MT. PLEASANT,S RAILROAD.
The Citizens Committee Answer q Let.
ter From President Hurt.

The committee Of Mount Pleasant citizens
delegated to carry on negotiations with the
Washington and Georgetown Railroad Com
pany In the hope Of obtaining better transpor-
tation facilities up the 14th street hill have re-
celved letter from President Hurt of that
road, In which he sets forth the inability of the
company to do anything at present. He pre-
sented figures to show the lack Of patronage
on the extension line and argued that the re-
suits hardly indicate a necessity for running
more cars on the hill line at present. To this
letter Mr.. John G. Judd, as chairman OF the
Mount Pleasant committee, has addressed a
reply, in which he sets forth that in the opinion
OF the committee, Notwithstanding the showing
made by figures. the Mount Pleasant road now
carries more passengers to the mile than the
entire avenue line, the latter being ten times as
long as the former. The committee claimed
that ii the scent tax is taken off the travel
VIII more than double on the line, and that the
increase will come from those who never use
the line Mt all, and thus more than recoup the
company for any supposed loss by dropping
the rate of cents for half mile ride. Again,
they claim that there are more passengers
picked up on the one-half mile distance than
are picked up on the first half mile of any
other of the routes. The latter are carried to
their destination for cents or ticket, while
the former are charged cents Cor cents and
ticket to go the same distance.
The committee demands better service. more
particularly at night, a thorough system of
travel instead of changing cars. an immediate
stoppage of the unjust and extortionate Scent
extra fare" and that the through rate shall be
the same rs on any other of the lines, namely,
cents or q ticket

HEARINGS IN POLICY CASES.
They are Taken Up in the Police Court
Yesterday Afternoon.

In the Police Court yesterday VIM. johnson,
n colored man. was charged with writing policy.
Prosecuting Attorney Armes said that there
were pending over one hundred cases and gave
notice that during his examination of witnesses
he would like the counsel to be present Mr..
A. e. Williams appeared for the defendant
Officer McNealy testified that he found Johnson
in the second-story front room on 10th street
between and L streets, with the papers and
numbers 5, 9, 16; saw q colored man put down q
dollar.
Officer Hanley testified that number Of men
were in the room and two escaped by jumping
through the window blinds McNealy placed
johnson under arrest and he o. said he was
responsible.
Four colored men who were captured at the
time testified that they were there; saw books
on the table, but they never played policy.
The court said that conviction could not
be had OH this testimony. but the question
with him was as to the probability that the
defendant promoted. backed or was interested
in the game and he held the case for the gran
jury.
Edward Ingraham, a colored man. arrested
with the others at the aforementioned num-
Der, was tried for a similar offense, the officers
testifylng that Ingraham appeared to be writ
ing and at the station said Sl1.5 belonged to
the book. Further examination was waived
and the case went to the grand jury.
George Dixon, a colored man. was tried on a
similar charge at a barber shop in South Wash
ington. Officer Hutton testified as to arresting
him and further examination was waived.
John Adams, arrested by Sergeant Myers,
was charged with permitting policy on Virginia
avenue between 27th and 2sth streets north
west. Mr.. Armes called John O'Donnell, who
the day before had given bail for playing policy,
and Mr. Williams objected. The court sus-
tanned this objection and the case was dis
missed
