Against the Tee Made OF Bridge street by the
Washington and Georgetown Company

Against the Tee Made OF Bridge street by the
Washington and Georgetown Company.
Has the Washington aud Georgetown Rail-
road Company a right to the occupancy Of
Bridge street in Georgetown?
That is the question which occupied the at
tention Of the Commissioners al a hearing
given by them in the board room this afternoon.
There were other questions. but this on ac-
count of it's importance took precedence and
occupied a major part Of the time.
The hearing was given in accordance with a
petition signed By number c! citizens Of
Georgetown who complained iha: the railroad
had exceeded Its right and the operation of
Its line on that street Was a menace 10 life
and IN violation of the police regu-
latons For instance, the petition set forth
that the company strung its cars on the street
In such manner as to prevent travel and trade.
which was in direc; conflict with section 4.
article 4, Of the police regulations;
again. that this occupancy Wa. in
violation o. section of article 10. which pro-
Vides that no street car shall stand on anv
street OF avenue for a longer period than Eve
minutes; again. that the cars make unnecessary
NOISE by the needless ringing OF bells. thereby
violating section of article . of the police
regulations

and were represented BY M Harry Davis
PRESIDENT Hurt and Attorney Totten OF the
railroad company were also present, and the
attorney for the District. Mr.. George C. Hazel
ton, looked after the legal aspect for the lis
trict.
THE ooNP.Sr's RIGHTS.
The hearing was for tine most part upon the
ri-bf Of H.. a
street. Mr.. Davis coutended that the company
had no right implied, or otherwise. TO construct
Its line along that street as the terms of
Its charter distinctly stated that it's commence
ment should be at the intersection OF Uirh
and Bridge streets and run eastwardly
Nothing could be palmer than that. he said
The people, however. who had entered the COM
plant were not unreasonable. IL the company
would turn Its cars inside its stable building on
Brrge street there would be no complaint
President Hurt said this WAS imprac ticable from
an engineering standpoint. With reference 10
the night OF the company TO occupy Bridge
street he would ask Col Totten TO reply.
Col Totten stated that the act OF 1889 which
compelled the company. TO change ITS motive
power, contained the authority. Further, be-
Tore the railroad company put a spade into the
ground they obtained from the Commits
sloners q permit TO do the work as well as
their sanction to the occupancy Of Bridge
street. Commissioner Douglass thought the
question was one for the courts. although he
said the Commissioners woald look into the
matter and pass upon the points raised at all

The Weimar Released

Acting Secretary Spaulding this morning or
dered the release Of the steamer Weimar, which
has been detained at the lower quarantine sta
ton. Chesapeake bay. since the 10th instant, and
she proceeded at once to Baltimore to land her
1874 passengers.
This action was based on y report from I'M
migration Commissioner Stockbridge, showing
that passengers in question were booked and
assembled prior to September /. and therefore
are not affected by the restrictions against i'm
migration prescribed in the Presidents order
Of that date. Somebody is to blame for not
supplying this information earlier, Is IL was be-
cause Of its absence that the vessel was detained
as long as she was.
Treasury officials blame the steamship COM
pany, and shy that they could have supplied the
Information at the beginning, but instead of
so doing allowed the department. to find it out
as best it could, meanwhile making all kinds of
protests against the detention Of the vessel.

Three Masked Men "went Through" the
PassenRers aud Secured d 200.


SEATTLE, WASH, Nov. 25.-The overland
west-bound train on the Northern Pacific rail-
road was held up last evening near Hot Syringe
by three masked men. who robbed all Of the
male passengers ip the Pullman sleeper Wadena.
Six in all. The robbers entered the car, it is
believed. at Hot Springs. as the train had
not gone five miles from that place when
the men entered the rear part of the
sleeper. The first man they met was Z. II.
Miller OF Portland. Ore. who was in the smok-
ing compartment. He was relieved of $40 and
gold watch and then told to march in ahead
OF the robbers. which he did. One of the high
waymen went to the extreme end of the car
while the others entered All were dressed in
dark clothes, overcoats, SLOUGH hats and wore
handkerchiefs over their faces, with holes cut
in for ewes
They placed revolsers at the heads of the
passengers and commanded them to hold up
their hands AZ the robbing was going on
5. j. Freedman OF Portland Oregon. came in
from an adjoining car, and as he entered. not
knowing what was going on. he was commanded
TO hold up his hands, but not complying quick
enough the robber neal est to him fred a shot
through the side of the car and then Freedman
understood what was wanted and he handed
over his valuables.
The robbers did not modest the ladies, OF
whom there were four. with two children, tell
Ing them to keep quiet and no harm would
come to them This they did. After robbing
everybody in the car and without going
to any Of the other the
robbers pulled the bell cord. giving
the proper signals, and when the car stopped
they pulled the bell to start again and then
jumped off and fed to the woods, firing part
ing fusilade as they disappeared. The total
amount taken was $1,000, besides the gold
watches and jewelry and other valuables.
The following is list of the men robbed:
Pullman conductor and porter. Z. Z. Hege,
Portland, $40 and gold watch worth $500;
s.. ]. Freedman, Portland, 800 and gold
watch Sam dinner, sos (bo saved his watch
by throwing it under tho seat; Ii. Gui-
mare, between 5000 and $1,000 Che had
just sold u mining claim in SLOGAN
district in British Columbia and was going to
Seattle.) 1t is thought this is the man the
robbers were really after thinking he had more
money than found upon him. Z. II. Miller
was robbed Of sl0 and jewelry and Pullman
Conductor q. w. Wiley of st. Paul of $50.
From the fact that the robbers gave perfect
signals it is believed tn Il they are railroad men.
They were all armed with big Colt revolvers.
The train arrived here about 3 o'clock this
morning on its way to Portland
