Builcirg Operations and Transfers of Real Estate—Serap on Herring Hill — Other News. The reply of the Commissioners to a letter of Mr. A. C. Dunn, that the notes issued by the old corporation of Georgetown are now worthless, has been received with a good | deal of surprise by the old residents of this section. Mr. Dunn in his letter inclosed an old $5 note issued by the Georgetown city authorities, when this section of the Dis- | trict was a separate municipality, and ask- ed that the Commissioners redeem it. It is argued that when Georgetown was merged into a portion of Washington the latter city became responsible for all legitimate debts. It is known that at the time of the consolidation Georgetown had quite a large sinking fund on hand. This place was far foes being a bankrupt locality, and its ancial affairs were much better off than th of Washington. The notes issued in years gone by, under proper qualifications, are regarded to be just as binding at pres- ent as they were when Georgetown was a separate city. It is perhaps proper to add that only a few of the old notes are still outstanding. Most of those now out are held by collectors, the great bulk of the notes having long since been redeemed Permits Obtain Joseph Schlaat has received a permit to blockade the sidewalk in front of 1236 82d: Street, pending improvements being made to the building. The present structure will be thoroughly overhauled, a new front placed in, and the height made to conform with the building next door, known as the West Washington Hotel. Martin 8. Lichty has permission to re- build the entrance to 3219 P street, without suleveine or increasing the present projec- tions. John Crowley has a permit for the re- building of the show window at the south- west corner of 32d and O streets, under due cougtions regulating the construction of suc! W. H. Rackey has given out the contract for building a two-story private stabie in the rear of 123 Potomac street. Arrests Made. ‘There were lively times Saturday night on that portion of “Herring Hill” near 27th and O streets. A crowd of colored men be- came involved in a general fight, during which several pistol shots were fired and razors and knives drawn, though so far as kndéwn no one was injured. Policemen Saunders and Grove secured the names of the leading members of the party, and this morning at 3 o'clock arrested nearly all of the participants. Their names are Lan- donis Johnson, aged sixteen; Fred Jones, aged nineteen; hee Perry, aged twenty- one; Frank Dixon, aged twenty-nine; Rob- ert’ Blackburn, aged ‘yy, and Paul Wright, aged twenty-two. Minor Repairs Needed. Among the many minor repairs necded in this section, according to the report filed, the following are mentioned: Fire plug at Jefferson and K streets leaking badly, while at 31st and K streets there is a washout, caused by the Sunday morning fire at Kuhn’s cooper shop. The scales in front of 3226 K street are in a dangerous cerdition. There is a big hole in the stde- walk adjoining the pump on 32d street oi posite T street. The manhole at 32d and K streets has sunk, leaving a bad depres- sion. The hydrant at 28th and Dumbarton avenue is leaking and needs attention. Sales of Real Estate. Arthur M. Wheeler has bought of Mary E. Brown, at a nominal consideration, a Portion of lot 280, in the square east of square 1206. The property is located on U street near 35th street. Emilie M. Darneille has sold to John H. Chesley and Emily Buck a part of square 12s This property fronts on the east side of 3ist street, a shcrt distance north of Q street. The trustees of the Farmers and Mechan- ies’ National Bank have a tax deed from the District government for the east twen- ty-three feet and a fraction of lot 75, in square 1220. The property is located on the south side of N street between 33d and 34th streets. Brevities. Sergt. James Haney of the seventh pre- cinet is on the sick list, and during his absence Policeman John Sullivan is act- ing sergeant. The Potomac Electric Light and Power Company has recelved permission from the Commissioners to place heavier ° wires across the Aqueduct bridge, In order to cerry a stronger current over the structurs. Tomorrow afternoon at 6 o’clock the mem- bers of the commandery will assemble at the hall and participate in the joint visita-. tion, which will be held in the music hall of Masonic Temple, corner of 9th and F gtreets. The commandery will appear in full Templar uxriform. The members will not march to the hall, but will use the streat cars. Mr. William P. Dodge of 3106 P street, a well-known citizen, died lionday at his residence, at the advanced age of seventy- nine years. Mr. Je was a native of Washington county, Md., and ‘ived his education there. About fifteen Ts ago he removed to Washington and secured em- ployment with the Chesapeake and Poto- mac Telephone Company, in which connec- tion he made a large number of acquaint- ances. leaves two children, one a daughter, Mrs, Wynkoop, the wife of Rev. Mr. Wynkeop,formerly pastor of the .West- ern Presbyterian Church of Washington, ad engaged in missionary work in India. ‘her child, mn Dodge, is a resident of Cahtornia. Mrs. Julia Cloughtcn, who lives with Mrs. Dyer at 1060 30th street, made an unsuc- cessful attempt to commit suicide Monday shortly before 6 o’clock am. About that hour some one entered her room and found her lying on‘the floor, sh> having swal- lowed an ounce of laudanum. Policemen Pratt and Connors were notified, and the patrol wagon quickly carried the unfortu- nate yon to the Emergency Hospital, where she was resuscitated after some difficulty. At the hospital the name of Mrs. Annie was given.

McHale,.the California boy, had left the coast and should be in Washington in time to participate in Monday’s gam2 with the Phillies. McHale left Sacramento Monday night, and if his trip does not con- gume as much time as did Second Baseman Reitz’s, he will reach Washington Saturday night or Sunday morning. Capt. Brown will breathe a sigh of relief when McHale dons a s2natorial uniform, as it will permit him to engineer the game from the bench. No matter how brilliant a game Capt. Brown plays the unreasonable ‘‘fans” have set their minds on seeing McHale, and they will not be content until he has gone into center field. This antagonism to Brown has hurt his play, and in a way, the 2ntire nine, as the men know they «are playing under a Eandicap on their own grounds. Jimmy McHale is very muct the same sort of player as Brown, fast-en his feet, a good fielder and heady playéy, but only a mod- crate batter, “It Is tos be hoped that he will bat over 0 at the start and assist the club In winning games, as the aggregation has not yet got its eyes on the ball, of course leaving out Doyle, McGuire and Gettman. GENERAL IN BILITY COMMANDED. Yesterday's Defeat of the Washing- tons by the Boston Forces. In the engagement between the Boston and Washington forces yesterday the lat- ter were commanded by General Inability, and his control over his men when at the firing point was very effective, his influ ence preventing any serious injury being inflicted on the ‘enemy, particularly at points in the contest when good marksman- ship was most necessary. On the other hand, the battery of the invading force was almost perfectly Worked, under the command of Mr. Willig, who, but a junior officer, displayed the Anowledge of a vet- ftdr} shot. The de- eran and landed shot fenders of Washingto Ked their bat- tery under the comma junner Amole, and had his work at the commencement of the engagement been as effective as wher defeat stared his followers in the face, vietory would, in all ability, have perched in their neig! rep But it was a desperately fought Sattld, and had the ammunition of the natorial army not run out in the ninth charge, and had not errors been made eader -in the contest— but that is another story. The visitors opened up on Amole in the first inning, two bits, a base on bails and a pretended steal giving them three runs. In the third a hit, a wild pitch, a sacrifice and a long fly added another to their score. They got two -nore in the fifth and another in the hth on hits and one or two errors. ‘The Senators didnot score until the fifth inning, when a singlerand two bad throws gave them two runs.. They obtained an- other in the next inning, Doyle placing the ball in the bleacheps. Im the last inning McGuire's grounder ‘was juggled by Low: and a joment later allowed him to r second en Wrigley’s bounder, the going out. Wagner went out, he hav succeeded Reitz, who split his head in co!- hsion with Tenry, and Brown went to first ole second, and both men scored ‘arrell's single, who batted for Amole.

The Atlantics defeated the Orients of Anacostia, the scores being 27 to 18 and 9 to 8. Base Notes. Rain prevented the New York-Baltimor2 game. Arthur Wagner relieved Second Baseman Reitz after the third inning yesterday and played exceptionaily well, taking care of everything that came his way. Wagner is not quite Limself yet, but he is a good player and will very soon prove his value to the club. Amele pitched a fairly good game, but Willis did better. Had the Senators been in batting trim a different story would very likely have been, told today of yes- ierday’s game. That catch of Selbach’s in the seventh inning a corker, and goes into the sensational class. If the little German Sen- ator will cross the grand stand out of his observations his work will be fully 25 per cent better at the end of the season. The Senators left for Brooklyn last night, and will open a series of four games on the Bridegrooms’ grounds today. Winnie Mercer will probably do the twirling to- day and will most likely have Joe Yeager, the Atlantic Leaguer of last year, as his opponent on the rubber. The advantage of the double umpire rule was never better proved than by the absence of Umpire Curry in Monday’s game. It is perhaps tco much to expect of one umpire that he should decide close base plays at a distance. There were three decisions Monday by Snyder agatnst the home team in close succession, two of which, at least, would have been different had there been a base umpire. Wrigley Was called out at second, while one of the Boston players who was where the umpire should have been declared that the runner was on the base when he was touched. When Doyle was declared out at first base the base umpire would not have been put- ting on his pa‘ with his back to the play when it was made. Captain Brown was put out of the game for insisting upon the claim that the umpire didn’t see the play. CHAMPION RELAY RUNNERS. Central High School Tenm Victorious at Philadelphia. Again the Central High School boys have won the title of the champion scholastic mile relay team of the country. Their vic- tory, Saturday, at the annual spring meet of the University of Pennsylvania, at Philadelphia, over the Central High School of Brooklyn, the Central High School of Fhiladelphia, and the Central and North- east Manual Training School of Philadel- phia was as easily won as was that of last year, although the time for the mile was siower by five seconds than was made last year—3.41. The cause of the slow time was due to the strong wind that was blow- ing and from the fact that the boys were not pushed, ‘inishing fifty yards in ad- vance of the Central High School of Phil- adelphia, which received second place. The team was made up of G. W. Curtiss, eap- tain; C. D. Young. W. G. Stuart, P. Wil- son and Roy Shaffold. Captain Curtiss, who ran the second quarter, is the local High Schcol champion for the pole vault, running high jump and two-twenty hurdles. Stuart, who is the local High School cham- pion for the half and one mile runs, ran fourth. Young, who has the record for the one hundred and two hundred and twenty yard dashes, ran second, and Wilson, a new man, who has fine material for a good runner, ran first. Last year’s team Was made up of Harry Ruff, Hyder B. Farrow, George Curtiss, Charlie Young and William Stuart, so this year's team has only two new men. The boys reached Washington yesterday morning at 7:30 o’cleck and were received by a howling mob of enthusiastic students, who extended to them a royal welcome. On the opening of schcol yeerday morn- ing the students assembled in the exhioi- ton hall and to the team was formally ex- tended the wishes. and .good will of the students by Principal Hughes. The mem- bers of the teamh individually addressed the students. a aa EE OE BO BF SSS 000 A Valuable Whist Partner. One of the most brilliant pairs of the re- cent womdn’s whist congress at Philadel- phia did not qualify for the finals, on ac- count of the indisposition of Miss de Si- bour of this city, who was unable to play the second night. In the consclation match ‘Thursday night she and Mr. Wooten made the highest score in their section. Wooten claims that she is the cqual of any partner he kas"ever had, and that her intuition of the line of play her partner wishes to adopt enables her to sensibly second all his ef- forts. “Up Guaras” ‘Wins a the Chester PEP: CONSUMPTION TREATED FREE!
