FAVORABLY REPORTED.
Commissioners Recommend the Exten-
sion of w Street.

The passage of the bill providing for the
extension of w street through squares 1897
and 1898 of Beatty & Hawkins addition
to Georgetown was recommended today by
the Commissioners in a report forwarded
to Congress The Commissioners mention
that street, if extended westwardly from
the city would be approxima tely on the
same line DIS is proposed for W street *
tended The length of the extension is
about 400 feet, and portion of the way is
now open over private property which is
used by the public. The Commissioners I'M
derstand that about one-half of the street
will be dedicated prior to condemnation
proceedings being instituted, and the bill
provides that no such proceeding shall be
instituted until 40 per cent of the land nee
essary Is dedicated. The estimated cost of
the land necessary to be condemned. in
Guiding the improvements thereon. is s., 5Oo
The advantage to be gained in the extern
sion of this street, the Commissioners state,
Is that it will provide an outlet from 35th
street to the car line on SD, or High, street
Georgetown. No such outlet exists at pres
ent, as there is no east and west street be-
tween street and Madison street, a dis
lance of 900 feet Another reason for the
extension is the probable extension of L
street east of Rock creek from MasSachr-
setts avenue to Georgetown up the valley
Immediately north of u street and Linthi-
cum place. A portion of the land neces-
sary for this extension has been dedicated
near Lovers lane, and such a highway rs
that proposed by the extension of " street
and I street, the Commissioners believe. is
desirable for sewerage purposes as well as
a line of travel.
The Commissioners mention that there are
three old houses in the line of the proposed
extension but they are in dlapidated con-
dtion and 1t would be advantageous IN
this section of the District to have them re-
moved. The bill provides that the entire
amount found to be due and awarded as
damages shall be assessed as benefits on
adjacent property. 1t also provides that
parties dedicating land for the prop posed
extension shall be exempt from assessments
for benefits. Both these provisions are JUS
tifiabe in the present case, the Commits
sioners say.

Strange Dream of Heirship Was True.

Mrs George A. Bailey of Binghamton. N
Y, has learned that she is heir to about
800 through a peculiar dream. Two
nights in succession Mrs. Bailey dreamed
that Postmaster James H. Roberts was
reckoning her to him. Although she did not
know the postmaster the dream weighed
upon her mind to such extent that she
finally went to the post office and told him
of her dream
1t found that there was a letter for
her in the general delivery department and
that the missve had been there for about
Il month. The letter contained informa-
ton that a relative had died and left her
about 81 500.

SAID TO BE INSANE.
Warrant Charging Mrs. c. E. Garrison
With Larceny.

warrant was issued from the Police
Court today for the arrest of Mrs. Catherine
f., Garrison of 1909 Pennsylvania avenue.
1t is alleged in the warrant that she stole
500 from Mrs. Matilda Jackson, colored,
who lives at 2430 X street northwest
Detectives Parham and OBrien were
given the warrant to serve, but did not
have to search for Mrs. Garrison, as she
was already in custody. She called at po-
lice headquarters Tuesday night and wanted
to discuss her affairs with the detectives,
but the officers Were busy and told her to
return yesterday. When she returned her
conversation gave the detectives an idea
that she was insane.
She was shown to the Office of Sanitary
Officer Frank, who heard her tell what he
thought was rambling story. She said
something about having been accused of
taking $1,000 from Mrs. Jackson and de-
clared she had never seen the money. The
colored woman claims that she gave Mrs.
Garrison $1,020 to keep for her, and says
she afterward got $40 from her. One police
surgeon examined Mrs. Garrison this morn
ing and reported that she is insane. She
will be examined by other surgeons later.
Mrs Garrison has been engaged in the
business of embalming flowers. making
artificial flowers and shrouds for the dead.

TOO MANY CIGARETTES.
Charles A. Hruby Sent to st. Eliza
beth Asvlum

Charles A. Hruby, a former resident of
Manchester, Iowa, was committed to ST
Elizabeth Hospital for the Insane today
by Sanitary Officer Frank. He has been
employed as a messenger in the service of
the fish commission. His duties called him
to all parts of the country, and while on
the Mexican border, it is stated, he con-
tracted the habit of smoking strong Mex
lean cigarettes. He smoked them to such
an extent, it IS alleged that his mind be-
came affected. Yesterday he met Police
man elliott on a street car, and his con-
verSation gave the officer the Impression
that the stranger needed looking after.
Hruby said he had been refused an audi
ence with the President, and that he held
a number of checks that had been given
TO him by the late President Mckinley.
The surgeons reported that his mind was
affected, and he was sent to the asylum, as

HOSPITAL TREATMENT
HABIT OF SENDING PRISONERS TO
woRKHoUsE.

William Henderson, colored, is one of a
number of sick men who have applied to
the police for hospital treatment this win
ter and was placed In a cell. Then he
was taken to the Police Court and charged
with vagrancy. He was arraigned before
Judge Scott this morning and he repeated
his plea that he be sent to a place where
he could get treatment. Henderson told the
policeman he was sick and said he had no
home here. 1t was about o'clock last
night when the colored man met Policeman
Macdonald on the street and made the re-
quest of him. The policeman gave the
sick man an iron bench upon which to
rest himself over night. This morning he
was given free ride to the Police Court,
where he was given cup of coffee and
sandwich. Then he was taken before the
judge. The policeman told of meeting
the stranger on the street last night and
of the request he made Judge Scott did
not near the policeman's statement about
tne prisoners condition and suggested that
Henderson might walk home If he lived
near mere, but as his home is in Cumber-
land. ne could not be expected to walk
there In such severe weather
But said Mr.. Pugh, assistant corpora
ton counsel. "the man is sick"
IF that is the case,'' the court said,
let him go down for month with a rec
CONTAMINATION tnat he be given hospital
treatment If he needs it,
Only One of a Number.
Henderson is only one of a number Of
SICK persons who have applied to policemen
on the street for aid this winter and been
placed behind the bars as alleged vagrants
In most cases it developed that the sick
ness was brought on by exposure, while
some of the sick ones had been drinking
prior to the time they made the requests
That they were sick, however could not
be questioned There was one particularly
SAD case in which the sick man complained
that his feet had been frosted and it was
necessary to assist him through the dock
IN order that he might reach the rail where
he could see the judge who was to pass
sentence upon him for alleged vagrancy
judge Scott has commented upon more
than one case and told the applicants for
hospital treatment that 1t was not within
his power to order them taken to the hos
p1tal, but he could recommend that they be
given hospital treatment In such cases
the judge followed the course which he
pursued in the case that was tried today
In order to send them down a conviction of
vagrancy is recorded against them but
most of them have shown a willingness to
plead guilty to almost any charge in order
to get into 4 hospital
