THE WESTERN STEAMBOAT COMPANIES.

Capt. J. T. Stockdale, of the Pittsburg and Cincin- ball Company; Capt. Robt. Wise and other rep- Tesentatives of different western steamboat lines were present, Mr. Butterworth spoke of the dimeulty of reach- ing a just and proper interpretation of the law, and addressed himself more particularly to the Jong and short haul clause, and the provision pro- hibiting discriminations, ’ Mr, Butterworth con- tended that railroad companies ought not to be Permitted to discriminate against individuals or localities, He also urged that they should not be permitted to tax the people in the Way of rates to pay dividends on watered stocks. He said Une steamboat companies could not extort or discrim- inate as the highway of nature 1s there, and any ina OF set of en can run boats upon it. GEN.

Langston, ex- minister to Hayti, in that city yesterday morning shot and fatally wounded John H. Ruffin, a colored hand in Cameron's tobacco factory. Langston, it is stated, charged Ruflin with having taken a meerschaum pipe from lis (Langston’s) room, and upon RuMn denying this called him a d—d lar and fired at him, the ball entering the abdomen, ‘The doctors tear that Ruffin may die from perito- nitis, Langston surrendered to the police.

A report of the investigations of butter adulter- ation made during the past year by Prof. Wiley will soon be issued by the Agricultural Depart- ment. The materials for the investigation were purchased in open market fn all parts of the coun. try, no intimation being given in any case of the purpose for which the purchase was intended. In not more than one-third of the cases did the pur- chase prove to be an adulteration or imitation, except, when something else than butter was for, and the fraudulent articles were almost uniformly secured when low-priced materials were called for. In no instance was it found that an article sold tn the market as butter was entirely fraudulent. ‘The adulterated articles usually con- tained between thirty and forty per cent of pure ‘butter, the remainder most commonly consisting of beet fat, lard, and cotton-seed oll, Prof. Wiley NEW JERSEY AVENUE, 1¢ Will Take the Lion's Share of the Appropriation, ‘New Jersey avenue is the only street or avenue in the city which has the old wooden block pave- ment. This extends trom M to O streets, Dut Is scarcely visible to the naked eye, by reason of the sand and gravel which has been Scattered over It by the vehicles Which have traveled that way. From O street tothe Boundary there is a gravel roadway. Nearly all the old block pavements in the city have been replaced by asphalt or other modern material The contemplated im- provement of this avenue will extend from M_ street to-the Boundary. The adver Usement for bids for this work will call tor proposals for a granite, coal-tar distilled, asphalt, .or other pavement, and the awards will be made according to the price asked, the condi- tion of the avenue and the character of the traftic over it, Its very certain that the asphalt pave- ment Will not be lald. ‘The contractors who have doue thisavork heretofore say that they give thelr Park, to, the city when the price is but two dollars Dersquare yard and that ehey cannot ley an te. phalt pavement With a six-inch base for that sum. he distillated paveruent, which contains seven- ty-five per cent of asphuit, and twenty-five per cent of Portland cement, ahd ts laid witha base ot four Inches, is out of the question, not only as Tegards the unprofitable price for laying 1t, but also because Congress, when it made the appro Priation for the improvement of streets and. ave- hues, distinetly specited that all pavements laid under this appropriation must be equal in charac ver to, and have the same depth of base as, those laid prior to July, 1886. Before that time the pavements were of asphalt and had a base of six Inches. ‘Therefore, the distillat Wement 18 Out of the question,” = It is universally believed by officials of the Dis- trict government that the Commissioners and the digtrict attorney (if the question is submitted to hin for decision) will decide that, as it was the manifest intention of Congress that New Jersey ave nue should be paved from M street to the boundary, At must be done. ‘This will have the effect (as nas alreafy been stated by THE Stan) of knocking the appropriation for the northwest section higher Shan a kite. in.so far as all the other streets “und avenues in that section are concerned, and the ‘Commissioners apprehend that there will be loud “howls” from property owners in that section ‘when the condition of things is understood. COMPULSORY TO PAVE THE AVENUE THROUGHOUT. The District attorney decided to-day that by the act It is compulsory upon the Commissioners to pave the avenue throughout, ——— ARRESTED FOR ALLEGED FRAUDS, Charges made in San Francisco against John A. Benson and others. A dispatch from San Francisco savs that the United States grand jury, which was engaged for nearly two Wecks in Investigating alleged fraudu- lent land surveys, by which it 1s charged a large amount of money was obtained from the Govern- ment, on Saturday returned forty indictments of conspiracy and perjury. ‘The first arrests under ‘these indictments were made yesterday,as follows: John A. Benson, of the firm of Benson & Co., sur veying contractors, on seven indictments of con- spiracy to defraud the United States; Theo. Retch- ert, the present State surveyor-general, on three indictments of conspiracy; Duucan McNee, a Partner of Benson, on charge of con. spiriracy: M.-F. Refily, subcontractor, on seven indictments of conspiracy and’ two for perjury; Glover on two charges of perjury, and W. K. Slack on five charges of con- splracy. Benson, Reichert, MeNee, und Glover were reieased on filing bonds of $2,500 for each change. “IUis stated that other arrests will be made, John A. Benson 1s the head of the firm of Benson & MeNeé, the contractors now engaged on the Potomac flats improvement. He served a term as surveyor-general of California, and, it is charged, established a surveying bureau and secured valu: able cofttracts by learning the bids of other con- tractors. It is alleged that he obtained large sums, of money for fraudulent surveys, and also secured consideramie land, which he afterward sold at a profit. It 13 asserted that he has been the Feal head of the surveyor-general’s oftice for ten Years, and one dispatch from Sap Francisco says that it is estimated that the profits from his con- tracts ranged from $150,000 to $200,000 yearly. ‘WHAT IS SAID AT THE LAND OFFICE. At the General Land Office a Sran reporter was told that these frauds in connection with the sur- veys of the Western public lands were made known to the office in 1881 by Wilson T. Smith, an agent of the Department, who Was subsequently removed by the influence, it 1s sald, of the ring. ‘Their operations began ih 1879 when the spec deposit system went Into operation by which sur- Yeys of public lands would be made by the Gov- ernment surveyors when a deposit of money was furnished, the object being to enable settlers to secure surveys of their lands without waiting for the régular survey to be made. After the survey was made the deposit was returned in the shape ot certficates, which were recelved by the Govern- ment in payment of public lands. Commissioner Sparks stated in his last. two annual reports that the surveys by the Pacific coast ring Werein the main fictitious, He adds that he refused to audit ‘these accounts, and that every expedient known, w legal chicanery has been used to force the pay- Ment of such accounts through the Treasury over the heads of the accounting officers of the Interior Department, It 18. stated that the Nevada Bank advanced the money for these operations, but whether they had a gullty knowledge ts a question that is to be established. Itis stated at the Land Ofiice that the bulk of these frauds were commit ted prior to the year 1884, and are therefore within the ‘statute of “limitations; but the tpformation upon which these indictments were based Was ob- tained by the preliminary examination only of a special agent. What a complete and thorough in- Vestigation Would result in is a question. ee: = MES, EMMONS’ CAS She will be Present at the Crow-Exe amination of Her Husban: ‘Mrs. Kmmons paid a visit to this city last_even- ing, called at the residence of Mr. Garnett, her counsel, but did not find him at home, then visited Dr, Garnett, and drove to her old home, on Vermont avenue, merely to get a look at the house, Ms. Kmmons had not called at_ Mr. Gar- nett’s office up to noon to-day, but Mr. Garnett Is expecting a call from her before Thursday, the day when the hearing before the auditor will be resumed.’In the inquiry into Mrs. Emmons’ sanity intituted by her husband, Mrs, Emmons’ defense was conducted at considerable expense, Besides counsel fees, experts were summoned, who have put in lange bills.
