Making Many Improvements.


Though the new management of the
Chesapeake Beach Railroad has already
spent several hundred thousand dol
lars in improving the conditions OF the
line, still larger plans are under consid-
GRAFTON, and it is said that in the not
far future the line may be changed from
steam power to electricity General
Manager Paul Y. Waters today said the
scheme was under consideration, but he
added that no definite action had been
taken
The company paid $4,000 for the ter
minal property at Fifteenth and H
Streets northeast, with this end in view.
The grading has been improved, new
cars and several locomotives have been
added to the rolling stock, and all of
the old stock has been repainted and
renovated. At the beach, the boardwalk
has been rebuilt, and the hotel much
changed for the better. 1t is apparent
that the property is now in the hands
of enterprising men.
We contemplate getting into the city, =
said General Manager Waters, at not
distant date. and we are working
toward that end. IN the meantime, we
have made arrangements with the com
panies here to take our passengers
through without delay. so there is no
waiting like there was last year.
The Columbia Street Railway Com
pany now takes our passengers at Fiji
teenth Street and New York Avenue, and
meets all trains at the line.
THE cars will run through to Dean
wood Park, where they will stand upon
a recently constructed siding. awaiting
the trains. We have also arranged that
the number of passengers on each train
shall be telegraphed into the city go
that the requisite number OF cars will
be on hand when the trains arrive. This
will put an end to the rush of the ande-
sirable people from the park, which
was complained of last year

NEW TRIAL ORDERED
IN COSTELLO CASE
Imprisonment for Debt the Rea
Question Involved.

The mandate reversing the judgment
in the case of the Bokel Gwynn Nc
kenney Company, against John F. Co.'S
tello, recently decided in the Court OF
Appeals, has been fled in the Supreme
Court of the District, and in accordance
Herewith a new trial has been ordered.
This case involves a very interesting
and novel question, the defendant Cos
tello having been taken by the marshal
under writ known as ga capias ad sat
isfaciendum that officer commit
tel Costello in order to satisfy a judg-
ment obtained by the plaintiff.
On May 2 1901. the Bokel Gwynn Nc
KINNEY Company sued Costello to re-
cover a debt of 500. While the case
was pending, Costello conveyed his one
fifth interest in certain real estate to
bis brother. This conveyance was re-
corded on May 8, 1901, and on May II,
1901, judgment was entered in favor of
The plaintiff.
The plaintiff claimed it could not then
enforce the collection of its judgment
properly conveyed away his property to
defeat the collection of the claim, and
Costello was arrested. He sued out the
writ of habeas corpus, and the matter
was heard by Chief Justice Bingham
The main point urged was that the new
ccde abolished the mode of proceed
irgs, by which method Costello had been
arrested. Chief Justice Bingham, how
ever. held that the saving clause of the
code reserved this case for final deter
mination under the old law.
The court thereupon dismissed the
habeas corpus proceeding. and directed
that Costello be remanded to the Gus
tody of the marshal Costello then ap-
pealed to the Court of Appeals from
the finding OF Justice Bingham. The
Court of Appeals sustained Justice
Binghams rulings, affirmed the judg-
ment, and remanded the case for trial by
jury
On June 20, 1902. the case came on
for trial before a jury, and the court
directed the jury TO find its verdict in
favor of the defendant. The marshal
was directed to discharge Costello from
custody. The plaintiff appealed from this
decision, and the Court of Appeals re-
versed the trial court The case was
remanded for a further trial, and it

For Vanity's Sake.
From the Buffalo Times;

From the Buffalo Times;
There's a sermon in the fall o
James p. Blair, of st Louis
An Unsuitable ambition to keel
his end up as n social leader ant
foremost citizen of this city lee
this man into wholesale embezzle
ment and forgery.
He was the son of the famous
General Frank p. Blair. He was
counsel general Of the world q
fair. His wife was president Of
the board of lady managers of the
worlds fair-a woman of culture
and leader in society and liter
airy clubs. Blair was himself 9
political "reformer," prosecutor
of "boodlers" and delivered lee,
lures on Business Morality"
In short James p. Blair was the
Chevalier Bayard of St. Louis
it's bright particular star of gen
Utility and probity.
And then one day the public
press accused him of confscating
the estate of an old blind woman
who trusted him absolutely and
Of utterlng forged notes and bogus
deeds Of trust to the amount OF
$lOO,O OOl And he made no denial.
The old story:
Blair was not satisfied TO be Il
successful lawyer and TO live mod
estly and within his income. He
must have u lordIv country estab-
llshment where he could lavishly
entertain the notables who came
to the city. That took vastly
more money than he could earn.
There was only one way to keep
going-theft.
And 50 he began his DR. Jekyll-
Mr.. Hyde existence. To the
world he was the champion of
municipa! and social reforms,
to himself II common felon.
The dual life could not last.
The sermon?
Social ambition ruins its thous-
ands. The overweening desire to
outshine ones neighbors breeds
all sorts of crime. Undue vanity
is at the bottom of it. Destruc-
ton travels in its wake.
And the eXhortation.
When you feel inclined to 60
beyond your income for vanlty's
sake think of James =. Blair.
