COMPLAINT AGAINST A SEWER.
ID. O'DOnOEhue Claims That His Busi-
ness Has Been Injured.

In letter Of complaint 10 the District
Commissioners. ID. ODonoghue, pharma
cist at First and Streets northwest
states that the construction of the sew
er in his neighborhood has injured his
business.
He complains that the piling Of debris
i'm front Of his store has been the means
of depriving him OF the trade of former
customers and of transient traffic from the
Baltimore and Ohio depot.
The complaint was referred to the Su
perintendent of Sewers. with the request
that he make an investigation and report
back 10 the Commissioners. That officer
reports that while portions Of the street in
front Of Mr. O'Dopoghue's was obstructed
for time. the Sidewalks adjacent TO
the premises referred TO were not OBJ
structed during the construction of the
sewer.
Upon receipt Of the report from the Su-
perintendent Of Sewers. d. ID. Gaillard as
sistant 10 the Engineer Commissioner
recommended that, inasmuch as the side
walks were not obstructed and as no COM
plant is made that damage was done to
his property. Mr.. O'DOnoghue be informed

could not be considered by the District

A STREET EXTENSION PLAN.
Conference Between a Committee and
the Comm missiOners.

A subcommittee of the Committee on
Streets and Avenues of the Washington
Board of Trade called on the District Com
missioners this morning to talk over the
general features of the street extension
plan.
II was stated by Commissioner Beach
that he had been approached by Reprasen-
tative Mercer in regard to the matter and
had been shown a bill which provided for
the abolishing of Florida Avenue as the
CITY boundary and the opening of the
streets beyond in conformity to the street
and avenue plan of the city.
Anticipating that the question might
come before them for consideration. Com
missioner Wight had referred it TO the
Attorney for the District to ascertain what
existing laws might be in conflict with the
scheme.
Commissioner Ross stated that the sub
ject was not formulated as yet, and that
no definite proposition was before them
for consideration. He further stated that
the extension of streets beyond Florida
Avenue in conformity with the city plans
was very complicated problem.
1t would not only involve the closing of
streets and the opening of new ones, he
thought. but would involve the rights of
electric lighting companies under the law
in changing conduits and telephone wires.
1t would besides call for revision OF the
laws governing police regulations, and the
water and gas services.
Commissioner Beach pointed out that
extensive changes would be required also
in appropriations, as they are now divided
between city and county.
The Commissioners thanked the commit
tee from the Board of Trade for their call,
and for the interest manifested in the
subject They stated also that they would
be pleased TO receive practical suggestions
from the Board OF Trade with reference
to the feasibility of the extension Of the
city in the way that is likely TO he pro-
posed.

NEW YORK. Feb. 2S.-The Stock Market
was only moderately active in the early
dealings but its tone in the main was one
of strength. The railway list continued
notably firm. with large dealings at ad-
vancing prices in Atchison issues and in
the stocks Of the Southern railroads. Among
the specialties there were marked inn
provements in Peoples Gas Western Tn
ion, Metropolitan Street Railway, and
American Tobacco
The conspicuous features of the market
however. moved in a direction contrary TO
that of the general list. These were nota-
bly, Sugar Refining and Third Avenue The
first-named broke sharply in the early
dealings, apparently on account of the gen
eral discussion of the demoralized condi-
tions and the belief that the dividend to be
declared next week will be at a reduced
rate. Third Avenue, on the other hand,
was comparatively firm. The stock how
ever, continued feverish. The London
market showed advances in American
stocks but the dealings here for foreign
account were on an unimpOrtant scale

There came a turn in the Stock Market
this morning which il was thought might

dition to this the news bureaus generally

situation which are no more obvious now
than they were yesterday, but which the
pools now desire TO have accentuated ap-
parently Third Avenue and Sugar, the
conspicuousy weak stocks Of yesterday and
the past few days, were supported when
they reached levels approximately as low
as those Of Yesterday. The railway secu-
rites. some OF them, were even buoyant,
and the general railway list more than
held its own. What the outcome OF the
situation Will be cannot be surmised with
any hope of certainty. The bull pools un-
doubtedly begin to buy stocks 10 advance
prices. II the friends OF higher prices are
able to start an advance the bears them
