Eek INGT0N CITIZENS PROTEST.
Object to Closing of Third street by
Railroad Yards.

The District Commissioners yesterday
heard the committee on railroads of the
North Capitol and lexington Citizens As
sociation, which appeared before them to
prott against the closing of Third
Street by the construction of the yards in
connection with the proposed union depot
The matter was chiefly discussed by Mr.
A. r. Server. He stated tha the pro-
posed location of the roundhouse and
railroad shops would close the subdi-
vision of lexington on the east, the Met
ropolitan branch on the west. and it was
now proposed TO place the yards in the
block bounded by Third Street, New York
and Florida Avenues, and Fourth Street,
shutting them up on the south.
MeSsrs. William b. Henderson and !. ].
Linton also spoke with reference to the
questions involved. Others present were
Messrs. W. S. Chase, p. A. Auer. r. II.

nently Cured by thaEibcrInfn's
Cough Remedy.

Mr. II. P Burbage, a student at law. in
Greenyiile. S c., had been troubled for four or
five wears with a continuous cough which ne
saws, greatly alarmed me. causing me TO fear

Mr.. Burbage. having seen Chambcr.sin's Cough
Remedy advertised, concluded to try 1t. Now
read what he says Of it: Il soon felt a remark
able change, and after using two bottles of the
TWENTY-FIVE cent size, wss permanently cured.' A
persistent cough is one Of the first symptoms Of
consumption, and his fear OF that disease was
well founded. He exercised good judgment in
selecting a remedy, as this preparation is one

COURT MAKES
A COMPLAINT.
Saws Juvenile Law Has Been
Violated.
MAJOR SYLVESTER EXPLAINS.
Commissioners Approve Action q
Police Head in Case Cited by
Judge kimball.

Major Sylvester has forwarded to the
District Commissioners a letter from
Judge /. G. Kimball, of the Police Court
in which he complains against the send
ing of certain boys to the court in the
van with the older prisoners.
Judge Kimball complains that in the
case of one Henry Renus, a fourteen
year old boy sent to the court from the
First precinct, the law for the protection
of juvenile offenders WIS violated.
Judge Kimball states that there is obvi-
Gus carelessness at the station houses in
regard to this matter, and he suggests
that Major Sylvester issue orders that
mere care be taken in future.
Writes to Commissioners.
In forwarding the letter to the Com
missicrers, Major Sylvester states that
he had conference with Commissioner
Macfarland in regard to the matter, and
that they came to the conclusion that II
was best to segregate the boys VINO were
frequent offenders from those without
criminal records.
Major Sylvester states that the boy
in question was being sent to the court
on his third offence, charged with larceny,
and that the precinct officers had acted
in accordance with his directions. He
said that If his Interpretation of the
law was not in accord with the ideas
OF the Board of Commissioners he would
receive instructions as to the course to
be pursued in the future.
Instructs Major Sylvester.
Commissioner Ross, in laying the mat
ter before his associates, moved that the
Superintendent of Police be informed that
his construction of the law meets with the
approval of the Commissioners, and that
a letter be sent to Judge kimball stat
ing that the Commissioners are disposed
to regard the views of Major Sylvester as
the best line of procedure under the cir
cumStanceS.
