will be recalled that to this application, OBJ
lection was raised by Hon. James Lowndes,
on behalf of Justice Horace Gray, owner OF
No. 1901 l street northwest, the abutting

Mr.. Lowndes contended that the Cnnmls-
sioners are not compelled 10 allow pro-
Jections to the fun extent OF the limit pre-
scribed by the regulations, bat that each
case shond he decided upon the special
circumsta noes involved, and with due
regard to the convenience and comfort
OF the public, and OF the inte rests Jr
owners Of contiguous private property. He
protested against the issue of permit in
the foregoing case, on he ground that the

GREELY LOSES A FINGER
The Arctic Explorer Compelled to
Submit to the Knife.
Frost OF the North aud Much Hand
shaking Caused the Trouble.
Done to Save the Arm.

Brig. Gen Adoiphus w. GreeIy was suf-
fering last night SO much from prostra-
ton from the effects of the surgical opera
tion perfouned on him yesterday, when u
exclusively in The Evening Times, that
he could not be seen by anyone excepting
his wife and physicians tits not feared,
however. that the operation win have
serious results, and il is believed that by
Tuesday OF Wednesday the general viii
be able To visit his office.
GEN Greely Is chief of the United States
Signal Service, but is better known to
the world through his Arctic explorations.
The amputation performed yesterday was
tia. OF the second finger of his right hanS.
and it had become necessary to remove
it to save the hand and, perhaps, the
arm The operation was performed by
Surgeon William r. Wood, U. s. a, and
was entirely successful.
The injury 10 the finger was the result
OF u bruise said to have been caused by
the great number OF people who shook
hands with him upon his return to this
country after his voyage 70 the Arctic
region While he was there both OF his
hands were frozen and it was long time
before they regained their normal conti-
ton They were very tender when he re
turned. and the second finger OF the right
hand became injured by the almost inces
SAINT hanlsbake. While the finger panied
him constantly Gen. Greedy did not think
il . serious matter until recently, when
he concluded it would be advisable to CON
suit Ii surgeon. The result OF the consul
tation was the operation performed at
the generals home, No. 1914 G street,
yesterday.

defence Ietreated as ordered The de-
fensiyc firing line was then ordered TO
hold It's fire and await orders This 1t
did, and the first point was lost by the de-
fense because the skirmish line obeyed
orders and held its fire, even when its
left flank WAS being turned
The enemy steadily advanced ON the
left of the defense and st;ll no orders
We're given to fire, TO rally. or to Go anv
thing, nor was any effort whatever made
TO bring any portion OF the r.seIve to the
assistance of the threatened flank One
company of the reserve, in fact, was
never brought into position during any
portion OF the two hours of actual
engagement, and the men after resting
IN the woods for that length OF tine
came forth at the recall without having
exploded a shell or even taken Iart IN the
formation.
The forces of the attacking party, ON the
contrary, were handled with rare judg-
Inent, and only once was fault made, a..d
that when the left of the defense was
turned for the second time, and three
companies swarrned into the woods TO fire
the necessary three volleys with one min
ute internal, in order To gain a second
advantage and point The fault consisted
In the extreme right company OF the at-
tacking party going too far and thus firing
on the enenry from the rear. which was
contrary to the understanding and rules
set forth before the fight That company
was then thrown out of the contest, but
the remaining two companies fired tue
necessary volleys and gained the point.
The battle OF Fort Washington was GER
tainly or some practical benefit to the
participants. although the rank and file
did not expend quite as much Government
ammunition as they had wished during the
engagement.

until 8 O'Clock Wednesday in Justice

When the case, came upfor trial
this morning. Lnmphear insisted on
Il jury trial, but he had no attorney
to defend him. 1'hest introduced
the evidence of several witnesses,
including Mr.. Berg, his clerk, Ernest
Warren, Sheriff Rider, and Arr.
Quimby. The evidence was very
conclusive. Mrs. Quimbv testified to
having given Lalnphear some writ

to write u letter. She identified the
paper on which the forged order.
was written as similar to the paper
given Lamphcnr. and a sheet from
the same tablet, which was given to-
the sheriff cOrrespOnded exactly In

story sounded very thin, and the

weight, for it was only out a few
minutes, when verdict OF guilty
was returned. Justice IT,. She Shaw Ws
sentenced him to the county jail for
sixty days. Considering the crim:-t.
that was committed Lamphear gets
off very light unless he is re-arrested

probable as there is but little doubt
in the minds of anyone familiar with
the case, but that he is the person
who wrote the forged order, and his

would be pretty certain il he was
brought to trial.

SUGAR BEET SEED.
Can be Obtained From the
State at l2H Cents Per
Pound.

The last session of the legislnt ture
appropriated money to buy sugar
beet seed from Germany, and the
seed will arrive in the srute Un Mon
day next. 1t can he bought from
the state treasurer at 121hs cents per
pound. Senator Keller, who has
been very active In the efforts to ell
cunrage the sugar beet Industry in
Minnesota. writes that theesta blish-
mcnt uf Il beet sugu: factory at
Minnea polls is assured. He urges
that the merchants in all cities in
Minnesota take an interest in the
matter and arrange for the purchase
OF some sugar beet seed. and the
planting OF it by TURNER'S.
There are possibilities in this
enterprise that can scarcely be ex-
aggera ted, and 1t would pay any
community to make some effort to
test the capabilities OF the soil ana
climate for sugar beet culture. Dr.
ferent farmers can be induced to try
the seeti. and then have tests made
Of the beets they raise. Al the
worst it is not Il loss. because the
crop can be proiitably used in stock
feeding. Tests will show the value
OF the product from our soil, and II
the results will warrant 1t, ship
ments cun he made to the Minne-
ADOlis factory.
A small investment by our busi-
ness men might result in great good
to our county, and the effort should
be nude.
