The IncreaslnR umount of foreign mat
ter received with rrirbagre collections Is
tlic subject of n complaint ille ei with the
Co iimlsslont rs bj the Washlngton ler
tlllzlrB Company the concern nhlch has
the citv contract for the removal or jrar
lufre from the District Hie complaint
Is vockI In two letters one rrcm the pres
Iilcnt of the compan M SI larker and
the second from A J Sloree superinten
dent of the Garbage cremators
Ureiken shells tin cans crab shells and
other foreign matter is what the objection
is aimed at and Sir larker clilms that
it costs the comptny about fcfWd per an
num for extra help to remove this foreign
matter besides extense damage to press
cloths in the factor een e ereitcr loss
to the company Sir Slorse says
I bejr to agtin call vuur attention to
the large amount of fongn matter which
is dally received with the Washington
garbage uch as tin can broken crock
ery clam -hells glass and Indeed almost-
every other species of refuse mat
ter The service of two men hac been
almost constant used nt the factor en
deavoring to separate this refuse beTore
It gets into the digestors It is Impossi
ble however to fully accomplish this
and mucli of the glass crockery and
other substances gets into our presses
which as ou well know ruins our
cloths and destrovs our press racks Ihe
expense in connection with this is con
ctantly growing and becoming a very seri
ous matter A mule and cart is kept busy
carting anaj the cans and already It is a
matter of considerable moment what dis
position we sh ill be able to make of this
refuse
I have been told that in Baltimore the i
collector will not remove garbage that
has these foreign substances mixed up
with it
arner Stutler the Superintendent of
Three additional letters protesting J
against uie proposea cnange oi names xor
suburban streets have been received by the
District Commissioners One communica
tion written by Bear Admiral Thomas
Selfridge U S IS is addressed from
Jamestown R I where he now is His
letter follows
I have been informed that it Is con
templated by you to change the name
Kalorama Avenue on the corner of
which and Columbia Road I have erected
on expensive residence to Yates Street
If I am correct I wish to make an earn
est protest against such change The pres
ent name has been in use for a long time
and a change would produce confusion
of location
Kalorama is an Indian name long
applied to the locality where the avenue
ln question is found of euphonious sound
and well adapted for a long and impor
tant avenue like the one in question con
necting Eighteenth Street and Massachu
setts Avenue On the other hand the
name Tatts Is insignificant and has no
local significance nor historical to my
knowledge
If the name must be changed though
I know of no good reason for such agi
tation let it be after one cf the States
or Territories not already applied
The second letter is from T A Whlt
tlnjton 2 Quincy Street transmitting an
enclosed petition representing fifteen
heads of family and others residing on
Quincy Street protesting against the pro-
fosed change of the name of that street
o Qulnn Place Sir Whlttington says
that if the change can be prev ented by the
Commissioners the petitioners will be
under lasting obligations
The third letter is an extensive com
munication from Francis SL Cox en
caged in the legal profession at 416 41
Fifth Street and an extensive owner or
Ecklngton real estate who submits his
views regarding the proposed nomencla
ture of streets in sub divisions in the
northeastern and northwestern sections
of the District He says
Being the owner of improved real es
tate at the corner of Fourth and V Streets
northeast In the Eub divlsion known as
Centre Ecklngton I beg leave to submit
very briefly some views I have regarding
the proposed nomenclature of streets as
set forth in the recent report of the As
sistant Computing Engineer
Sly suggestions relate exclusively to
Eub eliv isions in the northeastern and
northwestern sections within the original
alphabet of the city but outside of Hon
da Avenue such as Ecklngton Centre
Kckington and Bioomlngdale and le
Drolt Park and I express the views of
some other property owners of those sub
divisions as well as my own
Florida Avenue which originally form
ed the northeastern boundary of the city
takes a southeasterly direction thus bt
rectlnej a number of the lettered streets in
the northwesterly and northeasterly sec
tions of the city from V btreet north
west to F or O Streets northeast
By the proposed plan of nomenclature
it is proposed to change the names of all
these streets from the crossing or Flori
da Avenue eastward W btreet becoming
Wirt V changing to Vail U to Uhl and
to on The effect of this will unquestion
ably be not only to perpetuate Florida
Avenue as the original boundary or the
city in conflict with the spirit of recent
end contemporary legislation but to cre
ate and Increase rather than reduce con
lunlon In the asccrtainrrent of localities
It will also in the opinion of real estato
men of this section In which 1 fully con
cur tend to Impair the value of real es
tate in these sub divisions and thus oper
ate as an unfair discrimination against
them The fact of being within the origi
nal alphabet of the citv hau been deemed
to be and doubtless is an element of
to property In these favored loca
tions but this fact will no longer be seir
evident after tho proposed nomenclature
has been adopted
It must appear to your honorable
Board upon the merest inspection of the
plan of proposed alteration that there
will be a considerable element of confu
sion and Incongruity to a stranger who
starts out for a drive along that fash
ionable thoroughfare of the northwestern
ection of the city known as Q Street to
find himself suddenly in Quarrel Street
The only explanation that can be given
him is that he has crossed the original
boundary line of u century ago and is now
among what the old Bomans termed the
outside barbarians
I have buen made aware of the fact
through the courtesy of Captain New
comer Assistant Engineer Commissioner
In a pleasant interview I had with him
that It is the hope and expectation of Our
honorable Board ultimately to remove
this incongruity of nomenclature by the
application of the same monosyllabic
names to all the streets of the original
city But this hope and expectation Is
based solely on the further hope and ex
pectation of obtaining the necessary pow
er through the legislation of Congress
and may be long deferred
The practical point of my contention
Is whether it is not better to suspend the
exercise of the authority supposed to be
derived from the act of 1503 in respect of
these sub divisions above referred to
which are already within the original al
phabet of the city until such time as
Congress shall have conferred the au
thority to deal uniformly with the whole
section covered by the original alphabet
Captain Newcomer I thought ap
peared tn our talk to regard this point ns
not without force and 1 hopo Unit your
honorable Board may upon mature con
sideration be convinced of the propriity
of modifying the proposed plan forvthe
present to the extent indicated
J T lettv the Auditor to whom the
matter was referred his reported an ad
verse recommendation upon the claim of
Sirs Amelia A Sparks nee Bliss for
compensation alleged to be due to her
father the late C H Bliss as n street
cleaning contractor for the District In
her letter presenting the claim Sirs
Sparks states that she is under the Im
pression that money is due her father for
work done as street cleaning contractor
She sajs that her father was the first
one to have the contract for cleaning the
streets of Washington somewhere near
the date of 1SG5 cr ISTe
The record show Sir Petty sas
that Sir C II Hllss never held a con
tract under the consolidated govtrnment
ir the District of Columbin nor do I find
my- trace of u contract between him nnd
either of the late corporations of the Dis
trict I do lind however lint he held
the ofiice of Surveor of the lite eor
poratlon of Washington for tie fiscal
venrs ending June 91 ISIS and June 30
143 respectively I also find that he way
paid various sums at different times under
a municipal appropriation for removal of
nuisnnces I find similar entries in con
nection with the uecounts of -William
Korsth and P II Donegan also former
Surveyors of Washington which Indicate
that the service was rendered In con
nection with the surveorshlp and not In
th jenp iclty of contractors
In view of these facts I am of the
opinion that there Is no foundation for
the claim that compensation is due to
the late C H BHs for an uncompleted
contract with the District of Columbia
or either of the corporations which ante
dated the establishment of the present
form of government
Propoanls hae been submitted to the
District CommipMoner for the painting

Prompt work on the part of Captain
Boardman and his detectives esterday
resulted in the arrest n Philadelphia of
an alleged diamond thief nnd the recovery
of the stolen property valued at over
10 It was all accomplished within
seven hours niter the robbery is supposed
to have been committed
The man under arrest is Kid Farrell

that no foreign matter shall be placed
with the garbage and also that the gar
bage collector can refuse to collect gar
bage under such conditions The regu
lations also provide for the placing of
refuse matter such as mentioned in the
letter of Sir Slorse in separate recepta
cles even from ashes The collector of
ashes takes away this refuse in sacks
and it e etlsposeei of in an entirely dif
ferent manner than the nshes
What action will be taken to enforce
the regulations in view of the complaint
has not yet been determined on by the
Commissioners
Detective Sergeants Home and Flather
have gone to Philadelphia to appear
against Farrell who will later be brought
back to this city in the custody of a
United States marshal
Brophy first met Tarrell about six weeks
ago while the former was riding on tile
race tracks around Cincinnati Farrell
appeared to have plenty of money and
whenever Brophy thought that he had a
winning mount he tipped off the fact
to his new friend After returning to his
home in this city Brophy again found
Farrell about the SUriboro and Brght
wood race tracks Farrell had a toom at
Ninth and P Streets northwest but told
Brophy that he was in hard luck and
for several nights was provided with
sleeping accommodations at the colored
mans home
Triday night It is said Farrell sat
up in a chair all night and early
esterday morning it is charged se
cured the key to a trunk from Bro
phys pocket and opening the trunk se
cured J309 In cash a diamond combination
pin and stud valued at 1275 a charm set
with two diamonds and two bapphlres
valued at JS a ladys solitaire diimond
brooch valued at 1115 a gold hunting case
I watch valued at r50 a gold chain worth
tie and a razor worth J350
Brophy missed his companion when he
awoke about 6 SU oclock this morning and
on looking around discovered his loss He
visited Farrell s room on Ninth btreet
but Farrell had left about ten minutes
beforehand
The matter was reported to the police
and Detective Reynolds ascertained that
Farrell had bought a ticket at the Pmn
slvania Depot and taken the northbound
9 oclock train Shortly afterward Bro
phy received a message from Farrell who
instructed the messenger to say that a
colored boy gave him the message The
message was to the effect that Farrell
had been arrested by two New York de
tectives and was being taken back to that
city Telephone messages were Immedi
ately sent to the police of Baltimore
Philadelphia and New York and Brophy
accompanied Detective Sergeant Flather
to Baltimore where it was thought
Fnrrell might be found Brophy had in
tended going to Fredericksburg va es
terday to ride in the races there but was
unable to do so
Before leiving the city Detective ber
geant Flather recovered the ladys dia
mond brooch in a pawn shop where It
had been pawned for J35 and took it to
Police Headquarters Brophy told the d
tectives that Farrell had often spoken to
him of a certain house on Josephine Street
in Baltimore and it was believed that
the fugitive might go there When the
train which loft Washington at oclock
cstcrday morning over the Pennsylvania
Kailroad pulled into Pniladelphia It was
boarded bv a detective from that city
who located Farrell and placed him under
arrest When searched at the police sta
tion all of the missing property ws
found upon him and the racts were im
mediately telegraphed to Captain Board
man In this city
Detective Sergeant Home was sent over
to tho Police Court to swear out a war
rant for the man and left the city on the
3 oclock train over the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad for Philadelphia to appear
against Farrell in the preliminary hearing
before the United States commissioner
He was Joined at Baltimore by Detective
Sergeant Fiatner anu uropny wno was
much elated at the prospect of a quick
return of his valuables The detectives
will return to the city tomorrow prob
ably but It may be several days before
the prisoner Is brought back

The autopsy at the morgue yesterday
upon the body of Mlnena Bustln a col
ored worran about forty five years old
revealed the cause of death to be tuber
cular meningilU While at Freedmans
Hospital before death the woman stated
that her husband had Mruck her upon
the head nnd that she had suffered from
the blow ever since It was to settle the
direct cause of death that the autopsy
was made
Tho case attracted considerable atten
tion for a time ns the womans statement
seemed to Indicate assault and possibly
murder The sheriff of Hanover County
Va where the supposed assault was said
to have been committed has Ignored the
telegraphic request of Captain Boardman
that the circumstances be Investigated
Mrs Itustln came to Washington about
two weeks ago with her stepdaughter
Annie and secured a room at Gil New
Hampshire Avenue northwest Last Tues
day she became very 111 and when the
was removed to Treedmans Hospital in
the evening she had relapsed Into un
consciousness The following evening she
nppareatly regained the use of her men
tal facilities and in a lucid interval told
the phvticlan in charge that he had been
hit on the head by her husband After
that she again sank Into a state of coma
and died Thursday morning
The hospitul authorities at once notified
the police oflicl iIb and the Coroner di
rected that the body be removed to the
morgue The detectives learned that
Mrs Bustln was from Old Church PohI
oftlce Hanover County Va nnd that her
husband had never been in this clt Cap
tain Boardman then teleirraphid the facts
in the case to the sheriff of the county
with the request that he immediate ad
vise the Washington authorities ns to
particulars of the affair
Two days have elapsed but nothing
has yet been heard from the sheriff nnd
yesterday nn autopsy was performed upon
the body by Acting Coroner Glazebrook
with the result previously stated It hav
ing thus been bhown that death was not
due to violence but to natural causes the
case was abandoned by the police and the
