IsherwOed Title.

The ejectment suit of Peck and Simmons,
trustees, against Heurich came to sud
den end yesterday afternoon, because of a
ruling by Judge McComas that the suit
was a champertous one, and the court
thereupon directed a verdict for the de-
PENDANT, the plaintiffs noting an appeal to
the Court of Appeals.
AS stated in The Star several days ago,
the suit was one of twenty or more
brought for the purpose of sustaining the
claims of the heirs of the late Ann Bart
lett. who died in 1876, to a large part of
Isherwood, a tract of land in the suburbs
of Northeast Washington. 1t was develop
ed that the Bartlett heirs had executed a
deed to the trustees, conveying the land to
them for all the heirs, the trustees to
prosecute the suits In ejectment against
the present holders of the land, Mr.. Sim
mons to receive one-third as his comDen-
sation. When the plaintiffs offered this
deed In evidence to complete their chain of
title, the defense objected to 1t on the
ground that it was champertous. The OBJ
lection was deliberately argued by Messrs.
A. A. Birney and T. II. Mackey, counsel
for the plaintiffs, and by Messrs. VIM. T.
Mattingly and Leon Tobriner. represent
ing the defendant. Judge McComas. in a
most carefully prepared opinion. sustained
the objection, although he explained that
he would not deny that the Bartlett heirs
could prosecute their claims to the prop
erty in another suit

TO DEFEND SUITS.
Beneficial Endowment Claims Not to
Go by Default.

In the suit of Robert Ball and others
against the Washington Beneficial Endow-
ment Ass citation, Judge Cox today empow-
cred the receivers Messrs. A. A. Lipscomb
and T. NJ. Fields to receive proofs of the
death of policy holders, and to defend any
suits at law equity now filed or which
may hereafter be filed against the associa-
ton.
Judge Cox made the order upon an affi-
davit filed today by Mr.. Lipscomb, as
counsel for Mr.. Lawrence Gardner In his
affidavit Mr.. Gardner states that he con-
scented to remain temporarily as president
of the association in order to facilitate the
transfer of che certificate holders of the as
ISOLATION to the Commercial Alliance Life
Insurance Company, and to guard the
rights OF said certificate holders The lat
ter company has, he says, become totally
insolvent, and has passed into the hands
of receiver without having appointed or
elected new officers to conduct the affairs
of the association. Several suits at law,
Mr.. Gardner explains, involving several
thousand dollars, have recently been filed
here against the association, for the de-
Tense of which the associat .on has no funds
to employ counsel. The executors of the
nate Frank Schwarz have, he states filed
g suit for 5000. But said sum is not law
fully due, Mr.. Gardner conte ends, because
the contract is void for the reason that
Schwarz died by his own hand or act
Unless the suit is defended, Mr. Gardner
argues, judgment by default will be given
against the association, and its rights lost
to the injury of all the parties to the orig
inal suit.

No Comforts at Static, for the Homeless
and Hungry.
Many Other Notes of General and
Local Interest Told in Short
Paragraphs.

A WORKOUT, weak and hungry tinker
applied at the station house last night for
lodging. He gave his name as VIM. j..
Stewart and his age as sixty-four.
AS the Washington Lodging House was
full, the applicant was taken in. He was
so weak from walking that he could
scarcely have gone square further. He
said he had come in straight from Rock
ville walking steadily all the way. His
bed was a cell bench. In the construction
of the present police station accommoda-
tons for dodgers were considered, and a
room provided, but, the appropriation run
ming short, safety gas jets, heating ar
rangements, &c, could not be introduced,
and in consequence 1t has never been
deemed wise to use the place as temporary
shelter for the homeless and friendless.
Two Runnways.
Brown and DUNCAN, two of the runaway
boys mentioned in yesterdays Star, were
taken in yesterday by the police. Collins
is still enjoying unrestricted liberty. The
captured youngsters were found on the
heights of town. They had existed there
among the people for over three days by
telling pitiable yarns. Their favorite one
was to the effect that they were the sole
support of very large families. The house
rent, they said, was due, the cupboard
bare and the babies sick. This lamentable
state Of their domestic affairs in more
than one case elected from the unsuS-
pecting substantial sympathy.
Granite Quarry.
Mr.. Charles r. Newman has applied to
the Commissioners and been granted per-
mission to open granite quarry on private
property near the Broad Branch road. Mr..
Newman will use the stone in the con-
struction of his new house near Rock
creek, handsome structure of elaborate
design. The Commissioners will see that
due precaution Is taken to prevent injury
to travellers on the public road while the
blasting is being done.

disc brokerage business in New York, Prov

his office on the morning of December IL
