The Commissioners have decided to
grant a hearing to F. T. f. Johnson and
other residents of Hartford Street, be-
tween Tenth and Twelfth Streets, Brook
land, at II o'clock next Monday, relative
to the present plan for grading and regu-
lating Hartford Street.
In replying to a request recently made
by Wexford Adds, of the Bureau of Edu-
cation, that the walls of the frame struc-
ture in the rear of No. 633 A Street south
east be examined and condemned. the
Commissioners informed the complainant
yesterday that although the general con-
dition of the house is such as to justify
the issue of a permit for its repair when
ever application is made, they have no
authority to compel such Improvement
when the condition of the building is not
dangerous.
The proposal of Hillerband Brightly to
furnish transit for the sum of S210 and
the proposal of F. E. Brands, Sons, &

OPPOSES THE PAYMENT.
Bernard Campbell Sues j. Z. Dexter
and Abigail Z. Quinn.


and Abigail l.. Quinn.
Bernard Campbell yesterday filed suit
in equity against James L. Dexter and
Abigail L. Quinn, to restrain them from
collecting the sum of $4,000 from the Re
public Of Haiti. which amount the COM
plainant alleges is justly due him, and
which he has never assigned to the de-
PENDANTS.
The suit is the outgrowth of an incident
connected with the revolution which took
place in Haiti about ten years ago. The
complainant Campbell was, through mis-
representations made by the agents of the
Haitian government, induced TO go to the
island under the pretext of working as
an engineer aboard one of the merchant
ships. Upon his arrival there, with many
other engineers from the States, an at
tempt was made to press him, with the
others, into the service of the govern
ment in the capacity of engineer Camp
bell refused TO work, and as the result
of his objecting he received several bay
onet wounds.
When he got back TO Washington he al
leges that the defendant, Dexter in
duced him to put in a claim against the
Republic Of Haiti for 100000 For his ser
vices in pushing the claim Dexter was
TO receive $l,000, which Campbell says
was paid in two notes for $500 each, which
he assigned TO him. While Dexter was
engineering the claim he took Campbell
TO live with him, and besides boarding
MIN also advanced him $i02 in cash.
The State Department settled Camp ell S
claim against the Haiiians for $4,000 and
is ready TO turn the money over TO the
proper authorities Campbell. however.

He-is willing, however, to allow Dexter
Slt2, the amount of cash advanced and
also $50 for board while at his house
Quinn is made a defendant because he
holds a check for $3.50, secured by the
notes assigned TO Dexter by Campbell.
Under these circumstances Campbell asks
that both Dexter and Quinn be restrained
from collecting or even attempting to col
lect the amount of their claims from the
United States Government.

Legal Termination of the Stevens

Titus Controversy.
Another chapter in the trouble between
r. c. Stevens and his former partner,
Howell Titus, was enacted in the Police
Court yesterday. The men were, until a
few weeks ago, in the bicycle business on
F Street northwest. Stevens claimed that
he employed Titus as a manager only and
Titus claimed that he was to receive one
half of the profits of the business In ad-
dition to a salary of IS a week.
Stevens had Titus arrested for receivins
money under false pretenses. Judge Kim
ball heard all the evidence in the case
and then said that he believed the matter
TO be beyond the jurisdiction of his court
He said that, according TO law, one part
ner had a perfect right to collect money
which was owing to the firm and sign the
firms name on the receipt Therefore he
did not see where a case of false pre-
lenses could be made, and the case was
dismissed
