The troublesome burglars have not yet

three houses on Missouri avenue were en-
tered, and last night two residences on
South Capitol street were visited. One of
the Missouri avenue houses was the one
in which Benjamin G. Hill recently shot
and killed his wife. An entrance was
effected by climbing through the rear base
ment window, which was left unlocked.
The house was ransacked but nothing was
stolen. At the adjoining house, which is
the home of Michael Many, the burglars
entered through the front basement win
dow. Their experience was similar to that
in the other house.
At the home of Mrs. Jane McDermott, 313

through the second-story rear window and
failing to find any cash they carried off q

BRIGHTwooD AVENUE PAVING.
Computing Engineer Says Roadway il
in Good Repair.

Mr. c. B. Hunt. the computing engineer,
has submitted a report to the Commission
ers on the request Of the Brightwood Ciu-
zerus' Association and others for the further
Improvement of Brightwood avenue Com
plant has been entered with the Commits
sioners that the avenue Is much out Of re-
pair. 1t Is further claimed that, consider
ing the Importance of Brightwood avenue,
1t has been neglected by the authorities.
Mr. Hunt says that, In addition to being
always we'll informed as to the condition of
the thoroughfare, he recently made a per-
sonal examination of 1t. He says he cannot
agree with the writer's that the roadway Is
out of repair He says that within the past
five years $4,000 has been expended in
making improvements to the avenue In
the last appropriation bill $2.4OO was APP
propriated for extending the granite block
pavement northward toward Whitney ave-
nue.. and this work will be undertaken as
soon as the ma teriaI arrives. Mr. Hunt de-
clares that neither the needs of the street
nor the relative equities as between 1t and
other thoroughfares indicate that any fur
ther expenditure or Improvement should be
made at the present time.

built in 1874 at Occoquan Creek, Va, by a
syndicate of farmers. headed by Col. Ed
ward Daniel of Gunston Va. The idea Of
the builders was to construct a light
draught boat. with which they could navi-
gate the small streams, and thus enable
the farmers to get their products to market
at reduced cost She was fitted out at
Alexandria.
A trial of the boat soon convinced the
farmers that she was failure for the pur-
poses for which she was built, and they
sold her to other parties, who turned the
steamer into an excursion craft. Later the
Mary Washington was purchased by Capt.
E. S. Randall. and was used as excur-
sion steamer between Washington and Oc-
coauan Falls. and afterward between this
city and River View.
She mad carrying capacity of 500 peo-
pie, and it Is stated on reliable authority
that she has carried more passengers than
any other boat ever employed on the Po-
tomac. Excursions were then in the height
of their popularity, and the owners of the
Mary Washington made a mint of money
while she was used for this purpose. The
entire saloon deck was one large pavilion
devoted to dancing, and on every trip the
boat was crowded to its full capacity
Becomes Club House.
When the Mary Washington was succeed
ed as an excursion steamer to River View
by the Samuel J. Pentz she was used for
colored excursion parties to Motley Hall
Glymont and other points. Robert Holtz-
man afterward bought the vessel and she
was transformed into a club house and an
chored at Analostan Island, near George
town. Her boiler and machinery were
taken out before Mr.. Hoffman became the
owner, and the machinery is now used in
boats on the river.
The old steamer was finally taken to A
point near Four-Mile Run and anchored
there For time she was used at this
pace as a club house, but after short
time was abandoned, and in the last few

OLD VESSEL BURNED

urday at Four-Mile Run-His-
tory of the Boat.

The passing of the noted old excursion
steamer Mary Washington, which in days
gone by has carried so many Washington
ians and others down the historic Potomac
on pleasure trips, occurred early Saturday
morning, near Four-Mile Run, where she
has been beached for the past five years.
Fire was the agent of destruction, and only
the charred timbers and the gray ashes re-
main reminders of the boat whose decks
have been the scenes of many pleasant
events within the history of the present
generation.

residents of Washington who have lived
here during the. last twenty-five years but

A BIG APPLE CROP.
Yield Unprecedentedly Great in Every
Section

Prom all indications the crop of apples
| this year will equal in quantity the remark
able growth of 1895, which was the largest
ever KNOWN" said H. G. Belknap, a New
York merchant, at the New Willard.
"As general thing light and heavy crops
alternate between the east and west. This
season, however, both sections appear to
have Jared well. and there are plenty Of
apples, good, bad and Indifferent
New York state had enormous yield.
but of varied quality. In western New
York, while the yield is very large. the
fruit is not so good all the way through as
is usually the case. In the Hudson river
valley the yield is excellent in both quality
and quantity.
'In some of the apple sections the fruit
has been badly damaged by a fungus
growth like scab, and will not be barreled
for shipment, but is being sent to the cider
mills instead. In view Of this fact, 1t Il
believed that there will be much more cider
making and evaporating than Is usually the
case Large quantities Of the poorer grades
orchards for lack Of anthracite coal, which
! Is used in the evaporating process. Tho
evaporated fruit output OF western New
York. much Of which Is exported, amounts
to between s5,OoO.oo and 100000 annu-
ally.
1.-THE apple crop In Illinois, California.
Oregon. Michigan and throughout the New
England states, with the exception OF Yer
mont, Is reported as being exceptionally
good.
Despite the generally large crop apples
are always shipped from one section OF the
country to the other. The Ben Davis,
which is one of the staples Of the west, n
being shipped to New York for export and
popular eating apples not grown in the west
are being shipped from the east. Newton
pippins are being shipped in large quanti-
ties from California for export to England,
where they bring $3.50 box. The export
trade in apples has been growing steadily
since 1880, when 1t first began to be of con-
sequence. Large shipments have been made
from New York, Boston, Portland, Me-;
Montreal and Halifax. chiefly to Liverpool,
London, Glasgow and Han1burg. Owing to
the cold and wet weather in England and
on the continent during the past season the
crops Of apples and other fruits were very
poor. and in consequence the shipments Of
apples from this country have grown very
largely. At one time almost any kind OF
apple was exported, but they are coming In
so rapidly now that only the choice ones
are being sent abroad. The best grades OF
apples are always IN demand at very good
figure"
