Sixteenth Street Extension.

The District Commissioners a few
days ago received letter. from Mr.
George w. Sensner, of 1886 Fifteenth
Street northwest, requesting that the
advertisement for proposals to purchase
his property in the line of the exten-
sion OF Sixteenth Street be, postponed
for about ten months in order to give
time for the completion of new home
now n process of erection.
In reply the Commissioners will say
that the advertisements for the pur-
chase of the property in, question had
been issued before the receipt of Mr.
Sensner's letter, and that the bids will
be opened on October 4. They will say
further that the authorities consider
it the best policy for the District to re-
move all the houses that have been
paid for in connection with street ex-
tensions as soon as practicable. so as
10 have the street clear for the pur-
poses of improvement Such is tho
policy adopted in several other cases,
and the Commissioners will say that IL
is not deemed right to make exceptions

heard before the Supreme Court OF the
United States in May last and decision
was rendered stating that the evidence
adduced at the trial before jury was
not sufficient to invalidate the Will, and
reversed all previous decisions IN con-
nection with the case.
The questions considered by Justice
Barnard are whether the proceedings
should be dismissed and ended OF
whether the sisters Of Mary beyer
should now, be allowed to retry tne
case before another jury and SO renew
the contest Another interesting ques-
tion discussed was what is the status
of the neahew and niece in the present
proceedings, they having abandoned the
contest when it reached the Court OIL
Appeals for the District. Attorney cay
ton E. Emig appeared as counsel Tor

BEYER Will CASE is
AGAIN IN THE COURTS
Question of New Trial Is
Under Consideration.
This Matter Will Be Determined by
Justice Barnard-Validity OF
Will Was Contested.

The Beyer will case. which has been
a matter of litigation in the District
courts and the Supreme Court of the
United States for the past two years,
is again subject of consideration IN
the Supreme Court of the District. Ar
gument on the questions involved were
heard by Justice Barnard, who took the
matter under advisement and will an
nounce his decision in few days
1t will be remembered that Mrs. Boyer
died on July 26. 1896, leaving two valu-
able pieces of property on Brightwood
Avenue. She left surviving her hus-
band, Louis Boyer. ST. 1t appears that
they had children, but had adopted into
their household nephew and niece,
who were regarded by the Beyers as
their adopted son and daughter.
After the death of Mrs. Boyer docu-
ment purporting to be her last will was
filed for probate in the Office of the Reg
lister of Wills for the District. BY the
terms of this will Mrs. Boyer bequeathed
all of her real estate to her nephew,
Louis Boyer, jr., and her niece. Mr..
Boyer, her husband, and her sisters,
Caroline LeFeyre and Elizabeth Maus.
filed a caveat. After this Louis Boyer,
sr.. placed on record deed in which
the greater part of the real estate left
by his wife was conveyed to him by his
nephew and piece Mr.. Boyer, ST., then
withdrew from the contest over his
wife's estate.
Contest Is Started.
The conveyance of the real estate to
Mr.. Boyer. sr.. however, did not hinder
Mrs. Beyer's sisters and heirs at law
from still suspecting the invalidity of
the will. Oh April Z. 1899. Caroline Le-
Fevre filed proceedings in probate to
have the will set aside. In this she was
strongly opposed by her former co-com-
plainant Louis Boyer. ST. Hearing upon
the issued raised was had before jury
in December 1899. and resulted in
verdict declaring the will of Mary Boyer
invalid on the ground that it was eX-
ecuted under the stress of undue influ-
ence.
The court refused to set aside the
verdict on a motion for new trial.
The matter was then taken to the equity
branch of the Supreme Court OF the
District, where the proceedings had be-
fore the jury were reviewed. Here again
the finding of the jury was sustained.
From this decision the caveators took
an appeal to the Court OF Appeals of
the District, where the. whole case was
reargued. That court, too, was unanl
nous In It's decision that the will CT
Mary Boyer was invalid, and the judg
ments of the lower courts were affirmed.
Verdict Finally Overruled
From this decision Louis Boyer. sr..
alone took an appeal. the nephew and
niece declining to carry the contest any
further. The appeal of the husband was

Corporation Counsel's
Decision in Alley Con-
demnation.
AUDITOR RAISED QUESTION
Desired Information Relating to Man
ner of Charging Against Accounts IN
Special Assessment Offlce-Quotation
From Law on the Subject.

Mr., A, 3. Duvall, the Corporation
Counsel, has submitted to the District
Commissioners an opinion upon The
question of bookkeeping raised by the
Auditor relative to the charging of the
award of damages against the accounts
of the special assessment Office. Mr.
Duvall gives it as his opinion that the
excess of the award Of damages should
be deducted from the bill rendered by
the special assessment-clerk.
The Auditor several days ago submit
ted the question to the Commissioners.
and requested an opinion upon the fol-
lowing proposition:
sIn the case of opening of an alley
where the assessment for benefits ex-
ceeds in amount the award for damages.
should the latter be deducted from the
bill rendered by the special assessment
off1ce, or should payment therefor be
made to the property owner upon a
duly audited voucher?'
Mr. Duyall reviews the law relating
to the opening of alleys, and submits
IQe IOllOGiuR SLdtemeul.
Deduct From Benefits.
Condemnation proceedings for open
ing alleys in the District are provided
for in sections 1908 and 1915 inclu-
sive, of the code of law for the DIG
trict of Columbia. The jury of cor
demnation is required to apportion the
each lot in the square may be bene-
fitted by the opening of the allsy, and
section 1912 contains the following rro-
viso: Provided. however. that Ia cases
provided for in section 1910. the sums
paid or agreed to be paid for the land
contained in any alley or part of alley
to be closed shall first be deducted from
the amount of benefits SO to be as
sessed'
This provision is the only reference
to the subject of offsetting damages
and benefits in the matter of the OPEN
irg of alleys. and it relates solely to
a case where an existing alley has been
closed, and the area of such alley has
been sold and annexed to the contiguous
lots. The condemnation of land for an
alley is an exercise of the power of emf
nent domain, and the public can only ac-
quire title to the land taken by COM
pensating the owners therefor.
Deals Only With Owners.
1.-The jury of condemnation deals only
with the owner of the fee of the land,
and awards sum representing the value
OF the fee title; such title, however, may
be subject to liens and membranes.
and unless these are satisfied by the
payment of the award the public would
not acquire title to the land, complete
title being acquired only by satisfaction
OF such liens and membranes. Furfn-
ermore. rule of statutory construction
would confine the above-Quoted provi-
sion of section 1912 to the cases men,
toned therein.
Il am therefore of the opinion that
an award for damages in the case OF the
opening of an alley IN condemnation
proceedings should be paid to the prop
erty owner, upon duly audited vouch-
er, and should not be deducted from the
bill rendered from the special assess
ment Office

ANNUAL REPORT FOR
FRBEDMAN'S HOSPITAL
Condition Better Than II
Has Been for Years.
Repairs Were Made Out of Usual Ap-
preparation, and There Is
No Deficit.

DR.. W. A. Warf1eld. surgeon in chief
of Freedman's Hospital. has submitted
his annual report of the conduct of the
institution to Hon. E. A. Hitchcock,
Secretary of the Interior. Many repairs
which were necessary to the buildings
and grounds have been made with the
usual appropriation. and without de-
icit, healthful condition that had not
been possible in the last four years.
The. hospital staff has been put to
much Inconvenience through the lack of
certain facilities, among which was a
pathological laboratory. This has been
furnished in a small but we'll appointed
room. supplied with modern appliances,
SO that proper methods of scientific in
vestigation and diagnosing may be made
with equal advantage to the medical and
surgical departments.
New furniture. floor and files have
been added to the clerks office. and a

During the year. which ended June 80.
1902, 2,40S patients were admitted TO the
hospital, which, with 127 who remained
over from the preceding year.. aggre-
gated 2,535 patients treated during the

For New Hospital Building.
The recommendation of the surgeon
n-chief for a new hospital building has
been renewed. At the last session of
Congress the Senate amended the Dis
trict appropriation bill so as to provide
$4,000 for plans and specifications for a
new building to be erected on the
grounds of the present hospital. the
cost not 10 exceed s150.00O. While this
amendment was stricken out of the bill.
in conference of the two houses, II is
pointed out that new hospital build
ing is absolutely necessary to the needs
of the institution.
The present buildings are so situated
that the erection of new house would
not in any way interfere with the pres
ent service. and 1t would not be neces-
sary TO provide a temporary place for
the care of patients. The appeal has
been made each successive year. but 1t
is expected that Congress may take it
up during the coming session
