Last night at 10: 40 o'clock the spe-
cial session Of the Legislature passed
into history.
1t lasted just three days, beginning
at noon on Tuesday and ending last
night. 1t adjourned to meet again
on Tuesday. July 9th, at noon.
The attendance of members has
been phenomenal, when it is remem-
bercd that they came and remained
here at their wv eXpense-a fact that
shows the determination Of the peo-
pie of the State in the present fight
for White Supremacy, and the patriot
ism of the men elected by the people
to represent them in their General
Assembly.
The morning session of the House
yesterday was devoted almost entirely
to memorial services in honor OF the
three deceased members-Wall. 81
Richmond; Hart. of Edgecombe. and
TrOtman, OF GateS-and to making
+: arrangements for the funeral of Sen.

THE principal divisions of the bridge
are marked by massive masonry arches
and towers, decorated with emblematic
groups of statuary, etc. Upon each of the
bascule piers is erected a single arch,
transverse with the roadway. constituting
the most prominent decorative feature of
the bridge.
The total estimated cost of the struc-
ture is si.0S3.S55.
The question whether street cars
should be allowed upon the bridge being
an important one and admitting of con-
siderable difference in opinion, it was
deemed best that designs should be sub

THE scHEuTzEN PARK SITE.
An Amendment to the Bill Providing
for Its Acquisition.

Tho House Committee on the District OF
Columbia recently cent to the Commission
ers for their consideration House bill 1!54l,
ito annuI part OF the subdivision Of
Scheutzen Park" The object CT this bill as
stated by the parties instrumental In its
introduction Is to annul part OF the CUB
division in question in order to make tn ,
land available as a site for the propose
municipal hospital. said land being now
cut UP by streets into parcels too small for
the hospital grounds.
In considering the question. Captain
Beach. the Engineer Commissioner, has
recommended to his associates a mcdifea-
ton OF the bill, which he thinks would bet
ter serve the interests CT all concerned in
the matter.
Captain Beach says the location would be
a very good one for the purposes OF the
proposed municipal hospital. but lie thinks
that it is not certain 1t would be selected.
Furthermore, the Engineer Commissioner
thinks the same difficulty might be en-
countered in other desirable sites, ire
tracts being so cut up by proposed streets
as to be unfit for the purpose Inc COM
missioner also believes that the parties IN
terested in the bill would rot desire the
subdivision annulled if the land we're not
taken as grounds fer the hospital In lis
recommendation CAPTAIN Beach continues:
For the foregoing reasons the Cointh-s-
sioners are OF the opinion that the object
Of the bill. rs well rs the interests or the
public would be better served by max n5
the enactment general instead CT specific
In its terms and they respectfully suggest
the following in lieu of the wording OF the
bill:
THAT in acquiring site for the pro-
posed municipal hospital the Commiss on
ers of the District of Columbia be, and they
are hereby authorized to close streets CT
parts of streets which may be plated 10

acquired. provided that such closing OF
streets Is. in the opinion Of the Commits

of the tract In question and will not in
their opinion interfere with the con-
venience of the public"

SON SUES FOR A THIRD
OE A $4,000 ESTATE.

A case that promises to be one of
the most interesting that has ever
come up in the district court of this
county was suit begun today in
which the plaintiff is Albert Rath-
mann and the defendants Caroline
Rath mann, Waltimore Rathmann and
Robert Rathmsnn, says the Davenport
Democrat.
Caroline Rathmann is the mother of
Albert Rathmann. the plaintiff, and
the other parties to the suit are his
brothers. They are all residents of
LeClaire, and the sole heirs at law of
Caroline Rathmann if she should die.
Albert Rathmann states in his petition
| that on Aug. ?. 1899, he had on de-
posit in the Scott county Savings bank
money to the amount of So, 7Sf.99.
| Shortly before that date, he claims
that his mother and brother Robert
asked him to transfer the amount of
his deposit in the savings bank to her,
stating that much more would come
| back to him as her heir. she promis-
ing him that he should share equally
with his brothers in any distribution
of her estate. He did so.
Mr.. Rathmann says that ne relied
upon the representations of his
brother in the matter, and particu-
larly upon the promise of his mother.
He states that Ernst Rathmann, his
father, died Jan. 16, 1896, and by the
terms of his will he bequeathed to
each of his sons the sum of So, 900
and the rest of his estate was left to
n M wv nd
mother of the other parties to the
suit. Mr.. Rathmann says that his
father, mother and the three children
contributed TO the accumulation of the
estate, the father being engaged for
years in the butcher business in LIE
Claire.
Mr.. Rathmann states that his faith
er's will was probated in the district
court and the administration thereon
closed in April, 1897, and the specific
legacy of So, 900 each to the sons was
paid and the rest of the estate was
taken by the mother. Caroline Rath-
mann. He claims the amount of the
estate received by her was at least
$95. .00C, and that at least 800, 900 of
it was in personal property consisting
of notes secured by real estate mort
cages, and that this comprised sub
stantially all the property which Caro-
line Rathmann owned after her hus-
bands death.
Mr.. Rathmann saws that at the time
he transferred S3, 900 to his mother
she owned more than $50. 900 worth OF
promissory notes secured by real es-
tate mortgages. On Sept. 81, 1900,
he claims that she executed an instru-
ment whereby for the consideration of
81 and natural love and affection, she
transferred to his brothers Waltimore
and Robert Rathmann certain mort
cages, the actual value ef which,
without interest, was $95, ,150, 900.
The plaintiff claims one-third of his
mothers property and asks the court
to establish his rights accordingly.

WOMAN TRIES TO PASS
MANY FORGED NOTES.

Mrs. William Osborne. of Tampico,
has done a remarkable thing. She
went to Sterling with a lot of notes
varying in amount from s. to $500.
and aggregating $2.6S6.1O, which
notes she offered for sale, saying that
they were given in payment for stock,
grain and machinery at a farm auc-
ton. She offered them to Herbert
Tuttle, who was amazed to find that
they were not only all made out in
the same writing, but that the sigma
lures of the various signers were evi-
IDENTIFY all written By the same hand
that filed out the notes. He detained
her on some pretext, while he sent
out for I. Frank, whom he observed
down the street, and whose name ap-
peared on a noto for $316.10. When
Frank was shown the note be at once
disclaimed all knowledge of it. Mrs.
Osborne was arrested at once. and
taken to the county Jail in Morrison.
She has a babe months old. She
says that her husband died last June
and that she was appointed admins
