OLD STREET NAMES WANTED.
Citizens File Objections to the
Changes Proposed.

The contemplated readjustment of the
nomenclature OF suburban streets. in or
DER to conform TO methodical general
plan, has drawn forth large number of
protests from citizens in the localities
affected. These residents are now en-
gagged in expressing their disapproval by
letters addressed to the District Commits
sioners Some of the nissives are said
to contain spicy allasions and suggestions
as to the changes contemplated under the
tentative plan worked out by the Surface
Division of the Engineer Department
Other communications merely express re-
greet that euphonious or cherished names
are to be replaced by others having no
special significance or interest to the
locality.
The residents on Dartmouth Street are
up in arms because it is proposed to
change the name of their thoroughfare
to Hooker street. One of the property
holders out, there was at the District
Building yesterday and told Commission er
Ross that if the name of the college Lad
to be supplanted by that of the general.
they would feel like taking up their
houses and moving them bodily to some
other location.
o. II. Green. of the Southern Railway,
has written to the Commissioners to saw
that his residence is on Roanoke Street
and he states that he is mortified to know
that IL is proposed to change its name to
Bryant Street. With reference to the
matter Mr.. Green says:
Il regret the necessity for making any
change in the name of our street. as /
consider II enc of the prettiest We have

betical idea, then why not substitute one
of the following names for that of Bry-
ant: Buchanan, Byrd, Beach. Bacon.

think these are enough.

used for a street in a city.

street, Roanoke, which is only about a
block long as / understand it, should be

Sept Bryant. and l do not think you will
find a single one that will favor that
name"
Leo Simmons is also one of the objec-
tors He does not like the idea of hav-
some other name. He also takes the
ground that the Commissioners have no
legal right to change the names of the
streets after they are recorded in the sub
divisions.
Commissioner Ross SAYS that 1t is the
intention of the Board to give the public
the largest opportunity to express its
views of the plan of naming the streets
before the proposed plan shall be adopt

COST OF DEFENDING A TITLE.
The Purchaser of n Property Sues "A
Guaranteeing Compnny,

Suit was filed yesterday by Chauncey
Marshall against the Washington Title
Insurance Company to recover $3.50 claim
ed TO have been expended by him in de-
Tending the title to a certain piece of
real estate. The plaintiff alleges that the
title company promised to reimburse him
for any expense sustained by him in de-
fence of the tile.
In July, 1892 Marshall says. he engaged
the defendant to examine the title to a
tract of land which he desired TO pur-
chase. The land was claimed by Archi-
paid Bliss and the title company, 1t Is
also said. reported that Bliss owned the
land In question. subject TO deed OF trust
for $4,000
1t was further agreed. 1t is explained.
that after the execution of a deed in fee
simple by Bliss to Marshall the title
company would furnish the plaintiff with
certificate of title TO the effect that ne
10 the land, subject to the deed of trust
for $4,000 mentioned
on September u. 1894. however, Mar
shall states he discovered through his
counsel that about one ard one-haIf
acres of the land in question was not
owned by Bliss under a good second title
in fee simple, but that IL was Vested in
other persons and that at the time last
mentioned proceedings were commenced
in equity against him for the recovery OF
the one and one-half acres of land. Mar

LOCAL ECHO OF A TRAGEDY.
Brothers May Meet After Thirteen
Years. Separation.

The killing of John Ryan and wounding
of Steven Noonan, laborers, by George
Ryley, railroad section boss, at camp
near Ridgeville, Md, Wednesday night,
may possibly have an echo in this city.
Ryley has made his escape. and the police
here are searching for him, as are the
authorities of Maryland Meanwhile
James Noonan, of 1872 Twenty-third Street
northwest, employed as furnace worker
at the Union Trust Building, First and K
Streets northeast. believes that Steven
Noonan, who was fearfully beaten by
Ryley and left for dead, may be no
other than his brother, for many years
missing from home and friends In this
city. --- -7-
James Noonan visited Headquarters last
night and asked that steps be taken to
learn the identity of Steven Noonan, who
is now in a hospital at Frederick, Md.
Previous to this Major Sylvester had re-
ceived a despatch from Glenn II. North
ington, States Attorney for Frederick
County. Nd. giving description of Ryley
and asking his arrest. This despatch has
been sent to the various precincts, and
several detectives were also assigned to
watch for the fugitive.
According to the story of James Noonan,
his brother. now thirty-four years old,
left this city thirteen years ago and went
North He visited several cities and
finally settled In Boston, Mass, where he
was married about six years ago. From
time to time letters were received by his
parents and family here, but three years
ago all trace of the missing brother was
lost. No answer was elected by letters.
and since that time nothing has been
heard from Steven Noonan by his friends
here
While reading of the tragedy at Ridge
vile yesterday, James Noonan gays 1t oc-
CURED to him that The wounded man at
the Frederick hospital might be his
brother. Ali the more is he impressed
because his brother referred years ago in
several letters to "a man named Ryan,
whom he claimed as a friend. then living
in Boston. At that time Steven Noonan
was bricklayer and worked for time
on the union passenger depot at Boston.
Today an effort will be made to learn the
of the wounded laborer.

move is actually contemplated by the
Navy Department.
Admiral Schley spent last evening very
quietly. Immediately after dining. at .
o'clock, he took carriage at the Airing
ton and. accompanied by Mrs. Schley,
went for drive about the city and sub
urbs. They returned at 10 O'Clock, and
went immediately 10 their apartments.
Within few minutes the admiral re-
turned to the hotel desk to leave word
that he was not to be disturbed.
But few intimate friends of Admiral
Schley are now in Washington, and the
admiral and Mrs. Schley expect to spend
very quietly the few weeks intervening
before the Court, of Enquiry convenes,
the admiral devoting himself continuously
to the work of preparing evidence to be
presented.
No developments in the situation are
looked for today, as according to the
statement made at the close of the con-
ference yesterday, nothing further OF inn
portance will be done until Monday. 1t
is generally understood, however. that
Admiral Schley will confer informally
with his counsel, and that Judge Wilson
and Captain Parker will begin immediate
ly vigorous opening of the case.

TRIED TO COMMIT SUICIDE.
A Dependent Octogenarian Prevent
ed From Hanging Himself.

n. W. holland. formerly a foreman at
the lumber mill of E. E. Jackson, and
! more recently engaged in the coal and
wood business at the corner of Eighth and
ID Streets southwest, made his arrange
ments yesterday to hang himself in lit
tie grove in the rear of Otto Rupert s
road house, on the Bladensburg Road,
and was only prevented from doing SO
by the prompt arrival of several friends
to whom he had addressed letters an
nouncing his purpose.
holland is seventy-nine years DID, and
his story is a most pitiful one. He is a
sociable old gentleman. and is said to have
n host of friends in this city where he
has lived since 1881 For forty-six years
he and his wife lived happily together, but
something over a year ago she died, and
despite his usually jovial disposition he
has had extreme fits of dependency.
Shortly after his wifes Death his coal
yard caught fire and was destroyed, and
since then he has been unable to resume
business. About a month ago he went
out into the country and has been stop
ping at the Highland Club ever since.
Yesterday morning two of his most in
innate friends. James Fields, who is en-
pioyed in the Washington Woodworking
Company's establishment and william +.
Pouiton. who keeps a saloon on Seventh
Street southwest. received letters through
the mails from The old man announcing
that by the time the letters were read he
would be dead He described the spot
where his body would be found and d.
rected what disposition he wished made
of his effects. which were but few. Mr.
Poulton jumped on a car and hurried out
to the Highland Club where with his
brother and a friend he drove rapidly to
the Rupert place,
AS the party reached the place, the old
man was already on his way to the So
cluded spot, where he said he expected
to end all of his troubles. Its all right"
he said it will he all over in an hour
and by O'Clock ] will be in heaven"
holland had also written to an under
taker telling him to come for his body
at o'clock. AS his friends went up to
him and took from him the paper In which
he carried a new rope, in which he had
already tied a hangman's knot. the old
man broke down and cried like a child.
He had called at Rupperts place about 3
o clock in the morning and had been there
all of the day. Several times he had
started for the woods but seeing that he
was somewhat depressed Mr.. Rupert
called him back each time and cheered
him up and gave him something to drink
Never for a moment had he any idea as
to what the bundle contained or as to
the purpose of the old man. Mr. Poultoa
took charge of the old man and will care
for him until he has recovered from his
depression.
