UNDER POOR CONVICT'S ACT.
Release of John Matthews From Jail
by Commissioner Mills.

| Release of John Matthews From Jail
| by Commissioner Mills.
John Matthews, colored, was this after
| noon released from Jail by United States
! Commissioner Mills under the poor con-
| victs act. This was the first release Or
| dered by Commissioner Mills under the re-
| cent decision of the Court of Appeals. The
| court held that it was within the power of
| a United States commissioner to release a
| prisoner undergoing sentence in Jail in de-
| fault of fine from the Criminal Court,
| but not in the case of one sentenced from
| the Police Court, and much interest was
| felt in the matter.
Matthews was convicted July -. 1893. in
| the United States Criminal Court of the
| District OF Columbia Of assault with intent
| to kill, and sentenced to Jail for a term of
| eleven months and twenty-nine days and
to pay fine of $40. or, in default, to serve
| thirty days additional. May II, 1894. after
| serving ten months, Matthews escaped
| from prison, and was at large until Sep
| tember 90 1897, when he was arraigned be-
| fore the Police Court. Judge Mills presid-
| ing, on a charge of profanity, and, being
| convicted, the sentence was a fine of s. or
| fifteen days in the workhouse. While the
| case was undergoing investigation Mat
| thews was identified as an escaped pris-
orer, and he was taken back to Jail to serve
| the uneXpired term, amounting TO one
| month and twenty-nine days. The 18th of
| November Matthews completed his first
| sentence, and the ODD of December he ap-
piled to Commissioner Mills, by letter for
his release under the poor convict's act.
| The commissioner set the case for hear
| ing today Meanwhile report was cir
| cuated in the office of the district attorney
| that John Matthews really Turk"
| Matthews, who had been sentenced to the
penitentiary at Trenton. but an investiga-
| ton developed that Turk is now serving
his time at the New Jersey prison.
At the hearing this afternoon the govern
| ment was represented by Deputy Prosecut-
| ing Attorney Given, who made no objec-
| ton to the mans release and this was
| granted by Commissioner Mills. The pris-
oner was. however, Immediately remanded
to the custody of the intendent Of the
sentence on the charge of profanity.

THE RAILWAY CASES.
Filing of Suits Against Ii. md d, md
lexington COmnaniea

".
lexington Companies.
Because of the great congestion of work
in the office of the United States attorney
for the District of Columbia at this time
and the careful examination that is neces-
sary before filing the cases, 1t will be i'm
possible to institute suits prior to next
week against the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road Company for Illegal occupancy of
land on Delaware avenue northeast and
against the lexington and Soldiers Home
Railway Company to compel the removal
Of the unused tracks on New York avenue
between 9th and It'll streets, also to re-
store the street to its former condition
The October term of the grand jury ex-
pires Monday next, and a natural display
OF energy is apparent in the district at
torney's Office in winding I'D the business
Tor the term, drawing indictments and the
like. These duties allow Assistant District
and Ohio and lexington cases have been
referred, no time for other pursuits.
Again, the Baltimore and Ohio case calls
for most careful and minute study and ex-
animation, and involves many questions OF
Importance, one of them being the author
ity for the existence of the so-called reser-
walton, bounded by the south line of II
street, the east line of Delaware avenue
the north line of G street northeast and
the west line. of LIST street northeast and
similar plats of ground.
The matters will be pushed as rapidly
as Is possible, and the forms of proceed
ing will be determined upon soon after the
LIST OF January, at which time suits in
court are to be instituted.

ing as the last will Of the deceased, which
paper purports to convey upon Stargardter
power to sell and convey the real estate in
question
The complainant goes on to say that she
denies the validity of the alleged will, and
has filed a caveat against it. 1t is added
that upon the death of Mrs. Loughran,
Mary c. Lennon took possession of the
real estate. and refuses to surrender pos
session to the complainant. Therefore, the
suit was instituted.
In connection with the same property,
Mary c. Lennon. who is named as de-
PENDANT in the foregoing suit. this after
noon filed a bill in equity against Frances
NJ. Rich and several others, asking that
the property be sold and the proceeds dis
tributed.

her will, directed the executor. Stargardter,
to sell the real estate and divide equally
the proceeds between Frances NJ. Rich, the
defendant and Mary c. Lennon the com
planaHt, but the executor, the complainant
says, refuses to make the SALE and for thai
reason the court is requested to direct such
action.
