Three Months for Devilment.

Edward Kilgore and James Henderson, col
ored boys, were together yesterday and they
began fooling with each other, but Kilgore. the
larger Of the boys, became angry and showed
fight. He was eating piece of bread at the
time and had knife in his hand cutting the
bread. Suddenly he threw the knife at Hen
derson and it stuck in his leg.
This was the story told by Kilgore before
Judge Harper this morning and he concluded
his statement by saying:
Il threw the knife for devilment"
That sort Of devilment gets people hung
sometimes, was what MIR. Clagett told him.
Them boys is always pickin' on me any
how, said the prisoner rs the judge started to
impose the sentence.
They won't bother you again for some
time" the judge remarked, and then he said

the Question.
Despite the persistent denials of Farmers

doubt that the farmers Of the state have in
many cases made arrangements to store wheat

of their bodies are securing wheat for advance
in prices.
In almost every county alliance plans have
been adopted for holding hack grain and OBJ

THE TRACKS ON @ STREET
Mr. q. b. Lester Questions the Authority of
the Commissioners in the Matter.


Mr.. o. B. Lester of No. 223 Indiana ave-
nue. submitted to the Commissioners today
some facts in regard to the proposed location
of the tracks Of the Washington and George
town Railroad Company on what has been
alleged to be street north from LIST street to
New Jersey avenue. and entered protest
against the plan proposed, as stated in The
STAR OF the LIST instant Mr.. Lester SAYS an ex-
animation OF the original records, plats, &c,
OF the squares lying north and south of the in
tersection OF street by Indiana avenue
between LIST and New Jersey avenue
north shows that square 63i, as de-
scribed, is bounded on the south by G
street north 255 feet and inches and on
the southwest by an avenue rs feet. and that
square 6S3 is bounded on the north by an
avenue 375 feet. From this, he says IL will be
seen that q street can only exist between these
squares from point IS feet from the east side
OF LIST street along the south side of square S3l.
255 feet inches to New Jersey avenue. the
same terminating 10 feet east of LIST street in
acute triangle. He says further if the plan of
laying one track where the sidewalk IL now
located is followed it will be right on the
building line of q street when il reaches the
western line of New Jersey avenue.
TIE COMMISSIONERS AUTHORITY QUESTIONED.
He questions the authority of the Commits
tracks of said company from their present loca-
ton and says he does not think they have any
such authority. He cites the act Of Congress
approved March 2, 1889, authorizing any street
railway to use underground cables on any por-
ton of its roadway, DC. Mr.. Lester says he
does not understand how authority to take up
one kind of rail and lay another kind on the
same roadway or roadbed can be construed
into authority to remove the roadway or road
bed to another place. and the language OF this
law is 30 clear and explicit that he fails to dis
cover even the shadow of doubt to do it. He
says, substantially. that in tile face of the law
IT Is proposed to destroy over a dozen of
the finest trees In the city, take up the curb
for over $50 feet and remove and relay side
walk along al improved street in order to give
a street car company terminal facilities in the
public streets, and that he finds nothing in the
appropriation bill for the present fiscal year
permitting an expenditure Of public funds for
the purpose of tearing up the street and re-
modelling 1t to suit the street car company. He
says he presents these facts and suggests that
the citizens of the District should not. in view
OF the facts therein contained, be compelled to
resort to the courts to maintain their rights
The letter has been referred to the engineer
department for their perusal.
