FOR OPENING SCHOOL STREET.
Report Submitted by Chief Dutton in
Favor of Bill

Mr.. B. H Warner recently wrote to the
District Commissioners requesting that the
bill providing for the opening of School
street be referred to the chief engineer of
the fire department for report He stated
the conditions of the street were such that
fire in the school there would give the
department much difficulty in handling its
apparatus. In accordance with this request
Chief Robert w. Dutton has submitted a
statement to the Commissioners, in which
he says:
THE proposed opening of School street
southwark to Kenesaw avenue would make
it possible for companies of this depart
ment in the event of a fire in the Johnson
public school, to reach the scene of the
fire more quickly. The nearest company
to the school is No. IL engine company,
18th between Kenesaw avenue and Kenyon
street, the next nearest being truck COM
pany F, Whitney avenue between 18th and
14th streets Each company would now,
in order to reach the school building, be
compelled to go by way of Park and School
streets, the truck company going west on
Whitney avenue and Park street to School
and then turning into that at Park, and
the engine company would be compelled to
go northward on 14th to Park and thence
by the same route as that taken by the
truck company.
Should School street be opened south
ward to Kenesaw avenue, not only would
these two companies be enabled to take
more direct route, and in case of engine
company No. IL a shorter one. but the
downtown companies would be even more
facilitated in reaching the fire in the event
Of one breaking out in the school build
ings.
Every second, especially of the first few,
counts in getting to a fire, and as one of
these school buildings is an old frame one
everything should be done to afford the fire
department companies the shortest and
most direct route to them"
Col. John Biddle, the Engineer Commits
sioner, has recommended that Mr.. Warner
be furnished with the substance of the
report of Mr. Dutton and informed that
the bill for the opening Of the street has
not been referred to the Commissioners for
report.

fused to concede to their demand for a
nine-hour working day, and eight hours on

Court Disnisses the Case.

Robert Murphy, young man who, 1t is
said, is employed as an usher at one of the
local theaters, was in the Police Court yes
terday on complain of Policeman c. S.
Vermillion. who charged him with eXpec-
torating on street car. The officer in
formed the court that young Murphy be-
came very disorderly when placed under
arrest Saturday night for the offense
charged. Murphy denied the allegation, and
said the conductor demonstrated with the
officer for making the arrest. Three wit
nesses corroborated the statement made by
the defendant.
At the conclusion OF the testimony for
the defense the officer told Judge Scott that
his evidence was correct, and that the court
had been misinformed by the other wit
nesses. His honor, however, took a diff
ferent view of the matter and dismissed
the case.

FOR AN ACCOUNTING.
An Ex-Policeman Defendant in a Suit
With Novel Features.

Proceedings in equity, asking an injunc-
ton, accounting and the issuance of the
writ of ne eXeat, have been instituted in
the Supreme Court of the District of Column
bia by Amy Carter against EnOch Louis
Lowe Edelin, and Benjamin f. McCauley.
The complainant says she became &C
quainted with Edelin, about ten years ago,
at which time he was a member of the
Metropolitan police force. In 1898 he sew
cred his connection with the force, so she
says, and has resided at her home since,
having no source of income except such
sums the complainant gave him for his
support and maintenance. She goes on 10
say that having implicit confidence in Eide
lin and believing him to be honest and
trustworthy, she turned over to him sundry
large sums of money for the purpose OF
having him deposit the same in the Traders
National Bank in his name, TO be held by
him as trustee for her. With the approval
of the complainant, so it is set forth, EIDE
lin purchased a horse, carriages and the
like and kept them at McCauley's stable.
He also purchased with her money, II Is
alleged, three other horses, a wagon and
harness, which he has removed TO River
View.
OF the money turned over to Edelin, by
the complainant there remained balance
of $3.50 the 18th instant, so II Is stated.
The complainant charges that Edelin, has
refused to pay over the money to her, but
has Withdrawn the sum of $500 from the
bank, with the declared intention of APP
propriating the same to his own use, in
gambling and reckless and riotous living.
The complainant asked that the writ OF
ne exeat issue, forbidding Edelin, from de-
parting from the jurisdiction of the court;
that a receiver be appointed to take pos
session of the property of the complainant
at McCauley's; that the defendant be en-
joined from disposing of the property, aud
that Edelin, be required to render an &C
counting.
Justice Bradley directed that the writ of
ne exeat issue, and fixed the matter for
hearing the oath instant.

EARLY IRISH LYRIC POETRY.
Lecture by DR.. Robinson for Benefit of
Students

! DR.. F. y. Robinson. assistant professor
| of Gaelic at Harvard University. who has
been conducting course of instruction at
the Catholic University for the benefit Of
| the students in the Gaelic department, de-
hvered, last evening, a public lecture on
| Early Irish Lyric Poetry" Invitations had
been extended to all those interested in Gae-
lie literature, and a large number Of prorni-
nent people Were present at Mcmahon Hall
The rector Right Rev. Bishop Conarv.
presided, and in introducing DIR. Robinson
he referred to the Gaelic literature move
ment. and acknowledged with gratitude the
Indebtedness OF the university and OF all
lovers of Gaelic to the Ancient order of
Hibernians for its princely gift by which
the chair Of Gaelic had been established at
the university. He thanked DIR. Robinson
for his great kindness in helping the work
of the Gaelic endowment at the universit p.
The lecturer dealt mainly with ly-r'c
poetry of the earliest period in Irish liz
erature. He spoke first of the few poems
that are found in the manuscripts of the
old Irish period, strictly speaking, that is. in
the manuscripts scattered over the conti-
nent or Europe which contain Irish CLOS
saries. and which were written from the
seventh TO the end of the tenth century.
The literary materials Of any sort ara
scanty. There is very little verse. indeed,
interest and charm. He gave TRANSACTIONS
of several fragments that have been dis
covered in several corners of these old
manuscripts. Most Of them were scrubbed
on the fly leaves or in margins OF docu-
mentS with which tfley have nothing TO do.
One of the most interesting Of these is an
old poem, apparently written by a law
scribe, at least as early as the ninth CEN
tury, which describes the way he lived
with pet cat. 1t is fun OF delicious humor
and pleasing fancy. The greater number
of the poems read are preserved in later
manuScripts-in manuscripts of the middle
Irish period-but their language shows them
to have been composed, without doubt,
many centuries earlier. They have come
hero sagas of the Irish. They are very
wide range OF interests. Some of them are
others have to do with war or travels, and
some of the most beautiful are lamenta-
tions over the dead.
In closing, DIR. Robinson called attention
in particular to a poem recently published
by Prof. Kuno Meyer, and by him
titled THE King and the Hermit" DR..
Meyer discovered this poem in a sixteenth
century manuscript, but gave reasons for
believing that 1t was written as early as thu
tenth century. 1t contains exquisite de
sCriptions of nature-birds and trees, out
door life-and is representative OF a large
class of anonymous Irish poems which have
been for the most part overlooked I'm the
past, and which are among the most beau
tful contributions of the ancient Irish 10
literature
