Licenses for Dogs Not Taken Out
First Accident on the New
Zine.

The Elevator, Dock and Barge Company S
owners, the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company, yesterday sent their representa-
tives upon the scene of the connection Of
the Georgetown and Tenleytown rails with
theirs, on Water street, and ordered dis
continuance Of work. 1t appears that the
Georgetown corporation attempted con-
nection without entering into any sort of
agreement or getting permission from the
B. and 0. The need for 1t is but temper
airy one. There is much gravel, sand, etc.,
to be taken to Fort Reno reservoir works at
Tenleytown. and connection with the un-
used Water street tracks would have facili-
tated greatly the transportation from the
Wharves. The Elevator, Dock and Barge

street, and they. having prior right, could
sell out with profit. John NJ. Baker, G. w.
Cissell and ]. G. Waters were among the

corporation as yet has never taken advan-
tage OF the franchise.

There has been Il closer watch for dogs
this season than ever before. AS a conse-
quence, worthless ours and mongrels have
disappeared, and only desirable dogs now
compose the canine population. It's anoth-
er case of long live the patrician-down

rants to be issued in a day or two. Then,
as far as is known-and the hunt has been

of Rock creek will have found death at the
pound, or liberty by the tag.
