LIBERTY MARKET CLAIMS.
Report Made by Auditor Payne Upon
Seventy.Three Cases.

The District Commissioners today re-
cefved the report of James G. Payne, audi
tor of the Supreme Court of the District Of
Columbia, in reference to claims made by
Edward Brooke and others for property
taken, injured or destroyed by reason Of the
destruction or removal of the Northern Lib
erty Market in this city, in September
1872 and all claims for payments made for
the purchase, rent or use of any stall or
privilege in said market house, and for
license for conducting any business therein
to the extent of the unexpired term Of sail
purchase, rent, use or license.
The report covers ffty-nine typewritten
pages, and the amount involved is $43,62J
Auditor Payne states that at the date of his
report, November 15 1897, evidence had
Dcen taken In over one hundred cases, OF
which seventy-three have been closed and
are the subject of his report.
1t was deemed adviSab BILE to keep sepa-
rately the record and proceedings in each
case. No records can be furnished either
by the District or the claimants throwing
any practical light upon the conditions ex-
listing in the market at the time of the de-
StructiOn and of many other important
relevant matters.
The original occupant of the stand, stall
or privilege represented in many of the
cases is dead Where the party died testate
the allowance Is made in accordance with
the provisions of the WILL where admin
istration has been had on the personal es-
tate and not closed, the allowance is made
to the representative.
In number of the petitions filed no claim
is asserted specifically for stock or fixtures.
sometimes one being omitted and some
times both. In the progress Of the hearings
objection was made by counsel for the Dis
tr;ct to testimony offered, tending to show
the loss and value of the omitted item, on
the ground that no claim had been for
mally made. Thereupon application was
made by counsel for the claimants for leave
to amend the petitions in these respects, as
the claimants might be advised. and this
application being resisted by counsel for
the District, Auditor Payne heard argyll
nts aud determined to receive the evil
dence. subject to the objection of counsel,
reserving the right to make allowances ac-
cording to the proof for the loss of these
articles where not specifically claimed in
the petitions, but where the conditions
seemed to furnish a reasonable excuse for
the omission. and with the further condi-
ton that no allowance for either fixtures or
stock, when not claimed in the petition,
would be made unless the proof furnished
was reasonable, definite and satisfactory.
In claims filed by representatives of the
original occupants of the stands or stalls,
Mr.. Payne considered that there might be
a reasonable excuse for emitting or
both Of these items from the prepared
statement of claim.
The remainder of the report, fifty-four
pages in ALL is made up of the history and
evidence submitted in each of the seventy
three cases above referred to.

Legion of Loyal Women.

The musicale given under the auspices of
the Legion of Loyal Women at the Church
of Our Father last night was interesting
from the fact that the program was made
up entirely of the work of single local
composer. All the music was the work of
Mr.. Harry Wheaton Howard who directed
the entertainment, and the liberal applause
of the audience. which included many
prominent local musicians, testified to ap-
probation of its excellence. In the first
part were miscellaneous selections, includ-
ing songs solos and concerted pieces from
unpublished operas, and a piano suite play
co by the composer, and each number was
applauded. In the piano suite Mr.. Howard
displayed originality in composition and
fine technical skill in execution, the Ro-
mama and the concluding Barcarolle re-
ceiving the most favor The soloists We're
Mrs. Kitty Thompson-Berry, Mrs. Suzanne
Odberg, Miss Lillian HALEY, Messrs. l.. f.
Randolph and Philip Gerry. The choruses
were sung by a male octet, composed of
Messrs. We!dman. Randolph, Jones, Roder-
lex, Devereaux, Atchison. Young and Spear
The second part of the program was the
last act of Mr.. Towards operetta, Jack
the Giant Killer" the soloists being Misses
Marie Howe, Clara Morane Edith StowelI,
Master Clarence Wright and Mr.. Philip
Gerry, and the chorus made up of about
eighty children from the public schools
the young people sang with spirit and eff
feet and the choruses were roundly ap-
plauded. The singing of the part of the
Giant by Mr.. Gerry displayed that gentle
mans fine bass voice and his intelligent
phritsing.
