REAL ESTATE GOSSIP A Big Apartment House in Colum- . bia Heights. A NEW HOTEL IN THE NORTHWEST A Row of Fifteen Houses Planned for First Street. OTHERBUILDINGS PROJECTED A big apartment house is to be erected cr the west side of 14th street between Binney and Bacon streets,Columbia Heights. The projector of this enterprise, Mr. Oscar W. White, who has aesociated with him Dr. Z. B. Babbitt, states that when the building ts completed it will be the largest apartment house in the city except the Cairo. It is to be six stories in height and will have a frontage of 100 feet on 14th street. by a depth of 100 feet. It will con- tain thirty-five apartments, of five, six and seven rooms each. One of the features of the building, which is telieved to be unique, will be a reception hall, besides the pri- vate hall, for each apartment. In this way it is thought more advantages than are usual in a private residence will be enjoyed by the occupants of the apartments. ‘There will be a kitchen attached to each suitc, and all the kitchen appliances will be placed in pantries, so that, if it is the desire of the occupants, this room can be converted into a sleepirg apartment. The front of this building on 14th street 1s to be built of mottled brick and light-colored stone, antl the design, as prepared by the architect, Mr. A. B. Morgan, will make an attractive addition to the architecture of the city. The arrangement of the interior will be such that each room will have outside ex- posure and none will have less than two windows. All the rooms will communicate, which will enable changes to be made in the suites so as to increase or decrease the number of rooms. The entire building is tc be occupied as a dwelling, and there are to be no stores or cafe. No provision has been made for a laundry in the basement, but if it 1s found necessary to have a laun- dry in connection with the house, a build- ing especially adapted for the purpose will be erected in the rear, fronting on the twenty-foot alley. The halls aresto be fin- ished in hardwood and will have tiled floors. There will be bicycle lockers in the base- ment and all the facilities which are usu- aliy found in first-class structures of this character. The contract for the erection of the building has been awarded to Mr. P. Fersinger. ALAB A New Hotel Building. A building for hotel purposes is to be erected in the northwestern section of the city, from plans prepared by Col. Robert I. Fleming, architect. The old building on the north side of I street, near 16th street, adjoining on the west the residence of Mr. Justice Gray, is to be removed and in its Place 1s to be erected a handsome structure six stories in height. The owner of this property, Mr. Gordon McKay, also owns the south portion of what was formerly known as the Hotel Arno, which has a frontage on 16th street. The 16th street building is to be connected with the new structure on I street, and two additional stories will be added to its height. In fact, the portion of the building fronting on 16th street, which will be left standing, will be so altered as to practically make it a new bufiding, so that the entire structure when completed will be six stories in height, ex- tending from I street around to 16th street. The I street front is to be built of In- diana lime stone and white brick. There will be a bay window which will extend the entire height of the building and which will be finished with a tower. All the windows will be filled with plate glass, and there will be other features which will be in harmony with the design of the main front of such a structure. As has been stated, the main entrance’ poy Ret oats ne ee we beens steps ten leading to a stone por- tico. ‘The frst floor will be finished in quartered oak, and the hallway will have marble floors. The ladies’ entrance and parlor will be on 16th street. There will be two elevators in the build- ing, and on the first floor will be the parlors and office, private and public dining rooms. The rooms in the upper stories will be ar- ranged in suites of two and three rooms, with bath. There wil be single apartments on the upper floor, and the arrangement of the interior and all the appoint- ments of the building. are designed to pro- vide first-class accommodations. In the basement ample space will be devoted to the kitchen and its auxiliaries, such as the store room, the refrigerator room, bakery, Pastry room, serving room and servants’ dining room. The heating apparatus will be located in this part of the building and an electric lighting plant will furnish the lighting for the building. Large Building Enterprise. In the erection of two finc houses. which T. F. Schneider, architect, has just begun cn the south side of Q street. near the cor- rer of 18th street, the laggest undertaking in building operations ever successfully carried through by a single individual in tkis city will be completed. In 1890 Mr. Schneider purchased the entire block of lots on the north side of the street between 1th and 18th streets and built a hand- scme row of stone houses. The following year he purchased the entire opposite side of the street and proceeded at once to build it up, starting at the corner of 18th street, with the erection of the white stone man- sicn which he occupied as his own resi- dence, and at different times thereafter continued building operations, until now there is a stretch of hcuses having a total frontage of 1,800 feet, cr more than one- third of a mile in length. ‘The two now being built will have each a frontage of twenty-five feet and a depth of eighty-three feet. The first floor will have a hall eight feet wide, with oak staircase; enamel-finished parlor and library, a dining room finished in oak, wainscoted, etc.; a tutler’s pantry, back stairs, and, what is eppreciated by the housewife, a fine kitchen on the same floor as the dining room. The second and third floors each will have five chambers and baths and plenty of closet rcom. All the modern appliances of a first- class house will be provided. Two swell bays will occupy the extreme sides of the front and will be connected by a semi-cir- cular colonnade of Indiana limestone, with classic columns, cornice and balustrade, all of stone, approached by two curved flights of steps. The body of the front is to be of light-colored bricks, topped out by a rich festooned frieze and 4 cornice. All the windows will have straight key arched stcne lintels and French plate glass. First Street Improvements, Ove of the favorite approaches to Sol- ciers’ Home is by way of Ist street, which thoroughfare is asphalted from the limits of the city to the entrance to the home grounds. With few exceptions the road basses through a region which has not yet been improved, only a few houses being scattered here and there. The firat move- ment in the direction of occupying these building sites with residences is to be made by Mr. Edward Landvoigt, who has decided to build a row of fifteen houses at ist and V streets. The erection of five of these houses has already been begun, and work on the balance will be commenced later in the season. These houses will be each 20 feet in width, will be three stories’ in height, and the fronts will be built of brownstone and Pompeiian brick. The roofs will be covered with Spanish tile, and each house will have a bay window, the vorner house being finished with a tower. The houses will be three rooms deep, and the parlor will be finished in white eramel. ‘There will be hard wood mantels and tiled fireplaces and tiled bath rooms, and all the modern electrical apptiances. Some Improvements, A residence is to be erected by Mr. Geo. Watts at 1744 Riggs place, from plans pre- pared by Mr. Von der Mars. The front will be built of brick and brownstone, with an octagon bay, and a mansard roof, covered with slate. E. Woltz, architect, has prepared plans for three two-story houses to be erected on Seaton street, Eckington, for C. A. John- son. They will be 16 feet front. Mr. John Fulmer is to erect a residence at the corner of 2d and East Capitol streets, from plans prepared by F. B. Pyle, archi- tect. It is to be three stories in height, and the front will be built of buff brick and brown stone. There are to be a bay win- dow and a stone porch. A residence is to be erected at the corner of East Capitol street and Kentucky avenue by Mrs. A..H. Gray. The plans, prepared by Appleton P. Clark, jr., provide for a house three stories in height, with a front of pressed brick, and brown stone and terra cotta trimmings. Across the front will be a porch with columns. There will be a circular bay window, terminating in a terra cotta balustrade, and the roof will be covered with slate and pierced by win- dows. Quartered oak will be used in finish- ing the halls and stairways. Cherry will be used in the dining room, and the parlor will be finished in white enamel. Plans have been prepared for two two- story dwellings to be erected at Georgia avenue and I street southeast for B. B. Connick. The fronts will be built of brick and brown stone. A frame cottage is to be built at College Park by Dr. L. Sherwood. A Beautiful Residence. The handsome, large, brownstone dwell- ing, containing 15 rooms and all modern conveniences, No. 1735 20th st. n.w., will be sceld by trustees at public auction on Mon- Gay afternoon at 5 o'clock. Those who are interested in fine dwellings should not, miss this opportunity.

He is Wanted Here fer Obtaining Money Under False Pretenses—De- tective Weedon Experience. » & Inspector Hollinberger received a tele- gram yesterday aftern®on ftom Detective Weedon, at Wheeling, W. Ve, stating that James H. Strosnider under indictment. here, had been required to%give bonds in $1,000 security to answer the charge against him here. In the event of his being unable to give the security, he will be brought to this city later by the marshal. The defendant is the man who is charged here with swindling Mr. Edward McCann to the extent of $250 and a diamond ring worth $190, by pretending he was going to participate in a foot race with another man, and that he expected to realize a handsome sum onthe affair. Incidentally, he wanted to wear Mr. McCann’s-diamond ring while making the bargain with his pretended victim, for the reason: that, as he stated, he wanted to look “flashy.” Mr. McCann and Strosnider had been in- timate during their school days, which were spent at Washington, Pa., and for this reason he did not hesitate to accom- modate him with the loan. It was due to a good piece of detective work that Messrs. Horne and Weedon iocated Strosnider at Moundsville, W. Va. Detective Weedon and McCann, the victim, went to the West Virginia city, where the state penitentiary is located, and the officer's experience there, he declares, will never be forgotten. Believe in the Fee System. Almost every official with whom he came in contact, he says, played the Pullman porter act and demanded a fee. When sev- eral of these demands had been met, and the officer saw that he had no chance of getting his man from the Moundsville magistrate, he concluded to take the case be“ore the United States commissioner at Wheeling, but before going he was told that, as an act of courtesy, he should call on the squire and withdraw the complaint lodged there. The magistrate had no ob- jection to this move, but he wanted an- other fee of $1.50. The detective had run short of funds, however, and he so told the justice. He had just one dollar left, but this would not do, and so he went with a deputy sheriff to Mr. McCann and borrowed the amount. To cap the climax, the authori- ties in the little town came near to re- quiring the officer to give security for his appearance, but he managed io talk them out of that. The magistrate postponed the cage, neces- sitating the return of the officer to Wash- ington, and a few days ago the chief of police of Moundsville sent a letter to Maj. Mcore, telling him that Strosnider’s counsel had demanded the aHeged stolen bicycle, and asked for instructions. He also asked how he was to get his fee. Strosnider Weakened. When Mr. McCann saw his old friend in prison in West Virginia-the latter dt first pretended he knew nothing about the ring, but later he changed his mind and begged that nothing be safd to his wife about his escapade in the “Division,” where he got $25 and the bicycle from Blanche Wheeler, an inmate of a house on 15th street. Now that the prisoner has been held for trial, the marshal +will bring him here and he will be areaigned in the Crim- ir.al Court. = ——__ Mr. Downey Exten@s aw Invitation to the public to call and examine the new Victoria, Brougham and Lagdau of which he is the inventor.

ANDREW’S CHURCH. Congregation is in a Flourishing Fi- ancial Condition. To the Ealitor of Th> Eveniog Star: An article appeared in The Star Friday, May 28,.in regard to St. Andrew’s Church, which was misleading, and the effect is Hable to be injurious to the church if not corrected. St. Andrew’s is not in the “financial straights” alleged in the article and the general upheaval of existing con- ditions as intimated are in no wise likely to occur. The writer of the article, who was given an outline of its affairs in a friendly conversation, evidently and unfor- tunately enlarged upon the information re- ceived and made it appear that the church was on the verge of bankruptcy, that strained relations exist between the assist- ant rector and the congregation, and that the vestry is confronted with a deplorable state of affairs, when, as a matter of fact, considering the stringency of the times, few churches can show a more flattering cendition. Like all churches that engage to erect a new building, it has incurred indebtedness, and it is in conformity with lines laid down by the church toward the liquidation of its debts that the same prac- tical spirit of economy which has prevailed keretofore will be followed for the neces- sary time in the future. Prior to ‘October last the church, at the earnest solicitation of the rector, had dispensed with an assist- ant to promote the end in view. The ves- try, observing the vast amount of labor thus entailed upon him, insisted upon ar- ranging, and did arrange, for an assistant for a yeer. It was found, however, at the close of the '96-97 year, which ended April 30, that this arrangement would not afford a surplus such as was desired to place on the debts, and it was decided, under a mutual and friendly understanding by all concerned to return in September to the method prevailing a year ago. That this ccnelusion was not the result of a deficit or “straightened financial condition,” but for the sole purpose of enlarging the debt Payments, is readily recognized by a glance at the official parochial report made May 1; in fact, few Episcopal churches can present @ more successful showing. The report shcws receipts for the year amounting to: Pew rents, $4,800; church offerings, $5,100; communion alms, $271; Sunday school, $225: parish societies, $915; other sources, $1,535; @ total of $12,876. Total expenditures, in- cluding salaries, fuel, lights, charities 8720), repairs, improvements, etc., amounted to $10,730. Of the balance shown to its credit $2,000 was devoted to debt payment. It is desired to increase this payment next year, hence the proposed change of present ar- rangments. The rector, assistant vestry and congregation feel agrieved that an im- pression so erroneous as that conveyed in the article should have been made, and while there is universal regret that the course outlined is the best to pursue, there 1s a perfect unanimity of opinion, of har- mony and good feeling throughout the en- tire parish upon the question.
