H., Percy and Margaret j. Crawford.
the children end widow of Henry L.
Crawford, praying that the affairs of the
copartnership alleged to have existed be-
tween him and the deceased be wound UP.
Mr.. F1lbert alleges that some time in 1850
or prior thereto he and Henry L. Gran
ford entered into a certain copartnership
as general contractors here, under the firm
name of H. L.. Crawford, in which they
were 10 snare equally in the profits and
losses. thereafter the firm, says Mr. Fill
bert, purchased lot l, square 1G3 part of
Joseph's Park, Montgomery county, Mary
iand, and tract called Bellemonte and GER
tain additions thereto. in Prince Georges
county, Maryland. These properties, Mr..
fllbert cle1ms, were paid for by the firm
although title thereto was taken in the
rame of Henry L. Crawford Out Of the
assets of the firm, asserts the complainant,
MI crawford made investments In certain
stocks to the amount of $9,973.33. in his
own name. but each partner contributing
one-half of the purchase money, SAYS MI.
Filbert. The total assets of the firm real
and personal. he states, are 81, ,523 50, and
he charges that Mr.. Crawford drew out
such sums as to only entitle him (Cranford)
to -, 467. 81 on the basis of above valuation
while Mr.. Fflbert claims the balance $42,-
0o6.0l, each part subject to one-half Of an
Indebtedness of $1,393.54.
Mr.. Filbert states that Henry L. Gran
ford died intestate August % 1896 as TO
the above described real estate which de-
scended to the keirs-at-law, but in equity
declares the complainant, impressed with
a trust in favor Of said copartnership and
IN favor of him as a member of the said
firm. He says that the said personal estate
passed to Joseph H. Crawford, as the ex-
ecutor of his father.
Mr.. Fflbert therefore asks for an account

Florence crittenton Mission.

Mrs. Kate Wallis Barrett, Mrs. La Fetra
and Miss Rector Of the board of managers
of the Florence Crittenton Hope and Help
Mission, 21S Sd street northwest, held a
conference yesterday afternoon at the mis-
sion. 1t was reported that warm under
clothing is greatly needed this severe
weather, and also flannel for baby cloth
ing. 1t was voted to ask the daily press to
publish an appeal for secondhand clothing
to be sent at once to cthe home, to be made
over for the little ones. The severe weather
has brought to the mission many pitiful
appeals. While the Florence Mission is
especially designed for rescue work, the
ladies say the general appeal for help from
the destitute of all classes cannot be
wholly ignored.

JOHN BROWNS DAUGHTER,
A Movement Here to Relieve Her
Pecunfnry Distress.


Pecuninry Distress.
Prof. George VIM. Cook of Howard Uni
versity has received letter from Mrs. An
ME Brown Adams, which brings the news
that the daughter Of John Brown Of Ossa-
Watomie is living in straitened circumstan-
ces, and at times this winter has been in
actual want. Mrs. Adams lives near Petro-
liza, Humboldt county, Cal, and a move
ment has been put on foot in this city look
ing to the raising of funds for her relief.
Mrs: Adams letter was as follows:
MY Lear Sir: Yours Of November 80
reached ne yesterday, having been DELAYED
by the severe storm. You ask me ~ tha
report that my house was burned. with
nearly all Its contents, on the 1st of July
iast; Is true: Yes. it is only too true. Your
kind offer of assistance will be most CRATE
fully received. Some colored people at ST.
Paul Mimi, sent me SIS short time ago.
which is a great help to me- as, owing to
tne past season being bad one here in this
county, our crops were nearly failure
leaving us without sufficient to live on, or
the means to procure seed to SOW the crops
for the coming season.
Il have place here that. have been
struggling to keep until my boys were old
enough to manage for me, that will make
me comfortable home for my old age. If
can manage to hold on to 1t. but between
the loss by fire, the bad season for crops
and my debts, l am in rather cramped
position.
MY husband is an old man, so badly
crippled with the rheumatism that he can
earn very little to help support our young
children, three of which are yet too young
to help themselves.
May John Browns God bless you all,
Sincerely yours,
"ANNIE BROWN ADAMS"

yer, Arthur Gray, Henry E. Baker, George
VIM. Cook, Chas. 8. Syphax and Kelley
Miller, well-known colored Washingtonians
have sent to The Star a letter of appeal,
which shows they have not been slow in
taking the matter up. Their address is as
follows:
by the above letter it will be seen that
the daughter Of the philanthropist and
martyr, the heroic and noble John Brown,
is in distress. That fact being known, the
duty comes to every man, woman and child
who can appreciate q colossal sacrifice for
human liberty. That duty is to prove ap-
probation by acts of generous help The
duty comes to us as a people with de-
mand so justly strong that 1t must not be
waived.
1T should be esteemed high privilege
to contribute to the relief of the daughter
of a man who died that liberty might be a
reality in this fair land. Words will not
avail. Action is the need of the hour.
prof. George w. Cook Of Howard Uni
versity has kindly consented to act as
treasurer for contributions for the relief
of the worthy daughter Of the grandest
character in American history.
I'VE. the undersigned. respectfully ask
the pastors of churches in which our people
worship to place forcibly this matter be-
fore their respective congregations and set
apart a day In the month Of February for a
collection to be taken for the benefit of
John Browns daughter"

THE OYSTER SUPPLY.
The Cold Snap of Interest I,
Dealers.

Oystermen whose boats are at the river
front with good supplies of bivalves on
hand were delighted at the appearance Of
the present cold snap. They were anxious
to see thick coating of zee on the river
and the fact that there was a thin coating
on some parts Of the river yesterday caused
them to think their hope would be realized
Those whose stock was small hurried away
with their boats in order to get down
among the oyster beds before the freeze
came. In such an event they will be able
to get on new cargo and return as soon
as the Ice Is out Of the river. In anticipa-
ton OF a freeze and better prices some of
the boatmen refused to open their boats
and sell at the prevailing prices. But even
should the river freeze from here to the
bay dealers do not expect to pay high
at the wharf is large enough, they say, to
supply all demands for at least three
weeks. Since the holidays the arrivals of
oysters have averaged about $500 bushels
day, and prices have been lower than
usual. The oysters have also been in bet
ter condition than they have for years, so
the oystermen say, but the cold water will
now have the effect of thinning" them, as
the oystermen say, and they will not be
so fat during the remainder of the winter
season.
The supply has been 50 large recently that
some of the captains refused to open their
monumental city oysters always find ready
sale, because of the number of canning
houses there and also because Of the large
number of them used on the ocean steam
ers. and which are bought in the Baltimore
market. But the shippers prefer to sell
their stock here because of the difference
In the size of the measure, the Baltimore
measure being about one-fourth larger than
the Washington standard. The supply of
oysters at the wharf this week has brought
from 40 cents to 81 a bushel. And the stock
comprises oysters taken from the waters
from Machodoc creek, near Colonial Beach,
to the RappahannCck river, and, one of
the men said today, they are fine as an
oysterman ever put a knife in. With such
cold and snowy weather as this the de-
mand for oysters increases At the restau-
rants the trade In oysters Is sometimes
doubled by downfall of snow, SO one Of
the keepers remarked today, so that the
handlers and shuckers about the wharf
were buster than usual yesterday and to-
day. From the lower river, as well as from
Annapolis and Baltimore, barrels of shuck-
ed oysters are being received, and in the
event of a freeze this stock will enable the
dealers to hold their shell supply for half
shell and steaming purposes. The freezing
of the river will stop some of the down.
river supply of shucked oysters, and with
this supply cut off the prices may increase.
But with the large supply Of the bivalves
now at the wharf the dealers think that
the prices cannot go up very much, and
there is no fear of an oyster famine.
Forty-three arrests were made by the

In the late campaign, has given a signal

The Colorado editor is quite excusable for
not knowing that the author of the poem
was in Bethlehem during Holy week of

ences as to the currency should not change
