trouble with her husband. She brought ner
two children, a l7-year-old girl and the three
year Old boy with her.
Three weeks ago there came to board al
MIS-. Danyew's restaurant n man who gave
his name as G. j. Mahoney. He claimed to be
a barber, but 1t now turns out he was Il detec
tive IN the employ of Mr.. Danyew.
The detective made himself solid with the
little boy by giving him presents, and did not
neglect to keep track of Mrs. Danyews move
ments.
Mr.. Danyew arrived in town Wednesday
and that evening" after dark, drove aro ma tC
the restaurant. Mahoney was there. When
the carriage drove in sight he caught up the
boy and was soon inside the vehicle, which
whirled away. and nothing has been seen ol
heard OF the men and boy since.
Mrs. Danyew has gone to Middlebury, de
terInined To recover her child.
The above is in the main correct. Mr.
Danyew arrived home Saturday morning
with the child. Mrs. Danyew has no

WRIT OF PROHIBITION GRANTED.
georgetown and TenIeytown Railroad
Cannot Change Their Tracks

Judge Cole yesterday granted the re-
quest for writ Of prohibition recently
made against the District Commissioner
by the Metropolitan Railroad Company to
prevent them from granting a permit to
the Georgetown aud Tenleytown Rail-
way Company to relay the tracks ca
Tbirty-second street at the intersections
of P and o streets, respectively.
The result OF the courts order is that
the tracks will remain in the future at
these points as they have iu the past. and
the two roads will be In 40 manner "con-
necting," as it was alleged it was the pur-
pose of the officers of the suburban road to
make them. For an aggregate distance
of tbirty-seven feet the rails of the COM
pany run parallel and not more than six
inches apart on either side.
1t was the desire Of the suburban road
to make the tracks run coincident at
these tive spots, and at the time the Metro
politan Company changed that portion
OF It's line to the ne W underground system
1t was intended to have the GERS of the
two roads run on the same rails.
The Georgetown and Tenleytown Com
pany asked permission to put in curves at
the places named. The Metropolitan Off
icals heard of 1t, and when, 1T is said, the
Commissioners were about to grant the
r"rmit, they asked the court to prohibit
them. q
The court ruled favorably for the city
road and held that the Commissioners had
no jurisdiction in the case.

MUST PROVE HER CHARGES
Robert White Answer Allegations
Made by Mrs. Mary E. Curtis.
He Denies Having Used Fraudulent
Means in Connection with Real
Estate Transa ctiOns.

Robert E. L. White of the firm of
White & Snowden, real estate agents, has
flied an answer to the suit brought gainst
him March Z last, by Mary E. Curtis.
Andrew j. Curtis and Homer Burgess were
also made defendants and all were sued
as trustees.
The petition of Mrs. Curtis asked that
Mr.. White be perpetually enjoined from
acting as trustee or attempting 10 exc
cute the trusts placed in his hands on a
portion of land on Benniug road, described
as Fortune Enlarged. The property was
worth $50, 900 IL was stated. 1t was also
asked that the deed of trust be declared
void.
In his answer Mr.. White makes sweep
ing denial of many of the facts alleged
by Mrs. Curtis and calls upon her to ma lEa
proof of some OF her allegations. Mr.. White
admits the attempted formation OF a syn
dicate to take charge OF the land and sell
it. but he affirmed that it was at the
solicitation of Andrew ]. Curtis, one OF
the trustees, and the husband of the Pc
titioner.
Tie defendant denies having ever pre-
sented any paper to Mrs. Curtis TO sign
except through her husband. Mrs. Curtis
lawyer, S. S. Yoder was consulted when
business transactions were to be made
with the complainant, Mr.. White says.
Inc real eStdte agent efDpDdtlCdiy uenies
that there was any 'cunningiy devised and
fraudulent scheme on his part, as Mrs.
Curtis said. to tanglc the title to the real
estate mentioned. She knew of every step
of the transaction, he claims, and lie never
connived 10 wrong her as alleged.
In reply to the complaint that Mr.. White
influenced his cotrustee, Mr.. Burgess,
the former says he was not even acquainted
with Mr. Burgess and that tie latter was
personal friend OF Mrs Curtis He there
fore denies the allegation.
In answer to Mrs. Curtis assertion. as
contained in paragraph IA of her bill,
that the defendants gained their option
on her property by Misrepresentation and
undue influence. Mr.. White denies the
averment and demands strict proof of it.
He closes by asking the court to refuse to
grant the relief applied for by the pett-
toner.

Crows HINT a Fox,

Ira Stone, of Taylorville, Va.
recently witnessed most curious
combat. While crossing field he
saw a number Of crows fighting
furiously with something. AS he
neared the scene of the conflict he
saw that the object of attack was a
large gray fox. The fox would
rush open-mouthed upon his an
tagonists, but they would dodge
and peck viciously at his back
Once when the fox sought to
escape by running, the birds formed
solid wall before him.
Reynard Immediately changed
his tactics. He threw himself on
the ground and began to roll quick.
" over in the direction Of his foes
This ruse proved ineffective, for
the : crows simply widened the
circle that had been drawn around
him, and as he came tumbling
toward them attacked him with
redoubled energy. The fox would
in all probability have been van
quished had not sight of Mr.. Stone
put all the combatants to fight.
Evidently from the many tufts OF
fur found on the ground, the fox
suffered considerably.

the matter in short order and made
lunge at Sullivan. which, if it
had reached its mark, the coroner
would have had to have been called
in. Sullivan took side step and
let him go by. Then Sullivan
made one of his feints with his left,
drawing Sylvester's head to one
side, and like a fash swung his
right on the point of Sylvester's
jaw. Sylvester went down like a
log, but only dazed, not knocked
out. He refused to get up and try
it again, saying, II break re plank
--he break re stone wall" Even
offers of money would not induce
him to try again, and he is the first
pugilist on record that made no ex-
cuse for his defeat. He returned
to fishing again, but always brooded
over the loss of the $1,000 until he
became crazy on the subject Of
money and was sent to the insane
asylum at Salem, where he now is.
He has escaped three times through
his great strength, but each time
he was recaptured easily as he was
ALWAYS in search of that $1,000.

SPAIN WANTS WAR
Prefers Fight to Recognizing
a Commission.
ERUPTION IN BARCELONA
A Hundred Inches of Skin En-
grated on a Child.

Barcelona, March 28.-A re-
newed manifestations of the emo
tional spirits Of the citizens of this
town was made today, though no
hostile demonstration was at
tenn pied against the United States
consulate. AS is usual on Sunday
there vas a promenade of light
hearted holiday makers and con-
cert by the municipal band for the
enjoyment of the promenaders. A
remarkable scene occurred during
the afternoon which seemed to be
occasioned by spontaneous move
ment of the crowd.
Cries were raised for the playing
of the national march by the band,
and the regular program of the
concert had to be fixed to satisfy
the crowd. The crowd then pro-
ceeded in a body to the French
consulate, where deputation en-
tered to express sentiments of
friendship and esteem for France.
The people here are confident III
their belief that France is pledged
to assist Spain in a possible con-
flict with the United States. Five
thousand persons outside were
cheering for Spain, Weyler and
Cuba.
The American consulate and the
chief thoroughfares of the city were
guarded by gendarmes as pre-
cautionary measure, but there was
no attempt at violent disorder.
