TRACTION COMPANY WINS
FIGHT FOR HIGHER RATES
Commerce Commission Upholds Fare
Increase on Washington-Vir-
gfnia Line.

The interstate commerce commission
has made public Its order revokinz the
suspension Of the tariff schedule of the
Washington Virginia railway between
Washington and South End bridge Dis
trict Of Columbia. and the stations at
Petty, Fox. Fort Berry, Peyton, Nauck
and Green Valley. Va. and ruling that
the advance in the fare from ten to If
from twenty to twenty-five cents is justi-
fed and should be allowed to stand.
In making this decision the commits
sion refers to it's decisions in former
cases affecting the Falls Church and
the Mount Vernon lines, and by COM
pairing distances and the rate per mile
finds the advanced rate Of the railway
company TO be the same or approx
.,i,ately the same as in those cases
In concluding it's opinion the COM
mission states the defendant sells
from these stations a family ticket,
good for three months and for twenty
FIVE trips during the month. for $50.
and q nifty -two-trip Communication ticket
for S2.eO
The tariff provides that these tickets,
which are good to the south end OF either
the Aqueduct bridge or the Highway
bridge, may be used upon the line OF the
railway company to the terminal at 18th
street. in connection with District of
Columbia street railway ticket. Since
these tickets can be purchased six for .
cents a resident at any OF these points
in question can by buying a family twen-
ty-fve-trip ticket secure passage between
his station and the terminal for 10 1-6
cents. and by purchasing fifty-two-trip
communication ticket for D lie cents.
THE prices. named for family and conf
mutation tickets are those given in the
tariff under suspension, and are In both
cases reductions from the rates now In
force, 30 that as applied to the entire
business between these stations and the
city Of Warrington the result OF this
suspended tariff Is probably to cheaper,
rather than enhance. the cost of trans
portation."

plume is now kept and used over and

4. The present state laws vary. and the
present conditions of the trade are most
unequal. A number of states prohibit
sale of aigrettes and other plumage, and
with the growing feeling against the use
laws will constantly be extended to other
states and will be more and more rigidly
enforced Many dealers in millinery
goods are involved in continual warfare
with the authorities. and the business
though naturally a perfectly Legitimate

upon both the business and those en-

are honest and should be glad to have
their business placed above suspicion and

MISS Perrin TO RECEIVE
ACCUMULATED INCOME.
Justice Barnard Decides She
Is Entitled Immediately
to $88,081.D.

Margaret May Perrin, eighteen years old
sole heir at law Of her father. Clifford
Perrin, first husband of Mrs Howard. is
| entitled to receive SIS, O61 80 accumulated
income from her fathers estate at once.
A decision to this effect has been rem
the will of Mr.. Perrin.
The court also finds that the young
woman may receive the money direct
from the trustee Of the estate, and it is
not necessary that it be paid over to her
mother who is her guardian. Hence
forth Miss Perrin will be entitled annually
to the income from the estate, valued at
$4,000 for life.
The wording of the will of Mr.. Perrin
left some doubt as to his intention in
regard to the accumulation of income be-
fore his daughter reached the age of
! eighteen years. Frank L. Perrin. trustee
of the estate, brought suit against Miss
Perrin for an Interpretation of the instru-
ment.
Asks Court for Interpretation.
He asked the court to decide il Miss
ton, now that she has reached age of
to be added to the corpus Of the estate
and the daughter paid the future income
on the total
He also pointed out that the young
woman was still minor under the Dis
trict law and asked If payment should
not be made to a guardian.
In his opinion Justice Barnard says:
THE court Is unable to see any att
thority in the will for adding the income
which may accrue to the corpus of the
estate rs 1T was at the date of the
death OF the testator to the principal
estate, thereby increasing the corpus;
and must therefore hold that the daugh-
ter was intended by her fathers will to
receive in her own right all the income
of his estate that accumulated after
his death.
Code Sustains Her Right.
The right Of Miss Perrin to receive the
income directly Is sustained, the court
says, by the section Of the code which
allows requests OF personal property to
be paid to female ION her arriving at
age of eighteen years or being married .
Attorneys r. Ross Perry & Son rep
resented the trustee. Attorney J. j.
Darlington appeared for Miss Perrin.

High Level Must Be Reached.

During the big food of 1889 the water
at Harpers Ferry was oyer thirty feet
above the ordinary level, but it is thought
that a higher level than this would now
have to be reached in the upper river
before there would be any serious dan
ger of flood here. Owing to the deep
eTling Of the river channels since 1883
a larger volume of water can pass down
the river and to the sea.
Should long period of easterly winds
and a freshet from the upper river
come at the same time there might be
some danger of the water being backed
up and causing trouble, but this is a
condition that is not likely to occur, say
river men.
