GRANTED A PERMIT.
The Washington AbattOir Cempan,
Auth Orized to RehuiId

Authorized to Rebuild.
After having given the matter very care
full consideration, and after having been
advised by their attorney that the appli-
cant was entitled to 1t, the District Com
missioners today decided to grant the
Washington Abattoir Company a permi: to
rebuild its plant at Benning, which was
partially destroyed by fire several weeks
ago. The Commissioners were told by their
attorney that as the company, in applying
for the permit, had met the requirements
of the building regulations, it was. there
fore, entitled to receive. the desired per-
mission.
From petitions filed with the Commits
sioners since the fire at the company's
plant 1t would appear that the people of
Benning and its vicinity are divided upon
the question, about as many favorng the
rebuilding of the plant as have protested
against it. Those who opposed the grant
ing of the building permit contended that
the abattoir is a nuisance because of the
alleged offensive odors Mating from it.
while those who advocated the granting of
the permit explained that they have no
ground for complaining of it as being a
nuisance or offensive in any way.
Before deciding the matter, the papers
were referred among others to the health
officer. DR.. VIM. c. Woodward, who in
formed the Commissioners that the issu-
ance of the permit will not, in his judg-
ment, interfere with such action, if any as
| the health department may hereafter take
against the abattcir upon sanitary grounds.
Those accepting the permit take it, added
DR.. Woodward, with knowledge that such
action is contemplated. The Commission
ers were also informed that that part of
the plant which the company desires to re-
build is not the abattOir proper, but the
cold storage department of it, and that
the cod storage department could hardly
amount to a nuisance because Of odors.

MOtOrman Fined 81.

james Conway, a motorman on the City
and Suburban electric railway, was re-
ported in the Police Court today for VIC
lating the law limiting the speed of cars.
1t was charged by Policemen O'Brien and
Rcut that his car was propelled along
lexington place at the rate Of about nine.
teen miles an hour.
The defendant was represented by At
torneys J. d. Sullivan and A. H. Selhausen.
Counsel contended that the tachometers
used on the bicycles of the officers could
not determine the speed. The officers said
their instruments were tested on the track
yesterday and found to be correct. Eek
ington place, counsel contended, Is private
property and not public thoroughfare.
The company, they argued. has the right to
run cars at any speed on this property.
Judge Scott held to the contrary. He
also decided that the instruments register
the speed accurately.
On behalf of the defendant 1t was claimed
that the car was not making the fast speed
complained of by the officers. 1t was shown
by one witness that the particular car is
geared to run at the rate of thirty miles an
hour the overhead trolley end of the
road, but that it cannot make this speed
with the underground current
Judge Scott held the defendant guilty,
and fine of 81 was imposed.

DEATH OF HENRY w. BREWER.
One of the Best-knOwn Surveyors in
the District.


Mr.. Henry W. Brewer died last evening
at the Georgetown University, Hospital.
where he was taken the previous day for
the purpose of having an operation per-
formed. About eight days ago Mr.. Brewer
was attacked with an affection of the
bowels. He called in a physician and the
usual remedies were employed without
satisfactory results. 1t was then deter
mined to send him to the Georgetown Uni
versity Hospital, and DR.. Stone was called
in for surgical treatment. The operation
was an extremely delicate one and disclos-
ed an immense cancer in the lower intes-
tines. In the hope of securing beneficial
results parts of the intestines were re-
moved, but owing to the age of the patient,
who was about siXty-eight years DID, and
his weak condition, he did not long sur
vive.
Mr.. Brewer was one of the best known
surveyors In the District, and was the
recognized authority on Georgetown lines.
He was frequently consulted by the Dis
trict authorities, and his opinions were
always accurate. During his life he col
lected much very valuable data relating 10
the District surveys and property in gen
eral, and it is said that the District at one
time found itself in position to offer him
10000 for his records. Mr.. Brewer, how
ever. valued them at s2JODO and held out
for that amount.
He was not only acquainted with land
marks, &c, but had posted himself upon
the intrcacies of many of Georgetown $
titles. To the lawyers he was an extremely
valuable counselor in matters of this kind
Mr.. Brewer was single up to six or seven
years ago, when he married Mrs. Hin~S.
Besides his wife several stepchildren sur
yiye him.
