Special Correspondence Of The Star.
LEESRURG, Va, November II, 1908.
The Leesburg Steam Laundry, which be-
longs to the estate of the late John s..
Titus and Messrs. Carr and Clemens of this
town, was last night almost entirely de-
stroyed by fire. Shortly after o'clock
flames broke out from the rear of the build
ing, and almost Immediately the whole
structure was ablaZe. For a time it looked
as if all that part of town would go, but
the local fire companies acted promptly and
not only prevented the adjoining buildings
from igniting, but also checked the flames
in the laundry before the latter was en-
tirely consumed.
The origin OF the fire is not known nor
can any possible reason be. found for it.
The loss was entirely covered by insur-
ance
The funeral of the late John Norris who
died here early Thursday morning, took
place Yesterday afternoon at o'clock from
his late residence on West Loudoun street,
copal Church, officiating. The services were
very largely attended.
Six of his grandsons, Messrs. John and
Harry Norris of Washington D. c. and
Charles, Thomas, William and Edward
Norris of Leesburg, acted as palIbearers,
while the floral tributes, which were beau
tiful and numerous, vert placed upon the
grave by the granddauBhters of the de-
ceased.
The organization of Y. NJ c. A. In
Leesburg is progressing rapidly. Mr.. Vance
the county secretary, has rented rooms in
the central part of town and has decided
to stay in Leesburg until January so that
the work in the town and throughout the
county can be fully organized and put into
good running order. These rooms will be
the Y. NJ. c. A. headquarters in the coun-
ty. and arrangements are being made to
furnish them plainly but comfortably
A committee composed of Dr.. A. l.. Pen

WANTS MORE MONEY.
Claims Refund Due From District
Greater Than Amount rendered.

Repeated efforts have been made during
recent months byt he New York Continental
Jewell Filtration Company 10 secure from
the District government a refund OF
So. 1926, which the company claims is due
on account of work done by the District in
lowering water mains and sewers a the in
tersection of New Jersey avenue and u
street southeast. on the line of the Ist
street tunnel improvement. 1t is stated that
the New York firmr contractors for the
Pennsylvania railroad, deposited a total OF
SSiS1 with the collector of taxes. TO cover
the cost of lowering the sewers and mains.
which work was done by the District en-
gineering department.
When it was completed and the accounts
balanced the auditors office stated that "A
refund of S1o12.6S was due the New York
Continental Jewell Filtration Company. and
vouchers for this amount were tended TO
the firm The latter objected TO the state
ment OF the account and finally referred
the matter to a local law firm. The con-
tentlon set up by the company and its
counsel is that the District could properly
charge against the deposit only such por-
ton of the work as came within the actual
right of way of the railroad. and quoting
the act of Congress approved February
l. 1901, TO sustain its claim. The local
law firm repeated the contention of its
client that Sc 1926 was due instead OF
81 012.6S.
The Districts side of the case is based
upon the showing that the change in sew
e-s and water mains was required solely on
account of the tunnel construction for the
railroad; upon a different construction OF
the act of Congress quoted, showing that
the act related. only to changes In grades
of streets where the District was REQUIRED
to meet the expenses of construction out
side the railroads right of way. and upon
a letter from William II. Brown, chief en-
gineer OF the Pennsylvania railroad In
which the latter stated: ." Our con-
tractor, or the company, will have to be
at the whole expense of taking care of the
passenger railways, sewers, water pipes.
etc" In a word, the District is standing
pat on the contention that only 81 ,0l2.6S is
oW ed to othe New York Continental Jewell
Filtration Company.
