ALLEGED TRESPASS District Accused of Unlawful Ooca- pancy of Ground. A PORTION OF MICHIGAN AVENUE | Protest Filed by the Directors of Glenwood Cemetery. PROBABLE LITIGATION The exact status of Michigan avenue has never been determined, end while the Com- missioners are prepering to open the same there are some interests, it Is understood, which must be sutisfied before the work can be done. Tae most important of these is that of Glenwood cemetery. Today Sec- retary Clephane of the cemetery company wrote the following letter to the Commis- sioners upon the subject: “At a meeting of the board of trustees ef the Glenwood cemetery, held yesterday afterncon, I was directed, as secretary of the board, to communicate With you upon the subject cf the rights of the Glen- wood cemetery in and to that portion of the grounds known as Michigan avenue, which is included within the limits of the land owned by the cemetery corporation. What the Records Show. “It appears from the records of the Glen- wood cemetery, and must also appear from the records of the Commissioners, that in 1887, when the bourd of Commissioners of the District of Columbia conceived the idea of projecting the road to be known vs Michigan avenue through a portion of tre grounds belonging to the said cem- etery, they were nctified by the then sec- retary of this board that the trustees would rot cbject to ‘lawful proceedings of ccnden nation,’ but that they were ‘un- able te donate said strip of land for a public highway.’ This statement that there “ould be no opposition to a cendemnation Wes a’so coupled with a proviso that other streets then projected through the grounds of said cemetery should be abolished from the plan of the Commissioners. A letter from the secretary of your board, dated October 31, 1887, agreed to this change in the plans of the Commissioners, in con- sideration of the cemetery company with- drawing its opposition to the proposed condemnation of Michigan avenue. Roadway Seized. “Notwithstanding the agreement made upon that subject, as aforesaid, the land tor the proposed roadway was seized and entered upon by the officers and agents of the District of Columbia, the fence of the cemetery removed, trees then growing upon the land cut down, and the surface of the ground changed and graded, and other in- juries done to the cemetery property, all without the slightest attempt to condemn the ground thus taken er to pay compensa- uon therefor, or damages for the injuries thus inflicted, and without the consent of the Glenwood cemetery to those proceed- ings. Numerous protests against this high- handed proceeding have from time to time been made by the board’ of trustees of the cemetery, and a considerable amount of discussion and conference has ensued be- tween the representatives of the District of Columbia and represertatives of the cemetery company, but all without result, and no compensation has as yet been made or damages paid. Positive and Definite Action. “We have deferred action in the matter from time to time, believing that it would be eventually adjusted to the satisfaction ef all parties concerned; but the District officers have continued to spend money in grading and improving this roadway, in and over which they nave not and never had the slightest right, and in exercising such other unequivocal acts of ownership as to lead us to take some positive and defi- nite action, We edhere to our former posi- ten, namely, that we have no objection to this roadway being laid out along the «Cge of our grounds, provided we are prop- erly corapensated for the land appropriated therefor, but we have to power to sell a foot of this land for a single cent below its actual value, and we would certainly be ex- ceedingly derelict in our duties should we longer remain quiet and refrain from as- serting our rights. “While we do not wish to inconvenience your honorable body or the citizens of the District of Columbia in the slightest de- sree, still there ure, as you know, certain safeguards which it fs necessary to take in order to protect one’s rights should they subsequently come into litigation. The Ultimatum. “We must therefore request from you, gentlemen, either an immediate, unequiv- ocal statement of your abandonment to all ims in and rights to or over land now occupied by Michigan avenue, and which forms a part of the land owned by the Glenwood cemetery; or that you replace our fence in the same position as it was located prior to the unlawful appropriation of this roadway, or that you enter into some written agreement with us to pay what this land is worth should you desire to retain tt. In either of these events we shall, of course, insist upon damages for the injuries committed, and upon payment for the timber and other property actually taken. “In case you cannot see your way clear to take action in any of the directions above suggested or in some other way equally knowledging our rights in the premises, we shall be obliged to repla ut the expense of the District our fence, and close the road to public use, and further to take such action in the courts as we may be advised is proper un- der the circumstances.” ———._—_. TO SUCCEED DR. BATES. Medical Director Van Reypen to Be Surgeon Generel of the Navy. The President has appointed Medical Di- rector W. K. Van Reyren to be surgeon general of the navy to succeed Surgeon General Bat2s, deceased. Dr. Van Reypen is at present a memter of the board of in- spection and survey, which office he has held since 1804. He was appointed to the navy from New Jersey as an assistent surgeon in 1861, 0 his service carried him entirely through the civil war, wherein he made a fine rec- ord. He attained his present rank of med- ical director in March, 1895, while stationed fu Washington. ————————— Plended Guilty. In the Police Court this afternoon Au- gustus de Grummond pleaded guilty to a charge of violating the lottery law, and was fined $0 by Judge Mills. The fine was paid.

The returns received by the controller, of the currency from the national banks un- der the recent call indicate how largely has been the increase in deposits and loans since 1890, 1891 and 1892, when business in Washington and elsewhere was at its height. In compliance with a request of The Star the following table of returns of banks in this city was prepared by Controller Eckels: g g ey TOST g FE SBI‘GI9'L 86 LF3‘080'T 92 19L'T19'T 20 OLO'SLT'TS 88 Sol'Fes'T 88 soc'ora'T 26 86s‘ Ter'T 66 8L8'TRs'T & *By80daq GL ZOS'TEs‘6$ 8 Fy 8 FOr‘sos'6 18 SI8'$82'0L $8 900'696'6 ST ets‘ Lb 9go'oso's =| Be eee a 2 & | Se BRETHE es) ef. | zsegeeeges 8) 32 | = gegreeeeB # BEEREREE| ¢ The number of banks in 18)0 was eleven; the following year one was added. There was no increase until 1806, when another was added, but in the present year the number was reduced to twelve. The capital of the banks was increased from $2,375,000 in 1800 by $200,000, the fol- lowing year, and continued unchanged up to 1596, when it was increased to $3,075,000. In 1897 it was reduced to $2,575,000. Controller Eckels thinks the showing a gcod one. The deposits in the banks at the close of September particularly show a return of confidence. The deposits are more than a million and a quarter in ex- cess of the same period last year, and ex- ceed any period in the history of the city. The loans and discounts are also considered evidence of returned confidence. Mr. Eckeis thought the figures spoke for themselves too well to enter into extended comment. ——_—_—_—__-» +___ MATTER OF PERMITS. Police Must See That Builders Have Proper Authority. The Commissioners are determined, it is said, to enforce the building regulations, and see to it that the police officers do their share of the work. It is customary to issue permits for all buildings and occu- pancy of public spaces, anc the police have instructions to see to it that each person building or repairing a house, or otherwise éccupying public space, has a permit there- for. Several days ago the attention of the Commissioners was called to a breach of the building regulations by a builder who had erected a shed on the street without a permit therefor. It was impossible fcr the assistant buildtyg inspectors to report the matter, because of their manifold duties, and the pclice officers on the beat failed to call attention to it. When the attention of the Commissioners was directed to the matter, they instituted an investigation, and learning the officers’ names cn the beat, promptly fined them $8 each for their negligence, and warned them to be more careful in the future. This was done with- out even the formality of a trial, which the Commissioners did not think | necessary, since the officers acknowledged their short- coming. ———— May Erect an Electric Light Pole. The Secretary of War has granted per- mission to the National Chautauqua of Glen Echo, Md., to change the positions of the two electric light poles in front of their buildings on the lands of the United States, pertaining: to the Washington aqueduct, and to erect an electric light pole on said lands at the junction of the Washington and Glen Echo railroad with the Conduit Ordered to the Vicksburg.

The residents of 86th street between Prospect avenue and 'N street. are ‘ésm- Plaining ‘over what ia termtd a nuisance, which dates back to the time the term'nal of the Metropolitan railroad was estaplish- ed in that vicinity. There:is no suitable station: provided by ‘the railroad for the accommodation of its patrons, and the lerge number who get off there and wait for the appearance and start of a Great Fails electric car remain out in the street. ‘The people in the neighboxshood are called upen and asked -to furnish. drinking wa- ter and other acts of courtesy, which would be gladly given, it is sata, but'for the fact that large crowds 6f people seek this ad- vantage. In rdiny weather the. houses ‘of the residents are used for the shelter of the patrons of both roads. As it happens, there are several people in the neighbor- hood who are sick, and the continua) ring- ing of the door bell is a great annoyance Another thing complained of is the not ise made by the conductors and motormen, which, it is alleged, is often mixed witn profanity, especially late at night. The scraps from the dinner baskets of the em- ployes of the .road are thrown oat in the street, and the vicinity,.as, become. the headquarters of a ravenous pack of mon- grel curs. The union depot across the way was designed for the entrance of the Met- ropolitan road, but’ that corporation “re- fused to enter into the scheme.

The fcllowing article appeared in a Rich- Mond paper a few days ago: = “It appears that it is not generally known all over the state that Governor O'Ferrall, the commander-in-chief, about a month ago, in appointing a general court-martial, Hy eC on ee PERSONAL. .

Mushbach az captain cf the Alexandria Light Infantry, saw fit to dis- charge twenty men from further service in his company, for disobedience of orders and neglect of duty, without reporting them to the court-martial and preferring charges against them, he will make himself liable to having charges preferred against him, and the men so discharged by him illegally will also be brought up before that court.” A Star reporter last night calied upon Capt. Bryan and endeavored to get an in- terview with him upon the subject, but he declined to say anything upon the subject except that he was acting upon mich later information than that which the Richmond paper was in possession of. As a matter of fact, Capt. Bryan did not discharge twenty men ot his 2ommand. He simply applied to the governor, stating the facts as they existed, and Governor O’Ferrall ordered the discharge of the men mentioned. The Alexandria Light Infantry, under Capt. Bryan, is fast becoming one of the crack military companies of the state, ard it is claimed that when the twenty men alluded to are dismissed the standard of the company will be greatly increased. On a Serious Charge. Thomas Kimball is locked up at the sta- tion house upon a charge of seduction under. promise of marriage. About two weeks ago Miss Tempie Jeffries, an at- tractive young woman eighteen years of age, applied to Mayor Simpson for a war- rant for Kimball's arrest. In some man- ner Kimball became aware of this and fled to Washington Wednesday night. Sergt. Smith telephoned a description of Kimball to the Washington police, request- ing his arrest, and a telephone message was received yesterday morning stating that he had been apprehended. Sergt Smith went to Washington after him, and at 2 o'clock landed him behind the bars in this city, where he was seen by a Star reporte Kimball most emphatically denies his guilt, and says that he will easily proy his innocence when the case is investi gated. He has secured the services of Lawyer John H. Green. Kimball is twenty- three years old, and is well known in this city, where he has resided for a number of years. For a short while he was em- ployed as special officer at the local depot, but about twe years ago he moved to Washington, where he has been driving a milk wagon ever since. Sergeant Smith Exonerated. The board of police commissioners Thurs- day night passed a resolution to the effect “That we have full confidence in the in- tegrity, usefulness and citizenship of Ser- geant James T. Smith, and that we find no foundation for the charge that Sergeant Smith has done anything to impeach his character as a man or his efficiency as an officer.” This resolution was designed as an an- swer to the charge brought by Commis- sioner Price to the effect that Sergeant Smith was a deserter from the United States navy, and was thereby a perjurer, he having sworn falsely when he took the oath in entering the service of Uncle Sam, and was, therefore, an unfit man to hold .the position of policeman.

The big Saturday Star this week will be well up to the usval high standard, and The Star’s many thousend readers will find ready for them a world of good reading. For one thing, it will contain the second installment of Anthony Hope's latest story, “Simon Dale,” which already gives prom- ise of rivaling the best of the writings of this popular novelist. In addition to this there will be a couple of short stories of more than usual merit, one by Cy. War- mau, than whom there is no writer better fitted to picture life and adventure in the west. It is needless to say that the inter- ests of the women readers will be well taken care of, for among the articles in- tended especially for them is one by the most vought-after dressmaker in the French capital. At the other extreme, per- haps. might be mentioned several orticles on the general subject of outdoor and in- door sports, were it not for the fact that this is a regular feature of The Star every day. Bicycling, foot ball and the rest ha: such a hold on the public that no paper would be complete if it did not have some- thing about outdoor means cf recreation.

In the early days Irish wolf dogs—sort of tall greyhounds—were the most highly valued of all dogs, and no one but princes and chiefs were allowed to keep them, The Welsh laws of the ninth century pro- vided heavy penalties for killing or maim- ing animals of this breed, so great was the esteem in which they were held. In the year 1205 King John gave to Prince Liewelyn, as a mark of his high regard, a beautiful Irish wolf dog named Gelert. This dog became a great favorite with his mastef, and accompanied him everywhere. But one day he was missing from the chase, and Llewelyn, very angry, returned home to find out what was the matter. He was met at the door of the chamber of his chil? by Gelert, who came fawning up to him, bis jaws dripping with blood. Hastily entering the room Liewelyn found the bed overturned, the coverings splashed with blood and no trace of the body of his son. He called wildly, but received no answer.
