CHANGING HORSES.
The Alleged Nuisance On Florida
Avenue.

The attorney for the District today rem
dered an opinion uron the complaint of
Mrs. A. NJ. Dean against the stabling of
the horses of the Metropolitan railroad on
Florida avenue. The attorney says:
THE Metropolitan company has d legal
right TO use FLORIDA avenue for street rail-
road purposes. ard for the present to pro-
pei its cars by horse power but 1t has no
right to unnecessarily obstruct said street
for any unreasonable length of time. while
the teams OF cars are being changed. This
Is making a new use of the street which is
.lot authorized by law, and is, therefore, a
nuisance. Street railroad companies are
entitled to reasonable terminal facilities
when such facilities are not expressly pro-
vided for In their charter. but this does not
mean that they may use the streets FOR
Stabling their horses or cars. to the annoy
ence alike of AUDITING property owners. and
De sons having occasion to use the streets.
1t does not appear. from the papers before
me, that the railroad company has permits
sion from the board of Commissioners to
stand it's horses at the point complained
of, In view of the terminus of the Metro
politan Railroad CompaHy's Connecticut
avenue line. with reference to its stables.
the company has right to change horses
on Florida avenue, but ii should exercise
the right in such manner as not to create
q nuisance. The railroad company plainly
has 10 right to stand a string of horses in

TWO REPORTS PROBABLE.
Party Lines to Appear In the Sugar

The sugar investigating committee is con-
sidering the final report soon to be made to
the Senate. There Is no longer any doubt
that the democratic members of the COM
n.ittee and the republican members will
present a disagreement on the main fea-
lures developed by the inquiry, and that
there will be two reports, showing the po-
litical shadings Of the two parties repre-
scented by the Senators. There are some
fea-ur-s, however. upon which all the
members of the committee will agree, ard
it is understood that the part which Sem
ator Camden has played in the inquiry is
one of the points on which the democrats
and republicans agree, On this point the
testimony will be cited, and the facts as
they appear commented upon in manner

NATTER OF SUCCESSION.
They Ask il Rights and Privileges
Go Over.

Charles and William b. King and George
A Kina; have written to the Commissioners
re1uestin. to be informed whether any
legal objection exists to the rights and
privileges granted by the permit given to
the Potomac Electric Company by the
Commissioners from being enjoyed by
successor They state that shortly after
the organization Of the Potomac Electric
Company a permit was granted by the
board authorizing it TO place poles and
wires in certain localities. The company is
insolvent and it's property in the hands of
receiver who has, in accordance with de-
Gree Of court, advertised it for sale on the
25th instant. The letter to the Commits
sioners reads as follows:
I'VE represent Amherst Fl. Wilder. the
largest creditor OF the company, and whose
demand has been given priority over all
other claims against the company by de
Gree of court. 1t is n matter, therefore. or
yery great interest as affecting the sale OF
the property to know whether the same
rights and privileges which have been ac-
uuired by the Potomac Electric Company
by virtue Of the permit granted to 1t by
your board can be held and enjoyed by
purchaser of its assets. The decree of the
court has been based upon the view that
they can be SO enjoyed, as IL provides for
sale of the franchise, as well as all the
Tangible property. They add that the oper-
atiOns of the company were confined ex-
clusively TO those parts of the District out
side Of the limits OF the city Of Washington,
SO that il Is believed to be entirely unaf-
fected by any Of the restrictions lmposed py
laws or regula tiOns upon electric companies
operating in Washington city.

Washington played Two games of base

Baltimore club yesterday afternoon, at
National Park. and lost both. although for
the first three innings in each contest the
locals held the lead, ahd 1t looked as If the
Orioles would be rdo@ned. Mercer and
Gleason were the opposing twirlers in the
opening game, and Umpire Hoagland, as
usual was made the butt of endless boots.

At one point 1T looked very much as
though trouble would ensue Brouthers was
the first batter for Baltimore in the seventh
inning. and he promptly tapped out a three

who held the sphere, deliberately showed
him off the bag and then called "How's

After short delay the game proceeded al
the direction of Manager Hanlon, although
the Baltimore players desired 20 leave the
field.
Otis Slocksdale started in to pitch for the
home team in the second game, with Inks

but after five runs had been scored by the
orioles in the fourth inning Sullivan was
substituted The result of the game was
never in doubt. Joyce made two three-base
hits in succession, while both Brouthers and
Robinson hit the ball for four bases much
to the joy of a large number of Baltimore
rooterS in the stand.
Tim ORourke made his first appearance
with the local team, playing shortstop Al
though he did nothing with the stick, he
felded the position satisfactorily and also
made remarkable stop and throw to first
