THE COLUMBIA RAILWAY.
The Commissioners Listen to Objections
Against the Extension of This Road.

The Commissioners Listen to Objections
Against the Extension of This Road.
At the late board session yesterday afternoon
the Commissioners took up for consideration
the bill authorizing the extension of the line of
the Columbia railway, known as Senate bill
1878. The hearing took place in Commissioner
Douglass Office and was largely attended. The
principal objection to the road was made by
Col. lotion. the attorney for the Washington
and Georgetown railroad. According to the
bill the Columbia road is to run over the
tracks of the Washington and Georgetown rail-
road from 18th to 18th streets on Pennsylvania
avenue. Col Totem said that the use of the
company's tracks by railroads using horse
power would be serious hiuderance to the
operation of the cable road. He referred to
the fact that the company had been put 10 u
great deal of expense in changing the motive
power, and he submitted that it would not be
In the line OF the legislation to allow horse cars
TO run over the tracks.
President Hurt OF tho Washington and George
town Railroad Company also spoke against that
portion of the bill which related to the use of
his company's tracks from 18th to 18th streets
Ii horse cars were allowed to run on these
tracks it would severely cripple the cable road.
A cable car, he said. runs at the rate of nine
miles per hour, while the maximum rate OF q
horse car is only six miles per hour, so it was
obvious that if this road was allowed to use the
company's tracks the rate OF speed of tho cable
road would have to be reduced to six miles per
hour.

Estate Under an Agreement Made in 1887.

Mr. A. e. Batcman Brings Suit Against the
Estate Under an Agreement Made in 1887.
Arthur E. Bateman ct al. Green J. Bateman
and Bateman Co. for the use OF John A. Gar
yer. assignee, have. by Mr.. H. H. Wells. filed a
bill against Carrie s. Plumb ct al. the executrix
and executor and the legatees under the will of
the late Senator P. B. Plumb, for discovery
as to the property OF the testator, for the ap-
pointment OF a receiver to take charge Of the
same to enloin its incumbrance and for ac-
count OF the amount due to complainants and
that the estate be applied to the payment.
The bill sets forth an agreement, made june
., 1887. to construct under the charter of the
Atlantic and Danviile railroad railroad from
Portsmouth, Va, to Hicks Ford, a distance Of
hfiy-hve miles at st2,6 per milo. which was
to be bonded at $4,000 per mile;
that Newgan Il Co. OF London subscribed for
one-half. S330, 900; Green d Bateman OF Lon
don. 100000; p. b. Plumb, 100000; II. Du-
rand, 100000, and R. H. Elmer, $4,000.
subsequently when it was deter
mined to extend the road Plumb became
liable for S240 coo Of the bonds and contracted
with Green & Bateman to receive the same and
they paid on his account S180,O00, which he
promised TO pay. They stated that they ad-
vanced him this money temporarily on the bonds
which he desired to hypothecate for notes given
by him; that afterward learning that the bonds
had not been preserved from loss they were
compelled to buy him in and Plumb is in
debted to them to the amount of SS47, $40,
including interest.
Yesterday the American Security and Trust
Company, by Mr.. =. Il. Mctzger, filed a petition
III the Probate Court asking that in the estate
OF Mr.. Plumb security be given for debt due
the company. The trust company alleges that
1t holds 17,S55.67 or deposits made by the
late Senator. but that he was indebted to the
company for so, 900, with interest from May
70, 1891, and that there are other debts.

Opposed to Col. Rogers Agreement.
President Hart Of the Chicago Base Ball Club
and President Robinson of the Cleveland club
have informed President Rogers of Philadei-
phia that they do not approve the proposed ma
tionai agreement and will not vote for it unless
the document is materially changed. Mr. Hart
says that President Brush of Cincinnati will
also oppose the adoption of the agreement as
1t now stands. The principal objection ad-
yanced by President Hart is that the Western
League will not become party to the agree
ment He says that should the draft
ing system prevail except between seasons the
plans Of the Western League would be entirely
disarranged. Rather than abandon these plans
which contemplate making the clubs in the
western organization nearly equal in play
Ing strength as possible, Mr.. Hart believes the
Western League would forego national agree
ment protection. and that the Eastern League
which is incubatiny would follow the Western
League. He declares the charges for protec-
ton to be excessive.
