See ail vVertisement. Rival Claims of Corporations to Enter Unoccupied Territory. AT THE COMING SESSION ee The managers of the local street rail- reads have, as a rule, by this time pretty well mapped out what they propose to ask from Corgress during the coming session. As every one knows who is at all familiar with District legislation before the national legislature, an important if not a large Proportion relates to the local street rail- roads. There has been even some com- Plaint that this phase of local legislation has at times so absorbed the time and at- tention of the District committees of the Serate and House that they have not been able to give proper consideration to other matters relating to the District. As Congress ts the sole and only au- thority from which these corporations se- cure their chartered rights and such modi- fications and additions as from time to time may seem necessary, the local street railroad managers are of the opinion that they only occupy their proper share of the attention of the national legislature. At the coming session it is likely that the usual number of bills will be introduced relating to street railroads. Exactly what the managers of each line intend to ask Corgress at this coming session in the way of street extension is a subject which they are strongly opposed to discussing, even in the columns of The Evening Sta: What the Railroads Fear. The reasons are the obvious ones of avoiding hostile attention. There are two Principal sources of opposition which the Promoters of railroad legislation greatly fcar. One is from rival corporations and the other from the residents and property owners along the streets which it is pro- Pesed to occupy with street car tracks. The first named, it is asserted, is the prin- cipal cause of the failure of street legisla- tion in the past, and is likely to continue to be a fruitful source of disappointment in the future. There is likely to be a very lively con- test before the next session of Congress, growing out of the rivalry between the Capital Traction Company and the Co- lumbia Company to secure the privilege of building a line along G street west from ith street. This is an old fight, and the Probabilities are that it is going ‘to be re- newed with greater vigor than ever. It has been supposed by some that owing to the losses which resulted from the de- struction by fire of the power house of the Capital Traction Company that cor- poration would not be in a position to ask for any further extensions of its lines for the present at least. Traction Company's Prospects. On the contrary, however, the managers of the company say they were never in a better position than they are at present to extend the lines which they now con- trol. They say that the cable system whick was in use on the Pennsylvania ave- nue and 11th street lines, and which is now being replaced by the underground electric, was one of limited power, and is now being replaced by one of practically limitless power. It is also claimed that they are now in a better position financially to get money, as the company has as yet issued no bonds, and in the event that the authority is granted the company to build any exten- sions, bonds can be issued as is proposed to be dore in order to raise money to in- stall the present system, end these bonds can simply be deposited as collateral for a loan, to be paid off as soon as the earn- ings justify. There is no doubt that the company in- tends to ask for the right to build a line along G street and F ‘street from 17th Street west, and it is understood that their plans contemplate the operation of this Proposed extension by the underground system, which is now being installed on the Pennsylvania avenue line. If this is done, the lith street extension will oc- cupy the same relation to the main or Georgetown line which the lth street line bears to the Georgetown line, and cars can run from the Baltimore and Ohio depot or from the navy yard along the venue to 17th street, and along G Street to the western terminus. What the Columbia Wants. As is well known, the Columbia company wants to continue its line from its present western termirus at New York avenue and 15th street along the thoroughfare in front of the White House, using the tracks of the Capital Traction road, and thence via 17th street along G street to the river. The Columbia road is now operated by a cable, and, while it is stated the company has no preseat intention of changing its power, sull it is pessible, if it should be found ecessary in order to operate this extension te install the underground system, that the corcpany may find it possible to operate its entire line by electricity. As above stated, these two corporations intend to fight it out beforé Congress for the right to cccupy this disputed territory, and it seems probable that this section of the city, which, it is claimed, is in great need of railroad facilities, stands a chance of securing them from one of these corpor- ations. In a bill that was introduced in Congress to give this franchise to the Cap- ital Traction read there was a provision for the continuation of the ‘ine northward up 22d street. While it is not known positively what the exact wishes of the company in this respect are, it is beheved that at this time the ccmpany does not desire the priv- ilege to exterd the line any further than along G street west from 17th street. Another Contested Point. There is another point where it seems likely that two corporations will fall afoul of each other in their efforts to secure the right to occupy disputed territory. Refer- ence is made to the fact that the Metro- politan road, by Its recent extension from the head of Connecticut avenue along Ce- jumbia road to 1Sth street, and the Capital Traction by its line, which extends out 18th street and thence out Connecticut avenue extended to Chevy Chase, stand on the edge of a territory which is yet without a street railroad. Bills have been introduced in Congress at previous sessions to authorize both roads to make extensions out 18th street, and thence through Mt. Pieasant to 14th street. The general impression seems to be that the contest which was begun at a former session of Congress’ between these two roads will be renewed at the coming ses- sion. It, however, can be staled upon good authority that the two corborations will not lock horns over this issue at this ses- sion of Congress. At least that is not the present intention. It is stated positively on behalf of the Metropolitan railroad that that corporation wants no more extensions at present, and that it is satisfied to oper- ate its existing lines. Relief for Mount Pleasant. While the same statement in not made on behalf of the Capital Traction Company, yet it is said that the managers of that corporaticn do not want to build an exten- sion at this time along the route as spec- ified in the bills already iatroduced. If this is the accurate position of the two companies on this subject, Congress will not be asked at this session by either for permission to enter the territory which Stretches west from lth street. to Rock creek. 3 Viieltiatii Woettits isnaulii adil etait tidied AElGnGi Se ERG diehard ellie, Seeeids Heiliile § 2 HF THE EVENING STAR, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 1897-14 PAGES. its and back again, thus giving the desired rapid transit connection between the busi- nees section of the city and that flourish- ing suburb. “ The Capitol Hill Grade. There is another matter which it is likely, will be brought to the attention of Congress in connection with the installa- tion of the new ‘system on the Capital Traction lines. It is claimed that there are certain mechanical difficulties about as- cerding Capitol Hill along B street south, which is the present line of the road, and it is asserted that Congress may be asked to give the company authority to change its present line, so that instead of ascend- ing Capitol Hill to the south of the Capitol, the cars operated by the proposed new system will turn to the north at the Peace monument, as is dene with the 14th street line at present, and following that line to the Baltimore and Ohio station, thence by the Metropolitan tracks around Capitol Park and in front of the new Library build- ing, rejoining at that point its present line, by which the cars will continue east to the navy yard. It is of course, not known positively that it is the intention of the company to ask Congress for permission to make such @ change, but it is asserted in well-informed circles that it is likely such a proposition will be made. The Coldmbia’s Trolley Road. _ It is probable that the Columbia road, in the heat of the contest to secure authority for the proposed western extension, will overlook what is perhaps regarded as of more value to the company, and that is the right to build an overhead trolley line from the eastern terminus of the road at 15th and H streets northeast along Benning road to the village of Benning. As has already been stated in The Star, active work is in progress by a syndicate composed mainly of western capitalists in constructing a steam road from a point on the Chesapeake bay, about twenty-five miles south of Bay Ridge, to the District line. It is the purpose of this syndicate to ask Congress for the right to continue this road through the District to a point in the vicinity of Benning or Deanewood. If such authority is given, and the Columbiu road secures permission to build its extension, then these twq roads will be operated in conjunction. so that it is believed by the Promoters of this enterprise that passen- gers can be taken from the heart of the city to the Chesapeake bay in an hour's time. In the attempt made above to outline what the street railroads of the city intend to ask from Congress at the coming session in the way of extensions, no reference has been made, fcr obvious reasons, to either the Belt or Eckington railroad. Neither have the various suburban roads been al- luded to, but it is not believed that any changes of importance are contemplated in the near future by the companies operating these lines. As will be noted, this sketch of the plans of the street railroads has been confined to what may be termed the three principal street railroads of the city-— the Capital Traction, the Metropolitan and the Columbia. a AMUSEMENTS. REV. DR. STAFFORD'S LECTURE.— Next Sunday night Rev. Dr. D. J. Stafford will deliver a lecture for the benefit of the Carroll Institute at the Columbia Theater. His subject will be “The Moral Lesson of Macbeth,” and from Dr. Stafford’s well- known ability as a lecturer it may be as- sumed that his treatment will be highly interesting. Dr. Stafford is an exceedingly eloquent pulpit orator and is equally ef- fective on the lecture platform. He has been a deep Shakespearean student and will undoubtedly present original ideas in regard to the great tragedy of which he will speak. Dr. Stafford has great dra- matic power, which adds to the interest of his lecture, and this accomplishment will find ample scope in his treatment of “Macbeth.” “THE TELEPHONE GIRL.”—“The Tele- phene Girl,” which is described as a very frothy comedy with musical environments, is going to have its first production upon any stage at the Columbia Theater Mon- day, November 29. ‘The Telephone Girl” is another one of Mr. Rice’s ventures, and that its presentation will be of a most elaborate character is a foregone conclu- sion. The principal people who will be seen in “The Telephone Girl” are Louis Mann and Clara Lipman, who are now rehearsing with that organization in New York. Mr. Mann will possibly be remembered as the creator of the funny German innkeeper in the “Girl From Paris,” and the originator of that very fetching line, ‘It is to laugh,” while Clara Lipman’s portrayal of Julie Ben Bon in the same play during its run in New York stamped her as the chicest thing seen on Broadway in many a day. “THE ROYAL BO: '—The Royal Box,” the play with the unique title by Charles Coghlan, which will receive its first presen- tation on any stage at the Columbia Thea- ter in Washington the 22d inst. and in which Mr. Coghlan himself will appear in the principal role, will be presented by a large company of unusual strength, which will include Miss Gertrude Coghlan, the daugh- ter of the actor-author; Mrs. Louise Thorn- dyke Boucicault; Miss Grace Filkins, the beautiful actress who was lately married to Captain Marix of the United States navy; Miss Lulu Klein, E. J. Ratcliff, Al- bert Bruning, Charles Stanley, Walter Craven, Taylor Granville, Charles Plunkett, Claude Brooke, Frank Sheridan, Guy Nic ols, James Morton, jr., and several other artists of prominence. The feature. of the piece, which gives it its title, is a novel dramatic incident which Mr. Coghlan re- fuses to reveal in advance of its first pre- sentation. Mr. Coghlan plays the part of an actor of great prominence at the time of the action of the play, which occurs in the time just preceding the regency of the Prince of Wales, son of George III. ———— $1.00 To Baltimore and Return $1.00 Via Pennsylvania railroad.

Colored Man Charged With the Lar- ceny of Chickens, Policemen Larry O'Dea and Pat Creagh of the ninth precinct yesterday arrested Lloyd Henson and William Blanch, young colored men, and locked them up for the Maryland authorities. They were found near 15th and G streets northeast. Today they were turned over to Constable Ben- son of Prince George’s county, who con- veyed them to Mariboro’. ‘The officers were near 15th and H streets early yesterday morning, when they saw the colored ‘men entering the city from the Bladensburg road. One of them had a bag on his shoulder, whick prompted the offi- cers to make an investigation. The co:ored men started to run, but,were quickly fol- lowed by the officers and captured. Eight fancy chickens were in the bag, which had been dropped, and this con- vimced the officers that the prisoners had been guilty of larceny. Later in the day Mr. R. E. L. N:cholson of the Helyoke poultry farm, near Rives Station, learned of the arrest and identified the fowls as having been taken from his farm. The prisoners will probably be held in the Murl- bero’ jail urtil the spring term of the court. There are five charges of burglary against them, the »olice say.

PRACTICALLY UNDER ROOF So Citizens Not Changing Name of Tenleytown. Some of the citizens of the northwestern section of the District are oppcsed to any change in the name of Tenleytown village, ag proposed recently at a meeting of the Northwest Suburban Citizens’ Association. The matter was presented at the associa- tion meeting, in the form of a resolution introduced by Mr. C. C. Lancaster, propos- ing that the nume be changed to Walnut Hill, and, after discussion, was laid over for further consideration at a future meet- ing. Mr. William Britt is one of the opponents to the resolution. He occupies the residence formerly used by the Tenteys, for whem the village was named, and Mrs. Britt is a direct descendant of that family. The Britt family hes in its possession a number of documents which clearly establish that the name of the town, given in honor of the Tenley family, should not be Tennally- town, as spelled by the official postal guide and by a number of corporations and in- dividuals. Mr. Br:tt says the name Tenally- town was not adopted until lately. For over a century the town has borne the name, though originally it was known as Tenieytown, and the name should be so spelled now. About thirty years ago, it is said, a vigor- ous effort was made to have the name of the village changed to Mechanicsville, but the proposition met with much opposition and was finally defeated. The outcome of the present movement is awaited with con- siderable interest. —_— TRADE IN MUSHROOMS.

The work of construéting the new George- town University Hosgital, at 35th and N streets, is being fapidly pushed, and the building is now iprattically under roof. Only one of the buildiags proposed is being built, the funds on Mand not being large enough to commence the construction of the other, as at present contemplated. The one now going up is four stories in height, with a basement. The architect is Mr. Keferstein. Mr. J. B. Collins is the builder, while Messrs. Lynch and Columbus are do- ing the brick work. The building, which is the main one of the hospital, has a press brick front, which, with the added trimmings, presents a pret- ty architectural appearance. One thing to which especial attention has been given is the arrangement for light. Windows zre placed so as to give plenty of sunlight at all hours of the day, and at the same time afford good ventilation. Above the third floor, carved in the bricks, is the name of the institution, ‘Georgetown University Hospital.” The only front projection is an oriel window from the third floor, while in the rear a circular bay window runs from the ground to the top story. On the west side sufficient space has been allowed to permit an ambulance. to drive up to the door for delivery of a sick or injured perso, to the institution.

The mushroom business in the local markets this week has not been a very Profitable one. Many epicures who have y heretofore patronized the growers of the | vegetable have declined to purchase, owing to the developments in the case of Count de Veccht and Dr. Kelly. This morning | the country people at the Center market, and especially the old colored women from nearby places, had quantities of mush- rooms for sale, but buyers lacked confi- dence, and sales were consequently slow. One dealer in the market who has hereto- fore handled large quantities of the fungi told a Star reporter that he had quit the business. “I shall never sell another mushroom,” he remarked. “For some time I have had my doubts about them, and I have deter- mined never again to run the risk of sell- ing them.” The dealer went with the reporter out on the country line, and showed some of the kind of toadstools which, he said, caused the death of Col. Vecchi. An elderly col- ored, woman had a large basket of them, and with them were mushrooms of a more common variety. While the dealer asserted that most of the woman’s stock was of the poisonous variety, the latter declared she knew what she was selling. ‘You certainly are mistaken,” she said. “If they are poisonous, then I must be dead, for I've been eating them for years, and my customers all like them.” The old woman said she thought almost everything of this kind that grows in the 4 open fields and meadows may be eaten with perfect safety, but she would not trust anything that grows in the woods. During recent years the mushroom in- dustry has been engaged in by hundreds of people in and about the city, and the handlers of the cultivated stock found it rather profitable until so many took up the business. Now they sell at less than half the price they did a few years ago. ae During the winter months the dealers de- BASLeTS ES LOLEN- pend largely upon Pennsylvania growers for supplies, although quite a good many Some One.

Saturday night last some one entered the room of the supervisors of election at this . place, evidently with the intention of tam- pering with the ballots cast at Tuesday's election. A thorough search had been made of the room, evidently’ to secure the keys to the ballot boxes,.4sut the clerk to the supervisors’ had taken the precaution to place them where-they would fall into the hands of none-but the.rightoparties. The supervisors -had~met: Saturday to transact some business, which had been carried over since Thursday, and while they were in session somegpne stole the key to the door, which was not discovered until they had adjourned and the clerk was clos- ing up. Thinking there was something crooked, another key was procured and the door locked. The keyhole was sealed and a piece of paper sealed to the door and the jamb. It was discovered Monday morning that both sezls had been broken and some one had been in the room. The box con- taining the blank ballots of Damascus dis- trict and the box containing the ballots of the first precinct of Rockville district were taken, and have not yet been recovered. This occurrence has created considerable excitement in the community, and it is un- derstood a large reward will be offered for the apprehension of the thief. The ballots were in charge of the clerk of the court, having been turned over to that official py the beard of supervisors, as the law directs. The theft can have no effect on the elec- tion, as the vote had been canvassed and certified to the proper officials. ——__ Jacobs Bras., Jewelers, Retiring from business. 1220 Pa. ave.

The victim of catarrh 1s troubled with a con- tinual dropping in the throat, discharges from the nose, constant hawking and spit- ting, pain over and between the eyes. The wonderful success of Hood's Sarsaparilla in curing catarrh is due to its power to purify the blood.

Maurice Smith were appointed to draft suitable resolutions, and reported: “That the members of the bar of the District of Columbia have heard with sin- cere sorrow of the death of their profes- sional brother, R. Byrd Lewis, who for mnany years was an eminent member of this bar and held high rank as a prac- titioner in our courts. “That we lament the bereavement which our profession has sustained in the death of Mr. Lewis, who has left upon our hearts and memories the recollection of an accom- plished lawer, of a brilliant advocate, of a generous and faithful friend and of an earnest and faithful man. “That the chairman be requested to pre- sent these resolutions to the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia and to the Court of Appeals at its next session, to be spread upon their records. “That the chairman convey to the family of Mr. Lewis a copy of these resolutions, with the expression of the profound sym- pathy of the bar.” After eulogistic remarks had been made by Messrs. Leigh Robinson, Frank Hack- ett and J. McDowell Carrington the report was uncnimously adopted. —* If You Look Elsewhere It's Only precious time wasted. 5-Ib. box finest but- ter, $1.45, pleases a throng of others; we know it will please you.
