He Would Not Hear the Street OBJ

He Would Not Hear the Street OBJ
structiOn Cases.
Judge Miller this morning decided that he
would not hear the so-called obstruction
cases brought before him by Mr.. Pugh yes
terday after Judge Kimball had ruled that
he would postpone all cases Of that class
AS heretofore published in The Star in
these particular cases the defendants sued
out writs of certiorari in order to take the
cases to the Criminal Court, and Mr.. Pugh.
claiming that they were taken I'D for the
purpose OF gaining delay, concluded to
file charges every day against the persons
who are occupying the public spaces for
private purposes. When this was attempt
ed Judge Kimball made an order continu-
ing the additional charges, and Mr. Pueh
dissatisfied with the action Of Judge KIM
ball. went before Judge Miller.
When the cases were under discussion
yesterday Judge Miller intimate ted that he
would have heard the cases had they come
before him In the usual course of business,
but as they had been brought up over
Judge Kimballs head he desired time to
consider the question.
Could Not Hear Them.
Today when Mr.. Pugh called the courts
attention to the matter Judge Miller said
he had concluded that under the circum-
stances he could not well hear the cases.
Under the assignment of business the Judge
said the cases would naturally come before
Judge kimball and as the judg, had made
an order in such cases he would have TO
pass upon the order of the other Judge in
order to hear the cases. and this he would
not do. Had the cases come before him in
the regular order of business he would hear
them. or If they came to him by request of
Judge Kimball or during the latters alb
sence, but coming as they did he could not
hear them.
1t is said that the cases cannot be reach
ed in the upper court earlier than Septeni-
Der or October, and unless Judge Miller
hears them during the summer vacation CT
his colleague the merchants will be able to
fall.
Today Mr.. Pugh filed additional charges
against many merchants and the cases
went over.

A Bold Burglar.

Yesterday morning before daybreak a
daring robbery was committed at the resi-
dence of Mr.. George w. Noble. No. G31
Sheridan avenue, in the county, where The
burglar gained an entrance by climbing
through the second-story window that had
been left open on account Of the warm
weather 1t is thought likely that the
burglar used chloroform, for he operated
in the room where Mr.. Noble and his wife
were sleeping, and not only took So from
the pockets of Mr. Mobiles clothes but he
also took a gold ring from Mrs. Mobiles
finger The effort required to get the ring
bruised Mrs. Mobiles finger. but she knew
nothing of what had taken place until she
got UP at breakfast time. Detective
Rhodes was notified yesterday of what had
happened at the house, and the officers are
looking for the burglar.

Kate Sellers Accused of n Consider.
able Robbery.
Kate Sellers, woman who has been a
victim of strong drink for a number of
years, found her way to the Police Court
today and Judge Miller held her for the
grand jury on serious charge. The COM
plant that she stole. $40 and some clothing
was made by Mr.. d. S. Sullivan of Capitol
Hill, where she was employed as a do
mestic. Years ago this woman was well
known here and had many friends. Her
husband, Charles Sellers, was one of the
best tailors in the city, but strong drink
killed him. 1t was in an effort to cure him
of the liquor habit that she became fond of
alcoholic stimulants. and during the past
few years she has figured in police circles
and has spent much of her time ON the
farm.
Mrs. Sullivan had more than 500 in her
machine drawer and the key was kept be-
hind marble altar. In order TO get the
key the altar was demolished with a
Ratchet and only 500 of the 500 was
taken.
The money was taken in March, and De-
tective Rhodes has since made a number
of efforts to apprehend the woman, but it
was not until yesterday that she was ar
rested. In sending the case to the grand
jury Judge Miller fixed the bond at $1,000.
in default of which the woman was sent TO
Jail.

lor shot his wife at their home on 18th
street southeast last September. and while
the Court of Appeals has affirmed the judg-
ment of the trial court, the President will
be asked to commute the death sentence

seph A. Beam, who shot his stepdaughter,
Mrs. Annie l.. Leahy. to death on Mary
land avenue northeast, December 3D. 1894,

Along the upper canal particularly the
growth of grass on the bed of the water

Cornice workers insist that their bosses,
by custom, are required to furnish scat
folding In evidence Of this they show the
printed blank used when contracting with
general contractor or his agent, adopted
c. year ago, Endorsed by cornice bosses. 1t
states that employees are to have the free
use OF any existing scaffolding until their
work is finished. and any further scaffold-
ing required Is to be furnished by the con-
tractor for whom the work is being done
This blank was shown at the recent in
quest on the two men who fell while at

do not know how to build scaffolding, and
only men experienced in. building 1t should
be employed or allowed to put up scaffolds.

An Eishtecn-Ycar-OId Girl Falls From

the Wharf.
A colored girl, named Emma Jones, eigh-
teen years old, who graduated from How
ard University this week. was drowned at
Glymont last night. She went down on
the boat in the afternoon, and when the
steamer whistled for the excursionists to
get on beard for the return Miss Jones
hurried from the grounds and when she
was about to step on the boat she missed
her footing and fell overheard. A man on
the boat jumped overheard and made an
effort to rescue her. but without success,
as her body did not rise to the surface, SO
far as could be seen. The unfortunate girl
lived at 1904 18th street. 1t Is likely that
an effort is being made today to recover
her body. Persons who attended the eX-
cu-sion say that there were no safeguards
on the wharf last night and they also say
that the wharf was not well lighted.

GLENwooD LOT OWNERS PROTEST..
Indignant at the Proposal to Run
Streets Through Their Grounds.

Streets Through Their Grounds.
Another step in the movement to pre-
vent the extension of streets through Glen
wood cemetery under the plans recently
approved by the District Commissioners
was taken last night when about five hun
dred lot holders in the cemetery assem-
bled at Masonic Hall and Indignantly pro-
tested against what was termed the desc
Grafton of the silent city in the interest, as
was charged, of a real estate syndicate
The action was in line with the course of
the board of trustees of the cemetery in
instituting legal proceedings to enjoin the
plans
Mr.. George w. Cochran presided at the
meeting and remarks were made by Mr.
Lewis Clephane. secretary and treasurer
Domer. pastor of St. Paups Lutheran
Church; Rev. John Hairless Col. J. M Viii
son. DR.. Daniel Mcfarland, Mr.. Solomon
]. Fague and Mrs. Sara ]. Spencer.
Criticisins the Commissioners.
Mr.. Clephane gave detailed report Of
the action and experiences of the trustees
with the District Commissioners from the
time the project of street extensions was
first considered and broadly intimated that
the cemetery was to be sacrificed in the
interest of real estate syndicate, of which,
he said, Mr.. D0bblnS OF Philadelphia and
Senator John Sherman were members. 1t
was alleged by another gentleman that
Mr.. Joseph Paul was also actively interest
ed in the transaction. Mr.. Fague held the
Commissioners to blame in the matter and
DR.. Domer said it was marvellous that cit
liens should ind 1t necessary to defend
themselves from the authorities delegated
to guard their interests.
Rev. DR.. Harries said that the proposed
dissertation Of Gods acre was not to reduce
rents or to help the struggling poor blu.
meant the disturbance of the bones by the
sacrilegious hands of mercenary specula-
tors Of those who had assisted in up
building the city.
Resolutions Adopted.
Resolutions were presented by DR.. Domer
and adopted without dissenting voice.
They say that the action Of the Commits
sioners in plating streets to pass through
the property of the Glenwood cemetery is
not only in direct violation of the rights
granted by charter. but is also In violation
Of the formal agreement made with the
trustees on the 31st day of December, 1850.
THAT the plating of said streets can
but be regarded as direct and deliberate
attack upon our cemetery, because such
streets are in no manner intended, or
necessary for, the extension of the present
streets of the city, but solely in the inter-
ests, apparently, of land spectators
THAT the action Of the board of trus-
tees in instituting proceedings before the
courts to prevent the carrying out Of
the plans of the Commissioners receive our
earnest approval"
The board of trustees was given a vote
of thanks for their defense of the rights of
the cemetery and the meeting adjourned.
