Raat fase = achat ‘THE RESOLUTION TO INVESTIGATE THE PURCHASES OF LAND FOB THE DISTRICT—THE DISTRICT aP- PROPRIATION BILL AND THE CITY POST-OFFICE ‘SITE BILL. Bills from the District committee were not taken up in the House to-day, as none the committee desired to press at this time were on the calendar, The District, however, got the day, for the District appropriation bill was teken up for action. District matters were at- tracting attention outside the hall of the House | order as well. THE RESOLUTION TO INVESTIGATE THE DISTRICT COMMIZSIONERS, A meeting of the committee on ruJes was called to consider Mr, Taulbee’s resolution for an investigation of the action of the Commis- sioners in relation to the purchase of sites for the new school buildings, The speaker and Mr. Randall were the only members present, and, not constitutin juqyum, no action “could be taken,” ‘They talked the matter over at some length, and without concluding exactly that an — should not be ordered, they seemed to agree that, as it sees that the Commissioners had acknowledged that they made these purchases through agents or middle Men, to the profit of le men, Congress needed no investigation to establish the fact but should at once authorize the law officers o! the government TO BRING SUIT TO RECOVER MONEYS IMPROP ERLY PAID in making these purchases, This was a con- clusion reached in merely an informal talk. They expect to get a quorum of the committee together as soon as possible, and they may decide that an investigation would be better before taking the matter into the courts, The committee having failed to act in the matter, Mr. Taulbee, when the House met, asked for immediate consideration of a resolu- tion providing for an investigation. It re- quired unanimous consent to consider this at once. and Mr. Williams put in an objection. REFERRED TO THE DISTRICT COMMITTEE. Mr. Brewer then asked that the resolution be referred to the District committee. Mr, Taul- bee did not object to this reference, and it was made, Mr. Taulbee is determined that there shall be an investigation if possible, and that the facts shall all be made known and action be taken accordingly. His vttitude is upon the ground that if the action of the Commissioners ‘was proper in making the purchases Congress has no business to try to recover any of the money; if their action was improper there is beccgpee in, Sages than money involved. He says he was moved to the investigation merely by # desire that the truth should be known, and that no per had suggested to him the offering of the resolution. Since he offered it many citizens of the District had come to him to thank him for the interest he has shown in tae welfare of the District. There appears to be a disposition among some members to avoid investigation, and it is reported that the parties who have been bene- fited by the favoritism of the Commissioners will be willing to refund the money to avoid investigation. The only idea Mr. Carlisle and Mr, Randall had in the matter was to avoid the expense of an investigation if the facts are already known. They have no disposition to shield the Com- missioners. The would merely proceed upon the assumption that the facts are established. WASHINGTON CITY POST-OFFICE BILL. The District matter was up in the House committee on public buildings; and, also, the committee discussed the situation of the Wash- ington city post-office bill, and decided to do their best to pass ‘the bill during this session. The senate last session passed a bill for the purchase of the site on art which the Le Droit building stands. The Frouse committee favored a different site, and reparted to the House a bill to purchase square 439, on which the _ police ead- uarters, Police Court, &c., now stand. ‘hey hope to pass that bill and get the matter into conference, where some agreement may be reached before this Congress expires. It is thought that the interest taken in the matter by the President in his last message will assist in the passage of the bill. The committee's report says: ‘Thefneed of suitable accommodations for the post-office at the city of Washington has been long realized, and needs no argument. The present quarters are too small for the amount of business to be done, and possess none of the facilities which are provided in places of much less importance. The committee bas held session after session devoted to the selection of a suitable site for a post-office building, and has canvassed carefully the merits and disadvantages suggested in nection with each site proposed, and after such full and careful consideration is of the opinion that the site proposed in the bill referred to the committee is a suitable one for the erection of a city post-office building. Square 489 is situated west of Judiciary square, and is bounded on the south by D street, on the west by 6th street. on the north by E street, and on the east by Sth street. On the south itis practically open to Louisiana ave- nue, nothing but a small triangular plat of ground belonging to the government inter- veni between D street and Louisiana avenue in its front; and being elevated and facing open areas on the south and east, itis a favora- the one for the health and comfort of employes of the will government who oceupy such building as may be erected thereon. It is nearly the center of the city, a fact worthy of consideration in con- nection with the carrier system, and is conven- iently located with reference to the two rail- road depots, where mails are received and dispatched. This square embraces an area of more than 76,000 square feet, of which the government now owns 6,312 square feet, and occupies another portion also, paying rent for the same. The bill referred ‘to proposes that the site be devoted to a city post-office and District building; but the committee has thought pi x to recommend that the site be acquired for a city post-office, leav- ing the specification of other government uses for consideration when the site shall me | have been acquired, and when provision for the erection of a building thereon shall be made, It is a site which, in addition to ample ital facilities, is capable of being utilized to accommodations for the District gov- ernment, or for many of the bureaus and divisions of the various execu- ti departments scattered now in rented quarters throughout the city. The limit of cost has been fixed, after — ‘Ys at the sum of $430,000, which, in the opinion of the committee, is a sum amply sufficient for the purpose, The committee therefore sub- mit fo accompanying bill, as a substitute for H. R. 10324, and recommend the passage of the said substitute. BUILDING FOR THE GEOLOGICAL SURVEY. Senator Platt to-day introduced a bill to pro- vide for the erection of a building in this city for the use of the United States geological sur- vey. The building will be fire-proof, and is to be erected on the government reservation be- tween the natio: museum and the army medical museum. Plans for the building are to be submitted by the director of the geo- logical survey, and the construction is to be in charge of ‘@ coramission composed of the first it secretary of the interior, the architect of the capitol, and the director of the geologi- cat survey. The cost of the building is not to exceed },000, . THE PROPOSED BIG TELESCOPE. Senator Wilson, of Iowa, to-day introduced a billwuthorizing the Secretary of the Navy to contract fok the construction of a refracting telescope of 60 inches aperture.

Mr. Henderson (Iowa) said that there was an intimation that there was something wrong in the purchase of sites. He thought that the purchase should be made directly by the Com- missioners, and he had offered an amendment to this effect in the committee on appropriations, Subsequently the Commis- sioners stated that two sales were not made before the property came into the possession of the District, but that they simply employed an agent to purchase the prop- erty. He sent to the clerk’s desk and had read a communication from the Com- missioners, giving a statement of the methods followed by them in purchasing sites. The Commissioners state that they had found it best to make purchases with the hssistance of some one who has had experience in real estate dealings. There being no fund pro- vided for the employment of » agent, there has been no such employment in the strict sense of the term. The person employed by them has to look to the vendor of the lot selected, for the | Spiliretal of whatever his services are worth. How this payment is effected the Commissioners have no means of knowing. The amendment was adopted. Mr. Atkinson. of Pa., sail he would not-utter one word which could be construed into an impugnment of the character! of the District Commissioners, but he thought the power of purchase now in their hands was a dangerous power, which might be misused. He moved to strike out the whole clause. This was defeated. Mr. Taulbee said, in connection with the statement of the Commissioners, that he had read in THe Star an interview with one of the Commissioners showing transactions that amounted to an offense against the law. “I do not see,” he said, ‘that this document changes the case. I will pursue this matter until the Commissioners are vindicated or until their bad actions are exposed.” TO SLEEP IN THE CORRIDORS. Soldiers who Will Be Quartered in Government Buildings. OHIO TROOPS TO BE BILLETED IN THE STATE, WAR AND NAVY DEPARTMENT—THE YEETING OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE—A DESIGN FOR THE BALL INVITATION ADOPTED, The problem of quartering visiting sol- diery has been solved to some extent. Gen. Ordway, chairman of the committee on mili- tary organizations, has secured the use of the corridors of the State, War, and Navy depart- ment building. The Obio troops and two of the Pennsylvania regiments have {le assigned narters in the building. They will slee their blankets in the corridors. Gen. Ordway applied for the use of the corridors of all the department buildings, and hopes to secure all except, perhaps, the ‘Treasury building. The miles of wide corridors will furnish sleeping accommodations for thousands of troops. SUBSCRIPTIONS TO THE FUND.

A letter was received at inaugural headquar- ters to-day applying for a ticket to the inaugu- ral ball. The writer was Mr. T. C. Evarts, of the money-order division, Post-Office depart- ment, aud his application was the first re- ceived. The committee announced to-day that persons applying for tickets, in order to insure registration of their names, must inclose the price of the tickets wanted. THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE. The inaugural executive committee, at its meeting Saturday evening, adopted a report of the committee on ball invitations, recommend- ing the acceptance of a design submitted by Builey, Banks & Biddle, of Philadelphia. The choice was made because the design was novel. There were others submitted that were con- sidered fully equal to this in artistic merit. The design adopted is in book form, the cover be- ing of rough, ragged-edged paper, with the inscription: “Souvenir of Inaugural Ball, March 2 1839,” in embossed Ley of gold. oe = irst two pages are copper-plate engravings o Harrison and Morton, On the third page is an allegorical picture, the Goddess of Liberty be- ing the most prominent figure, with the arts and sciences represented symbolically in the back ground.

A Woman Knocked Senseless by » Cob- blestone in the Hands of Amos Warren. To-day in the Police Court Amos Warren, colored, was committed to jail on acharge of assault and battery with intent to kill Lou Austin, @ colored woman who lives in the “division.” It is charged that he had some trouble with the woman Saturday night near 18th and C streets, and that he struck her on \ the head with a cobblestone. The woman was seriously, and perhaps, fatally injured. Officer Golway arrested Warren and conveyed the in- jured woman to the Emergency hospital. Her skull is probably fractured. She has not spoken since she was injured, and the attend- ing physician, Dr. Morris, fears that she will die from concussion of the brain. The prisoner claims that he acted in self-de- fense. He says that he was met on the street by the woman, who invited him to her house because he had some money. He refused to go, and the woman followef him about the streets, atening to cut him with a knife. He says that she raised the knife and actempted | to cut him, when he struck her and knocked her down. He denies that he struck her with astone. He is held to await the result of the ‘woman's injuries, ——>—_— A Sad Accident. THE SON OF MR. C. C. WILLARD HAS HIS LEG CRUSHED BY A FREIGHT TRAIN. ‘The New Haven Register gives a detailed ac- count of the accident to Mr. Walter J. Willard, the son of Mr. C. C. Willard, who is a tresh- man at Yale college, and who had his right leg so badly crushed on Saturday. Young Willard and a class-mate, Floyd Jones, started to walk from New Haven to Bridgeport, and when they reached the draw-bridge just this side of Bridgeport Willard jumped ona freight train to ride across the bridge. Wiulard got along all right until he neared the watering tank on the west end of the bridge when he jumped off and was thrown ‘under the cars. Just how this happened no qne seemed to know; he was seen by his friend {all of the time until he jumped, and as the train was immediately stopped and a crowd gathered about the place the terrible suspicion of what had happened dawned upon Fioyd | Jones’ mind, and hurrying on us fast as possi- ble across the bridge and through the crowd-he | found his companion lying on the ground still conscious with his leg crushed off and horribly mangled just above the knee but still hanging to the stump and bleeding but a very littie. About the first words Willard said when his companion reached the crowd were: “Oh, Jones, telegraph to my father,” and then | with wonderful calmness and presence of mind told him what to say, and gave the ad- dress of his parents in Washington, D. C. It is Willard was thrown under the wheels by the momentum received before jumping or that he slipped as he jumped and teil under the wheels; these two theories seem to be about the only way of explaining the way the acci- dent happened. An ambulance was summoned as soon as | gerren from the city and he was taken to the ospital where a consultation of five physicians was held and it was decided that an immediate amputation of the limb just above the knee was necessary, and imme- diately carried out. Willard did not lose consciousness during all the time, only as tics were administered to perform the operation. Floyd Jones after he saw what had happened and had done all in his power to make his friend easy came back to New Haven and brought the news to his class-mates. "The sad accident caused the most profound sorrow among the classmates who knew Wil- lard, while those at his club were completely overcome as the sad truth. Mr. Willard nas the sympathy of every man in college; and each student will be glad to learn that the last evening got word that the amputation was successfully performed and Willard w3s resting easily and getting along as well as could be ex; pected under the circumstances, Mr. and Mrs. Willard were at once notified of the accident, and left for Bridgeport. The only news received here to-day was that the man was getting on nicely, The Death Record. Daring the forty-eight hours ending at 1 o'clock this afternoon deaths were reported to the health office as follows: Fred. G. Mareau, white, 35 years; Nichilas Boulin, white, 62 Paha Anna G.

John Patch et al., reversing the decree below dismissing the bill and directing that acertain deed be set aside. This was a bill in equity to recover cer- | tain property on 3d street southwest. near the arsenal. which the respondents claimed under | one Howard, and on which they bad, with him, | paid taxes for about eighteen years, and that there was also a widow's dower involved in | the title, | amounting to $200 or over, and interest on it. | Some years since Mrs. Benter’s claim became known, and Harvey Spaulding procured from her a deed for a nominal consideration. and in Tuly, 1881, the respondents secured from her the transfer of joining lot involved in this case, and the: ed that it was but a short time before that they learned of ber claim. Mrs. Benter having filed a bill to set aside the deed given to Patch, the case was heard by Judge Cox, who dismissed the bill, | and from thisan appeal was noted. The court | now holds that the price paid was grossly in- adequate; that the complainant was without counsel and knowledge, and that advantage was taken of her, and that the respondents must have known that the alleged nuisance tax was invalid.
