THE MONEY PAID.

The First Installment Of the Rock Greek
Park Fund in the Courts Possession.
This morning Capt. Nebeger, the disbursing
officer Of the Rock Creek Park commission, was
notified by Secretary Foster that the sum Of
&4S0, Ass, the amount first directed by the
Court In General Term to be paid into the
registry Of the court, had been placed
TO his credit. The amount referred to
by the second order Of the court,
S347 ,163, will be placed to his credit
as soon as the necessary papers can be pre-
pared, which at this time of the fiscal year
requires much more time than is usually
necessary. This latter amount represents
the sums due the Shoemaker heirs
and Mrs. Truesden. Immediately upon
Capt Fiebeger drew a check for the amount to
the order Of John R. Young, clerk Of the court,
and at once forwarded It to Mr.. Young, who
immediately deposited the amount TO his credit
as clerk Of the court. So that the amount
awarded the land owners is now in the possess
sion OF the court and subject alone to its order.
AwRIT OF POSSESSION.
Monday morning the commission will apply
to the Court In General Term for a writ Of
possession. The request will be purely formal
matter, and after giving the owners a day or
two notice to show cause why the writ should
not be granted the court will direct the writ to
ISSUE As the action Of the court is contested by
the Shoemaker heirs and Mrs. Truesdell alone,
none of the owners entitled to the awards rep
resented by the amount received today will
offer any objections to the issuance Of the writ.
1t il also probable that the court will on Mon
day formulate plan of procedure to be OBJ
served by the land owners in obtain
ing their money, Just what this
plan will be has not. Of course,
vet been decided upon, although
1t Is probable that Assistant District Attorney
Taggart will be directed to examine and report
upon the claims Of the owners. 1t is believed
that this will require very little time so that in
o week or so all Of the owners will have received
their money. With this the commission have
nothing to do, as their duties end upon the
issuance to them of the writ of possession.

MRS. ALvORD's JEwELRY.
1t Is Finally Recovered by Sergt. HARRISON
and Detective MCGUIRE.

1t is Finally Recovered by Sergt. HARRISON
and Detective Mcclure.
When Sergt Boyle was promoted to the lieu
tenancy made vacant by the death of Lieut..
Guy the first robbery to take place was in front
Of the house Of Mrs. Z. 8. Avord, No. 2217
Washington Circle. Mrs. Alvord was going in
q buggy to the depot and she had in the vehicle
a satchel containing 81 800 worth of jewelry.
She returned to the house, leaving the satchel in
the buggy, and when she returned to the
vehicle the satchel was gone.
When the case was reported to the police
there was no clue to the thief, but the new lieu
tenant, Sergeant HARRISON and Officer McGlue
went to work on the case, and yesterday they
had Michael Curtis locked up. Curtis was not
known as a thief but he has often been in the
Police Court on charges of intoxication and
fighting. He protested his innocence until
last night. when he gave the officers the infor-
nation that stone had been put in
satchel and it had been dropped
in Rock creek. He located the place so we'll
that the officers went to the creek and after
guarding the spot until daylight recovered the
satchel with most Of the jewelry in it. The
rest Of the jewelry was subsequently recovered
from parties to whom Curtis had given it. The
prisoner is still held at the station. He will
probably have q hearing in the Police Court
Monday.

They Give q Splendid Exhibition Drill and
Dress Parade in Front of the Arlington.
In front Of the Arlington Hotel yesterday af-
ternoon q large crowd gathered to see the dress

have won in the competitive drill,

up the steps on their shoulders. They punctu-
ated their line Of march by the High School
yell, which was delivered in the most vigorous
manner.

Urged to Accept the State Portfolio.
Mr.. Depew visited the White House about
115, Just after the President had concluded
his regular td-weekly reception to the
public in the east room. He was
at once shown to the Presidents Office
by Private Secretary Halford. His reception
was most cordial and the President took
occasion to thank him heartily for his services at
the late convention. 1t is understood, however,
that the conversation between the President
and Mr.. Depew related more particularly to the
vacancy existing in the cabinet and that the
President strongly urged Mr.. Depew to aid him
in the administration Of public affairs by as
Stunning charge Of the State Department.
Mr.. Depew was the sole guest at luncheon.
The result Of the conference cannot be stated
with certainty, but it Is understood that Mr.

LAsD-MR. ESLoE THINKS CLEVELAND STILL
HAS THE CALL.
Political talk languished about the Cvpitol to-
day. The enthusiasm Of the advocates Of the
different candidates for the democratic nominal
ton at Chicago wilted with their collars.
While they were willing to talk little and
discuss the outlook at Chicago as they
gathered II from the morning papers,
they did 90 with q calmness born Of despair
about the condition Of the atmosphere and the
failure Of the predicted cyclone TO materialize.
One OF the few out-and-out Hill men still

Mr.. Warwick Of Ohio. the successor Of Maj
Mckinley. Mr.. Warwick has Just got back
from his district where he succeeded in elect
ing two delegates to the Chicago convention
favorable to Senator Hill
WARWICK BELIEVES IN HILL
Mr.. Warwick said TO a STAR man this morn
ing that he still had hopes Of Hills nomina-
ton. He did not agree with the sentiments
expressed in the interview ascribed 20 Senator
Brice, in which that gentleman was quoted as
saying that Senator Hills nomination was now an
utter impossibil;ty. Mr.. Warwick, in fact did not
believe Senator Brice ever said anything OF the
kind When asked who his second choice
would be in case il was found impossible to
nominate Hill Mr.. Warwick said he had no
second choice and he did not know who the
second choice Of the Hill men would be.
HENRY GEORGE SAYS CLEVELAND.

this afternoon as the guest of Representative
how the situation at Chicago looked TO
them Mr.. George said II looked like the nomi-
nation of Cleveland. He could not see how any
other man could be nominated.
do you think Cleveland can carry New
York;" the reporter asked.
"H the democrats can carry New York with
any one they can carry it with Cleveland" Mr..
land is the only man who can carry New York. "
Mr.. George said that Senator Mills would be
of Representative Johnsons party, and when
asked il he had seen the statements that Mills
no longer favored Cleveland Mr.. George said
he had, but did not believe there was anything
in them He felt confident that Senator Mills
was still Cleveland man.
CLEVELAND HAS THE CALL
Representative Enloe is not going to Chicago.
He said today that as there would be nothing
done in the House next week be thought he
would 60 fishing. It seemed to him that, in
spite of the strong fight making on
him, Cleveland still had the call
on the Chicago nomination. Cleveland
had behind him a solid force. comprising more
than a majority Of the delegates while the OPP
position could not solidify on any one. When
q solid body met body that wasn't solid the
latter usually got crushed.
