APPEAL TO CONGRESS
Petition Signed by the Merchants and
Others on. Louisiana Avenue
The Lumber Dealers Propose q License
for the Use of the Parking by
AbuttinE Owners

Judge Kimban's decision in the cases
brought for trial because of order is
sued by the Commissioners to enforce the
laws against all kinds of street obstruc-
tons covered every point raised under the
laws, and If enforced will result in the
Wholesale removal of lumber from park
ings, peanut stands from street corners,
and many ether distractions which have
been permitted to exist for years.
AS Judge Kimball said, there is no trou-
BILE with the law, except that 1t has been
permitted to sleep. Already some of the
peanut stands have been removed, some
stationary barber poles taken in and ether
distractions removed The dealers on
Louisiana avenue have not yet compiled
with the order of the police nor have the
lumber men moved their piles of lumber.
The lumber men, members of the Lumber
Exchange, have made a move In the mat
ter, and have held several meetings AT
meeting held Yesterday Maj II. l.. Biscoe
presided, and the whole question was ols-
cussed.
While there is no disposition on the part
of these dealers to disobey the order OF
the Commissioners or violate the law IN
regard to the occupancy of the parkings
about their yards they want a stay OF pro-
ceedirgs until they can appeal to Congress
to enact some law.
Following an interchange of Views on
the subject it was decided to appoint a
committee of twelve to look after the mat
ter. Mr.. T. W. Smith was made chairman
of this committee and its members called
on the Commissioners, but the latter gave
no definite idea of what they would do.
and suggested that the wishes Of the mer-
chants be reduced to writing.
This was done last evening when the
committee met, and tomorrow at noon
they will call on the Commissioners and
present their views.
While pointing out the loss and deprecia-
ton in property which would ensue If the
privilege of using is taken away, they sug-
gest that in those portions of the city given
up by mutual consent and interest to
manufacturing the parking could with
profit he let out to abutting owners
at reasonable charge by the District
Commissioners.
The signatures of the property owners
could be obtained before such license
was issued and the latter could be re-
voked at the pleasure Of the Commission
erS.
A number of signatures have been Sc
cured to a petition to Congress requesting
the passage of All act permitting the prop
erty owners on Louisiana avenue between
9th and 10th streets northwest to use and
occupy the parking on said avenue adj
jacent to their property for the purpose
of selling and exhibiting for sale produce,
meats, goods, wares and merchandise, as
has been done for and during the twenty
years last passed.

MARINE ENGINEERS.
Matters Transacted mt TOdny's Session
of the Association.

At today's session of the annual conven-
ton of the Marine Engineers Beneficial
Association the reports of the national
president, national secretary and national
treasurer were read and approved. They
showed that the order continues to grow.
The matter of late decision Of the Treas
ury Department that marine engineers
were not officers of vessels was the theme
for considerable discussion. The decision
will be appealed from.
The association claims that engineers are
licensed officers Of their respective craft.
Much discussion was also carried on con-
corning the engineers Of the steamers Paris
and New York. When these ships were
transferred to the American register the
engineers, who were foreigners, were re-
tanned. 1t was stated that one Of these had
been made chief engineer of the American
built ship ST. Louis. 1t was admitted that
these engineers had declared their intention
Of becoming naturalized as Americans

George Roth, young white man. was
placed on trial in Criminal Court No. 2 to-
day, charged with assaulting his wife
Maggie with intent to kill her on Christ
mas day.

Roth came home in an Intoxicated condi-
ton and inquired of his wife whether din
rer was ready.
He was informed that 1t was. For some
reason that did not please the man, and.
after accusing his wife of being drunk, he
attempted to carve her with a razor, instead
Of devoting himself to the turkey. She
broke away from him. escaping down
stairs. Subsequently she returned for some
of her clothing, when Roth, catching up
the razor. held bottle Of ammonia to her
lips, compelling her to drink some Of it's
contents.
Messrs. Truitt and Duffy, counsel for
Roth, contended that both parties were in
toxicated and that the woman drank some

Twice Used Boxes.

A Star reporter talked this afternoon
with some of the laundry people on tho
question of possible contagion from twice.
used laundry boxes. Several Of the per-
sons with whom the reporter talked were
indignant and thought that much more
danger existed among Chinese laundries
than could come from any paper boxes.
One laundryman declared that he did not
use his boxes twice, because they were
creased and soiled. One said that only
about 5 per cent of the boxes sent out
were ever returned.

(From the Commereial-Appeal of March 8
 Miss Yaw came, sang and con quered. No person in the large audi ence which greeted her ever heard such vocalizatiOn before. She struck A, c and E above what is generally known-to put it plainly-as high q. This was marvelous-the perform anee of the impossible One looked about to see if there might not be Svengali somewhere. Her voice darted from note tG note up the gamut so rapidly-almost steadily that she had attained the high point before her audience had become sell sible of her daring. Her ease was amazing. But really her voice has several remarkable or phenOminal qualities. In the lower register there is n strange contralt0 timbfe that puzzles the nearer, because in the upper register the soprano tone is developed in degree so exquisite that WE fiEUSI u fAIh MIN ideal expression. Indeed, there were instances when in the higher notes the accord between her vocalization and the piano was so complete that the ear could not distinguish the vocal and the piano notes. 1t is often said of a singer that she sings .like a. bird. The fact is that few birds can whistle or sing purely. The redbird has half q dozen notes that are, we think, thoroughly true to the scale. Miss Yaw gave all those notes with bird-like fiuency and purity. Reaches that are the ambi- ton of the ordinary singer, were taken by her without effort, holding notes firmly that others may only barely strike. In addition, her voice had sympathetic quality that went right to the heart. She sang also with fine expression, showing that she was quite appreciative of the dramatic complement.

SAILS FOR EUROPE.
The Countess de oastaiiene and Her Hus- band Passengers on the City of
 New York.

NEW YORK, March 6.-As the steamer City of New York moved maiestieally away from her wharf at the foot of Christopher street today, there arose such a rousing farewell shout from the crowds assembled on the docks as is seldom accorded d departing vessel. Ad1ed to the "God speeds, of the multitude there was deafening sereeching of hundred or more whistles of the vessels lying in the vicinity of the Inman line docks
 On the upper deck of the stately craft stood the Countess de Gastal- lene, who this day last week was Miss Anna Gould. Several times as the ship was getting under way sine turned from the side of her husband to wave salute to the crowd, some of whom were her friends or acquaint- anees. but the majority of whom, however, were desirous only to see fbe titled bride. The Countess wore q plain but rich costume of gray, with q seal jacket, the collar Of which was turned up to shield her from the sharp March winds from off the bay. The bride and groom were accom- panied only by valet and maid, but what was lacking in the way of personaI servants was made up ill the matter of personal effects which they carried with them, the score of huge trunks containing the brides rousseau occupying good-sized niche in the eapaeious store=rooms abelow deeks,of the big liner.
 After spending q few weeks in Lon don the Count and Countess de Cas- tailene win proceed to Paris where they will remain about a week in a suite of elegant apartments which have already been arranged for them.
