Proposed Construction,

According to a statement given out in
Baltimore few days ago. it is proposed
to construct line from that city into the
District of Columbia. 1t was expected to
be in operation by June /, when the mono
rail system. as invented by Mr.. Howard
Tunis Of that city. would be given a fair
test. 1t Is the purpose to reconstruct Or
binary street cars on the monorail pat
tern for use on this line, as 1t is expected
to serve only local traffic, and the high
speed which Mr.. Tunis' invention Is said
to be capable Of is not needed. When the
success of the invention is demonstrated
the line will be pushed on to Baltimore
over the route originally mapped out by
the Baltimore and Washington Transit
Company. This has a curvature to the
north of the Baltimore and Ohio road be-
tween Baltimore and Washington. and
will serve a thickly settled territory in
Montgomery, Howard and Baltimore coun-
ties
With the completion of the entire road
which the promoters admit Is some time in
the future, cars capable of high speed will
be especially constructed. These will be
cigar shaped. so as to afford the least air
resistance, and. 1t is said, will be capable
of making sixty miles or more an hour.

Mr.. Mellen Outlines Plans.

Mr.. Mellen outlined practically the same
plans as presented to the council at the
meeting last Thursday night, and when
pressed by members of the council for
more definite information on the subject of
the monorail system said that he did not
wish to go into details in connection with
the road" When Councilman Morrison in
formed him that his plans would undoubt-
eddy carry considerable weight in the coun-
ellis decision in the matter he still refused
to divulge his plans.
At this point the discussion became some
what heated and Councilman Douglas Of
fered a motion that 1.-The charter be de-
clared void and the company be ordered to
remove its rails
The motion was modified somewhat and
the matter was finally referred to the Or
dinance committee, with orders to prepare
an ordinance repeating the present ordi-
nance and annulling the charter of the rail-
road.
Mr.. Mellen was requested by the council
in the meantime, to prepare a statement
setting forth the plans and views of tie
company and the improvements contem-
plated by the company and submit them at
the next meeting of the council At that
meeting the council will have received the
decision from the towns attorneys and be
prepared to take final action in the matter.

Relative to Taxes Due,

Relative to the matter of taxes due on the
road and of the statement in the letter of
the attorneys for the railroad that the town
of Takoma Park was responsible for, and on
account of the rental Of $50 per month
payable during the year 1903 when the road
was operated by Takoma Park, Mayor Kin
men, in communication addressed to the
District Commissioners in the summer of
that year, stated that in the agreement
drawn between the town Of Takoma Park
and the pool room management Of Wild
wood the proprietorS were to assign, trans
fer and set over to the town of Takoma
Park the lease and all rights and privileges
held by Thomas g. Holt for the electric
railway and the rolling stock belonging to
the Baltimore and Washington Transit
Company. The assignment of the lease was
to be made to extend for a period begin
ming August and ending October 49, 1903.
The town Of Takoma Park was to incur by
the agreement no risk or obligation for
any period longer than the aforementioned
term and to incur no obligation to the
owner or present lessee of the railway or
Its equipment for or on account of any rent
or charges before October Is, 1t being dis
tinctly understood that all rent and charges
under the lease were fully paid by the pro-
prietors, all of which payment insured to
the use Of the town of Takoma Park. It
was also understood that the execution of
the agreement should impose no obligations
upon the town to accept the assignment of
the lease. but that the assignment should
be made IL the town notified the attorneys
for the proprietors before August of the
intention Of the town Of Takoma to accept
the assignment for the period named.
The town granted the railroad permission
to remove the rails on the property owned
by the railroad, but refused permission to
remove or loosen any of the rails on the
public highways of Takoma Park. 1t was
stated last night that the rails which are
being removed from the company's prop
erty have been sold for use in connection
with the excavation for the new House
of Representatives building on Capitol Hill.
The bailiff was instructed before the meet
ing to carry out the orders of the council
preventing any further removal of rails, or

ordinance relating to the Baltimore ana
Washington Transit Company and annui-
ling ITS charter to operate the road. In the
event that the council at its next meeting
adopts the ordinance annulling the charter
the company will be ordered to remove its
tracks within the corporation. The town
authorities at the meeting last night again
refused the company permission to con-
tinue the work of removing the rails in the

line of the railroad.
The meeting last night was held at the

sented at the meeting last night, but for
some unaccountable reason Iid not arrive.

In Memoriam.

The Smith Branch community is
called upon to mourn the loss Of the
most elderly lads Of this section-of
one who has taken active interest in
the welfare of her neigbbors for years.
Mary R'sh, born almost a century
ago, quietly passed away about noon
Of the 18th nit. The God, who gave
the life, called the spirit back to be
with Him in that cline, free from
sorrowe, pains aDd cares of this world.
Though aged, she performed regu'
larly the light duties of kindness and
helpfulness of her busy life until
Friday before her decesse from which
time she was confined to her room
She bore her suferings with Chris
tian fortitude. The end was like
glorious sunset her face illumined
with rays from the Celestial City.
Her deeds of love and words OF
gentleness and encouragement are
deeply implanted in the hearts of
those younger than she. By her
kindness and sympathy she won the
love of strangers and made them feel
at home when near her.
She leaves to mourn ber loss her
only sous, Curtis r and Noah Rish,
ten grandchildren, eleven great
grandchildren, mary other relatives
and host of friends.
The funeral services we're conduct
ed by Rev Lsroy Lucas in FIoreoce
church, of which che was faithful
member. The body was inferred in
Florence cemetery where it awaits
the resurrection morn.

A Test Of Railroad Suits.

Solicitor j. W. Thurmond, as at
torney, has flied in the Supreme
Court the briefs in several important
cases in euit, sggregating $4,000,
against the railroads, and which will
in way test the law regulating suits
against foreign corporations. The
cults are those brought against the
Southern bv Hattie S. and J. S Fow-
Ter for 100000 for injuries received
oa train; those brought BY Mary
E Able. of Lexington, for $4,000,
for the death of her husband, and
the suit for the estate Of W. NJ. Crout,
of Saluda, for the killing Of Crout,
for S20,0U0
According to decision of the
Uoited States Supreme Court q suit
against foreign corporation cannot
be brought for more than $4,000 in
any State courts and when the suits
aggregate more they are transferred
to the federal court. The sttorneys
especially in railroad cases have al.
ways gotten around this in cases OF
accidents by making either the en-
eineers or conductors party to the
suits and this has always been con-
sidered legal. The decision will be
awaited with interest as it is the
fret time that it has ever been
brought up in this shape to the
Supreme Court and will affect all
railroad cases in the State of simi'
lar nature.
