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."

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.

Pcnsiou Bureau and the Work It
Uas to Do.
3few Coumii.SH.'oner Has Been Able
to Make a Great Record in u
Short Time.
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

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

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.

IT WAS INFANTRY'S GAME.
"Won Tt Fairly, Hut Were Also Given
"It on Forfeit.
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.

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.
No. 3, Tlilrteenth street and the Avenue,

No. 7, Hancock statue, $370.50.

"I believe I saw you coming out of a
rum shop this afternoon," said the Rev.
Mr. Wllgus.
"I guess you did," said the parishioner.
