Cutting Telegraph Wires.

Report has been made to the police that
twenty wires had been cut from between
two poles on the line of the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad near Woodbridge, not far from
the District line. Baltimore and Ohio de-
tectives were detailed to assist the police
of the ninth precinct in making an investi-
cation.
The police had an idea that the cutting
was probably done by some person or per-
sons who had a grievance against the rail-
road company, but in view of past transac-
lions along the line of the railroads 1t also
seemed that the wires were taken to be
sold. Several times during the past few
weeks wires have been cut from poles in
the District or Maryland. In each instance
the trespassers were careful to take the
expensive copper wire

Justice Anderson of the District Supreme

cause Friday. December IA, next why the
writ of mandamus should not issue against

tinued to discharge the same duties after

ferred to, and having contributed to the
police pension fund, he was cited to APP
pear in July last before the police trial

petent to perform his duties and was rec
commended for dismissal 1t Is added that
by the act of Congress approved February
%, 1886, 1t was provided. among other
things: THAT the police fund raised by
assessment upon the policemen and from

Oh any policemen who by injury received
or disease contracted in line Of duty or
having served not less than fifteen years

for pension by reason of old age and the
fact that he has served so many years on
the force and had been entitled to the PEN

PLAYGROUND MEMBERS
Will Operate as Separate and In
dividual Body-Temporary Con-
stitution Adopted.

Less than fifteen members Of the public
Fairgrounds committee Of the Associated
Charities met in the rooms Of the Washing
ton Board Of Trade last night and voted to
withdraw from that association and operate
as separate and individual body. This
action resulted from a resolution offered by
DR.. Curtis, supervisor Of public Fairgrounds.
He declared that no good could be accom-
plished by being connected with the Asso-
ciated Charities and that the fostering wing
Of the latter would only prove detrimental
to the success OF the playground movement
in the District.
In defining his motive for suggesting the
separation DR.. Curtis stated that the work
and object Of the playground movement
has been seriously confused with charity,
want the Fairgrounds for the use Of the
rich and middle classes Of children as we'll
as the poor" he said. by being associated
with charity association we have met
parents Of the former classes Of children
discourage their children using the play
grounds. We also lack the necessary dig
nifty by this association with charity"
Temporary Constitution.
With his resolution DR.. Curtis submitted
constitution for the operation of the Sc
ceding body. His constitution provides
that they adopt the name of the Washing
ton Fairgrounds Association; that it shall
be incorporated: that there shall be four
classes Of members, certain officers and
committees"
However, the constitution was not taken
up permanently last night.
1t was pointed out by some Of the men,
bers present that owing to the slimness Of
the attendance at the meeting 1t might be
better to have q committee appointed to
consider specifically the provisions set forth
in the proposed constitution and that q re-
port be made at the next meeting before
Jumping at q Conclusion" DR.. Curtis, Maj.
Sylvester and Attorney Clephane were ap-
pointed on this committee. They will de-
vote particular attention to the question Of
Incorporating the new association.
A report upon the merging Of the play
ground work, from q committee composed
Of DR.. Curtis, John B. Sleman, jr., and w.
II. Baldwin was read by Secretary Hatch. A
for the merging Of the Boys Club Associa-
adopted. Mr.. Stevens said this Boys Club
Association was founded in Georgetown
three years ago and has been increased
with much success.
The meeting was concluded by the ap-
pointing of members to the various subcom-
mittees to serve temporarily until the date
set for the election of the permanent COM
mitteemen under the new association, and
with the temporary adoption of DR.. Curtis
constitution, under which the association
will operate until the permanent constitu-
ton has been drawn up by the special COM
mite and adopted.
