WELL KNOWN PRIEST SICK.
Father DeBruycker Afflicted With
 Embolism in the Brain.


 Wil1imantic, Dec 11.-Dr Weldon, the physician attending Rev Florimond DeBruycker, says that his patient is afflicted with embolism in the brain, or the obstruction of an artery by a clot of blood, which produced a paral- ysis of the left side of the body. The attack of paralysis occurred on the evening of December 2 The trouble is yielding to treatment and the pa tient is recovering the use of the par a1yzed side.
 There is hope that inflammation around the clot in the artery may be prevented, in which case Fother De- Bruycker is likely to recover, but con- sidering the age of the patient and the trouble with which he is afflicted, his many friends and parishioners feel ap- prehensive of the outcome.

ENGINEER DEPARTMENT.
Annual Report on Public Work
Done

The computing engineer OF the District,
Mr.. c. B. Hunt. has submitted his annual
report to the Commissioners in which he
details the work accomplished during the
past fiscal year by the surface division OF
the engineer department. He also trans
mits the reports of the superintendent OF
streets, superintendent of roads and the
engineer of bridges. Mr.. Hunt says:
The labor of the chain gang was employ.
ed very advantageously throughout the
year in grading various streets, avenues and
alleys, and in improving Rock Creek Park.
The appropriation for the hire of teams for
this work is unfortunately little less than
sufficient to maintain a proper force
throughout year. The grading cost about
1872 cents, including foreman's pay, per
cubic yard. and was therefore decidedly
economical, considering the average class
of material moved and length of haul. As
a business proposition, the appropriation for
grading streets, alleys and roads should be
increased from 5000 to $4,000, and I 80
recommend.
"A notable class of work during the year
was that done at the cost of the Washing.
ton Railway and Electric Company in re.
moving tracks belonging to that company,
but not now operated, and paving the road.
way space from which the tracks were re-
moved to conform with the adjacent road
way pavement. over four and half miles
of single track was so removed. A number
OF streets still contain these old abandoned
tracks whose early removal under similar
procedure will be the aim of this office.
The expenditures under this office for the
year from assessment and permit work
largely exceeded a quarter of a million dol
lars, divided among about five hundred sep.
arate items of work, about thirty of which
were alleys and the remainder sidewalks"

Certain Ticket Scalpers.

The arguments Of counsel. which were
not concluded yesterday will be resumed
Monday before Justice Efagner of the Su-
preme Court Of the District OF Co
lumbia in connection with the pro-
ceedings for injunction instituted by the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company, the Ches-e
apeake and Ohio Railway Company and
the Southern Railway Company against
Milton NJ. BeekJnan and thirty-two other
ticket brokers or ticket scalpers" 1t Is
alleged that the defendants, by dealing in
the G.. A. r. encampment special contract
low-rate railroad tickets are defrauding
the compliments in the transaction of their
business, and depriving them of the
legitimate receipts and profits the COM
panies would otherwise obtain from the
sale of regular tickets to points away from
this city. The court is asked to restrain
the brokers from dealing in the tickets and
from interfering with the companies in
any manner in the use of the tickets.
Attorney f. D. McKenney appears for
the Pennsylvania and Chesapeake and Ohio
companies, while the Southern company is
represented by Attorneys Hamilton and
Colbert. The interests of the defendants
are being looked after in court by Attorneys
Henry E. Davis and A. A. Birney.
