Subsequently Withdrawn

Sam Moy, a Chinese laundryman, who
lives with his Chinese wife at 3l4 Pennsyl-
vania avenue, caused the arrest of Philip
Moy, his cousin, yesterday, on a charge Of
assault. Mrs. Sam Moy, whose name was
given as Sing Gum Moy, appeared in the
clerks office of the Police Court, when the
warrant was issued. Her face was bruised
and she Charged that her husbands cousin
had inflicted the injury. When Sam ap-
peared to make the complaint he was very
much excited. Philip, he said, has d white
wife, and the trouble was the result of
disagreement between the women about the
common uSe of the kitchen.
Sam had long story to tell as to how
the women had words Because of tho
number of Chinese in the building, he said,
many of them have to get water from the
same place in the kitchen. His wife has an
aquarium with gold fish in it, and IN order
to keep the fish alive it is necessary for her
to give them fresh water at frequent in
tervals. 1t was while she was looking after
her fish that the trouble started, and Phil
ip, it is charged, appeared and struck her.
This morning the case would have been
tried in Judge Kimballs court had not
Sam appeared and withdrawn the charge.
Philip has apologized,'' he said, "and l
want to withdraw the case"
Prosecuting Attorney Mullowny granted
his request and nolle pressed the charge.

After spending the summer in Europe
they engaged passage for home on a French

minds and took passage on the English
steamer Mohegan, and were among the

Lizard Friday night, having thus been
saved from one disaster only to lose their
lives in another.

Appeal for Street Improvement

The District Commissioners were called
upon today by a delegation of owners of
property adjoining the Sligo Mills road
who presented a petition for the improve
ment OF that portion of the Sligo Mills road
lying in the District of Columbia. The ne
ttioners stated that by the united efforts of
the property owners and the county COM
mlssioners of Prince Georges county. n
great improvement has been made on tf a
portion of the road in the state of Mary
land from the District line to the old Sligo
mill. by grading. widening and graveling
so that that part of the thoroughfare is
now In good condition and can be main
talnsd at small annual expense.
1t is further stated that the Districts nor
tion of the road is in very bad condition
and almost imrassable in winter
1t is understood" they say, "and believed
that the District of Columbia mas nor for
the last ten years expended any money on
the said road, and yet the abuttiny prop
erty has paid taxes annually. The length
OF the road IS probably less than one-half
mile and small amount expended the reon
at the present time would give a good road
from the Blair road TO Glen Sligo and b.
a great accommodation to the propcrty
owners along the road and intersecting
roads as well as to the citizens of Takoma

HELD FOR GRAND JURY,
John DfgEs Uncovered I'm Samuel
SINNERS House Mt Might.

John Diggs, a young oclored man, who
was found in the kitchen of Samuel Skin
ner's house on the Bladensburg road about
4:30 o'clock yesterday morning, was given
a severe beating by the occupant before he
was finally handed over to the police. Mr.
Skinner was aroused by a young man in
the house and told that there were burglars
in the house.
Go back to bed" was Mr.. SINNERS ad-
vice, 'and don't bother me. The noise was
made by rats
Il heard two men down there" the young
man told him. and 1 heard one of them
say Come on"
Mr.. Skinner then went downstairs on an
investigating tour, with his mother-in-law
close behind him carrying a light. Two
other young men in the house came down,
armed with shotguns. ana then the trouble
commenced.
Diggs was not so fortunate as his COM
panion, who escaped. He ran up to the
second floor, being unable to get out at the
door, and when captured he showed fight.
The result was that Mr. Skinner pounded
his head so severely that a doctor had to
be summoned later on.
1t developed that one of the intruders in
his effort to escape had torn down part of
the house with an ironing board. Judge
kimball heard the case this afternoon and
held Diggs in ZOO security for the action

THE LEXINGTON ROAD.
Iron YOikes for the Underground Sys-
tenn Have Arrived.

beginning has been made in the work
which will result in squipping the City and
the Suburban street railroad formerly the
lexington, with a modern motive power.
Gangs of men are engaged in lowering the
water pipes along the line of the road.
and today the first installment of the iron
that will be used in putting in the under
ground electric system arrived in the city
This consisted of four carloads of iron
yokes. AS is well known to those who are
familiar with the style of construction in
making the roadbed for a street car line to
be operated by the underground electric
power, the tracks rest on iron supports
called yokes, which span the trench or
conduit through which the wire passes
from the power house along the entire
route furnishing the electric current to
the cars
The managers of this enterprise are
pleased with the promptnesS with which
this portion of the iron has been furnished,
only about two weeks ago the contract
was awarded. If the balance of the con-
tract is filled with equal promptness there
is no reason why the actual work of open
ing the streets should not be begun in
short time. 1t is not the intention of the
contractor. Mr.. SaXton, to begin tnlS part
of the work until a sufficient amount of
iron has been delivered in this city to
make it possible to push right ahead, and
close up the openings in the streets as
rapidly as the iron be put in place.
