Polo Notes.
In the Maine Polo League, Thursday
night. at Rockland, Lewiston won a hard
fought overtime game, to 3. The teams
were very evenly matched. At the end OF
the third period Mitchell was struck in
the neck by the ball and compelled to
retire in favor of a substitute. O'Brien
made the decisive goal in q little more
than two minutes. The ball was in Lew
iston's territory most of the time. and
the clever work of Cote saved defeat

unable to find any growing in the vicinity.

IN CUSTODY FOR ROBBERY.
Edward L. Wootson Taken to Gordons
vile, Va, for Trial.

Edward L. Wootson, young colored man,
who left Gordonsvile, Va, a month ago
and came to this city to live. was arrested
here this morning by Detectives Parham
and O'Brien and turned over to Special
Constable r. G. Watkins, who took him
back to the Virginia town this afternoon.
1t Is charged that he robbed DR.. A. B. Way
land Of Crozet, Va, while the latter was in
Gordonsville attending a melting of the
medical association Of Orange county, A
gold watch and chain, some clothing a
small amount Of cash and other articles
are alleged to have been stolen. Wootson
was surprised this morning when the de-
tectives found him at 917 9th street north
west, where he has lived since he came
here a month ago.
The physician had an uncomfortable ex-
perience on the occasion of the alleged rob-
berry and made every effort to keep the
affair from the public, but his desire to get
back the timepiece, which was present
from his mother, caused him to invoke the
aid Of the law. Wootson was wearing the
watch and portion Of the doctors clothing
when he was placed under arrest He denied
that he had stolen them and claimed they
were given to him by the owner.
1t appears that on a Saturday night after
the close of the meeting Of the medical men
DIR. Wayland became indisposed and about
1870 o'clck he was seen to pass the power
house Of the electric road in Gordonsville
and go in the direction of the railroad yard
Wootson was with him at that time, but
about l o'clock in the morning when the
doctor returned he was wearing only his
undergarments. Stopping at the power
house, he borrowed a suit Of overalls and
boarded an early morning train going to
Charlottesville, where he purchased a dupli-
cate of the suit of clothes that had been
taken off him while he slept. He succeeded
in getting the suit he wanted and when he
reached home there was nothing about his
appearance to indicate that anything I'M
usual had happened to him. His Panama
hat and portion of his clothing had been
left in the car, Wootson taking away the
other garments.
After reaching this city the colored man
wrote letters to his relatives and it was in
this way that the officers at Gordonsville
learned Of his whereabouts. The special
constable had warrant alleging the theft
of about 500 worth Of property belonging
to the doctor, and the prisoner returned
with him without demanding hearing.

TO ASK RoR REsURvEY.
Hillsdale Citizens Want Land Dedicat-
ed for Streets

A mass meeting of the citizens of Hills
dale and vicinity was held last night IN
Douglas Hall, Howard and Nichols ave
nues under the auspices of the citizens as
ISOLATION of the suburb, for the purpose OF
taking some action relative to the status
of the streets and highways Of that section.
The president of the association, Mr.. j. b.
Anderson, was in the chair and Secretary
r. U. Wilkinson recorded the minutes.
After President Anderson had announced
the object Of the gathering, the secretary
read letter sent to the Commissioners OF
the Distinct April IA last in which the ques-
ton as to the ownership of the streets or
avenues in the subdivision known as Barry
farm was preached. In this communica-
ton 1t was stated that from the original
recorded subdivision of the tract called
Barry farm, made by a surveyor in 1867, II
appears that certain parts OF the subdlvi-
sion were designated as streets, avenues
OF highways, although there exists no iegaI
evidence that the land SO designated was
ever dedicated or granted to the govern
ment for public use. ,...
The streets have been used as public high
ways for thirty-eight years, the Commas
sioners were told, although persons owning
property fronting on them are required to
pay taxes to the center Of the street. The
reading Of this communication was followed
by the presentation of the Commissioners
reply, under date of August 5. in which 1t
was stated that the status of the streets
In this subdivision is in considerable doubt.
Streets exist in this subdivision, but 1t Is
known that in some. II not all, Of these the
lot lines run into the roadways. To deter
mine the matter 1t would be necessary to
make resurvey of the entire subdivision.
This the Commissioners do not deem ad-
visable to take up unless on the request OF
all the owners Of property interested, and
statement on their part that they are
willing to dedicate the streets, if it should
be determined that such dedication is neces-
sary."
The situation was then discussed at some
length by r. H. Lewis, Joseph r. Harris,
John Waters, Matthew Taylor, Joseph
Sampson, Charles E. Howard, DR.. w. X.
Scott, William H. Underdue, Henry Mat
thews Charles E. Edelin, and Attorney w.
c. Martin. who is acting for the association
in the matter.
Attorney Martin gave brief history OF
Barry farm, which is now populated by
about 1900 coIored people. He said it was
subdvided by private parties as place
for freedmen to settle and that the high
ways had never been dedicated to the Dis
trict. He urged that the people consent
to dedicate such land as Is necessary and
ask for resurvey. This was finally de-
cided upon the preliminary step and
President Anderson appointed a committee
for each street to circulate papers among
the property owners to this effect

INAUGURATION DATE.
Committee Considering Change to Meet
in Washington November q

Commissioner Macfarland, as chairman
OF the national committee on the proposed
change of inauguration day, has called a
meeting OF the committee for Wednesday
November 8, at which the manner of the
presentation of the subject to Congress at
Its coming session Is to be considered II
Is believed that there will be considerable
representation of the forty-one governors
of states and territories who have accepted
service on the committee, as we'll as of the
fifteen District of Columbia members OF
the committee. Commissioner Mcfarland
however, has asked every member of the
committee who finds 1t impracticable to be
present to send his views In writing, partic-
ularly as to two questions.
The first question is whether the commit
tee should advocate the selection Of any
particular day. as, for example, the Goth
of April, George Washingtons Inauguration
day, or the last Thursday in April the day
named in Senator Hoar's resolution, which
passed the Senate unanimously two years
ago and was supported by this committee
as the day to which the inauguration
should be changed.
The second question is whether the COM
mittee should make any recommendation
to Congress as to any change in the time
of the meeting of Congress. Two years ago
the committee felt 1t inexpedient to compli-
cate the proposition to change the inau-
guration day with the perplexing and de-
batable question of the time of the assem-
bling of Congress, regarding them as not
necessarily connected.
Commissioner mcfarland Is receiving a
large number of editorials from the princi-
pal newspapers of the country commencing
the efforts of the committee to secure the
change in Inauguration day, indicating new
public interest In the question.

LIQUOR Went to His Head.

Raymond Beckett, a young coored man,
was before the Police Court today for being
drunk.
Judge, you see it was like this" began
the prisoner Il had been moving furniture
for a man all day and we hadn't scratched
up his walls or anything. and he says to
me: You have worked good, and | will
give you a drink And he went back and
got bottle Of Scotch whisky. Course 1
wasn't used to dat, and 1t went to my
head and took way my reason, Judge. And
didn't know where was until woke up
in the station house this morning." Beck
EFT was arrested by Officer Allan yester-
day.
THAT officer knows that I work every
day" continued Raymond, pointing to the
man who had picked him up.
HE works when he can, but he gets
drunk at night" was the recommendation
of the officer.
You can have a steady job for the next
thirty days." concluded Judge O'Neal.
Thank you,"said the defendant. He as
sumed his new position this afternoon.
