THE SENTIMENT OF n.

He was followed by Judge Joseph Daniels,
Who made pathetic appeal against the bill
He said he had been taught from the time he
was a school boy that under our republican
form Of government whenever the necessity
arose for taking private property for public
purposes there should be a reason for il that
the rights Of private individuals should never
be destroyed unless there we're public reasons
for II, not private. Nc advocate OF the present
measure could show Why burials should cease
In any Of the cemeteries spoken of.
Looking at 1t from a sentimental standpoint
1t seemed cruel and unjust to pass a bill that
had for Its object the separation of those who.
bound together in life, would be separated in
death His remarks we're pathetic that
many In the room were moved to tears
Messrs- 5. ]. Fague Hewlett and Geo. W. Hsr-

a Hearing Today q Bill to Prohibit
Burials in a Certain Area.

A Hearing Today Bill to Prohibit
Burials in a Certain Area.
House bill 70s6 relating to cemeteries in the
District of Columbia was the subject matter
discussed at hearing of tine board of Commits
sionsrs this afternoon The meeting was
largely attended, fully 100 interested citizens
crowdiny into the board room.
The bill provides that after the LIST day Of
July. 1886, it shall be unlawful to make inter-
ments or burials in any cemetery or burial
place in the District of Columbia situated
within one mile and half of Florida avenue
between Rock Greek and the line of the
Washington branch of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Company. and from and after such
date the Commissioners of the District OF Co
lumbia are directed to refuse permits for burials
In the above-named locality. 1t also pro-
yided that no grounds now held or used for
cemetery purposes in the District of Columbia,
whether Incorporated or not, shall be enlarged
or increased for burial purposes except by
special act of Congress.
In accordance with the regular custom Com
missioner Douglass called for oil jectors first.
Mr. cLEPHASEs REMARKS.
Mr.. Lewis Clephane was the frs. to speak He
said he represented the Glenwood cemetery. in
which there are inferred Il. 900 persona The
bill. he said. cunniugly devised II does
not Strike at cemeteries which In much
more populous parts of the District than Glen
wood, such as Oak Hill Mount OlIvet, Con-
gressional. Rock Creek. Gracelaud and MANY
other cemeteries. but only at the ones border
ing on comparatively worthless piece Of land
west Of GlenwoOd ard Prospect Hill cemeteries
purchased years before the establishment Of
this cemetery by a syndicate and now being
suodlvided- These spectators, he continued
would destroy existing cemeteries for
their own mercenary gain He was
convinced that the Commissioners would never
favor or indorse such apparent class legisla-
ton and such unjust discrimination. Glenwood
Cemetery Is not. he said, a cemetery for specu-
Ation. but is owned and controlled by lot owners
Who number 1868 Ii is one of the largest
cemeteries in the District. consisting of ninety
acres Of ground and joins on to the grounds Of
the Soldiers Home at its northern extremity
The Commissioners chosen to protect the
citizens and taxpayers and if they thought it
best TO fayorabIy report the bill they should
amend IT by fixing the time when no further
interment shall be made at july l. 1892 in
stead OF 1856, as the effect would be to destroy
this cemetery immediately on its passage.
