CHARGED WITH “CORRUPTLY ENDEAVORING TO IN FLUENCE A JUROR.” ‘The only indictment returne! by the grand jury this morning was.a voluminous ofe against Henry A. Bowen for “corruptly endeavoring to influence juror.” The witnesses, whose names are fur- nished on the back of the fridictment, are William Dickson and Geo. W. Driver. The indictment charges Bowen with unlawfully and corruptly devising, contriving, and intending, to influence ‘the vote and decision of William Dickson in the determination of the star route trial, and that while the trial was pending, on August 23, 1882, he had an interview with Dickson concerning ‘the trial, and corruptly endeavored to persuade and induce Dickson, and offered to pay him_ $25,000 to vote in favor of the conviction of 8. W. Dorsey and Thos, J. Brady. The indicument is in two counts, the second of Which sets forth the same charge as the first, adding that Bowen, on the date named, tried to Induce Dicksoa to enter Into an agreement in regard to the verdict he should render against Brady and Dorsey. ——— Death of Mr. Kingman.

There is also at the wharf 650 new steel rails to be used in the construction of the tramway; these are each 30 feat long and weigh separately 400 pounds. Last Monday, when the work of unload- img these rails from ‘the Pennsylvania ratlroad cars on Maryland avenue commenced, the first load, of twelve rafls, placed on a hand-car, was permitted, by some mistake @® the Drakesman, to Tun down this temporary track to the end of the Wharf and plunge into the channel. . The car has been raised, but none of the rails as yet. SETTING THE PILES. Thus far there have been driven 72 piles on the ; Works. These are driven in the old manner, none | of the new machines having yet been put in place. ‘These piles are being utilized in the construction of the tramway frou the line of the Georgetown channel towards the Washington shore, nearly on a parallel line with the present outlet ditch for the sewer, and south of it. ‘They are too short for use in forming the outward wall next to the channel. Here the ‘piles must not be less than 70 feet in length. nor less than 14 Inches indlameter at the butt and 7 inches ‘at the point. Messrs. Sanford & Hoss have been quite disappointed. in consequence of the extreme depth, they hav- ing calenlated on not much above 50 feet at the most. They have, however, been fortu- nate enough to secure what is wanted from Vir- sina, and 500 or 600 long piles are expected to ar- Tive to-day from Occoquan by tug boat, and by Friday or Monday next they expect to have their hew pile drivers at work. Messrs. Jones and Thomas stated in_reply to a question from a STAR reporter that the splicing of piles was tmpractl- cable. In the first place, tt would cost too much to make a joint of bolts and hoops of copper, and, after all, no assurance of security would be given: MONSTER MUD-DREDGERS, There are three or four mud-dredgers expecte | In a few days, and they will be on the spot by the Ume the tramway is completed.

Mr. Mc- Millan relative to the distribution of water, and looking to a fair and equal supply to all sections ofthe city. About the latter part of last summer Iwas one of a committee of property holders in this locality who called upon the honorable Com- ices as to the in- adequate supply of water. We were courteously received and patiently heard, and, at the conclu- ston of the interview, told that the matter should be looked into, ‘and, if practicable, reme- died. Since that time the supply has decreased so Inuch that we do not get water in the kitchen longer than from about 7 to 9 o'clock a.m., and after that little or none during the remainder of the day. I learn that the residents 1n the squares 1mme- diately south of N street (or some of them) get a fair supply in the first and second stories, while with us We geta feeble flow for about two hours in the day. We are reminded in the water tax bills that ff not pad within a certain period the water will be cut off, &. I think that operation would be rather dimicult, as tt would take consid- erable search to find it. ‘Several of my neighbors, through fear of an expiosion, have had the water: back removed froin the ranges, and others have been compelled to put in force-pummps to fil the boilers and get water in their bathrooms. I trust something may yet be done to reifeve us, 80 that We may at least get @ supply sufficient for abso- lute necessities, A Résivenr OF 107m STREET NoRTHWEsT. — DEATH OF MRS.

DAMAGE TO THE STORE OF G. W. THORN & CO. An alarm was turned in from box 126, at 11:20 o’clock this morning, for a fire in the large notion store of ©. W. Thorn & Co., of No. 813 9th street. Although the whole fire department respondea promptly, {t seemed that a large conflagration Was inevitable, on account of the very inflam- Mable nature of the goods with which this store was packed, as also the paint and oll store of Mr. Francis Miller, next door. ORIGIN AND DISCOVERY OF THE FIRE. ‘The fire from the furnace in the basement com- municated, It seems, to some straw, packing boxes and other rubbish, with which the basement was pretty well filled, and then spread to the main Hoor of the building. ‘The first notice of the fire was given by a lady customer, who complained to the clerk who was waiting on’her that smoke was coming through the floor. No heed was patd to the warning just then, as the clerk stated that It was no unusual thing for smoke to issue from the registers. Pretty soon the smoke increased in vol- ume, and aclerk ran to the corner and had & young man in Mr. Pratt’s insurance office sound an alarm of fire. “A Sister of Charity, who was in the store at the time the fire was discovered, fainted and was carried out. FIGHTING THE FLAMES. When Chief Engineer Crorin and the firemen arrived, only a few minutes later, they found the flames bursting through the first floor and in the rear of the store. This whole floor was covered with paper boxes, containing combustible mate- Hal, and in a very’ few minutes more the flames would have been beyond the control of the fire- men. This entire floor was flooded with water, and soon the flames were confined to the cellar, where they smouldered for a long time, but did Uttle damage. Had the goods in the storeroom caught, from thelr combustible nature and the way they were distributed about the room—ptled loosely on tables and packed on shelves reaching from the floorto the cefling all around the room— It would have been almost an impossibility to have gotten thei under control THE LOSSES AND INSURANCE. ‘The damage by fire was entirely to the building, and was small, not being over $200 or $300. The damage by water was very large, and was on the main floor, which had to be flooded to check the Progress Of the fire. The stock was valued at about $30,000, ard was damaged to the extent of about $20,000. There is an in- surance of about £30,000, nearly all in local companies, ‘The building 1s fully insured. ‘The stock was insured with the Franklin, Columbia Arlington, German American, Firemen’s, National and Metropolitan, of this District, and the Spring- fleld, of Massachusetts. aihdnol oa District Government Affairs. DISMISSAL OF THE DETECTIVES, After the President signed the police bill yester- day the District Commissioners sent Capt. Vernon a note, readlug as follows:—“The Commissioners are apprised that the President has approved the Dill abolishing the detective force of the Metropolitan police of this District, and instruct you to notify the five officers “oc- cupying "positions as such detectives that thelr services are dispensed with from and alter this date.” Capt. Vernon at once notifled Detec- tives Voss, Coomes and Acton, who are in active service, and Detective McEltresh and McDevitt, who are suspended, that they cease to be detec: tives after the 81st ‘of January.

A number of cadets at the United States Naval academy, at Annapolis, Md., were yesterday re- moved to the prison ship Santee, because they cheered Cadet Woodruff, who was deprived of his cadet rank and given twenty-two demerits for giving assistance to other cadets in examination, and who certified on horor to a falsehood, which he acknowledged in writing afterward. For this cheering Lieut. Street was reduced in rank, and the cadets also cheered him, whereupon the super- Intendent immediately reduced all the cadet oft cers engaged in the demonstration, and sent a number of the first-class men to the’ prison ship Santee until further orders. ‘The following are the names Of those reduced to the ranks and sent on board the Santee: Cadets George, Alexand Brady, Agee, Weeks, Dalrymple, Woods, Wood and Aldrich. “The following ¢adets of the’first class not cadet officers have also been sent to the San- tee: Cadets Greene, J.
