Were they expected to devise some plan for solving the railroad problem or were they to wait for something to turn up? “You needn't wait for the latter,” replied the president, ‘for something is turning up all the time in the case of the railroads.” A practical response to Mr. Warner's question was furnished by Secretary Anderson, who produced a bundle of bills and said that be had there fourteen bills which had been introduced atthe present session in regard to the rail- roads, “You need not say any more,” retorted Mr. Warner with a good-natured laugh, “I feel al- ready as if I needed counrel.” Mr. Anderson, however, went on to say that he had ten bills in regard’ to public buildings and some bills relating to nearly every com- mittee. i In reply to a question the president said the gist Aer reported direstly to the board, and after their reports received the sanction of the board, each committee could present their own matters to Congress. The board then adjourned. ——— HE AIDED BOOTH’S ESCAPE. Why Thomas S. Jones Was Dismissed From the Government Service. Agood many years have passed since the bullet from the pistol of John Wilkes Booth struck Abraham Lincoln dead, but the baneful results of that foul deed are still felt. The latest result is the discharge of Thomas A. Jones, a workman in the gun foundry at the navy yard. The reason given for his dismissal being that Mr. Jones waa one of the men who assisted John Wilkes Booth to escape by ferrying him across the river, No charges of inefticieucy were made and Capt. Folger, who is in charge of the department, says the dismissal was made simply on account of the reason stated above. Mr. Jones comes from Charles county, Md, apd was appointed to a position in the tool room through the influence of Barnes Comp- ton, the Congressman from that district, im February 1887. He has been a satisfactory workman and on the change of administration no change was made in his position. It is claimed, however, that Mr. Mudd, who is now contesting Comptou’s seat, interested himeelf in the matter and that through his statements and Mr. Jones’ admission of the truth of the charge the dismissal took place. ' Mr, Jones lives at 719 12th street southeast, — freely acknowledges the main facts of the story. The Orients Made 24, In spite of the rain on New Year morning quite a crowd of the lovers of foot ball gath- ered back of Lincoln park to witness a contest between the Orients of Capitol Hill and a picked eleven from the Boston dry goods store. The entire game was played in the rain and at the end of the first half it was decided to stop, he score then being 24 to 0 in favor of the Orients, The clerks opened up the game with a dribble to Jacobs, he gaining about five yards, but they soon lost the ball on four unsuccess- ful attempts to gain. The Orients, by a suc- cession of fine runs and good interfering, se- cured their first touchdown in six minutes, from which Campbell kicked a goal. ‘The boys from the Boston house started off with another dribble, but, being unable to gain, soon lost the ball and in five minutes more the Orients had another touch-down, from which Campbell kicked a good angle goal; score 12to0. The next time the clerks started off with a long kick by Ferris, and although they thereby lost the ball they had it well up into tbe Orients’ terri- tory. Good runs by Campbell and Walker soon brought it back, however, and Walker secured the third touch-down. Goal was purposely missed, the ball being punted out. In two minutes another touch-down resulted, no goal; score 20 to 0. The play was again started from the 25-yard line, aud ‘as the dry goods clerks were pretty tired by this time another touch- down soon resulted, making the score 24 to 0, As the rain was still falling it was decided not to play the other half, —— Transfers of Real Estate.
