Another suit growing out OF the pro-
posed street extension scheme was insti-
tuted against the District Commissioners
yesterday afternoon when Mr.. Sheldon Jack
son filed bill in equity asking to have
The Commissioners restrained from filing
with the surveyor of the District the plat
of the proposed extension of the city.
thoroughfares.
The petitioner is the owner of lots 8, 6,
and Z In Whitney Close. At present these
lots border on Warder street, he states
in his petition. According to the plan
now under consideration this street is to
be abandoned in the new Washington.
fthat intention is carried out. Mr.. Jackson
asserts, lots and 6 OF his property will ct
left without any outlet. 1t is true, he
states. that Vermont avenue is to be ex-
tended, but the petitioner will be deprived
of any benefit thereby, because a portion
thirty feet wide OF the old Warder street
will Intervene between his property and
the street.
The act of March 2, 1893, under which
the street extension is to be carried out,
makes no provision, the petitioner states,
for the asccrtainment and payment of dam
ages 10 property holders who may suffer
damages from the abandonment of the said
Warder street. He therefore asks that
the Commissioners be enjoincd from filing
with the surveyor of the District the map
which they have received, according to
the act named, from the special commits
sion composed of the Secretary of War.
the Secretary of the Interior, and Chief OF
Engineers of the army.

Southeast Republicans Discuss Them
at q Meeting.
The Republicans of Southeast Washington
held q meeting last night at Brokers
Park. Fourteenth and d streets southeast,
to discuss the suffrage question and Incl
dentally to talk about delegates To the
National convention. Mr.. W. II. Brooker
called the meeting to order, but asked Mr..
". W. Smith to conduct the proceedings.
Among those who attended were T. L.
Bruce Evans. Louis Willis and Simon
Brooks.
All of the speakers, except Robert Keys,
steered clear of personal politics. He was
introduced as a candidate for delegate tn
the convention. He pitched intn Col. Perry
Carson for interfering and breaking up
several meetings lately and denying the
right of free speech to several eloquent men
who wished to address the meetings. He
told the crowd that Carson was now very
anxious for the right of suffrage for the
District, but he had been a delegate to the
Convention for twelve years and had not
made fight for it there nor before Con-
gress.
Mr. Simon Brooks made a short speech
in Which he favored Aaron Bradshaw as
ono of the delegates. Mr.. Thomas Jones
made an excellent speech on the general
subject OF suffrage, taxation and repre-
Sentation. He was diplomatic enough to
offend no candidate or local opinions.

FROM THE PEN OF SARDOU.

Robert Downing's New Play Put on
for the Press Last Night.
press rehearsal of Helena" sardou's
tragedy, which Robert Downing will pro-
dUce for the first time in English next
Monday night, was given at the Grand
Opera House last evening. 1t has been
furnished stage mounting that the author
himself could hardly criticize.
The action is placed in the troublesome
times of the Gu.!ph-Ghitbilene struggles
during the epoch of the Free Italian Cities.
The cathedral exterior and interior used
IN the first and third acts have been repro
Guced from photographs. Both of these
settings are works of art, as were the
others.
kr Downing has a strong study in the
charact cter of Orso, and it will stand easily
next to the Gladiator in his repertoire.
Miss Blair also fluids and makes good use
of her opportunities in the title role.
The action of the piece is swift and sus-
tained, ana the climax one which Sardou
alone knows how to construct. The
motive turns on the hatred of q wronged
woman and its sudden metamorphosis into
love. Such psychological process is
possible only to Sardou heroine.
The niofal of the plot is conspicuous by
Its absence. but then one does not look to
find moral in a sardou production.
Helena" should be a success from its
b.illiancy of construction and the able
Interpretation given it by Mr.. Downing
and his competent company. 1t is tn be
hoped, for the sake of star who is much
thought of in washington, that too much of
the French freedom of expression and sug-
gestion has not been retained in the trans
lation.
Not the least of the pleasurable rehearsals
last night was the special music for the
production composed by A. Tregina and per-
formed under the direction of the COM
poser.

Two Court House Officers May sue
the County Commissioner.
Two county officers, the ordinary and
clerk OF the superior court, may institute
proceedings in the superior court to com
pei the county commissioners to pay them
each the $50 allowed them under the act
Of 1873, creating board of county COM
missioners for Chatham county, for fuel
and stationery.
Recently the commissioners reduced the
amount to S75 on the ground that since
the erection of the new court house the
county was supplying their offices with
fuel and heat, and that all that was needed
was the stationery
THE commissioners have no discretion
in the matter" said one of them yesterday.
AS the $50 Is allowed us by law. The fuel
used in either of the Offices does not
amount to more than 81 or SO a year at
the outside. and II THAI were all that was
deducted, nothing would be said about IT,
But $50 a year viii by no means cover
our stationery bills. 1 keep blanks here
for the use Of the public, and they are es-
pecially valuable to people who have small
estates and who cannot employ counsel
without any extra charge, and l notice
that rich people as well, take advantage
Of them to save an attorneys fee of per-
haps 800 or more.
These county officers made a proposi-
ton to the commissioners agreeing that
the county should purchase and pay for
the blanks and stationery needed, but this
was rejected by the commissioners The
amount given SO. they say Is entirely in
suheient to pay for the stationery they
are required to use. In other counties no
specific sum is given these officers for this
purpose, out the county pays for all the
stationery they need during the year. One
OF the commissioners, II Is said, recently
used one of the blanks for temporary let
ters of administration through which he
saved what might have been a 800 at
torney's fee. Unless the county commits
