Holmead’s burial ground: at the head of 20th street, and Kalorama, the favorite picnic ground, just over Boundars street; a few slaughter houses and ga- dens, but the country had not heen opened up, and not the least attempt had been made toward street improvement, if we except the partial grading of 20th street, made necessary by the frequency of funerals going to Holmead's. That now tine thoroughfare and promenade, Connec- ticut avenue, was then marked by a single wagon track, which meandered along the general lines toward Bomford’s (Kalo- rama), the Paper mill bridge or the cem- Massachusetts avenue was then known in name, and the general de- seription of the now popular Connecticut avenue at that time is applicable to it. Unknown Avenues. “Rhode Island and New Hampshire ave- nues were even less known than they, for seldom were their names used by others than those who owned adjoining property. Nearly the whole section, now the mest beautiful portion of the city, had been al- lowed to lie idle for years, and much of the land had no attention whatever paid to it. It is a matter of history that more than one piece of property in that region was allowed to be sold repeatedly for taxes, and finally get out of the reach of the owne: who then thought that the amount of taxes was all it was worth. Not over twenty years ago, through a business transaction over funeral expenses, an old man was brought into contact with a lawyer, and, mentioning that his father once owned a square of ground in that locality, an ex- amination of the records followed with the result that the old man was made wea through compromises with those who had assumed possession. There were perhaps eight or ten settlements, a few slauginter houses and less than a dozen gardens, aud in some instances a square was set in xrass in the section. Bryantown was the nume given two or three chief dwellings at the corner of Massachusetts avenue and 17th street and Paddy Mageetown to some houses of the same character near where Heurich’s brewery now stands. Slash run, which twenty years ago or more was con- verted into a sewer, carried off much of tiie drainage thore days, running, as it di 5 from near the head of 18th street south- ward nearly to D, thence west and nurth- west Into Rock creek, not far from O street. A number of smaller streams flowed imto Slash run, and aside from the rudest of wooden bridges over it at Connecticut ave- nue and 20th street, the crossings were by fords. or stepping stones. : “It is possible that many. will be slow to believe that such was. the appearance of the northwest fifty years ago: but the few who followed Siash run or wandered through the wilds of what was to them in their boyhood ‘The Great Northwest,’ know that the picture is not overdrawn. Just ow to account for the great—one may say phenomenal—change is difficult. For some ‘reason we Americans believe that it is a rule of municipal growth that when the topography of the ground will permit our cities and towns develope on their westward and northward sides.

Randall, proprietor of the River View excursion resort, Says that the statement made at the meeting of the Musicians’ Union that he had determined to replace his orchestra and band of union musicians with one of women musicians from New York is not true. He Says that, on the contrary, he is now arranging to employ his old band and orchestra, and to increase the numbers. If women musicians are brought to River View, it will be one of those free corcert bands from New York, and they will then only be heard in con- certs, and not only will not replace the ufhion musicians, but will in no way inter- tere with them. Captain Randall gays he is a firm believer in labor unions, and never had any idea of employing “rat” musi- cians. —————— _ National League Arbitrators. The national board of arbitration of the National Base Ball League will meet at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, New York city, April 12.

He forged the name of Susan Kleiber as indorser on a promis- sory note of $20, signed by him, with in- tent to defraud Arthur W. Harrison.

For assauiting Francis Haniker, an old soldier, the might of the 24th of last De- cember, Albert Foster was sentenced to eleven months and twenty-nine days in jail and Wm. A. Lindsay to sixty days in Jail. Both men are negroes, Foster admitting that he“has served: two terms in the peni- tentiary for assault with intent to kill. They were charged with assaulting the old taan with intent to kill him, but, much to the surprise of thosé who followed the case, the jury eonvicted them of simple assault only, despite the terribly battered head of the old man, he having been struck with a stone or “black jack. In sen- tencing thé “men, ief Justice Bingham in- timated that he regretted that no severer sentence could be imposed upon Foster. He therefore, gave him the maximum penalty, giving Lindsay, who is but six- teen or seventeen. years of age, a much lighter one. Ladies’ A! Society. The Ladies’ Aid Socfety of the Metropol- itatt M.
