A QUARTER-MILLIoN DEAL.
The Firm of Barnes Weaver Negotiate
the Sale of the Moore Farm.

The Firm of Barnes Weaver Negotiate
the Sale of the Moore Farm.
The most important real estate transaction
of the week, and one of the most important
made in long time in the results that are
likely to accrue from it to the northeastern
section, was the sale of the old Moore farm,
adjoining LIE Droit Park on the east. This
sale was made by the well-known and enter
prising firm of young brokers, Messrs. Barnes
& Weaver. of No. 500 F street northwest
The tract contains forty-fve acres, and the
price paid for it was $500 per acre, or
quarter of a million dollars in all. This
sum Is one of the largest involved in
any real estate transaction made in
Washington in long time, and
the firm OF young brokers who negotiated the
sale are to be congratulated over their suct ess
in effecting such big deal. The purchase
was made by Messrs. Thomas j. Fisher & Co.,
who are understood to have acted for syndi-
cate of wealthy Washington capitalists.
The Moore farm is the key to all that sec
tion lying east Of and beyond LIE Droit Park,
and the fact that the late owners SO long re-
fused to sell seriously retarded the develop
ment of the city and suburbs in that direction
The land was continued in use for
farming purposes long after all the
vided and improved, thus forming a small
agricultural region in the midst of the city.
After the death of the late George Moore his
heirs, of whom there are several, hung onto the
land until the sale just negotiated by Messrs
Barnes y Weaver. The Moore heirs have re-
served for themselves an acre of ground
surrounding the old homestead
The tract lies, as already stated, east of LIE
Droit Park and west of Bloomingdale, and
extends from Florida avenue, formerly
Boundary street, to the southern line of the
Soldiers Home grounds. Thus it will be seen
that it offers every facility for speedy subdi-
vision and Improvement. 1t is probable that
the subdivision of the tract will be
undertaken very soon. Streets and ave-
exact lines of those of the city, so that the
tract will become an integral part of the city
itself to all intents and purposes LIE Droit
Park, which is now pretty well filled up, will
region will gain in accessibility and attractive
ness by the fact that new and direct road to
the Soldiers Home can now be cut through.

provements will be borne by the property
owners on each side. The region is healthy
and attractive one, and property thereabouts
is increasing in value as rapidly as any in the
northeastern section.

The first row occurred at Victoria, where the lib beys wished to smuggle some liquor on board At Coal Harbor the Tibbeys pro- posed sailing cruise in Behring sea. They inveigled Captain Down ashore and bound him. Then with Mate An drews in charge they sailed away for ad- venture. They stopped at the village of Nicholshki, in Alaska, and robbed the Greek church altar. They then visited the gold mine at Little Squaw harbor and took material and lumber worth ST. 900. A fortnight afterward they raided
 the Alaska Commercial company's store l house at Portage bay, taking provisions | and hardware. The Gage was siezed al Sand Point by the cutter Corwin and taken 1 to Sitke, where it was released.

PUBLIC FEEDING PLACES.

Count Tolstoi's Work Among the
 rOads-Infant Mortality.
 ST. PETERSBURG, Dec. 21.-Count Tol- stoi, who has just returned from the fam ine-stricken districts, announced to-day that his co-worker, N. Koeyeffsky, re- gently died of influenza. Count Tolstoi declared that if the government would promote village industries sufficient work could be found to avert actual starvation. The ordinary authorities, he said, should establish public feeding places. He him self had started thirty such places, which fed 500 persons daily at the cost of three shillings monthly for each person. The meals consisted of wholesome vegetable porridges, without meat. Ignorance as to the situation and amount of stocks of grain, he said, prevents proper organiza- tion of relief measures. If the govern ment ascertained the true state of affairs supplies could be brought from America nantly opposed the government plan of curse and would ruin Russia. Railways would deprive the peasants of their only occupation in winter, when field work be- ing impossible, by acting as carriers they earn sufficient to procure food for their horses and keep themselves in condition until field work recommences. The count stated that the wealthy peasants, to set an example, eat mouldy bread and then give the same to the workmen and their chil- dren, thus causing a terrible infant nor tality
