As one of that peculiar pumber—peculiar on aceount of the recent order extending the civil service, placing a large number of employes under that ser- vice that have heretofore been the prey of the spoilsman, which seems to leave the laborer “in the cold’’"—I am on the roll as a laborer, but have been doing “messenger duty” since the date of my appointment, receiving only the pay of laborer. Under present conditions, I would suggest that to make things equal, let those who are employed as laborers and are detailed to do “messenger,” ‘“‘flreman,” or other duties above the grade of the ordinary laborer, be known as skilled or professional laborers, and be subjected to such an examination as would be suitable to the position, which many would pass with credit. I know laborers doing “messenger duty” as capable as those messengers who re- ceive $900 to $1,200.

The institu- tion is located at 34]6 M street, In the old Taylor mansion, one of the finest finished in town, and will be a home for working boys. Invitations were extended to all of the Episcopal clergy in the city to be present at the dedicatory ceremonies, and many responded. The new home will be run by the Broth- ers of Nazareth, this being the first appear- ance of the order in this city. The order was founded about ten years ago in New York city by Father Huntington, O, H. C., a son of Bishop Huntington, and Brother Gilbert, who is now superior of the orde The brothers of the new home came direct to ime charge of the new home. The building selected for the home is one of the old landmarks of town, though it not been occupied for nearly twenty y . It is a threé-story house, with basement in front, while in the rear it is five stories igh, ‘The outside Is fin je with shed in great s brown e balconies and heavy stairway of the same mate with white marble coping. The cornice of the house is a large frieze, which extends all around the building. The interior of the place is roomy and elaborately fitted up. In most all of the rooms there are beautifully white marble mantels, which look as when first plaeed in position; the are high, and around the walls of the parlor are elaborate border designs in relief. Tins style of border was in every front room of the house, but in the upper floors the designs had crumbled away and could not be replaced. The house was erected before the war by Vincent Taylor of one of the leading fam- ili He ran a large flouring mill on the south side of the canal, and contemplated connecting his residence with this. by large ornamental bridge, when his death ccurred. He left a widow and five chil- three of whom were boys. The buys Tan away at the outbreak of the war and jcined the southern army, though the youngest was brought back home on a count of his age. During the the widow went to Philadelphia, though later she returned to her family home. The property was bonght in about three years ago by B. H. Warder, and through his benevolence the place has been pape ed throughout and painted. The institution is designed to furnish a keme for working boys, and accommod tions will be provided for forty or fifty youths. The home will be in charge of Lrother Gilbert, and Brother cured for hom boys, whose sy and physical ne vill be looked after. The upper floors will be turned into dorm tories, and already a dozen little iron cot! with spotless white spreads, are in posi- tion.

There is such a continual jam in the vicinity of the Aqueduct bridge that team- sters and haulers of produce from the out- lying counties complain that they exper- fence great difficulty in-making their way through safely. This, coupled with the very bad condition of ¢ Canal road, makes the western entrance ond exit into and from town a performance attended with Inconventence an‘ risk. This condition of things emphasizes the great need of the extension of at least another of the Georgetown strects west- ward. The opening af Prospect avenue would greatly relieve the present jam. At this time there are but two entrances from the west, the Canal and New Cut roads— fully a mile apart. Real Extate. Clarence A. Brandenburg has sold to George S.

ALL DELAY REFUSED Ford’s Trial for Elsie Kreglo’s Mur- der to Go on Monday. APPLICATION REFUSED PRISONER'S His Counsel Appeal to the Court in Vain. —as THE MURDERER’S FATHER The expected motion for a postpone- ment of the trial of Irving Ford, the mur- dersr of Elsie Kreglo, was made this morn- ing by Messrs. Arthur Peter and R. New- ton Donaldson, the young attorneys as- signed by Judge Cole to defend him. The motion, however, was opposed by District Attorney Birney, and Judge Cole refused to grant it, holding that no good reason was giver? for the desired delay—that of two weeks—and directing that the trial proceed before him next Monday morning. In anticipation of the motion being made this morning, quite a large crowd gathered in the court room, many being under the impression that Ford would be present. The prisoner, however, was not brought up from jail, much to the disappointment of the crowd. The motion was submitted in writing to the court by Mr. Peter, and requested Judge Cole to postpone the trial for two weeks from Monday next, for the following reason: That owing to the short- ness of the time between the d counsel and day assigned for the trial, sufticient opportunity would be prisoner or his counsel to prep fense. In the motion was an ailidavit of the defendant's counsel to the fect that it was not made for the purpose of mere delay. Mr. Peter said that not unti! Tuesday af- ternoon were they assigned to the defense, and since then their other engagements had been such as to prevent them from even seeing the prisoner. The motion was not made for mere delay, but solely because they felt that in the short intervening Ume they could not fitly prepare to defend a man whose lite is at issue. In the Schneider case, where the defendant had both friends and money, three weeks intervened between his arraignment and trial, while in the case of Mord but a week was given the man. His counsel know absolutely nothing mor about the case than what they have le ed in the news} 3. ‘The man has funds, and it appears few, if any, f but it ts to be at least gupposed he has some sort of a defense, Yet, his counsel honestly believe that they cannot pi it in the time re thre no tends, they had, therefore, asked for more. There will mueh hnical evi- dence in the : i that is another rea- son, thovght Mr. 1% why the short tim asked for should be granted. Mr. Birne Opposes. In opposing the motion, District Attorney Pirney remarked that, while it is of the ut- most Importance that Ford shoul have a fair and early trial, it is equally important to the community that there shall be no unnecessary delay in the trial. The court could not ignore the horrible details of the alleged crime any more t community, or the ne i speedy trial and conviction an And the court could not shut its the fact that Ford, without an: whatever, had voluntarily confe guilt in open court when arraigne on the indictment last Monday. lea the court had mercifully set aside, that the man might be given a fair trial. Had an: good reason for the postponement been given he would not oppose it, but none had been given. Therefore, he protested agains any delay whatever. In the Schneider case trial was post cause of other doa few days only gagements of the anan’s counsel. While he oppcsed any dela’ Mr. said that he will afford the pris- oner's counsel every opportunity for his ‘ e in his power, and will place before m all th facts known to the govern- ment which may in any way avail them Mr. Donaldson thought that the mere act that Ford pleaded guilty should have no effect upon the court in disposing of the motion. He spoke of the inexy youth himself and associ, of the many technical points in th which, he t willarise during the trial, and carnestly pleaded for the delay asked for. Refused. that had he held ability of either Mr. Peter oz Mr. Donaldson, he ver would not ha them to the ease. “But, your honor,” replied Mr. Donald- son, “we do not as yet know a thing about the case, and it certainly seems to us that if we are to make any se at all two weeks’ time is little enough in which to prepare it, especially when we have had no time to consult with either the prisoner or with his friends.’ “The place where Wige Cole remar! doubt as to the the man lived and where his friends live is easily accessible, is it not?” inquired Judge Cole. Mr. Peter said that it is eight miles out in Maryland, and not easily accessible, while Mr. Birney thought differently. “I think you‘will have no difficulty in getting at the prisoner's relatives and friends," remarked Judge Cole, “and they will render you all the assistance possible. Three questions, I apprehend, will rise in the case—the identity of the man, his al- leged confession, and, I*imagine, his men- tal responsibility. We will, I think, expe- rence some difficulty in getting a jury, and may not get one before Tuesday afternoon. . by the time the government con- s its evidence, a day or two later, -cssibly, you will have had sufficient time curing which to svfficiently prepare to neet the government’s case, if at all. I certainly see no reason in the motion for granting any postponement, nor has any sufficient showing been made in the re- marks of counsel. If I thought differently I would grant a postponement of perhaps a week, but I see nothing now to justify the slightest dela and the trial must, therefore, proceed next Monday morning. The prisoner’s counsel then asked for @ week's delay, and when Judge Cole shook his head for a postponement from Monday to Wednesday of next week, but the judge nee and | s ELS-NAPTHA SOAP cleans, (At Grocers.)

The reported disappearance of Richard Ford, father of the murderer, 1as n the police no uneasiness, nor are any of them losing any time in an effort to locate him.
