shank left their old homestead at noon to-
day, and entered another life in a new
building at 3143 p street, just west OF al
ley street. The final scenes of the eviction
were without excitement. greatly to the dis
appointment Of large crowd of curious
people who occupied the street in front of
1 the .fbldp home on Potomac avenue. The
I GOODS Which were taken out of the house
| all day yesterday were deposited on an adj
| joining lot, and would have remained there
had it not been for Lawyer Franklin
| Mackey, who was sent for by Mrs. Cruik-
shank. He secured an interview with the
sist q and talked the matter over with
them, The younger sister, Miss Kate, was
willing to co. but the older sister was loath
| to leave the place dear to her memory.
| Finally, upon his suggestion, he was depn-
| tized to secure a suitable house, and after
| search around town he rented the prem
| ises at 3143 p street, which is a two-story
and basement bay-window brick, the CEN
| ter one of row of three houses. Several
| goods on the let packed into them and cart
| ed to the new place. By shortly after u
o'clock all of the goods were removed.
| Mr.. James Hay, the owner of the house,
| readily granted the request of the sisters
to spend the night in their room in their
| old homestead, and to them it must have
| beer a dreary night. The furniture in all
| of the other rooms had been taken out, and
| both inside and out. This morning Deputy
Marshal Cook appeared at the place to Ton
| tinue the eviction. Lawyer Mackey was
present and talked to the women. They
started to eat their breakfast shortly be-
| fore IL o'clock, and at the conclusion of
this they packed their most valuable jew
| elry and took it with them, while several
large wagons that had been ordered con-
| veyed the balance of the furniture TO the
new place.
Since the eviction a number of prominent
| Georgetown people have interested them
| selves in behalf of the sisters. and a legal
fight is apt to be made. The sisters claim
that they did not receive a notice of the
| sale of the property, and if this be the case
the proceedings can be set aside and new
sale ordered, in which event it is most
likely the sisters will bid in the property.
1t is understood that while the estate of
their father was left to the children, all Of
his personal property, including a number
of stocks and bonds, were given to the
daughters, upon which they have been nv
ing for so many years.
