REJECTS APPLICATION.
Justice Stafford Declines to Enjoin

Justice Stafford Declines to Enjoin
Construction Of Bridge.
Justice Stafford of the District Supreme
Court has declined to enjoin the erection
by the District of Columbia Of bride
over T street in lexington. The bridge is
under construction in connection with the
changes Of grade in that locality made
necessary by the. railroad terminals.
George Truesdell, who owns property on
both sides of T street adjoining the bridge,
sought an injunction to prevent the build
ing Of the bridge, on the ground that 1t
would amount to the taking of his property
without just compensation. The elevation
of the bridge and the change in location
Of the street railway tracks, which are
to be placed where parking now exists.
Mr.. Truesdell alleged, would SO damage
his property as to amount to usurpation.
Justice Stafford held that on the dedica-
ton made by Mr.. Truesdell in the plat of
the lexington subdivision and under the
acts Of Congress to eliminate grade cross
irfgs, the Commissioners have authority to
erect the bridge or viaduct and to relocate
the street railway tracks. The complain
ants remedy, II any, for damages, the
court suggested, would be by action at
law or by claim before the grade-claims
commission.
Attorney John Ridout, representing Mr..
Truesdell, noted an appeal to the Court of
Appeals

Particulars Given and Reasons for
Burial at Sea.

The friends in Washington of the late

press of August 8, have been given the par
ticulars of his death and burial, which have
just been received from Mr.. Johan A..
Svensson, who accompanied Mr.. Peterson
on his trip abroad the LIST of June and who
was returning with him.
While visiting Sweden Mr. Peterson, who
in 1899 was received and decorated by King

among the Swedish people, was accorded an

and Mr.. Peterson enjoyed the best of health
up to the time he left Christiania on the
steamer Hellig Olav, due to arrive in New
York August Z.
After boarding the steamer an acute at
tack Of bronchitis set in, which combined
with seasickness to weaken him. He was
unable to retain nourishment. He was able
to go on deck by help of friends the morn
Ing of August 3. but his death occurred
suddenly and Unexpectedly that evening.
Owing to the marine law covering the Scan
dinavian steamers. the remains could not
be brought to shore. Notwithstanding all
kind of influence was brought to bear to
have this done the steamship officials were
compelled to refuse.
The funeral service, which was held the
following day at $3.50 o'clock with several
hundred passengers in attendance, is de-
scribed as the most impressive sight ever
witnessed by those on board. Rev. Henry
NJ Swan. pastor of the Swedish NJ e.
Church of Chicago. ILL.,, conducted the serv-
Ices, and the St. Olav College Band of
Northfield. MIMI, played. The casket,
draped with the two flags he loved so we'll
and with many beautiful flowers, was rever-
emily and reluctantly consigned to the deep.
to lie between the two countries to which
he was so devotedly attached. The MEM
bres of the Masonic fraternity present at
the funeral were Johan 4. Svensson of this
city. Capt. S. P. Hoist. Copenhagen, Den
mark; John o. K. Haltsbedt. New York;
