Senator Senator Platt, SSS Fictitious Foreign Estates, Much of the time of the State Depart- ment ts being consumed in answering in- quiries from persons in this country who have been led by unscrupulous persons to believe that they are heirs to vast es- tates in Europe. The latest additions to the “fraud list’ are the Jager and Fisher estates. So many persons have been duped into paying fees for prosecuting claims to inheritance under these titles that the Hamburg authorities have just made a thorough investigation, and United States Consul Robertson, at Hamburg, has trans- mitted the result to the Sti Department. & It proves that the “Yager, “Jager” or “Jael * estate, and the “Fisher” or “Fischer” estates are fictitious, and con- the District Commissioners from taking action upon a request by the Georgetown and Tenleytown Railroad Company that both companies be allowed to use the same tracks at 32d and P streets, and and O Streets, in Georgetown. * The petitioners state that two sets of tracks now exist at those places, but that by the act of August 2, 1894, the complain- ant company is required to make reciprocal track arrangements with connecting Lines, upon the completion of its cable system. All disputes are to be settled in the coyris, according to the same act. Last November, it is claimed, President Crosby of the Georgetown and Tenleytown line proposed to the Commissioners that both companies use the same tracks, with an eye eeemingly to the future pos: lity of an underground system introduced by is line. President Phillips of the complainant company opposed this, claiming that the former Commissioners had laid out the plan of the tracks, and they could not be moved without the consent of the Metro- politan company, and that tho placing of both lines on one set of tracks would ne- cessitate switches and consequent and fre- quent stoppages, extra switchmen, etc. Mr. Phillips also claimed that the locality was not enough used by the public as to cause inconvenience on account of two lines, but on the other hand the Metropolitan com- pany would be seriously inconvenienced, with its cars running so close upon each other, as was intended. Subsequently, it is said, the whole mat- ter was referred by the Commissioners to the attorney for the District, who held that the controversy was one for the courts to settle. Further correspondence was re- ferred to Capt. Fiebeger of the Engineer Commissioner's office, who agreed with the attorney. —_>» ___ Knew His Crow. * There are many roosters in Georgetown, but one of the fowls went on an excursion last week never to return. This particular fowl had u peculiar manner of crowing, which Herry N. Stokes of 8104 N street was able to distirguleh from the other roosters in the neighborhood. Robert 8. Chew, his next-door neighbor, owned this pet chicken, and when Mr. Stokes and his wie were kept awake at night he con- cluded to send the fowl to the country. lt appears that Mr. Stokes first complain- ed to Mr. Chew's servant about the noise. This Mr. Chew disliked, for he thought the complaint should have been made to him, Later be received a note about the early morning exercises of the chicken, and yes- terday he iearned that a warrant for his arrest had been issued, and this charged that the rooster's crowing and cackling had disturbed the peace of Mr. Stokes. The case came up before Judge Kimball this morning, and Mr. Stokes, speaking for his wife and himself, said they had been kept awake for hours by the noise of the rooster, “I've been kept awake for hours,” said Mr. Stokes, “by the crowing of rooste1 “There are other roosters in the alley,’ said Mr. Chew. “I know there are others there,” added Mr. Stokes, “but I've studied their voices and know the voice of Mr. Chew's rooster from the others.” As the ooster had been sent away, the court, as well as Mr. Stokes, was satisfied, and sentence in the case was suspended. —— Vestrymen Elected.
