AND 0. CANAL DECISION. ‘The Disposition to Be Made of the $10,000 the Trustees’ Hands. A dispatch to the Baltimore Sun from Ha- gerstown, Md., states that Judge Alvey has filed an opinion in the canal eases with refer- ence to the disposition of the $10,000 in the hands of the trustees of the bonds of 1878. The petition concerning this matter was filed in court some time ago. The $10,000 wore paid by the United States government for canal property condemned for the use of the govern- ment in the District of Columbia. Of the $10,000 the sam of 22,000 was paid out for counsel fees at the time of the condemnation, leaving in the hands of the treasurer $8,000. ‘The court's order allows the trustees a com- mission of 5 per cent on the $10,000 and the Payment of the $2,000 counsel fees in the con- demnation case of the United States govern- ment versus the canal company in the Dis- trict of Columbia. It further allows, the pay- ment of the retainer's fee of $1,000 and the further fee of 2,000 to the counsel for arguing the canal cases in that court, in the District of Columbia and in the court of appeals. The balance of the $10,000, together with any in- terest that may have accrued thereon after the payment of the costs of the proceedings for ringing in the fund and for distribution, the court orders to be paid over to the trustees for the bondholders of 1844, who are subro- gated to the rights of the bondholders of -1878, the ‘money to be applied and credited on un- paid interest coupons attached to the last men- tioned Loud. ———— ‘That Temporary Danenhower Bridge.

At that hour ke expected all members of his family to be in the Louse. although he is a member of the sick committee of the society and is sometimes de- tAined at the houses of sick members.

To the Editor of The Evening Star: Several times recently the wheels of light vehicles have become jammed in the slots of the cable railway on 14th street extended. ‘The slots are irregular in width and at some points very wide, and they are doubly dangerous be- cause the impression prevails that they are too narrow to admit wheels. Last evening the rear vel of a buggs driven by a lady went into the slot nearly te the hub and stuck fast. A seri- ous accident might have resulted had the horse not been # quiet on x ees Fined for Fast Driving. Frank Thomas, a colored boy who drives a brick cert for the Washington Brick Machine Company, was complained against in the Police Court today for fast driving. Policeman Me- Grath arrested the boy, who was driving a mule at the time. Mr. Holbrook of the brick company appeared to commend the officer's action and sail’ that the company had done everything in its power to prevent carelessness and fast driving on the part of its employes, and unless something is done to prevent it, he said, more persons are likely to get injured in the future than in the past He suid that the company had just set- lied a bill for damages and he was glad to see that the outicers were looking sfter the drivers to make them obey the law. The drivers, be said, are encouraged to take good care of their teams and premiums are given for the best cared-or aulmals.

THE LIGHT BATTERY'S MARCH. They Started for Bay Ridge ata Very Early Hour This Morning. Early this morning, while most of the good citizens of Washington were sound asleep in their beds, a small but very wide-awake body of ‘National Guardsmen started out on their march to Bay Ridge. Last night saw the armory of Light Battery A, on New York avenue, filled with industrious. artillerymen preparing for their long-antici- pated campaign. To msurg the early attend- ance of every man the battery was ordered into camp at the armory, and at 10 o'¢lock assembly was blown, followed by roll call Tattoo and tape came in their natural order, and in a very short time the building was as quiet as coun- ty gravevard. ee . guard was mount Preserve quiet, order that avery one could geta night's sleep. At 3:30 a.m. the lively notes of reveille, is suing from Trumpeter Fuller's bugle, started the sleepers, and in a few minutes men were marched out for breakfast. put every one in good humor, and on returning to the armory the work of running out the guns, harnessing and hitching was done in quick About 5 o'clock the bai pulled out, mounted, armed and equipped, for the march. The outfit consists of thirty-five men, under command. of First Lieut. Albert Robbins and Second Lieuts. Winthrop Alexander aud G. W. Forsberg, two Gatling guns and limbers, two caissons, one baggage wagon, nine saddle and eighteen draught horses, The men are ‘equipped for the march in fatigue uniform with campaign hate, which will probably lose some of their newness before the battery returns. A report reached town last night that tho bridge over the Patuxent river at Queen Anno had been carried away by the high water caused by recent rains, which, if true, will necessitate a change of route, the crossing being made at Governor's bridge, four miles farther up. Another day's march will take the battery to Hay Ridge, where it will say five or sixdavs, the return being made in two days, The start will be msde at 4 o'clock each morning, so that the strain on the horses will not be so great. Dinner will-be eaten while the battery 4s on the march. At Bay Ridge the boys will eat at the hotel and sleep in their tents, which have already been sent from Fort Washington, where they were stored. and sent ahead by rail. Gen. Ordway has detailed Second Lieut. ich, Sergt. Heinecke, Corp. Boyle and Privates Pierce and Verdi, with an ambulance, te accompany the batters. While at Bay Ridge the boys will be visited by the engineer corps of the National Guard, which will spenda day. —_._—__. THE CUURTS, Covat rm Grxerat se Judges Hagner and ‘Brad United States agt. G.

On motion of Justice Armstrong the association refused to make the recommendations. An ex- tension of sewers was asked—one to follow the Harrison street fromMinnesota ige street; one along Nichols avenue and Monroe street und one along Jetfer- son street from Monroe to Green's Hill.

Business men interested in shipping and river matters are talking of the proposed con- struction of a temporary bridge across the Potomac to Arlington. Most of them think that nothing will ever come of the proposition. If anything should Georgetown's citizens will fight the project vigorously. They have striven for years, they say, to have the bridge removed or replaced by a higher struc- ture, as at every fi t it backs the river w) and causes it to overtiow their wharves ani property, aud they will not stand idle now and seo a new structure put across the river which they believe would be a greater obstruction than the Long bridge.
