spectinE the Matter.

The Sunday opening of grocery stores is
the subject of communication received
by the District Commissioners from A. III.
Gregory of 316 Pennsylvania avenue north
west. who states that the proprietors would
like to make an organized appeal for Sun
day closing. Mr.. Gregory is a grocer, and,
writing on the subject, says:
LAS the heated term of summer is near
ing, and it being so desirable to clerks, en-
ployes and to at least nine-tenths of the
proprietors, that grocery stores be not kept
open Sundays, / would respectfully inquire
If they are not now being opened on Sunday
only by sufferance under an old order to
permit them being opened for a few hours
in the morning to accommodate purchas-
ers of perishable articles over Saturday
night. If such is the case, cannot that old
order be enforced? II not, We proprietors
would like to make an organized appeal
for Sunday closing
Commissioner Ross has recommended that
the writer be informed that there is no
law In force whereby the closing OF SUCH
establishments may be compelled

RAILWAY DEAL COMPLETED.
Ohio Men to Connect Washington.
Baltimore and AnnapOlis.

According to the Baltimore Sun this
morning the Cleveland and Akron, Ohio,
syndicate, which recently announced its
intention to connect the cities of Washing
ton and Baltimore by an electric railway,
came into possession yesterday of the
charter of the Washington and Annapolis
Electric Railway Company.
Continuing. the Suns article is fol-
lows:
This company has the right to construct
a railroad from Washington TO Annapolis,
with branches, but its charter will be used
for the purpose of building the line in such
manner that direct route will be follow
ed from Washington to Baltimore and a
branch will be made to Annapolis
The deal for the charter was closed at
the office of Mr.. George r. Willis, in the
Maryland Telephone building. Mr.. Willis,
with Messrs. Robert E. Gerhardt and d.
NJ Ludington. constituted the incorpora-
tors of the company. They obtained the
charter from the Legislature several years
ago. but 1t was never used.
Messrs. James Christy. jr., Of Akron and
Frank y. Wilcox of Cleveland We're In Bal
timore yesterday and completed the tran
saction. 1t was announced that subscrip-
tion books would be opened yesterday at
room 200 in the Maryland Telephone build
ing for the stock of the railway company
and when this formality was disposed of
the syndicate entered into possession of
the rights and franchises conveyed by the
charter.
When the deal was concluded the new
stockholders of the company met and elect
ed directors follows: James ChriSty. jr
OF Akron. Ohio: Frank \. Wilcox. Otto
Miller and c. w. ColliSter of Cleveland
Ohio: William l.. MarburE. Carroll T. Bond
and Frank Gosnell of Baltimore. Suisse
quently the board met and elected Mr..
Christy as president. Mr.. Miller as treas
urer and Mr.. Wilcox as secretary. This
organization was stated by Messrs. Christy
and Wilcox to be only temporary. They
also said that it was the intention of the
company to begin the construction of its
lines as soon possible. They were not
ready to describe the route which would
be followed. but said surveyors are already
in the field. and one of three lines run will
be selected for building the road. The price
paid for the rights and franchises of the
Washington and Annapolis company they
decline to state.
Messrs Christy and Wilcox further said
that the company proposed to construct a
nrSt-claSS line and to operate large. double
truck ears. like those of the Ellicott City
line, but better equipped The cost of the
line would be about 81 .1G0 900 They de-
ciined to say where 1t would enter this
city. but 1t has been reported that entrance
might be obtained near WeStport. while it
has also been said that the line might enter
10y way of the route of the Ellicott CITY
cars. Mr.. thrlStY dccia red the new line
would be of standard gauge. Cars of stand
ard gauge could not use the tracks of the
Baltimore city railways, because the latter
are of an extra width.
