Members of the fire department were called out three times yesterday because of slight fires, but they did not have much work to do. At the house of W. C. Nich- ols, No. 1728 Corcoran street, a coal oil lamp exploded. No. 9 engine company re- sponded to a local alarm and extinguished the flames. The loss amounted to only about $20. A wood fire, made in an open grate at the house of Mrs. Jennie B. Davenport, No. 1720 G street, started a blaze in the chimney. This caused sofne excitement in the neighborhood, but no damage was done. There was a slight fire in the house of Daniel Chambers, on 30th street, George- town, in the afternoon.: What caused the fre could not be ascertained. PUBLIC AND RAILROADS No Provision in the Pending Bill for Rapid-Transit in Anacostia—The Eckington Situation. Mr. T. P. Kane has written to Senator MeMillan, inclosin two petitions, contain- ing 10$ names of citizens of Washington, urging the passage of Senate bill No. 1886, requiring the Eckington and Soldiers’ Home Railway Company to adopt a modern motive power. He said: “I also inclose, as an indorsement of this bill, and of the po- sition assumed by these petitioners, a copy of an editorial on the subject, which ap- peared in The Evening Star yesterday Qlarch 27), to which I beg leave to invite your personal attention. In connection with this bill I do also desire to invite your at- tention to the statement published in the same edition of The Star, that the attor- ney for the District has just rendered an opinion to the Commissioners to the ef- fect that they have no authority of iaw to permit the Eckington and Soldiers’ Home Railway Company to substitute for the horses now used the compressed air motors, which the president of that com- Pany has indicated his desire’ to at once but on, ard that Congress alone can grant the company authority to equip its line with surface motors. Such being the case, the immediate passage of the bill above referred to will afford the company the relief and authority sought, because under its provisions they can use any ‘modern electric, cable, or other motive power as shall be approved by the Commissioners of the District of Columbia,’ except over- head appliances. It is to be hoped there- fore that the committee will promptly re- Port this bill in order that it may be en- acted into law before the adjournment of the present session, and relieve this com- Pany of its present embarrassment.” The Anacostia Railroad. Some comment has been caused by the fact that the Dill recently presented to the Senate at the request of President Griswold of the Anacostia Railway Com- pany, makes no definite provision for the substitution of rapid transit for horses on the line now existing in Anacostia, and this has raised the ouestion in the minds of some residents of that suburb whether this is the intention of the company. The express requirement as to the substitution of rapid trarsit methods applies directly only as to the city line, and the bill par- ticularly notes the commencement of this imprevement at the north abutment of the Navy Yard bridge. There is, in the second section, a positive requirement to substitute rapid transit on all “other lines or branches in the city of Washington,” but this, of course, does not apply to Ana- costia. The third section grants an exten- sion up lth street to Florida avenue, and in addition to this, falling within the des- ignation of “other branches,” there is a spe- elfic requirement that this line shall be “similarly” constructed. But there is noth- ing in the section which authorizes the ex- tension out E street extended te the Dis- trict linc that requires the use of rapid transit exept on such portion as may lie within the city limits. The section which applies directly to the Anacostia division of the road reads thus: “Upon the adop- tion of any approved modern system of transit, the said company shall immediate- ly proceed to construct, equip and operate that portion of its route from the Wash- ington end of of the Navy Yard bridge along Nichols avenue, past the Govern- ment Hospital for the Insane, to Congress Heights, and.to a point rear to or opposite the Giesbcro’ public school building; also from its tracks on Monroe street, at the corner of Harrison street. along said Har- rison street and the Good Hope road to a point near to or opposite Overlook Inn.” Doubtless the bill will be amended in committee, if it should receive favorable consideration, so as to supply these ap- parent omigsions, that may require specific provisions. Inadvertently The Star’s ac- count of the bill Thursday was erroneous in stating that five years were in all grant- ed by the measure for the adoption of rapid transit. As the bill itself stated there will be two years allowed for trials of various motors and one year additional for the installa- tion of an underground electric plant in case the experiments with motors should fail, thus making three years in all. ——-e—_ _ SUPREME COURT DECISIONS. Northerm Pacific and Great Northern Roads Cannot Combine. Justica Brown delivered the opinion of the Supreme Court in the cases of Thomas Pear- sall agt. the Great Northern railway and the Louisville and Nashville agt. Kentucky, as to the right of parallel and. competing railroad lines to consolidate, holding in the case of the Great Northern that it could not under its charter, and in opposition to the act of the Minnesota legislature of 1S74, be corsolidated with the Northern Pacific, as Was sought to be accomplished. Justices Fieid and Brewer dissented in this case. In the Kentucky case a like opinion was rendered as to the attempt to consolidate the Louisville and Nashville railroad with the Chesapeake and Ohio and Southwestern road. The opinion of the Kentucky court of appeals was affirmed, enjoining the con- solidation. Justice Shiras handed down the opinion of the Supreme Court today in the case of the Texas Pacific agt. the interstate com. merce commisssion, appealed from the cir- cult court of appeals for the second circuit, known as tke import rate case. The Su- Preme Court reverses the circuit court, which held that it was illegal to charge less on imported goods than on domestic articles. The effect of the opinion ‘is to coritinue the alleged discrimination in the interest of foreixn shippers. The Icng and short haul case involving the validity of the provision of the inter- state commerce act prohibiting a higher charge for a short than for.a long haul wes decided on appeal by the railroads frcm thé appeals court for the fifth circuit. ‘The ‘court below was affirmed In the main, ‘the opinion holding that.in cases of. ship- | ments from one state to another on through bills of lading railroad companies could not exempt parties and give them special rates. This opinion is a victory for the interstate commerce commission. cee ies The decision of the court below in-the case of Russ agt. Telfener, involving the title to 1,160,220 acres of land in El Paso cconty, Texas, was reversed, and the case remanded for a new trial.’ Justice Field read the opinion of the court in this case. - a THE STORY DENIED. Maxroyeni Bey Not to Be-Removea From. Washington as Minister, Mavroyeni Bey; the Turkish minister, yesterday received the following cable message from the Turkish minister of for- eign affairs: 2 he news telegraphed to the London Times regarding the Turkish legation of Washington, teing false, you may contra- dict it.” * Fi This metsage undcubtedly refers to the recent press dispatches from Constanti- nople to ihe effect that Mavroyeni Bey, the Turkish minister hese, and the secre- tary of the legation were to be re- called because of alleged displeasure with their course in the Armenian affair. It is so accepted at the legation, and properly so, inasmuch as it was in response to a tel- egram of inquiry as to the truth of the re- ports in question. ——————————aE FUNERAL OF MR.

CONCEALED WEAPONS. the Several Cases Tried Today, Police Court. There was more than one person in the Police Court today on a charge of concealed ‘weapons. One of the defendants was Jas. Martin, a contractor, who was arrested near Kelly’s store, on the Brightwood road, about 2 o'clock yesterday morning. The weapon in the case was an old-fashioned five-shoot- er, and was loaded. « Policeman Coffin arrested him. He was seated in a buggy, and was yery much un- der the influence of liquor. Rough usage had disabled the vehicle, and on the way to the station Martin attempted to disable Po- liceman Geaghen. He finally reached the Police station, and yesterday his friends de- posited $100 collateral for his appearance. Attorney S. T. Thomas appeared for the defendant this morning, and -was granted a postponement until Saturday. - Charles Banks, colored, a resident of Howardtown, who was half filled with liquor, and who had a bottle of the fluid in bis pocket, caused trouble in the Baptist Church, and ‘when he got outside he dis- chargeé a pistol and threw the weapon in a pcnd near the church. Charles claimed that the prosecution was all a mistake. “I only had a cigarette and firecracker,” he said, “and did not have a pistol.” A sentence of ninety days was imposed. Louis Blackeye, an Italian, was tried for carrying a razo:. He had trouble in Purdy’s court with another Italian named Louis Fcscu, and the latter charged that he drew a razor cn him. “Why did you have the razor?” he was asked. “J didn’t have one,” he said. carry a barber shop.” He was fined $% or sixty days. a MRS. BOOTH-TUCKER ARRIVES. “I don’t The New Salvation Army Commander Expected Wednesday. Mrs. Booth-Tucker, wife of the new com- mander of the Salvation Army in America, arriyed in New York Saturday. The meet- ings at the Salvation Army headquarters were crowded both in the day and evening by people anxlous to see and hear- Mrs. Tucker. Tney were, however, disappointed, as_she did. not attend any of the gather- ings. Many callers also inquired after her health during the day. She suffered greatly from seasickness on her voyage across the Atlantic, and this induced her to confine herself to her room all day yesterday. She denied herself to all who called, and it was said that she would not occupy herself with any official matters conducted with the army until after the arrival of her hus- band, who is due Wednesday. - Maj. Malan came Saturday from Eng- land, and will serve as ald-de-camp to Mr. Booth-Tucker. Maj. Malan is one of Gen. \Booth’s favorite officers, and will be re- membered as having accompanied the gen- eral when the latter visited this country last year. Commander Ballington Booth and Mrs. Booth passed the day auietly at their home in Montclair, preparing themselves for the meeting which will be held tofight in Phil- adelphia. In his address at this meeting Ballington Booth is expected to review the whole controversy which has arisen be- tween him and the Salvation Army, and to Make public for the first time some inter- esting incidents that led up to the split. THE DIV ISION CASES. Willie Gilmore Goes to the Hospital for the Present. Judge Miller's announcement in the case of Willie Gilmore Saturday of his deter- mination to impose jail sentences in the “Division” was a surprise to most of the Police, who thought a heavy fine would be imposed. And the defendant, “Willie” Gilmofe, was also very much surprised. | 4s published in Saturday's Star, she be- came hysterical when. she realized that, she would have to go to-jail, and phy- siclans were called. She soon revived and was able to go to her house and arrange matters, but Dr. Johnson said that the sending of her to jail at that time would in all probability have a serious effect on her phystcai condition, and Judge Miller directed that she be sent to Providence Hospital for treatment. Her stay in the hospital will avatl her nothing so far as the jail sentence is con- cerned, for this sentence will. not begin until she enters the prison. In addition to this sho must pay a fine of $50. The officers- of the first precinct are still looking for evidence of liquor law viola- tions, so they claim, and will make arrests for this offense. But concerning violations of the more serious offense they have noth- ing to say. It is the general opinion of the police that there should be a law enacted to put these houses under control of the authorities. The cases of Grace Ferguson and Lottie Tillford, whose houses were raided at the time of the Gilmore woman's arrest, are set for tomorrow. It is likely that if con- yicted they will be given a month absolute, for it is said no plea of illness can be set up’ in their cases. _ MONTGOMERY REPUBLICANS. Setting the Date for the Primaries This Year. Carresponderce of The Evening Star ROCKVILLE, Md., March 80, 1890. ‘The républican county committee meet- ing held here Saturday was a harmonious affair throughout, and would seem to show a better state of affairs existing in that party in the county than has prevailed for some years. It was decided to hold only one rset of primaries -this year, when delegates to’ a county tonvention will be elected. By this method the one county convention will eleet delegates to the state convention, to meet at Baltimore, April 22; delegates’ to the district convention, to meet at Hagers- town, April 15, and delegates to the con- gressional convention, to meet at Oakland, S¢ptember 9. The primaries were-set for Saturday, April 11, between 4 and .6 p.m., and the county convention at Rockville, April 13, at noon. ; ae ee Many active repub}cang were present at the meeting, and the question of the con- gressional nominatign was the main topic of conversation. -epublicans in Mont- gomery are a unit on the claim that their n tae nomination this evel, @ good-natured rivalry as to who should receive the county's indorsement.

Holy ‘Week and Its Services—Small Fire and Other Notes Inter- esting to Residents. : The locaf branch of the Asgociated Char- ities has been doing noble work in relieving the wants of the poor and needy of this section of the city. As much assistance as has been rendered, there is still plenty of work, and deserving people stand in need of donations not in the shape of fuel 60 much as in the shape of wearing apparel. Clothes are needed badly just at the pres- ent time, and those in control of the head- quarters of the aszoclation, on 3st street, have been unable to meet the demand. Clothing for boys ranging from six to four- teen years of age Is particularly needed by Rev. Dr. Smith and Secretary Davis, the heads of the local branch. One particularly needy case is that of a boy, fourteen years of age, whom Dr. Smith has secured employment, but who is unable to enter upon his duties on account of his unsatisfactory appearance. Holy Week. Holy week was ushered in at Trinity Church yesterday with appropriate ser- vices. The gospel of the day was rather long, and at the late mass was read in English by one of the students of George- town University. At the Sunday school mass the gospel was read in the same manner. Palm was distributed before the mass, and every one received a liberal sup- ply. On account of the length of the gos- pel no sermon was delivered. Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings the office of the tenebrae will be chanted, and ou the first two named evenings ser- mons will be delivered. Small Fire. An alarm of fire was twrned in yester- day afternoon shortly after 4 o'clock for a blaze in the residence of Daniel Cambers, colored, at 1075 20th street, to which the engines promptly responded. The blaze was extinguished after a small damage not exceeding $12, of which the houschold furniture suffered the greatest. ‘Che origin cf the fire is unknown, The dwelling is cwned by Goddard Bros., and 1uily in- sured. Real Estate. Ambrose L. Ogle has bought of Rozier H. Ogle et ux. part of lot 18%, of square 103, in Beatty and Hawkins’ addition. The consid+ration is placed at $400, Cornelia Hamilton has sold to Charles H. Marshall part of the northern outskirts of town described by metes and bounds. The consideration is unnamed, though the conveyancing is subject to a deed of trust. The property is lecated in what is now known as square 1261. | Notes. Mr. Henry M. Sweeney, the president of the Farmers and Mechanics’ National Bank, who has been suffering with an at- teck of acute indigestion, is reported to be much better. Mr. Ford of O street is lying seriously ill. There was a brilliant electrical display last evening on top of the electric light pole at the corner of 32d street and Prospect avenue, caused by the wear of the insula- tion. The electric light company was noti- fied and remedied the matter. Union services were held last evening at the West Street Presbyterian Church, in which Rev. Dr. Alexander, Rev. Dr. ‘Stitt of Dumbarton Avenue M. E. Church and Several other ministers pagticipated. ——_—_— SERIOUS CHARGE. Mrs. Link Arrested and Hela for Picking Pockets. Detective Rhodes and Policeman Schuyler of the first precinct “shadowed” a young woman for two hours Saturday afternoon, kecause they suspected that she was & professional at picking pockets, and about 6 o'clock, the hour many of the stores close for the week, they arrested her at 10th and F streets. The last place they saw her enter was the saloon at 10th and F streets. In there she got some oysters and a bottle of beer. When she came out the officers arrested her. Viola Link was the name she gave, and she sald she was the wife of J. R. Link, and had lived in Cin- cinnat!, Chicago and St. Louis, but that she really belongs in New York. She was ap— parently very much surprised at the action of the officers, claimed they had made a mistake and protested her innocence. She had been here for about six weeks, nad lived at 803 13th streef, but recently she and her husband have occupied rooms in the house of Maj. Pollard, 1308 H street northwest. . = Policeman Schuyler was first to receive & complaint of the woman's alleged mis- conduct at the Boston House. Mrs. Ben- gon of 215 East Capitol street, and Mrs. Fannie J. Hall of 717 Joth street, had been robbed in the store, the former of $12, and the latter of $5 and some little trinkets. She had in her purse a small sllver knife, some car tickets and a Brooklyn bridge. ticket. This latter ticket was torn in a peculiar way, and-both these articles, identified by Mrs. Hall, were found on Mrs. Link. The prisoner also had $16 in cash on her. This was In her glove, although she had two pocketbooks and a satchel with her. In following the woman the officers watched every movement she made. When in Kann’s store, corner of Sth and Market space, Detective Rhodes says he saw her put her hand in a lady’s pocket. He also saw her take the knife out of some paper and put it in her pocket book. A clerk in the Boston House remembered Mrs. Link’s visits to the toilet room, and the detectives charge that she then got rid of the pocket ‘books, m i While under arrest the woman had very | little to say, but her husband did consid- erable talking. They claim that they came hers from Cincinnati, and that the husband is looking for work. Bond was given, and she was released. Today the casp came. up before Judge Miller, the woman being charged with lar- ceny. from the person. Lawyer “Campbell Carrington, who ap- peared for her, entered a plea of not guilty and waived an examination.
