About q Note.

In bill in equity filed by Glenn w.
Cooper against Byron G. Daniels, the lat
ter is charged with unlawfuliy appropri-
ating the formers note for $500, dated
May %, 1895, payable in ninety days. The
complainant alleges that Mr.. Daniels told
him that he knew of some one in the
Treasury Department who would loan him
SOD, and for obtaining this loan, Mr.
Cooper says, he agreed TO pay the defend
ant $50. He handed him the note, and the
defendant stated that he would go across
the street to the Treasury Department and
obtain the money at once. Mr.. Cooper
states that the defendant did not return
and he made an unsuccessful hunt for him
for two days. Finally he met Daniels on
the street Saturday morning, when Dan
iels explained that he had the note in
escrow in a transaction which he was ne
gotiating for 81, 800. He did not state who
held the note, but said he expected to OBJ
tain the money right away, and would see
the complainant at noon that day in the
Ebbitt House. Mr. Cooper says that the
defendant failed to keep the appointment.
and that afternoon he advertised in The
Star warning all persons against accepting
1t. For the reasons stated in his bill of
complaint, Mr.. Cooper asked for an in
Junction restraining the defendant from
disposing of the note, and for an order to
compel him to disclose the name of the
person who received it. Judge Cox granted
temporary restraining order, returnable

statement that the contractor doing the

his force. starting in and continuing with q
smaller outfit than the work was ever done

tract was awarded / believe Major Davis
was superintendent of the street sweeping
department. He was always considered u
very efficient official, and / would like for
him to inform US. through The Star. why
the contractor was allowed to designate his
force and to commence work with an out
fit that he as superintendent, must have
known was insufficient. i have always un-
derstood that he protested against the
whole business, but was overruled by the
Commissioners. The taxpayers of WASH

looseness in business methods on the part
of public officials, and 1t is due to them
that they should know why this inefficient
service was saddled upon the city.

Formerly n Resident of Washington.


The death of Mr.. Jasper Smith, who was
for many years a resident CT Washington,
has recently been officially reported to the
Department of State by Consul Lathrop
at Bristol, England. Mr.. Smith was born
at Coeymans, N. Y. in 1877, and graduated
with high honors from Union College, Sche-
nectadys in 1885. He was a warm personal
friend OF William H. Seward, by whom he
was appointed chief of one of the consular
bureaus of the Department of State, while
Mr.. Seward was Secretary. In 1865 he mar
ried Miss Emily kieckhoefer of Washing
ton. Shortly thereafter he entered the con-
sular service, and rendered coed service at
several important posts, notably Noting
ham ard Newcastle, in England. Failing
health caused MIR. Smith to retire from the
consular service some years ago An at
tack of influenza, not sufficiently cared for
by him, resulted in an attack of Dneumo-
nia which finally proved fatal. Mr.. Smiths
amiable and estimable qualities gained for
him many friends here and abroad.

Lost His Job.

Wilson Holland. colored man, who has
been Police Court juror during the pres
ent term of the court, was excused with
the others from last week until today.
But he was SO much in love with
the court that he could not remain
away yesterday. He appeared in the role
of defendant to be judged instead of as
juror to judge others. and Judge Miller
held him guilty of violating a law because
Of disorderly gathering and fight in
which he participated.
The juror was fined SO, the amount Of
five days fees as Juror. and today when
he appeared the court excused him from
further service.
