The property owners whose land abuts 16th street extended called upon the Com- missioners this morning with reference to the widening and opening of that street. In the plan for the extensfon of streets 16th street is put down as 160 feet wide and ex- tended to the District line in a practically straight direction. Unlike any other street, the property owners whose land abuts on that street have signified their willingness of donating without cost to the District the necessary land to bring about a compltance with the street extension plan. Last year @ petition to this effect was signed by the property owners, but the petition stipulated s0 many things that were to be done by the District and Congress that the Commis- sioners did not look with favor upon the Proposition. This year, however, the owners are will- ing to donate their land with only the pro- vision that the street be immediately opened and that the work of grading and macadamizing be done without cost to them. Messrs. Thomas Blagden, W. V. Cox and Blair Lee spoke in favor of the proposition. Commissioner Ross assured the committee that the Commissioners would estimate for the opening and widening of the street under the amended condition: —_——__ Marriage Licenses.

POLICE DISTRIBUTING FOOD Cases of Distress Reported to the Associated Charities. CENTRAL UNION MISSION Early this morning, when a heavy snow storm seemed a probability, sadness filled the hearts of hundreds of poor people who depend for their fuel upon the ash heaps and piles of refuse. It was true that a downfall of snow would mean work for maay men, and in this way many families might get assistance. It was also true that many families of women and children had no member able to join the shoveling brigede, so that for them snow would mean only an increase of their sufferings. Scores of people of this class were among the early callers at the several police stations this morning, and scores of others who wanted food as well as fuel called. The announcement made in yesterday's Star that several hundred loaves of bread, as well as some provisions, had been donated to the police for the poor had the effect of starting out women and children with baskets. Many of the baskets were filled as they had not been filled for weeks be- fore. The condition of many of the little ones who had baskets larger than them- selves was pitiful in the extreme. There was evidence of a great need for shoes and stockings, as well as other garments. Some of the children were fairly barefooted, while some wore thin calico slips without a sign of a coat or woolen garment to keep out the cold. The same was true of many of the women who were begging for food for their children and themselves. The Police Allowance. Yesterday the police eutenants had an allowance of $10 ‘each for distribution among the poor in addition to some fuel and a small quantity of provisions. To- day a simiiar allowance was made. “This money,” said one of the lieuten- ante, “will not go very far, but it will en- able us to give immediate relief in some ot the more urgent cases.” Chief Clerk Sylvester, who has charge of the poor fund of the department, has been receiving requests all day. In many cases the applications come by mail from sick people who are unable to leave their houses, and in such cases an officer is sent to the house without delay, so that any suffering one may be relieved in short order. Today's Applicant ‘The first caller this morning was an el- derly woman who looked as if she were well off so far as this world’s goods are concerned, but she said she was poor and wanted assistance. One of the clerks in the office was called to record her request, and when he came to ask her name she objected. She also objected to giving her residence, saying she was told that she could get an order for assistance without making her identity known. But as all applications have to be investigated her request could not be granted. Soon after- ward. another woman called. Although rot quite so prosperous looking, she was neat and clean, and showed that she was perhaps worthy. Chief Clerk Sylvester had her case investigated before, and knowing her to be worthy, gave her relief. Her good fortune was more than she had ex- pected, and although completely overcome, she managed to say, “God bless you, Mr. Sylvester,” before she left. Seventeen persons were sent to the differ- ent hospitals yesterday, and several were sent this morning. Donations Received. Maj. Moore has received additional dona- tions for the poor as follows: Private Sul- livan, first precinct, %# loaves of bread; lot groceries from Pennsylvania avenue mer- chant; division 19. patent office, 200 loaves of bread; R.

The managers of the institution have had to lisien to many stories of dis- tress without means to give relief. At a meeting of the board of directors last even- ing it was decided io issu2 an appeal to the Christian public, and the following was issued: “Great destitution and consequent suffer- ing prevails among the poor of this com- munity, for the relief of which no ade- quate provision appears to have been made. Our missicn has been besieged for days past by women and children who, with tears, have plead for food, clothing and fuel. Hunger and celd threaten many of our fellow-citizens with sickness and per- haps death. Without means to provide for these pressing needs, and yet conscious of the urgent demand for succor and help, we confidently appeal to a generous public for funds for supplies of food, for ciothing and for bedding with which to Telleve this dis- tress. We call upon all whom God has prospered to contribute according to their means and the necessities of the case. All receipts will be acknowledged through the Press, and a record of all cases investigated and relieved be k2pi for inspection. Checks may be made payable to order of J. C. Pratt, treasurer, und mailed to the C ‘tral Union Mission. “The distribution will be made to deserv- ing families after investigation Ly ihe voluntary workers of the mission, and no part of the fund will be required for cx. penses.”’ The appeal is signed by E.

Receipts during the past few days have made it possible to keep families where there fs sickness or little children warm and fed. No severely destitute case has falled to receive relief. A great many applicants are colored people, and not few are able-bodied ‘and anxious to work. But it seems harder to get work than coal and food. n not a few cases it is found fro: to day that applicants are from inateone try and have homes there where they be- long. One boy today had to admit, under cross-questioning, that he had a place in Maryland, where he got $12 a month and board in summer, and his board and $3 a month in money during the winter, but he had come here to do better. Another case was a woman who said her husband was earning about $$ a week by piece work in a shop. She said they had one child, but could not live on thefr income.

What He Said Today to'a Comniittee of Workingmén. The committee appointed: at last even- ing’s meeting of the Building ‘Trades Coun- cil to call on Senator Sherrhan in reference to the much talked of coritract for some houses in Northeast Washington, visited the Capitol today and had 2n interview with Mr. Sherman ofi the stibjéct. The s ator stated that he had re-elved a letter from the Bricklayers’ and Masons’ Interna- tional Union regarding. th¢. matter, and that he had replied telling ;them that the contract having been let, the subject was beyerd hig control; that hg could not, an- nul it; that Mr. Schifeider,, his archi’ had attended to the matter of,’awarding the contract; that he knew pone of the Parties to the contract. and simply signed the papers after their preparation, and when they were laid before him. He precumed, he said, that Mr. Schneider was well disposed toward union workers and it did not occur to him that any diff- culties would take place. Personally, he said, he favored paying the laborer’ the highest rate of wages, particularly brick- layers, who, being outside workmen, as a matter of necessity, were compelled to lose much time. He regretted that there had been any trouble in giving out the con- tract. Being requested to do so by the commit- tee he said he would see Mr. Schneider relative to the matter. Mr. Sherman said further that believing there was a demand for the class of houses which he was about to construct, and hav- ing some available funds, he decided to in- vest it at this time, and thus.benefit some of the werking people, and that he desired that a good rate of wages be paid to those employed on the houses. He also corrected a statement, which, he said, he saw puo- lished, that he contemplated building thir- ty-four houses in the near future, as he had no intention of doing so. —— Hotel Arrivals.

CONTROLLER BOWLER’S RULING Contracts for Inauguration Work Nearly Ready’ for Signing. aoe ORGANIZATIONS COMING sc SAE ES Chairman Bell has been busily engaged teday, as he nas been every day this week, examining the contracts to be entered into for the performance af the work in connec tion with the inauguration ceremonies, and it is expected that all these agreements will be signed before the executive committee meeting Saturday right. The contracts for the erection of the viewing stands on the park ®and reservations will await the action 0: Congress giving permission for the use of these piaces for that purpose. Gen. Horace Porter, grand marshal of the inauguration parade, with his chief aid, Mr. A. Noel Blakeman, arrived in the city last night, and was early at headquarters. Gen. Porter remained only a short time, going almost immediately after his arrival to see Secretary Francis in relation to the participation of Indians in the parade, and frcm there to the Capitol to endeavor to have the necessary legislation for inaugural purposes put in shape for early passage. The coming of the West Point Cadets is @ question that {s interesting Gen. Porter very deeply, as well as the members of the Inaugural executive committee. It appears that while the War Depart- ment Is perfectly willing for the cadets to come, a snag has been siruck in the person of Controller Bowler of the Treasury De- partment, who has decided that the cadets cannot be subsisted at the expense of the government outside of the reservation at West Point. Therefore Congress was asked to provide for the food and lodging of the cadets while in Washington. The Senate today, however, refused to adopt the amendment to military academy appropriation bill providing for the visit of the cadets to Washington during the inau- guration, and now nothing remains to be done except for the citizens of Washington to become their hosts and take upon them- selves the entertainment of the popular young men. There is no doubt that there will be a general acquiescence in this propo- sition, because when Controller Bowler's decision was anonunced and the opposition in the Senate became known the suggestion of bringing the cadets as guests of the city was made and met with wide approval. There are many gentlemen ready and willing to irvite the cadets to be the guests of Washington during the in- avgur::tion trip, so their coming is as- sured, even if the government they are being educated to serve fails to show proper appreciation of them. It is general- ly admitted that the presence of the cadets will not only be one of the most attractive features of the parade, but also that their attendance at the ball will add brilliancy to the social features of that occasion, and the desirability of thelr coming in many ways is so great that nothing will be allowed to prevent it. In Attractive Uniforms. The Frelinghuysen Lancers of Newark. N. J., will have three companies, under command of Major W. L. Fish, in line on inavguration day. The uniform will con- sist of double-breasted white broadcloth coats, cadet blue trousers, white duck hel- mets. The officers will carry swords and the privates nickel lances, with red staffs. The number of men will be 150, with the First Regiment Drum Corps. The First Ward M. S. Quay Club of Phil- adelphia will have 100 or more men and a band in line, under command of Johu Fin- ley. They will wear light overcoats, black suits and high silk hats. The club will oc- cupy Pullman cars on the Baltimore and Ohio tracks during its stay here. The Stamina Republican League of Cin- cinnati will bring 4¢0 men to participate in the parade. ‘The uniform will be silk hats, black mackintoshes, with capes, lined with wine-colored silk and thrown back, dark trou ark red gioves, and canes. Tie league will be headed by a military band of thirty-five pieces. It will occupy sleeping cars while in Washington. Capt. Alva 8. Taber has been added to the finance committee in place of the late Capt. George E. Lemon. Chairman Edward McCauley of the floor and promenade committee, Dr. F. T. Howe, vice chairman of the music committee, and Mr. Will A. Haley, leader of the inaugurai ball orchestra, had a consultation today over the musical program to be arranged for the ball. 3 Col. Russell, assistant adjutant general of the Kentucky State National Guard, was et headquarters this morning, arranging tor the accommodations for the Kentucky representatives in the parade. He thought 300 men would come as an escort to Gov. Bradley and his staff. ——— TAKEN TO THE STATION. Miss Kimball is C ‘wed With False Pretensen. When Miss Annie Kimball learns that Detectives Carter and Gallaher recorded her age as fifty years at police headquar- ters today she will no doubt want to enter a vigorous complaint against them. She made a strong objection when asked to step in the patrol wagon and ride to the first police station, where ske was to be detained as a prisoner on a charge of false pretenses. Her objection to this way of reaching the police station was soon over- ruled, however, and she was driven behind the fast horse to Lieutenant Amiss’ sta- ticn, where she was favored with a room on the second floor instead of being put in a cell in the room, where it is too dark to see to read without the assistance of a gas light. Annie Kimball, as she is known, is said to be a New Yorker, and she dresses well. While her age was put down as fifty, the officers have an idea that she has passe! the half hundred limit, but just how much they do not know. Her errest was made on a charge of false pretenses, filed by Mrs. Al. Louise Hen- dricks, a milliner, at 821 17th street north- west. This warrant charges that she ob- tained three hats, worth $36, by represent- ing herself to be one of the beneficiaries of the estate of the late Capt. George E. Lemon. The fair prisoner lived in New York up to @ year ago ard since that time she has lived here. In this city she lived at the boarding house of Mrs. Bartlett, No. 916 15th street. Only a short time ago a Mrs. Ash, who conducts a dressmaking es- tablishment in New York, met Miss Kim- ball here and recognized her as the woman who had given her a worthless check for work done in New York'city. She made dresses for Miss Kimball and her bill of $250 was settled with a check on a Colorado ‘benk, which she claims proved worthless. When arrested today the prisoner admitted this transaction with Mrs. Ash, but said she supposed the check was good. The woman is held for a hearing in the Poiice Court tomorrow. —_—>+ — = THE NEW CREMATORY. ‘The Garbage Plant on the Old Obser- Vatory Site at Work, Contractor Warfield called upon the Com- missioners this morning and stated that the new crematory had been put to work yesterday and was giving good results.
