkward man- ner. A _ second locality is in Lanier Heights, which had been laid out with entire dis- regard to surrounding subdivisions snd which blocked off any direct connection with the land lying to the north. Extensions of streets south of Lanier Heights have been determined upon, and if carried through will afford good communi- cation to a large tract of land which vas ethdis without convenient access to the city. Naming Streets. In connection with the street extension plan, the naming of and renaming of streets is no small matter. This question bas not yet been fully determined, but the rule that will probably be followed is to begin naming the streets above W after the principal cities of America, running in alphabetical order, according to the initial letters. When the alphabet is thus ex- havsted, the names of principal rivers aud lakes will be taken. The names likely to be_used are as follows: Cities—Albany, Baltimore, Cincinnati, De- trcit, Emporia, Frankfort, Galveston, Hart- fcrd, Indianapolis, Joliet, Keokuk, ‘Lowell, Milwaukee, Newark, Omaha, Philadelphia. Quincy, Richmond, Savannah, Trenton, Utica, Vallejo, Wilmington, Xenia, Yuma and Zanesville. Rivers and lakes—Albemarle, Brandywine, Chesapeake, Des Moines, Erie, Flint, Gene- see, Huron, Itaska, Juniata, Kennebec, Le- Righ, Mohawk, Niagara,Ontario, Penobscot, Quinebaug, Rappahannock, Susquehanna, Tahoe, Umatilla, Vermillfén and Wabash. The avenues will be named, as at present, after the states, and ‘there are a sufficient number of avenues in ‘prospect to use the name of every state. i t is expected that the-new plan will be filed with the commission during the pres- ent week. After it has been recorded, the work of the second section will be taken up. This includes the suburbs and parts of the northeast. Already som’: work has been done on this section,'and the solution of ‘the problems presented is easy when com- pared with the first sebtion. + ——._— Transfers of ‘Ren! Estate.

Burglars Get Over $1,600 From an Aged Couple. Last night between 8 and 10 o'clock thieves entered the house of Nicholas Ho!- cer, No, 1212 4% street, and made a good haul, carrying off $1,651 in cash, $1,300 in gold and 1 in greenbacks. Nicholas Hcicer is about eighty years old and his wife is about five years his junior. The old man is a shoemaker by trade, and has a large shop at his house, where he and his sons, Benjamin and George, are in partnership. Both sons are married and live only a few doors from their parents. The aged couple own several houses in South Washington, and were saving this money, it is thought, for the purpose of purchasing one more piece of real estate. Having the mroney secreted in different places about the rooms on the upper floor, Mr. Holcer thought it was safe from bur- glars, and even should burglars ever appear in the house,he felt satisfied that they would get only a small part of the money. But in this. he was mistaken, for last night the house was visited by persons who had no business there, and every cent of the money was taken. Mr. Holcer and his wife were seated in the shop while the burglars operated on the floor above them, but so quietly did the intruders move about the room that they failed to attract attention, and it was not until after 9 o'clock, when the aged couple went to retire, that they made the sad discovery. They had been in the habit of making a sitting room of the shop at night, and that is how they happened to be in there so late. > As soon as the robbery was discovered wcrd was sent to the police, and Detective Rotert Boardman was sent to make the investigation. He found the job a neat one, and the only things left behind by the burglars were an ircn spring and a copy of the Baltimore American. The fact that this paper was fc.nd gives rise to the suspicion that a Baltimere crook probably assisted in the jeb, The putty had been cut from the window sash, and a pane of glass removed. This was done without making any noise, and when the fastening was removed the burglars had no trouble in entering the second-story window. In rear of the house are fences and sheds, which make access to the window as easy as by a ladder, and the burglars, of course, departed in the same way. This morning Detectives Carter and Gallaher went to the house and made an investigation. After it was known that the robbery had been committed, the police learned of the appearance in the neighborhood last night of several persons, whose conduct is re- garded as suspicious, and they are now THE COURTS.

There was another complaint lodged against Jackson City yesterday, and it may be that the alleged confidence men who fleeced a young man from New York may be arrested here as suspicious persons, and held for a month or more or required to give bond. The young man from New York went over to the lawless settlement yester- day, and wher he entered one of the places there he got in a game of “over and under.” At first he had a streak of luck, but his luck soon changed, and when he discovered that he had parted with $100 he made com- plaint. He then realized that the sharpers had worked a “‘con.”” game on him, and he became so demonstrative that $50 of his lost money was returned. The New Yorker was glad to get back half the money, but still he was anxious to have the men arrested, and so he made complaint to the police here. Detectives heard his complaint, and are now looking for the men who got his money. If found here they will be locked up as vagrants and suspicious persons. + —— Liberty Lodge.
