Misses Clara Hense, Florence Ella and Amelia and Anna Luckel, and MR. Will Soon Leave for the Seashore to Recuperate. District Commisstoner John W. Ross, it was reported today, will not be able to re- sume his official duties for some time. He is still confined to his bed at his apart- ments in the Varnum, although strong enough to sit up a short while every day. As soon as he is able to travel he will leave for the seashore, probably, to recover the strength he has lost during his three weeks’ illness. He has been suffering from rheumatism, weakness of the heart and in- digestion, and is reported to be quite broken in health. Of course, he is not attending to any cfficial matters, merely attaching his signature to those papers which require the signatures of the three Commissioners. His illness has caused much uneasiness to his family and friends, among the latter being numbered about every citizen of the Dis- trict acquainted with him, and the report of his convalescence will be received with universal gratification. ——_—_ Hotel Arrival Arlington—J.

Projected Company for Control of Trade in This City. It is announced on behalf of those who are crying to organize in this city a com- pany with a large capital to carry on the mitk business thet some time this week the names of the directors of the proposed company will be made known. People in this city whe have money have been invited to go into this enterprise, and it is claimed the promoters of this enterprise are making progress. One of the promoters told a Star reporter this morning that they had purchased land in this city where a building for a milk depot is to be erected, and he added that the deed had been placed on record, but enly a nominal consideration was named, which accounted for the fact, he thought, that the transaction had attracted no at- tention. He did not state the location of the ‘ground which he said had been pur- chased. it is also stated by Mr. Haller, architect, as already published in The Star, that he ts Preparing plans for the proposed building. As far as can be learned by inquiry among the dealers in milk in this city it ap- pears, as already stated in The Star, that representatives of the promoters have ob- tained very generally from them the prices at which they would be willing to sell out, and in some cases what is called an option has been given, which provides that the business can be purchased at any time within three months at the figures named. _Tbese options can be taken up at any time by the payment of the money name< but it is said by some of the dealers hal they do not know of any case where it has yet been done. According to some, the plan of the promoters seems to be to get an idea of the amount of money that will be necessary to spend in order to obtain a con- trol of the bulk of the milk business, and then to organize a company and issue stock Santiago.
