The semi-annual election of officers was the cause of bringing out a good attend- ance at the regular meeting of the Wood- burn Citizens’ Association Tuesday evening at Kelly’s store. The meeting was presided over by Dr. A. Walker, the president, and after minutes of the last meeting were read and approved, Mr. John Kelly of the road committee reported that Rock Creek Church road is being graveled and put in gced condition. Dr. Walker of the police patrol box com- mittee said that he and several other mem- bers of the committee had an interview with Mr. Miles an‘l Major Moore relative to the matter, and both were favorably im- pressed and promised to do all they could toward having a patrol box put in at Woodburn. ~ The committee on new school honse re- ihe matters progressing nicely, and that in a short time a site for the school house would be purchased. ‘The only noticeable hitch of the evening occurred when the post office committee Made its report that Woodburn could never get a post office unless the residents and roperty owners framed a petition asking for the removal of the Terra Cotta office. Quite a little discussion followed, the result being a motion, by Mr. C. A. Langley,“that the chair appoint a sommittee cf two to wait on Miss Emma Wiltberger, the post- mistress at Terra Cotta, for the purpose of Betting her sentiments in regard to the matter. Messrs L. B. McEntyre and B. F. Joy were appointed as auch committee and instructed to report at the next regular meeting. The semi-annual ele2tion of officers then took place, with the followlag result: Dr. A. Walker, president; C. A. Langley, vice resident; John Meiklejohn, secretary; B. . Joy, treasurer.

STREET EXTENSION LINES Prof. Riley Replies to the Statement of Mr. J. B. Wimer.. A Further Contribution to the Con- troversy in Regard to the Connec- tleut Avenue Deflection, ‘fo the Editor of The Evening Star: In The Star of the 6th instant my friend and neighbor, J. B. Wimer, endeavors to defend the proposed Connecticut avenue abnormity in connection with my protest against the same. “ It would seem that said protest must have unduly excited Mr. Wimer, since it has caused him to fall into an unnecessary number of misstatements, as I shall presently show. All the essential argu- ments made by me remain, however, un- challenged. That Mr. Wimer represents a small minority, and that the consensus of opinion, both of the residents of the region affected and of the citizens generally, is against him; that he has been personally and professionally the chief opponent of Straight extension; that the Commissioners have been most inconsistent in thejr actions as to the same, one set undoing the acts of its predecessors; that the grant- ing of the subdivision of the Phelps tract and the consequent premature indorsement ©f the crook was inconsistent with“ pre- vious refusals and against the expressed majority views of citizens, of the board of trade, and of Commissioners Rossell, Douglass, Parker and Truesdell; that it was granted pending consideration of the gen- eral street extension plans, which were to be finally submitted to a superior commis- sion—all these vital contentions are a cepted by my critic either in direct aémis- sion or in silence, as was indeed unavold- able, since they are incontestable facts. His guns are leveled at minor points, which have bue the remotest bearing on the main issue. Yet even at these he fires recklessly and without effect; for, with one solitary exception, all the supposed in- accuracies which he charges and reiterates against the protest in question are either imaginary, or else based on careless read- ing or misunderstanding of the facts in the case. Alleged Inaccuractes, ‘Thus he charges that California, Wyom- ing and Kalorama avenues receive my con- demnation, etc. There is not a word of condemnation of these avenues in the un- varnished historical explanation which I have given of their non-conformity to the city plan, end my friend should at least take pains to read plain English in his at- tempts to criticise, lest he be charged with that recognized sign of weakness in argu- ment, viz., the setting up a man of straw for want of anything else to knock down! The fact vouchsafed that these three short, parallel roadways, totally isolated from and disconnected with any other street systems, sre denominated avenues, because, as Mr. Wimer intimates, they are Parallel with Rhode Island avenue, miles away, will be duly appreciated by that Portion of the public which has a sense of humor, but the fact has, otherwise, noth- ing to do with the case. _ Again, he makes ine say that the fitty- fcot roadway between California and Kal- orama avenues “is not opened, but pro- Jected,” putting the quotation in the pres- ent tense, and then offering, in refutation, the fact known to everybody in the least interested, viz., that the road was asphalt- ed some two years ago under the permit system. My protest shows that it was de- scribed as “not opened, but projected” April 2, 1887, on the very Truesdell subdi- vision which he refers Rs recorded in liber county No. 6, folio 77; but this subdi- vision does ».ot show the fifty-foot exten- sicn, as he asserts. It shows just what I have stated in the protest, viz., a one hun- dred-foot roadway from Woodley road to Kalorama avenue, and contains the proof that the road was not then opened up to the south. It was not till July 5 of the same year (1887) that the north fourth of this fifty-foot roadway was recorded in Mr. Presbrey's subdivision, and though I have no means here, away from Washington, of verifying this fact, I feel confident that Surveyor Forsyth will testify, if need be, to the accuracy of the statement. One who undertakes to criticise and charge others with errors should be more careful of his utterance3, and it is even more remarkable that a wide-awake real estate agent should be so unfamiliar with the records of the surveyor’s office than that he should con- found chrenological sequence, misquote and misunderstand, in his attempt to make out a case! Not Originally Deaicated. The history of that cross road is, in short, just as given In my protest, and {t was, as there stated, originally not dedicated to the District. Opened up as.a.mud road some seven years ago, three-fourths of it re- mained for sears private property. Col. Truesdell and R. E. Morris, in whose names the lots between California and Wyoming avenues stood dur.ng those years, and yet stand on the assessor’s books, paid no taxes on them. it is true, and ulti- mately deeded them to the District. The dedicatory deed which Mr. Wimer has read, and which was made lorg after the road was opened up and in use, does not invali- date anything I have said, and was not, so far as-I have been able to ascertain, ac- companied by any record in the surveyors office. Even as late as the meeting of July 17, 1893, before the Commissioners, Maj. Powell stated that he could find no title in the District to this road, or portions of it. Indeed, about that time it was openly charged that the piece just south of Pres- brey’s subdivision was yet held in private hands; that, though a deed of dedication had been made by the owner, it had never been ratified or recorded, but was held in his safe by Mr. Wimer, as agent, who ev2n threatened those most concerned, and espe- clally one of the property owners aiong the line, that he would not consummate the deed, and would thus close up the street if his own plans were opposed. It seems that Col. Truesdell sold the lot to Mrs. Stevens on the northwest corner of Cai.tornié avenue and the cross street, and that Mr. Wimer did not. Even this very great blunder of mine 1s connected with some extenuating circumstances, for Mr. Wimer has well-nigh had a monopoly of sign advertisements in that neighborhood, while none cf Col. Truesde'l’s has been seen there for years. But—tha.:kful for the correction and admitting the error—my contention that the sale of this lot and the other acts referred to interfered with the plan of widening the street in the west, which had been previously contemplate: is not in the least affected thereby; where as the other contention, from the same data, that these were evidence of the abandonment at one time of this cross street as Connecticut avenue extended Is greatly strengthened by the correction. For it is almost inconceivable that Col. Trues- dell, after having subdivided and paved to the roth In conformity with a projected plan which ran through that lot, would have deliberately destroyed that projected pian except upon some assurance or conviction that it was abandoned. I will close the present sufficiently long letter by calling attention to a typographic- al error in my published protest. The pass- age runs thus: “That the action above re- ferred to was taken and the curve sanc- tioned {n the honest conviction that it was wisest for economical and other reasons will net be doubted by any (one) who knows the high perscnal worth and in- tegrity of Maj. Powell and his assoctates in the act,” &c. I wrote “associate,” and this little s has done an apparent injustice to ex-Commissioner M. M. Parker; for there are but two names (those of Ross and Powell) to the approval of the subdivision of the Phelps tract, which, if ultimate}: aliowed to Interfere with the proper ex- tension of Connecticut avenue, will, as I firmly believe, be more and more loudly execrated and condemned by the public as time rolls on.

AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN. Am Incorrigible Boy Escapes From His Guardian. Behind the bars at the seventh precinct station is a very short black chap with a long record for juvenile rascality. He is Marcellus Active, who was arrested last week, with two companions, for “pilfering.” Instead of sending him to the reform school, Judge Miller turned him over to the board of children’s guardians. This was done because the prisoner, who is about ten or eleven years old, was affiicted with an ugly ringworm on his head. After a day or two Marcellus was turned over to a “Mrs. Jackson.” There he stayed until Monday, when he eluded his watchman and made home again, after having been newly invested with clothes. Yesterday the police here were telephoned to pick up Marcellus. The boy insists that he is only six years of age, but ten or eleven have surely been his—while in that space -he has lived twenty of his grand- father’s years. Today he will go back to the board of children’s guardians. Drowned in the Canal. Mary Shcemaker, a seventeen-year-old girl, daughter of Jacob Shoemaker, was drowned yesterday in the Chesapeake and Ohio canal. The accident occurred at Lit- tle pool, a. wide pcrtion of the waterway this side of Hancock. Deceased was dip- ping a pail of water, when she lost her bal- ‘ance and fell in. No one was near enough to save the girl. Her screams were heard and she was seen just as the last effort to remain above was made. The body was recovered shortly after the end came. Notes. On July 1, by order of the Commission- ers, the squares in Georgetown were re- numbered, the first begirning with 1171 and the others following consecutively. Square 1170 was the highest in Washirgton before the consolidation of the two cities. The island in the Potomac opposite Han- cock, on which a pler of the bridge there rests, has been leased for five years by Bridges and Henderson to the Hancock Band, who will use it as a resort for them- selves and friends.

Dominick Rickenbacher, the keeper ‘of a Jewelry store at 1213 G street northwest, is largely interested in the efficiency of In- spector Hollinberger’s detective corps just at present, because of a bold robbery of $700 worth of gold watches from his store about noon yesterday. The store being lo- cated in the business part of the city, where policemen are supposed to be more numerous than in other sections, makes the affair an unusually bold one. But as it happened the thief had a clear field in which to work, and the fact that the rob- bery was not detected for some minutes gave him ample time to cover his tracks to some extent, and get away with the seventeen watches he took from the show case. Some time before the robbery was committed the proprietor of the store waited on a customer, a well-dressed man about fifty years old, with a blonde mus- tache, brown hair and silk hat. This man selected from the tray a watch worth $65, and had it put aside for him, saying he would call for it next week. He was the last customer in the store before the rob- bery was discovered. When the jeweler had finished waiting on this customer he walked to the back reom; and in a few minutes the ice man entered the store. Upon going behind the counter Mr. Rickenbacher noticed that the door of the show case was open, and he closed it without looking in the case, as he knew of no reason for suspecting anything wrong. Later, however, while walking through the store he was surprised to find that a tray of watches had been taken from the case, and the police were called in. Inspector Holinberger and Detectives Lacy and Boardman were notified, and the two detectives were soon at the store. Jeweler Rickenbacher gave them all the information he had. He told them the numbers of the watches, and gave a minute description of his last customer, whom he did not suspect of any wrong doing. Dur- ing. the course of the investigation the de- tectives learned that a colored man had been seen to leave the store soon after the well-dressed man was there, but the jeweler did not see the colored man. The officers were told that the latter person is a man who {s well known in police circles, being one of the cleverest colored crooks here. Last night a man thought to be a friend of this particular mar was arrested on sus- picion, but he denied that he knew any- thing of the alleged robber or the robbery. Detective Boardman went to Baltimore last night to follow up the investigation, and the police authorities of other cities have been asked to do what they can in the case. ee LITTERING THE STREETS. Commissioner Ross Calls Attention to a Common Evil. “There is one matter,” said Commissioner Ress to a Star reporter today, “for which the Commissioners want to ask the hearty co-operation of the people of Washington, without which they are unable to accom- plish anything. They want their assistance in keeping the streets and avenues of Washington in a condition befitting the na- tional capital. “We hope to do better work in the street cleaning department this year than ever before; but wherever one goes throughout the city the appearance of the streets is marred by the accumulations of paper and other refuse matter, which collect between the days when the streets are swept, and which are blown from the pavements upon the parkings, vacant lots and reservations and remain until destroyed by the ele- ments. A little care on the part of each householder and proprietor of a store would sbyiate much of this trouble. Newspapers and wrapping paper are thrown upon the streets. They are not only unsightly, but dangerous, inasmuch as they frighten horses when blown about. I have attrib- uted much of this to thoughtlessness and to want of knowledge of the police regula- tions. In a community as _public-spirited and as proud of their capital as are the people of Washington it ought not to be necessary to prevent such littering of the highways by enforcement of police regula- tions; and I have thought it might only be necessary to call public attention to it. It is apparent that some of the proprietors of stores sweep the refuse from their stores upen the sidewalks and pavements. “Section 1 of article VIII of the police regulations prohibits the throwing upon any street, avenue, alley, sidewalk, park- ing or vacant lot of paper or any other refuse matter; and provides a_penalty to be recovered in the Police Court of not less than $5 for each and every violation of the regulation. I am confident that it will not be necessary to resort to this mode of pre- venting the evil referred to, and therefore only call the attention of the people to the fact to invoke their co-operation.” —>—_—_ Attractive Sole at 1229 and 1231 G St. Latimer & Morgan will have a big col- jection of furniture, matting and carpets from the government, office desks, cigars, &c., at their auction rooms tomorrow at 10 o'clock. —_.__ Mountain and Seaside Resorts, The B. and O.

Griswold, presi- dent of the Anacostia Railroad Company, to show cause why he does not operate the lines of railway under his control and for failure to do so suffer the penalty pro- vided by law” was the quiet announce- ment to a few of the leaders in the present strike of the employes of that company at a great meeting of the strikers and sympathizing friends which was held last night in Haines’ Hall, Anacostia. Previous to the calling of the meeting to order one of the strikers, who is an excellent crganist, took a seat at an organ which is kept in the hall for use at various society mcetings, and played a number of hymn tunes. Soon after he began playing several others of the company gathered around, and presently there were wafted out intu the night air the strains of the music of such old familiar favorites as “Jesus, Lover of My Soul,” ‘‘Nearer, My God, to Thee,” and many more equally as well and as favorably known. The special object of* the meeting was to make final arrangements for the great lawn party, to which reference has been made _on several occasions heretofore in The Star, and which will be given under the auspices of a number of leading citizens of Anacostia tonight. Before, however, this matter was entered into Mr. Thomas J., Lawrence, president of the Protective Street Railway Union, who presided, made the gratifying announce- ment that at a meeting of the Railway Union held yesterday afternoon at Bunch’s Hall, Washington, a sum of money suf- ficient to pay each of the strikers a week's Wages was appropriated, and that he would pay the amount due each man upon de- mand at the strike headquarters in Ana- costia this morning at 11 o'clock. The an- nouncement was received with applause on the part of the citizens present, but the strikers, while evidently feeling grateful for the support extended by their brethren of the union, expressed their thankfulness in a more quiet way. Several Addresses. Several addresses were made during the Progress of the meeting, all of them very interesting, and each speaker received a generous amount of applause. The first of these speeches was by Dr. George Haven- ner of the proof room of the government printing office, who, among other things, said: “I was much surprised this afternoon to receive, while in the proof room, a mes- sage to attend a meeting of government printers on one of the upper floors in the gcverrment printing office, the object being, as stated, to show active sympathy for the striking employes of the Anacostia Rail- road Company. Upon reaching the room where the meeting was to be held I found that the various chapels of printers had merged into one. Subsequently the entire body of printers resolved to take tickets, which has been done,.for the party, and at- tend the gathering tonight in a body.” Mr. T. P. Green, also-of the government printing office, said that the lawn party had so far outgrown! the limits originally prescribed for it that-ityhad become neces- sary to secure a larger dawn than that first accepted upon whicle te hold it, and Mr. H. A. Linger, the president of the Ana- costia Citizens’ Association, had generously consented to allow the use of his beautiful grounds. : Mr. Green also called attention to the fact that not once since the strike began has a single one of the strikers been under the Influence of liquor, nor has there been the least disorder of any sort among the men. Continue to do this, said he, and you vill continue to have the support of the citizens of Anacostia. He further assured the strikers that Columbla ‘Typographical Union has indorsed their action, and will back them, and that the union will stand by them if it takes ten. years.of fighting to secure their rights. In closing his remarks, Mr. Green said the lawn party is an as- sured success, and that much of the credit for this is due to Messrs. J. M. Keating, Dr. George Havenner, W. E. Johnson and others. Remarks of an encourazing character and addressed to the strikers were made by Messrs. W. E. Johnson, J. Van Hay and others. Active Preparations. |. Dr. Havenner called attention to the-fact that a great deal of work would have to be done today in order to have the lawn en- ‘tirely ready for use by the time it fs de- sired to receive visitors tonight, and on his motion President Lawrence appointed the following committees: To mow the lawn, Messrs. C. S. Townsend, Augustus Jessie, H. Jones, G. Newton, W. Sears, A. Filius. To direct visitors how to reach the coach- es at the navy yard, Messrs. W. Moore, F. Mitchell, J. H. Bivens. - To perform simflar service at the corner of Harrison and Monroe streets, Anacos- ta, for those who may come from Wash- ington on foot, Messrs. C. W. Mattingly, R. Jones, Silas Newton. Messengers for executive committee, com- posed of Messrs. T. B. Green, Dr. George Havenner, Thomas F. Gray, W. E. John- son, J. B. Redd. The following Icdies have volunteered to act as waitresses to serve ice cream and cake, and it is expected that many more will do ikewise during today: Mrs. Annie Smith, Mrs. Susie Jessie, Mrs. Baker, Mrs. Curtis, Mrs. Sadie B. Poates, the Misses Blanche Graham, Fannie Anderson, Ada Anderson, Marian Anderson, Leone Green, Belle Scott and Nettie Kibble. President Lawrence announced that ten coaches have been secured to convey pas- sengers tonight between the terminus of the cable line and the residence of Mr. Linger, where the party will be held, on Harrison street near Taylor street. The Railway Union. The regular weekly meeting of the Pro- tective Street Railway Union was held at Bunch’s Hall, 8th street northwest, yester- day afternoon. The attendance was un- usually large. President Thomas J. Law- rence presided and made a statement as to the present etatus of the Anacostia ratl- road strike, and predicted that in the end the men will triumph. Several other mem- bers also spoke on the same subject, and then by a unanimous vote a sum of money, as above stated, was ordered ap- propriated for the purpose of paying each striker a week's wages, and this was car- rled out today by President-Lawrence, who had been requested to act as paymaster. $5.00 Weekly Seashore Excur- $5.00. sions ¥in Pennsylvania Railrond.
