On Su day and Monday the nucleus of the comet pre- sented a confused mass. On the former day, how- ever, both the great comet and the Barnard bomet were geen. The report of the comet seen in Greece has not been verified, and nothing ts known of the supposition that it’ was the same: as seen in Panama on Monday. ‘The opportunity for observa- tion has been so slight recently that Dut little new has been ascertained. Itis known that Mr. Cruls 1s not the discoverer of the comet, but that Mr. Finlay saw it on the 8th of September af Cape Good Hope, antedating Cruls’ discovery by three days. ‘The great comet 1s now known as the Fin- lay, instead of the Cruis.

The report of the results of the Investigation made by Mr. Wells into thestar route jury bribery charges Is awaited with much interest. The re- port, it is understood, will be a complete vindica- tion of all government officers whose names have been involved in the scandal. It 1s understood that the statement which Bowen made to District Attorney Valentine, of Philadelphia, regarding Dickson’s charges in the star route bribery matter was a cross-examination of Bowen by the district attorney touching the statements made in Bowen’s original affidavit, with the view of determining the truth or falsity of his orizinfil statement, the object being to put special counsel in possession of all the facts obtainable, 8o as to determine whether or not crimiual pro- ceedings should be instituted against Bowen, WHY THE REPORT IS DELAYED. It was learned at the Department of Justice to~ day that the publication of the statement in reply to the charges of Foreman Dickson has been de- layed, awaiting the arrival of au aMdavit of Asso- ciate Justice Wilson W. Hoover, of the supreme court of Arizona, who 13 cognizant of important facts. The report of the investigation will proba- bly be given to the public in two or three days. Mr, Fall and the Department of Jus- tice. Upon inquiry being made of Mr. Brewster Cam- eron, at the Department of Justice, by a STar re- porter this morning, as to whether Mr. Frank H. Fall had been employed by the department after his dismissal, and carried upon the rolls of the de- partment under the name of Frank Hill, Mr. Came- ron replied that the statement was absolutely false: and that Mr. Fall had had no connectian with the department since his dismissal on the 17th of July. In this connection Mr. Cameron showed the re- porter the following correspondence between the Attorney General and Mr. Fall: Under date of October 5, 1! Mr. Fall wrote to the Attorney General, as follows: “I have the honor to make known ‘to you that I have been notified by one Charles S. Moore, of the office of the district attorney for the District of Columbia, that he would be ready to take my statement con- cerning the ‘Brown bribery’ charges at safd office on Thursday, October 5, at 8 o'clock p.m. Inas- much as I was at the time of the alleged attempt ‘at bribery an oMicer of the Department of Justice Tdeem it my duty to communicate the matter to you, and await any desire of request which you’ may be pleased to communicate to me. Since the verdict was rendered in the star_route case it has come to my knowledge that Col. Inger- soll, W. A. Cook, A. C. Richi John Sargent, Detective George Miller and E Taylor have con- cocted a scheme to have me arrested on the afi- davits of Thomas Foote and Arthur Paine. Arthur Paine has disclosed the whole scheme to me and is willing to communteate it to your department. Knowing that I have done nothing to reflect dis- credit on the Department of Justice or myself, I feel that T ought to have an opportunity to show the matter to the government. On the 9th instant Attorney General Brewster addressed Mr. Fall as follows: “Your letter of the 5th instant was brought to my notice to-day. I have doubted whether the Department of Justice Ought to take notice of such a communication. Because you referred to a Supposed conspiracy on the part of certain star route defendants to injure you, and because you say: ‘Knowing that I have done nothing to reflect ‘discredit on the Depart- ment of Justice or myself, I feel I ought to have ‘an opportunity to show up the mattar to the gov- ernment’—because of this statemest of yours I have thought it proper to write you this note. You were dismissed from the service of thisdepart- ment On the 17th of July and for improper conduct. You wrote a letter addressed to Mr. Brewster Cameron, the general agent of the department, dated the 15th of July, which letter subjected you to finmediate removal. Therefore I cannot permit you to write a letter to this department stating you ‘have done nothing to reflect discredit on yourself’ in connection with your relation with this department. If you are in fon of any proofs of any schemes to injure you by certain Star Toute defendants or any scieme by them to secure your arrest, present ‘those proofs to Mr. Merrick, the special’ Assistant Attorney General, and he’ will give them such attention as their merits may require.” Mr. Merrick says that Mr. Fall has never come to him or laid the matter referred to in the letters above given before him. BOWEN'S RELEASE. “Colonel” Henry A. Bowen, of the star route trial notoriety, who was arrested in Phila- delphia on Monday, charged with having de- frauded John K. Trouck, proprietor of the Great Western hotel, out of $54, a debt contracted for board and lodging, was yesterday afternoon re- leased by Magistrate Lennon, the defendant hav- ing given Mr. Trouck security for the payment of the bill, which was obligingly furnished by Miss_ Howard, a singer at ‘Thorn’s garden, Philadelphia. The young woman, who, the Philadelphia pears to have fallen desperately in love with the colonel, was Willing and anxious to deposit two silk dresses with the hotel proprietor as an canes of her lover's intention to settle his board papers “say, a MORE AFFIDAVITS SAID TO BE COMING. It is stated that the defendanes in the star Toute case have another batch of aMdavits relat- ing to the bribery charges on hand, and that they ‘will be pubilshed about the time the report of Mr. Wells is made public. BOWEN AND MIS8 HOWARD. Miss Howard, the singing woman who saved Bowen from a Philadelphia jail by sacrificing a portion of her wardrobe, is sald to have met with Bowen in this city and at Driver’s garden—that modern Garden of Eden—where the serpent Bowen 1s reported to have tempted Dickson. Miss Howard appears to have been one of the members of the company there atthe time of the Dickson- Bowen interview. A story hasbeen published that Bowen ran a bill for a very large sum of money at Driver's for entertainment for himself and his charmer, and finally settled by a compromise. a Driver denies that Bowen ever ran a Dill at ue jace or ever spent-money on any periormer at Blac as such things are not allowed there. He lentes, also, that Mr. Bowén or any others ever spent money for wine in the green-room at his eater, as Nas been published, a3 no one, except employes of the place, are allowed in the place. ——___ +o ____ ‘The Late Northwest Stage Company. BILL IN EQUITY FOR AN ACCOUNT AND APPOINTMENT OF A RECEIVER. Mr. N. Wilson, for C.C. Huntley, has filed against Bradley Barlow a bill in equity for an account and the appotntmentot a receiver, Complainant states that in July, 1874, the Northwest Stage Company existed, in which plaintiff had two shares, defend- ant three, and Adam E. Smith one; that prior to July ist, 1878, Smith sold hisshare to Barlow, which left the plaintiff entitled vo one-third:of the pro- ceeds from certain mat} contracts from July 1st, 1874, to 1878, viz: Boise City to Winnemucca, Nev. ; Kelton to The Dalles, O1 ; liver City to South Mountain, O ta Walls to Wallla, Wash- ington Territory; Baker City to Sparta, Oregon; Canyon City to Fort McDer Botse ‘The Greeley Arctic Colony. THR VIEWS OF GEN. HAZEN. Gen. Hazen, chief signal ofiicer of the army, has transmitted to the Secretary of War the report (heretofore mentioned tn Tag STAR) of Mr. W. M. Beebe, of the supply expedition, sent this year for Lieut. Greeley’s party, at Lady Franklin Bay. Gen. Hazen says while the full object of the expedition was not attained, « depot of supplies was made at Cape Sabine, the most northern point on the west shore of Smith’s Sound. “I am satisfied that all possible efforts were made to reach Lieut. Greeley, which were defeated only by the unusual Ice of last year’s formation.” Gen, Hazen says Lieut. Greeley “is known to have secured a large supply of fresh meat from a herd of musk oxen, and at certain seasons Arctic horses, ptormegan, seals, and perhaps fish are obtainable. He has abund- ance of oll for lighting; alcohol for use as fuel in sledding expeditions, ‘ana there are coal beds In his immediate vicinity. He also has his party comfortably and warmly housed, and 1s well sup- ied with articles of clothing.” Gen. Hazen lurther says:—“Should the results next year be the same as this, and the vessel sent be unable to get through the fea, it will be necessary for Lieut. Greeley to retreat by the Ice to the vicinity of Lite Boat Cove, near Littlean Island. At ail events there must be no delay next year in sending an officer of character with a small party with dogs, and every preparation to push on to Greeley’s colony in case the channel 1s closed.” A plan for this expedition of next year, with de- tails as to men and supplies, will at an early day be submitted. The expedition this year suffered no inconvenience from cold, the temperature at no time falling to zero, Farenheit. ‘The New Potomac Water Reservoir. ITS PROPOSED LOCATION DESCRIBED IN DETAIL. The “depression east of Howard University,” containing sixty-six acres of land where the new water reservoir is to be located, as stated in the report of Major Lydecker, printed in Tus Star of the 17th inst., will be better understood by those unacquainted with the locality after carefully reading the following: The most southerly por- tion of the land to be taken is about one third of @ mile east of the 7th street road, nearly on the line of Trumbull street. Trumbull st.runs east and west about half way from the Freedmen’s hospital to the main unalng of Howard university. The western extremity of the reservoir will be about seven hundred feet east of the 7th street road, and about one hundred and fifty feet south of the southern extremity of the grounds of the Schuetzen Park—consequentiy it will bea little more than half a mile in length, and will vary in width from six hundred to twelve hundred feet. The conduit will enter the reservoir about 250 feet north of the residence of Gen. Whittlesy and about the same distance east of the south end of Miner hall, in what Is now known as the “sand bank.” From this point northerly the west line will be a little below the level of the university campus, crossing Lin- coln and Sumner st.about 700 feet east of the 7thst. road, and when completed will afford one of the finest views in the District of Columbia from the high ground between it and the road. ~ The Srounas: of the Soldiers’ Home at the east- ern end of Sumner street will be near the outside of the reservoir at that Waa Now, to follow it southerly, come back to the sand bank near Miner hall and follow the boundary east along the bank to the eastern line of the grounds at the home of President Patton; thence south to College street, where the wallof the reservoir will be about fifteen or twenty feet above the present grade of that street, from which pdint the wall curves southeasterly across Moore’s farm to the Emmet place, where the eastern boundary will run north- Westerly along the edge of the hill to near the in- tersection of Sumner street with the grounds of the Soldiers’ Home, heretofore mentioned. It is understood that a drive will be laid out on the wall entirely around the reservoir, and that it will be reached by adrive tobe made from the corner of 44; and College streets. Lincoln street, on the north side of Howard University grounds, will become a pular drive from the 7th-street road, as will Sumner street. There will be some fine butiding sites inthe vicinity on the high ground overlooking the reservoir on the north and West, as itis destined to bea popular resort. A lake covering—with its surrouadings—sixty-six acres of land at 145 feet above tue level of the Po- tomac, with a fine drive around it and avenues to the Capito! and Georgetown along the brow of the beautiful hills, will add a new feature to the many attractions of Washington. Ss ‘The Scottish Rite Mason THE ANNUAL SESSION CLOSED WITH A BANQUET.
