MR.. BArEMAN.s ANSWER.
The Litigation Over His Interest In [
Massachusetts Avenue Property.

The Litigation Over His Interest In the
| Massachusetts, Avenue Property.
In the case of W. NJ. Mackall, r., and Laura
r. Green against A. T. Bsteman ct a., Gen.
H. n. Wells yesterday, for Mr.. Bateman and
wife, fled answer. The deposit of 81 ,0O0 by
Mackall about July %, 1884, is admitted, the
| purpose Of it being to invest in real estate
| transaction, in which Bateman was a partner,
and that Bateman offered to let him have that
amount in the certificates of the trustees bold
| ing the Massachusetts, avenue extension prop
erty or to have an interest in his (Rs) interest.
The property they say has not been capital
! lied or scrip issued, but il had been purchased
| before and Mackall had not contributed to the
1 purchase. for it was then held by Thompson,
Bateman and Arms.
| They deny that THOMPSON ct al. held the
property on any secret trust and assert that it
| is held on the trust set out in the declaration
of October 26, 1856. They deny that Mrs.
Green or Henry Durand contributed directly or
| indirectly to the purchase and assert that they
have no interest save as derived from Bateman
subsequently. He asserts as to conveying his
interest to Thompson and White, for the benefit
of his wife. children, Mackall and Durand, that
he did not thereby relieve or discharge himself
as trustee under the original declaration.
As to the refusal to allow an inspection Of the
books, Mr.. Bateman says that rs matter Of
fact Thompson and White kept no books for
nothing had been received nor was any entry
required.
Mr.. Bateman states that being in i'll health
and about TO go abroad on that account he
made the conveyances to secure Durand and
Mackall share MOI than ample for the sums
placed in his hands.
1t IS true, he says, ABOUT March, 1884, nc
agreed to let Mackall have an interest Of 81 900
in the stock or scrip which it was expected to
issue and he did propose in April to let Durand
have one-fifth of his one-fourth interest on the
payment Of $4,000 and SO wrote him. He
states Durand accepted the offer, but he paid
only 1850 and Laura Green paid only the
e, 800 mentioned.
He asserts that they knew at the time that
they had no interest in the land, but were to
share in the profits OF losses and to pay their
proportion of expenses, which to the present
time in his u. 81 share amount TO over SIS, 00O,
which he has paid.
He states that no provision was made for
Mrs. Green, for she was doing business i'll her
own name and was indebted to him the sur
viving partner $4,000. and her husband,
Douglass Green, indebted $4,000, for
which he holds p-onlissory nores.
Answering The other paragraphs they reassert
that Mackaii ard Mrs Green have no interest
in his share and, adopting the answer of Mr..
Thompson, asks to be dismissed with costs.

A NEW ART MOVEMENT.
"society of Washington Artists. !"

The artists of Washington have long since
felt the want of local organization, formed
and conducted in the general interests of their
profession, and through which they might in
| dividually and collectively enjoy the advan-
| tages which come from social intercourse and
| Interchange of views and opinions upon art
and cognate topics Accordingly, after sew
| eral informal considerings Of the subject, a
called meeting was held at the studio Of Mr..
Max Weyl few evenings since, when perma-
nent organization was formed by the adoption
| of a constitution and bylaws, formally taking
| to itself the title named above, and electing a
board Of managing officers for the ensuing
year The gentlemen chosen for this service
are:
President-E. H. Miller.
Wee President-W. H. Holmes.
Secretary and Tredsuyer-C.. H. l.. Mcdonald.
EIectaice Con,n,itee-Parker Mann, r. L.
johnson, Max Weyl, X. N. Brooke, J. H. Moser.
The officers are ex officio members of the
Executive Committee. and this body, thus
constituted, will administer all the affairs of
the Society, regular monthly meetings OF
which will be held from October to May, in
elusive.
At present the membership falls little short
Of full score, but it is thought this number
will be considerably augmented when the exist
ence and purposes of the society are fully I'm
derstood- 1t is not likely, however, that the
roll will ever be very long one, for, its
name implies and its constitution provides,
membership in the organization is limited to
professional artists.
The fine galleries Of Messrs. Woodward &
Lothrop have been generously offered to the
society, both for the purposes of formal exhibit
tons, annually or Oftener, and a place of
display and sale of members works during the
entire year. This liberal action on the part of
the gentlemen named will he Of the greatest
service to the Society. it furnishes the menu

ditions. 1t is expected that the initial exhibit
ton of the Society viii be given some time in
February, by which time it hopes to be firmly
on It's feet and fairly started OH long, useful
and profitable career.
That these hopes may be realized will be. it is
quite safe to say. the wish of every one inter-
ested in art, whether directly or indirectly.

Already the beneficial effects of the proposed

this county. Many men who had in the past
made living from the canal, but who left the
county for pastures new" after the canal had
been destroyed by the food. have returned.
and others who had intended to go have
abandoned the idea, and are now employed in
repairing this waterway. Tho work of restora-
ton on this, the upper end Of the canal IS being
pushed, and the force at dam No. 4 is being
increased almost daily.
In this and the adjoining counties farmers
have suffered greatly Of late by the destruc-
ton Of their barns by incendiary fires Another
one was added to the list last night by the de-
struction of the large burn on the farm of Mr..
Levi Eartle near Leitersburg together
with its contents. including farming imple-
ments and 800 bushels Of wheat. The loss will
aggregate $1,000, the larger portion, however,
Of which is covered by insurance.

marriage Of Mr.. Norman Z. Baker, u popular
