A Law IN FORCE.
Regulation Requiring Removal Of Dirt
From Alleys.

Regulation Requiring Removal Of Dirt
From Alleys.
In connection with the statement to the
effect that there is now no law in force IN
the District, with reference to the removal
of dirt from the alleys, which dirt has ac-
cumulated by reason of the caving in of the
banks of the alleys, Major Sylvester today
called attention to the fact that in section
20, Of article 8, of the police regulations,
this matter is provided for in the District.
Major Sylvester states that this regula-
ton is being enforced almost daily in vart-
GUS parts of the city, and that the owners
Of property are required by the department
to keep the alleys free from accommodations
Of dirt. which may cave or wash into the
alleyways.
The corporation counsel held that since
the law of 1891 superseded that of 1895, and
the law of February 10 last repealed the
act Of 1897, there is now no law in force
obliging the owners Of abuttfng property to
remove the dirt from alleys. The police
regulation, 1t seems, Is effective to keep
the alleys free from dirt in the absence Of
any further law on the subject.

DEATH.
Verdict Of Jury in Case of Frank S
Nelson,

Photographs of IN abandoned crossing on
the Pennsylvania railroad near the Ben
ming race track were produced by Coroner
hewitt this morning at the inquest held in
the case of Frank 8. Nelson, the horse
trainer who was struck by a train and kill
ed Wednesday night. The coroner had the
police photographer take the photographs.
as he deemed 1t of Importance in the mat
ter Of the jury passing upon the alleged
dangerous conditions at the point where
the fatal accident occurred. 1t was stated
to the Jury that Attorney H. o. C1aughton
and Miss Gusts were killed there several
years ago, and that a deaf mute was killed
not far from there later.
1t was in evidence in Nelson's case to-
day that he had been discharged and was
crossing the tracks on his way to the Ben
ming Hotel. when he was killed by an in
coming train. There was a freight train
on the north bound track, which probably
hid the headlight of the passenger train
from view. When Nelson stepped from be-
hind the freight he was struck by the pas
senger engine and instantly killed.
The jury returned a verdict of accidental
death. Friends of Nelson will see to the
interment of the body. Nelson's home was
in Philadelphia, and had worked for Mr..
Gallagher, a horse owner.

CAPITOL EXTENSION.
Architects to Be Heard in Opposition
to the Walter Plans.

The Senate on appropriations
has agreed TO give a hearing tomorrow to
a committee of the American Institute of
Architects on the proposed plans for the
extension of the Capitol. These plans were
prepared by Thomas u. Walter and are IL
Illustrated in the model which is now on ex-
hibition in the rotunda of the Capitol.
The architects claim that the Walter
plans were made in haste and without suf-
ficient consideration, that they are merely
general in character and that they are not
sufficiently worked out to permit the extern
sion to be made.
The architects will favor the appointment
of IL board of architects to take the whole
matter of the extension of the Capitol un-
der consideration.
