How Thackeray Worked.

When Thackeray was in Richmond,

if he ever dictated his words to an

that he composed good deal in this

1t was the last day Of meeting in

a fair skate in the last event Of the

roller coas aster track, there was a pitch
hole, such as often is seen on coun-

The owner, with great load off his

Mary Stewart Again in Custody.

Mary Stewart, the young woman from
Lewinsville, Va, who has been arrested in
this city on two occasions for alleged theft
is again in custody. She was arrested a
short time ago for robbing a patient in the
Washington Asylum Hospital, where she
was nurse. Sentence suspended and
she was released upon condition that she
return home. She went home, but returned
here and was arrested by Detectives Horne
and Warren yesterday as an alleged fugi-
tive from her parents. She was wearing a
brooch which proved to be part of the pro-
ceedS of the robbery committed at the
Epiphany Church two Sundays ago. Detec-
tive Helan took charge of the prisoner and
says she admitted that she had committed
the robberies at the church. Four members
of the choir were robbed of small sums OF
money articles of jewelry and furs. Most
of the property has been recovered Miss
Stewart is only seventeen years of age, but
is full grown. She is being held at the house
of detention until tomorrow, when she will
be given a hearing in the Police Court.

SUIT TO ANNUL DEED
JUSTICE MORRIS, TRUSTEE, ACT.
T.. E. WAGGAMAN AND OTHERS.

Proceedings in equity to have a deed set
aside have been instituted in the Su9re me
Court of the District of Columbia by Mar
tin F. MANS, who Is one of the associate
justices of the Court of Apeals, but VINO
sues in his capacity as trustee of the estate
of Samuel F. Vinton, deceased, against
Thomas E. Waggaman and other DEFEND
ants, including Cardinal Gibbons or Bal
timore. the Sisters of Mercy, METROPOLITAN
Savings Bank of Baltimore, John F. Wag-
gaman. Charles P. Crandell, Cecilia M.
Coughlin, Edward S. Morse of Salem.
Mass; Ernest L. Schmidt, Charles Z.
Schriver and Harry M. Bensinger or Bal
timore, trustees. The complainant asks the
court to set aside a release of deed OF
trust on lots 81 80, "a and 30, in square 13o,
this city. in which deed of trust Thomas f..
Waggaman and John F. Waggaman are
named IS trustees.
The charge is made in the bill OF COM
plant that the release of a deed of trust
securing notes held by the complainant
and Cardinal Gibbons was wrongfully and
fraudulently executed and delivered by the
Waggamans: that false and fraudulent
recital was contained in the deed of release
signed by Thomas E. Waggaman, with the
designation after his name of agent for
holder of notes. that this statement made
by Mr.. Waggaman, was false and fraudu-
lent in every particular, and that he is not
now and never has been the agent for the
complainant, or for the estate of Samuel
F. Vinton, or its trustee. all of which. it is
declared, was we'll known to John +. Wag-
gaman at the time he executed the Dur
ported release.
Notes as an Investment.
1t is explained that the estate represented
by Trustee Morris purchased the notes held
by it from Thomas E. Waggaman as an in
vestment and at the time of the purchase
of them Mr. Waggaman represented that
they were well secured upon the lots. The
estate claims to be now the owner and
holder Of them; that it has always retained
possession of them, and, although the pur-
ported release was executed and put on
record December IA, 1899 that interest has
been continuously paid on the notes up to
June Is, 1904. The complainant says that
neither he nor any person interested In the
estate had any notice or knowledge that
any release of the deed of trust had been
executed or put on record and they re-
ceived no knowledge of the fact until after
Thomas E. Waggaman had been adjudged
a bankrupt, and after an examination of
the land records. made in October, 1904
revealed the existence of the purported re-
lease.
In addition to asking that the release be
declared void and Oh effect, the COM
Waggaman and John F. Waggaman as
trustees and the appointment of another
person to foreclOse the deed of trust and
satisfy the debt due the complainant and
the other holders of the notes.
Cole & Donaldson represent the complain
ant.
1t is understood that Thomas E. Wagga-
man has gone to Shorb. Cal, for the benefit
of his health, which is said to be seriously
affected.

CLEANING THE STREETS
MEN AT WORK On pENNsYL-
WANNA AVENUE.

Joy reigns in the hearts of the merchants
who have places of business along Penn
sylvania avenue. This morning early work
was commenced In cleaning off the heavy
accumulation of ice and mud that has pre-
scented such an unsightly appearance since
the first SHOWS began to fall upon the ma
TONS capital. Congress recently appropri-
ated 5000 for the purpose of removing the
snow and ice from the streets of Wash
ington, and in this bill provision was
made that $500 be set aside for the pur-
pose of cleaning Pennsylvania avenue for
the inaugural parade. This provision has
been pronounced wise by those interested
in the matter but 1t has been urged that
the money could be used for cleaning up
the avenue thoroughly, commencing at
once
Within week the population of the cap
ital will have been added to by thousands
with thousands OF people coming in daily
after that time. 1t has been pointed out
that many of these people have never be-
fore been in Washington, and that as first
impressions are always lasting it would be
well to let them at least view the avenue
which is the pride of the District, in its
best light.
Help From Committee.
Attention has been called to the posi-
bility of another snow storm before the
inaugural exercises and catching the Dis
trict authorities without the necessary
funds for cleaning it off Indications from
the weather prognOsticating authorities are
that the winter is broken and the proba-
bility of a heavy snow storm is not in any
sense a certainty. However even under
those conditions 1t has been suggested that
should the fund be exhausted by the Com
missioners in making the streets present
able and paSSable for the guests who will
orriy-n hoo of thn do Fo,
pageant on the avenue, the inaugural COM
mittee would gladly come to the rescue with
funds to pay for the removal Of such snow
might cover the ground on the day be-
fore the inauguration
Generally Surplus.
1t is pointed out that after the expenses
of each inauguration have been paid in the
past there has been a surplus. The ad-
vance subscriptions and sales of ball spe-
cial privileges and stand tickets for the
inaugural of President Roosevelt have ex-
ceeded expectations, and 1t is safe to pre-
sumo that there VIII be similar surplus
this time, which could not be put to better
use than in helping the Commissioners out
of any hole in which they may find them
selves, especially as Congress appears dis
posed to grant only few dollars at time
for this purpose.
1t has been suggested that in cleaning off
the streets, after the removal of the ice and
snow, the fire department might be brought
into play with good effect. 1t is pointed
out that with several hours of warm wealth
er half dozen fire engines stationed along
the route the parade will take could flush
the paving and clean it of the mud and
slush in a manner not to be excelled by
any other plan.
Business men and the citizens generally
are very much interested in this matter,
and the talk is general on the subject.
