COUR & JARBUL, S40 Mat, oat Washict ——————————————— ALEXANDRIA, CORPORATION couRT. The corporation court of Alexandria, Judge Norton, opened its September term this morn- ing at the market court house. A special rand jury bas been called and will indict Fetterson Phillips for the murder of George S. Smith, as well as bring in indictments in sev- eral burglary cases. When Phillips is arraigned he will plead “not guilty,” and on a day being set for trial it is probable that his counsel will ask for a jury from Richmond, Fredericksburg or somewhere outside of Alexandria where expressions of opinion have not been so uni- versal as in this city. QUICKLY ARRESTED. Last Saturday night, as Mrs. George Harlow was standing at the door of her residence on Prince street between Royal and Pitt streets, two young colored boys came up and asked if “Mrs. Stanislaus lived in that neighborhood.” Before she could reply one of them snatched a ocket book which she held in her and and both ran off. * Information was at once communicated to the police, but there was no clue except the cap of one of the boys’ dropped in his flight. ‘The police, however, went to work and in less thanan hour Lieut. Smith had secured two colored lads, the pocket book and greater part of its contents, some $7. ‘The boys, Andrew Jackson and Chas. Jackson, one abput fourteen years of age and the other younger, were held to answer at the mayor's court. DEATH OF JOHN A. WILLIAMS. John Andrew Williams, a well-known painter, died last night at his home in Fassett’s row, on Alfred near Wolfe street. He was formerly employed at the Washington and Ohio railroad yard, but has lately been engaged in the Vir- ginia Midland shops. This is the first death, except that of a babe, which has occurred in this city since the 29th of August. ‘A PLEASANT HOP. A pleasant hop was given at McBurney's Hall Friday evening, it being the first of a series of dances that will take place during the season. Notwithstanding the fact that many society people are still out of town there was a large attendance. Many strangers were pres- ent, and the affair was a success in every particular. Among thove present were Miss Esther Brookes, Miss Mary Reid, Miss Jennie Minnigerode, Miss Lizzie ‘Boykin, Baltimore; Miss Bessie Corse, Miss Sallie Daingerfield, Miss Evlith English, Miss Lucy Minnigerode, Miss Esther Dempsey, Miss Sinclair, Baltimore; Miss Lida Wattles, Miss Clay, Savannah, Ga.; Miss Kate Critcher, the Misses Oliver, Washington; Miss Julia English, Miss Lucy Brookes, Miss urtenny Norton, Miss Taylor, Washington: Miss Marbury, Miss Lizzie Wattles, Miss Smoot, Miss Josie Robinson, Miss Stribling, Fauquier county: Miss Lula Critcher, Miss Mary Boykin, Baltimore; Miss Johnson, Miss ucker, Norfolk, Va.; Miss Kebecca Dainger- field, Miss Eliza’ Daingertield, Miss Ashby and Messrs.

All the pulpits of the city were filled by the pastors yesterday, the summer vacations being over. The Alexandria county public schools opened today. and the issue cf permits for the city schools was resumed this morning. ee A Presentation and a Speech, At the Second Baptist Church, colored, last night Mr. Perry H. Carson rose after the ser- mon and stated that the friends and well wishers of the pastor, Rev. W. Bishop Johnson, had madoup 4 purse of $100 to present to him asa token of their esteem, and that ex-Minister John H. Smyth would, on behalf of the donors, make the presentation speech. In the course of his remarks Mr. Carson advised his hearers to be more united and told them that they must pay more attention to the things which were caiculated to advance the interests of the negro race. The white people combined to advance each others interests, while the negroes were pulling away from each other and some were never 60 happy as when engaged in pulling each other down. He made a plea for race unity and showed the advantages which would acerte to the negroes of this country by intelli- gent organization. Mr. Smyth made the presentation in a neat speech and Dr. Johnson responded appro- priately, expressing his gratitude and taking oc- sion to compliment Mr. Carson's zeal in of his race. ee Five Hundred Children at a Meeting. “Our Union” Band of Hope, Mrs. M. B. Page superintendent, held meeting yesterday in the temperance tent, corner 9th and East Cap- itol streets, with about 500 children present, and with all the enthusiasm which that number of wide-awake boys and girls usually carry. ‘The meeting was opened with prayer by Mr. Jett and the reading cf the Scripture lesson b Mrs. Bartlett. The meeting was entertained by a recitation by Master Boynton, a v duet by the Misses Elsia and Edna Dyer, arecitation by Miss Harriet Barker and a solo ‘by Master Morrow Lewis, with chorus tho band.

Pe rSy Y. SEPTEMBER 14, 1891. FOR SALE—HORSES AND VEHICLES. The Government Will Kow Complete the ‘New Observatory Buildings. AFTER AN UNFORTUNATE EXPERIENCE THE COX- TRACTORS GO ON RECORD 48 FAILING—ONLT 4 LITTLE LEFT TO BE DONE AND SUFFICIENT MONEY ON HAND—COST OF THE BUILDINGS. The contractors for the now Naval Observa- tory, now in course of construction on the heights above Georgetown, have abandoned the work asa bad job, and the government is now taking an inventory of the materials on hand and the state of the construction in order to ascertain the exact amount that will be needed to complete the buildings. The contractors have been on the ragged edge for some time, and as long ago as August 1 they notified the department that there was danger that they could not continue with the work. Their case is peculiar one. They have been on the verge of abandoning the work for more than six months, owing to misfortunes that they encountered in the earlier progress of the contract. The unfortunate firm is Mc- Laughlin & Co. of this city, with offices in the Corcoran building. The members are Patrick H. McLaughlin, Augustus Davis, jr., and John G. Craig. ‘They were the lowest bidders for the work, and their proposal to construct the entire plant for the sum of $30 ducted smoothly, but there was trouble ahead. ‘TROUBLE WITH A SUPERINTENDENT. The architect of the building, Mr. Richard M. Hunt of New York, appointed aman named Grant as the superintendent of construction. Grant, the contractors claimed, was a retired tailor and his knowledge of housebuilding. and especially his acquaintance with mortar, stone, cement and such materials, was hardly sufti- cient to equip him for so important a post. Among other things that the contractors charged Grant with wasa persistent and un- necessary rejection of materials that had pissed every test and met every requirement. For example, it was acommon thing, Messrs. McLaughlin & Co. say, for Mr. Grant to con- used at the Congressional Library work after passing the most ‘severe inspection, |The cart- Ing and handiing cost considerable and the rejection of so much material tended to delay the work. Then there was trouble at the buildings over the employment of certain workmen, cul- minating in an order from Grant excluding McLaughlin's superintendent from the grounds. ‘The contractors finally presented charges of incompetence against Grant to the Secretary of the Navy and the result was another super intendent ‘was appointed, and he, it is claimed, has given satisfaction to both sides. But the main damage, according to the con- tractors, had then been done, and the work Was so far delayed that the contractors were obliged to ask for two extensions of time, their Petitions being granted in each instance. THE QUESTION OF TIME. Under the terms of the contract the entire plant was to have been completed within eighteen months from the date of the award, or December 31, 1889. The various extensions granted brought the last date for completion to September 1, 1391, and the contractors had hoped to be able tocomplete by thatday. About four weeks ago they wrote to the Secretary of the Navy asking that all future payments upon the observatory be preferred to Mr. John larbury, jr., a well-known Washingtonian, who, ina spirit of friendliness, bad advanced some large sums to the firm'to aid them in their enterprise. By this preferment it was hoped that the work might go on to full completion. At that time the walls and roofs of the buildings were all done, the interior work was almost finshed, and ‘the remainder that was yot to be accomplished might have been worked out ina fortnight. But this letter to the Navy Department contained a confession of the danger in which the contrac- tors stood, and the authorities began to examine into the case. It was seen that the firm was really unable to go ahead and so after some correspondence the contractors finally wrote to say that they had decided to go on record as failing bidders, and to turn the work over to the government. PROVISIONS OF THE CONTRACT. ‘There is a clause in the contract covering the circumstances of abandonment of the contract in the following terms: “In case of the failure of the parties of the first part at any stage of the work prior to final completion, from uny cause or causes other than those specified in the tenth cliuse of this contract to go forward with the work and make satisfactory progress toward its completion within the prescribed period, it shall be op- tional with the Secretary of the Navy todeclare thie contract forteited. The parties of the first part shall thereupon acknowiedge themselves to be justly indebted to the United States, for liquidated and ascertained damages, in sum equal to the aggregate amount of all ad- vanced payments theretofore made to them, for or on account of the work to be done under this contract, and do farther covenant and agree to refund the same on demand or within sixty days thereafter, and that the United States shall and may hold as collateral security for: such refund the buildings, ap- purtenances, materials and fistings or so much ‘thereof as shall then have been constructed or furnished or as shall be on hand for the parposes of construction. The Secretary of the Navy shall thereupon cause to be taken and filed a fuil and complete statement and inventory of ali work done or commenced in, upon oF about the buildings, appurtenances and fittings and of all materials on hand applicable thereto, and shall cause the same to be duly valued by a board consisting of not less than ‘ive persons qualified by kno edge and experience for the discharge of their duties, to be appointed by the Secretary of the Navy, which board shail proceed without un- necessary delay to examine such work and ma- terials and ascertain and declare the fair mar- ket value thereof, including @ reasonable and customary margin of profit upon so much of the work as shall have been at the time such forfeiture is declared satisfactorily performed, and upon such examination the parties of the first part may attend in person and by counsel and submit such evidence as the board may deem proper. Upon receipt of the report and finding of said board the Secretary of the Navy may, in his discretion, proceed to complete the buildings, appurtenances and all other work, in accordance with the contract, drawings, plans and specifications, using for that purpose all suitable materials on hand and included in the inventory aforesaid; and the title to eaid build- ings, appurtenances and fitting, or so much thereof as shall have been completed, and to all such materials, shall forthwith vest in the United States; and the parties of the first part do hereby covenant and agree that on receiv- ing notice of the intention of the Secretary of the Navy to proceed to the completion of the work they will surrender the same and all materials on hand, together withall machinery, tools and appliances appertaining to the work and theretofore used or neccstary to be used in and about the completion of the same. “In case the Secretary of the Navy shall pro- ceed under the foregoing clause to complete the work such procedure shall be without. un- necessary delay and shall be at the risk and ex- nse of the parties of the first part, who shall chargeable with any increase in the cost of ma‘ or labor incurred by reason of their failure to perform the contract.” ‘TuE PavaeNte.

Later, com- ing along by the same building, she saw on adoor the name “Kins.” Ah, this was what she was after. “Nosmo King Jones be shall be,” she said, and he was christened so.

The doors were all shut, and behold, the doors with the names on them she had selected were shut together, and she read, not Noswo Kix, but No SMokrxe, and her heart was broker.

Program to Be Followed at the Opening Next Week. Superintendent Powell of the public schools is back at his desk again refreshed after his va- cation by the seaside. Most of the other school officials and teachers have also reached the city and are busy preparing for the coming school session. One busy man just now is the official who is to have charge of the distribn- tion of the free school books. Most of these books have arrived, and it is necessary to sort them and put the stamp of the District proprie- torship on each one. Just one week from today the different school buildings will open their doors once more for the entrance of book-laden pupils and for the rest of this week many an anxious eye will scan the calendar in the hope of obtaining some loophole of escape. On Monday, 21st, the schools will open, but on that da; only the transferred pupils will be receiv: On Tuesday the new pupils will commence their labors. On Friday and Saturday of this week the principals ot High Schools may beconsulted, while the other principals will be at their respective buildings for the purpose of issuing tickets of admission on ‘Thi and Friday from 8 to 10a.m. and 4 to6 p.m THE NEW SCHOOL BUILDINGS. The school year which opens next week prom- ises to be by far the most successful in the his- buildings, which are ready for occupancy, there are still six others in course of construction — which _ be occupied at =.

The first matter disposed of today was to recommend the appointment of the successor of In«pector H. C. Lynn and Dr. D. W. Hughes received the stamp of Dr. Hammett’s approval. Dr. Lynn resigned some time ago to return tohis homein Topeka, Kan.,and Dr. Ham- mett recommends the appointment of Dr. Hughes to take effect tomorrow. Dr. Hughes was one of the candidates for health officer, but withdrew in favor of Dr. Hammett. This is the fifth appointment made by Dr. Hammett and all except one of that number are republicans. Dr. Hammett mentioned thie fact this morning and remarked that politics had nothing todo with the appomtments in his office. THE OLD QUESTION. The garbage service also came in for its share of the health officer's time, and the doctor said the complaints are still numerous, although many of them do not amount to anything. There was one case, he said, in which three complaints had been made in two days, and when the inspector went to the house be found nothing but some peach parings. The garbage service, the doctor said, was ting along very well, and he hoped in an day or two that there would be no reason for complaint. It was bis expectation also that ® new contract would speedily be issued for the fervice of collecting the garbage. REPORTS OF FOOD INSPECTORS. The reports of Food Inspector Mothershead and Chase show a decided decrease in the con- demnations as compared with the summer weeks. On account of having the Center Market and large down town stores to look after the report of Inspector Mothershead shows the large number of condemnations Among the arucle Jemned by him were 920 pounds of meat, 550 canteloupes, 715 water- wand 250 pounds of grapes, in addition to a quantity of other fruits, Among the items in Inxpector Chase's report were 185 pounds of meat, 171 canteloupes and 18 watermelons, AT THE WHanves. The report of Inspector Barris shows the ar- rivals at the river front during the past week of the following: Nine thousand nine hundred and seventy-six bunches of fish, 1,375 Spanish mache drumfich, 34 carp, 21 stury 000 clams, 12,300 crabs, Y lon. ters and 545 bunches of fish, 2,300 clams, 4,100 crabs, 120 bushels of oysters and 1,700 watermelo: AT THR POUND. Poundmaster Einstein's report shows a total of 142 animals impounded during the past week. Of that number 137 were doge, three were cows and there wo goats. The fees collected amounted to €18, there having been seven dogs redeemed and two wold. The reports of the health inspectors showed @ number of nuixances abated and those of the garbage inspectors gave long lists of com- plaints attended to. Dr. Osmun, who has charge of enforeing the jaw with regard to the prevention of the spread of contagious diseases, has been kept busy since his appointment ‘to succeed Dr. Demarest. Dr. Osmun said this morning that he had only had two cases of scarlet fever to look after ‘since his appointment, the other cases being diphtheria, The latter cases are how averaging two or three aday. There has been an occasional death from diphtheria, the t weekly report showing six deaths during the week. = a GEORGETOWN, TOOK MIS WORDS DOWN. A Washington tailor made a pair of riding breeches a short time ago for one of George- town's prominent horsemen, but as they did not turn out to be what was ordered this young man refused to pay for them. Several times the bill, amounting to $17, was sent, but no at- tention was paid to it, and a day or two ago the tailor presented it in person. Then he was candidly told that it never would be paid until the deiect in the breeches was remedied. Whereupon the tailor became greatly excited and every unpleasant remark be could possibly think of was buried at that young man.
