SSSSGSSS3SGQ C.VNXOT ATTACH THE RAILROAD. Attorney General McCorinickSo De cided for the Reading; Company. Harrlsburg, Pa., Jan. 2. This evening Attorney General McCormick decided that the commonwealth of Pennsylvania cannot now successfully attack the chattered rights or the Reading Company, at least the rights of such a nature and character as has been exercised by the corporation prior to January 1 , 1874. It had power to do the business in which it was engaged prior to the adoption of the new constitu tion. Whether the other grants of special privileges of the varied kind set forth in the charter continued after January 1, 1 874, is a question that may be determined hereafter when the occasionarises. The attorney general concludes as fol lows: "My view of the whole matter is that the charter of the company authorized it o do the kind of business in which it en gaged prior to January 1 ,1874, which busi ness was of the same general character as that in which it proposes to engage for the purpose of controlling the Mocks of the railway company and the coal and iron company. The wisdom of the framer or the -constitution of 1874 In denying to the legis lature the power to grant special charters becomes painfully apparent in the con sideration of the manifold powers granted by the charter of the ReadlngCompany.and the only consolation of the present genera tion is that they are not responsible for It."

GIL II!! 5 JUSTICE Brings Suitin Conrt for Certain City Lots.'-J STRANGE STORY IS- TOLD Old air. and Mrs. Piper Adopted Hiiii and He "Was to Care for The m DnriiiR the Remainder of Their-, Lives In Return Ho "Wuh to Jlave the Property. Anna V. Whitney and Richard II. Plper and George Moore are made the defendants in a bill or equity filed yesterday by E. B.k Hay for the declaring ofa trust on lo;s 130, 140, 141, square 103. ; In 1887 Piper mid his wife tqrt Chicago, and came to Washington purluant to arrangement made with Mr. Hay that he' was to take care of them for the rest of their lives. The couple were very aged. They In return agreed to give to him at their death the property In question. Co!. Hay claims that as early as Jan uary, 188G, Mr. and Mrs. Piper executed, a will conveying all their property to him except about $500 of minor legacies. It is further recited that the old people even went so far as to adopt Col. Hay and treat him as their son. To further carry' out his agreement the Colonel says he began, the construction of a house on the lots mentioned. Part of the cost came out of his pocket. The First Will. In 1888 the dwelling was completed and occupied by Mr. and Mrs .Piper and Mr." and Mrs. Hay. The same jear Mr. Piper executed a will in which thq.ni operty was"' devised to Col. Hay in trusC.for Mrs. "Piper at whose death, however, hVwas to go to the romplainant. The relations between" all were most pleasant, recites the pe;f tttlon. Mr. and Mrs. Piper continued In rood health until August, 1892, when they went to Saratoga Springs, where the old. lady died, after a brief illness. In another will, said to have been mnde after Airs. Piper's death, It IS claimed that the old gentleman ngain arranged for his property to go to his adopted son. The bereaved husband, however, changed his mind and refused to return to Wash ington. Col. Hay sajs that thereupon he left him in the care of the best medical attendance and trained nurses, the old man promising to come back to this city after a fortnight. The petitioner then charges that a cer tain G. 8. Thomas, or Chicago, a business agent, came to Saratoga and took the enfeebled Mr. Piper to Thomas' home In the Windy City. It is asserted that while there in a disturbed state of mind and under the influence and coercion of Thomas, the old man was induced to make a deed of his property to a certain George Moore In trust. This deed, it is claimed, has been set aside by the circuit court or Cook county, III. The alleged deed in cludes not only the Washington real es tate ment'ont'd, but ulto considerable Chi cago realty. It was about this time that Mrs. Whit ney asppeared. She Is a niece of old Mr. Piper, and In June of 1806, came to Washington In search of her uncle. She thought he was still in the care or Col. Hay, but was much surprised to learn that her i dative was under restraint in Chicago. She learned this after a con sultation with Col. Hay, who now says that Mrs. Whitney went to Chicago and assuming charge or Mr. Piper carried him to her home in Newport, Maine. She gave out that her uncle's visit was for the summer only. Off in Europe. Time passed away and as everyone knows, the colonel went to Europe. It was during his absence that further mis chief is said to have been committed. During that time a deed was made by Mr riper conveying his Washington prop erty to Mrs. Whitney. ".Vot since he left Washington," re-. clto the bill, "have the apartments or Mr. Piper in the Joint home been dis turbed." The petitioner recites that he has "faithfully performed his obligation to the deceased woman and stands ready to continue the aire and maintenance of the living husband." ne explains that ho has paid the taxes on the real estate in controversy, and be side contributing to the cost of the house has kept it In repair. The court is asked to construe the conveyance to Mrs. Whit ney as a trust in favor of Mr. Hay and.to prevent the niece rrom sdllng or encum bering the property. BROKE MATTHEWS ARAL John "Wood Struck nim "With an Iron Bar. George Matthews of No. 1222 Congress street was taken to Emergency Hospital with a broken arm last night, while John Wood, his assailant, was locked up at the Ninth street station-house, under a charge of assault with intent to kill. Both men are colored. Wood drives a baggage wagon, while Matthews was his assistant. The men quaireled on the way home last night and Matthews jumped from his seaton the wagon as they neared New Jersey avenue and II streets. Wood grabbed an iron bar from under the seat and dealt him a blow on the right arm that shattered the bone above the wrist. The injured man started to run and his assailant gave chase. Wood escaped arrest at the time, but was captured a Tew hours later. Waon and llugwy Smashed. A horse attached to a delivery wagon owned by Mrs. Catharine Batters, a grocer at No. 1846 Thirteenth street northwest, took fright at a bicycle yesterday and ran away.

More than, ever before has. the Pension Bureau Building been prominently before the public In connection withrthc inaugural ball. ... The discussion as to whether the ball should be held there or lii the new Library Building drew the attention or every one and the" decision riveted it. Then the great court will lose its or ficlal stamp, and be' robed In the national' emblem, and decorated by the skill or artthts and florists. The walls, which if' endowed with speech, could unravel mysteries, and tell tales or sadness, con nectedwith the soldier's life, will on the 4th or March; echo to the music of Marine Band waltzes and jthe sweet voices of the queens of American society, who will be gathered there. , The first lady of the land will enter on the arm of the newly-inaugurated Presi- dent or the United States. The members or the President's official family will follow. In their train will bo the diplo matic corps, headed by the Uritish am bassador. Sir Julian Pauncefote, and the Army and Navy, in full uniform, will be largely represented. It will be tiie second great event of the day.- The Marine Band, stationed on the raised balcony and partially concealed by u bower or pulms will fill the air with enchanting music, national airs being first favorites. The fragrance of flowers will permeate the air. The sweet-scented violets and the rull-blown rose will repose in artistic beauty against the background or Terns and pulms, and beautiful women, robed in imported gowns, will make the scene one ot dazzling beauty. But, after all, the glory of the Pension Bureau Is more In the everyday lire lived within its unadorned "walls the picture which does not appeal to the artistic eyo but to the sympathies or the heart. Under its care. Tails the widow and the children or the soldier. Reward and not charity best describes its mission. During a recent visit through the East I heard murmurings or dissatlsraction be- Hon. Dominic I. Murphy. cause of the refusal of pensions; but while ltlsa grantedfoct that some deserving ones arc passed by, they- are certainly the ex ception and not tle rule, and It is to the credit or the bureau that careful investiga tions are made and only the deserving, as a general rule, posers abused patriots. This briims me t,o say tliut the present Commissioner or Pensions Is a man pts sessing keen insight and rare discretion. He is most assuredly a true friend; ot the soldier. No commissioner has ever been more Impartial In'1 the, work before him than the Hon. Doiriinlc J. Murphy. Having been a j clerk in the Pension Bureau for many years, and latterly called to be chief clerk .and first deputy before assuming charge tjf the bureau, he wus naturally conversant with the work in its complicated phases, and his long experi ence tmd Judicious action have placed him in an enviable position as the head or tlw office which he now holds. Mr. Murphy Is a broad-minded man, and in no wise has he changed since being promoted above his fellow-clerks. The -oases presented, before him are as varied as the numbers themselves. Sym pathy, judiciously exercised, is wisdom The orphaned child, with no knowledge or the requirements of the law must be dealt with as well as the shrewd fraud. No man has ever done more to secure justice to claimants, and his ordors regarding the procedure of the office have been marked by a determination to simplify the work of adjudicating the big mass of cases and to minimize delays and errors. Most of the Important orders promul gated during the present administration have been largely the fruit- of his pains taking deliberation. And since his own Installation as Commissioner ho has car ried out this policy of abolishing red tape and complicated methods. The latest or ders as to procedure in the bureau Indi cate Iiis strong and unyielding views on this line. He lias taken up the question of having cases berore the board or review passed upon by three or rour examiners, and, convinced that this olupractlce only serves to delay and to confuse responsibility for mistakes, he has reduced Ihe" number through whom such pupers must pass to two. A similar purpose was In view when he decided that" "all claims for "in crease of pension, "except in case or ex-, traordinary circumstances, Instead of being switched hither and yon to branches or the orftco to which they did not belong, are now sent direct to the medical division. This is done on the ground that such cases only Involve medical action. This order alone has saved a material amount or time. These are only specimens of rules that have been made by Commissioner Murphy to govern the .operations of Uncle Sam's Pension Bureau, and which have been of the greatest henefit to claimants and pen sioners throughout the country. No other commissioner has brought upon hlmseir more favorable comment, and that Mr. Mtn-phy's popularity is unlimited by, party or creea is attested uy un immense circle of Triends, not only In Washington but in other cities as- well, and by the Tact that bis nomination whs p'Poniptly confirmed without opposition.

IHA wmiuk THE Nutshell notes that the committee on street decorations for our coming inauguration have advised the dtl zens to encourage patriotism, even to the pasting of a paper riag on the panes or their show windows. How can one feel patriotic, when looking upon an imprisoned flag lying like u dead thing against a window glass stripped of its rights to wayo with a backing or glue A flag to arouse reeling or patriotism must wave. It must be free to catch the breeze and from its motion Inspire in us the inde pendent thoughts or a Tree but united nation. Whore is there a soldier in time or battle who lets his flag be silent? Has It not, when held nlottr and waved before famished, travel-worn soldiers renewed their hopes and spurned them on to further action that saved a battle at a critical moment? The instant a flag 1b shackled its rights .are gone, its life Is taken from It. Let's have the decorations for our coming 4th a delightful contrast to tho usual displays of " widowed" effects In bunting of piping, folds, and kilt pleating with the hearse-like rosettes that find their way in as a stop-off and peer out like a big eye at the strangers In town. Give us -plenty or flags. Let the emblem of our nation wave boldly and fearlessly upon our city. Let It wave in God's free air, an emblem of our strength and freedom, and don't disgrace Its patriotism by the mucilage on its back.

The largest audience of the season at tended the basketball game at the Infantry Armory last night, and saw the home team defeat the Carroll Institute In the most exciting, as well as the worst exhibition or the game in the present series. The feeling which has long since existed between the teams wrought itself up to a pitch In this game, which the players and the spectators will not soon forget Officials and spectators who overheard the threats and remarks before and during the contest blame the visiting team for starting the trouble, and as each side had a large following the real blame must re main where this- or that adherent places It It was a most" unfortunate occurrence and bad feeling was shown on both sides. One thing is.certain, that the hitting and Injuring of an innocent spectator by a visiting player was as uncalled for as It was cowardly and unworthy of the action ot a gentlemau supposed to tie playing In an amateur game. While only a few of the players on each team were guilty or hard playing, the ruli teams must not be blamed. For the Car rolls, Roach, Berbenck and Moss play.-d a good, clean, and open game tliioughoac When the teams got down to the play ing of the game, it had many redeeming features, and a number of brilliant plays were made. The noil made by Jesse Schafhirt in the third Inning was due to a pretty play on a double pass by lie Calhran, and both players were applauded. Daly's throw fiom field was ode or the longest ever made in a game and deserved the applause it received. NShreeve's groat overhead throw, lauding in the basket, was remarkable, and has never been mude before In this league. The infantry scored five times in the first inning and virtually won the game there, it did not score in the second, but clinched the game In the third on another goal, and after this play with still six minutes to finish up the inning, the Car rolls were ordered ofr the field -by their manager, and thereupon the umpire award- ded the game on a forfeit to the Infantry by a score of 1 to 0. Much or the trouble must be attributed to the fact that the unruly players of both sides were not put out of the game Instead of simply warning them. Tills was the last game scheduled to be played between these teams. The first 1 resulted in a tic, and the winning of last night's game puts the Infantry in a po sition r.f feeling that It may again land the championship. Following Is the lino up and score: W. L. I.

PEACE MONUMENT HONORED Evergreen and Immortelles for the Memorial to Heroism Crowds Must Be Tinder Cover Special Accommodations for East Capitol Esplanade. The committee on parks and reservations at a meeting yesterday afternoon resolved that the Peace Monument shall be an ad ditional monument to the fact that the Inaugural committees will not "seek the almighty dollar In all preserves." The Peace Monument will be kept free from business ventures. Nootand will be permitted to desecrate It. On the con trary It will be surrounded by a railing to bo decorated with evergreens and im mortelles, after the bcautlfulFreuch fashion of adorning such monuments in times of public fetes. The Peace Monument, as is known to Washlngtonlans, Is a memorial to the heroism or the men whe preserved the Union. Another Innovation of the committee is to permit the erection of two stands on the east esplanade or the Capitol, from which a definite number of people at least may see what Is going on. The others will merely be in the push, and it it Is a. fair day the women might just as well take along their cycle pumps to-keep their balloon sleeves afloat. This was not ofhclally discussed at the meeting, but will probably be indorsed as a good suggestion by Chairman Wlllard. Mr. Willard presided, Mr. Samuel W. Curriden being secretary. The committee had a great many matters of business be rore it, and had a long and Interesting session. Plans Tor programs and stands were submitted. There was another Innovation decided upon. Contractors will be obliged to cover the street stands so that in case or rain there will not be a panic In the rush to cover, as they saj at Chevy Chase. Resolutions Passed. The following resolutions were passed: "Resolved, That It is the stnse of this committee that while retaining control of the reservation around Peace Monument It shall not be used for stands, but that itbedecorated by thecornmitteeon decora tion ii tome suitable manner. "Resolved, That bids for the privilege to print the official programs be adver tised for in the same manner as bids for other privileges under the auspices of this committee. "Resolved, That bids for the exclnsive privilege of photographing the Interior or the Inauguration ball-room and Its decora tion be advertised for." Some very attractive designs Tor the cover or the official programs have been submitted, among them that of Mr. W. J. Marsh. The rental for grand stands along the route or parade has been raised with reference to previous inaugurations. The committee yesterday fixed the loeatioas und prices Tor thesame as follows: No. 1, at Lafayette Square, $411. No. 2, at Fourteenth street and Penn sylvania avenue, $280.
