NEW ORLEANS HOPEFUL.

New Orleans, La, Nov. From now
on the number of yellow fever cases
will gradually decrease, is the opinion
of the Board of Health officials. The
anxiously awaited cold wave arrived
here last night and even colder weather
is wished for tomorrow. The local fore
cast officials have predicted that frost
will fall in the northern portion Of Louis
lana tonight. The cold snap has had
the effect of increasing the mortality
and also has caused the number Of new
cases to swell somewhat. 1t is general
ly believed, however, that tomorrow
will show a decided improvement in the
situation.

The trolley pole belonging to the George

The attorney for the District certifies in
an opinion to the Commissioners today the
right Of the Commissioners to order the
removal Of the pole. and the engineer de-
partment having already made complaint
Of it. tine pole will likely be removed with
in a few days.
Attorney Thomas. in his opinion on the
subject, says:
THE right of way granted by Congress
to the Georgetown and Tenleytown Rail-
read Company and the incidental right to
erect electric railway poles is subordinate
to the use of the highway for public travel.
The poles must, therefore, be so placed as
not to incommode the use of the highway
for the purpose for which IL was originally
designed-that is. travel by the public.
slight obstruction or limitation of travel is
of course necessary, wherever a pole is
placed In a highway, for a certain small
portion of the street is thereby excluded
from use by the public. This is not an OBJ
struction OF travel; but where a pole, as
I'm this case. Is so placed to substantially
interfere with the use of the highway for
travel by the public. it is a nuisance and
