During the week following and from
then on until the beginning Of the CHRIST

tance and Of public interest will come up
for consideration. First Of these will be
the trial of Lola Ida Henry Bonine,
charged with the murder Of James sey-

The second case is the contest over the
estate of the late Senator Mcpherson, of
New Jersey. BY his will the Senator left
his estate to his wife, Edla J. Mcpherson,
who has since died. Her daughter Mrs.

MARKET SPACE
FAILED TO OPEN SAFE.
Burglars Attemrt 10 Rob the south
ern Printers supply Company.


An attempt at safe burglary was made
in 1he establishment Of the Southern
Printers Supply Company, 34 Tenth
Street northwest, yesterday morning. The
thief or thieves failed to get the blk
six-ton box open, and about $500 - cash
and a number Of bonds, checks. and
drafts were saved 20 the company.
The matter was reported to Police
Headquarters by William S. Kent, man
ager Of the concern. about 10 o'clock and
detective Samuel Browne was detailed by
Captain BoaT3man TO investigate II. The
detective gives 1t as his opinion that the
would-bc robbers were nOvices at the
fafe-breaking business, as their work was
very bungling. The upper hinge Of the
left door Of the safe had been knocked
of, and the combination knob of the right
door battered and bent with a sixteen
pound slCdge hammer, but neither piece
of work served to make the safe Yield,
and the burglars departed unrewardod.
Entrance TO the house WAS effected by
smashing a pane of glass in a door in
the rear Of the building, and pushing back
the bolt The sledge hammer was taken
from the machine supply department of
the establishment, as were some }chiseis.
q heavy iron bar. and several other i'm
plcments lying on the floor. which ap-
parently had not been used IN the attack
on the safe.
II is thought the burglars were In the
place between and o'clock yesterday
morning. "A negro woman who lives near
said her dog raised great deal Of nSse
between those hours. and il Is thought
this may have frightened them away. An
Office coat worn by Mr. Kent was found
wrapped up and used as a step TO mount
a box from which the thieves vaulted
over ten-foot fence into an alley back
of the supply concern in making their
escape.
In moving around the machine supply
rooms TO get tools to break the safe, the
soles of the shoes Of the burglar became
covered with OIL. ana his footprints were
traced through She yard and onto the
box. but they did not show in the alley.

AN INVESTIGATION IS IN ORDER.

Nomes principal business streets planked This statement is not made for the purpose of con veyng information, but because want to talk little about the cost. There good many people who hold the opinion that the cost too great, although the benefits derived manifest. num- Der of citizens have refused to pay their street mel.ts for the expressed reason that the cost of planking excessive and that it could and should have been done at n much smaller cost In the meantime lumber dealers who furnished the neces. sary material to pave the streets compelled to go without their money and the city has acquired" job lot of buildings, which were "sold" in default of payment of street improvement taxes.
 It is stated on the streets that there "job" in connection with the planking of the thorough fares, and, in proof of the asse-on the statement is made tbat in portions of the planked districts the work cost fifty per cent than any regular contractor would have charged for the same work.
 As rule, we take but little stock in any street rumors, but in view of the well known dissatisfaction that exists, it to that t is the bounden duty of the council to institute inquiry into the alleged abuses. If there has been ''job" it should be made made known, if it be found that the work was done economically conditions would permit, then no one should be allowed to rest under even a remote imputaton of wrong doing. If,it be shown that the work was economically done there will re- main excuse for those persons now delinquent to iul her refuse to pay their assessments, for one should be allowed to shoulder his just share of the public ex penses upon his fellows
