aud Police Alarm Boxes.

Chief DoIan and Superintendent Aydon
Inspect the Territory and Locate Fire
and Police Alarm Boxes.
One of the questions which has
bothered the local authorities. arising
out OF the annexation of the Highlands
has been settled by City Solicitor Elliott
who has submitted an opinion to the
effect that the district, while not paying
any tax this year, is entitled TO both
police and fire protection
Yesterday afternoon Chief Dolan and
Jonathan w. Aydon, Of the police fire
alarm telegraph system, made tour Of
che annel sd section, and decided that
tvs police boxes, one FIRE alarm box and
three patrolmen would be necessary One
police box will be located at Lowering
avenue and Union street, and the other,
as we'll as the fire alarm. will be placed
near the centre of the district
These three officers will have large
territory 20 cover, aud the suggestion
has been made that they be mouuted on
bicycles, although this has not been
decided upon. Another suggestion is
that all the officers in the outlying
districts be mounted on horses, as is
done in nearly all other cities of the size
Of Wilmington.
Chief Dolan had a conference with the
Police Committee OF Council last night
aud stated that this addition to ths
force would add to the cost Of running
his department, and there would II
consequences be deficiency In that part
Of the budget.
The matter will be considered to night
at the meeting Of City Council.

DEATH OF JOHN SHEA, JR.
1t Was the Result of Iajuries Received
Last Christmas.

1t Was the Result of Iajurfes Received
Last Christmas.
"Johnnie' Shea died last evening at the
residence of his parents. 325 Maryland ave
nue.. John Shea, ST., who has been serving
a term in the workhouse for violating the
liquor laws was released this morning, his
term of service having expired. and he
went at once to the bereaved home.
Some days ago. when 1t was known that
johnnie was dying, the father was paroled
from the workhcuse and was for some time
at the bedside Of his son.. The young man,
who was about thirty years Of age, had
never recovered from the effects of a fall
from a train in Pennsylvania two years
ago. and the manner Of his life was never
conducive to longevity. He did not change
his ways when his mother turned over a
new leaf and last Christmas day he was
out with some friends having good
time"
He was going along the avenue, and the
story as told now is that he got into an
alteration with some one, and either fell
or was thrown to the ground. At any rate,
he suffered injuries which FASTENED his end.
DR.. Percy Hickling attended him, and John
ME so far recovered as to be about and On
the streets. But lately he began TO fail,
and toward the end became greatly ema-
ciated He made no charges against any
one, and the stories as to the manner in
which he was hurt are so conflicting that
II is doubtful if they will ever be unrav-
eled. DR.. Hickling. who was with him to-
ward the close. reported the case to the
coroner. The most likely account of the
accident was to the effect that Shea STUN
bled and fell to the ground. This was told
by one of Shea's companions on his Christ
mas outing, and DR.. Hickling said this
morning that if the story was repeated he
would be inclined to give a certificate of
death from natural causes, as he could see
no good reason for any other course.

Lawyer.
Waterman P. Bagaly. the Washingtonian
who went all the way to Milan, Italy, to
get wife, apd who married a real countess.
Is now in serious trouble The count
ess is the third woman whom he has
taken as his wife, his first wives having
been divorced from him. His last wife has
now entered suit for divorce and has taken
all the testimony on her side of the legal
controversy. Now the husband is tncarcer-
ated in the lsane asylum, his arrest being
due to his conduct in 49, street eating
house Tuesday afternoon.
Lawyer Campbell Darlington. who Is the
wife's counsel in the case, has been assist
ed by Lawyer H. w. Wiswell, who has
taken most of the testimony. and In this
well. Tuesday afternoon Bagaly was in
the Office of Lawyer Johnson, his counsel.
when he saw Wiswell pass the door. He
followed him to the lunch room, and enter
ing the place drew a large pistol from his
pocket and pointed 1t in the lawyers face,
saying, Somebody is going to be killed to-
day, and it is not Lawyer Campbell Car
rington."
Lawyer Wisweu was badly frightened at
the sight of the weapon, but all he did was
to threaten the man with arrest if he did
not put away the pistol and leave the place.
Bagaly, who the lawyer says had been
drinking, walked out of the place ard dis
appeared.
Fearing he might do some trouble, Wis
well swore out warrant and had him
arrested. The case would have been tried
in Judge Nfiller's court today, but several
physicians examined the man who has
been three times a husband and declared
that the insane asylum was the place for
him.
When this had been done a no1le pros.
was entered in the case, and the unfor-
tunate man was sent over the river.
1t is said that Bagaly went or was sent
to the asylum some time ago. and when he
learned that his wife was going to apply
for a divorce he returned home, apparently
well.
Mrs. Olga Bagaly, the wife. 1t is alleged,
has spent more than 100000 on her Amer
lean husband, and Mr.. Darlington Is con-
fident she will be granted a divorce.

STILL MORE DELAY
Treasury Departments Ultimatum to Post
Office Contractors.

According to Information obtained at the
Treasury Department, Tharp & Bond the
New York contractors for ironwork on the
Washington city post Office, are delaying
their correspondence with the department,
just as they have been charged with having
delayed their work on the building The
eight days notice Of the termination of
their contract expired Saturday. The ope-
ration Of this notice was based on the con-
dition that the terms of the contract were
not fulfilled within the period stated.
The Last Letter.
Owing to the non-delivery of the necessa-
ry material no progress was made In the
work up to Saturday last. On that day
Assistant Secretary Hamlin, who had been
given special charge of the matter ad-
dressed a letter to the contractors, calling
for specific information as to the causes of
the non-performance of their contract, to-
gether with statement as to what might
be expected of them in the event of the
granting of their application for an extern
sion of time. They were given forty-eight
hours to reply. Nothing was heard from
them until yesterday.
An Unsatisfactory Reply.
Their letter was not satisfactory, mas
much as it failed to answer several i'm
portant interrogatories with respect to the
work.
1t formed the basis of a conference of
treasury officials yesterday afternoon, the
result of which was that Acting Secretary
Wilke sent Tharp & Bond an official tele-
gram making peremptory demand for
an explicit reply to the interrogatories con-
tanned in departments letter of Saturday
An answer to this telegram is expected in
tomorrow mornings mail, and If it is not
satisfactory, action will be taken that NAV
prove disastrous to the delinquent firm,
The Delay In the Work
The work on the building is DELAYED
mainly because Of the abserce of two iron
beams. Nearly 50 per cent of the iron ma
terial is on hand, but none of 1t can be put
in position until after the two beams in
question havesbeen put in place. The pros
ecution of the stone and brickwork is prac-
tically at standstill because of the same
circumstance, Information was received
at the Treasury Department that these two
beams were shipped from the mill at Potts.
vile. Pa, on the 9th instant, and should
arrive here today or tomorrow Their de-
livery would permit the prompt resumption
OF work on the entire ircn structure and
the stone and brickwork besides.
Everything at present depends on these
beams. and In case they arrive TODAY or
tomorrow, it is possible that the depart.
ment may conclude to extend the time of

ter position to complete the work than the

STREET EXTENSION PLANS
Recommendations Made by tho Oommis-
sioners Today.
Changes In the--Reeent Plans-The
Pr0longation of Vermont
Avenue.

The Commissioners today recommended
to the highway commission a number OF
important changes In the street extension
plan.
Maj. Powell requested a meeting OF the
board Of Commi issioners this morning short
ly alter the Office opened to consider these
matters. The meeting was held in Maj.
PowelPs room, where the maps OF the
street extension plan, together with sev-
eral detailed maps showing the proposed
changes, were on exhibition. For 20 two
hours the Commissioners considered the
matter, taking up the suggestions and
recommendations one by cne and disposing
at them.
The first thing decided was to recommend
the extension of 9Th street through lie
Droit Park about one-half square to New
Jersey avenue, In order to make the street
continuous. .s-.
Vermont Avenue Extended.
Then. upon recommendation of Maj Pow
ell. 1t was decided to urge the extension OF
Vermont avenue to the Whitney avenue
gate to the Soldiers Home. The avenue
will be run its regular width of 100 feet
until 1t reaches New Jersey avenue, where
the width will be reduced ten feet making
the avenue 120 feet wide from that point
to the Soldiers Home gate. At the inter-
section Of New Jersey avenue where the
width Of the avenue is reduced a circle
has been recommended in order to mask
the width Of the avenue as well as a small
detection which takes place at this point.
The avenue, according to the present high
way extension plan, terminates at 9TH
street.
AS it is the only one of the city avenues
leading to the Soldiers Home directly from
the Executive Mansion, 1t is considered
highly desirable that 1t should be extended
unorokcn to a nearer entrance to the
home. The decrease in width and the
small detection recommended removes the
present objections, which formerly applied
against the laying out of the avenue be-
yond 18th street. From glance at the
new extension it Is seen that it will not in
terfere with the Howard University nor
the new reservoir.
proion ngation westward of Binney street
west of 18th street. The change consists
of removing that part of the street five
feet north, in order that the roadbed and
sidewalk may be on direct lines, and not
make jogs at 18th street, as they other
wise would.
The Kn1oramn Region.
In the Kalorama subdivision an import
ant change has been recommended. The
Commissioners now believe that 23d street
should be prolonged southwark to Sheridan
Circle, and north to Belmont road. They
recommend the abandonment OF that por-
ton of the plan which provides for the
widening of Decatur place, which, accord
ing Ito the new recommendation, will re-
main sixty feet wide.
A further change in this locality consists
In the extension ;iorthward of 23d street to
5 street. and In Indicating upon the maps an
intended Place street from California ave-
nue. to kalorama. street nearly on line with
Phelps place. ="

New Administrator Asked for by the
Heirs.
When the late James L. Barbour died
leaving an estate said to- be valued at
about $l.OOO.OO0, his son, Harrison S. Bar
bour, was appointed administrator. The
sen gave a bond of $500, 900 for the faith

Oliver Thompson, B. j. Earnshaw, O. G..
Staples. Albert Carey and Mr.. Barbour's
four sisters. Mrs Mary Y. Mccartney. Mrs.
Annie E. Irwin, Miss Virginia Barbour and
Miss Annie Barbour. >. -.tu.,
Some time ago, it is said, the heirs be-
came dissatisfied with Mr.. Barbour's man.
agemnnt of the estate, and it Is understood
vas entered into between him and the
heirs, by which he agreed that Mr.. John A.
Hamilton be placed in charge of the firm
of James L. Barbour & Son, and
that he would resign and ask for the
appointment of receiver if. upon an
examination it appeared that his con-
duet Of the estate was unsatisfactory.
Messrs Frank Hume; N. H. Shea and Chas.
p. Bear were appointed a committee to
make the investigation, and it Is alleged
that on the 14th Of last month they re-
ported that there was shrinkage of about
$4,000 in the assets of the firm UP to the
10th of last May, about o,000 of that sum
being in the business of the Washington
Flour and Feed Company
Upon the submission Of the committees
report. 1t is said that Mr.: Barbour declined
to resign, and late yesterday afternoon a
bill in equity was filed by Mrs. Annie E.
Barbour, mother of the administrators, and
the other heirs, charging Mr.. Barbour with
inccmpetency and inattention to business
and asking for an accounting by him, the
appointment of a receiver, and that he be
restrained from removing Mr.. John A.
Hamilton as manager of the business CT the
firm Of James l.. Barbour & Son, and from
mourning any liability on behalf of the firm
or estate or transferring any of its assets
The petition was presented to Chief Justice
Bingham, who granted a temporary re-
straining order. returnable next Wednes-
day.
Mrs. Barbour and the heirs also filed in
the Probate Court a petition, praying for
the removal of Mr.. Barbour as admnistra-
tor of the estate. and that he be required
to file an account. His bondsmen petitioned
the same court to require Mr. Barbour to
give counter security. and in the event of
his failure to do SO, that the estate be
placed in the hands of some other admins
traitor. Chief Justice Bingham directed
that a rule issue against Mr.. Barbour, re-
quiring him to show cause, Wednesday
next. why the two petitions should not be
granted.
