A Word of Explanation.
Editor Of The Tribunc-

Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: In Saturdays Tribune it was stat.
ed that my dog jumped ON a child Of
Thomas Richards, of Putnam street. and
bit her severely, decorating her thigh. 1t
was further stated that | was attracted
by the girls screams ana dragged the
dog away, all of which are utter false
hoods. The child in company with 9TH
crs passed my store on her way to school.
Ihoy began TO tease the dog which was
lying under a beach in front of the
store. The dog made a snap at her, but
that he did her no harm was evidenced
10y the fact that she went To school that
same morning and was not carried home
as was reported.
II my dog had bitten the child so Sc. .
verely as was stated, Thomas Richards
would have had no need to request me
To shoot the dog or send an officer 10
do so, as | would have Immediately done
so myself because | consider one child's
life more valuable than all the dogs In
the United states. On Saturday moru-
ing | sent physician to examine the
child's injuries ana he told me, after
making an examination Of the child, who
was then out playing, that there were
no visible signs Of any injury.
Yours respectfully,
Thomas Johu.

Equitable Enforcement of Snow Law

10 the Editor OF The Evening Star:
Policemen insist that householders shall

dred people travel daily to reach the cable

path, little over foot wide, and this, L
believe, has been made by the tramp of
feet. With several hundred marines, prop
erly clothed by the government TO suffer
naught from the weather, and little to do
the question arises, Why do not the police
visit the center house and insist that the
commandant keep eight feet clear of snow
of the barracks over which he commands.
1t is noted fact that this place is never
cleared, and is a positive disgrace to this
section of the city. In meeting a gentle
man in this narrow barracks footpath il

ONE MILLION iINVOLVED
Proceedings in Contest of the Will of Co
lumbus Alexander.
Caveat Filed by IL Grandson of the
Observation-Disclosures of
the Easead

A caveat was filed today by Maurice B.
Alexander, through his attorneys, Messrs.
Jere NJ Wilson, TallmedgeiA. Lambert A.
s. Worthington and Wilton j. Lambert. to
the admission to probate and record of the
alleged last will and testament of the late
Columbus Alexander. The petition alleges
that the 2Jth day of February. 1885 pa
per writing bearing date of the 25th of
January of the same year and purporting
to be the last will and testament of Column
bus Alexander, deceased, was admitted by
the court to probate as will of personal
property and letters testamentary granted :;
that the caveator is a grandson and one of
the next of kin of the decendent and con-
tests the validity of the paper writing and
the sufficiency of the letters testamentary
upon the grounds that the deceased was
not at the time of the making and sub
scribing by him of the paper of sound and
dsposing mind capable of making a valid
deed or contract; that the paper writing
was obtained and its execution procured by
undue influence practiced against and upon
the decendent by Rebecca Alexander and
Walter o. Alexander or one of them or
some other person or persons unknown to
the petitioner; that the alleged will was not
the teStator'S free and voluntary act but
was procured from him by fraud and coer-
con exercised upon him by the parties
mentioned, or some other person or per-
sons unknown. on account of which the
petitioner prayS that the probate as to per-
Sonal property be set aside and refused as
to real estate: that the letters testamentary
heretofore granted be revoked and issues be
framed for trial before a jury to determine
the allegations of fact.
Wealthy Resident.
The late Columbus Alexander, over whose
estate the present controversy arises, was
an old, well-known and wealthy citizen of
the District of Columbia. He died about a
year ago at his mansion upon what was
known as Georgetown Heights. During the
board of public works Mr.. Alexander be-
came very prominent in his antagon!sm to
that hody. At the time of his death it is
said, Mr.. Alexander was about eighty-three
years of age and the understanding is he
died possessed of estate worth nearly
S1,n0.W0. The will referred to is a volum-
nous one, co 'ering more than fifteen tyne
written pages. and contains numerous be-
quests to both children and grandchildren

testator's wife. Rebecca Alexander and
many thereafter dependent upon certain
contingencies. BY the instrument Rebecca
Alexander is appointed an executrfx and
Waiter o. Alexander. a SON. and Thomas
w. Hay. b.other-in-law. are nominated to
act with her as executors.
Considering the valuable character of the
estate. the standing of counsel engaged.
and the fact that the will attempts to cut
off with 81 any child or children who con-
tests the same. make it probable that a

ON THE NAVAL BILL.
Point of Order Raised on the Academy
BUILDINGS.

During consideration of the naval appro-

against the provision in the bill whereby
the Fitchburg Railroad Company was
granted the privilege of constructing a
dock partly upon government ground at
the Boston navy yard, but the motion
to strike out failed.

against the paragraph for the appointment
OF a commission to report upon compre-
bensive plan for the Encouragement and
reconstruction of the buildings of the Naval
Academy and suspending the authorization
and appropriation of 100000 made last
year for the construction of certain build
