Cemetery Desecrnted.
Considerable complaint has been made
about the dissertation of the old Presby-
terrain cemetery. between 33d. Bath, Q and
streets The destruction of the last re-
naming brick vault, covering the body of
Mrs. Eastburn, has commenced, and It will
be only a question of short time when IL
will be entirely removed. Since Mr.. Kickum
has left the cemetery. he having charge of
the place, over one hundred vaults have
been demolished and the pieces carried
away The destruction is shocking to the
descendants of the good people who per-
haps spent their last dollar to put the
vaults in place. No attempt is made to
stop the dissertation. and the people guilty
of such acts. while free from molestation,
pursue their work very quietly.
Engine Out.
The fire engine turned out yesterday af-
ternoon In answer to a local alarm for a
blaze IN the NJ street market house. The
fire originated in the ice box of George f.
Hilleary, who happened to leave a lighted
candle in the box, which started the blaze.
Ihe fire was soon extinguished. but not
until damage to the extent of 800 had
been done.

Party Wall.
Mrs. Joseph NJ Keefe has filed a bill in
equity against William H. Rackey, Charles
G. Elmer and John Hazel to prevent them
from using a party wall without first pay
ing for one-half Of the cost of the same,
asking for an injunction until such settle
ment has been made. The property in que.-
ton is located on the west side of Potomac
street, between Prospect avenue and y
street, where the first two-named are erect
ing two dwellings, the last-named DEF. nd
ant being the builder. Behind the bill is an
interesting story. A good frame house was
on the site. which Mr.. Elmer desired 10
move alongside the brick dwelling of Mrs.
keefe, Offering a money consideration for
such a privilege, after securing the consent
Of the other interested parties. This Mrs.
Keefe refused to do, and the frame building
was demolished, and preparations made for ,
the erection of a brick dwelling, over which
the matter has been taken into court.
