Didn't Take Place.

The charity concert scheduled for last
evening at the Grand Opera House did not
take place, owing to difficulties between
the management and the Marine Band on
money matters. When the time for the
raising of the curtain arrived the members
of the band refused to go on with the pro-
gram because their money was not forth
coming. They had been engaged by G.
Vanmetre Gates to perform, with the I'M
derstanding that they should be paid at 4
o'clock. This had been extended to q
o'clock, but no money appeared. There
were but few people in the house. and
after a delay of some minutes Manager
Allen caused an announcement to be made
that there would be no concert, and that
ticket purchasers would be reimbursed at
the box office. This arrangement was car
ried out. except to those who had pur-
chased tickets from Mr.. Gates himself.
There was an alteration in the box Office
between MessTs. Allen and Gates, during
which. IL is stated, Mr.. Allen slapped the
face of Mr.. Gates. The opera house had
been donated free of cost by Mr.. Allen.
Mr.. Gates declares that there will be
sequel 10 the affair, and that he is loser to
the extent of SlOD.

Frozen Water Pipes.

10 the Editor of The Evening Star:
The question of frozen and bursted wa
ter pipes has been a question of vital in
terest to many people in Washington dur
ing the last ten days. There are diverse
opinions as to the cause or causes of these
disasters to househoiders. Exposed pipes,
defective plumbing and failure to allow the
water to run at night, but it seems there
is one serious defect in our water system,
which lies deeper Tor not deep enough than
exposed pipes or defective plumbing. In
my own case there We're no defective pipes
or plumbing and yet the house service pipe
was frozen outside the wash pane. NO pipes
had ever frozen before since the house was
built twenty-five years ago. When the
street was dug up and the pipes exposed the
street main was found to be only two feet
below the top of the street pavement, Whlle
the service pipe at its connection with the
main was only sixteen inches below the
pavement and the ground was frozen hard
for twenty inches The present regulations
require the main to be laid four feet below
the pavement. If we ever have another
spell of freezing weather equal to the re-
cent one what is to prevent recurrence
of the difficulty? Allowing the water to
run at night might be a protection, but
that practice is said to be Illegal and sub
jects the offender to a penalty. NJ.

SUBURBAN TRANSFERS.
Arrangements in Progress to Put the
Agreement Into Eject.


Mr.. George E. Emmons, the president OF
the Georgetown and1 Tenleytown railroad,
in the course of conversation with
Star reporter, saidsthat arrangements were
being made as rafiidiy as possible to put
into practical operation the agreement in
regard to transfers. which was recently
determined upon by the representatives OF
the verious street railroads of the District
AS is well known, under the terms of this
agreement, transfers will be given. from
city roads to suburban roads, and vice
versa, on the payment of three cents. In
some cases two cents will be charged for
transfers between 1city lines, and in other
cases no extra change will be made for
the transfers. The amendment to the
metropolitan bill, recently favorably re-
ported by the House District committee,
provides for the sale of four tickets for
quarter. which will be good for contin-
uous ride on the Metropolitan and inter-
secting suburban roads. If this measure
becomes law it will apply only to the
metropolitan road and the suburban lines
intersecting with it. and will be carried out
IN conjunction with the general agreement
winch affects all roads.

4 POINT SCORED AGAINST MRS. HOWELL.

THE ALLEGED INCRlMINATING LETTERS FINALLY
ADMITTED AS EVIDENCE
WelIsboro Penn Dec AFTER a four days fight
for the admission of documentary evidence in the
Charlotte Howell murder case, the Commonwealth
this morning succeeded in having admitted three
letters which have bearing on the case. and which
the prosecution asserts Will identify Mrs. Howels
handwriting, and connect her with pencil-printed
note found or the floor of the Toga postoftice. BY
the evidence Of Postmaster McAlaster 1t was shown
that he picked up this letter from the floor just
after Mrs Howell left the posoffice. Mr.. McAaster
also swore to Mrs. Howells signature on an appli-
cation for a money order. The letter the witness
found on the floor addressed 10 Mrs. Howell
and It was printed in Roman capitals Il was a
profane and vulgar ep.stle. but it contained a
confession of the poisoning OF Libbie Knapp, and a
threat 10 Mrs. Howell, not to push the matter or
she would suffer for 1t. The letter was signed in
script by the name of William Rghtmire, who was
Iibb.e Knapp's discarded lover. The letter and the
application were put in evidence TO prove that Mrs.
Howell wrote the letter addressed herself TO d.
vert suspicion 10 Rightmre.
Another letter admitted which was written
and signed by Mrs. Howell 1t had been sent to
Mr. Waters. at Emira, n. Y. inclosing one OF the
printed notes which she said she had found pinned
to the door Of the house This Is further dentlnca-
ton of Mrs. Howers handwriting The Common
wealth then rested It's case.
The counsel for the defence thereupon asked to
have all the evidence relative TO the expert analysis
OF the dead girls vital organs in which nearly four
grains OF arsenic found. stricken out. the
ground OF gross careleSsness the part OF the
Coroner in the care of them while In his hands.
The Court denied the motion. Major Merrck, the
counsel for the defence, then moved for the dis
charge of the prisoner because he alleged the
Commonwealth had not npde out case against
her. lie took up the evidence. step by step and
showed It's weakness. The District Attorney argued
that evidence enough had been presented to compel
the defence at least to explain away some damaging
testimony against Mrs. Howell before the jury.
Further argument Will be made this motion
tomorrow morning. and then the court will decide
whether the counsel for Mrs. Howell will have to
put I'm a defence not.
