Says He Was Elected President.

BUT HE COULDN'T CONVINCE THE POLICE AND
WAS SENT To THE FARM FOR TWO MONTHS.
A man about sixty years old, whose general
appearance was that of tramp, attracted some
attention on Pennsylvania avenue yesterday
and this morning He was dressed in rusty
suit of clothes and straw hat. His heavy
boots were covered with mud. Policeman Jor-
dan was surprised this morning when he ar
rested the man to learn that his prisoner had
been elected President of the United States

Police Court. When arraigned on a charge of
vagrancy the prisoner answered.: Il have moth

about two months.

leford announced that Benjamin Harrison. of
Indiana, had received fifteen votes for presi-

To the Editor Of THE EVENING STAR:
Your correspondent p, in The STAR of the
9Th inst, says: "An real-estate owners, il
they want to make money on their land, should
plot according to the CITY," Now that p. has
informed what we ''should" do, perhaps he
will be kind enough to assist us in finding out
how to do it. The ten acres which am de-
sirous Of putting i,to the market is ON or near,
as suppose, Monroe and 34th streets, neither
of which streets is within the city limits, and.
of course, no part of which has ever been sur
veyed or laid out Now, as by the new rulings,
squares may be Of any width, from 800 feet to
600, and the streets somewhere between 60 and
100 feet, win p. kindly give me some clue as to
the length and breadth Of the ten or twelve
squares lying between my land and the city
streets? Shall / assume $50 feet between streets
or 700? Suppose I assume $50, and my neigh
Dor on the west 500, and my neighbor on the
east 700. Or must We wait till ali the owners
on any of the 6 to 10 miles Of any given street
can agree as to the depth Of the lots? II is re-
ported that on certain occasion the chaplain
of the Senate offered the petition ssGive Us
more brains, Lordl More brains." And this
seems, at the present, about the most pressing
want, outside Boundary, in order to find where
the streets are to be located, unless p. VIII

MIR. REED STIRRED UP.
He Replies Warmly to Covert Attack
by Friends Of MIR. Burrows.

An unexpected feature was developed in the
tight against the abrogation of the O'Clock
adjournment in the House this morning. Reed
and Cannon, two of the speakership candi-
dates for the next Congress, are members of
the committee on rules, and joined in the re-
port, while contending that it did not go far
enough toward restricting the minority. In
this some of Mr.. Burrows friends thought
they saw an opportunity to discredit these two
rivals OF their champion, and by clever move
first Cannon and then Reed
WERE THROWN UPON THE DEFENSIVE
before their party. Assuming that the abro-
cation was part of the bargain with General
Weaver, Mr.. Cutcheon, who is Mr. Burrows
first lieutenant, asked Mr. Cannon why he and
MIR. Reed did not bring in minority report.
The point was seized upon at once by all the
supporters OF MIR. Burrows, while that gentle
man sat silently in his place with arms folded
across his breast Cannon replied that to
bring In minority report was to assist filibus-
terers In maintaining their control of the
House. This was not satisfactory to his critics,
and several questions were called out at him
from that side of the House. He was asked
why he was helping the democrats to carry out
their bargain with General Weaver, and con-
siderable earnestness was shown. Mr.. Reed
quickly saw the drift of the questions, and the
covert attack that lay in them. He got the
floor and
MADE AN EARNEST, IMPAssIoNED DEFENSE
OF his position, addressing himself directly to
his critics on his own side. He spoke with a
vigor unusual even with him, and there could
be no doubt that he saw the purpose Of his
rivals. On the vote Reed and Cannon voted
with the democrats in support of the resolu-
ton. Burrows and Mckinley voted the other
way. leading their friends with them. Only a
few of the earnest friends of Mr.. Reed. who
saw into the situation, came to his support.
On the standing vote less than 80 of his party
were with him. The republican vote against
the resolution was about so. This, however,
would not give fair estimate of the strength
OF the two combinations-McKinley and Bur-
rows against and Reed and Cannon for-as a
number of friends of Reed and Cannon voted
against them, not having the question of per-
sonal prestige in mind. The satisfaction to
their rivals lay in having improved the oppor-
tunity to dispute Mr.. Reeds leadership. This
they did artfully

HE OBTAINS AN INJUNCTION on THE AMOUNT
AWARDED TO SAMUEL STRONG.
To-day Gen. B. F. Butler filed bill in equity
against Samuel Strong, Secretary Fairchild, as
agent of the District of Columbia, and the Dis
trict of Columbia, to restrain the payment of
the award made by the arbitrators last week in
the two cases of Strong against the District of
Columbia. The complainant, represented by
Mr.. o. ID. Barrett sets forth his employment
in the cases by the defendant and claims that
in those and other matters the defendant is in
debted to him in SAC, 900. He prays an injunc-
ton to restrain the agent of the District from
paying the award, and the defendant Strong,
from receiving the same, and that the case be
referred and the Indebtedness due him be as
certained and decreed. Judge Cox made a
temporary restraining order, returnable Janu-

Strong in the case filed by Mrs. Campbell, adj
ministratrix of Robert Campbell, ON Saturday
It is said that Mr.. Strong left his home on Fri
day night last, and has not been seen since.

To Rival the Baltimore and Ohio.


MIR. SPENCER TALKED OF FOR PRESIDENT OF THE
WEST VIRGINIA CENTRAL.
A Baltimore special to the New York Tribune
says: Recent conferences between ex-President
Spencer, Of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad,
and Senator German, ex-senator Camden, of
West Virginia, and others interested in the
West Virginia railroad, lead to the belief in
railroad and financial circles that Mr.. Spencer
will become the president of the West Virginia
line, which is likely, sooner or later, to become
a formidable rival of the Baltimore and Ohio.
Messrs. Spencer and Camden paid visit
to Philadelphia a few days ago, and,
with Pennsylvania railroad officials and
also with men in that city interested in West
Virginia Central. Senator German, as direc-
tor, strenuously opposed the removal of Mr..
Spencer from the Baltimore and Ohio presi-
aency. Senator Germans plan then was to
bring the two roads into closer connection, but
it is now said that he would like to see Mr..
Spencer president of the West Virginia Cen
trail, with view to rivaling the Baltimore and
Ohio. The roads are not on the most friendly
terms, although the president Of the Baltimore
and Ohio is interested in both. But after the
recent Baltimore and Ohio election, one of the
directors, who voted for q change, said he
could see no reason why there should not be
the most friendly relations between the
two roads, as In the matter Of coal shipments
the one was largely dependent upon the other.
The West virginia has, however, had in con-
temp lation for some time the building Of q
branch to connect with the Pennsylvania road,
or 1t might be possible that the connection will
be ma de through the Cumberland and Penn
sylvania, which strikes the Pennsylvania at
Mount Savage Junction. Ex-senator b. G..
Davis is now president Of the West Virginia
Central, but as he likes to take life easy and
possesses an abundance Of wealth to do 30, il
is supposed that he would not be unwilling to
let the burden fall on other shouldsrs.

DISTRICT GOVERNMENT,
THE PROPOSED FREE-wArER bull.

Major Raymond is satisfied with the form
which the so-called free-water bill has taken
since its last revision by the Commissioners
Major Raymond was at first inclined not to IA
vor the bill, but several considerations infiu-
enced him to approve it after amendments
suggested by him had been adopted. An
amendment which he considers important is
the one authorizing the Commissioners to make
regulations and to impose water rates in cases
where there is wasteful use of water Major Ray
mond said to STAR reporter to-day that the
city did not need money SO much as it needs
water. The meter regulations were enforced
by the Commissioners, not SO much to increase
the revenues as to reduce the waste of water
He did not think ordinarily that a free-water
system was wise, but there were peculiar fnan-
cial conditions existing here that made the plan
worth trying. The abolition of domestic water
rates would he said relieve the water depart
ment of a great bother,

tine they have ever come 20 M with anything

gusted by Father Donnelly-to place the unioa

bring the roads in from the south. That would
relieve South Washington Of its gridirou a

would result IN union depot az 9Th and stresta,
where the Pennsylvania depot now ID. I want
