psmansed for AuOther Examination

Mr. Robert w. French was brought
before Judge Barley in the Corporation
Court this morning on writ OF haOeas
corpus for the purpose of contesting the
validity of the action of commission a
few DAYS ago which pronounced him ~
capable of transacting his business al,
fairs Alr. L. H. Machen appeared
for Mr. French and Mr.. Douglass
Smart for the commission. A large
crowd assembled to hear the arguments.
Mr. Machen claimed that the proceed
inos in Mr.. French's case had been
irregular. inasmuch as he was not
present when the investigation was in
progress, nor had the subject of the
commission been properly notified.
Mr.. Stuart, however, contended that
Mr.. French was in an adjoining room
and was well aware OF the proceedings
which were in progress. Judge Barley
in summing up the case decided that the
proceedings were irregular and re-
manded Mr.. French to the custody OF
City Sergeant Cox in order that the
former commission could conduct an
other investigation in a formal and
regular manner.

Another Attempt at Incendiarism.

The alarm of fire about 9 O'Clock last
night was caused by the discovery
of a fire in the second floor Of an unoc-
cupied building in the alley which runs
east and west between St. Asaph and
Pitt streets, short distance north of
King street The fire apparatus soon
extinguished the flames and prevented
what might have proven disastrous fire
About two weeks ago fire occurred in
the same building. 1t is believed that
both blazes were of incendiary origin.
The attempts at incendiarism recently
are causing some apprehension. 1t Will
be remembered that a negro endeavored
to set fire to a stable west of the Friend
ship engine house on Saturday morning
last. These attempts to burn property
are of semi-weekly occurrence and sooner
or later the pyromaniacs will be iden-
fitted

Habitual Runaway.

For the fourth time within few
weeks the Washington police have been
asked to look out for and arrest as
fugitive from her parents Mary Louise
Brown. sixteen years old, of Accotlnk,
Fairfax county. Mary has a strong
proclivity TO run away from home. No
sooner is she located and returned to her
parents than she disappears again. The
Washington police department has about
concluded that it is useless to try to keep
the wandering maiden at home. Tie
Alexan lria police have also been asked
several times recently to locate the girl.

Buying Property in West End.

There is now said to be no doubt OF
the fact that the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company is purchasing considerable
property between the tracks Ofthe Wash
ington Southern Railway and West End.
Several tracts of land, tits said, have been
acquired by the company during the past
few days and efforts are being made to
purchase others. For long time
rumors have been circulated in this city
to the effect that the company desired
to purchase a considerable amount OF
West End property. Some think prep
arations for additional trackage is the
main motive; others, however, prefer to
believe repair shops will be constructed
on the newly-acguired property.

Arrival of the Mayfies.

The easterly wind of last night brought
the advance guard of this years brood OF
mavfies, and this morning they could be
seen in every direction. The English
sparrows were enjoying feast on the in
scots. Many will find their way to the
bosom of the river and its tributaries
where they will be snapped up by fish.
The origin of the mayfies has long been
a puzzle. They appear or harbingers OF
the close of the fishing season aud many
suppose they are bred from the fish otlal.
Others. however, are positive they are
bred on the surface of the river, and the
latter theory is more generally accepted.
