OLD liPlYT sllsH'aD
metropolitan Men Declare Phillips
Broke Faith With Them.
Committee AppSs ID to Lay Their
Grievance Bedrefhe General Man
ager and seek Redress.

President Phillips has broken faith with
the employees Of the Metropolitan Stree,
Railway Company. He has failed TO keeI
the promises, say the employees, which he
made to the mon several weeks ago.
The employees have determined that the,
have rights which are entitled to respect
and II the expressions and resolutions
adopted at meeting OF the Street Railway
Protective Union last night go for any
thing, they will have them.
The grievances of the railway men, as
reported in The Morning Times, are that
the regulars who have been employed on
the road for years and are thoroughly
acquainted with the business In all iti
phases, are being laid off or given tenn
porary runs, while new menlately employed
by the company are being regularly en-
ployed.
A Times reporter talked to number OF
employees to-day, and the unanimous opin.
ion Onexprcssed seem ell to be that the time W as
ripe for action. Said one:
II was on the committee that called
upon President Phillips about two weeks
ago and laid the matter fully before him.
He was, as usual full of promises, and
pledged bis word that all the old men then
employed would be retained and given
steady employment. He now goes back on
everything he then said. and instead of the
regular ren being OH cars, you will find
many of them sitting around the stables
waiting to pick up a few hours employ
ment, while we are forced to see new men
operating on cars. We have stood this thing
just as long as we are cgoing to stand it, and
President Phillips Will fiud ii, out before
many hours"
1T looks like au attempt TO starve us
out and make us seek other employment
said another Il know of men who have
been in the employ OF the company for years
who have not worked on an average of
ten hours a week In the last two weeks.
We have determined TO take official action
and last night committee was appointed
TO wait on the president and ascertain his
views.
Unless his reasons are satisfac ctory.
I think We viii be able TO devise a method
to remedy or solve the difficulty"
These were hut a few of the many ex-
pressions OF opinion heard by the reporter.
They were all, ho weyer, in the same strain
Having ascertaiDed the feeling and views
of the men, The Times man called to see
President Phillips to get an expression
from him in regard 10 the statement pre-
viously published. --.t.
-e In a manner thoroughly characteristic
that official replied most impolitely that
he did not reads The Times, and neither
did he wish 10 talk-to II or lis reporters:
that he was tired of being kept in the
papers. etc. The Times desires TO talk to
Mr.. Phillips and wall continue to do so
until he is made to realize the sense OF duty
and respect which he owes to the men en-
ployed by HIM 80 Mr. Phillips may expect
to see his namd quise, frequently In The
Times news c0lnn7ns.

roussAINT GETS HIS LICENSE
Old Case Finally Settled by the Excise
Board.

Ne-D @>->>>sO
Board.
The excise board to-day authorized re-
tail license TO be issued to Otto Toussaint
at No. 1249 Seventh street northwest.
There has been some controversy over this
case. License was refused in January for
the same premises, upon some objection
being filed, and the owner of the bailding,
Charles Mades, thereupon had the building
torn down and new one erected
He also opened communication between
the new structure and an adjoining build
ing, throwing the two together for use as
hotel. Upon completion of these arrange
ments The application for license was re.
newed.
An inspection of the hotel by Assistant
Clerk Woodward showed that the two
buildings had a total of twenty-six rooms,
one more than the law requires for the ac-
commOdation of guests, but Toussaint's
family consists of four persons, and II was
a question whether the buildings were still
OF sufficient capacity.
In order to obviate this, still another
room was added as a guest chamber, and as
1t was reported by Lieut.. Teeple that ma
jority of the residents, forty three out of
seventy-four. had indorsed the application,
the board authorized the license.
Mr.. Toussaint was represented by the
Hon. Simon Wolf.

BURKE HAS HER MONEY.
Miss MeadeS Brings Suit Against
WelI-K nown Lawyer.

Miss MeadeS Brings Suit Against a
WelI-Known Lawyer.
Suit for an accounting of money belong
ing to Rosy Elizabeth Meades was brought
to-day against Edmund Burke, the attor-
ney, by Miss Meade's next friend, Thomas
Martin. The attorney is accused -.of
wrongfully Withholding the young wonl-
ans money from her.
Miss Meades recovered damages in the
SUM of So GOO from the Richmond and
Danville Railroad Company on March 90,
1889, on account of an injury she re-
ceived that resulted in permanently Grip
ping her The court of appeals, on July
IL 1890. affirmed the judgment for $4,000
and costs that amoupted to S3s455.
Mr.. Burke collected the money, the petit
tioner stated in her bill of complaint and
then went to the court of Alexandria and
caused himself, in company with John H
Green, TO be appointed guardian for Miss
Meades. Both men are insoIvent in the
State OF Virginia she stated,
Mr. Burke has refused TO turn over
single penny to the petitioner, who is in
destitute circumstances, it was claimed
and she therefore asked the court to compel
him to turn the recovered money into the
registry of the court.

LOCAL OFFICES:
BRIGHT FOR REAL ESTATE.
Market Takes On a Good Tone and
Sales Are Brisk.

Sales Are Brisk.
According to real estate men, Washington
is rapidly recovering tone in that line of
business. They generally report a bright
ening Of the market a sure sign of Q brisk
winter. In conversation with a Times re-
porter Mr.. A. P. Pardon said to-day:
I'm regard to real estate 1 have not lost
property. While there is large number
of vacant houses in this city owing to dull
ness Of the times, Washington In this con-
nectiou compares favorably with other
cities. Washington, as Is well kno wn, is
the last to feel the bad effects of business
The District OF Columbia, above all other
places, should necessarily feel early the
effects of the revival Of business f rom the
fact that IL is the seat ofgovernnent.
THE sales of real estate in this District,
like those everywhere else, have been
slow the last few years, but then there
has been far less sacrifice of property
here than in any other portion of the coUn-
try. Persons who may desire to buy in
the city or suburbs will be disappointed in
obtaining IT at prices less than its real
value, or, in other words, at a sa acrifice.
In fact. 1 have known in the last fe "
months of the sale OF city lots, especially
In the northwestern and immediate sub
urban property, at an increase over prices
or three years ago. Thcreis no reason for
our people to bec ONE discouraged 1t
may be little while yet before sales will
be as brisk as heretofore, but 10 holders
OF good real estate should feel that they
have not No. ! investments Within the
next year OF two this fact will develop itself
and the holders will be agreeably sur
prised at the profits realized from their tu-
dicious Investments

COLUMBIA Is ALL RIGHT.
Experts Say the Cruisers Injuries
Are but Trivial.

The report of the board appointed to ex-
anime the cruiser Columbia in dry dock at
New York, to ascertain the extent of her
injuries received while in dry dock at South
ampton, England. was received by Acting
Secretary McAdoo last night, and after
reading it over this morning he telcgra phed
orders to the commandant of the Brook
lyn navy yard to have the necessary repairs
made at once.
The report shows that the damage sus
tanned by the vessel was trivial She was
not injured structurally, and the defects
noted by the board were merely local and
can be remedied at small expense. This
disposes of the sensational stories that the
Columbia was weakened structurally.
