Mr, Birney appeared for the Distriet and Mr. Hine for aldkonig. Judge Olin de- cidcd bot tocontinue this injunction. The rules of the Board of Public Works, in his opinion, were not intended to prevent a man from so repairing his house that although it might differ in shape from the old one, yet it would be in no greater danger of catching on fre. In this case the change seemed to be one that rendered the building less danger ous to the neighborhood in which It was sit- | Rated. There was nothing to show that it Was more dangerous than before, and in the | absence of such proof he would presume that there was no additiona! danger. If the house had been made higher it might have come under the rule; but there was no proof that such was the case. Under these circum. starces he would refuse the prayer of the bill | to order the abatement of the improvement, And would refose to continue the injunction and leave Mr. Waldkonig to fiuish the work as he chose. “rom the bill and — THE CHARGES AGAINST ASSISTANT DIs- TRICT ATTORNEY CARRINGTON.—For sev- Jays past there have been reports in cir- culetion seriously affecting the honesty of Mr. Campbell Carrington, the assistant U.

According to the ra- mors, a colored boy named Stepney was committed to jail some time since as a wit- ne°s against twocolored men charged with the larceny of a barrel of whisky, and also against the party who it is alleged bought the liquor. Knowing that it was stolen, The first parties were convicted of larceny, main- ly on the evidence of Stepney. and the tri of the other party resulted in the jury dis- azreeing. It is alleged that Stepney when about being discharged did not receive $96 due for being detained so long as a witness, but tbat it was paid to Mr. Carrington, and that he refuses to account for the balance. it Is stated at the marshal’s office that Mr. Carrington being estrous of securing the tencance of Stepney in the stolen goods case, | ard bemg fearful that his (S’s) associates | Would get the money from him, propoved to Depnty Marshal Phillips to take the money and give it to the boy as he should need ii, And that be has aiready given him a portion Of it, and is holding the balance to secure his attendance in the otber case above referred to.

Yesterday the trial of John Green, the bar- ber, arrested b . here throug! ives Sar- gent and McElfresh, of HEARING Eharge of falsely personating David Kes, of rege y nf v les, » and enterin; i for Snyder, was continued before Commis: after my dispatch was sent to of the Wainingion Felice Court, who had | D ce Mentitad Gree as the ntan who ated i Eves from bis general appearance, as well as | by ascaron the left side of his (G.’s) neck, | was subjected to a cross-examination by Mr. vos. buthe did not change his testimony in chiet. Henry Lacy, formerly employed by the Washington Police Court, testified to the poten Bag Green with the party who had given the name of Edes, and recognized Say- der by @ photograph. SNYDER'S WIFE AND GREEN. T. B. Hall, a Baltimore detective, testified that on the 9th of August Officer Galt called his attention to a woman, maying that she Was the notorious lacelifter, M:s. Miller, the wife of Snyder; went back to take a good look at her; at the Northern Central depot saw her go to the window and buy a ticket; she then walked down the platform and met this man, (Greep;) the two talked two or three minutes and parted; Green then bought @ ticket, and about time for the cars to start he got on board, and took a seat beside the Woman; witness went out as faras Union depot to see if anybody joined them; Officer Galt told one of the officers on the train to watch the couple and see where they went in Washington; reported the cireumstance at police headquarters that night. Cross-ex- amined :—Never saw Green before; noticed him before the woman arrived at the depot, and called Officer Galt’s attention to him; passed bim several times closely, and was sure the prisoner was the person. n L Sargent, detective,of Washington, testified that he knew David’ Edes; he was a retired gentleman living in the First ward of Washington, formerly in Georgetown; knew of no other David Edes; was present when Green was arrested last week; recognized Snyder's pictare, had not seen Snyder since he was committed to jail on the charge of burglary. On cross-examination witness stated that he had neverseen Green until the time of his arrest, at his barter shop, on Thorsday last. District Attorrey Stirling said he had sey- eral other witnesses, but at this time he would not callthem. Hedesired that the testimony of Officer Gault be taken and would close for the government, reserving the right to ex- amine Mr. Gault. EXPECTS TO PROVE AN ALIBI. Mr. Wills said that the defendant bad sev- eral witnesses, but they were not present and he desived a continuance. He expected by them to prove an alibi. After some discussion the case was ad- jovrned to Wednesday, and the prisoner was remanded to jail in default of $6,000 ball. “NOT THAT MAN BUT ANOTHER MAN.” The Green now under arrest is not Corne- lius Green,a barber residing at 62 Pratt street, but isa man about 35 years old, five feet seven or eight inches high, with a full face, brown mustache and sandy hair, and certainly, as be appeared im the court ‘here yestera: woul! never be mistaken by any of Mr. Edes’ acouaintances for him, (Edes,) who is tall and has a dark complexion. The prisoner is, I believe. a French Canadian by lions a week for four successive weeks, bi this was repealed by the act of March 3, 187 which authorized only two insertions a wee for two successive weeks. Moreover, the publication was begun June Wth, and the sale was June 20th, so that there was not time for the eight insertions on whieh suit brought closer together than the law allowed. The defendant therefore wanted the dates of publication, as well as the items of extra charge. Gen. Totten claimed that the bill of par- tieulars already furnished was sufficient, and that defendapthad no right to the additional information before trial Judge Olin decided to allow the motion for @ further bill of particuiars, and directed them to be furnished within three days, and that defendant plead or demur within five daye after a satisfactory bill was filed. se erly A COLORED MAN, LATELY MARRIED, Cuts His THROAT—Domestic Infelicity the Cause of His Attempted Suicide — Edward Tyler, colored, last night attempted to cut his throat with a razor, at the house of his brother-in-law, John Lee, on 2d street, near C street southwest. It seems that he’ mar- ried, a few months ago, a woman med Wilkinson, who became a mother soon after- | wards, since whieh time he has been living | very unhappily with her, and she has of late refused to see him. Yesterday he attempted to see her, but was repulsed. Soon after- wards he went to Lee's house and took leave of his sister-in-law. He also left a diary, on | irth,and came here during the war and worked some time as a jourueyman barber. For the past four years lie has Kept a shop at No. 9 Center Market space, and it is said by some that although he has not been promi- nent as an evil-doer heretofore, yet he keeps company with very bad ple. The fact that he is charged with this offence is a sur- prise to many who had not given him credit for being smart enough to assume the char- acter alleged to have been played b: Ent perhays his task was made easy. eee THE AMALGAMATED CARPENTERS AND JOINERS met last night in the Columbia Law building; Mr. David Brannon, president, in the chair, and J. P, McMahon secretary. The report for the month of August from the bome branch, Manchester, England, was submitted, of which the following is asynop- sis:—Total number of branches, 274; organ- ized since the previous report was adopted 9% membership, 14541; on unemployed. ben: efits, 46; sick benefits, 230; superannuates, 9; branches in America, 13; membership, 416; state of trade, moderately good.

The meeting of the directors and stockhold- ers of the Washington Charlot company, called for last evening, at Moran’s, 1022 7ih street, did not take place owing to the sick- bess of some of the directors. An informal | ¢iseutsion took place among those present, | in which it was urged that the stables shouid be built on the ground of the market com- any, (cast of Savage Square market bul id- ing), and to cover the entire lot, 75 b: feet. It was further urged thata full stock | of horses be purchased— to 100 for the 14 chariots ordered—so that at least four changes be made perday. Would it not be | as well for the directors at the outset to limit the Jay's work of their employes to not more than 12 hours, and thus set ® good ex- select a guardian ad litem.

He is not above twenty-five years old, of German parentage, dark hair and com: plexion, a1 retends that he is afflicted with heart disease and other compiaints. He cannot labor, as he states, and is compelled to resort to charity.

When cold, bottle it, cork it well; andit will be fit for use, Nice CREAM PIE.—One cup of white su- gar, two-thirds of a cup of cream, two eggs, two cups of flour, oue teaspoonin! cream tar- tar, balf teaspoonful soda. This will make seven thin cakes, between which spread the cream. For the cream, take half a pint of milk, put intoa basin of hot water on the stove, beat one egg with white srgar enough to sweeten, and add two tablespoonfuls of corn starch; stir this Into the milk when hot and flavor with vanilla or lemon. Wheu cool, put between the cake CANNING CORN.—M.8. S. A. G. asks fora recive for canning green corn and peas. I will send one that has been tried and proved to be good. Shave the corn from the cob, fill Un cans as full as you can with cornu, then = in cold water about half the height of he cans, place the boiler on the stove. and boil four bours, then remove them frora the boiler and drop a little solder on the hole in the cover. I hope some of our lady readers will try this. Mrs. L. A. BP. in Christian Monttor, Preserving Frait. A correspondent of the Prairie Farmer giy- ing his method of preserving vegetables and fruit for winter use says: “Dig @ trench thirty-six or forty inches wide and from five to Six feet deep, and then | ers the bottom with lime cement, two nehes and a-hal{ thick (the same as used for cisterns). Then make a box of boards as wide ag the ditch, lacking five inches; your box in the trench or ditch, all but the cover, then fill all around the box two and ahaif inches of cement, making your 5; 23 OF compartments in the box suitable for your quantity of different kinds,then pick your apples or peaches and place themrin the box Without bruising. Fill the box so they will not come in contact with the cover. Put on hod cover with the broadways, so taney will even with the sides ofthe box, then put two and a-nalf inches of cementon top of it and you have air tightand dry compart- ments for your fruits and vegetables; and they will keep for years as sound as a rock. “In placing grapes, you must, in every in- Stance, tle each cluster on a string by {isell, while the fruit ‘s yet green, when the first on the cluster beging to turn. They mnst not be jammed in the least when put av ay. «Peaches, plums, and all other fruits must be carefully put away when first beginning to ripen, and in ali cases put them out of the reach of frost. These fruit vaults will last one hundred years, by placing boards ci ossways, you can break the cement with a bammer to each compartment of fruit with- out disturbing all that’s in the box.”” SLATE AND MARBLE MANTELS!
