JUDGE sHUMWAY BUSINESSES r
 COMPLAINT OF RAILROAD
Says Company Has No Right to
 Wharf Out On Land in Question.


 Judge M. A. Shumway has dismissed the complaint in the case of the N.sX., N. IT. & H. railroad vs. Benjamin A. Armstrong ct al. In the memorandum of decision Judge Shumway says:
 There is so little difference in the claims as to the facts in this case that it becomes almost purely a cues- ton of law as to the judgment to be rendered. It does not appear that there has been any such interference with the plaintiffs rights as to call for or justify an injunction to restrain the defendants from the present use of their own premises. held and ruled that the plaintiff has a right to ex- cluhive use and contact of that portion of Shaw's Cove now occupied by it's tracks six rods in width and adjoin- ing the premises of the defendants. The right of the plaintiff to construct and maintain it's tracks gives 1t no right to wharf out nor any right in or to the water or land outside it's lo- cation. In view of this conclusion as only remedy claimed by the plaintiff is an injunction, that remedy Is denied and the complaint is dismissed.

about Washington today. but the river
men say no damage will be done. At
high water early this morning the tidal
level was about three feet above the
ordinary Stephenson's wharf. at the
foot of 7th street southwest, used as a
landing place by the Baltimore line
steamers. was six or eight inches under
water,-b but was the only wharf flooded.
The water at Clarks. foot of 10th

the wharf. while the new oyster and
fish wharves were three or four inches
above the high water level
A number of campers who had pitched
their camps on the lower grounds on
the Virginia side of the river above
Georgetown were forced to seek higher
grounds on the hills. but no damage
was done. The water was several
inches over the sea wall about Po-
tomac Park and covered the waterside
walkway on the south side of the park.
All the lowlands on both sides Of the
river were under water. and at Alex
andria the water came up into the
river front streets for a hundred feet
or, more. but was only an inch or two
deep.
At noon today the water was reported
falling, but unless there comes a shift
in the wind. high water may be eX-
pected late this afternoon.

TO MARK REUNITED NATION.
Confederate Gathering Here in May
to Be Historic Event.

If there still exists a vestige of ILL
feeling between the north and the
south. it will be wiped out by the gath
ering of the United Confederate Veter-
ans in Washington next May, in the
opinion of William E. Mickle, adjutant
general and chief of staff of the veter-
ans organization, who has written to
the local trade bodies which took an
active part in bringing about the selec-
tion of this city for the convention. His
letter states. in part:
Tn addition to the fact that those
who fought so gallantly against the
flag in the COS are the guests of those
against whom they fought. they now
recognize it as their flag. and are ready
to do and die for it, as they were for
the stars and bars in the distant past.
We are one people, with one flag and
one aim Let the world know this"
Gen. MickIe's letter was formal ac-
ceptation of the invitation extended to
the veterans by the local trade bodies
to meet in Washington. 1t is probable
that the trade bodies and all local or
ganizations of southerners interested in
the reunion will meet jointly in the
near future and organize a citizens
executive committee to handle the re-
union.
It Is estimated that approximately
100000 visitors will be in Washington
during the reunion.
