ended UP in a swarm in a tree at the cor

bees was held. one Of the queens that
was dethroned-and also killed-was sew

fashioned or something for the young fell

other queen. which lost her life in the
melee, or sting fest, was a sister to the
young queen who was selected unanimous
ly for the place
Where the bees--one great swarm of
them-came from. no one knew. During
the day they began gathering on a limb.
and soon formed a mass Of buzzing, cleo
tioneering revolutionizing little honey
bees, or rather dr0nes.
Then the real fracas began. Some Of
the boys only a few Of them, apparently,
wanted the old queen, who they felt had
done time and could be relied upon,

Caucuses were held in the air, just
above the heads of the pedestrians. on
the tree limbs all along New York ave

nearly everywhere in the neighborhood.

OBJECT TO DUMPING PLAN.
Citizens Want Rock Creek Preserved
without Sweepines.

Charles FfOulke. president Of the So
ciety of Fine Arts, and George A. King.
an attorney and resident Of Georgetown,
who protested to the Commissioners
against the dumping of ashes and refuse
along the shores of Rock Creek. will. It
was stated yesterday, insist upon a public
hearing on the question.
In reply to the statement from the
Commissioners Office that the street
cleaning department would dump about
1900 cubic feet OF sweepings there that
would make excellent fertilizer if the
open-park plan is adopted, it is said that
this dumping would be an unmitigated
nuisance. and that il would so narrow
the valley that the open-park plan would
be impracticable, or the dumpings would
all have to be re-excavated at great ex-
pense. This consideration. it is held, out
weighs entirely the advantage Of using
these sweepings es fertilizer.
