The Water Higher Than Ever Known Before and Worse to Come. A special bulletin from the signal office to- day says: ‘ILOCAL LEGISLATION. DistRicT ‘BILLS IN THE SENATE. Several of them Passed Today. OVERHEAD WIRES DISCUSSED. Sharp Debate on the Eckingion and Soldiers’ Home Railroad Bill. PRIVATE BILL DAY IN THE HOUSE. —>—— THE SENATE, DISTRICT BILLS PASSED, ‘The House bill changing the rate of interest on arrearages of general and special taxes due to the District of Columbia to six per cent, if paid before June 30, 1890, was reported and passed; also House bill prescribing times for sales and notices of sales in the District of Co- lumbia tor overdue taxes, The House amendments to the Senate bills to vest in the vestry of Christ church parish the title to a certain square of ground in Wash- ington city, and for the change of route and termini of the Anacostia Street railroad were concurred in. These bills have now passed both houses, . THE ECKINGTON RAILROAD BILL, The House amendment to Senate bill to amend the charter of the Eckington and Sol- diers’ Home railroad company was taken up and discussed, Messrs. Vest and Hale arguing against the permission of overhead wires as dangerous to life and Mr. Harris asserting that aforce of 500 volts (which was sufficient for bags cht badd was inocuous, Mr. Vest moved an amendment providing that no overhead wires should be used within the city limits. Mr. Harris made the point of order that the body of the bill cbald not now be amended, but the point was overruled and the amend- meut was received, ELECTRIC RAILROADS DISCUSSED. Mr. Sherman oppoaed the amendment. He spoke of the existing line as the most beautiful specimen of electric railroad in the United States, and said that the extension for which the bill provided was in the suburbs, except as bed beet squares, where there were scarcely any muildings, Mr. Hale said that these street railroad en- terprises were not called fur by the inhabitants of any section, either in the populated part of the city or the suburbs, The plan was for a company or an individual to purchase available land outside the populated parts and scek to open these lands by getting Congress to charter an electric railway. Mr. Paddock spoke of an electric street railroad that had been built in Omaha a year ago, and said that, although there had been much opposition to it at the time, there was not @ citizen of Omaha now who would not be gisd to have an electric line on every street in the city. There had not been a single acci- dent on that road, MR. EDMUNDS ON OVERHEAD WIRES. Mr. Edmunds argued in suppoit of the amendment. He spoke of the whole thing asa land speculation, so as to make suburban lands worth more, while there was not one-fourth of the city filled up witbin its boundaries. That was the fact about its. Therefore there ought not to be any very great public urgency in allowing the company to put up wires that were dan- gerous to human life. As to North Capitol street, on which the extension was to be built, ‘and which had been repre- sented as a lovely rural place, it was, in its original design and present outlines, perhare the noblest avenue in the whole trict of Columbia and had only failed to be populated by persons of wealth and leisure because. of the nuisance of the Balti- more and Ohio railroad, whose yards oceupied much of the avenue, He offered o substitute for Mr. Vest’s amendment (and the latter accepted it) providing that the right of the company to erect or use overhead wires within the District of Columbia should abso- ey cease and terminate on the Ist of July, i Mr. Paddock said that he knew nothing whatever of the railroad in question and had only thought it his duty to give his testimony as to the electric railway in Omaha, MR. HARRIS SAYS THERE 18 NO DANGER IN THE WIRES. Mr. Harris said that the electric power used by the company had never exceeded 400 volts; and that there was no danger to animal life from that force; that for the year and a half. which the company had been in oper- ation no accident had occurred; and , that in the city of Boston (where more electri- cal experiments had been made than in any any other city) authority had been given about @ year ago to erect overhead wires on all the street railways within the limits of the city. Mr. Edmunds asked Mr. Harris whether he did not know that the city of Boston had been governed for some time (as many ple there thought) much as New York city had been governed some years ago. So that the getting rs right from that municipality to erect over- head wires tor street railways did not demon- strate the safety of that system. Mr. Harris took it for granted that there was no very great alurm in Boston as to the danger of the system, or there would be some clamor heard from the citizens, but there was no such claim, THE VALUE OF STREET RAILROAD FRANCHISES. Mr. Manderson spoke of the great value of street railway franchises, and suggested that the proper method was not to permit parties who had speculative interests in outside real — estate to dictate lines of roads by which their real estate could be brought into market, but that there should be some demand from the suburban popula- tion along the proposed route on the Commis- sioners of the District or on Congress, Then the franchise should be granted to those who were ready to pay most for it, As it was now those were operated: to the immense Rey of a few individuals. He concurred with his colleague’s remarks as to the electric road in Omaha, his belief that the best systemof street railways was the electric system, ‘MR, VEST QUESTIONED THE STATEMENT) as to a force of five hundred voits not being dangerous to human life and cited against it an article written by Mr. Westinghouse and published in the North American Review to the effect that a force of two hundred volts. was dangerous to human life. He also referred to the electric street rail- roads in Knnsus City and Des Moines as tail- ures and nuisances, so that, he said, the case of the one in Omaha proved no! 4 He declared his belief that the cable system ‘was superior to any other and said that if Con- greus did its duty pracpeqgonmed roe street ilway compan’ u strict adopt nur, ‘batt poreesedes ‘himeelf as vt ai the amendment because he did regard overhend wires as dangerous, but he was also to the bill as being merely ive wi it any public necessity back of MR. EDMUNDS’ AMENDMENT AGREED To. The question was taken on Mr, Edm amendment and it was agteed to, Yeas, A mays, 13. The House amendment, as thus amended, was hgreed to, ¥ URGENT DEFICIENCS BULI. Mr. Hale, from the committee on tions, reported the urgent & bill, and said that he would call it up for action Monday. t TER BLAIR EDUCATIONAL BULL was taken up at 2:15 as ‘the un@hished ness,” and Mr, Telier addressed the Senate Support of it, : x ff Nominations Today. The President today sent to the Senate the following nominations: Jno, A. Reynolds, postmaster at Rochester, NY, George MacKay, civil engineer in the navy. Edward Strong bogert of New York, aacist ‘ant surgeon in the navy. Additional Second ‘Lieut. W. T. Lassiter, fourth artillery, second lieutenant fifth artil- lery, THE HOUSE, Mr. Perkins (Ark.) stated that an erroneous impression had gone out that according to the Provisions of the Oklahoma bill passed yester- day the Cherokee outiet had been deciared Open to settlement under the homestead laws. Under the provisions of the bill the Cherokee outlet was not open to settlement, The state- ment should have been that the public land strip—not the Cherokee outlet—had been Opened tosettle ment, The Cherokee outlet, he said, was embraced within the limits of the new territory and was not open to settlement under the homestead law. The House then went into the committee of the whole—Mr. Allen (Mich.) in the chair—on bi ene ges having ie Emery bill was taken up and, havi been amended by reducing the appropriation.to 50.000, was laid aside with a favorable recom- mendation. BILL TO RETIRE GEN. FREMONT. The next bill was one authorizing the Presi- dent to retire Gen. J. C. Fremont with the rank of major general. Mr. Kilgore (Tex.) offered an amendment for | the retirement of Gen. Fremont with the rank of brigadier general, Mr. Spinola (N.Y.) opposed the amendment. To adopt it would be almost an insult ‘9 a gal— jant soldier. Let Congressqgive this man the grade he held, and held so honorably, in the regular army of his country, * MR. DICK TELLS HIS STORY. He Thinks He Was Entrapped by Dr. Condory and His Pretty Wife. Wine suppers, two checks, an arrest, divorce Proceedings and a suit for alienating the affeo- tions of a wife were all followed by charges of “vagrancy and suspicion” against Dr. Vilmos Condory and his wife, Golda Condory, The cases were called in the Police Court today and many persons were present to see the defendants and hear the evidence, which it was thought would be of @ sensational character. Messra. John N. Oliver and Lewis Cochran, the latter of the Attorney General's office, appeared for the} woman and Mr, D, W. Glassie appeared for the doctor, Mr. Dumont was present as the prosecuting officer and was assisted by Mr. C. Maurice Smith, After some discussion as to the infor- mation in the cases the charge against the doctor was called first, DR. CONDORY'S LANDLADY, Mrs. L. Candler was the first witness called, and she testified that she has known the doctor wince January 1. He lived in her house about three weeks in January. She rented him and his wife the house for €80 per month, but she heard so much about them that she changed her mind and would not let them have the house. The doctor then said he would enter suit against her for damages. The evidence was exciuded because it had no bearing on the charge. Tn statin his objection to the court Mr. Glassie said that his client had been treated in a scandalous manner in some papers, and be did not think that such evidence should be heard in court, Witness said that defendant told her he was a doctor and was here for the purpose of mak- ing money. He told her that was a Hunge- rian and was a specialist. On cross-examina- | tion she said that the doctor hada sign on his office. MR. DICK THINKS HE WAS TRAPPED. Ewell A. Dick, the next witness, said he was a member of the bar and was a patent attorney at present. The doctor, he said, called at witness’ office and invited him to call and see him. Witness accepted his invitation. and called the following Friday. When he called the doctor said he had busi- ness that took him down in the city, but that his wife would entertain him. Witness re- mained there a while and left. after receiving au invitation to take supper there some even- ing. On the 3d of March he went to the house and Mrs, Condory told bim that her hus- band was in Baltimore. She told him that supper had been prepared upstairs, and he went up with her. After describing the scene that followed he said the doctor came in, said something which he (Dick) could not under- stand and then invited witness down to settle the matter. When they arrived down stairs the doctor presented two notes, one for $2,000 and the other for $5,000, and threatened to kill witness if he did not sign the notes. He signed them. IT SEEMED LIKE A YEAR TO HIM. “How long were you in the house?” asked the judge. “Fifteen minutes,” replied witness, it seemed like a year to me.” “Did you eat = supper?” “Yes, I believe Late a piece of chicken and drank # glass of wine.” “When the doctor entered the room,” con- tinued Mr. Dick. “I knew it was a blackmailing scheme and I picked up my hat and coat and / started out.” Witness afterward received a note from the doctor and several visits from the woman. The latter suggested that witness give her 82,500 and she would go to Enrope, as she “gidn’t care for the old man anyhow,” but witness thought as Nellie Bly had gone around the world for that anfount the figure was a little high for a trip to Europe. On crose-examination witnesss said he bad been served with papers in a civil suit and seen by the papers that hie name was mentioned in the divorce proceedings, Witness met Mra Condory at different places by me Gee tand the letters or notes that he sent to her he ad- dressed as ‘Dear Golla” or ‘Dear Gol.” Sometimes he addressed the letters to Mrs. Condory and at other times as Mrs. Roberta. Amid many objections witness continued his t story and told uf the various meetings between the woman and himself and of the hot punches , they drank at a restaurant. THE LETTERS PRODUCED. Mr. Glassie produced letters which witness identified as having been sert to the woman, dnd said, as was expressed in one of the letters, that he took the champague to the house with him, The doctor, he said, was fond of sour wines, but his wife was not fond of them. At this juncture the court suggested that the case be suspended for awhile until the cases | of persons awaiting in the dock could be dis- | posed. The witnesses in the case were excused until T o'clock tonight, “but | Reigart, who died suddenly while at » banquet in Marysville, Ky., Wednesday evening, will be sent to this city.

THE MISSISSIPPI FLOOD. The River Has Gone Down at New Or- leans and There is Hope of Safety. New Oneaxs, March 14.—The government gauge at 7:30 a.m. reads 16.6 feet—e fall of .4 from the highest point reached yesterday after- noon. The streste bere this morning are free of overflow water along the river front, except at St Peter's street, and there the flow will eoon be stopped. It rained slowly all night and is drizzling this morning. ‘Water is running over the levee pretty freely at 3d, 4th, 6th, 8th, Toledano, Sarapaetu and Btate streets.
