They Have Already Taken Possessfon
of the McCcney Property.
Seven of the Capuchin monks who ar
rived in New York two months ago from
Italy have taken possession of the Nc
Ceney estate, purchased by them in the
spring, and located at the head of Phila-
delphia street, in Brookland 1t was
thought that the monks would build he
fore taking possession of this large tract
or land. but such is not the case They
lave moved into the old mansion which
they intend to- improve in many ways. and
Will not begin the erection of a building
for a year In the meantime the grounds
viii be cleared Of underbrush and beauti-
fed so as to be ready for the reception of
the building when the order decides to
break ground.
The mansion, which though old, is firmly
aid substantially built is undergoing i'm
provements under the direction of the
monks themselves, while the rooms are
being fitted up in bedrooms and studies.
The estate includes forty-four acres and
with its natural beauties of hills and
wooded streams, will be found an ideal
spot for such college as the Capuchfn
monks desire.
The plans Of the monks are not vet de-
termined upon. but they will probably at
tend the Catholic University. The object
Of establishing at Brookland is to found
an American house for the order. Other
monks are expected shortly.

Delightful Places to Spend Autumn
Days.

Unlike most pleasure resorts, the season
never closes at Fortress Monroe and Vir-
ginia Beach. From the first day of Janu-
airy to the last day of December, these IA
nous places keep open house" The
'Hygeia'' has long been known as one of
the most popular hotels in this country,
Chamberln's new hotel is rightly classed
among the most magnificent hostelries of
the world, and the Princess Ann has
made Virginia Beach famous. A stay at
either Of these places will leave nothing to
be desired In the way of comfort, luxury
ard pleasure. The steamers of the Norfolk
and Washington Steamboat Company have
been the favorte means OF reaching these
resorts with those who go from this city.
They are so coy and comfortable-have SO
many modern conveniences, and serve such
excellent meals-that they have made the
sail down the Potomac and Chesapeake
lay the most pleasureable part of the en-
tire trip. Leaving 18th street wharf every
evening in the year at Z o'clock these
steamers give an opportunity to enjoy a
full nights sleep IN their tastefully fur
nished state rooms. Travellers can take
this route without disarranging their
plans very much. All railroads for the
south and north have a starting point at
Norfolk, and connections are made with
steamers for New York and Boston.

WILLIAMS TO BE EXAMINED.
Former POliceman's Physical Condf
ton n Subject of Inquiry.

Former POliceman's Physical Condi-
ton Subject of Inquiry.
Upon the motion of Mr.. r. Newton Don
aldson of counsel for ex-Policeman Dan
Williams. convicted Wednesday last of en-
bezzling fines collected by him in the Po-
lice Court, Judge Bradley today ordered
that DIR. Barnes be permitted to make a
physical examination of Williams at the
Jail, where he is confined awaiting SEN
tence.
1t is understood that counsel for Will
Jams wish to show that he is in such an
impaired physical condition as to make
further Imprisonment dangerous to his life.
Williams attorneys have not yet finally de-
cided whether they will or will not press
the motion for new trial, but it is believ-
ed that If District Attorney Davis will con-
sent to the imposition of fine of, say, $500
and a term of Imprisonment in jail of five
or six months, they will not insist upon
the motion.
1t is said that the grand jury have pre-
scented Williams for the embeZzic.ent of
STAG of fines which were imposed for viola
lions Of the humane laws. No such in
dictment has been reported to the court,
however. If it is returned it will probably
never be pressed, provided Williams coun-
sci withdraw the motion for a new trial.
