AN UNFAvoRABLE REPORT.

An adverse report was made by the Dis

Railway Company right Of way from
Eleventh and 7 Streets. east on T Street
10 Eighth Street, To Street, over the
tracks of the Capitol Traction and NJ tro-
poiitan companies 10 Bright wood Avenue
The objection OF the Commissioners TO the
measure is based Oh the ground thet III Y
do rot think the prescribed route the best
that could be provided. They think that
route from Eleventh Street through Flori-
d. Avenue and Grant Avenue to Seventh
Street VIII apparently answer all purposes
much better. Their report says:
The line upon Grant Avenue would permit
cars 10 run 10 Floridl Avenue "n one schedule
while If the 7 Street line were adopted a nor

liams and Vandershafter. of the Ninth pre-
cinct. for the murder OF 4 man named
White. also colored, at Seabrooke, and who
left the city Sunday afternoon in custody
of Sheriff Robey, of Prince George County;
escaped from that official about an hour
later and was Immediately recaptured
Robey and his prisoner proceeded from
this city to Hyattsville and there boarded
a Chesapeake Beach railroad train for
Marlboro. When the train reached Blad-
ensburg. Turner took advantage of a slight
laxity in the vigil of the sheriff and made
n dash for liberty. Robey Immediately
started in pursuit and, realizing that the
fugitive was fieeter of foot. drew his re-
volyer and fired, the bullet taking effect
in the fieshy part of Turner's leg The
wounded man fell to the ground and was
recaptured. He was then taken aboard the
train en- route for Marlboro and, arrived
there, was placed in jail.
II Is understood that an inquest was
held over the remains of White, or Smith.
as his name is also given. by Coroner Rufus

verdict Of the jury, it is said. was to the
effect that Thomas Turner was responsible
for the killing of the man.

FOR HIGHWAY IMPROVEMENT
The Extension of New Hampshirc
Avenue Approved.


Senate bill No. 1926. for the extension
of New Hampshire Avenue from Whitney
Avenue TO Brightwood Avenue, which was
recently referred to the District Commits
sioners for examination, was Yesterday IA
yorably reported by them 10 Senator Me
MILAN. The total value of the land that
would be taken is estimated at about
$4,000, with improvements estimated at
about $4,000, which would make 4 total
cost OF about sS7. ZOO.
The Commissioners believe that an addi-
tional $3,0cO would be required TO grade
the avenue.
The report Of the Commissioners favor
ing the Improvement reads in part as fol-
lows:
1t Is believed To hc sound public policy to
require tho extension OF the main streets and
avenues of the District. and this extension could
be made at the present time at comparatively
little ousf, there practically no i'm
proyemcnis IN the line Of the street In a few
years il iS probable that the cost ,.iII Ii. in
creased. as Ibis section is rapidly developing

proposed extension.
The Commissioners also recommend that.
as the bill now makes awards payable by
the District the measure he so amended
as 10 have these sums payable one half by
the United States and one-half by the Dis
trict.
The addition Of the following proviso
TO the bill is suggested by the Commits
sioners:

The matter was brought up last evening

cooperate with similar one of the ma
chinists, to arrange for the mass meeting.

Mr.. Wright says no one can appreciate
the horrors OF lost manhood except he has
suffered them. No one can help such suf-
ferers unless he knows a cure and has him
self been restored to full manhood. Mr..
Wright's case was an extreme case. He
suffered for many years. He saw his physi-
cal powers go from him as the result OF in
sidious disease until he was reduced TO
condition OF senility, and the best doctors
in the country gave him up TO die.
He asserts that his ten years suffering,
both mentally and physically. was turned
TO unbounded JOY in single night through
rare combination of medicines that liter
ally made him young again. II is the pre-
scription of this discovery chat his enthusi
asm leads him to offer free to any man,
young or old, who feels that his animation
or the fire of ambition has left him and
needs something that will not only brace
him up and enable him to be prepared for
any undertaking which may present itself,
but will restore the parts 10 their original
size and vigor. sr
There is no question but what in his in
dividual case the results were Just as de-
scribed. and 1t seems quite probable that
any man VINO believes himseiI to be weak
may profit by sending for this free pre-
scription. Many people wonder how he can
afford to send this prescription free. but it
costs him little TO do so, and he feels a
interest in giving weak men
an opportunity to cure themselves.
