foreman of the wreck crew.
Construction Engineer Kennon
returned to Brunswick, yesterday.
Fred Waller is substituting
Harry Graves on the Thomasville
train, during the lay off Of the lat

Steam Shovel No / will finish
excavation for the double track i'll
a few days and then go to Monte
yuma for Il couple of weeks, after
which, the crew will return here
to, begin the large freight yards
which are to be placed out at the
shops. There will be four tracks
one mile long which will be run
clear around the enclosure OF the
ShOpS-Outside of h fence.
-Four new switch engines will be
sent to the ShOpS-One to remain
at this point-0ne at Brunswick,
one at Oglethorpe and Ganother at
Lagrange. These engines will be
100 tons each and will require
new and larger rails. There will
be no pony engines in the new
freight yards. The placing of the
freight yards at the hopsite will
be a benefit to Fitzgerald. 1t
will do away withSthe dirt, noise,
smoke and other attendant incOn-
that would be annoy
ing. This does not mean that
freight will be left out there to be
hauled in. We are speaking, of
the making up of trains and every
thing incident to that line OF
work.
The ties and rails for the second
track are being laid right on the
heels of the Steam Shovel. The
excavation and remodeling Of the
A. B. & A., track on Ocmulgee
street has been about as expensive
as to make new track-but for
the right of way which the road
owned. Fortunately for
the business interests Of Fftzger-
a new track was not made, for,
in all likelihood the laying of a
new track would have meant
site for the depot, AS it
is, the location for the new depot is
nearly central, and as near the bust
ness portion as could have been
selected.

May Day at the Dyer Dry
Goods Co.

Two beautiful windows face Madi-
son avenue from the store of the
Dyer Dry Goods Company this week
and one of them is so striking in de-
sign and execution and so appropri-
ate for the first day of May as to
merit especial mention.
The scene is May Pole party in
pink and white, one dozen large dolls
and little brown Teddy Bear max
ing up the tableau. Seven of the fl
cures are posed as dancing, each
carrying ribbon which is draped from
the top of the pole, while the May
Queen sits by with rose in her hand
ready to award the prettiest dancer
according to the custom of the May
Day story. Two of the figures swing
from the cross arm of the May Pole
and the fiddler occupies an appropri-
ate place in the corner.
The whole picture is in the dainti-
est style and will greatly delight the
little folks as we'll as prove of inter
est to all who can appreciate true
artistic effect in window decoration.

BILL TO REGULATE LOANS.
Draft Of Measure Which Commission.
er West Submits.

Commissioner Vests draft of bill which
proposes to regulate the loaning of money
in the District was submitted to Chairman
Babcock of the District committee of the
House yesterday with recommendation
for early enactment The Commissioners
are particularly ANXIOUS for Congress to
pass this legislation before 1t adjourns, as
they are convinced that the money lending
business in Washington has assumed large
proportions and some of those engaged in
the business are resorting to INSCRIPTIONS
methods.
In their letter accompanying the proposed
measure the Commissioners stated that
great mass and variety of pamphlets. cards,
dodgers and other advertising matter rep
resentng money lending concerns other
than national banks. trust companies, saw
ings banks and the like are distributed
over the District and illustrate the extent
to which such concerns are being null
tiplied here. Most of the establishments
which send out these circulars are anony-
mously conducted. and offer every conceiv-
able inducement to entice people to borrow
money from them. In the judgment of the
Commissioners these concerns should be
compelled to pay a license and to conform
to certain regulations to secure surveillance
and inspection of their business in the
public interest for reasons similar to those
which led to the legislation regulating the
authorization and licensing Of employment
agencies

whom all the necessaries Of life are
furnished. 1t Is the object Of the So
ciety that aid shall be given in answer to
the applicant is found to be worthy. The
Southern Relief Society numbers about 200
member4
In the great work accomplished by the
ladies Is developed many pathetic features.
Besides finding employment for those who
are able to work, the aged and helpless
are placed in institutions Where their needs
will be provided for. A case of this kind
is that of an invalid veteran, perfectly
helpless, who after months Of battle with
want and sickness at last found haven Of
rest where his remaining days will be
peaceful and his every want supplied. Often
1t Is discovered naught but the almshouse
stares these unfortunates in the face, and
timely aid in many instances tides over
their distress, frequently caused by illness
or sudden misfortune. Speedy aid often
alleviates untold misery and suffering.
Another instance of a pathetic character
is that of a feeble widow, over eighty years
of age, who was given immediate as
ton secured for her to her distant home in
Texas, enabling her to spend her last years
with loved ones.
1t is for these and the numberless unex-
pected cases that aid is given and needed
and it is a great comfort to the members
of the society to know that by generous
patronage the proceeds Of the ball are such
the veterans. Systematic business methods
are employed in the giving Of relief and
the knowledge that the public Is interested
and ever ready to help is felt with CRATE
full and sincere appreciation by those who
labor in this worthy cause.

JURISDICTION OF CORONER.
Counsel Expresses Views
on Mr.. Davis Bill.

The bill recently introduced in the House
by Representative Pearre Of Maryland at
the instance Of former United States At
torney Henry E. Davis, which provides for
transferring the appointment of the District
coroner from the jurisdiction of the Com
missioners to the Supreme Court of the
District. was strongly opposed by the cor
poration counsel in report upon it to the
Commissioners today.
This bill was prepared by Attorney Davis
as a result of the Terra Gotta inquiry. He
represented one of the defendants before
the coroner when the inquest was held, and
he declares that the coroner is possessed
of too much power. Mr.. Davis bill furti y
provides that the power now vested in the
coroner to arrest or apprehend or detain
on account of the death he may be inquir-
ing into be revoked and that his salary be
fixed at $1,SOO.
In his report to the Commissioners the
corporation counsel says he sees no reason
why the appointing power should be taken
from the Commissioners or why the powers
now enjoyed by the coroner should be cur
tailed He adds that without the power to
hold persons or witnesses his Office would
be lacking in efficiency and his services as
public officer would be practically with
out force. .-.,--

ALEXANDRIA COUNTY, VA.
Business Transacted by the Board Of
Supervisors.

Alexandria county representation was dis
cussed at meeting of the board of super
visors at the court house, Fort Myer
Heights yesterday. The subject was brought
up by a committee from the Rosslyn board
of trade consisting of w. S. Hoge, jr., NJ.
f. Church and E. w. Stearns. Mr.. Hoge
explained to the supervisors that the board
of trade was informed that Fairfax county
had Appropriated $500 for an exhibit at
jamestown and Alexandria county has even
a larger interest to represent. He thought
the appropriation by the county should be
81 600 and one-fourth of the amount should
be expended for a map to show the river
'front.' the relation of the county to Wash
~ington, and its desirabilty for manu-
featuring sites. The board of trade. he said,
is ready to cooperate with the supervisors
in the proposed exhibit.
Mr.. Church explained that II would cost
less to gather material for the agricultural
exhibit which Fairfax county would make,
but Alexandria county with its manufactur
ing advantages ought to make more OF the
opportunity presented. Virginia counties
generally were preparing for exhibits. Many
visitors at the exposition would be from
Washington and they would have chance
to see there on the proposed map what lay
right at their door, but had been always
overlooked. He urged the necessity of
prompt action.
Commonwealth Attorney Mackey sug-
gested that relief map would be the best
and the cost less than had been proposed.
1t ought to show fully the railroad. water
transportation and manufacturing advan-
tages OF the county. He also favored print
Ing pamphlet setting forth the low taxes,
freedom from smoke law and other advan-
tages for manufacturers.
Supervisor Douglass moved, and Ii was
agreed that Messrs. Mackey, Church and
Hoge be appointed a committee to nvesti-
gate and report definitely as to character,
cost etc. of desirable Jamestown exhibit
at a special meeting of the supervisors next
Saturday night.
The problem OF paving certain streets of
Rosslyn with Belgian block, as the board of
trade Is proposing to do by subscription,
came to notice on a motion, which was
agreed to. instructing the comonwealth's at
torney to bring suit to compel the removal
of the railroad tracks from the street along
side the Rosslyn Feed Company building.
Chairman Rust of the board called atten-
ton TO Gen. Humphreys statements as to
the action of the government in paving its
part of the streets with Belgian block
A resolution of thanks to the Washington
| fire and police departments for aid at the
fire which recently destroyed Thomason's
factory and threatened number of houses
In Rosslyn was passed, and the clerk was
directed TO write letter to the Commission
Aers embodying the resolution.

GRABS POCKETBOOK.
Co1ored Man to Answer the Charge in
Police Court

While on her way home from market last
night Mrs. Maria McManus, living at 914
H street northwest. was robbed of her
pocketbook containing twenty-eight cents
The loss of her pocketbook and the small
sum of money did not bother Mrs Nc
Manus much as did the breaking of
some eggs which soiled her dress. Chas
Thompson. colored. was arrested for the
robbery and. the police say, the stolen
pocketbook was taken from him.
Mrs. McManus was near the corner of
Sth and E streets northwest when the COL
ored man appeared, and he grabbed her
pocketbook and ran south on Sth street In
the belief, possibly, that he had secured
a large sum of money. The woman who
had been robbed made an cutlery and en-
listed the services of a number of pedes-
TRANS in the chase for the fleeing colored
man. with the result that George Kennon,
a driver at No. IA engine house, caught
Thompson and delivered him to Policeman
Downe. The captive was locked up at No.
1 precinct station.
