I. & is- I- ItU BUILDING WILL GO ON THROUGH WINTER Many Important Improve ments Are Now Well Under Way, WORK 'has been delayed Labor Troubles and Scarcity of Ma- terial Had Effect Upon Early Season Rents Are Active and Broker Picks His Tenants. There is considerable building work going on about the city these days, and while most of the work Is now ncaring completion, there nre still a number of projects which are just being gotten un der way. The season has been a re markable one in many respects, and builders, real estate brokers, and me chanics have all shared in the prosper ity. Because of. the delay earlier in the year, owing to labor troubles, and of the difficulty n securing material, the vwork has been pushed during the past few months with such vigor that affairs are now in good shape Mr. Frederic B. Pyle, the architect, fcas just prepared plans for a store and apartment bouse to be erected at the southwest corner of North Capitol Street and Florida Avenue, for Dr. J. D. Cobleatz. The latter has conduct ed an apothecary shop there for a num ber of years. He owns the property, which has a frontage of 112 feet on Flor ida Avenue, and a depth of forty-eight feet. Erecting Apartment Houses. It is intended to cover the entire lot with a three-story building, which will be of light brick and stone. The corner portion will be occupied on the first floor with the drug store, while the seven rooms in the two upper stories will be used as living apartments by Dr. Cob lentz. About two-thirds of the frontage on Florida Avenue will bo used for apartments, and also the two! upper floors, which will permit of six independ ent five-room suites. As the lot extends to 'an alley on the west, it will permit of light and air around the entire build ing. Another apartment house is to be erec ted on the south side of I Street, be tween Twelfth and Thirteenth Streets northwest, for Henry Dickson. The plans were drawn by Leon E. Dessez, and pro vide for a four-story building to con tain twelve apartments. The lot has a frontage of sixty by a depth of seventy five feet, and the building will cover the entire lot. The construction will be of brick and stone, and the steps will be) of iron with marble treads. While no bids have as yet been accepted. It is Intended to put up a handsome apart ment house, which will cost between $30,000 and $33,000, Activity on Eleventh Northwest. Much activity in the building lino is of Florida Avenue northwest, which has been cut through to Whitney Avenue, Just south of North Columbia Heights. The street is now being graded and the gutters laid, and .it is expected that the railroad, which now has a terminus' at Eleventh Street and Florida Avenue, will le extended northward within eighteen months. This will be followed by many improvements. John It. Galloway &. Co., are now build ing e4ght three-story houses at the southeast corner of Eleventh and Har vard Streets northwest. The plans for these houses were drawn by B. Stanley Simmons. At Eleventh and Dartmouth Streets six other houses are under con struction. They are owned by Edwin Lar.dvolght. The houses to be built are of about the same description as0those on Columbia Heights, just to the west ward. Brokers Becoming Busy. Many of the real estate brokers have returned from vacation and are prepar ing for a busy season. As a rule they were rather late in getting away this summer on account of the continued ac tivity of the market during the early summer months. Already sonic rumored deals nave been discussed and the brokers along F Street are more con fident than ever that the fall of 1S02 will be a record-breaker. The residence or General Flagler, at 214$ California Avenue northwest, has been sold to Gen. George M. Sternberg for something over J50.000. In part pay ment General Sternberg gives the resi dence formerly occupied by him at 1019 Sixteenth Street northwest, where Col. Theodore F. Bingham has resided for some time. Mr. J. V. N. Huyck conducted the negotiations, and while the trans fer has not been placed on record. It has practically been consummated. There arc any number of rumors go ing the rounds, and within the next few weeks some interesting deals will prob ably be put through. It Is known that there are a number of out-of-town peo ple looking about for homes here and they are of that class which gives little consideration to the cost of property. Scarcity of Good Residences. There appears to be a lack of avail able residences of the better class on me market and the brokers are kept busy looking about This is rather a re markable situation, for In past years Buyers have been sought When a few more of the owners of fine residences return to the city, however, some deals will undoubtedly be made, for the sea son Is yet young. Renting continues brisk, and the heads of these departments have all they can Jo to keep their lists up to date. In fact, the demand this year has been greater than ever before, and the brokers have about reached that stage where they pick their tenant. More than one broker who has followed the market has stated that there Is ap parently no reason why any house In good condition is unoccupied at this time, if the rents are not exorbitant There is a demand for small houses, medium-sized houses, and large resi dences, and the apartment houses also continue to hold the call. Work on the new Central M. P. Church, at tho northeast corner of First Street and Rhode Island Avenue north west, is progressing rapidly, and the prospects are that it will be ready for me aeaicaiory exercises in less than two months. It has been arranged so that the Sunday school room can be thrown open and made a part ot the main auditorium. The architectural ar rangement is such that the members of the congregation seated In the Sunday school room are no farther from the pulpit than those in the main assembly hall.

ALEXAHDBIA ITEMS . OF GENERAL INTEREST Sensation Over Beating of Inez Vaughn. Woman Was Attacked by Mrs. Des mond Taken to Hospital, But In juries Not Serious. ALEXANDRIA. Va., Sept. 13. Mrs. Desmond, wife of City Councilman Wil liam Desmond, a well-known plumber, this afternoon created a big sensation by beating with a piece of lead pipe Inez Vaughn, of Washington, whom she und occupying a place at the desk of er husband's shop. As a result the Vaughn woman Is now confined at the Alexandria Hospital. Her injuries are not serious. The sensational episode has been the principal topic of conver sation on the. streets tonight It is said Mrs. Desmond had accused her husband of knowing too many other women, and that she was informed this afternoon that the Vaughn woman was at her husband's shop, 110 North St Asaph Street When Mrs. Desmond ar rived at the shop she found her husbaud standing on the sidewalk talking to a customer. She walked briskly into the shop and, seizing a large piece of lead pipe which was lying on the floor, with several well-directed blows on the head rendered the Vaughn woman uncon scious. Mrs. Desmond then left her vic tim on the floor, bleeding profusely from the wounds on her head. Policeman -Allen was called, and he ordered the woman taken to'Alcxan dria Hospital. Dr. W. It. Purvis made an examination of her injuries, and pronounced them not of a serious nature. One stitch was taken in her head. Tonight sho is resting corn- 'ortably, and it Is tnougiit sne win tie auie to leave ine nospieai in a iuw days. No arrests have been made. It Is said Mrs. Desmond endeavored to secure warrants for the Vaughn wo man and her husband, and with that purpose In view visited Chief Webster and Mayor Simpson, both of whom ad vised her that no warrant could be is sued, unless there was some substanti ated' charge. A strange story is recalled by the death yesterday of Joseph Specht, pro prietor of the famous Gunston Hp.!1, in Fairfax county, on the Potomac, the an cestral home of tho Masons of Virginia. Mr. Specht came here from St. Louis about ten years ago. He had a large fortune, which was accumulated in the clothing business In St. Louis. He spent a fabulous amount in purchasin and placing in proper condition the old Gunston estate, and the large farm ad joining, which was known as "Bevenue," the property of Mrs. Margaret Todd, of this city. The two estates combined equaled any in the State. Many happy days were spent at the famous old hall by Mr. Specht and his family. After the lapse of two years an event occurred which proved to be a dis turbing element to the happiness of Mr. Specht. A man eivln- his name as Howard appealed one day and unfolded a scheme for the establishment of the Buddhist religion at that place. His de sire was to establish a mission in the neighborhood for the encouragement of thought and btudy of the Buddhist prin ciples. It Is said that the scheme did not meet with the approval of Mr. Specht, but that his wife became Interested In Mr. Howard's plans, and a chapel was soon erected. The faith of Buddha did not take well near Gunston, and the affair proved a dismal failure. Howard was charged with fraud, and Mr. Specht took steps to prosecute him, but the man de parted with considerable haste. Mrs. Specht has In recent years been living In the West, while her husband resided by himself at Gunston Hall. He devoted most of his time and attention to elaborate and scientific fanning. He produced fancy farm products and de voted time to the Improvement of spe cial breeds of stock. He took but lit tle interest In politics, and spent most of his time at Gunston. Mr. Specht was fifty-seven years ot age, and a native of Germany. He came to this country In early life and set tled in St Louis, where he engaged in the clothing business. In that he was very successful. The remains now rest at i Gunston, but will be forwarded to St. Louis in time for interment on Hi iiinos.1 was a brief one. Death was due to paralysis. He Is survived by a widow, two sons. ,i f. rinn-htprs. His children are Rev. Joseph Alexander Specht, pastor ot Trlnlfv Eniscooal Church, of Upper Marlboro, Md.; Miss Adelaide Specht Mr. Edward Specht, and a married dauchter. JUNIOR CONGRESS MEETS.

ARREST MADE FOR THEFTS AT WASHINGTON ASYLUM Robert W. Armstrong Taken Into Cus tody, Charged With Series of Robberies. Robert W. Armstrong, twenty-three years of age, was arraigned in Police Court yesterday morning on two charges of petty larceny preferred against him by Detective Sergeants, Peck and Mil ler. The case was continued until next Monday for trial. Several weeks ago William' B.

Ad miral Bowles has recommended to tho Secretary of the Navy that the big ship bo placed out of commission at the New York Navy Yard, as he belloves that it will take about three months' time to complete the repairs. His rec ommendation will be approved. Report on the Brooklyn. The board of officers convened by Rear Admiral Coghlan to examine into the matter of the Injuries sustained by the Brooklyn has made its report to the Navy Department. The board says: "The damaged compartments an? leaking slightly. The outer bottom plating has not been rent, and It Is an easy mattor to keep the damaged com partments free from water. An exami nation indicates that the Brooklyn col lided with some very hard object, strik ing first amidship forward of the for ward knuckle of the keel, then glanc ing along in a diagonal direction. It is possible that 50 per cent of the damaged outer bottom plating may be rerolled and replaced. The entire dam age to the Brooklyn Is confined to the port side of the vessel." Few Ships for Maneuvers. Naval officers feel very badly over the outlook for the big winter maneuvers planned to take place In the waters ad jacent to Culebra Island, in the West Indies. The Brooklyn will not, of course, be able to take part, and It is hardly probable that either the New York or the San Francisco Will be-In condition to join the squadron In the Caribbean Sea. The San Francisco Is now en route to Norfolk from her former station In the Mediterranean, and Is, according to reports received at the Navy Department, In a very bad condition. The Newark, which will probably be commanded by Commander Richard Walnwright win go in com- mission about September 20, and the Wa6p and Texas arc to be commissioned before December 1. All ot these ships will probably go to the Caribbean for the winter maneuvers. A new 13-Inch gun for the forward turret of the Indiana Is now nearing completion at the gun factory at the Washington Navy Yard. For several jears the Navy Department has known that the big 13-Inch gun now on the In diana was affected by erosion, and dur ing the recent maneuvers the naval militia on board the Indiana was unable 10 uso the gun at all. As soon as thu rew gun Is completed It will he shipped lo the New York Navy Yard and mount id in place of the defective gun now aboard. A Continuation.
