LAWTON’S REPORT PREYERS CHARGES BOTH IN RELATION TO THE INAUGURATION DAY EPI- SODE AND THE RIGGS HOUSE AFFAIR. REPAVING THE AVENUE. What the Washington and Georgetown Railroad Co. will be Required to Do. CAPT. SYMONS’ LETTER TO MAJ. RAYMOND ABOUT THE PAVING BETWEEN THE TRACKS—A QUES- TION AS TO STREET INTENSECTIONS REFERRED TO THE ATTORNE! Capt. Symons has written a letter to Maj. Raymond in regard to the paving which the Washington and Georgetown railroad company will be required to do when Pennsylvania av: nue is resurfaced. The captain says that it is the intention, when the avenue is resurfaced, to correct what is now a defect in the avenue— of being too flat—b~ raising it in the center, #0 it will be necessiry to raise the tracks of the Washington and Georgetown railroad com- pany, probably, from two to four inches, This will require the tracks and the spaces between the tracks to be repaved. The Washington and Georgetown railroad company express their intention of laying down a grooved rail, and desire the District to lay the concrete pavement which would be chargeable to them under the contract made by the Commissioners, provided the work is paid for at the same price the District pays for its work. and that the same guarantee extends over the whole of the work. Itis also desired to have the company lay asphalt pavement between the tracks, but this they do not think proper to do. ‘The rail- | road company claim that they have no railroad crossing Pennsylvania avenne except at the m- tersection of 7th street. sera or 18, section 5 of the organic act, requires that “when any street railways cross any street or avenue the pavement between the tracks of such railway shall conform to the pavement used upon stich street or avenue, aud the companies owning those intersecting rail- roads shall pay for such pavements,” &c. The captain says that the Washington and Georgetown railroad company crosses many other streets all the way from Ist to 17th streets, which are mostly paved with asphalt, and he is of the opinion that the Com- missioners are required to see that the space between the tracks of the Washington and Georgetown railroad company at these street intersections conform to the pavement on the street intersected. Major Raymond has referred the captain's letter to the attorney of the District for his opinion as to whether it will be proper in re- surfacing Pennsylvania avenue to pave all street intersections between the tracks with the same character of pavement that is now on the intersected streets, and as to whether it is not the duty of the Commissioners to require this to be done in such a case as this, where the tracks and the spaces between the tracks will require to be repaved. ————— Cable Roads in Other Cities. DIRECTORS OF THE WASHINGTON AND GEORGETOWN RAILROAD GOING ON A TOUR OF INSPECTION. Mr. Glover, Mr. Riley and other members of the board of directors of the Washington and Georgetown Railroad company will leave to- morrow on a tour of inspection to several of the cities where the cable road is in operation. They will visit Chicago, Kansas City, Omaha and Denver, and learn what are the latest devices and improvements in the construction of such roads, and this knowledge will be utilized in the building of the cable road on 7th street, which the: company proposes to do at once. Post-Office Department Changes. Jas. A. Vi of Maine, has been promoted from a clerkship in the Post-Office department to be appointment clerk of the department. Mr. Vose tilled that position for a number of years prior to the advent of the last adminis- tration. Jas. B. Burnside, of ihe District, pias been promoted from £1,400 to £1,608. Cooker F, Clarkson, of Iowa, the son of the First Assistant Postmaster-General, has beem appointed private secretary to his father. rl Wm. B. Hester, of California, has been pro- moted from 2900 to 31,000. The Lydecker Court-Martial. ITS WORK COMPLETED —SVROULATION AB TO ITS FINDINGS! Major Davis, the ~Judge-ndvocate of the Ly- decker court-martial, is hard at work upon the record of the proct@dings. He expects to be able to report the findings of the court to retary Proctor to-morrow evening. ‘They be sent tothe judge-advocate gencral’s oftice for examination and report, and upon his recommendations the Secretary may form his conclusions and decide whether or not the find- ings of the court shall be approved. Although the formal order of dissolution has not yet been made, and will not be until the findings of the court have been finally acted upon, it is understood that no other business will come z it, and the members will be permitted to return to their stations. In fact, it is under- stood that the members of the court have been already told ver! by the Secretary that they might return to their posts, ‘The trend of opinion at the War department is that the court-has found Major Lydecker guilty of neglect of duty, but that the sen- tence does not amount toa dismissal, A repri- mand is the least that could be done, and it is thought that the sentence will lie between the two, something like a suspension from rank and duty, Says His Place Was Overflowed, AND SUES JAMES DONALD CAMERON AND W. PITT KELLOGG FOR $7,500 Dama: In Circuit Court, Division 2, Justice Mont- gomery, to-day, the case of Edward Me. Queeney against James Donald Cameron, ¥ Pitt Kellogg and others was placed on trial— Mr. E. B. Hay for the plaintiff and Messrs, C. A. Elliott and M. M. Richardson for the defend- ants. Mr. McQueeney has occupied certain property known as lots 1 and 2, section 12, of the Meridian Hill sub-division, on Boundary street and Champlain avenue, opposite the head of 18th street, where he had been engaged as a florist, having his residence on the prem- ises, and he complains that the defendants, in gr ing some of thesuburban property beyond m, failed to provide for carrying off the water and’ dammed up a water course, causing in March of last year an overflow on his property, totally destroying his flowers, putting out the fires in his hot-house, and making a wreck of his property, for which he claims $7,500 dam- ages. i Bar Assocration Vacancies Fit.ep.—At the meeting of the Bar association yesterday the resignation of A.

EE ey BOULANGER STILL SANGUINE, But English Journals Think He Has Committed Political Suicide. Special Cable Dispatch to THe EVENING STAR Loxpox, April 4.—Boulanger’s departure for Brussels is the absolute topic of political dis- cussion to-day, The English journals all write of itasa flight and as equivalent to political suicide. This is quite wrong. A hegira would | more accurately express it. Ihave just seen an old friend of Boulanger’s, who arrived in London last night. He saw Boulanger imme- diately betore the flight. Boulanger said: “The prosecution of me is an Orleans plot. I, there- | ‘ore, alone represent the true republican idea, | My action now will be misconstrued abroad, | but not in France. I have no intention of put- | ting myself into the hands of my unscrupulous enemies; but neither have [ of fleeing France, I shall cross the frontier and wait until the time arrives for me to come forward, I shall very probably go to London.” Prsctiexts ssadllbe WARRANTS FOR CONSPIRACY. Great Excitement Over the Evictions in Iowa. Cuicaco, April 4—A dispatch from Fort | | | Dodge, Iova, says: Warrants were issued yes- | terday for Samuel Heiffner, president of the | Settlers’ union, and a number of other settlers, all charged with conspiracy, a crime punish- able by imprisonment in the penitentiary. | More warrants—probably thirty—will be is- sued to-day and arrests will be commenced, ‘The United States marshal’s posse were foiled yesterday and did not make a single eviction, They returned to Webster City late in the | evening. The greatest excitement prevails here over the issuing of warrants for con- spiracy. The accused are most respected citi- zens, including some ex-county office-holders, Another day in all probability will definitely settle whether or not the settlers can repossess themselves of their lands and whether or not thefmuch feared resistance of the officers in the execution of the law will be made by the settlers, who are open and bold in ‘their threats.

HIS SPEECH SIR CHARLES RUSSELL CONTINUES BEFORE THE COMMISSION, Lonpox, April 4.—Sir Charles Russell con- tinued his speech in behalf of the Parnellites before the Parnell commission to-day. He ex- lained the constitution and objects of the league formed by Mr. Davitt, of which Mr. Parnell was president, and said that of the per- sons constituting the executive of the league only five were connected with secret organiza- tions. The league's appeals, he declared, were based upon the necessities of the farmers, and | were entirely constitutional. They were in- tended to guide the farmers in this distress. He pointed out that Mr. Parnell and his fol- lowers had been villified and misrepresented, like Messrs. Bright and Cobden were in the early days of their reform movement. Sir Charles Russell said that prominent mem- bers of the league were in favor of boycotting, which up to a certain ey they considered to be justifiable and right.

TWO CENTS. | SEVERE WIND STORMS. | Fires also Fanned in Fury — Great Damage to Property. Mrxsearouis, Mrsx., April 4.—During the last two days South Dakota and Minnesota have been swept by a series of windstorms, which have caused hundreds of thousands of dollars damage to property, and several lives | have been lost. The storm started Monday night and swept over a large area south of the Northern Pacific railroad in Dakota and ex- | tending into the southern tiers of counties in this state. The greatest damage has not been caused by wind alone, but in many places fires fanned into fury by the storms have wiped out of existence several small villages and bun- dreds of farmers’ houses, The towns almost completely destroyed are Volin, Olivet, Puka- wana, Lesterville and Mount Vernon, and three or four other villages were badly damaged. At Volin every house in the place except three is | demolished and one hundred people are with | out homes. Lesterville was flattened to the ground, and twenty families are without a roof, | A terrible gale of wind struck Mount Vernon, | and fire started from a small house that was biown over early last night. No human power could stop the fiemes, and in an hour the best portion of the place was ONE GREAT RAGING FIRE. Nearly 200 families are homeless and the loss will foot up $200,000. It is reported that no confirmation has yet been received. Four large elevators and the Milwaukee depot were | destroyed. Near Blunt one man lost 500 head of sheep, which were caught ima prairie fire. Several head of horses were saved by swimming | the river. In many places the crops were covered by the loose sand und dust and will have tobe replanted, Travel was suspended on some lines of road, so great was the force of the wind. The clondsof dust prevented engineers from seeing the track. A report from Gary says the sun was almost totally obscured, and the superstitious thought the | end of the world had come, Farm houses and | barns were swept a and horses and cattle | were burned to death by scores. Near Milbank | fifty head of live stock are reported lost, and the fire has swept over 20 miles of the country, causing mense loss. The storm has abated but the wind is yet high enough to keep the fires burning fiercely, and further heavy losses are almost certain, ‘The damage in Minnesota is much less than in Dakota, as the force of the storm was pretty well spent | before it reached the boundary, } LOSSES IX DAKOTA $2,000,000. A dispatch from Yankton, Dak., sa “The records of the signal office show that during the prevalence of the fires in this region the humidity. was but 7 per cent, a condition of dryness, Sergeant Oswald says, never before attained in this region. The maximum humid- ity is 100; the mean annual humidity here, 70. is shows that the atmosphere was almost devoid of moisture.’ The velocity of the wind was 46 miles an hour. The losses in South Dakota will foot up $2,000,000 at low calcu- lation.” | A Hurricane of Fire. Sr. Pav, Mr April 4.—A Pioneer Press, Lake Benton, M nn., special says: The most devastating prairie fire ever known raged over the prairies west and north of Lake Benton Tuesday. The wind was a hurricane for nearly twenty-four hours and swept the fire along with a resistless force; passing the widest fire breaks as nothing and leaping plowed fields with a bound, it licked up houses, barns, stocks, and in some places human lives. The greatest de- struction of property and loss of life is in Da- kota. Ree Heights, a town west on the North- western road. is almost destroyed. Dempster, a station on the Watertown branch, is reported destroyed. Spaulding’s ranch near there is also reported consumed, Crossing into Lincoln county, over « tract of land comparatively little settled and covered with a heavy growth of grass, it swept on with renewed velocity. It is reported that Henry Kourth, Mr. Berg. G. M. Aivon and others near here Jost nearly all their buildings with contents. FINED FOR STARTING THE FIRE. A Jackson, Minn., special says: The prairie fires prove more general than at first believed. Additional losses are reported from all directions and messengers bring news of stub- born fights to save endangered property. Fires | were raging in every direction. and each | seemed to pursue a distinct course of its own. | The fire which would h: asa, this village from the face of the earth has been traced to its origin, The search culminated in the arrest of James Travnick. When arraigned he plead guilty and was sentenced to pay 5 and costs, or in default thereof sixty days in jail, Mach dissatistaction is — sved about this sentence, Public opinion is that justice bas been too highly tempered with mercy. FORTY HOUSES BURNED IN ONE COUNTY. The Miller (Dakota) correspondent of the Pioneer Press telegrapus: Prairie fires Tues- day night destroyed about forty houses, many barns, a large number of horses and cattle, and left about forty families destitute in the south part of this county. A terrible gale of wind added to the terrors ot the situation, The loss is estimated at $50,000. The county commissioners are in session and will see that no one suffers for the necessaries of life, THE WORST EVER KNOWN. From Huron, Dak., comes the following: No prairie fire in the history of this part of Dakota In this county losses are much less than in the counties west, Half a dozen houses were burned and many settlers lost their bar, some stock, and a large quantity of hay and grain, The wind was from 50 to 60 miles an hour, and sent burning embers over the plowed ground and fire breaks several rods wide, setting fire to everything in their course. The fire came up so rapidly that set- tlers had only time to save themselves, leaving their property to the mercy of the flames. In| Sully and Hughes counties $200,000 worth of property has been destroyed. Near Highmore, Liss Sweeny was burned to death, and near St. Lawrence, Mr. Babcock perished in the flames. Fourteen Buildings Burned. Newson, Nep., April 4.—Fire, ori iting in a butcher-shep, yesterday, burned a whole block of fourteen buildings, including a hotel, | two drug-stores, three groceries, one ware | and one general merchandise store.
