NEEDS AHIGUARDIAN.
Lawrence Bennett Said to be In Need {
To A

Lawrence Bennett Said to be in Need of
Some One to Look After Him.
Donald Ross of this city has petitioned
the Superior Court to declare Lawrence
Bennett an incompetent. Some years ago
the latter was pressman in the employ
OF ID. S. Crocker u Co. in this city. His
father died some time ago, leaving him
considerable property in this city and in
Placer County, valued at about $21 200.
After his fathers death Bennett COM
menced on career of dissipation, and in
order to prevent him squandering all the
property Mr.. Ross yesterday took steps
to have him declared an incompetent.
Bennett owns LOTT in the block bounded
by and p, Fifth and Sixth streets, in
This city, and also the north 20 feet of the
south 50 feet of lot 4 in the block bounded
by l. and NJ, Third and Fourth streets,
and the following described land in
Placer County: The west half of the
northeast quarter. and the east half of the
northwest quarter of section %, township
l3 north, range Ii east, containing 100
acres; the southeast quarter Of section 26,
township Ii north, ranger east, except
ing the most westerly 10 2-3 acres OF the
north half of the quarter section. There
Is mortgage Of 81. 800 on the property in
the block between o and p, Fifth and
Sixth streets. and $500 mortgage on the
property In the block between l. and Nj,
Third and Fourth streets.
Ross states in his petition that Bennett
is not insane, but is incapable within the
meaning OF Section 1867 of the Code of
Civil Procedure. Ross also states that he
is friend of Bennett, is familiar with
the latter's property, and is in possession
and control of it, the same having been
intrusted to him by Bennett for safe
keeping and management, and if q
guardian for Bennett is to be appointed
he asked that he be selected as such
guardian. The petition states that Ben
nett himself, though questioning the
propriety ofthe application and denying
that any necessity has arisen for the ap-
pointment of guardian, nevertbele
desires Ross to act as such in case the
court appoints one.

AS WAS EXPECTED.
One of the Newsboys Finally Meets
With an Accident.

OHe OF IHe NeWsbOyS Finally Meets
With an Accident.
One of the fast-riding newsboys has at
last come to grief. Yesterday Joe
Bloomberg raced his horse up K street
with bundle of San Francisco papers.
He did not happen to run down anyone.
but at Seventh street his horse slipped
and fell upon him, dislocating one of his
hips.
The only wonder is that some of these
boys have not been killed while racing
their horses through the streets, or that
they have not killed or manned scores OF
people while doing their circus acts on
the public streets. 1t would seem as il
the conviction of batch of these BOYS
yesterday in the Police Court has had
little effect on the fraternity.

COUNTY NOTES.

A lively time was had at Johnston's
store, at Arlington, last Wednesday
night. Mr.. Duncan, an employe of the
Pennsylvania Railroad at st. Asaph
station, who is candidate in place OF
Mr.. Hume for the board of supervisors,
was the principal speaker, scoring Mr.:
II. for not taking possession OF the OLD
Alexandria and Washington pike (now
held by the railroad company and put
ting the same in good condition. The
facts are that Mr.. II. has been trying
to have the railroad people turn the
road over to the county authorities,
and at his own expense has been to
Philadelphia and had an interview
with the president of the road for that
purpose. AS it is well known, the Sec
rotary of War has not succeeded in
having the causeway and approaches to
the Long bridge put i'll order by the
company holding the franchise, it is q
matter of curiosity to know how an
employe of the company proposes car:
rying out his promises in that respect
to the voters of the county.
Much complaint having Deen maue
by the residents of st. Elmo and Del
Ray, the two suburban villages near
Alexandria, of a want of school faclll.
ties, an offer has been made by MIR.
Frank Hume to donate to the county
two lots at the intersection OF Mount
Vernon and Hume avenues for the pur.
pose named, at which point, if a school
be built, both subdivisions would be &C.
commodated and the best location OBJ
tanned without cost. The matter of the
construction of this. proposed school,
house was, at the meeting of the coun
ty school board held on Wednesday
last, referred by Superintendent O
Schools ]. E. Clements to Messrs. Rob
ertson, Salisbury and Sisson, trustee;
of school for Jefferson District, for spe
cial report at the next meeting of the

BURNING OF A BARN.-Mr. NJ. Schu-
lers barn, situated on the south side OF
the Virginia Midland Railway track,
about half mile west of the city, was
DESTROYED by fire about one o'clock this
morning. The fire was evidently OF an
incendiary origin. There was an insur-
ance on the structure. This barn has
been used by tramps as retreat for
wears, and though it has several times
been raided there is hardly night that
nomads haven't been in it. OF late
Mr.. Schiller has not been using it, and
the tramps who have been nesting un-
der its shelter have built fires from
boards pulled from the sides. Yester-
nay afternoon fire had been started
in it by some strangers, and Mr.. Schu.
Ter upon learning of the fact armed
himself with rifle and suddenly ap-
peared on the scene. All but two of
the tramps Ia white and q colored maD)
escaped, and ne conducted them to this
city and turned them over to Officer
Grady. When Mr.. Sch rentered the
barn the men were engaged in placing
boards on the fire which had been pull
Gu lTOlu uut SJIuCtutC. hO AAs'S VI oANAN
morning sentenced both to thirty
DAYS term on the chain gang. Schuler's
barn, strange as it may seem, is known
to tramps throughout the world. A
gentleman who was recently waiting :; t
the Midland depot for train became
engaged in conversation with an I'M
known itinerant who spoke of the barn
as a tramp's roost. The stranger said
that once on a dock in Liverpool
he was talking to one of his own caste
He told his companion he was coming
to America and the latter volunteered
some information regarding this part Of
the world. Among other things he
told hin, when he left Washington
he must not stop in Alexandris, but to
keep on about halfa mile outside the
city on the railroad track when he
would find barn in which he could
obtain shelter.
