ness, and Policeman G. v. Johnson, OF the
First precinct, who lost the articles re-
ferred to, also testified. 1t developed that

chased them at second hand store in D
Street northwest.
When arraigned in court Payne frankly
admitted finding the pistol and billy in
the toilet room at the Police Court, and
claimed that he had endeayored to find the
owner He stated that he had no inten-
tion of stealing the articles, and, in sub
sanitation of that. related that he had

Yellow Fever Quarantine Plays
Havoc in the Fish Market.
The outbreak of yellow fever at the Sol
diers' Home, Hampton, Va, has caused
temporary panic in the local fish market
because clam famine has been produced.
The order of the health authorities which
closed the ports of Newport News and Old
Point Comfort has also shut off the clam
diggers and their grounds from their mar
kets, causing the stock in trade of the
fish dealers in those places TO dwindle to
almost nothing The markets now are re-
covering a little, and it is thought that
conditions will soon be what they were
several months ago
The yellow fever outbreak has not only
affected CLANS but also almost every
variety of sea food. Local merchants have
been accustomed to having their fish pur-
chased at various points along the coast
and shipped to Old Point Comfort, from
which place transportation was made to
this city by means of the river steamers.
After Newport News was quarantined an
endeayor was made TO bring about an ar
rangement for the shipment of sea food to
this city by rail, but ii is stated that ar
rangements could not be made with the
railroad companies for a satisfactory
freight tariff, hence the scarcity

THEY LACK AUTHORITY.
There May BE No Junction of Metro
politan and Belt Tracks.


Andrew B. Duvall, Attorney for the Dis
trict, yesterday handed an opinion to the
District Commissioners in the matter of
the application of the Metropolitan Rail-
road Company for a permit TO lay under
ground tracks and switches In Florida
Avenue, between Tenth and Eleventh
Streets, informing them that they are with
out authority to grant such permit. The
company also presented to the Commits
sioners for approval the plans of a pro-
posed layout at the car barn at Eleventh
Street and Florida Avenue.
These contemplated the extension of the
Metropolitan Railroad tracks from their
present terminus in Florida Avenue near
Tenth Street northwest, in generally
western direction along Florida Avenue
to the car barn of the Belt Reilwas at
Florida Avenue and Tenth StEeets with
turn-outs from the south track only into
this barn; also the extension of the double
tracks OF the Belt Line Railroad from their
present terminus at Eleventh Street and
Florida Avenue in a generally eastern di-
rection along Florida Avenue until they
meet the Metropolitan tracks The appli-
cation for the permit TO make such con-
struction was based on the act of Congress
Of July ], 1864, which incorporated the Met
ropolitan Railroad.
Attorney Duyall holds that the authority
which was given the railroad company to
lay rails through transverse and other
streets is couched in restrictive terms, that
| 1t is based upon necessity" and is limited
/ TO the exclusive purpose OF connecting
the stables with the main tracks" THE
necessity for the proposed layout" saws
the opinion OF the Attorney 'is not as
plain as its desirability. 1t is quite ap-
| parent that its purpose is not exclusively
10 connect the stables with the main tracks.
but 10 complete double track connection
between the Metropolitan and Belt Line
systems with four single track lateral con-
necticns running from the proposed new
sidetrack into the Belt Line car barn. It
seems 10 me that Congressional legislation
is necessary in order TO complete the con-
nection between the two systems"
