CONCORD STREETS CONDITION.
DrOOkland Citizens Advised to Petit
ton for q SideMnlk.

The Brookland Citizens Association
some time ago called attention to the con-
dition Of Concord Street. between Eleventh
and Thirteenth Streets, Brookland. and
asked the Commissioners to improve the
thoroughfare. 1t was asserted in the COM
munication that the street had neither bean
graded nor graveled, and as the result OF
the laying of water pipes was in such bad
condition that traffic was almost impossi-
ble
Some time ago. stated the secretary
of the association, 1.-The horse of poor la
borer of this place was shot because of
serious injuries received in getting into a
pitfall within few feet of Twelfth Street,
the principal thoroughfare Of the village.
The city will probably be called upon 10
pay damages TO the loser OF the horse, and
much more serious claims may result if
the condition of the street is not i'm
proved"
C. B. Hurt District Computing En-
gineer, to whom the matter was
referred, has informed the Commits
sioners that there is no specific appro-
priation for the improvement Of Concord
Street and that the funds for repairs to
roads are not legally applicable for the
work. The circumstances related in the
complaint were found to be correct bat
the only action which the Commissioners
took was to advise the association that
practical relief might be obtained by the
presentation of a largely representative
petition for a curb and sidewalk in which
event it was probable the roadway i'm
provement would be justified.

"At 4 O'Clock p. m yesterday, Sur

cially stated that yellow fever was at

Adjutant General Corbin and Major
Johnson, assistant adjutant general,
were at Fort Munroe yesterday and
were present when Surgeon Pettus
made the report to Lieutenant Colonel
Dewitt. General Corbin says the con-
ditions are serious and there is no tell
ing how far the infection may have
reached. There is a trolley road along
the beach for six miles and excursion
parties have been coming to Old Point
and adjacent places and taking the
trolley to Newport News and to the
soldiers home. Many of them min

as we seem EO be unable to release the

If the money were paid over to the
Insurgents themselves Il strict policing
of the island would prevent its being
sent out for the purchase of war sup

NO CATTLE TRUST
Not Money Enough In fhe United
States TO Form One.

New York July 31.-The presence of
Mr.. George B. Loving of Fort Worth,
Texas, in New York started a rumOr
that he was endeavoring to organize
cattle trust. and the Wall street re-
porters soon got a number of inter
views, but could not find Mr.. Loving.
7. J. Conners. Il cattle buyer for
Armour & Co.. said that he knew of
no such deal. and thought that the
report was not true:
Swift & Co.'S manager at Barclay
street said: There is not enough
money in the whole United States to
form Il cattle trust: it's impossible If
a trust could have been organized in
this business it would have been il.
existence long ago
At the Manhattan market branch
iSwiTt's man declared that he had no
knowledge of the report. Texas
couldn't do anything alone, anyway"
said he. The supply is too widely
distributed. and $40,OO0OOO would not
be sufficient capital to make it formfd-
able, il aEy case
Cudahy's manager remarked: ''Oh
aihey might do it. but don't believe it.
It's probably a fake"
Mr. Loving today secuted the idea
that he was trying to organize trust.
Il have options on Il large number OF
cattle and great deal of land" he
said. IF these ranches are merged in
TO one management it will merely be a
large ca;tie concerts run OH good busi
