ADMITS IT'S INSOLVENCY. I.
Directors of the Ha mmond Sanitarlnm
Company Co Into Court.

Directors of the Iia mmond Sanitarlum
Company Co Into Court.
The Hammond Sanitarium Company has
repudiated the act>of its president, Dr.
william A. Hammond, who brought suit
for an accounting against the company's
treasurer, DR.. Malon Hutchinson, and has
asked the court To dismiss the suit.
The board OF directors held meeting
in Chicago last week, when they passed
resolutions TO the effect that the presi-
dents suit was brought without any kuowl-
edge of or consultation with the board
and that there was no reason or neces-
slty for it.
The directors intimated that as Messrs.
Hammond and Hutchinson are the joint
medical directors of the sanitarium, II
is to the best interests OF the company that
the hatchet OF personal difference bespeedily
and deeply buried between them. II that
could not be done, then the directors agreed
there ought to be a receiver appointed i'm
mcdiately for the company.
The Hammond Sanitarium Company then
authorized its counsel, Judge John T.
Goodrich, to ask for the dismissal of it's
own suit, which, however, it asserted, was
its own in name only. Judge Goodrich
filed such petition Tuesday.
The company yesterday filed an answer to
DR.. HutchInson's prayer for 4 receiver for
itself, and said that his statements about
the sanitarium's insolvency were true.
Judge Goolrick also appeared as DR.. Hutch
inson's attorney, and had issue been Joined
at any stage of the proceedings the situa-
ton would have been a ludicrous one.

AT S5 a Month and Rene
dies Furnished Until
Saturday, Nov. 2.

For several days DR.. Walkers offices have
been crowded and many who could not
wait We're compelled to go home or back
TO business without an interview. Others,
whose pay day was not until the Ist of
the month, wrote and made request
for an extension OF time Stnl others
both inside and outside the city asked
for an extension for various reasons, that
the doctor at last determined to reopen
his offer and to give the general public
the benefit of the low rate for another
10 days.
During this time he will accept all
cura Bile cases, furnish remedies, office treat
meDt and professional advice and treat
them TO cure at the same rate. No one
who becomes patient OF the doctor no W
VIII ever be required to pay n larger fee
during treatment for his present or any
future disorder.
Also this low rate Includes every disease
or complication that your case may pre-
sent. Whether you have one OF n half
dozen diseases, the cost will be the same.
DR.. Walkers phenomenal success / n
the treatment OF all chTouic and deep
seated diseases OF long standing has made
his name familiar to all. His detcrmina-
ton 10 bring his services within the reach
of those who could not otherwise secure
them has been appreciated by the whole
community.
All DR.. Walkers drugs are of the purest
and best. His medical laboratory is stocked
with fhore complete stock or drugs
than any retail drug store in the city.
His low fee for remedies and treatment
scarcely covers the cost of remedies used.

THAT SPEECH OF TAYLoR's.
president Cleveland May Decide 10
Remove Him From Office.

Interest in Recorder of Deeds Taylor
address before the Republican mass-ineet-
ing night before last has not abated among
the politicians here. His friends say that
jt was the most indiscrcet thing that the
recorder could have done.
Knowing as he does Mr.. Cleveland s
position as 10 officials participating in
politics, TayloT's friends say that he must
certainly have been off when he visited
the meeting and consented to be par
tlcipant in the speechmaking.
TayloT's part in the meeting has, IL is
said, given the President good cause
for his removal, and that IL is an oppor-
tunity he has been awaiting.
1t was said yesterday that the Civil
Service Reform Association, of which Mr..
W. h. Webb is president and Mr.. F. l..
siddons secretary, would again urge the
President 10 remove Taylor.
Mr.. Siddons deniedtbis, and in conY versa ton
with Times reporter said:
The association will take no notice
Of Mr.. Taylor's recent performance The
association did all that 1t could when Mr..
Taylor was before the civil service board,
and we made oGt a strong case, but the
President has up to now dIsregarded the as
ISOLATION entirely in this matter, and as
Mr. Taylor seems acceptable to the PresI-
dent, we shall do nothing more unless, per
haps, Mr.. Taylor should violate the civil
service rules"
While Taylor's friends are uneasy about
him, lie seems well satisfied about the sit
uation, and says that the opposition TO him
cannot harm him.

How the "Black America" Company
Appears Behind the Scenes.

The crowds that nightly flock to "Black
America" playing TO large houses at Con-
vention Hall this week, see only one phase
of the life of the 300 members of the com
pany. Behind the scenes with them begins
back OF the canvas that wrcathes the great
stage and extends 10 the train OF nine
cars on the Il. & o. sidirg.
At the hall the sights that are hid from
the eyes OF the audience are largely
like those in any thcatcr. with the perforDr
ers arranged as carelessly as their free,
unframed natures dictate, over trunks,
seats, and piles of scenery. There is a
constant buzz, a hum, and n scuffle, in
fact, the whole performance in miniature.
At the train they live. The long row OF
specially built cars serves rs dininG-rooms
that are anon converted into sleeping
chambers where the conteuteI negroes
doze away the hours after the performance.
Save for the modern color given the
scene by the rolling habitations, plantation
life is enacted as truly there as it is on
the stage.
With the other cars stands that OF hos
pitable Mr.. Salisbury, who owns the show.

INFIRMITIEs NO, HANDICAP
Blind and Lame Pencil Vendors in
a One Sided FisticuG.
sightless Man Fell on His Crippled
Antagonist ana Put Him Out of
the Ring.

A novel battle between blind man and
a cripple was witnessed yesterday after
noon, on the south side of Pennsylvania
avenue, between First and Second streets
The unfortunate men are rivals In the busi
ness of selling Lead pencils to passcrs by.
The cripple, whose lower limbs arc badly
twisted, had made himself q nest OF dried
leaves close to the Botanical Garden fence.
There he sits day after day, holding out a
package OF pencils, requesting those who
pass to buy his wares.
The blind man, whose name is said TO
be Samuel Saltcr, has been sta ntIing against
the fence near Third street. Yesterday,
for some reason, the sightless man had
his leader, a small colored boy, guide him
to point near the nest OF the cripple.
Matters went along smoo,n enough until
the men commenced TO banter cacp other.
Then a fight ensued.
The cripple was the aggresSor and work
ing his way towards tue blind man gave
hnn several sharp raps across the Sims with
the short cane he carries. With yell of
pain the bind man sprang into the air and
eluued his aSsaIiant Tien with the re-
mark: I'm do you, you dog" he COM
:mcnccd to grope about to locate the badly
twisted Individual.
1ney liniiiy caIuc together and Saiter
managed TO fan upon the human nest egg,
and crushed the breath out OF him. The
cripple aiso got in several hard iicks with
his snort stick. The men then clinchcd and
the cripple would have been badly done
up, no doubt, had not some one shouted:
Break away, the police are coming"
The colored boy who had been enjoying
the novel scrap was called into requsi;ion
and quickly led his blind employer around
First street and into the Capitol park.
A few seconds later Policeman Mulvey
came upon the scene, bnt not having seen
the fight cou.d not arrest the cripple.
The latter says he is going TO the police
court to-day and swear out warrant
against his sightless antagonist. whu. he
declares, is big enough to eat him up.

STOPPED BY Mr.. PHILLIPS
No More Transfers From His Line
TO the lexington.
Suburban Citizens VIII Suffer by q
New Arrangement Which Soon
Goes Into Effect.

The public Will again be sufferer ow-
Ing to the recent manipulation or the
Metropolitan and lexington & Soldiers
Home railways transfer systems. Here
toiore the Metropolitan Railway has is
sued transfers TO the Eckington passcn-
gers ut Fifth and + streets and also at
Fifth and Louisiana avenue. In the past
three weeks they have entered into nego-
tiations with the lexington officials tn
transfer with the Belt line; also with the
G street lines at all intersecting points.
Tuesday President Phillips sent word
To Vice President tray, OF me lexington,
that not only all pending negotiations are
at an end, but that after November i Gil
transfers between the roads Will cease.
Various reasons are assigned ut the Metro
politan office for this change of base.
One is that the Belt line and lexington
road have for tue most part only horse
cars whereas the Metropolitan on the
Ninth street line has rapid transit serv-
ice and on + street is making prepara rations
to duplicate this method. In transferring
with these roads they therefore, IL is
claimed. give much more than they receive
The Metropolitan also claims that IL is
better policy not to hayc>the transfer sys-
tenn general among the roads, ana that IL Is
to the advantage of them all to dispense
are under one management, as is the case
of the Eckingt ton and Belt Line roads.
Speaking of this new policy, Vice Presi-
dent Gray, of the lexington, said yester-
day to Times reporter, that their road
has always favored the free transfer sys-
tens. In the early days of their operations
they lad entered into negotiations with
President Dunlap, of the Washington &
Georgetown road, to give transfers from
the terminus of tie electric road, Seventh
and New York avenue. to the cable, thence
to the Capitol and Georgetown via the
Avenue.
THIS arrangement continued In operation
for some time before President Dunlop de-
cided to inaugurate the present policy
that of pa wing two cents for a transfer.
In regard to the message which President
Phillips has sent to him concerning the end
of cooperation between the roads, Mr..
Gray said that one of the reasons alleged
by the Metropolitan official is both unjust
and untrue. This refers to the statement
Mr.. Phillips makes that the conductors of
the Fifth street line issue transfers so long
before the intersecting points are reached
ana for such n length OF time that the pass
eugers have an ample opportunity to make
purchases, pay visits, or attend To any
other business before catching their car.
For this reason, Mr.. Phillips says, it does
not Justify the Metropolitan to receive
transferred passengers from the Ecking-
ton line.
Mr.. Gray says that this is absolutely un-
true. The conductors on the Fifth street
line issue the transfer one square before
the in,ersecting point is reached, and that
the transfer is good for only ten minutes.
II is therefore quite obvious, Mr.. Gray
stated, that Mr.. Phillips wished to close
negotiations and was at loss to assign
q reason.

BUSINESS MEN TRIUMPH.
President Phillips VIII Not Tear Up
j Street During fhe Holidavs

President Phillips, of the Metropolitan
Railway, has decided that the public has
some rights, which must occasionally be
respected. In regard TO the account pub
hshed In The Morning Times, concerning
he proposed construction of the electric
road during the most active business sea
son, the Officials now think that ..yox
populi" must be heard.
a delegation of citizens headed by Mr.
s. W. Woodward waited on President
Phillips and have received his assurance
that the road will be begun at both ends
OF the line ND should the workmen reach
what is regarded us the business section of
street, the WORK will be discontinued until
early spring.
The business men appear satisfied with
this promise. particularly since it is highly
improbable that the work will be suffi-
cienuy advanced from Capitol Hill and
Georgetown TO arrive at the central localities
of F street before January or February. n
tie farthest.
