His right leg was broken, and he sustained internal injuries, but he will live to recount his thrilling exp2rience. Pardy, a bricklayer, living at No. 4252 3d avenue, was at work this morning on a scaffold swung from the topmost girders of the new Martin Hotel, at No. 38 West_33a street.

Mass Meeting Considers Their Claims and Adopts Resolutions. Recent Decision by Court of Appeals as to} A largely-attended mass meeting of the Sunday Privileges. Opinion of an Attorney That Scope of Regulations is Unchanged—The Court’s Deliverance. The decision of the Court of Appeals in the liquor case of Michael J. Hannan last week, as published in The Star at the time, is of as much importance to the liquor dealers as it is interesting to the temper- ance advocates. When the decision was first announced some of the dealers had an idea it was a loophole for Sunday viola- tions of the law, but a member of the bar interested in the case said to a Star re- porter today that such was not the case. The facts were cited by the court as fol- lows: “It appears that about 11 o'clock the night of Sunday, October 24, 1897, two mr ‘were seen by a policeman to enter the ’ room of the plaintiff in error through ~ front door of the house. The policeiuon went to the back part of the premises and from thence entered the house, and, with the permission of the plaintiff in error, he searched the house, but found no one but the plaintiff in error and his bartender therein; that the rear door leading into the bar room was open, and also the front door, and was told that that was the only way in which he could enter; that the rear part of the place was bolted and the door chained; that the rear part of the build- ing was in a very difapidated condition, and the yard was open, and no inclosure surrounded the place; that there was no other possible way of entering the house; that there was no concealment about the matteg; that any one walking along the sidewalk could look into the bar room, the gas being lighted.” The Condlusions. Chief Justice Alvey, in delivering the opinion, after commerfting on the law and the facts, concluded: “The fact that there was no other way by which the inmates, the parties living and residing in the house, could get in or out, except through the front door of the room in which the bar was located, requires such reasonable construction as’ will en able the parties to exercise the ordinary privilege of householders—that is, the right of ingress or egress; and the mere opening of the door to allow the exercise of such privilege does not constitute, within the meaning of the statute, a failure to keep the bar room closed. If, Mdeed, it had been shown that the door was opened or any other way provided by ‘which even a single individual could have procufed liquor from the bar on Sunday, the statute would have been held to have been violated and the Proprietor would be Hable to punishment. But no such case has been shown.’ No New Privileges. Speaking of the decision to a Star re- yorter this morning, a local attorney said that under the ruling of the court keep- ers of saloons will have to be just as care- ful as they were before. The decision in effect, he said, gives the owner of a saloon the privilege of going through his saloon on Sunday when there 4s no other way of getting into his house. He said he thought even this would not be permitted in the future, for he felt satisfied that the excise board will not grant licenses where the saloon has to be used as a passageway. os ee RAILWAY INTERESTS. Various Organizations in Session in This City Yesterday, In various parts of the city different branches of the railroad companies of the United States yesterday held meetings of importance, not alone to Washington, but to all sections of the country. At the Ar- lington Hotel the Western Passenger Asso- ciation, with about seventy-five members present, representing the entire western part of the United States, was in session in the afternoon. ‘The unusual rush of people to the west on account of the discovery of the enor- mous gold deposits in the Klondike regions was the subject of discussion at the me ing, and, as a matter of course, rates suit- able to the would-be prospectors had to be established, and an argument upon these It ts said @ rate within the the public ‘a meeting of the Joint ‘Traffic Asso. ciation, at which Mr. L. P. Farmer of the Trunk Line Association, Mr. F. E. Donnell Sentral Traffic Association and Mr. ‘aldwell of the Western Traffic As- sociation jointly presided, the question of s considered. The ques- Iping in accordance with bill now. before the Congress of the United States was brought up, and the res- olutions adopted by the National Associa tion of General Passenger and Ticket Agents at their special meeting held at the Arlington Hotel were adopted. A telegram was received from Mr. W. H. Haywood of Boston, statirg that the Bos- ton board of trade, which represented more than 3,000 business houses, heartily in- Gerses the antl-sealping bill. Among those passenger agents of note who are attending the meeting of the New England Passenger Association are: H. S. Hanson of the Boston and Albany railway, J. R. Watson of the Fitchburg railway, A- C. Kendall of the Old Colony railway, S.. W. Cummings of the Central Vermont rail- way and W. R. Babcock of the New York and New England railway. The respective organizaticns completed their business yesterday and the delegates are leaving for their homes. —_———_ Rond Improvement. ‘To the Editor of The Evening Star: In The Evening Star, Saturday, Febra- ary 5, 1898, appeared an article, entitled “Roadside Tre2 Planting,” from the Provi- dence Journal. The ‘theories therein ad- vanced, outside of beautifying the country, are mischievous, and woukl be injurious rather than a benefit to roads. H2dges aleng roads might be allowed, where the variety in use did not have any great spread of root, since the hefige, as well as tre2s will push roots into the most solidly build roadbed, not only causing inequali- ties then, but ever-varying until their de- cay, finally leaving a depression where was a former elevation, or, worse still, leaving many Uttl: ducts’ for the reception and retention of surface drainage. Any one acquainted with a “piece of road any length of time will have observed that after a rain certain places remain muddy long after the road is again wall dry. The nature of the soil has much to do with this, but it will be found almost invariably that in that place shade of trees is the cause of the bad place: Macadam will remedy a muddy road, but a perfect cure involv2s the removal of the overshadowing trees. Practical road-makers, through the legis latures of their several states, have had laws enacted making it the duty of super- visors of roads to reniove all tre2s on each side of all roads in their districts within a given distance, discouraging, instead of en- ecuraging, the planting of trees in the vicinity of highways.’ D. F. COLEMAN. February My, 1898, Kenesnw Avenue Improvements. The amendment to the District appro- priation bill proposed fh the Senate, pro- viding $10,000 for continuing improvements on Kenesaw avenue and Park road from 16th street extended to Klingle ford, has sae approved by the District Commission- depositors of the Freedman’s Savings and Trust Company was held Mcrday night at the Shiloh Baptist Church,and presided over by the Rev. J. Anderson Taylor. Giles B. Jackson, the Richmond lawyer who is gen- eral counsel for the depositors, outlined the work he had done in their behalf and urged each depositor to take an individual in- terest in the matter and to exert individual effort in behalf of the passage by Congress of the bills introduced by Senator Daniel of Virginia and Representative Lamb of the same state for the reimbursement of the creditors of the Freedman’s Bank. A resolution was adopted which recited that there were 61,131 depositors in the Freed- man’s Savings and Trust Company at the time of its failure, 99 per cent of whom were colored people just emancipated from slavery, comparatively ignorant of govern- mental principle, and relying exclusively upon others for counsel and advice. They were advised to deposit their earnings in the bank, being represented that the gov- ernment of the United States was responsi- ble to them for the safety of the deposit. In the year of 1874 the Freedman’s Savings and Trust Company failed and closed its doors to its depositors. The depositors pe- titioned Congress for relief and_ several dividends were declared in favor of the de- positors, amounting to 62 per cent, but a number of depositors have failed to receive anything whatever. Still believing in the good faith of the government, it was then resolved that the efforts of Giles B. Jack- son and his associates were commended, and that the aid of the administration be asked, to the end that an appropriation be made to discharge and pay off every dollar of the money now due upon the claims of the said depositors. The resolution also commended the depositors of Richmond for the part they have taken in appointing counsel to bring the cause before Congress. —— Against Telephone Extension. To the Editor of The Evening Star: We are now in the midst of one of our periodical merry wars against municipal monopoty. time it is the telephone monopoly. For lo t e many years our telephone users have suffered the burden of extortionate charges witheut outery. They know that many cities of the land are furnished with equaily good service for one-half the price charged here or less. They know that a rival company is now seeking a franchise from Congress, agree- ing to reduce the present prices more than one-half. Therefore, they know that th2 company in possession could do the same. But they know also that monopolies do not voluntarily relinquish their extr: dinary profits. That is not the na the creature. Another thing, however, that our telephone users know is that there is a power and authority to which even a municipal monopoly is subservient; that it must use the streets and public spaces over which this power is supreme; that its franchise is given by this power; that the monopoly lives and moves and make its exactions by the will of this r; that this power gave, and can take can modify, restrict or totally re- peal all privileges granted; can prescribe maximum rates, prohibit annoying Mmita- tions on the use of instruments. In other word can give such relief as to make ary an appeal to the courts by a spirited citizen or columns of edi- torial remonstrance by The Star. Now, the question is, why don’t those interested, or a dozen of them, call a mass meeting, which could appoint ‘a committe to wait upon the House and Senate D trict_ committees and ask for the relief which Congress ? Does any one suggest the possibility that such a demand would not be regarded? Suppose—though, that !s a violent sup- position in the face of the well-known op- position of all congressmen to every form of monopoly (!)—suppose such a demand should be disregarded? What then? Why, only that it could not be done in a cor- ner, but must be done openly. Some mem- bers must actively oppose. I will not in- sult the intelligence of the victims by_spe- cifically pointing out the remedy have it in their own hands. Will help themselves, or will they supinely suffer. “Who would be free, themse! strike the blow February 14, 1898.

The streets were filled with gov- ernment clerks and others going to the down-town offices, and a number of pedes- trians saw the man totter and fall fo ward on his face. They ran to his as- sistance and turned him over. He gave two or three gasps and was dead. The Emergency Hospital ambulance was on the scene in a few minutes. Only a glance satisfied the physician that the man was dead, and the police ambulance was sum- moned and the remains were taken to the morgue. Washington was recognized as a man who sold papers in the neighborhood. —>—__. F Commissioners Without Authority. President A. A.

One of the portents of 1897 was the pub- lication of 1,960 novels in these islands. The figures seem to me a poor tribute to our imperial energy. There are some forty millions of us, and we can produce an aver- age of only six novels a day, excluding Sundays, when the romancer is naturally engaged in works of piety. The total out- put last year shows an increase of about a hundred on the returns of 1896. As no statistics of German production under this head are at present avatlable, I cannot say whether our chief commercial rival is out- stripping though I look at the Be telegrams with daily misgiving.
