said deed contained a recital that she

vision that by said dedication no expense

and that all contracts for macadamizing,

The Attorney discusses at length the
communication and shows that many Of
its statements are not warranted by the
facts, and in concluding his opinion says:
Furthermore, in the matter of the i'm
provement of Connecticut Avenue extend
ed. it is quite apparent that Congress did
not intend that the abutting property
owners should escape payment for its reg
ulating, etc, because the act OF March 2,
1895, expressly directed the Commission
ers to report to Congress the method of
enforcing the assessments.

to reimburse her for the payment Of the

The Commissioners yesterday requested
permission of the Secretary of the Navy

the Navy Yard on the same car which
brings IL into the District. They also in
form the Secretary that all the labor nee
essary TO place the boiler in position will
be furnished by the contractor.
At the instance of tho Assistant AS
SCISSOR the Commissioners have voted 10
grant the request of George B. Stark

sioners asking that the west 51.G7 feet of

0ence hospital, De eAeulpleu from lhAa-
ton and the tax for 1900 Cancelled.
In reporting upon the matter H. H. OAR
nellie. the District Assessor. states that
the land in question is within the encloS-
ure of Providence Hospital. In view of
this fact and the presidents adopted rela
tive to property belonging to public hos
pitfalls, and owing to the further fact that
all the lots except this have heretofore
been exempted, he recommends that upon
payment of the first installment of the
tax for the year 1898 the property in ques-
ton be exempted as requested, to date
from January 10, 1898.
Alonzo o. Bliss, of the Bliss building.
has written to the Commissioners CON-
planning of the noise made by the new
garbage carts. He states that these
carts being built of sheet Iron they are
a perfect drum, and that as they pass
along over the pavements the noise they
make is simply deafening. He says the
carts pass early in the morning and
throughout the day and are a source of
great annoyance to the occupants of the
Driscol where he resides.
The complaint was referred to the
Superintendent of Street Cleaning and
through him to the Washington Fertilizer
Company the contractor for the removal
of garbage. The company states that they
will do all in their power to abate the
nuisance complained of.
In transmitting the report TO the Com
missioners the Superintendent of Street
Cleaning states that he has advised the
company to put fasteners or rubber on
the lids to prevent the rafting noise
complained Of.

ROBBED A GRAVEYARD
FOR CHRISTMAS TREES
VandaIs Select an ineongraous
Spot from Which TO Secure
Holiday Everereens.

Youngstown, Dec. 27.-Warrants will
probably be served within short tine
for number of east end men who
are alleged to be guilty Of desecrating
a graveyard to secure Christmas trees.
]. Craig Smith has reported to the
authorities that sixteen men procured
Christmas trees from the. beautiful
Powers cemetery near Haselton. This
burying ground is situated on one Of
the highest points in the county. 1t Is
surrounded. by stone wall and the
grounds were planted years ago with
beautiful pine trees.
Mr.. Smith struck by the beauty Of
the place has tried to keep the littlc
cemetery in good order and he was
very indignant when he learned yes
terday that unholy vandals had en-
tered the grounds and chopped down
a large number of pines to use as
Christmas trees. He at once notified
the local justices of the peace and
wanted constable sent out to protect
the church yard but the two city con-
stables were too busy to attend to tho
matter.
MIR. Smith declares that he will issue
warrants for the vandals,

CHRISTMAS TREE IN A JAIL.
(Salem News.) tl

Christmas in the Salem lookup was
spent appropriately by the ten guests
of the city, and In the celebration OF
the day was both a touch of pathos
and a vein of humor. Several arrests
were made during Tuesday night and
some time during the night small
Christmas tree was smuggled into the
Jail and very nicely decorated by the
prisoners.
The tree was set up in corner of the
corridor and bits of red. whitc, blue
and other bright colored paper were
tied upon It very artistically, Mcssrs
Mease and Boone experimenting the
work of decorating.
One of the prisoners had doll In his
possession when arrested, and this
was placed on the tree. The prisoners
were permitted to enjoy the tree all
day, and those remaining were much
disappointed when the prisoner who
owned the doll was released and took
1t with him.

O'CRADY AND BELMONT PROTEST
Act Against Each Other-croker-eel'
mont Quarrel Figures--Lat-
ter's Nomination.

New York, Dec. 27.-The friends OF
Joseph O'Grady, represented by Asa
Bird Gardiner, filed protests against
the nomination of Perry Belmont and
John E. Bennett In the Seventh Con-
gressional district. All are Demo-
Gratis. The main objections set forth
were of a technical nature and ques-
toned the legality of the nominating
conventions. An incident of the con-
test is personal quarrel between
Richard Croker and Perry Belmont,
and the latter has threatened to sue
the Tainmany leader for libel.
Last night Perry Belmont filed OBJ
jections with the board of elections
to the certificate o. nomination fled
by O'Grady. The objections are that
Belmont is the nominee of the regu-
lar convention and that O'Grady is not,
in that the convention which nomi-
mated O'Grady was not legally called.
Argument win be heard ON the OBJ
jections Saturday.
The Greater New York Democracy
In convention last night unanimously
nominated Perry Belmont as It's can
didate for the Seventh Congressional
district.
