CANNOT ERECT POLES.
A Decision Against the Capital and

S. T. Thomas. Attorney for the District,

trict Commissioners on the requests re-
Gently made by the Capital Railway Com
pany and the Anacostia and Potomac River
Railway Company for permission to erect
desired TO erect five poles in Johnson Street,
between Lincoln and Monroe Streets. Ana
costa, and TO string wires on them for
the support OF trolley wires from Monroe
Street TO the company's barn.
The Capital Railway Company sought
permission to erect eight poles and string
wires on them in johnson Street, Ana
costa, SO as to enable the company to
run its cars into the shed OF the Anaeosta
Company. at the corner of Lincoln and
Johnson Streets.
Attorney Thomas holds that sihe acts of
Congress relating to the Anacostia road
do not give the company authority 10 use
the overhead trolley system and for that
reason he maintains that the Commission
ers are without authority TO permit the
company.
In his opinion relative TO the request OF
the Capital Railway Company, Attorney
Thomas states that the Commissioners are
without authority TO allow the erection OF
the poles sought by that company because
Congress has not authorized the Capital
Railway officials TO occupy johnson Street
with its railroad. poles. or wires. The
Commissioners approved the opinion OF At

PETITION DISMISSED.
No Receiver for the Firm of White
a. Rcdufnr

Justice Cox yesterday dismissed the pc
tition of Helen d. Clark and her husband.
William D. Clark, filed Tuesday, asking for
the appointment of receiver for the as
sets OF the firm of White G Redding, and
also for an injunction to restrain the mem
bers of the firm from disposing of the
property of the firm.
From the statements contained in her
bill of complaint it is gathered that Mrs.
Clark is silent member of the firm OF
White & Redding. which, by the way, was
formerly conducted under the name of
Clark & Go. BY the terms of the partner
ship agreement entered into on October l.
1895, she states that James White was to
contribute over s25. 900 to the funds of the
company. and Albert Redding nearly sll,-
600. and that she was to contribute her
good will" which was agreed to be
worth $4,000. She now. however, complains
that her partners together have not con-
tributed more than $4,000.
Mrs. Clark also alleges that there is
$4,000 deposited in the Lincoln National
Bank, but that only her partners, White
and Redding, can check against it, and as
she alleges that White is about to leave
the jurisdiction permanently she asked that
receiver be appointed to take charge of
the business and assets of the firm.
