EICHAR A BARRY, Propa. Southwest Section Once Part of Mall Reservation. THIRTY YEARS ON MARKET Finally Divided Into Squares and Disposed of in Parcels. FORMER OWNERS OF PROPERTY Distinguished Men Who Have Held in Course of Century. That part of the city in the lines of Maine avenue, 3d, 6th and streets southwest was not, in the plan of Enfant, designed for building purposes.

It fell within the lines of reservation two. or the Mall, the south line of which, from the Capitol grounds, was Maryland avenue to its intersection with south street. Consequently was a triangular strip made by the lines of Maryland avenue, 6th streets, known as "square N. W. 492," which was platted Into two lots.

For thirty years it was on the market. This condition was brought about through the change or reclamation or swamp lands by altering the course ot the old Washington city canal. Prior to 1800 the Tiber, whose waters were afterward confined by the walls of the canal in what is now square west of 3d street and south of Maine avenue, united with those of Saint James' creek, flowing southward. That portion northeastward by was known as Goose creek, though tilie main stream of the Tiber. Mucli of the ground was marshy along the streams, and in this section a veritable quagmire.

These conditions were known to gress when the capital was located here, tor by the act of 1790 for establishing the government here a canal was au" thorized. In 1796, under an act of Maryland, a company was formed for the purpose. but did not build it. Congress in 1802 repealed the authority for opening a canal, but in February, 1809, incorporated a company for the purpose. The canal was constructed, and in 1816 it formed an artery of trade from the Potomac to the Eastern branch.

In 1822. to better drain and reclaim the ground embraced in this section, as also north of the Mall, Congress authorized the Corporation of Washington to contract with the canal company to change the course of the canal; and among other things to lay offT the two squares now in the lines of Maine and Maryland avenues, 3d and 6th streets, known as squares and D. In thlB way the Mall was contracted, two squares added and a small one obliterated on the maps of the city. nils portion of the city's domain was in the Burnes tract when the government took title: and the squares were N. W.

492. 493. 634 and 633. As may be Inferred from the above, prior to 1K40 there was little development, and then It was on Maryland avenue that settlement came. In 1S02 the corporation valuation of ground was fixed at 3 cents in the square on Maryland avenue between and 6th streets, and 2 cents In the others; but in four years a uniform rate of 1 cent was fixed and prevailed many years, reaching 3 to cents about 1830.

Until 1820 there were no Improvements listed. Ownership of Property. The square absorbed in square known as N. W. 492, was in 1796 divided, Mr.

Carroll taking the west lot and the United States the other. In 1798 Samuel Elliot, had the latter, which four years" later was bought by Robert Kidd. In 1828 William A. Bradley succeeded, the next year buying: the remaining lot. In 1840, the new squares and having been platted, Mr.

Bradley acquired title In the latter for his holdings in the lost square. Square 492, between Maryland avenue, 6th and streets, was platted for fourteen lots; and in 1796 division was made with Mr. Carroll. In 1801 Gen. Van Ness had four lots on street.

Not till 1833 was another transfer made, when John P. Pepper had lot 9 on Maryland avenue, and S. P. Franklin and W. B.

Kibbey each had portions the same year. Thomas C. Wilson two years later was on this lot. In 1838 W. A.

Bradley bought lots 7, 8. 10 and 11, adjoining, and in the following year Andrew Coyle and Seth J- Todd were on lot 12, on wrhich was E. Handy in 1841. There had been a subdivision of lots in the northeast part of the square of over a dozen sublots by D. D.

Arden in 1818. R. and C. Barnhouse in 1842 bought in this subdivision. The same year Nicholas L.

yueen had the three lots In the southeast corner of the square, G. C. Grammer the lot north on 4M. street, and J. Kedgller lot 10 and Richard Polkinhorn lot 9 on Maryland avenue.

In the thirties there had been improved lots 8 and 9 on Maryland avenue near 6th street, the brick house on the first assessed to J. II. Carroll for 51,000. and in the second to D. D.

Arden for 11,200. Patrick Naddy was then living at the corner of Maryland avenue and 4V? street. In the forties there were here Charles Bradley, long known as a bank officer; Peter M. Pearson, long engaged in the lumber business, many years a school trustee and alderman, of internal revenue and prominent In the local affairs of the community; Henry Lee and James Espey, cabinet makers, long in the undertaking business on Pennsylvania avenue, now represented by J. Wm.

Richard and Caleb Barnhouse. carpenters and builders; Joseph l.afontalne, Benjamin S. Kinsev, leather dealer; John West, Wm. Thompson, Mrs. Quigley's tavern.

F. F. Stoeck. grocer, at the corner of street, and some others. On 4Vi street were William Wise, one of the oldest, best known and most useful citizens of South Washington, a ward commissioner and contractor: G.

Heide, a school teacher; William Joy, cabinet maker, and James IJUleton. Gen. Van Ness an Owner. The square south 19::, north of street and Virginia avenue, of fifteen lots, in 1796 was apportioned with Mr. Carroll.

In 1799 Gov. Mercer of Maryland bought lot 6 on Virginia avenue. Gen. Van Ness bought a lot adjoining and two on street, and B. Bell leased one on street.

In 1830 Charles Bezat was In possession of the southwest part of the square, using it for gardening purposes. He was the gardener to the President at the time. There was on it a small building assessed for $100. Richard Barry owned the lot at and 4V3 streets in 1828. A $150 building was shortly after upon it.

At this time a building Is listed at to J. H. Carroll on lot 3. and Matilda Arnold has lot 2. Some minor improvements also appeared on lots 12 and 13, on street, charged $75, to Mary Evans, and two of each to Dyson.

In 1832 lot 15, on 4V4 street, was in the name of Michael Sardo, and tfce next year John Douglass has lot 11. on street. In 1834 John bought lot 6, on Virginia avenue, and Charles Polkinhorn lot 3, on street, on which was built the frame church of the Old School Baptists. This was called the Shlloh Church, and though the congregation for whom Mr. Polkinhorn and C.

H. Leaotiman officiated as elders was small it was well known as the Ironside Church throughout the District. It finally went into the possession of the Fifth Baptist Church, of which Rev. C. C.

Meador was pastor, for about half a century, and after worshiping In the frame structure some years this congregation erected a brick building, eventually celling It and erecting an imposing cciifice on street near 7th street southwest. In 1837 Mary Evans had title to part lot 12. and the following year W. A. Bradley had title to lot 2 on street and lots 12 to 14 on street, including the corner of 4V? street.

William Grinder tn the forties had a grocery on the east front of the square. On Sqmare 534. Square formed by 3d. streets, of thirty-four lots, in 1796 was apportioned. In 1800 four lots had been disposed of.

P. Nlcklin and R. E. Griffith having one on street, and Solomon Etting three lots at and streets. In 1803 two lots on street and five on street were in the name of Benjamin Stoddert.

and in 1303 William Rean ha.l five lots on street, extending from the street corner. Conveyances did no. appear again till 1822. when John Graeme owned lot 10 on street, and a 200-do1" iar improvement is listed shortly after. the name of Julia Thompson.

In IK. John Eyre owns lots 0 and 13 on and 4V4 streets, respectively: H. K. Randan lias 12 and 15 on 4', street, and John A. Smith 10 and 11 on street and 14 and 16 on street.

In P. Hotter and C. Smith each have a lot on street, in 1832 Ulysses Ward owns 31 and Charles Lyons 30 on 3d street. In 1830 D. D.

Aiden has nine lots, four on an(J the others on the north front. The next year L. D. and W. S.

Drummondl own lot 14 on street, and in 1833 W. G. White lots 27 and 32 to 34. and 8. Clarke lot 25 on 3d street.

In 1834 Stewart owns three lots in the northeast part of the square: J. T. larke afterward owns one. and W. H.

Orme the one adjoining. In 1836 Murray and Semmes own two lots: G. Phillips, Brooks and H. Douglas one each. In 1840 J.

Rhodes and Clorinda Thorn each own in lot on street, and C. Miller in 16 on street. In the thirties Joseph Church lived near the corner or Maryland avenue and street. On 4.j street there lived William Kiernan Robert McGown. and on 3d street Miss Mary Thorn.

The square south, 535. was of canteen original lots, and Nlcklin in 1800. had a lot. and two years later Gen. Van Ness had six lots, mostly In tne west part of the square.

There were no Improvements noted, or for that matter, few conveyances till the forties. Ulysses Ward had three lots, Inez B. Palmer two and J. B. Gorman and James Young one lot each in 1833.

In 1835 W. C. Orme owned lot 18, on 3d street, and in 1839 Mrs. Eleanor Grinder owned lot 14. on street.

In the forties the well known Grinder family lived on street, Mrs. Handy on street and Charles Kiernan had a grocery at the corner of -ri and streets.

Every man Is troubled with the problem of how to prevent the necktie bulging out and protruding over the top of the vest in front, presenting a very untidy appearance.

To obviate tho use of the separate clasp usually employed for securing the hanging or tying ends of the necktie -to the front of the shirt a New York man has devised the arrangement shown here. This consists of retainers attached to the necktie, which are formed of one or more loops or eyelets, either elastic or non-elastic. These loops engage with the front shirt stud or the shirt itself, being placed on the inner surface of the ends. They are arranged in succession, any one being engageable with the shirt stud, according to its relative position. Small metal hooks can be substituted for the loops, the hooks engaging with the shirt stiul opening.

These retainers are adaptable to all neckties having ends which lie over the shirt bosom, whether "made" neckties or such as are intended to be tied by the user. Charles I's Cloak.

The special guests or the evening will toe a famous Masonic orator and a distinguished author, whose names are withheld for the present, but who have given assurance of their presence on the occasion.
