ALL ABOUT AN ALLEY.
Attorney for District UnrnveIs a Per-
picking Tanglc.

pAcAAh&
The District Commissioners have received
an opinion from A. B. Duvall, the attorney
for the District, in regard to the status Of
the alley in square 327, between 11th and
18th, and D and z streets southwest The
question has been raised by Henry Krae-
mer as to whether the alley is public
or private one. Mr.. Kraemer is the owner
OF sublot % and part of sublot 80 In the
square. Mr.. Duvall says:
"on June 4, 1s4e A. H Laurence, trus-
tee, recorded subdivision Of lots 10 to %,
inclusive of said sauarsainto lots ID to %
B. The said alley AZ is ten feet In width
by 100 feet in depth, and lies Immediately
north of sublot so and between that loy
and sublots q, % and %.
1T appears that the south ten feet front
by depth of 100 feet Of sublot 80, has been
for upward of forty years used as an alley;
and 1t Is said that it has been paved by
the public, but of this there Is no record,
and the area of this alley has always been
taxed as private property:
The applicant by his deed appears to
own the easternmost q feet inches of
sublot 80, that is to say, the entire 'front.'
of % feet 3 inches. The adjoining twenty
four feet by the width of said lot SO was
owned by L. M. Boarnan, who also owned
sublot 22, and the remainder of the back
ground Of said sublot 80 is owned in sep
arate parts by two other persons
THE owners Of these sublots % and %,
and parts of said sublot 80. seem tc have
treated their said parts of sublot 80 as
combinations OF lot % and %, ignoring the
intermediate alley "A and unlawfully in
closing the same with their adjacent prop
erty.
From the data before me am Of the
opinion that the alley on sublot 80 IS not
a public alley. and that alley A indi-
Gated on the aforementioned subdivision,
is a public alley, and that the occupation
OF said alley "A has been and is an ille-
gal occupation of q public aIley"

A Pitiiul Story.

st. Louis, Nov. 22.-Robert E.
Gorge, a Tennessee farmer, only 81
years old, was robbed by death of his
wife this morning, and by strange
machination of law was within an
hour incarcerated in the hold-over at
the Four Courts. There is no charge
against him, but the St Louis police
locked him up pending the coroner's
inquest, although he has relatives III
this city. Relatives of his wife also
live here, which was her home until
she married the young farmer year
and half ago George was not per-
mitted to communicate with his rela
tives, although he begged the officers
to serd them word of his predicament.
George started Thursday morning
from Camden. Tenn, with his invalid
wife to bring her home, in the hope
that an illness of two years duration
might be cured. The absence from
home and her family aggravated her
illness, and gradually she wore her life
away. Her desire was to die among
her own people, but her husband hoped
for her recovery.
They arrived at the Union Station at
an early hour this morning Mrs.
George was barely more than living
skeleton and had to be carried on a
cot Their money was about exhaust
ed, so they went into the secOnd-class
waiting room TO remain until morn

Nashville, Nov. CIV. B. bod
bridge, vice president and general
manager of the Tennessee Central Rail
road, announced that he to-day began
the laying of rails from the end of the
completed line. about nine miles this
side of Lebanon, toward Nashville.
The work will progress at the rate of
about half mile of completed track
per day, and will be pushed as far as
the grading has been done, which is
about nine miles out from this city.
The delay in placing the track, which
was begun out of Lebanon some time
ago, was caused by very difficult and
expensive cut about nine miles from
Lebanon.
