ner. in Equity Court No. /. has signed a
decree appointing Francis Carroll Mating
ly receiver to take charge of fund said
to be in the hands, of certain garnishees
mentioned in the case.
The proceedings were inaugurated by the
filing of n bill in equity several days ago
by Mrs. Eliason, in connection with which
she asked the court to enjoin the defendants
from proceeding to execution against her
property by reason Of n Judgment obtained
by Renshaw Brothers against Susan G. Ella

Washington and Marlboro Company
Getting Ready to Build.

The board of directors of the Washington
and Marlboro Electric Railway Company
met at the office of A. +. Rande at 1
o'clock today and decided to ask for per-
nit for the construction of the Washington

from the terminus OF the proposed extern
sion of the Capital Traction Company. as
authorized by a recent act of Congress,
east to the District line, near Overlook Inn.
The charter of this company was granted
by the legislature of Maryland, with very
liberal franchises, and by an act of Con-
gress in 1895. 1t was given all the rights
granted all other street railroads in the
city. The right to build the line in the
District was renewed by recent amend
ment which passed both houses of Con-
