Special to The Washington Herald
Philadelphia. Feb. 27-Uuder orders
from Mayor Weaver and Director Of Pub
lie Works John r. Hathaway. an attempt
is being made by the city 10 evict the
tenants Of go buildings in the line of the
proposed parkway between CalIowhIIl and
Spring Garden streets.
Most Of these buildings are dwellings
occupied by the poorer class Of working
men and their families
These tenants had no adequate warning
most of them no warning OF any kind.
Such notices as the city sent We're served
on the landlords. and not on the tenants
Some of the landlords in turn, duped the
renters, even going 20 the length OF col
lecting rents far in advance.
The sight of SO much distress to-day
halted the contractors, who had been
ordered to tear down the houses. What
they had contracted TO do was to deal
with bricks and mortar not with the
tears and Wailing of widows and children
They are too young 10 deafen their ears
TO such cries as they heard to-day.
The contractors say they viii not do
the evicting. and put that part Of the job
up 10 the city. The authorities are in a
QuaudaTy.

by this miser from his father. The Bentz
family. as stated in the Baltimore Sun Of
January 16, 1906. is one Of the best known
in Frederick County. This miser is
descendant of the Bentz family. after
which one part of Frederick is named
and known TO this day as Bentztown.
In fact, the early history of Frederick
is interviewer with the Bentz family.
They are related through marriage to q

Fairbels, the Metzgers, the Brunuers, the
Markeys, the De Oranges, one of the

time owned most of the real estate on

on one block of this street. There is now
left but one person of that name living on
this block, a maiden lady supposed to be

NEGRO MUST PAY PENALTY.
Appeal Dismissed and Edward smith
Must Serve Fourteen Years.


The case OF Edward Johnson, a negro,
who was lynched at Chattanooga after
his appeal was taken to the Supreme
Court. and out of which grew the pending
contempt proceedings against Sheriff
Ship and twenty-five other residents of
Chattanooga, was recalled yesterday.
when counsel for the State Of Tennessee
asked the court TO docket and dismiss the
appeal of Edward Smith, also n negro.
from a sentence Of fourteen years for a
similar crime.
Smith has been confined in the state
prison at Knoxville for more than a year,
and his appeal has been before the Su-
preme Court since December. His counsel,
however, has failed 10 perfect it by filing
the necessary papers, and the motion on
behalf of the State was based on the
failure to prosecute within the limit re-
quired by the rules. The court granted
the motion. and the case was dismissed.
Smiths sentence, therefore, becomes eff
fective.

Engineer James Glow was shot and
killed and Fireman James Sullivan
was shot through the arm. Without
making an attempt TO blow up the ex.

the robbers jumped from the engine
and ran down the mountain-side, dis.
appearing in a. gulch several hundred
yards from the track.

Sheriff Webb of Yellowstone county

train crew, started on the trail of the
hold-up men five minutes after the
shooting. He trailed the men half a
mile and after picking up their masks
lost all tracks of the bandits.
On the tender Of the locomotive was
found telescope grip full of giant
powder, evidently intended for use in
blowing up the express car The men
boarded the train presumably at the
Butte transfer, where a locomotive for
the Montana division was attached
One mile west of Welch the men
crawled over the tender and, with
drawn guns, commanded the engineer
to stop the train, which he did En-.
gineer Glow, however, made show
of resistance and one of the robbers
fired, shooting him through the body,
killing him instantly. The other man
shot at Sullivan, breaking his arm.
Late in the afternoon sheriff's
posse arrested William Powers at
Woodville. suspected of being one Of
