P gs A DESERTED HUSBAND. A Domestic Scandal Which Has Caused = Sensation in Georgetown. No. 8971 Prospect street in Georgetown is a pretty and comfortable little residence, but jast at prevent it contains some end hearts. When a strong man cries the rivets around the heart are strained to the barsting point. The story from Georgetown contains all the ele- ments of sadness and romance, an erring wife and a beart-broken husband. Mr. John W. Walker {s one of the best-known citizens ot Georgetown, and a man whose long and faithful service in the fire department is well known to city officials. Mr. Walker a a number of years ago lost a leg in the service and since that time bas been a watchman at truck B. He was married in | 1875, and with a good position, « lovely iittle family and seemingly a true and loving wife he hus been a happy man. ANONYMOUS LETTERS. Within the past month, however, a number of anonymous letters have been received by Mr. Walker warning Lim that his wife was un- faithful. To these, however, he paid no attention. Mr. Walker's position made itneceseary for him to be absent at night and last July bis wife in- formed him one evening that she was going to ® lawn party. Mr. Walker went to the station as usual where he received an un- signed letter telling him his wife had not gone down the river on to any lawn party, but w: the Macalester and nian ehe was said to be with, who, by the way, is | & prominent business man. Mr. Walker went to the wharf and says that when the Macalester Pulled in he saw hia wite and the man he men- tioned come off togethi The pair saw him and separated, the wife getting into acab and reaching home before usband. Mrs. Walker denied so strenu- ously any wrong that this matter blew over. On the Ath of Angust Mrs. Waiker left for a visit to the country. Mr. Walker received letters from his wife on her visit, but what was his dismay last Friday to find that she had returned to the ity and was in hiding, as Mr. Walker's friends say, with the connivance of the business man who has been nentiow At Mr. Walker's home, when a Stan reporter visited Georgetown today, Mr. Walker had tears in his eyes as he said he had nothing to say in regard to the inatter. With him were his three little children, two girls of much more than ordi- nary beauty, und a short little six-year-old boy. On the wall of the comfortable parlor was a framed plaque telling of the death of Mary Walker “on September 15, 1881, aged two years, while another’ frame con- tained a ‘certificate of the marriago of John W. Walker to Alice M. Graves on May 20, 1875. All Mr. Walker would say was that he was in consultation with friends and that with his com is wife should never enter the house again. ae The neighbors on Prospect street unite in speaking in the highest terms of Mr. Walker, and universal sympathy is felt for him. go Leash THE VACANT JUDGESHIP. It fs Thought the Vacancy In the Court of Claims Will Be Filled Soon. Itisexpected that the yacant judgeship of the Court of Claims will be filled very soon, probably without waiting for the mecting of Congress. There area number of candidates for the position, most of them eastern men. Senator Quay selected Judgo Gilkeson, the present second controller of the treasury, for the place some time ago and it was supposed that the President would make the appointment to please him. That was when Mr. Quay and the President first made up after being at outs for some time. Now that Quay has declared war on Mr. Harrison it is not know what effect it will have on Judge Gilke- son's candid: Judge Thompson of Ohio, who retired” from the House on the 4th of March: ex-Representative McComas, who went into rivat life at the sume time, and Commissioner Douglass are the other persons most prominently spoken of for the place. It is being strongly urged that the appointment should go to the west. as three cut of the four of the judges are from the eas _—______+«+____—_ VALUES ON ROCK CREEK. Col. Truesdell and Mr. L, M. Saunders Give ‘Testimony Today. ‘The Rock Creck Park appratsement commis- sion, Meysrs. James L. Norris, George J. Seufferle and N. W. Burchell, resumed its work this morning in the Circuit Court room. Henry Crutchtield of tract No. 10 (3.049 acres) testified that he had worked the place as a market garden and made a living for himself and family, and he valued it at £1,000 per acre. Albert Crutchfield, father of Henry, cor- roborated him as to his valuation. Col. Truesdell resumed the stand, and was asked what lands his estimate of the rise of 100 to 500 per cent within four or five years in the northwest included. Col. Truesdell said the greatest rise was on the line of railroads or projected railways. He did not know of any- thing which had tended to advance valu Rock Creek valley as to the parts he had fied to other than the projected park outside the Connecticut avenue line and the extension of the railroad out 14th street. ‘To Judge Wilson on recross examination,Col. Truesdell said he did not mean to say that there were no other causes for increase of value, for threre was the reflective element from the general upward tendency. ‘The building of resi- dences by people of wealth here and the steady growing disposition tending to ‘make this a Hiterary and social center were elements affe ing values in the District. It was without say- ing that the making of gton a great po- litical, literary and social center was in the near future. As to how far this affected the value of Rock creek land he could not say, for the tastes of some might attract them to the wildest portion of the valley and others would be led elsewhere. During the past four or five years several thousand buildings,aggregating several millions of dollars, have been erected beyond the city limits and not one of them in the limits of the park, and judging from this fact people have not been looking for sites in the park. Along the railronds there had been numbers of houses erected. Col. Truesdell explained that although the California syndicate property was notin the market a valuation could be put on it. He had contrasted Eckington and other laces with Rosemont and other places. When Kington was projected there was no great demand for electric light, but they put in the light and attracted people there. ‘There was no population at the terminus of Connecticut avenue to justify the construction of a railroad, but its establishment would make a demand for sites, &c. Col. Truesdell was then examined as to the use of water power and steam power ap- plied to electric lighting. Col. Truesdell was recross-examined by Mr. McKenney and Mr. J. A. ‘Truesdell. Col. Truesdell suid that some conversations had taken place as to extending the Eckington _ railroad, but nothing was ever said to him as to donating land for it. Speaking for himself, he was not in favor of extending the roud’to Takoma, for when four milos had been traveled for 435 cents additional distance increased the ex- pense. In answer to a question as to whether he had not made overtures for the purchase of the ith street (Judson) pneumatic railroad Col. ‘Truesdell replied in the negative and stated that a rumor to that effect may have originated from suggestions to extend the Eckington road to Rock ereek. Col. Truesdell referred to certain criticisms made as to his testimony and the use of a map, and he epoke of the great service the topo- Sraphical map bad bees to him, "He had given in his testimony much attention to the map, and said that the information from the D.C.

Many Organizations Joined the Bricklayers im Parade. ‘TOOLS LAID ASIDE AXD DAXNERS BOIsTED—A CREDITABLE PARADE THROUGH THE STREETS, ENDING AT TRE SCHURTZEN PARK—INTEREST INO FEATURE OF THE PROCESSION. Labor day wasan immense success. Wash- ington may not be one of the great manufac- turing centers of the country, but when it was decided sometime ago to celebrate Labor day in this city ina manner befitting the occasion committees of arrangement were appointed to see that everything was properly done. From that time the headquarters of the various labor unions and associations have been the scenes of busy preparation. The great holiday of the workingmen was all that could be asked for from the standpoint of the weather bureau, and the head of the Agticul- tural Department added @ large number to the list of bis'admtrers toda: Labor day is not recognized as a legal holi- day in the District as itis in many of the states, but notwithstanding this fact there was little oF no work done today in shops where organ- ized labor is represented. JOINED WITH THE BRICKLATER®. The great event of the day was the open air Picnic of the Bricklayers’ Union at the Schuetzen Park. The Bricklayers’ Union numbers upward of 900 men, and very nearly the entire bership participated im_ the | celebration. The Federation of Labor, the Butchers’ Union, the Journeymen Horee- shoers’ Union, ' the Stonecutters’ Union nd the ' Stonemasons’ Association also joined in with tke bricklayers to make the day a great success, The program included a long street parade through the principal throughfares of the eity, followed by the pic- nic, which will last until a late hour tonight. Long before 9 o'clock this morning, the hour set for the parade, the members of the Brick-| layers’ Union began to gather at their hall. corner of 7th and L streets, and soon they Were joined by marching delegations from the other labor unions.

Attorney Thomas Says That the District Com- missioners Have Control of It. The assistant attorney for the district, Mr. 8. T. Thomas, today submitted to the Commissioners his opinion in the matter of the assignmnent of places on B street for the ac- commodation of farmers attending the Center market, recentiy referred to him by the Com- missioners for an expression of his views as to the power of the Commissioners to apportion spaces permanently to the wholesale dealers on the south side of B street and also to retail dealers on the north side of B street. He says: The title of the streets and avenues of this city being in the United States, Congress in 1848 enacted “that no open space, public reser vation or other public ground in the city Washington, nor any portion of the public streets or avenues in said city, shall be occu- pied by any private person or for any pri Purpose whateover.” But it was evident the intention of Congress. I think, to pr sidewa ike cround public mark and pablic squares adja it to such markets from being used under proper regulations for the sule of Vegetables or other country produce, since nearly ten years later the corporation of Washington. which had large charter powers from Congress. by an ordinauee approved May 27, | 1857. established certain —_ public markets and vel rules for their gov- ernment (Webb's Digest,254.) By section 13 of the a it was provided that “it aball be the y of clerks of the several mar- kets to lay off and mar convenient spaces the several pave joining to and bordering on th t squares or open spaces or thoroughfares and which may be used for the sale or exposure for sale of vex tables or other country produce; and any or persons using any more of #aid oF spaces than may be assigned them by said clerk chall forfeit and pay a sum not les« than five dollars nor more than ten dollars for ¥ market day or less time they may use auy place.

Boyce and M. J. O'Connor. The line of march was formed on L street a little atter 10 oelock, aud Marshal Copp and his eficient aids soon brought order out of what had looked like chaos. The line was a long one, containing, as it did, be tween 1,500 and 2,000 stalwart and prosperous looking citizens, who represented very con- siderable share ‘ot the bone aud sinew of the District. ‘Yhere were three bands in the parade and their strains kept the line in excel- ent marching order. HOW THE LINE WAS COMPOSED. First came about a score of members of the Bricklayers’ Union, who were mounted on bi- cycles, and were giver the right of way asa consequence. ‘They were followed by the chief marshal and then came tae Marine Bund ana the delegates from the Federation of Labo ‘The 800 members of the Bricklayers’ Union made an imposing array, Deuring a number of handsome dive pennants with the insignia of the union in yellow lettering. ‘The Stonemasons’ Society, No. 2, was headed by Williams’ Cornet Band.’ There were about sixty men in line, with Mr. Henry Hegerty, corresponding secretary of ~ the acting as marshal, ‘Then came the Na- tional Guard Drum Corps at the head of the Stonecutters’ Association with about 150 men. The president, Mr. Wm. Connor, was the mar- shal, and his aids were Messrs. Fred, W. Kah- nert, Thomas Adams and William Kricton. Thirty or more tine-looking men unizormed in blue flannel shirts, witite belts, black derbies and carrying canes ornamented with bows of ribbon, formed the contingent of the Butchers’ Union, 6341, K. of L. ‘Their officers are as fol- lows: ’ Wm!

A TRAVELING soITHY. A big four-horse wagon in line attracted considerable attention along the route. It was gaily decorated with rosettes and bunting. It was all fitted up as @ peripatetic blacksmith shop, with anvil, forge in full blast and’ all complete, even to a_ patient mule, who seemed able to stand a new set of shoes at every block. Some foolish people along the line of march seeing the turnout of butchers foliowed by this wagon and all heading for the Schuetzen Park sug- gested there was going to bea decided novelty in the way of barbecues. This was a mistake. Tho wagon was a part of the parade of the Journeymen Horseshoers’ Union and in it were two of tho nent members of the union, Messrs. Richard Han- nan and James Nolan. ’ They had their sleeves rolledup and were hard at workat theforge and anvil, turning out horseshoes and imuie shoes done to a turn. There were about sixty-five members of the union in line, all wearing blue shirts and black silk caps. ‘The president was Mr. Jas. Hanri- hanand his aids were Messrs. Chas. Weitzel and T. Schondan. Mr. Dave Hughes carried an immense American flag. ss Plate Printers’ U No. 3837; was repre- sented by a committee of ten, with Mr. Chas. Wells a8 chairman; Messrs.

A petition from the citizens and property holders of West Washington, received by the Commissioners today, requests the construc- tion of a sewer on Road street (M) northwest between 3ist and 92d. They urge this for the reason that the property I and south sides of this square is about to be improved, and the only drawback is the proper sewer facilities. Capt. Lusk will investigate. THEIR POLES ORDERED vows. The Potomac Electric Company, which pro- posed to transinit electrical power to the city from the Little Falls, has met with « serious ob- stacle in the shape of an order of the Commis- sioners compelling them to stop the crection of poles in Georgetown and remove those al- ready up. This order was based upon the re- port of Lieut. Hollinberger, from which it ap- peared that the company had not complied with the terms of their permit, which required that the consent of the abutting property owners should be obtained before the wor was done.
