A Settlement with Roneh’s Assignees, ALL DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THEM AND THE GOVERNMENT SATISFACTORILY ADJUSTED. The Secretary of the Navy has settled all the pending claims between the assignees of John Roach and the government by paying them $45,000, $25,000 for the care of the monitor Parltan, and $20,000 as final payment for the despatch boat Dolphin. Although $60,000 was provided for at the ast session of Congress for the settlement of the claim for the care of the Puritan, Secretary Whitney considered the amount excessive, His offer to compromise for $25,000 was finally accepted and the con- troversy on that point nded, THE FINAL PAYMENT ON THE DOLPHIN hasbeen in dispute many months, The as- signees some time ago offered to compromise for $45,000, but the offer was not accepted, as many things, it was claimed, were not up to the contract. After steps were taken to decide what amount was really due the Roach estate jor work performed the account was closed upon payment of $20,000, While the final payment was pending the Secretary did not consider the Dolphin a vessel of the navy, and she hus been lying at Nortoik ever since her trial trip. She will now be classed among the naval vessels, and will at an early day be foecea to some duty on one of the naval sta- ix, has resigned, THE NAVAL CRUISERS Boston, Atlanta and Chicago, were only partly constructed at the time of the Roach failure, and thelr completion was undertaken by the Navy department at the Roach yards. There iy no misunderstanding between the Roach as- signees aud the government regarding these Vessels, ag the plan of continuing the work was agreed upon before the departinent took the matter into its own hands. Now that the Roach accounts are finally settled it ts thought he will in all probability be a bidder for bulid- ing the new cruisers, for which proposals were advertised for last week.

THE CURIOUS STORY OF A YOUNG COLORED WOMAN—ARREST OF THE NEGRO SHE’ AC- cusEs. Tuesday evening a colored dressmaker named Susie Meredith, ving at 1512 L street northwest, went out for a walk with a young colored man named Charles Syphax.

A Rush of Applicants for Tickets of Adminsion. ‘To-day was the first day for issuing tickets of admission to new pupils applying for admis sion to the public schools. There was a greater rush than usual on the first day. This was exe plained by the fact that the time for issuing Uckets has heen contracted into three days, instead of being extended over a week, as has been the custom, Tickets were issued this morning from the offices of the supervising principals in the several divisions, These gen- ‘Uemen were at their offices for the purpose from 8:30 to 10 o’ciock. Some of them had to continue their labors until after ten o'clock, as at that hour there were still many waiting. ‘They will resume business again this evening, between 5:30 and 8 o'clock, and to-morrow an Saturday atthe same hours as today. The roves by which @ parent or pupil gets a ticket Bsubstantially thie They tind outside of the supervising principal's office two or three teachers sitting at tables, who ask the preliml- bary questions, as to name, age, residence, Sc, and to fill out Some of the’ blanks on a little slip or ticket, which is handed to the applt- cant. The applicant then steps in line and pisses In review In course of Lime before the supervising principal, who asks further ques- Uons, and ‘completes the ticket by assigning the candidate to a school and signing his name. ‘The pupil will present the ticket to the school to which he is assigned next Tuesday morning. In the colored schools the rush was not so great ‘asin the white schools. Superintendent Cook said this was because the colored people are not generally such close readers of the news- papers as the whites, and theretore were not so generally posted. | Many of them will not apply Jor admission until the schools are opened next week. In the first division the schools will be some- what embarrassed and crowded, on account of the loss of the building corner of 220 and 1 Bireets, which accommodated twelve schools. ‘The old engine house building, coriier of 19th und H streets, has been prepared for tour schools, but # sult forsinjunction is threatened by a neighboring property owner, who thinks a Public schoo! is & nuisance. ‘The teachers of the different divisions will meet Saturday in the centrai building of their Tespective divisions. ‘The hours of meeting are sourranged In the different divisions that the superintendent can get around and talk to ali, ‘The teachers of the fitth d'vis'on will meet ut the Curtis building at 9 a.m; of the first division and county at the Franklin at 11a. m.; second division, Seaton. building, 1 p. m.; third division, Wallach building,2 p. m.; fourth division, Jefferson building, m.; seventir division, Sumner bullding, 2:30 p.’ m., and eighth division, John F.

ANOTHER COMPANY WIICH CLAI3S TO CONTROL A PRIOK INVENTION. CHICAGO, Sept. 16.—A suit is pending in the United States circuit courtof unis clty In whieh the Bell Telephone company is the complain- ant. The detendant is the American Cusoman Telephone company, organized tor the purpose of manufacturing telephones. Thi ante-dates all previous clatmauts ti patents, claiming that Cus construcied and publicly operatéa a telepis at Racine, Wis,, in 1851. The Cushman puicht fs claimed tw be identical with that of Protesso: Bell, The American Cushman Telephone co Pany was incorporated a short time ago. The company at once set out to manufacture and sell telephones. Immediately the Bell company fled a bill in the cireuit court, praying for an injunction. To this bill an answer will be fled ina tew days by Judge Smith, solicitor for the defendants, The answer denies that Bell bai ever transmitted urticulate speech by tb method or with the apparatus now claimed to be covered by his pateut, In 1851 the defend- ‘ants claim D.8. Cashman constructed and ex- hibited in Kaclue wo instrument by which articulate sounds were transmitted in exactly the same manner in which Bell accomplished the same thing years later. For three years Cushman’s telephones were tn public use in Racine, while the inventor endeavored to in- Vent a transmitter which would so maxnify the sounds that conversations could be carried on in noisy places. In 1867 and 1568 Cushman tully explained in public ‘his method at La- tonia, Malvern, New Lisbon and other places in Obio. In support of these claims the attor- ney for the Cushman compuny have more than twenty-five alfiduvits by people who saw and talked over Casiman’s telephone in Ita- cine. There are also affidavits trom men of high standing to whom Cushman talked in ‘Ohio, and to whom be exhitited his instrament Jor Wansmitiing Vocal sounds by means ol elec- ‘tricity. a For the Parliamentary Fand.
