THE UNIVERSITY CLUB. Decision Against Amalgamation With the Meridian Club. At a meeting of the members of the Uni- versity Club held at the Arlington last evening, Mr. John H. Voorhees presiding, after a long discussion upon the report of the conference committee on the proposed amalgamation of the Meridian Club, it was voted to discharge the committee, as it seemed evident, from the spirit manifested, that any attempted union under the circumstances would only result in failure. The club then adjourned and will go to work later in the season on its original basis. prorenticrn es sende emis ‘Working Women Celebrating.

He was on the stand giving evidence against Mrs, Emma Ruckert, who was charged with keeping an unlicensed bar, When the officer started to tell his story to the court he was staring at the defendant, whereupon Mr, Bhiltington remarked to him: “Don’t look at ‘Mré: ‘Rackert so hard; look at the court.” ‘du'site so pretty,” said Bradley, addrese- at I'll look at you.” “What did you say?” inquired Mr. Shilling- ton. Bradley repeated it. “Where do you think you are?” asked the court of Bradley. “In court,” was the reply. “If you ever repeat such language in this court,” said the judge, “‘you will have to pay a fine of #20, and I don’t know but what you should be made to pay it now.” After hearing the testimony the case against Mrs. Ruckert was dismissed, a Robbed While Asleep.

The President Refuses to Stay the Exe- oution Fixed for Next Thursday. The President has refused to interfere with the course of justice in the case of Benjamin Hawkins, colored, convicted of murder and sentenced to be hung next Thursday at the District jail, The President was waited on this morning by s delegation of colored men in behalf of Hawkins, consisting of Revs. W. J. Howard and John Roberts, also by Mr. 8S. A. Etchinson, the former owner of the condemned man. The President received them courte- ously and said that he would give the case his most careful attention. THE PRESIDENT'S INDORSEMENT. An hour or so after they had gone he sent out the following indorsement to be placed on the application for pardon: is we carefully examined this case and cannot find anything that would justify exec- utive interposition. The killing was conf the weapon used was deadly in character, ani instantly so, as used, the threat that the deceased wouid go in the front door or not at all, the fact that the knife needed to be opened before the stroke, that the victim was a woman and other circumstances show the pur- ose es killing and “the malice afore- ag! HISTORY OF THE CASE. Hawkins was sentenced on the Ist of last June tobe hanged August 80, 1889, but was respited until April 29. Afew days before that date the President granted a further respite of thirty days in order to allow the application for ardon to be made in proper form. The day lor the execution is Thursday of next week. It was originally set for Friday the 30th, but was changed to the day named in order to avoid having the execution on Decoration day. Hawkins was not affected when his spiritual advisers—the Rev. Roberts and Howard—in- formed him this afternoon of the President's action. He said he was fully prepared to meet his fate, and requested the preachers to sing his favorite hymn, ‘(Nearer My God to Thee.” INTERCONTINENTAL RAILWAY. Bill Providing for the Survey of a Track to Connect the Americas. Representative McCreary of Kentucky today introduced a bill to provide for survey to be made to encourage the construction of an inter- continental railway to connect North andSouth America, The bill authorizes the President to invite the several governments of Mexico, Central and South America to co-operate with this government in the appointment of an international commission to examine the possible routes, costs and advantages and to make a proper survey for a railway between these southern republics and the United States. ‘This intercontinental commission of engineers shall meet in Washington as soon as practica- ble, to be composed of not more than three engineers from each nation. The expenses incident to the surveys, salaries of commis- sioners, &c., are to be assumed by the nations accepting the proposition. Sixty-five thousand dollars are appropriated by the bill to covor _ a eecenon of expenses due by the United 8, ee THE CORCORAN CADET CORPS. Their Troubles Taken into Court—A Bill in Equity Filed. Today Thomas M. Fields and Albert Sellers, for W. F. Morrow and thirty-three others, filed a bill in equity against Eugene C. Edwards, Chas. A. Meyer, Carl Volten and G. T.

Senator Gorman Thinks Washington Can Learn from Baltimore’s Experience. The friends of the District are very hopeful of getting reconsideration of the vote by which the Rock Creek Park bill was defeated on the last District day and of securing the passage of the bill, The matter comes up in the regular order on Monday, District day, and the voto will be taken on Mr. Hemphill’s motion to reconsider, without discussion, Something must be done with Rock Creek. It must be preserved to the | District to the exclusion of private or business occupation, or it must be made into an open sewer. If manufactories or private dwellings are permitted to occupy the slop- ing banks of the creek it will be impossible to connect therewith the sewer- of the city and all the sewerage from that jl re must empty into the creek, The creek | will then have to be walled inand made a | sewer. Aside from the sanitary consideration, | those who think of only the cost of the work | are confronted with the fact that it will cost | several times as much money to make the | creek into a sewer as it will to preserve the | creek and valley as a park. The House has to choose between a “Wissahickon” and a “Jones Falls.” The “Jones Falls” of Baltimore fur- nishes a good example of the expenses and disadvantages of making a creek into an open sewer. SENATOR GORMAN'S VIEW OF IT. Speaking to a Star reporter today Senator | Gorman said: “It will never do to convert Rock Creek into asewer. We have had our experience in that line in Baltimore. You want to preserve Rock Creek valley from private occupation and keep the waters free from sewage. Baltimore has creek running through the city and the short- sightedness of the corporation in not keeping its banks free from private occupation is re- gretted by the people of that city. Twent; years ago it was required of the property hold. ers along the border of the creek to take care of that part upon which their property abutted. | Later it became evident that the corporation must take charge of the whole matter and ex- | pend money to keep it within its bounds and to wi it ip as a sewer since it wes to be used as such. Two and a_ half million dollars was appropriated, and all but $28,000 of this has been ore d ing the sides fo: out two miles and putting up bridges. It is still but s foul open sewer in great part. As the city extends the walls of the creek will have to be extended for a greater distance, and to arch it is impractica- ble on accountof the immense cost of such a work. The walling and bridging, you see, has cost us about $1,250,000 per mile. There are eight miles of Rock Creek within the limits of the District of Columbia, and, on account of the many windings of the stream, the work might bo more expensive. It would cost about $10,000,- 000 to wall in Rock Creek, and then it would be afoul open sewer threatening the health of that section of the city and depreciating values. 4 PARK INSTEAD OF A SEWER, “To preserve the valley and creek for park purposes will cost about $1,200,000, to be paid from the Treasury and by private parties, Washington can now get a magnificent park for what it cost Baltimore to wall up one mile of its creek. This, besides adding to the beauty and health of the city and increasing the taxa- ble value of property, will save the city and the government from the immense expenses which mvet result from the occupation of this valley by dwellings or factories, Every dwell- ing that is erected on the Rock Creek slope must empty ite sewage into Rock creek. It will cost more to preserve a nuisance than it will to have a beautiful ark. Congress may duplicate Jones Falls of Baltimo re or the Wissahickon of Philadelphia, ‘The latter will c War Department Changes. Isaac W. Brewer of New York, appointed clerk 900, signal office.
