Object to n Mark ct.

John F. Waggaman and Charles E. Bane
have been made the defendants in a suit
filed by Nathaniel Tyler. jr., to restrain
them from carrying out an alleged purpose
to transform the Washington Riding Acad-
erly, at 22d and P streets northwest, into
a market house, or from permitting any
one to use the property for such purposes.
Mr.. Tyler claims that the establishma mt of
such business place would greatly injure
the property in the immediate neighbor-
hood, and that the majority of the resi-
dents are opposed to it.
Mr.. Tyler ass erts that the law requiring
the consent of at least one-half of the
property owners to open a market is still
operative, and has not b9en complied with
by the defendants, and that consent of
owners has not been given. Justice Nc
Comas issued a rule ordering the defend
ants to show cause why an injunction
should not be issued on October 4.

SWISS SCIENTISTS ARRANGING TO SEND AN AIR
SHIP ACROSS THE HIGHER ALPS.
Washington. July L (speciaD.-The latest advance
shetts from State Department report give US
some extremely interesting data from Consul-Gen-
eral Dubois at ST. Gall. He says that the Swiss
Weather Bureau and many Swiss scientists are In
terested In an attempt to send balloon across the
high Alps this summer for the purpose Of making
meteorological and typographical observations. II
the attempt proves a success. It will be the first
airship that has crossed the higher Alps. 1t
will be under the conduct Of Captain c. Spelterini
The principal parts Of the balloon have been con-
structed at Paris and at the date of writing In May

perfected rapidly. The dimensions as expressed In

At the time OF the Journey. or voyage. frequent
observations will be made at the Swiss meteoro-
logical stations, by which 1t Is hoped to obtain the
coexisting differences Of the direction and velocity
OF the wind In the various higher strata Of air.
Careful observations from the airship are to be
made as to humidity and temperature. as we'll as to
the color phenomena Of the atmosphere. strata OF

tain that It is impossible to so over the high Alps

cause the south winds not strong enough to
