INSPECTING THE “LAND Jury Con mences Work on Street Exten- sion Condemnations, Instructed by the Court — Afterward Takes a Ride on the Street Cars. The tury of seven appraisers in case 419, Denison and Leighton’s subdivision of Mt. Pleasant, ‘one of the forty-seven subdivis- ions included within section 1 of the ap- proved plan of street extension, began’ their labers today by making a personal examination of the eighty-three parcels embraced within the subdivision. ‘There being no funds available-for. their trans- portation, the jury, of which Mr. Louis D. Wine was selected foreman, proceeded to the section in question in street cars,, al- though Atterney W. L. Cole, on behalf of the land cwners, offered to provide car- riages for them. ‘today and. tomorrow the jury are expected to occupy in viewing the location of the land 1 in examining the improvements thereon, and the case w therefore adjourned until Friday morning, when, it is thought, the examination of witnesses on behalf of the District ‘as to the value of t lands and improvements will be commented: When the case came up before Ju Cex in the District ccurt this morn coursel for the District provided each ) | member of the jury with a plat of t division In question, which Hes north of Columbia road, and threugh which it vee proposed to exter.d 16th street,,.and. nounced that Mr. Hazleton of the District engineer's cffice would accompany the jury in the'r examination of the section. Replying to the inquiries of Foreman Wine, Judge Cox informed the jury that they might examine the subdivision and the improvements on the lands proposed to be cordemned and taken as often as they might deem n Testimony woul be taken before them, however, in the ence of the court, pursuant to the require- ments of the street extension act. The ae trict being the plaintiff in the cas would, said Judge Cox, open and close. jury should cons.der what-effects on lots In the subdivision the suppression or abandon- ment of the streets would have, if any, and if owners were to have returned to them abandoned parts of streets that should also be considered by the jury. The findings of the jury, Judge Cex further explained, were required to be those of onl; majori- ty of the jury, the law rot fequiring that a verdict should be unanimously found. While it would be proper for owners to assist the jury in their examination of the land and improvements therecn, the court remarked that ow ert could do nothing more until they submitted thetr evidence In court. Judge Cox stated that he would defer further instructions to the jury unt'l after they hal visited and inspect»d the land and improvement:, and thereupon adjourn- ed the case wu Friday morning. —- — FEDERATION OF ‘LABOR.

Dumas’ “Monsieur Al- phonse,” under the title of “Raymonde,” was presented for the first time in this city lest night by Miss Clara Morris. Miss Mor- ris, in the title role, finds less opportunity to display her emotional powers than in the mest of her characters, but she costumed the part elegantly. The Mme. Guichard of Miss Lavinia Shannon was an artistic piece of work, and fully justified the warm praise ske has received for her interpretation of this character elsewhere. Messrs. J. M. Celville, Howard Coveny and Walter Walk- er; were effective in their respective parts, as was little Margery Valentine as the child. Tonight Miss Morris will eppear ip “Miss Multon.’ ‘The Taylor Brothers.—The Taylor Broth- ers, ex-Congressman Alf and ex-Gov.

Southard had the most prominent part, being down for five piano solos. Miss Florence Stidham sang “He Was a Prince,” by Synes, and Mr. Perry B. Turpin sang a double num- ber, both being well received. Bellini’s aria from “La Somnambula” was rendered" by Mrs. Hattle Mcads-Smith in excellent style. Miss Pillsbury, Miss Elizabeth Wahly and Miss Ada Townsend also par- Yicipated in the concert.

CURRENCY ?2ISSUES. Mr. Eckels Says tie Government Should Not Attempt It. Mr. Eckels, controller wf the currency, read an interesting paper on the national currency before the students of Columbian University yesterday afternoon. He gave a general account of the'system from its in- aguration. He said that the Treasury De- Partment should only collect and disburse revenue, and ought not ta issue notes. “When the legislative:branch of the gov- ernment sald Mr. Eekels, in concluding his paper, “enacts such Jaws as will give to the banks alone the note-issuing power, they will again turn tor it, and in so doing will give relief to the Treasury Department and the business interests of the country. The government should never issue direct a note to circulate as money. It ought not te be disturbed with maintaining gold re- serves and redeeming demand obligations. The legitimate province of the Treasury Department is to collect revenues and dis- burse them. It is not to conduct the busi- ness of a bank. The banks alone should is- sue circulating notes. They alone should be bothered with questions of reserves and re- demption. If upon them rested these bur- dens, they would be discharged in such a way as to facilitate and promote the busi- ness Interests of the country, and not to cause loss and distrust. Some day I am confident that this will come about, and when it does the American citizen will won- der what strange infatuation could have possessed him to make him a believer in currency Issues made direct by the govern- ment.” —___—_ Under Edmunds Act. Josephine Simmons, colored, and John Lewis, white, were arrested in the house of an old man named Woods Monday night on a charge of violating the Edmunds law. Woods keeps a “cook shop” on 4% street, and when the police went to the house they found Lewis, who is a bandsman in the Third Artillery Band, in one of the upper rooms. The girl was found hidden in a trunk in the room. They were released on $5 collateral, which was forfeited in the Po- lice Court yesterday. At the house of Annte Flood, in Louse alley, Sergt. Daley and Officers Baur and Smith arrested Fred Tasker and Annie Smith, the former white and the latter col- ored, and they were tried in court yesterday for an alleged violation of the Edmunds law. The proof was insufficient, and the charge was dismissed. Annie, however, was tried on a charge of vagrancy and sent down for ninety days. Annie Flood, the keeper of the house, was charged with keeping a bawdy house, and v given ninety days. ‘aran Smith and Reheeca Tait, who were arrested in the same locality, were given one month each for vagrancy.

Mr. Justice Morris handed down an opin- ion in the Court of Appeals after the ad- journment of the court yesterday after- noon affirming the judgment of the court below in the case of Frederick R. Smith and Wm. C. Downey against Rufus K. Helphen- stine, where a verdict giving the plaintiffs $5,000 damages was returned against Mr. Helphenstine. Mr. Helphenstine in January, 1890, sold the Portland Flats drug store to Messrs. Smith and Downey for $14,000, he contract= ing that for the period of five years he would neither directly nor indirectly en- gage in the drug business in the city of ‘Washington within a radius of ten sauares of the Portland without first obtaining the written consent of the purchasers of his establishment. But it was claimed by the plaintiffs that in December, 1891, a drug store was opened in the Cochran Hotel, 1ith and K streets, within two blocks of the first named store, which was advertised to be conducted by Helphenstine & Cluss. The Helphenstine in the new firm, it ap- peared, was a son of the defendant, and it was claimed that the son was really the rep- resentative in the business of the father, and that the contract entered into between the elder Helphenstine and Messrs. Smith and Downey had, therefore, been violated. The lower court so found, awarding the plaintift 00 damages, and that judg- ment the Court of Appeals affirms. —_———__ Robberies Reported.
