NO LOCAL BREWING TRUST.
One Big Washington Concern Re-
fuses to Enter the Combine.

fuses to Enter the Combine.
From present indications. 1t appears that
the brewers of Washington will not be
organized into a trust, as was confidently
predicted several weeks ago. This is caus-
ed by the refusal of one OF the largest
concerns in the city to join the combna-
ton.
is said the prime movers in the project
and having a controlling interest in one
of the Washington breweries. endeavored
to form a combine with the remaining
three. This plan was successful as far as
two of the companies was concerned, but
the owner of the remaining brewery re-
fused TO enter the combination. katz Bros.
recently secured control of all of the
breweries in Paterson, y. J. In addition
to this they own one of the largest beer
producing establishments in New York and
are said to control the output of several
other breweries. 1t is stated that il is the
object OF this firm to control the beer
trade in the East They are now making
strenuous efforts to purchase controlling
interests in several other concerns in the
East. 1t is reported that unless the Wash
ington brewery that is holding out against
the combine quickly comes to terms, the
price of beer will be cut. II is thought that
this will force the concern to join the
trust. If this plan does not succeed locally,
it is said that Katz Bros, by gaining con-
troll of the majority of the Eastern con-
Germs, will thus force the remaining firms
TO the wall and eventually compel their
surrender

HOME WRECKED BY FIRE.
Closed nnd It's Occupant
Absent for the Summer.

Absent for the Summer.
The contents of the home of Mrs Fred
erick C. Hunt. 1861 Street northwest,
were destroyed by fire this morning at
about o'clock. The blaze. it is thought,
was caused by the crossing of the electric
wires entering the kitchen. Before the
firemen could extinguish it almost every
thing infiammable in the house had been
consumed
Mrs. Hunt is out OF town, having left the
city for the summer, and the house was
closed up. At 4:43 this morning Policeman
Highe, of the Third precinct, discovered
smoke in the rear of the residence and
turned in an alarm from box No. 256. BY
the time the department arrived, however
the flames had gained great headway. and
as the house was locked and barred some
difficulty was experienced by the fremar
in gaining an entrance. Finally the front
door was broken in. The firemen found
themselves in a seething mass of flames
and smoke. The entire first floor of the
building was in a blaze and the upper
stories were filled with smoke.
While some of the men busted them
selves extinguishing the flames on the first
floor others tried to save the furniture on
the upper floors. The smoke was SO thick
experienced and several of the firemen
were almost suffocated. After two hours
of hard work the blaze was extingui5hed.
The origin of the fire is still matter
of conjecture with the police and the fire.
men. When the latter arrived on the
scene, the fire was so far advanced that it
would be impossible to determine its ex-
act cause and when the police discovered
il they were not able to effect an entrance
to the burning building. The smoke was
first discovered issuing from the rear OF
the house, however, and it is thought that
the blaze was caused, as said, by the
crossing of the electric wires which run
into the house at this mt. The damage
all told will amount to about $4,000. Ow-
ing to the absence of the family from the
city. it is impossible to find out whether
or not there was an insurance on the
house and the furniture, but it is thought
that the loss is fully covered.

Interesting Programme Arranged
for the AHssCal Excursi0n.

Sunday School. which takes place ct one
OF the river resorts tomorrow, will have
as one Of its features series Of athletic
contests. for which a number OF valuable
prizes have been offered by friends of the

that the track is not suited for speed, and
the races this year have been designed
more to amuse than to break records. the

In order to create greater interest and
prevent any contestant from carrying off
several prizes, the committee has decided
that the winner of first prize shall not
be awarded any further prizes.

POTOMAC FLATS CASES.
Matter Called to the Attention of Il
Di.trict supreme Court.

Matter N0IIeO 10 the AttentiOu Oh INC
District Supreme Court.
The Potomac Flats cases were again to-
day a subject for consideration in the Su
preme Court Of the Distrie.. The matter
was called to the attention Of Chief JUS
tice Bingham and Associate Justices Cox
ard Hagner, sitting in general term. by
Assistant District Attorney Hugh 7. Tag
CART, who moved the court for the pas
sage OF such an order or decree as may be
necessary to carry into effect the mandate
of the Supreme Court of the United States,
filed June Is last.
The Supreme Court of the United states
some time ago decided that the title to the
land on the entire water front OF the Fo-
tomac River within the District limits. Is
vested solely in the United States. The
opinion of the upper court, however, did
net regard the present occupants in the
light of trespassers, but held that they are
entitled to compensation for improve
ments and other expenses because they
had been in uninterrupted possession TO-
so long a period and have been required 10
pay taxes to the Government. II was for
the purpose of adjudcating the claims
for damages of the compiainants, the pr. s.
ent occupants and owners that the matter
was referred TO the Supreme Court OF the
District for consideration.

Die

when within your power to live on, in
health and happiness. 1t is the duty of
every man, woman and child to know,
that Radam's Microbe Killer destroys
every germ or microbe with which it
comes in contact when introduced into
the human system.
Microbes produce sickness. and, as
they multiply in the blood and organs
of the body, ptomaines appear also, and
death frequently follows.
Radam's Microbe Killer, wonderful
remedy that it is, though powerful in
destroying microbes of every disease
known, is perfectly harmless to human
ity. It has cured others-it will cure
you; and II you once try it, you will
adopt it for every illness.
Should you be interested, or if any
of your friends are sick, write for book
containing testimonials and advice,
