AY, DECEMBER 17, 1896-14 PAGES. : ELECTRIC LIGHTING|MORE TERRITORY Court of Appeals Rafusos to Enjoin the Commissioners. RIGHT 70 CITY ° STREETS Justice Alvey Defines the Court's Position. a OWNERSHIP OF COMPANY The Court of Appeals today denied the application of the United States Electric Lighting Company for an appeal from the. decision of Judge Cole, rendered last month, in which Judge Cole refused to enjoin the District Commissioners from awarding a contract for electric lighting in the city east of Rock creek to the Potomac Elec- tric Power Company. Judge Cole also re- fused to enjoin the Commissioners from granting permits to the Potomac company for the necessary occupancy of the said territory. The United States company ap- Pealed to the Court of Appeals, asking that the appeal be allowed, and they also prayed the appellate court to issue a preliminary injunction pending its disposition of the application for the allowance of the appeal. The decision of the Court of Appeals was written by Mr. Chief Justice Alvey, who, spéaking for the court, says: “We have had occasion more than once to declare that the discretion conferred upon this court in the allowance of appeals under the provision of the statute of February %, 1808, fs not to be exercised in favor of al- lowing such appeals, except upon pressing emergency, and where serious injustice might be effected by the delay in getting an appeal to this court in regular course of proceeding. As declared by the statute, the party desiring the appeal must make it appear affirmatively that justice requires that the appeal should be allowed and that injustice will likely be done if the appeal is not at once allowed. Unless this be shown affirmatively there is no ground for the exercise of the discretion of the court nor for the departure from the regular and or- dinary proceeding in the prosecution of ap- peals from orders from which the right of appeals is given irrespective of the discre- tion of the court.” Right or Wrong. Referring to the relief soufit by the United States Company, Mr. Chief Justice Alvey says that the court cannot grant it, there being no practice or statutory power that woull allow an appellate court to grant a restraining order upon the defend- ants in the court below until the final de- termination of the case either in the court below oc the appellate court. The only question presented to the Court of Appeals was whether the court below was right or wrong in refusing to grant the injunction proyed for. If the complainant company had submitted the case upon bill and an- swer for final detcrmination and allowed the court to dispose of the case by decree dismissing the bill, as -would doubtlessly have been done, on the view entertained by the court, then the case would have been in a condition for an appeal to this court as a matter of right, and to the Su- preme Court of the United States vpon ad- verse decision. Regular Proceedings. The chief justice explains further that the case was not so disposed of below; that the bill is still pending there, and no decision by the Court of Appeals on the appeal now sought to be taken would be conclusive and prevent further litigation. “But,” says the chief justice, “apart from this view of the case the facts stated in the petition for the appeal utterly fail to show that the appeal prayed for is so f2r in the interest of justice as to require its imme- diate allowance. Without in the least inti- mating an opinion as to the legal rights as- serted by the petitioners we cannot full to observe that their right, claimed, 1s founded solely upon a mononcly in reapect to a matier committed to the administra- tive functions of the ae of th District, and which affects)\the public inter- est at large, and may affect it presudiciaily. “The applicants are not‘ dispossessed of any pessessory rights of property or any mere rights of easement in the streets of the city, and if the right to an exclusive mcnopely in the matter of lighting the streets be in the petitioners, for this ap- peal, as claimed by them, it is not per- ceived how the right will be to any extent defeated Ly the disallowance of the appeal prayed for; for if the claim made by the petitioners be a legal and exclusive one, as alleged, their rights will be ultimately de- clared by the ccurts, and they will not be prejudiced by what may be done in the meantime. Their rights, whatever they may be, will not be defeated or lessened by having to abide the ordinary procedure for their determination.” The Ownership of the Company. “There bas been in the past a great deal of unforrded speculation about the Po- tomac Light and Power Company and its ownership,” said a well-known local finan- cler today when the news of the decision of the Ccurt of Appeals was being dis- cussed on the street. “The declaration has been made that it is an alien, corporation, and its ownership has been variously cred- ited to the Cramps, to William C. Whitney and his associates, to the Westinghouse ple and others, but the fact is that the is very largely owned by Fred- Stevens, president of the West End National Bank, and who is largely inter- ested in a score of local enterprises, and cther Washington men. Its secretary and treasurer is Charles P. Williams, the cash- ier of the West End Bank. There is no doubt if the decision stands that the com- pany will start to work at once to extend its system wherever necessary for private cr public vses.” —>—__ SHOT SIXTY-ONE DUCKS. The President Had Better Luck Yes- terday. The President and party spent yesterday morning hunting ducks on the southern ex- tremity of South Island, near Georgetown, 8. C., their reward being 100 birds, of which the President brought down sixty-one. President Cleveland also joined a deer drive, but none of the hunters got a shot owing to the high water on the island. Better luck is anticipated, however, when they hunt on the mainland some time dur- ing the next few days. The tender Wis- taria brought the party from the island in the afternoon to the Annandale Club pre- serves, where she ran on a shoal. Big flocks of ducks have been flying into Mun- day bay, or the big marsh, where the party will shoot unti! they depart. It is tot definitely known when the President will leave, but Saturday is the time inti- mated. coo Georgia Justices Elected. An election was held in Georgia yesterday for four justices of the Supreme Court. ‘The democratic nominees,Samuel Lumpkin, W. A. Little, Andrew J. Cobb and W. H. Fish, were elected practically without op- positicn. A special election was held in the third congressional district to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Charles F. Crisp. [t resulted in the election of Charles R. Crisp, eldest son of the ex-Speaker. Young Mr. Crisp ancnunced: “{ am in favor of recog- nition of the independence of Cuba by the United States.” 3 -te+ The Senate Committee. There will be no hearing before the Sen- ate committee on the District of Columbia until after the Christmas holidays. There ig very little business before the committee that could be considered in hearings at thisearly day of the session, and only one apptication has yet been made for a henr- Ing on any case. This was on the bill sub- mitted to the committee and introduced in the Senate by Mr. McMillan providing for further restrictions in relation to the sa'e of milk in the District of Columbla, A hearing on this bill will probably be granted very shortly after Congress reassembles in the new year. ert es acre ea (Continued from First Page.)

Columbia. All that territory between the Chain bridge and the Aqueduct is extremely beautiful, and the drives there could be kept in splen- did condition’ with .very little additional expense, and they would be resorted to by many people from the District.” Senator Sherman Approves. Senator Sherman heartily approves of the Project to again include. within the District limits the territory. that ~was formerly a part of the seat of“government. When a Star reporter asked’ Senatof Sherman his views. on.this matter Mr..Sherman at once replied that he had long been of the opin- ion that the government never should have! ceded back that territory to the state of Virginia, and thet he had doubted its con- stitutionelity. Mr. Sherman referring to the Constitution read from the folowing section: “Congress authorized to exercise ex- clusive jurisdiction in all cases whatsoever in such District. not exceeding ten miles square as made by cession of the particu- lar site and acceptance by Congress to be- come the seat of gavernment of the United States, etc.” “No authority was-granted to Congress,” said Mr. Sherman, ‘to occupy some other site. The District of Columbia .was fixed by the Constitution. In my judgment Con- gress had no power to recede to the states any portion of the district set aside for the seat of government of the United States. But even if they had the power of cession they would have the same power to recede from the cessicn and restore to the Dis- trict of Columbia its:former beundary, not to exceed ten miles square. “I do not think the state of Virginia Weuld object to such action, as it would | certainly promote her interests by bring- irg about a large development of that re- gion of her state.” Mr. Sherman was of the opinion that a Ul should be introduced in Congress at ouce revoking the law which ceded back to Virginia that portion of the District of Co- lvmbia south of the Potomac river. As chairman of the Senate committee on the District of Columbia for a long time, Mr. Sherman naturally paid much attention to iccal affairs here, and it was in this way that he was called upon to look carefully into the question of the limits of the Dis- trict of Columbia. Senator Harrin’ Views. Mr. Harris, ‘chairman of the Senate ¢om- mittee previous to. the late reorganization of that body by the republicans, speaking to a Star reporter as to the propriety’! of making the limits of the District of Colum- bia extend over the territory they formerly included, said; et “Al things takem jnto consideration, 1 think it is the proyer thing to do.” When asked if ke thought of receding-to the state of Virginia ayportion of this terri- tory was unconstjtutignal, Mr. Harris re- + plied that he had mot; looked closely into that question, but he, was under the: im- ‘| pression that very probably a constitu-_ tfonal question was inwolved in it. To Forfeit ‘the Charter. Mr. Morgan introduced a bill in the Sen- ate today to amend section 1 of an act ap- Proved June 10, Is, »relating. to the Eck ington and Soldié¥s’ "Home railway, pro- viding? “That in default off the Eckington and Soldiers’ Home Railway Company and the Belt Railway Company to eonstruct and to put into full operation upon: all their lines in tl..city. of, Washington the underground electric system, ag nequiredwby ‘section 1/0f the act of June 10, 1808, chapter $95, all acts or parts of acts chartering sor extending’ said roads,.xespectively, be and the same are hereby repealed.” The failure of these companies. to give any indication to the public. that they pro- pose to carry out the provisions of the acts of Congress granting extension of their Ines is creating considerable hostility. to- ward the rads in Congress. A number of Senators and members feel that the ‘action of Congress has to a considerable extent been ignored by these roads, and there is not much belief that the terms of the act extending these roade will be complied with. Many members and Senators are de- termined-‘that Washington shall have a street railway service worthy of the city, and that if the acts of Congress are not complied with a severe penalty will be placed upon the road’s failure to comply with these acts. Colored People's Home. The Senate committee on education and labor today made a favorable report on Senator Thurston's bill to appropziate $100,000 for the construction of a home tor infirm colored people in Washing:on. A Three-Cent Fare. Mr. Pettigrew introduced a bill in the Senate today providing for a t fare on the railways of the District of Colum- bia. The bill provides that after the ist cf July, 1897, gll the street railways of the District of Columbia shall charge not more than 3 cents for each passenger and shall sell ten tickets for not more than 25 cen:s. —___—_-e—___— PUSHING H. CLAY EVANs. Tennessee Republicans Want Him in Maj. McKinley's Cabinet. The republicans of the Tennessee delega- tion in Congress will hold a meeting in a short time for the purpose of taking action which will push the chances of H. Clay Evans of their state for a cabinet position. They agreed to this some time ago, end are anxious to do all in their power for the man who stands at the head of. their party in Tennessee. “I. beleve Mr, Evens will go into the cabinet,” said Hepresentative Gibson to a Star reporter t! morning. “Ninety-nine one-hundredths of the republicans of my state want him-in the cabinet and believe he will be appointed. The opposition..to him makes up a mighty small squad. It is natural that jealousies should be engender- ed, but almost without exception Tennessee is for Evans for anything, He towers head and shoulders above any of the other men who have been potions for a cabinet place’ from the gout!
