Limiting Building Projections in the Streets. ‘THE NEW AMENDMENT TO THE BUILDING REGULA- ‘ions. ‘The order adopted yesterday by the Commis- stoners, amending the building regulations, was’ as follows: “The fronts of all buildings under thirty-five feet In width will De lmited to one projection. On the front of all buildings over thirty-five feet in width, upon which the principle front door is located. the projections will be lim- ited to fifty per cent of the front; and upon the | fiank of any bullding fronting on’ any street or avenue, the projection will be limited to forty per cent of’ that frontage of the buliding; and in no case shall the width of projections exceed four- teen feet—outside measurement—on the building Mne,' ——— A Capital Guide Badly Beaten. OUTSIDE GUIDES WHO ARE NOT ALLOWED IN THE BUILDING CHARGED WITH ASSAULTING HIM. Last evening as Mr. B.S. Cady, one of the author- ized guides at the Capitol buliding, who resides at No. 187th street northeast, was pussing along Pennsylvania avenue, near Ist street west, on his way home, he was ‘assaulted and Gate’ Baaly Deaten, his eyes being blackened and his sides and legs bruised by kicking. Mr. Cady states that his assatlants were Will Brown and James brothers, and Arthur Harris, who are said to be ruides: Mid are pec anores pied to the policing; at ag he was uiety S “Tals ts the one? stepped out and said: give It to him;” when he replied: “I can’t opposea it of you,” and with that they all j on and in the melee be used his cane, brea it over one of them. , however, soon had down and he was badly kicked and beaten.

Mr. Cady informed the stranger ‘was not cl that he could come in, but that Brown not. The: however, be- Ueved Brown and went om with him.” ig INCREASING THE WATER SUPPLY. Work to be Done on the Tu voir and Dam, ‘The work connected with the extension of the Washington aqueduct, 80 a8 to increase the water supply of this city, Is one of great magnitude, not only in fts extent but as an achievement of en- gineering. There are three separate and distinct classes of this work. First, the dam at Great Falls; second, the construction of a tunnel about four miles in length, extending trom the present d.siributing reservoir above Georgetown along the ridge of hills overlooking the northwestern part of the city to the proposed new reservoir east of Howard University; third, the construction of this Proposed reservoir. A more detailed description Of tals work will be of Interest, as it is the inten- Ucn to begin the active work Of construction this fall, ‘The land along the lne of the tunnel will b> condemned and purchased by the government at points where it ts necessary, and the land oc- cupied by the reservoir Will be obtained in the Same Way. A Fonr-Mile Tunnel. ‘The tunnel will begin at the distributing reser- voir, above Georgetown, and 1s regarded by en- gineers as an extenston of the present aqueduct. It will be about 20,826 feet long, about 11 feet wide and 7% feet high. GEOLOGICAL FORMATION. ‘The formation throush which the tunnel will be driven is believed to be a compact gnetss rock, such as may be seen in close proximity to the line exposed tn quarries, and the outcrops tn the val- leys of Rock creek and of Foundry branch, where two of the working shat» are located, and else- where. At the site of the east shaft a trial shaft has been sunk, and 1,500 feet west of this, on the line, a bore hole ut down into the rock.’ ‘These show the same characteristic formation which 18 exposed at Rock creek, Foundry branch, and else- where along the line where the rock outcrops on the surface, or where It has been quarried or otherwise excavated. LOCATION OF SHAFTS. Four working shafts will be sunk simultaneous- ly to such depth as may be required, the object being to penetrate the rock sufficiently to insure a continuous roof of sound rock for the tunnel. One will be at the site of the present trial shaft, enst end of the tunnel, one at Champlain avenué, one at Rock creek, and one at Foundry branch. ‘The east shaft will be sunk about 136 fect below the present surface, or 121 feet below bottom of the hew reservoir, within which it fs situated; the Champiin avenue shaft, 110 feet; the Reck creek shaft 40 feet, and the Foundry branch, 46 feet be- low the present surface. In addition to these a counceting shart will be sunk at the distributing Teservotr, at the western terminus of the tunnel, toa depth, approximately, of 40 feet below thé surface. The east shaft ‘and west connecting shaft, down to sound rock, are to be permanent shafts, aad will be finished, after the completion of work on the tunnel, by @llaing of brickwork, concrete, and dry-stone packing fourteen feet in terlor diameter, extending from the solid rock to the surface of the ground. AIR SHAFTS. Three air shafts will be sunk at different, points for the escape of confined air from the completed tunnel, when running full of water. They will be ined with cast-iron pipe of four Inches interlor diamter. These shafts will be gbout 180, 186, and 150 feet in depth. DRILLS DRIVEN BY COMPRESSED AIR. ‘The excavation of the tuanel will be effected by Means of the best quailty of power drills, using compressed alr asa motor. A sufficient number of these will be provided to insure the continuous work of not less than four at each breast, and they will be of such capacity tor work as to insure daily progress in rock of goven feet at each head- ing. The air will be taken from the head of each shatt to the breast In iron pipes of not less than four inches Interior diameter with joints made absolutely secure against leakage and loss of air. Hund drilling may be used to supplement the Work of the drills. The compressed alr will be provided at the head of each working shaft, at such pressure as to give not less than 60 pounds Per square inch at each drill, ia the followihg proportions; at the east shaft not less than 195 cuble feet per minute, at Rock creek shaft,champ- lain avenue shait, Founury Branch shaft, each hot less than 250 cuble fect’ per minute and such greater quanUty at each shaft as can be usefully consumed.- THE WORK TO BE PUSHED WITH VIGOR. It 1 expected that the entire work will be com- pleted on or before June 80, 1885. All work and Wworkmanshtp will be the best of ts kind, satistac- tory in every respect to the engineer, Major Ly- decker. All operations will be carried on with the utmost vigor, with ample force, and all necessary machinery ad plant, of kinds best adapted to the purpose, and require to Insure the greatest pos- sible progress in the prosecution of the work. ESTIMATE OF QUANTITIES. Excavation in tunnel, 64,000 cubic yards; earth excavation 1n shafts, 1,500 do.; rock excavation in shafts, 1,200 do.; brick masoary in shafts, 250 do. ; concrete masonry in shafts, 660 do.; dry-stone packing in shafts, 400 do.; alr shafts, complete, 420 lineal feet. ‘The Construction of the Reservoir. This tunnel will empty its contents into the reservoir to be built east of Howard University. It Will bol1 not less than turee huoired million gal- lons of water.

A COLORED MAN WHO ALLEGES THAT HE WAS KR- FUSED A FIRST-CLASS PASSAGE ON THE STRAMEK ARMENIA ‘There was another application made to Assist- ant District Attorney Charles 8. Moore, at the Po- lice Court to-day, by a colored citizen, for another warrant under the criminal section of the civil Tights act, against the persons running excursions on the steamer Armenia. The complainant in this case 1s Cornelius Brown, a colored employe of the money-order division in’ the Post Office. He ts a man of middie age and good address. Mr. Moore heard the statement of the complainant, who had his counsel, Mr. D. W. Lewis. a colored member of the bar, with him. Mr. Moore heard the state- ment of Mr. Brown, and on examining the law, decided that a warrant should issue in the c: but as the complaining parties had not the full name of the ticket agent, the issuing of the wir- Tant Was temporarily suspended till Monday next. BROWN’S STATEMENT. ‘The grievance of Mr. Brown, as he alleges. is that he was refused first-class passage on the steamer. His statement of the affair to the pros- ecutor was as follows: “On Friday, the 2th of August, I was not feeling well and decided to take @ sail down the river on the steamer Ar- menta. Ihada lady with me and tendered the Ucket agent a $5 bill aud asked for two tickets, He replied ‘that he could only give me deck rare.” Isaid ‘I suppose you prosecute me on account of my color,’ to which he made no reply.

I smarted considerably under the indignity imposed upon me and decided to prosecute the case.” ‘The Fate of Young Frawley. HE IS SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEEN DROWNED—INVES- TIGATION BY THE POLICE. Detective Block was yesterday detailed by Major Dye, superintendent of police, to investigate the Teported disappearance of young Frawley, of 326 G street southwest, who took passage on the steamer Lady of the Lake last Monday night, and who was missed before the boat landed at Norfolk. This morning Mr. Block reported to Major Dye that there was every probability that the young man fell overboard and was drowned. Mr. Block as- certained that shortly before the Lady of the Lake lett here Frawley, accompanied by Dan Toumey and another young man, came on board the boat with 2 cent tickets (for the lower deck); that they had a dog with them; that they were ‘under the influence of liquor and patronized the bar; and that during the trip Frawley a!tempted to go into the dining-room, but was. ejected by Richard Johnson, the steward, and :.ccidentally fell against a glass door, breaking it; that Capt. Barker came to him to ask nim about breaking the glass, but he was then too drunk to give any explanation. It was then found that Frawley had but two dollars when he came on board the boat; that the chief mate, James Jones, was in the pilot-house when the Boat was passing Hollisters—over 70 miles down the river—about 10:30 o'clock p. m., and that be saw Frawley endeavoring to get up to the syar leck, and that was the last seen of him; that there Were but two landings made—Piney Point and Ol Point—and Mr. Jones 1s certain that Frawley did Not pass ashore at eltherplace. Frawiey’s friends, about 11 o'clock p. m., reported his disappearance to Capt. Barker, and‘a search was made for him, when Henry Hudson, a deck hand, found his hat on the upper deck, near a cha'r, in a space quite narrow, and it is su that by the motion of the boat he lost his balance and fell overboard. It was at first supposed that Frawley had, after the breaking of the glass, attempted to secrete himself to keep from being called on. Capt. Davis, of the tug Mary Lewis, reports that yesterday morning he saw a body afloat near Colonial Beach, but being with a tow he could notstop. It is thought that this is the body of Frawley. ———— District Government Affairs. PERMITS TO CUT OFF WATER FROM PREMISES.

Gessip About the September Regatta. ‘THE COLUMBIA HOF LAST NIGHT—THAT CLUB TO HAVE THREE CREWS IN THE REGATTA—CREWS ON THE ‘RIVER LAST EVENING. ‘The Columblas gave another enjoyable hop at their boat-house last evening. These affairs had become so popular that it was found necessary to take steps to prevent such large attendance as heretofore. On this occasion the committee issued invitations to the ladies, expecting them to invite thelr escorts. This plan will be followed in the future, The affair last evening was a success, and was heartily enjoyed by all present. All of the clubs had good crews upon the water last evening. ‘The Colunbias had out an elght and three fours. The clght was well stroked by Kondrup. Several of the best rowing men of the Columbias are at present out of town, but they are expected back soon, and everything’ will thea be in complete running order. — Ward fs worki well with the stay-at-homes, It now looks ss if the Columblas will surely have three crews inthe Tegatta—eight, senior four and light-weight four. Andy ‘Smith and Brewster will compose a good hair of the latter crew. The Potomacs had out a fine eight,and two fours and a barge last evening. The eight con. sisted of McRae, stroke; Kennedy (trainer), Fraser, 6; McKinney, 5; Ryan 4; Wheeler, Kearney, 2, and Warden, bow. ‘They did some good work, ‘The Analostans had two strong fours on the water. Hatch strokes the light welght four ad- mirably, and the boys further up the river begin to think that the Analostans have a fine show for the light weight race as well a8 for the junior four. Baker, of the Potomacs, who has recently re- turned from New York, will resume his place in the Potomac eight and’four on Monday, and will continue to row regulariy in preparation for the Tegatta. Kennedy, the Potomac trainer has been rowing in his seat during his absence. White, of the Analostang, will be a dangerous man in the juntor single scull race. ‘The new four-oared shell for the Potomac senior crew has been completed by Waters, and 4g expected to arrive here next week. It was thought that the Nurragansetts, of Prov- idence, would send their famous elght-oared crew to the coming regatta. There ts no prospect of it, ea as they have not had their crew together year. At the time of the elght-oared race between the Columbtas and Metropolitans at the Washington regatta a member of the Metropolitan club made @ Det of $200 to 100, with a well-known lover of Doating here, that the Metropolitans will leave every crew that starts in the elght-oared race in the Potomac river regatta.

Slugging Match at the Com eo SOFT-GLOVE FIGHT BETWREN LOCAl. PUGILISTS, ONE WHITE AND THE OTHER OOLORED—SOME LIVELY SPARRING—THE POLICE STOP THE CONTEST DURING THE FOURTH ROUND—THE MATCH DECLARED A DRAW. The Theater Comique was packed to overflowing last evening, the occasion being the compil- mentary benefit tendered Mr. Ed. Snelbaker. In addition to the regular performance a number of volunteers a@ded interest to the entertainment. ‘The attractive feature of the evening was, how- ever, the soft-glove contest, four rounds, between John H. Stevens and Arthur Frazer, the latter colored, both well-known local pugilists. They had never met or seen each other before last evening. Frazer weighed 180 pounds and Stevens 156 pounds. The former had as his second H. Ridgeley and the latter Wm. Schofeld. Wm. Northridge was chosen referee. THE FIRST ROUND. It was apparent as soon as the first round opened that Stevens was the quicker and more scientific boxer. After a little sparring for an opening, some good hits were exchanged. Stevens had the best of it, and finally, by showering blows upon his antagonist, knocked him backwards on the stage. He attempted to strike Frazier while he was down, and, in fact, did get one blow in, When about a score of policemen sprang upon the stage and intervered. They did not stop the fight, but simply insisted upon no brutality. The men came to their places promptly, and the round was finished without any blows of consequence. Both men bad been working hard. SECOND ROUND. After considerable sparring in the second round doth men got in some sharp hits, Frazer doing Detter than in the first round. Stevens again began showering blows one after the other, and Frazer finally became somewhat dazed and dropped upon one hand, but did not lose his bal- ance. At this point the’ police again interfered, and the men returned to their seconds. THE THIRD ROUND. When the third round opened It was apparent that Frazer was standing the punishment well. Both men were shy, and after walking about each other in game cock style for some time, the referee sald they were loafing and saving up for the last round, and he would therefore call time and give them the last round after an interval of a min- ute, ‘THE FOURTH AND LAST ROUND. When they came together for the last round some hard hitting was expected. After a little sperring telling blows were exchanged on both sides, Frazer succeeding better than in the pre- vious rounds. ‘The audience became excited and the crowd of friends of the contestants behind the scenes began crowding upon the stage. Rearing that affairs might go too lar the police interier: at the request of the management, and put a stop to further proceedings. The match was decided a draw. It was evident that Stevens had the best of its farasit went, but it was.a question as to who would have been ahead in the end. ‘The few tell- ing blows that Frazer had planted seemed to weaken Stevens’ nerve, while the colored man seemed able to take a good deal of punishment, peta tc MARYLAND’s Campton Liv1gant.—Dr. Harrison Wagner was convicted in the circult court of Frederick, Md., yesterday on a number of nddi- Uonal charges of contempt of court in attempting to renew julements witch had been enjoine: Chief Judge Ritchie sentenced kim to 12 months imprisonment in the county jafl and to pay a fine of $100 In each of seven cases, and the costs of the proceedings, which will amountato between two and three’ thousand dollars. more.
