And to overcome the former nuisance, one con- nected with the present box in the privy, the committee recommend the introduction and use of a new and improved receptacle in place of the box now in privies, whieh receptacle can be moved and replaced by a clean one as often as is thought necessary, and which the committee will hereafter describe.

ATTEMPT TO SEr A RatLroap—Arrest of Prominent Ofictals.—About 1 o'clock this after- noon considerable excitement was created by the attempt of the Baltimore and Potomac, or Washington and Alexandria railroad company, or certain officiais of these companies to tear up and carry off the iron of the abandoned portion of the Henry street railroad track. This track was built by the United States government dur- ing the war. Since the war it has been aban- doned by the government. The ownership of the iron has been a matter of dispute since its ndonment, the W. & A. road claiming it as a branch of their line, and the city as abandon. ed property. A short time ago the city council passed an act authorizing the board of public works to take the iron and sell it, and apply the proceeds tothe improvement of the streets. ALout 12 e’clock to-day Mr. Pulman, in charge of the gang of laborers engaged in the repair of the track, received orders to transport his gang to Alexandria, and they were transported to Duke street, and the men, about fifty or seven- ty-five in numbe., at once set to work to tear up and load the iron on the trucks. E. L. Du Barry, superintendent, and O.A. Stevens, man- ager of the road, were with the party, and Mr. DuBarry, it is said, struck the first lic! th th pick to dislodge the rails. As soon as the mov: ment was observed, word was conveyed to the authorities, and Dr. Johnson, of the board of aldermen, and Mr. J.T. Beckham, of the board of public work: Col. C. E. Stuart, hurried to the scene, accompanied by Lieut. Smith and @ squad of police. Messrs. DuBarry, Wool, Stevens, were promptly arrested, and conveyed to the station-house. Under prompt and decided direction of Mr. Beckham the rails were thrown from the car where a few had been loaded, and the track was torn up above King street ahead of the most of the tratn, but the engine and two cars wh ad moved north of King street to open the way for travel, escaped and made off to Washington. Quite an exciting scene occurred in the attempt to catch the en- gine, several of the police being in hot pursuit, bong laborers running to get a ride to Wash- ington, After the prisoners had remained in the sta- jon house @ quarter of an hour they were brought before Mayor Berkley, assisted by Jus- tice May. Col. C.E. Stuart appeared corporation, and Mr. S. Fer, Messrs. Smith counsel for the prisoners. An injunction granted by Judge Keith prohibiting the city council from ring jon of the road, Was produced by Mr. Sexguscn Beach, and the oom porataon agreed to allow the injunc- tion to be filed, and the question thus made the testof the law. The prisoners were then dis- charged with notification that if they com- menced to tear up the track again they should be promptly arrested. Messrs. DaBarry and Stevens proceeded to have the track relayed. dupes R. H. Cocker was Fig aes § nominated for the House of Delegates by the Fairfax conservative convention.—Sentincl, last evening.
