RELICS OF OLD LONDON.
Discovery OF the Roman Wall OF the Mid
die hEog.

Nfo AEOH.
Tho recent excavations for tho now
post-oi.icc in ST. Martin s-le- Grand, saws
tho London Times, have led to the dis
covcry not only Of by far tho most
perfect piece of tho Roman wall laid
bare in recent times. but also of a com
plctc outline of the old town ditch,
which defcnde& London during the mid
Gle ages. s. =
it is ditIicultto draw for ourselves now
picture of London as walled town
washed by C. broad moat. Wall and fosso
are now in the very heart of tho county
OF London. Not only so, but the town
has covered them in and grown over
them. From the present street lovol
30 the footings OF the old Roman wall, the
level of the old moat, is about eight feet
and half. The accommodations of cent
urics have buried tho defenses of tho
city out Of sight, and it needs an owner
more anxious than usual to mako tho
most OF his property to bring to light the
hidden history of tho place.
1t is curious that tho enormous value
OF city land for commercial purposes,
and the burrowing into the bowels Of
tho Garth thereby occasioned, should
lead to the disintcrment Of roles of Lon
don OF tho Roman period and of the mid
die ages

GAME BACK FOR REVENGE.
A Bear Carries OF Her Dead Cub, but TO
turns to Fight 1. Out.

A Bear Carries OF Her Dead Cub. but TO
turns to Fight L. Out.
One day while proceeding up n can
yon in the Ration mountains, SAYS q
writer in the Kansas City Star, Il large
silver-tipped bear and her cub loaped
out and made rush up the sloping side
of the valley. There were three in our
party and every Winchester began to
talk very earnestly and cxcitcdly. The
cub tumbled dead tho frat fire. I call
him cub, but the truth is he was moro
than half as large as hin mother and
weighed two hundred and forty
pounds. Tho old lady did not show
any injury, md the moment the
young ono tumblcd she turned and
came back square in the teeth of tho
rifles, and, selling her dead cub in her
mouth as cat does kitten, raised it
fairly clear OF tho ground and cantcrcd
up the hill-no easy matter, as, aside
from the two hundred and forty pounds
of limp and dragging weight, she had to
force her anxious, loving way through
oak brush, which in many instances
might have detained steer. She got
fairly away, albeit we fred several
shots after the cub fell
We had just reloaded tho magazines
of our Winchesters, and were commun-
ing as to taking the trail of the old bear,
which showed wide and clear in broken
bushes and disturbed oak leaves and
pine needles, when looking up we beheld
our gainc coming back straight for us.
She meant business, too. Her red and
steaming tongue lollcd out of her half
open mouth, and her eyes partially
closed in rage would have seemed quiz
zical In expression were it not for the
ferocity which lcaped and flashed in
their depths like sheet lightning behind
some cloud screen. She came straight
to us, and we settled her troubles ut the
first fire. We found the cub up on the
divide. She had carried 1t at least sixty
rods with two bullot-holes In her shag-
gy hide, as we found when we skinned
her.

TROUBLE OVER A FENCE.
Judge Bradley Grants An Injunction Until
the Final Hearing.


the Final Hearing.
In the case of Olive A. Fitzgerald against
Indiana Vedder to restrain the removal of a
fence on the parking Of Massachusetts avenue
between 11th and 18th streets northwest, the
respondent this morning filed answer and the
case was heard by Judge Bradley on bill and
answer, Messrs. G. E. Hamilton and NJ j. Col
bert for the complainant and Messrs. NJ NJ
Richardson and ]. A. Maedel for the respondent
The complainant is the owner OF part of lot
!, square 345, fronting on Massachusetts ave-
nue., and the iron.railing on the parking be-
tween her property and the respondents runs
at right angles to the line of Massachusetts ave-
nue., and she claims that respondent under a
pretended permit Of the Commissioners has re-
moved the fence and purposes to re-erect it on
a line coincident with the lot.
The respondent claims to own forty-five feet
front of the lot that the west railing is not CO.
incident with the party line and part of the
parking inclosed was not in front of defend
ants premises; that she being DESTROYS to erect
a dwelling place and the railing being
unlawfully in front of her property,
she obtained permit to remove 1t and
did remove SO much as was not
coincident with party lines. She denies that
any damage has been or will be done BY the re-
moval of the railing, and asserts that her IRE
spondentsl property will be injured if it does,
and, asserting that she is acting under author
ity, she asks that the restraining order be dis
charged.
Judge Bradley granted an injunction till the
final hearing, holding that the granting of the
permit was not a building regulation, but
more properly, was police regulation.

FOR MISSION WORK.
Large Contributions for Diocesan Purposes
at st. Johns Church.

Large Contributions for Diocesan Purposes
at st. Johns Church.
At st. Johns Church. Washington, d. c., on
the second Sunday after the Epiphany, the
rector asked his people to contribute not less
than $500 to the diocesan missions fund, that
being the sum assigned to st. Johns parish by
the committee on missions. Bishop Paret was
present at the rector's invitation and made q
most interesting and stirring statement Of the
present needs of the mission work of the diocese
of Maryland The result of this appeal was con-
tribution Of 81 .3s5.2S instead of merely the
5000 asked for. OF this sum 900 had been
previously sent to the bishop through
the rector as a special" and of the
remaining s1,2s5.2s 5000 was also in
the form Of special" one gift of ssOO
being from regular parishioner, the other ss00
from lady temporarily in Washington. This
latter gift was brought into st. Johns vestry in
the afternoon Of the Sunday when the collection
was taken up, together with an anonymous
letter, which was to have been published at the
bishops request, in hopes that it might stimu-
late others TO similar liberality. But by an un-
fortunate accident this letter has been lost. II
should be stated in explanation that besides
asking for contributions to the regular fund Of
the missionary committee Bishop Paret had suR-
gested that inasmuch as there are now twelve
''silent churches" in this diocese, owing TO
their lack Of means to support q regular minis
ter. he ventured to hope that some person in
the congregation might be able and willing TO
give special" of $500, which sum, added to
what these "silent churches" could each afford,
would secure regular pastor for at least one
of them. It was in response to this appeal that
the bishop received through st. Johns parish
two such specials" The unsigned letter which
was brought into the vestry room with three

THE CHOCTAw CLAIM.
Arguments Heard in the Case Against II. K,
Mckee.

Arguments Heard in the Case Against ii. K.
Mckee.
In the Court in General Term today, before
Chief Justice Bingham and Judges James and
Montgomery, three Of the Choctaw claims
cases.. B. H. Latrobe ct al agt. h. E. Mckee
ct al, Ward II. Lamon ct al. agt. same and Nc
Kee agt. Cochrane-were under argu-
mem. As stated, these cases grew out of the
prosecution Of claim for the Choctaw Indians,
and the parties to the suits all claim for services
rendered in the prosecution Of the claims,
some of them over thirty years ago. About
three years ago an award was made OF
90, 900, and Henry E. Mckee was at
that time engaged in the prosecution of
the claims. OF this sum he received a draft for
S7S3, 900, and it was sought to enjoin him from
collecting the draft. He, however. before the
papers were served was beyond the jurisdic-
ton Of the court with the draft, but he subse-
quently paid into the registry of the court
Sl61 900, for which he made no claim.
MIR. Nathaniel Wilson opened for Mr.. Lamon
and was followed by Mr.. r. Fendall and Col.
Totten for Mr.. Latrobe.

Some days ago the assistant attorney for the
District, Mr.. s. T. Thomas, acting upon q re-
quest from the Commissioners. rendered an
opinion on the question as to whether the APP
preparation of $1,000 made for grading and
regulating Pennsylvania avenue extended could

Mr.. Thomas in his opinion held that the
money could be used on Pennsylvania avenue
only.
1t was claimed that the opinion was based
upon insufficient information, and Capt. Ros-
sell referred pencil diagram and additional
data to Mr.. Thomas in case he decided to make
a supplementary report. This he did today.
