There is some prospect that suit will be
brought for damages for false arrest IN
behalf of 7. W. Gilner, who was recently
before the police court on the charge OF
having violated the garbage regulations.
The charge alleged against Mr.. Gilmer
is understood to have been dismissed by
Judge Kmball, upon the charge that the
regulations did not apply.
Subsequently application was made to
the police department, and referred 10 the
Commissioners, for copies of all letters ana
papers in the case, with their iDdorse-
ments.
The Commissioners replied yesterday,
stating that they could not furnish the
copies asked for, but that Mr.. Gilmer, OF
some one for him, will be permitted to exam
inc any papers connected with the charge
preferred, as now Oh file, at any time that
may suit his convenience.
Health Officer Woodward declined yester-
dayto have an analysis made by the chemist
in his office of the stomach taken from the
body of John N. Sanford, upon ITS recent
eXhunlation, basing his Objection upon the
grounds that the facilities of his laboratory
are inadequate.
The test to be made is an important one,
he said, the result of which may be re-
tNItltDtt W btNiic a 'ito' 'S'HN'
He was, therefore, averse to having any
thing TO do with il officially, and sug-
gested that an application be made TO the
court to have the remains placed III 'ne
hands of a chemist whose facilities VIII
be annie and the result of whose test can
be depended upon.
CITIZENS FILE A PROTEST.
The Northeast Washington Citizens Asso-

pointed for the purpose, filed protest
with Engineer Commissioner -Poweii yes
terday against the encroachments upon the
roadway of Delaware avenue, between ii
and | streets, by the District and the H.
and o. Railroad Company.
The committee allege that nearly the
entire roadway of the avenue is occupied,
the District having used the space as
property yard, and the railroad having a
siding located there, to the injury of prop
erty abutting on the avenue.

is materially deprecated by the obstruc-
tions, and the committee asked for relief

The Anti-Saioon League Is firm in its
determination to contest the granting of

400 feet of church or school, and the

fendant in the contemplated proceedings.
the excise board having recently taken
favorable action upon the application of
the proprietOrs.
The attorney for the league was not
present when the license to the Grafton
was authorized, but he had entered
protest. and when seen yesterday stated
that the matter would in all probability be
carried elsewhere.
There are two or three ways by which
the contest can be made, but it is more
than likely that the proprietors will be
brought into police court. as soon as it can
be established that sales have been made.

Powell yesterday, with respect to future
railway enterprises In the Northwest.
The citizens of Mount Pleasant are
anxious to know what Congress will have
before it in the way of bills for new pro-
jects in that line, and are getting ready for
the campaign.

wholly ignore the people, and the road that
goes the peoples way will have the leverage
of a strong popular expression.

of the residents that the proposed road shall
traverse Seventeenth street extended in q
