A DANGEROUS Practice .

The Light has on more than one
occasion called attention to the fact
that boys, both white and black, are
constantly loafing around the rail-
road yards In the city where they
put in their time swinging on freight
trains and riding them u of town.
This is not only "a dangerous prac-
tice, but is a violation OF a state
law, which subjects the guilty per
son to a heavy fine. This morning
a Central brakeman told us that
hardly a train passed through the
city without being boarded by a
crowd OF boys who would ride To
the top of the hlll and then jump
of. Sooner or later, unless this is
discontinued, there will be mourn
ing in some home and more damage
suits filed against the road. If the
officers will take the matter IN hand
they will have no trouble in seCur-
ing recruits for the county farm
or road gangs.

Spent man. is the classification they

that there is little hope of It's ever being
revived. This does not mean that the man
will die. He may live many years But he
will live the ship lives that. with no coal

SUIT TO QUIET TITLE.
Bill Filed by Executors of Julia Han
sons Estate

A bill in equity was filed in the Supreme
Court of the District of Columbia today by
Eugene Carusi and Charles F. Carusi as
executors and trustees under the will of
the late Julia Hanson against more than
twenty defendants and the unknown heirs
of Andrew Hanson, to quiet title to the
northern - feet front of lot 10 in square
293, in this city. the lot being improved by
two brick houses. Mrs. Hanson. an aged
colored woman. died in this city several
months ago. leaving a large estate. 1t Is
recited in the bill that the property regard
ing which 1t is sought to quiet title was
sold June 10 at public auction for $3.50,
the executors agreeing to give good rec
ord title. On search of the records it was
discovered that, although Mrs. Hanson had
been in undisturbed possession of the land
for more than thirty years. she did not
have the record title, her right to the prop
will made in 1S4S. when she and her hus-
band Andrew Hanson, made mutual wills
in favor of one another the real estate
however under the law then In force, not
passing from Andrew Hanson to his widow.
1t is sought to quiet the title by the pres
ent suit under the statute of the District
giving persons holding by adverse posses
sion for more than twenty years good titles
to the land held. The property was
once, it is stated, the subject of an eject
ment suit on the part of some persons
claiming to be Andrew Hanson's heirs, but
they lost the suit. The bill was filed by
Attorney Charles II. Merillat, representing
the executors.
