The Failure of the Fruit and Vegetable
Crops Cutting Down Hotel Profits.

The Failure of the Fruit and Vegetable
Crops Cutting Down Hotel Profits.
A proprietor of leading hotel in Pittsburg
stated yesterday that it requires from so to 75
cents more per head each day to keep guests
than it did at this time last year. The hotel
rates have not advanced, but this amount
represents SO much of cut in the profits. The
failure of the fruit and vegetable crops is the
cause of the trouble.
In discussing the subject further the hotel
man said: 1T costs me SIS day now for the
fruit that last year purchased for IS. At that
time both fruit and vegetables were drug on
the market This year they are a rarity.
Grapes, pears, plums, peaches and other fruits
are very scarce. ard the quality of those you
buy is very poor. The grapes are small, only
half ripened and full of seeds. Pears are sold
for IS per box and peaches at So. Each box
contains about hundred. and you see how
much apiece they cost. If the peaches are
handled few times they become soft, and
scarcely fit to eat. This is one of the off years.
as last season was good one.
Vegetables are also scarce. Tomatoes
beans, peas. cabbage and corn are much higher
The corn in particular is no good. The ears are
small and scrubby, and contain few grains.
You can't put it OIL the table in the cob, but it
must be served as succotash with beans and
other vegetables

DETECTING TO THE AWARD.
Demurrer Of the Rock Creek Railroad
Company.

As stated in yesterdays STAR the Commits
sioncrs gave a hearing to parties interested in
the award of the marshars jury recently
selected to assess the damages to private prop
erty incident to the construction of the Rock
Creek hallway Company. 1t will be remem-
bered that in granting the charter to the rail-
road company Congress did so with the provis0
that they open Connecticut avenue $50 feet in
width, and inserted the special provision in the
act that in case they received five-sixths Of the
right Of way by dedication the Commissioners
were authorized to appoint jury to assess the
damages in the remainder Of the right of away.
The marshals jury, which met some days ago,
awarded the Green heirs 5000 for the 600 feet
taken for the road. and 81 900 for the 900 feet
of the Shoemaker tract. The Rock Creek Rail-
way Company. through their attorney. Mr.. II.
Z. Davis, demurred, holding that the award OF
the marshals jury in the Green case was exor-
bitant. and asked that the Commissioners hear
him OH the subject Accordingly today was set
apart for the hearing, and Mr.. Davis, in behalf
OF the railroad, and Messrs Henry Wise Gar
nett, VIM. A. Gordon, Osceola Green and c. c.
Duncanson, representing the Green heirs, were
present. Mr.. Davis wanted the Commissioners
to appoint another jury of twelve men instead
half Of the Green estate held that the Rock
Greek Railroad Company had no right to de-
mand a new jury or demur even at the award,
as the matter was between the owners of the
property and the District Commissioners, and
not between the railroad company and the
property holders. The Commissioners have
reserved their decision.

DWELLINGS IN ALLEYS.
Hearing Before the District Commits
sioners on House Bill 1851.

Yesterday afternoon the friends and foes of
House bill 1881, which provides that after its
passage it shall be unlawful to erect dwellings
in alleys less than 40 feet in width. met the
District Commissioners in the board room at
the District building. The bill was championed
by Messrs. George NJ. Oyster and W. C. Dodge
who spoke at length of the benefits to be de-
rived from its passage. They said it wasn't
fair to crowd poor people into alleys. which
were originally intended TO have stables and
not residences fronting on them. and then
spoke of the unsanitary condition of affairs
which was bound to exist in alleys inhabited
by poor people and whiek really did exist in
many of the alleys today. Further, il wasn't
just to expose the residents whose houses
abutted on the alleys. to the dangers of an
epidemic, which WAS likely to break out at any
time.
The opponents Of the bill were represented
In Messrs. Vim. Mayse. August Gragcs and E.
L. Mclntlre. who urged among other things
the individuality of the passage of the bill
from the fact that it was cIass legislation and
would be the means of driving the poor people
out of the city away from their work
Further. that 1t wasn't equitable.
Mr.. Dodge replied TO these arguments by
saying that II wasn't class legislation and Sec
ond, that 1t was always the case that the inter-
ests of the few should give way to the interests
community the interests of the minority should
not be considered.
Commissioner Hine said he was in favor of the
bill, but the entire board would have to pass
upon the sub ject before their reply was sub
United to Congress-
