Football on the Georgetown grdiron
yesterday afternoon between the teams
Of Gettysburg and Georgetown resulted In
defeat for the former by a score Of % to
5. Georgetown failed to hold their oppo-
nents down, more by their own errors
than by any effective work Of Getty sburg.
Gettysburg was easy for the heavier and

TRANSFER SUITS SETTLED.
Railroad companie. Reported to
Have Paid Judgements,

1t was stated yesterday that the City
and Suburban Railroad Company. the CO.
lumbia Railroad Company. and the Metro
politan Railroad Company had paid the
judgments issued against them by Justice
OF the Peace E. NJ. Hewlett. in suits
brought by patrons of the roads to recover
damages because of the refusal Of their
agents to issue them transfers. In all the
judgments amounted to s17.s1.
In the case of Robert II. Coward against
the City and Suburban Company, the
plaintiff claimed cents damages and the
costs amounted to s5.45. j. Alpheus john
son sued the Columbia Road to recover
cents and the costs increased the juds-
ment to $7.01. In the case against the
Metropolitan Railroad. L. II. Humphreys
asked for cent damages and in this case
the costs increased the judgment to s5.3o.
These cases have been under considera-
ton by Justice of the Peace Hewlett for
more than six weeks. About ten days ago
he announced his decision, which was ad-
verse to the railroad companies. AT the
request of the defendants the cases were
reopened in order that the railroad COM
panies might offer new and material evil
dence This, however. did not have the
effect of changing Justice Hewlett's rul-
ings and a few days ago he issued execu-
tons against the railroad companies.

been referred to the contractor VT.
Green adds that after these numerous
references he has heard nothing more
from his complaint, and he requests that
the Commissioners inform him whether
the expense of repairing the gate right
fully belongs to him.
In his letter to the Health Department
Mr.. Green states that upon going home on
a certain day he found the gate broken
down. and that 1t was reported to him
that the demolition of the gate had been
the work Of the driver Of the ash cart,
who had driven into the yard for ashes
and had broken the gate in going cut by
running the wheel of his heavy cart
against it.
Mr.. Green complains that the Acting
Superintendent of the Street Cleaning
Department gives no indication in his
letter whether the expense of repairing
the gate belongs to him. and does not an
swer the question whether he will be per-
mitted to have his ashes taken away in
future on his own account so as not to be
bothered with the contractors man.
The Commissioners have taken thu
matter under Amusement, and will, 1t is
understood, communicate to Mr.. Green
their decision within a few days.
