A Man Arrested for Burglary --Personal Notes from Rockvillo. Correspondence of Taz Evenixa Stax, Rocxviig, Aug. 26, In response to information received here from Maj. Moore, chief of police of Washing- ton, John H. Butler, colored, was arrested at the railroad depot, carried before Justice Mor- gan and committed to jail for a further hear- ing, charged with burglary in the District of Columbia. Butler is a native of this place, but has been living in Georgetown for several years. About four years ago he was sent from here to the house of correction for stealing a pair of shoes at Halpin’s station. Last even- ing Butler was taken to Washington, having declined a hearing. Great interest is manifested among gentle- men in this vicinity owning good roadsters in the county trotting race at the agricultural fair commencing September 4, and each day wit- nesses a crowd on the track training for the final contest, The trotters most prominent in the contest thus far are those of Messrs, D, H.

The following letter was addressed to Presi- dent Hurt of the Washington and Georgetown railroad company this afternoon by Dr. Tin- dall, secretary to the District Commissioners: Str: I am directed by the Commissioners of — — of Columbia to call your — ion © very slow progress ing in the reconstruction of the tracks Georgetown railroad on Pennsylvania avenue from Ist to 15th streets, In order that the resurfacing of the avenue =, be completed not later than October 5, it will be necessary that your a should 1 at least $260 feet per doy of double track, bony oe The Commissioners instruct me to say that they desire the company to do this and in case of failure the work will be done by the District and charged to the company. Your attention is also invited to an order of the Commissioners dated April 19, 1889, which requires the laying of Belgian block pavement between the rails and tracks in ac- cordance with District specifications. Some of the pavement laid by your company does not conform to this order, All such work will be removed and replaced at the ex- pense of the company. An inspector will be placed upon the work to see that it is roperly done hereafter.” WHAT PRESIDENT HURT SAYS. ‘\am aware,” said President Hurt of the Washington and Georgetown railroad company to a Srap reporter today, ‘of the charges against the Washington and Georgetown rail- road company as to dereliction in doing the work of reconstructing the road way of the company on Pennsylvania avenue, but these charges are made without foundation or cause. I do not consider the work has been at all _ delayed, but, on the — other hand, think that, since the hour it was begun, rapid progress has been made each day. Work was begun on the 5th of August, and not a day has been lost, with the exception of the intervening Sundays, Some one seems to desire to belittle our efforts,” continued Mr. Hurt, “but I have on file official letters show- ing my willingness to begin operations in re- constructing the road from ist street to 17th street long before we were furnished the data as to the change of grades which would enable us to go to work.” WAITING FOR THE “GRADES.” Mr. Hurt replied to a communication from | Capt. Symons, dated March 25, in which that venue was to be resurfaced and in all proba of the street would be changed. his letter expressed a willingness to begin the work then and asked for grade sheets, Capt. Symons stated that the grade sheets could not be given him, and as the appropriations were not available until after July 1 the company could not begin the work until after that time, as it would hardly do to have the track raised above the existing pavement during all the in- tervening time. ‘So you see,” remarked Presi- dent Hurt, “had I been allowed to do as I de- sired the entire section could have easily have been completed by October 1 and without much inconvenience to travel, for the grade of the street was not changed.” THE SMALL FORCE OF PAVERS, “Why is it,” asked the reporter, ‘‘that so small a force of pavers is at work?” | “Simply because of the scarcity of pavers,” replied Mr. Hurt. “Could a greater number be employed the company would be only too glad to secure them. We would be glad jf the services of forty pavers could be had.” Mr. Hurt also spoke of the inability of the | t force of fag! and other laborers to apace with the forces of two of the largest mntractors in the country. Yet he expressed the opinion that the rails would be laid and ready for travel by the 1st of October, though there was no law compelling the company to do | 80. He said there were about 12,000 yards of stone paving to be laid between the tracks and | the utmoss a man bay oe with the inter- ferences necessary when the cars are running is about 30 yards a day, “I_was told by the boss paver,” remarked Mr. Hurt, “that on Monday he would have at -work a force of ten experienced pavers,” THE SITUATION TODAY. There was less dust floating around than there was yesterday, but the quantity of dis- satisfaction was somewhat greater. It was very evident that the Washington and George- town _ rail company was way of the contractor, or Major Cran- ford’s force would be at work. The Barber asphalt company, which has the con- tract from 6th street up to the capitol grounds, is also waiting for the railroad company. The men and materials are ready to be put into active operation at any time, but unless the railroad company's contractor increases his force the Barber contract will not be com- menced for a month or more. a AT 8ST.
