It is said there were three propositions presented for consideration, but their terms have not yet been made known. The conferees adjourned to meet again tomor- row morning. The House conferees brought to the meeting a copy of the bill as it passed that body and this formed the basis of whatever discussion took place.

Ward, colored, was tried be- fore Justice Bradley, in the Crimmal Court, on the charge of obtaining money by false pre- tenses in February tast from Sarah Burton, Mr. J. P. Jordon for the defendant. It is alleged that he asked for loans of $2and €8 by claiming to have money in the savings bank, but that having lost his book he could not draw his money, and gave her also an affidavit stating that be had 275in bank. This was shown to be false, his balance being twenty-five centson an account opened Feb- ruary 27. Ward took the stand and testified that he had lived here since 1865; that he became ac- quainted with Mra, Burton in February last; that she suggested that he marry her to hide her shame, and that the money business was proposed by her to enable him to geta divorce from bis’ wife = 80s he ~——coulld marry her; that he knew what he was doing and did not know that she was going to drive him to the wall; that he never said anything about the bank account till he gotthe money. He protested that he was act- ing square. On cross-examination Ward did not remem- ber when he was sent to the penitentiary for the same kind of offense. He was not tried a second time, but plead guilty to eave time and expense. The second time was for collecting money to bury adead wife. When he returned from the penitentiary he called on Mr. Lipscomb and got some good advice and a quarter. This was not the quarter in the bank. He had put a quarter in the bank expecting to ada to it, but did not have a chance, He acknowledged that he had made an affi- davit of having $75 in bank and it was a lie. The first $3 went to Mr. Jordon to get the di- vorce and he got $19 more. Mrs. Burton was recalled in rebuttal and testified that she never heard of the divorce till today. FOUR YEARS IN THE PENITENTIARY. The jury found a verdict of guilty and the court imposed a sef@ence of four years in the Albany penitentiary. This seemed to please the defendant, and as he left the court he said to Mr. Lipscomb, “I got off better than I thought.” ———___— HOW THEY WANT TO CELEBRATE. The President Asked to Sign the Wy- oming Bill on the Fourth. The National American Woman Suffrage As- sociation, through Jane H. Spofford, its ireas- urer, and the National Woman's Christian Tem- perance Union, through Ada M. Bittenbender, its superintendent of legislation and petitions, called upon the President today and asked him to sign the bill providing for the admission of the state of Wyoming into the Union on the Fourth of July. The Wyoming bill provides for political equality without distinction of sex. The advocates of woman suffrage say that they desire to celebrate the Fourth of July in honor of this beginming of a true republic in connec- tion with ‘the events for which the day is a commemorated.

The Vote on the Election Bill Induces a Large Attendance. Both parties have been working hard to get all their men in the House today, and as a re- su’t there was a very large attendance, Ten of the twenty-one republicans who were absent Yesterday returned this morning, and all but seven of the democrats who were absent are either here or have reported by wire that they will be here in time to vote. The seven who cannot return are paired un- der an agreement that the pairs shall not be trausferable,so that their absence will make?no difference. THE DEMOCRATS ARE DISGUSTED and indignant at the action of members of their party who were not on hand to vote at acritical ™moment yesterday. Their hope of the bill ii the House making amendments which would drive republican votes from the bill. | When the opportunity came yesterday men who could easily have been present found at- tractions that kept them elsewhere. During the hours pending the final vote there was evidence of auxicty and tremendous excitement on both sides, which it was di fti- cuit to restrain, MR, HAZELTON DECLINED TO SIGN. The Charges Against Police Officers Again in Col. Robert’s Hands. Mr. Hazelton, attorney for the District, sent letter to Commissioner Robert yesterday in which Col. Robert desired him to sign in caso Maj. Moore declined to do so, Mr. Hazelton says that the regulations would require him to swear to the charges if he signed them, which he cannot do, as he has no | personal knowledge of the statements made, He suggests that the charges can be signed by & Commissioner without taking oath to them. He adds: “But in questions of this kind it seems to me that the sanction of at least a majority of the board of Commissioners should be given to the institution of such proceedings when they emanate from any one of its mem- bers, as they are grave and important, and must, in the end, to be of any effect, fall under the action and jurisdiction of at least a major- ity of the board, “I do not presume at this time to pass cither upon the form or the merits of the charges sub- mitted for my signature, as that would be going beyond the scope of your verbal request, and in declining to sign the charges I do so very respectfully, as-you yourself see that the law furnishes a good and sufficient reason for so doing. I withhold the papers subject to your further order.” ‘This morning an assistant from the attorney called on Commissioner Robert and handed him all the papers in the case, It is under- stood that the Commissioners will decide at their meeting this afternoon what they are Koing to do. —_——-——_ DISTRICT GOVERNMENT. THRE DISTRICT TELEGRAPH SERVICE. Several days ago the Commissioners received 8 letter from E. D, Clapp in which he remarks that there has been no one employed im the District telegraph and telephone office compe- tent to make the improvements and repairs Recessary to the proper maintenance of the service, He charges thatthe man called the expert repair man is not an expert. except in line work, a8 he knows nothing of instrument work and bas no facilities for such work. The matter was referred to Superiutendent Miles, who says that it is a fact that when in- struments need repairs they are sent to a competent mechanic who has the necessary facilities for doing such work, and that in view of the fact that skilled mechanic could not do this work without expensive machinery he does not see the necessity of employing a machinist, Speaking of the improvement of the service, Mr. Miles says that Mr. Clapp con- structed an improved switch board mai hisown plan, but that it was never used for want of sufficient funds, 18 THERE A COAL COMBINATION? The Commissioners today took up the bids forfurnishing the District with general eap- lies and disposed of one class by rejecting all Fide cave cons, ‘This was under clase 16, fuel. ‘The prices presented gave rise to a suspicion thata combine had been formed. Commis- sioner Hine yesterday afternoon visited the In- terior Department and found that in several cases the bids for coal there were considerably lower than the bids presented at the District building forthe same coal. In view of that the Commissioners rejected all bids save the one of Mayfield & Heiston for Cumberland coal at #319 per ton, which they accepted. POLICE CHANGES, The Commissioners today promoted Pri vate H. H. Hensey of the police force to be private of the second class vice Private C. W. O'Neil, resigned, and appointed David E. Langley a first-class private vice Hensey, promoted. PROF. COGSWELL'S DRINKING FOUNTAIN. The Commissioners have received a leiter from Grand Chief Templar A. Kalstrom in which he calls attention to the fact that a few years ago Prof. Cogswell, a member of the Independent Order of Good Tem- piars, presented the District with » beautiful drinking fountain, at the intersection of Penn- sylvania avenue and 7th street. He asks that early steps be taken to connect it with the water supply. TO PROTECT THE DISTRICT CARLES, The Commissioners have received a letter from the superintendent of the telegraph and telephone service in which he reports that on several occasions persons engaged iu opening the streets have injured the undergroand cables of the department. As a precautionary measure he recommends that this office be notified whenever a permit is granted for open- ing the streets, asthe damage to th cables isaserious matter, for the cables meclves are expensive and every ent made in them greatly impairs their usefulness. The Com- missioners will grant his request. Ratcliffe, Darr & Co., auctioneers, sold yes- terday afternoon lot 52, square 73, situated on L street between 2ist and 22d northwest, to W. H.

It was substantially as follows; “In- jSsmuch as the law does not assign special duties to the Engineer Commissioner, except- ing as to the water department, which is also under the control of the board of Com- missioners, and the duties which are assigned j to the two officers of the enginoer corps de- tailed to assist him involve the expenditure of nearly all the funds about which a dispute cam Probably arise as to the validity of the ex- Penditure, it seems but right that said assiet- ants should be assigned as assistants to the Commissioners, instead of to ope Commissioner: only. The majority of Commissioners have now no right to call upon said assistants even for in- formation, and can give them no directions con corning District work. The inconvenience of this condition is frequently very great, Iteab- surdity ss evident im the light of the fact thet the Commissioners appointed from civil life alone give bonds for the legal expenditare of all appropriations for District purposes.” ‘The matter will be discussed at the board session this afternoon, and « recommendation approving Mr. Douglass’ view passed and sub- mitted to Congress for their action This afternoon Col. Robert called on the chief engineer of the army and discussed the matter at length. THE ENGINE Atthe board m yester sioner Hine also raised the question of the powers of the Engineer Commissioner.
