CHANGES ON BRIGHTwOoD LINE.
Extension of Underground System on
Seventh Street Road.

Changes are being made in the Bright
wood line of the Washington Traction and
Electric Railroad Company which will re-
suit in the extension of the underground
system northward on the 18th street road
as far as Pomeroy street. At present the
underground system, on q single track
forms the extension Of the 9th street line
to the old car stables property, where
there is a loop. 1t is proposed now to lay
this system beneath double tracks along
the 18th street road from Florida avenue to
Pomeroy street. where the change from
the overhead system on the Brightwood
line will be made and the cars will con-
tnue to the center of the city as is now
the case with the Anacostia. Columbia
and Hyattsville lines of the company.
At Pomeroy street the cars on what will
be the 4th street line to the river front
will turn to make the southwark trip. 1t
is expected the 18th street road extension
will be completed in about two weeks, and
the officials of the company are looking for
the shipment Of some new cars which are
needed for the through service proposed
on the Brightwood line, the Tenleytown
and Rockville and the Great Falls lines.
Progress is being made in the great task
Of bringing the 18th street railroads,
operated by this company, into one system.
and it is expected that it will be in full
working order before great while.

SEATON TURNED LOOSE.
IDA WILSON SUBJECTED TO MORE
EMBARRASSMENT.
Questioned as to Her Past Life and
Matrimonial Ventures-No
Bearing on Case.

The hearing of Thomas Seaton's petit
ton Tor a writ of habeas corpus took
place in Judge Clancy's court last even
ing and resulted in the court granting
IN writ and discharging Seaton from
custody.
During the proceedings some rather
interesting testimony was brought out
and more might nave f1oated to the sur
face had the judge not taken the whole
matter into his own hands and sent Sea-
ton to mingle with the music of the out
side world.
Seaton had been sent to Jail by Justice
Nichols in default of a bond Of $3.50 to
keep the peace towards one Ida Wilson,,
whom 1t is alleged he had threatened to
kill for refusing to live with him.. He
employed Attorney c. M. Parr to defend
him. Failure to give the bond meant Jail
for one year unless he could escape on
habeas corpus proceedings. Mr.. Parr
went into the case to win and at the
hearing last evening attempted to lay
bare the character and past life of the
woman at whose i%nstigation Seaton had
been Jailed. The woman tool the wit
ness stand and Mr.. Parr asked her if
Wilson was her true NAME. She an
swered in the affirmative. He then
asked her if she had not been the plant
if in a suit for divorce against William
Orr, the complaint in which had been
filed in August of 1895 and in which case
a judgment had not been entered until
July 10, 1900. The witness answered yes,
adding that she had never used the name
of Orr.
Judge Clancy then asked the witness
who she was and what she was, but re-
ceived no answe
The county attorney solicited different
procedure in behalf of the He
said that no matter what she might have
been the law owed her protection against
the man who had threatened her life.
! Mr.. Parr was instructed to proceed
with the examination. He asked the
witness if she had not been married to a
man named Zulich between the time the
suit was filed and the judgment entered,
THAT has nothing to do with this
case replied the woman.
The county attorney again objected to
the line of questioning, but the court
said he desired to know the character OF
the witness n instructed her to an
swer. The question, was repeated, but
no answer was made, and after waiting
a reasonable length of time the judge
ordered the issuance of the writ and dis
charged the prisoner. -
The attorney wanted to show that Will
son and Zulich had been united in mar
riage before the judgment in the divorce
suit had been entered. The judgment
was not entered before July of his year
because the fee had not been paid until
that time.
