Mr. Thomas Cropley, No. 1411 334 street, has been informed by the District Commis- sioners that they are without authority to lease him a strip of land at the southeast corner of 38th and M streets.

Mr. Arthur Head, a resident of Towanda, Pa., called at police hi warters this morning and conferred with Inshector Mat- tingly concerning nis son, Joseph\A. Head, BOY WANDERS FROM HOME Arthur Head in the City in Search of His Son. who disappeared from his home a™-week ago. Last night Representative Codding of Pennsylvania called on the police and asked them to take an interest In the case. Discripticn is given in a circular as fol- lows: “Bright, inteiligent boy; seventeen years old; height about five feet six inches; weight about 130 pounds; light complexion; light gray eyes, and light hair. Had on when last seen good blue-black cheviot suit, red sweater, dark gray overcoat, soft black Fedora hat, black pointed shoes, black and red necktie, linen marked with his name or iniiials.”” Mr. Head, the father of the missing boy, is very much worried over his son’s con- duct. Last Thursday night the boy retired about 10 o'clock, as usual, and before go- ing to sleep he requested his sister to put a lighted lamp in his room, which she aid. Nothing more was heard of him dur- ing the night, but the next morning he @id not appear at the breakfast tabie, and it developed that he had gone away. Soon afterward a note left by the missing boy was found. “Discouraged of School.” The note reads: “I have left town. I am discouraged of school and everything else. I don’t know where I will go, but I will go somewhere. Don't make any attempt to follow me. Don’t worry. If all turns out well, will let you known how I am getting on. Hard- ly know why I am doing this. An irre- sistible force inside me is compelling me to do it.” In the note he also left instructions to his brother to care for his chickens. Mr. Head was away from home attend- ing court at the time, but he was notified of his son’s disappeararce, and hurried home and then started in search of the missing ene. Although Joseph had not dis- cussed the subject of war to any extent, his father had an idea that he might have concluded to enter the service. He went directly to the recruiting station at League Island, but his son was not among the new recruits there. After some little de- Jay ke learned that a companion of his son in Towanda had received a letter from aim. Declines to Give Information. This letter was written at Newark, Del. The boy who received the letter refused to produce it or reveal the nature of its con- tents. Mr. Head then went to Newark and made inquiries about his son’s pres- ence there. He was told by railroad men He had that the boy had been there. boarded the midnight train at Towanda without having purchased a ticket, and this had caused a delay in the investigation of his movements. The lad remained about Newark for a leaving on a train for this same day. he left home he had about $40 in his possession, and the police are of the opinion that until this is gone there is but little hope of finding him. When he gets hungry and tired, it is believed he will be glad to return home. ee era FOR STBALING COPPER WIRE. brief period, city the When Members of Gang of Depredators Sentenced Today.

John Singleton, seventy-seven years old, and an inmate of the almshouse, was in- jur2d in @ street railway accident at Penn- sylvania avenue and 4% street about 9 o'clock last night, being knocked down by a west-bound car. Mr. Singleton was wait- ing to take a car going toward the Capitol, and stepped in front of the one going in the opposite direction. The motorman was un- abie to stop his car in tims to prevent the aceident. No. 6 police patrol wagon was called, and the injured man was taken to the Emer- gency Hespital for treatment. His face had been painfully cut, and he had also re- ceived s2veral bruises about his body. Be- cause of his advanced age it was feared bis injuries would prove fatal, but this morning the physicians reported his condi- tion much improved. aes Fire in Schott's Alle ‘Th2re was a fire in Schott’s alley last night about 9 o’clock.

The Commander Will Be Ca: D. Hine, U. Ss. Army. Charles Formerly of the ~ Members of the District of Columbia Na- tional Guard were gratified to learn, Saturday, that it was the intention of the War Department, in view of the brigade being called into the service of the United States, to provide Gen. Harries’ command with a battery of field artillery consisting of six guns. The proposition has rather unexpectedly come to a head. General or- ders from headquarters state that Battery A, Light Artillery, will be mounted and re- organized as a battery of field artillery with 3.2 guns. By far the most important feature in connection with the matter, however, is the appointment of Charles D. Hine, formerly an officer of the United States army, as captain. Just a year ago Gen. Ordway reorga.ized the Light Battery by dismounting it and equipping it with Hotchkiss guns. In view of the prospect of taking the field, Gen. Harries considered a mounted battery abso- lutely essential. It will consist of one hun- dred and fifty men. First Lieut. J. H. Griffith, who recently effected the reorgan- ization of the foot battery, a few days ago began changing tke status of the command to that of a mounted battery. At this juncture Mr. Hine reached the city and volunteered his services, which were at once. accepted. Capt. Hine is a Washington boy and a graduate of the Washington High ,School, entering the United States Military Acade- my at West Point at the close of his High School course. At the encampment of the District National Guard at Fort Washing- ton in the summer of 1889 he volunteered his services as instructor and was attached to the staff of Gen. Ordway. His efforts proved of marked value during the en- campment and won for him a high place in the regard of the officers and men of the guard. Again in 1890 Cadet Hine was de- tailed for this same duty. This was the first time a West Point cadet had ever been ordered away from the academy for a simi- lar purpose. After his graduation in 1891 Licut. Hine was invited by the governor of North Carolina to attend the state encamp- ment, and his services there as inspector were so highly regarded that the next year his services were in demand by the states of North Carolina, Virginia and West Vir- ginia. He attended the state encampment of Virginia. Upon his graduation Mr. Hine was com- missioned second Meutenant in the 6th United States Infantry, stationed at Fort Thomas, Ky., but he did not remain in the army long. Becoming convinced that the railroad business offered brighter prospects for a young man of ambition and energy he resigned his commission after graduat- ing from the Cincinnati Law School and practically began life anew in a new line of work, starting at the very bottom of the ladder. His first employment was that of a railroad brakeman, but he very quickly worked his way up, step by step, and at the present time holds the important office of chief clerk at Cleveland for the Big Four” system. When he tendered his resignation as sec- ond lieutenant Mr. Hine made inquiries through friends in this city of Lieutenant Colonel Schofield, then commanding the army, if in the event of hostilities of any kind in the future he would be permitted to return to the army and fight for his country. General Schofield remarked that the country would be proud of such men as Hine and would speedily avail itself of their services. Realizing that the relations between the United States and Spain were on the verge of rupture and that the National Guard of the District of Columbia would be the first volunteer organization to be called into the service of the United States, Mr. Hine se- cured an indefinite leave of absence from the railroad and hastened to this city, in order to tender his services to General Harries. It has been the policy of the bri- gade's commanding general, jn appointing officers, to secure, as far as possible, men who have had the benefit of thorough mili- tary training. Mr. Hine, of course, more than filled the bill, and, furthermore, is known and respected throughout the bri- gade. General Harries, after consulting with Lieutenant Griffith, decided to tender the command of the battery to the former army officer, who accepted it only after he had received the emphatic assurance of Lieutenant Griffith that the appointment would be satisfactory to the latter and members of the battery. Captain Hine and Lieutenant Griffith are thoroughly in har- meny, and have already inaugurated a plan that will make their command a model and thoroughly efficient organization in a very short time. Captain Hine will remain with the Dis- trict National Guard only during the pe- riod that hostilities remain a possibility. When international difficulties have been firally adjusted he will return to his busi- bess in the west, and Lieutenant Griffith, to whom credit is due for organizing the battery, will again assume command. —— BUILDING OPERATIONS. of District Inspector Month of March. The inspector of buildings has submitted to the Engineer Commissioner the follow- ing report for the month of March, 1898, of the building operations in the District, the character of the structures, number erected and the aggregate value being given in the order named: Brick dwellings, 77, $319,550; frame dwell- irgs, 13, $17,350; brick repairs, 80, $257,181; frame repairs, 46, $6,846: stores, 4, $25, stables, 5, $8,440; offices, 3, apartment houses, 13, $52,500; engine and boilers, 3, $9,500; chapel and cloister, 1, $130,000; workshop, 1, $100; ovens, 2, $550; vault, 1, $265; manure pit, $75; forge, 1, $50; grand stand, 1, $2,500: eds, 28, $1,056.

Principal Montgomery of the Colored High Schools has made a Tequisition on the District Commissioners for 1,000 45- callber cartridges, to be used by the cadet corps. As the cartridges are to be blank ones, to be used in practice, the requisition is devoid of special significance, and does not indicate warlike intentio of the boys.

The old Coreoram Art Gallery is now as full of art treasures ageit used to be years aso. The various icommittees of the Art Loan Collection have been busy for several days past in arranging: the beautiful arti- cles in position. Most of the pictures were aready hurg yesterday, and all of them will be in place tonight, when a private view will be given to the press. The south wall of the main picture gallery will be devoted to the display of several magnifi- cent tapestries from the Ffoulke collec- tion. Workmen were busy hanging these end the pictures that cover the rest of the wall space yesterday. The McCormick collection from Chicago, ten pictures in ull, portraits by-old masters, has the cen- tral place on the north wall. The French ambassador has loaned, among other pic- tures, @ portrait of his grandmother, paint- ed by a celebrated artist of the period. Sargent’s famous picture of Ada Rehan and valued at $10,000 hes the central place on thé west wall. Joe Jefferson hes loan- ed an old painting, one of the most pleas- ing portrayals of childish figures. --Mr. Ralph Cross Johnson has loaned a Sir Joshua Reynolds portrait, among other pic- tures, and Mr. Thomes Nelson Pege pic- tures by Romney and Thomes Lawrence. A recent portrait by Chartrain of Mrs. Richard Townsend: will attract attention, as also the portrait of the British am- bassador by Benjamin Constant. Laces and Fans. In the side gallery devoted to textiles, laces and fans, the collection is said by judges to be the very finest ever grouped together in this country. The textiles banging around the valls make a fine background for the other treasures dis- Ylayed. Members of the ladies’ committees who have made this splendid collection fondled the beautiful articles yesterday as they labeled and laid each one in the cases, where it could be seen to the best advan- tage. The laces have come from several cities and from the most notable collec- tors. Some are historical, because of their ownership, and others are almost priceless because the art of their manufacture is lost. All the great .lace-making countries and epochs are represented by exquisite specimens, some delicate as a cobweb and others heavy as cloth. The fans are equal- ly valuable as historical relics or as the work of famous fan painters. The minia- tures have the east gallery to themselves and make a beautiful display. The loan collection opens to the public Easter Mon- day. Every effort has been made to make the first evening an especially brilliant oc- casion. It will be held two weeks, open every day from 10 until 6 o'clock, and on Sundays, April 17 and April 24, from 2 to 6.

Two men stopped him on the street, he says, and asked the time. He was about to reply to them when one of them grabbed him by the collar and held him, while his companion did the robbing. He says he made no outcry. ee An Eagle's Daily Visit. A big bald eagle has recently been seen flying high above the White House and other public buildings in its vicinity.
