Todd of Ham- line made a few remarks, which were re- sponded to by Rev. Mr. Mullen, who gave a brief sketch of his life and his ministe- rial labors, which began in 1853. He also sang a number of old-time Methodist hymns. >— Alleged Violation of Contract. In a bill in equity filed for him today by Attorney Robt. J. Murray, against Charles E. Wood, Edw. Riley of Alexandria county, Va., claims that the defendant has failed to keep _a contract between them, respecting lots , 2, and 394, St. Elmo, Alexandria county, Va. The complainant states that April 2, 1SM4, he contracted with H. A. Miner, the agent of Wood, for the pur- chase of the lots, and paid $154 0n them. He claims that the payments were to be made semi-monthly, and that after a time Miner refused to accept further payments, and Is iiow endeavoring to cause him to forfeit all he has paid. He therefore prays that the money paid in by him be returned to him, or the balance of the money due be allowed to be paid in by him. —— Smalls Flowers. Fourteenth and G stree Washington, D.

The regular monthly meeting of the Mt. Pleasant Citizens’ Association was held last evening, President J. W. Somerville presiding. There was an unusually large attendance at the meeting, and some more than usually important business was trans- acted. The most important matter con- sidered, perhaps, was the extension of streets, and during the discussion it was asserted by some of the members of the association that they would insist that be- fore Congress passed any proposed bond bill for the extension of sewers there should be passed a bill making thc neves- sary appropriation for the payment of all lands required to be taken in carrying out the proposed plan of street extersion. After the election of W. W. Burnett as a member of the association, Mr. Chatfield, from the committee on schools and school house, reported a resolution that the asso- ciation indorse and approve the comin; fair of the public school teachers. Presi- dent Somerville spoke in support of the resolution, urging the members of the asso- ciation to personally support the efforts of the teachers in making the fair a social and financial success. He then introduced Miss Clara G. Brewer, principal of the Mt. Pleas- ant school, who explained the object of the bazaar. The teachers desired, she said# whatever assistance the scholars and their parents might render them. The resolution was unanimously adopted, and Miss Brewer, in returning her thanks, announced that she would be pleased to confer with the mothers of her scholars and their friends at the village school house at 10 o'clock next Saturday morning. Fire and Railroad Facilities. J. R. Buckalew, from the commit fire department, stated that it gave him much pleasure to report that the District Commissioners had agreed with the com- mittee that the Mt. Pleasant Chemical En- gine Company should be replaced by a steam engine company. Therefore the Commis- sioners had included in their estimates for next year provision for a fully equipped steam engine company. Mr. Buckalew also said he desired to express the gratityde and appreciation of the committee for the efforts of Chief Parris and the Commis- slorers in the matter. Chairman Chapin Brown, from the com- mittee on railroads, called attention to the territory lying between 14th street and Rock Creek Park, which territory, he explained, was without proper railroad accommod: tions. His committee, he said, had given the matter much thought, and had reached tke conclusion that the Metropolitan Railroad Company could, perhaps, best furnish the section with the lacking transportation fa- cilities. Tke committee therefore recommended that the road be invited and urged to ex- tend its lines as follows: From Connecticut and Florida avenues along Florida avenue to ith street, thence northward to Kenyon street (Mt. Pleasant), along Kenyon street to the Zoo, thence northward on i9th street to Howard avenue (Mt. Pleasant), along Heward avenue to 17th street and theice down 1lith street to Florida avenue, every other car running thence over to and down 9th street and the other car along Florida avenue to Connecticut avenue and thence down the latter avenue. Use of the Streets. The committee's report was adopted, when Mr. Brown called the attention of the asso- ciation to the practice of the Washington and Georgetown Railroad Company in park- ing its cars on 14th street between Kenesaw avenue and Park street. The practice was not only a nujgance, declared Mr. Brown, but It was also, he thought, an unlawful and dangerous occupancy and obstruction of the street. On his way to the meeting he noticed, he remarked, no less than thirteen cars stand- ing in the street, and frequently passengers were compelled, he said, to alight several Squares south of the terminus of the line. His committee recommended that the atten- tion of the District Commissioners be called to the matter, and that they be urged to ccmpel an abatement of the nuisance. The association unanimously approved the committee's recommendation, and then J. B. Sleman, chairman of the committee on char- ities, tendered his resignation as such, and recommended the appointment of L. S. Em- ery as his successor. The association at first refused to accept his resignation, but did so reluctantly when Mr. Sleman explained that he could no longer perform the duties, and, at his request, President Somerville appoint- ed Mr. Emery as chairman of the committee. Schools and Streets. President Somerville stated that the Postal ‘Telegraph Company had for some time been delivering messages north of Florida avenue without extra charge; and he also stated that City Postmaster Willett would establish @ sub post office in the section as soon as a suitable brick house could be secured, and one at lith street and Kenesaw avenue wis suggested. Calling attention to the fact that the new public school house in the village still re- mained without any sewerage facilities, President Somerville urged the committee on sewers to confer with the District Com- missioners and insist that the building be at once supplied. Referring to the efforts made by the a: sociation to secure the appointment of V L. Cole as a trustee of the public schools, President Somerville stated that he feared that Mr. Cole's reluctance to accept, if ap- pointed, seriously handicapped the efforts of the association in his behalf. But a strong effort was being made to secure Mr. Cole's appointment, and as it now was cer- tain that he would not decline, there was every reason to believe that he would re- ceive the appointment. Chapin Brown then Inaugurated a brief but quite lively discussion by introducing the subject of street extension. The District Commissioners, he stated, are preparing a bill to be submitted to Congress, which they are afraid to call a bond bill, but which it will be. he thought The bill would be, he understood, for laying sewers, and not for the purpose of appropriating money for payment of lands to be taken in the exten- sion of the streets, and that, too, exclaimed Mr. Brown, notwithstanding the fact that the approval of the plan and the filing by the Commissioners of the petitions for the condemnation have put a cloud on the land which cannot be lifted until the matters are all finaily settled and the lands taken paid for in fuil. Congress, said Mr. Brown, should be so ad- vised, and the District Commissioners should be given to understand that one thing should be attended to at a time in this particular instance. That ts, sald he, the lines of the streets should be first set- tled finally, and then the sewers laid. He understood the Commissioners would ask for $3,000,000 for sewers, but only $500,000 for street extension, and he had learned that Commissioner Powell felt that the lay- ing of sewers was much more important than the extension of streets. Land Taken for Streets. Mr. Brown then advised the association to vigorously oppose any bill which failed to provide for the payment in full of the lands to be taken in the extension of streets, and at once. This matter should, he thought, be laid before Congress the very day it met. “I tell you,” exclaimed Mr. Brown. “the Commissioners can get no bill through if we object, for it is much easier to kill a bill than get it passed, and we should let the Commissioners know just what to expect.” resident Somerville said the attorney for the District had informed the Commission- ers that the present act was defective. The Commissioners had, he had been told, there- fore instructed their attorney to prepare a bill which would compel owners of abutting property to pay part of the expense of tak- ing the land required in the extension of the streets. H. D. Walbridge thought that the streets should first be extended, and the land taken paid for, and the laying of sewers then might well go on. Mr. Brown referred to the server bill as a great big scheme, and whatever else might be said of {t, that was all there was in it. Before further criticising it, however, he proposed waiting until he had a chance to fully examine it. Mr. A. B. Chatfield remarked that the ap- proval of the street extension plan clouded the title of every owner to the lands em- braced within It, and owners could really pot seil cr even lease their lands until the matter was finally concluded by the pay- ment for the lands. He suggested that the executive committee of the association should interview the Commissioners and urge them to recommend the immediate passage of a bill which would at once end the controversy. President Somerville explained that at a meeting of Mount Pleasant citizens last Saturday evening he was authorized to appoint a committee of fifteen to attend to all such matters. That committee would be called together in a few days, when plans for proceeding would be determined. The meeting referred to by Mr. Somer- ville, he said, had approved the passage of a bond bill. The matter was further discussed, but no action was taken. —— MRS. GEPPERT’S DELUSION. She Wants Congress and the Presi- dent to Pay a Claim. An old woman, evidently a crank, reached Washington Tuesday evening ani asked the policeman on duty at the 6th street depot to direct her to Congress, as she wished to have a claim for damages paid. She was taken to the first precinct station ani placed in charge of the matron. Mrs. Lewis, who learned from the unfortunate woman that ner name is Maria Geppert, sixty-eight years of age. According to her story, she came here from Rockford, Iil., to secure damages for the destruction of her prup- erty. She owns a farm in Wisconsin, sh2 says, but people have burned all the build- ings on it, have shot her cattle and finally attempted to shoot her whenever she showed herseif outdoors. She went to Mil- waukee to secure lawyers to present her claims, but they would not undertake the case, and then she wandered to Rockford, where she met with the same treatment. As a result she decided to come here and secure redress from Congress in person. Mrs. Geppert had with her several deeds, receipts and $5 in money. She says she had a son in California and also a daugh- ter. To the latter she intended turning over her property, but decided that she could not do so for the reason that the daughter was forty-four years cf age. Mrs. Gep- pert declares that she cannot return home until the damages are patd, for the reason that she has nothing to live on except po- tatoes and salt, and those articles, she maintains, do not agree with her. The police surgeons examined the demented wo- man yesterday afternoon and she is to be committed to St. Elizabeth's Asylum to- day for treatment, as she positively refuses to leave the city. Sanitary Officer Frank will make an effort to communicate with relatives and friends of Mrs. Geppert and notify them of her present whereabouts and condition. —_> THE SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION. Perfecting Arrangements for the Gethering Growth of the Union. At a meeting of the executive committee of the Sunday School Union of the District of Columbia, held at the residence of Mr. Jerome F. Johnson, seven additional schools were admitted to the union, as follows: Ana- costia Baptist, Chas. R. Burr, superintend- ent; Calvary Baptist Chinese Mission, Sam'l T. Smith, superintendent; Luther Place Me- morial, B. L., Wm. H. Finckel, superintend- ent; Dumbarton Avenue Methodist Episco- pal, J. W. Kirkley, superintendent; Eastern Presbyterian, Chas. R. McBride, superin- tendent; Epiphany Morning Protestant Episcopal, Larkin W. Glazebrook, M. D., superintendent; Bruen Mission, undenomi- rational, W. H, Ramsey, superintendent. Encouraging reports were received from all the convention committees, Indicating that the convention, beginning Monday evening in First Congregational Churci and continuing in Calvary Baptist Sunday school house the morning, afternoon and evening of Tuesday and Wednesday, will be a great success. A report from Mr. William Burdette Mathews, chairman of the coramittee on credentials, described the badge finally adopted by the committee, and submitted a credential card, which was approved. Each delegate and officer Is to receive an appro- priate badge free, and souvenir badges will be sold by the committee. Mr. Topham, chairman of the committee on ushers, re~ ported that arrangements had been com- Pleted for all the evening sessions, und vol- unteers from the executive committee sured complete arrangements for the day sessions. —ass AMUSEMENTS. Lafayette Square Opera House.—A spe- cial matinee will be given tomorrow after- noon at the Lafayette Square Opera House, it being the last appearance but one of Thos. Q. Seabrooke in “A World of Trouble.” Mr. Seabrooke begins an engage- ment in St. Louis on Sunday, and in order to reach there he is compelled to leave here Saturday morning, therefore the engage- ment ends with the two performances to- morrow. Allen's Grand Opera House.—Miss Marie Wainwright will tonight be seen at Allen's Grand Opera House in “The Unequal Match. This will be the only performance of this comedy, and there will undoubtedly be a large audience to witness one of th’s actress’ most effective impersonations. “Shore Acres.""—Mr. James A. Herne, tHe author of “Shore Acres,” has had a hard struggle to gain recognition for his art, and his present success is justly deserved. Among the plays he has written are “Hearts of Oak,” “The Minute Men “Drifting Apart” and “Margaret Fleming. They were all good plays, but wi ception, “Hearts of Oak,” the public seen ed to care very little for them. The great success achieved by “Shore Acres” has changed all this, the author having more orders for plays than he will be able to write within the next ten years. A fine production of Mr. Herne’s work, which won such a notable triumph here last sea- son, is announced for next week at the Grand Opera House. The author will again appear as Uncle Nathaniel, and his sup- porting company will be the same as was seen here a year ago. Palmer Cox’s ‘Brownies.""—The interest among the children in the coming presenta- tion of Palmer Cox’s “Browni is so great that it is decided to give Mr. Cox an open air reception on the White House grounds next Monday afternoon, when all the children will have an opportunity of personally meeting the man who has fur- nished them so much pleasure. Corcoran Cadets’ Fair.—The competitive squad drill at the Corcoran Cadet Corps’ military fete did not open last evening, as announced, because of circumstances which could not ‘be prevented. The competition, however, will positively occur this evening, when both the Morton Cadets and the Na~ tional Rifles are to drill. The contest is for a costly silver cup, and will commence at 8:15 p.m., when the Rifles are to face the judges. The Mortons will appear fifteen minutes later. The decision will be re- served until tomorrow evening. The guests last evening were the C. G. Conn Drum Corps, the Knights of Pythias, Troop A and Light Battery A of the D. C. N. G. The exhibition of difficult and fancy club swing- ing Tuesday evening by Miss Hearst proved one of the features of the fair and re- warded with continued applause by the large number of spectators present. The Knights of St. John and the members of the several local lodges of the Royal Arcanum are invited to attend this evening. The -in- dividual drill for a gold medal, open to two members from each company of the Dis- trict National Guard, is to occur tomorrow evening. — The Golden Cross. At Trinity Commandery Monday evening Miss Susan A. Langley presided, and the usual business was transacted. It being the occasion of the semi-annual grand visi- tation, Grand Commander 0. B.,Hallam, accompanied by the officers of the Grand Commandery, was announced, and in pur- suance of his offer of a prize to the com- mandery which shall confer the first degree with the highest average, the com- mandery conferred that degree on one can- didate. Short speeches complimentary to the work of the-commandery, were made by Grand Commander Hallam and Past Grand Commanders Ehle, Groot and Perry. Dr. G. W. N. Custis responded to the compli- ments in a brief speech on behalf of the commandery. Bela W. Beebe of St. John’s Commandery sang “The Old Wooden Rocker,” and Mr. and Mrs. L. B. Ray sang “Would I Were With Thee.” The attend- ance was large and embraced members from every commandery in the jurisdiction. The next grand visitation will be made to Meridian Commandery, tomorrow evening. ——. “$1.25 to Baltimore and Return via Pennsylvania Railroad.” Tickets sold Saturday and Sunday, No- vember 9 and 10, good to return until Mon- day, the 11th, on any train.—Advt. pesteeet Oe Moses’ Oriental Rug Sale puts prices under New York figures. F and 11th,—Ad. WASHINGTON |THE PLACE Permanent Headquaréers of the American Institute of Archisetts Should Be Here. Mr. Glen Brown Télls of the Advan- tages Afforded by the Capitab City. At the last convention of the American Institute of Architects, held in St. Louis last month, Mr. D. Hi Burnham, the pres!- dent, in his address:ealled attention to the needs of the institute for a building as a permanent headquarters. The institute possesses many interesting and valuable drawings, photographs, periodicals and books, which have been presented to it dur- ing its existence by individuals, architects in this country and by architectural and other kMdred associations of foreign coun- tries. This matter is stored, and of ro use to any one. In a home of their‘own, such a coliection would form a nucleus for a l- brary ard architectural museum, which would grow as its value and educational importance became known. Messrs. Burnham of Chicago, Post of New York and Warren of Boston were appointed @ committee to examine into the question of location, character and feasibility of such a building, with directions to report at the next meeting of the institute, to be held in the fall of 1896, in Nashville, Tenn. Mr. Robert Stead of this city, in this con- nection, advocated Washington as the most fitting location, and suggested that, as a be- ginning and temporary arrangement, a room might possibly be obtained in the new li- brary for the display of what the institute now have of an interesting character. Advantages of Washington. At the last meeting of the Washington Chapter of the institute Robert Stead, Glen Brown and Leon Dessez were appointed a committee to formulate the advantages of Washington as the only proper city for the headquarters of such an institution, and Present these advantages to the committee appointed by the institute. “Of course,” said Mr. Glen Brown, “all Washingtonians will immediately appre- ciate the advantages of our city for such an institution. It would give it the widest publicity, not being lost as it would be in Chicago or New York in the rushing busi- ness atmosphere that prevails in those cities. All foreigners and citizens journey here and have leisure, and expect to find located here just such collections. For in- structicn they would be more valuable in connection with the government exhibits thun if Isolated. “The oppertunity of increase through the interest of foreign diplomais as well as our own ministers and consuls, would be better here than elsewhere. The institute Iccated In Washington would be a strong jever In the movement the profession has been making to have the architectural work of the Treasury Department or supervising architect's office given to the most talent- ed men in the profession in the countr through some form of limited competitio: It would aiso be one of the beginnings which will eventually make Washington the art center of the country ‘My idea is a museum, in which may be collected and displayed plans, models and Photographs of the best work, and books relating thereto in Hurope and this countr: where men truly great in the profess: may be commemorated by statues, busts or paintings.

When last month the Court in General Term decided the Potomac flats case in favor of the government, the court was unable to determine to whom several lots in certain squares on the river front be- tween 17th and 28th streets belonged, al- though It was held that they did not belong to the government. The court, therefore, directed that the various claimants submit testimony as to ownership and value of the lots. That testimony has been in progress for several days, and it is under- stood that as much as $2 a square foot is claimed by some of the claimants. The government will offer testimony, however, tending to show, it is said, that the land is worth less than that. The land in con- troversy Is reclaimed land, and it is not improbable that if the government finds the price allowed to be beyond the sum it be- Heves right, the land will be allowed to be taken and held by the claimants. ——.__ Weather Strips, Cent and a Half 2 foot.
