Te the Editor of The Evening Stai Your late reference editorially and in the news columns of The Star to the “market house races,” to wit, the wild rush of farm-j ers’ and hucksters’ wagons for place on the curb south of the Center Market at 4 p.m. the day before market day, warrants some observations by one who has at intervais for twenty years endeavored to have t Lusiness regulated upon com.non se lines and in the interests of the patrons of these farmers. In what direction does the public interest lie? Does the public interest require that the space clong the curb on both the north and south sides of the street should be left a free-for-all grab on the stroke of the 2 Mest certainly the public interest the present practice. what is needed is that > ecntrar; genuine farme . free of any ch curb, each s rge ifie space ce marked with a number, and the farmer to have a ticket for that aumber, and to have the right of eccupyimg it on ‘condition ot being in the e by a certa er and 5 0 y, 6 o'clock a.m lock immer. k what interest the pub- aving a regular swer: In no : - a reasonable chance fresh farm and garden produce. ne present system, or no In the summer Season there more farmers than eligible many of them are forced to r loads early in the morning of | ore market day.

Nothing less than a lot of stale and withered vegcetailes, gath- ered almost twenty-four hours before be- ing offered for sale. Now, one doesn’t need to be a farmer to know that in hot weather crispness and freshness in any vegetable or fruit Is its most destrable quality.

TO SHOOT FOR GLORY AND PRIZES Crack Marksmen From Several States Will Be There. PERSONNEL OF THE PARTY The entire District of Columbia National Guard,to say nothing of residents of Wash- ington generally, will be deeply interested in the progress of the representative teams from this cliy In the sixth annual rifle com- petition under the auspices of the New Jer- sey State Rifle Association, next week at Sea Girt, N. J. The District in past years has accomplished great things in the way of rifle shooting, and last September won the*most tmportant match at Sea Girt— that for the Hilton trophy—with a score that shattered the world’s record. During the coming meet, however, the local sharp- shooters will find it necessary to battle right royally, for in the list of competitors are teams that have been diligently at work since early spring, spurred on by a@ determination to capture the coveted Hil- ton shield if such lies within the range of There seems to be no doubt the coming matches will be the most spirited in the history of the association The District detachment which is to le: the city to morrow will inelude, in addition to the brigade teams, three regimental teams, at ieast five company teams and a large number of guardsmen, the latter tak- ing the trip as individuals. The many ies who are also going will make their headquarters at Asbury Park, which is but a few miles north of Sea Girt. The Dis- trict detachment has always been referr: to by the otners at Sea Girt as “that Wash- ington army,” but this year it will far sur- pass in numbers the represeniation of any one year in the past. Cirenlar of Instructions. A copy of the following circular of in- structions has been forwarded to every member of the detachment by Major Geo. H. Harries, inspector general of rifle prac- tice and captain of the brigade team: “The detachment of the District of Co- Inmb tionz] Guard ordered to the en- mpment at Sea Girt, N.

Shooting blouses will not be worn, but will be shipped with the baggage.

Extra guns—whether the property of the District National Guard or of individuals—will be bexed and will be taken on the same train as the detachment. All extra guns mu: be in the armorer’s room at the brigade armory before 8 p.m., Friday, August 23. Wiping rods will not be furnished by the ordnance officer. “Railroad tickets for persons not mem- bers of the brigade or regimental teams may be had of Capt. H. H.

It appears that the 2d Regiment is not satisfied with three rifle teams in the Sea Girt competitions—one each from the regi- ment and Company A and Company B, 6th Battalion—but has at the last moment de- cided to send a team to be known as team No. 2 of the 2d Regiment.

District National Guardsmen generally will be glad to learn that one of the world’s noted shots with a rifle has moved his family and effects here, and will hereafter be a resident of Washington. It is perhaps needless te say that with its usual enter- prise Company A, Engineer Corps, has al- ready captured the prize, enlisting the new- comer before he had been within the limits of the District an hour. This person is Mr. W. Milton Farrell, a celebrated international shot, who has been abroad several times to engage in rifle con- tests. He ts a gunmaker by profession, and until a few days ago resided at Mor- gantown, W. Va. It is not improbable that his face will be seen in the ranks of the brigade team of 1897. A Borrowed Bullet. An interesting anecdote is recalled by the coming of Mr. Farrell. Several years ago he was a member of an American team that journeyed to France and en- gaged in a contest with a team of French- men. At an exciting stage of the maich the American ammunition gave out, and Mr. rrell borrowed a bullet from his epponents. The caliber was entirely too large for the American rifle, but Mr. Far- with a penknife, promptly whittled the ball of lead to the proper size, rammed in the necessary powder and apoarently without effort scored eye. This proceeding caused the French- men to open their eyes with astonishment. Nationnl Guard Notes. Captain J. M. Pollard has ordered the following promotions in Company A, En- Bineer Corps: Private S. I. Scott, to be sergeant; Private George Cook, to be cor- poral; Private E. W. Scott, to be corporal, and Private S. B. Wetherald, to be cor- poral. Those mentioned are all members of the brigade team. G. H. T. Lang, Company B, 6th Battalion, has heen transferred to the non-commis- siored staff of the Engineer Corps. It is understood that he will be appointed quar- termaster sergeant. ‘The following have been honorably dis- charged on their own applications: Pri F. H.

Bowler in bonds of $250 for making threats against his wife. The counsel for Bewier held that the man was aggravated by the conduct of his wife and wes driven to making the threats. Two young colored men, Geo. Burnett and Frederick Burgess, fast friends for years, had a drunken row not long 1g0 and as a result Burgess was a defendant in the Police Court today charged with cutting the other. His friend did not de- sire to prosecute and the counsel for both asked that a small fine be imposcd. Judge Mills made it $20 or sixty days. Mrs. Barowitzky complained that her husband had struck her and knocked her down. Her husband had first insulted her and then threw her out in the yard. The testimony was delivered in German through the aid of an interpreter, and Mrs. Barow- itzky denied she had first threatened to throw a fiat iron at her husband. Mr. Barowltzky told of the troubles in his househol!. On the day of the alleged assault his wife had spat at him and he put her out of the door. A witness testified that Mrs. Barowitzky had thrown a small stone at her husband. Mr. Barowitzky was given the lowest fine, $5. —_ Proposed Legislative Council. Mr. E. M. Blake, chairman of the legisla- tive committee of the Federation of Labor, today mailed invitations to the secret.ries of all the citizens’ associations in the Dis- trict of Columbia, asking that each body take steps to appoint a committee to con- fer with a similar committee on the part of the local federation to assist in the or- genization of a legislative council, whose duty it will be to look after matters of public interest which it 1s proposed to bring before Congress hereafter. —_- Young Brownlow’s Injuries. W. G. Brownlow, son of Col. John B. Brownlow, who was injured a few days ago by the premature discharge of his gun while hunting near Elizabethton, Tenn., where he and his mother were spending the sum- mer, was brought to Washington yester- day by his mother, and subsequently taken to Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore. The shot carried away the larger portion of his right ear. An endeavor will be made to repair the loss of the ear by a new cne. =a eS Elected Lecturer.

It is evident that the question of the right of the District Commissioners to per- mit the construction of an overhead trolley on the Navy Yard bridge has challenged the attention of those who were interested in framing the law that is now under scru- tiny, namely, the act amending the char- ter of tho Capital Railway Company, pass- ed at the last session of Congress. Since the publication of the facts relating to the application of the company’s representa tive for this privilege, the decision cf the Commissioners to grant the permit and the discovery of precedents relating to the question of the geographical limit of the city, which seems to be the real point at esue in the whole matter, The Star has received a communication from the clerk of the Senate District committee, Mr. Charies Moore, who has been summering at Harwich Port, Mass. The b:ll in question originated in the Senate and was practically prepared un- der the direct supervision of the clerk of the Senate District committee, who is therefore well acquainted with he rea- sons that actuated the committee in deal- ing with this subject. After noting the fact that he had observed the publications mentioned and saying that the statements contained in The Star of August 18 re- lating to the intention of Congress in this enactment were correct, Mr. Moore says: The Committce’s Intention. “The intention of the Senate . District ecmmittee was to keep the trolley off the Navy Yard bridge. For several months the fact that a trolley on the bridge centemplated prevented any action wha ever on the bill, Later the president of the Metropolitan railway said that he had ex- amined the bridge with the engineer of the company, and that an underground syste Was feasible and that his company was ready to build such a line. Mr. Raaite (epresenting the Capital Railway Com- pany), however, desired to have the option of using horses on the bridge in case the underground system could not be made to work. “The bill was drawn so as to provide for the three portions of the line: For Ana- costia, the overhead trolley; for Washing- ton, the underground system; for the Navy Yard bridge, citner the underground sy: tem or horses, in the discretion of the missioners, ‘The Capital company 1s allo} ed to carry its electric current across the bridge, under the supervision of the Com- missioners, so as to avoid having to main- tain two power houses. The interpreta- tion given by ‘The Star is the natural cn and I do not see how the language of the statute can be construed to authorize the very thing that it aimed to prevent.” - VANIA PENN ROAD SUED. Taken Into Court on Account of the Summit Branch, Considerable surprise has been occasion- ed in raltroad circles here by the news that the Pennsylvania Raflroad Company has been summoned into court as a defendant at Harrisburg, Pa. According to the infor- on given last evening to a Star report- er, Mr. Arthur E. Jones of Boston, who owns 500 shares of stock of the Summit Branch Railrcad Company, has entered suit against the Pennsylvania Railroad Company as a corporation and George B. Roberts as president, Isaac J. Wistar as vice’ president, and A. J. Cassatt, N. Par- ker Shortridge, William J. Howard, Amos R. Little, Henry b. Welsh, Samuel Rea, William H. West and George F. Swift as directors. Some time ago the persons above named entered a judgment against the Sumunit Branch company for almost $10,000, with interest for a considerable time, and Mr. Jones claims that the Pennsylvania »Rail- road Company is about to practically take possession of the entire-assets of the Sum- mit Branch road by making sale of the property of that . Which consists. be- shies the road and its equipment, of 5,400 acres of the most valuaple coal land in Pennsylvania. According to the latest re- ports published in the Financial Chronicle, the Pennsylvania Railroad Company is the owner of 43,804 shares of the capital stock of the Summit Branch company, the toial being $0,200 shares, and in consequence of this, has for many years selected the mem- bers of the board of directors of that com- pany. The issue of bonds, all of which are outstanding, amounts to $1,087,000, and of these the Pennsylvania company holds nearly one-half. The Summit Branch road extends from Williamstown to Millersburg. It 1s a very important link of the Pennsylvania system, and almost its entire business is mining and carrying coal from the mines at Ly- kens and through the celebrated Lykens Valley to Washington, Baltimore, New York, Boston, and other points of more or less importance, over the Summit Branch road, and Northern Central railway, which operates it under the direction of the Penn- sylvania company. These shipments are regarded as a part of the regular business of the Pennsylvania company, and amount to nearly 12 per cent of its anthracite coal traffic. A Surprising Charge. But the surprising charge 1s made by Mr. Jones in his petition entering the suit that “for the purpose of concealing the price received for transportation and for coal sold by the Summit Branch company, the officers of the Pennsylvania company have made false returns to the stockholders of the former company.” After a long recital of alleged facts in the bill filed, Mr. Jones asked that a receiver for the Summit Branch road be appointed until an ej ‘tion for officers can be held; that an netion be issued to prevent those named in the bill from acting es directors of the company; that the Penn- sylvania Railroad Company be enjoined from participating in the election; that the Pennsylvania company account to the re- ceiver for the profits made by it out of the mines; that the Pennsylvania company be enjoined from directing the trustees under the mortgage made by the Summit Branch company, to proceed thereunder, and from enforcing the bonds held by it against the Summit Branch, and that the Pennsylvania company be enjoined from issuing any exe- cution or otherwise proceeding to enforce the judgment obtained by it against the Summit Branch company.
