aud Is Negotiating for Other Property.

The California syndicate, which recently
made the large purchases Of land along the
line of Connecticut avenue extended, are ex-
tending their operations to the farm lands lying
along the Tenleytown electric road beyond the
District line.
A few weeks ago Mr.. John e. Beall purchased
two large farms in that vicinity, and he has nov
sold one Of these-the Belm ont farm-to the
California syndicate. This property contains
lbs acres and lies partly in Montgomery
county and partly in the District The
price paid is understood to be eI6O,OO0.
The Belmont farm adjoins Chevy Chase.
which is owned by Mr.. John G. Bullitt and
others. 1t is stated that the California syndi-
cate has about completed negotiations for the

DISTRICT DAY IN THE HOUSE,
Bills Of Local Interest Which May be
Taken Up Mouday.

Next Monday will be District day in the
House and with good luck considerable legisls-
ton will be accomplished. There are already
seven bills on the House calendar re-
lating to the District, most of
which will probably be considered
on Monday. The first of these relates to the
shortening of the term of imprisonment in the
Jail and work house of the District on account
OF good behavior. Another vests in the vestry
Of Christ church all the right and title to square
south of square 1892 in Washington.
Both these bills have already passed the Sem
ate and the former is introduced in the House
without amendment; the latter has merely q
formal amendment better describing the prop
erty.
THREE RAILROAD BILLS
are also on the calendar. One amends the
charter Of the Anacostia and Potomac river
railroad, which has also passed the Senate,
but is slightly amended as it will
come before the House; the second
is also Senate bill, that amending the charter
OF the Georgetown and Tenleytown railway,
while the third amends the charter Of the Eek
lngton and Soldiers Home railroad.
Besides these bills there are two tax bills on
the calendar, both by Mr.. Grout; one prescribes
the time for sale and for notices of sales of
property in the District of Columbia for over
due taxes and the other fixes the rate of
interest to be charged on arrearages of general
and special taxes now due the District of Co
lumbia if paid within a specified time.
1t Is the opinion of the committee that this
entire lot of bills will be passed with little or
no opposition. Most of them are merely formal
bills, altering slightly acts already passed.
THE EcKINGToN AND SOLDIERS HOME RAILWAY
BILL
The only bill likely to bring out much discus
sioE is the one amending the charter of the
lexington and Soldiers Home railroad. This
bill authorizes the company to extend its tracks
and run its cars through the following named
streets: Beginning at the intersection of
New York avenue and 5th street northwest
south along 5th street northwest to G street
northwest. .and thence west along G street north
west to the east line of 18th stree northwest and
also, beginning at the present terminus of Its
cemetery branch on the east side OF Lincoln
avenue, and thence northerly along Lincoln
avenue to point opposite the entrance to
Glenwood cemetery, and also, beginning at the
Intersection OF New York avenue and North
Capitol street, thence north along
said street to the south boundaries OF the
grounds OF the Soldiers Home: provided,
that If electric wires or cables are used to pro-
pei Its cars over said streets from New York
avenue and 5th to 18th street northwest the
same shall be placed under ground.
The company, however. is authorized to use
overhead wires on its North Capitol street
branch and also to increase its capital stock
Sl15,0OO for the purpose of extending and
equlpplng Its line provided.
