Casey, chief of engineers, U. 8. army, has submitted bis annuai report to the Secretary of War. In reference tw the water sapply of Washington he says: The masonry dam at Great Falls fs in good condition. § | hed been carried away by ice in the previous fiscal year could not be replaced by reason of | the inadequacy of the appropriation for | pretervation and repair and the prewure of More immediately important work. ‘The feeder at the head of the conduit at Great Falls been cleaned out several times during the year. ‘The trunk mains that lead from tho distributing reservoir and supply the distributing system of mains that are under the care of the Commis f the District of Columbia are in ex- lition. A break occurred in the | main in K street east, but it wae not extensive and wae repaired at emallexperwe. No other | serious leaks occurred during the year. An @x- | teasion of the blow-off in the 45-inch main near | M street bridge war extended to liock creck by means of 20-inch cast-iron pipe and the outlet of the biow-oif on the 3é-inch main at Foundry Brauch was repaired. THE ISTERION oF THE CONDUTT. A serious leak of from 20,000 to 40,000 gallons a day that existed for yerrs near Cabin John bridge has beon stopped, and the officer in taking advantage of the opportunity ated by the necessary emptying of the for making the repair, made @ thor- inspection of the whole length of the in- rier of the condwut from Great Falls to the distributing reservoir on the lst of September inst.

Considerable progress has been made in the removal of the deposits, but as the work, which must be done while ‘the water is cut off at the conduit is emptied, 1s done mainly at night it is expensive and tedious. APPROPRIATIONS TOU SMALL. ‘The annual appropriations for the mainte- voir, mains, roads, &¢., connected with it are so small thet the work of removing the deposits annot be doze without neglect of other neces- sary work, and, even with this neglect, to finish the work "by means of these appropriations would reqnire many years. A special estimate of $14,000, which would enable the entire con- duit to be cloaned out in oue year, is inoluded in the estimates for the next flacal year. Several times during the vear when the water on the dam at Great Fails wae low, and also during the times the water from Great Falls was cut off to enable the work of cloaning out the conduit to be carried on, it was found neces- sury to reinforce the distributing reservoir by the water of the receiving reservoir and the three streams that flow into 1t. ihe survers and marking by monuments of the boundaries of the aqueduct lands, both in | the District of Columbia and in Maryland, have been continued. THE CONDUIT MANHOLES. ‘The condmt manholes, sixty-six in number, mainly under the Condnit road, were un- covered and their distances from reference stones along the roud were measured for future use when the manholes are opened for cleaning out accumulation of deposits or for repairs. It was found that soveral of the casings of the manholes should be raised. Nine of the refer- ence stoues that were missing have beon re- placed by newones. . ‘The work of erecting strong guard fences at the high embankments on Conduit road was continued; 3,200 fest of these fencos was built in the tieal Year, making 7.464 feet, or about miles in all. improvements were made in the approaches Joux Trrretr paid $5 in the Police Court to- | day for fast driving. th.

The remainder of the appropriation, emount- | ing to $10,669.91, remaining in the bands of the | ane in charge, was turned into the treasury | | on the 9th of September, 1891. As far ue can be foreseen the available re- | | mainder of the appropriation will not be re- | quired for future expenditure. INCRPASING THE WATER SUPPLY. | Thiswork was commenced under an sppro- | priation made fn the act of Congress approved | July 15, 1882. i All operations on this project are suspended, ood ne work has been dies amor ft during the | year. |. The work of replacing the decayed timber linings of the upper portions of the tunnel | shafts, which was in operation at the close of | the last fi-cal year, was continued, and com-| | pleted early in the’ year. The work consisted | in making an entirely new lining of the best | ity of Georgia pine, extending either from | e surface of the rock, as at Foundry branch | shaft (which was completed in the previous | fiscal year) and Champlain avenno shaft, or from the top of the brick lining that had been | carried at the Howard University shaft to with- jim about twenty feet of the surface of the | ground. At Foundry branch shaft the new lining was of S-inch plank set behind horizonal fraines of 10-inch by 12-inch timbers two feet apart. At Champlain avenue und Howard University shafts the lining was built eolid of 10-inch by 12- inch timbers. The interior stone lining, “pitchiug,” of the new reservoir near Howard University baving been considerably injured by drainage water from ground around the reservoir, which found ite way to the bottom of the reservoir under the stone and undermined it, it was found nec- essary to cut off these streams and several small retaining walls wero built to prevent further damage. About 715 square vards of the stone lining of the reservoir, which had sunk from the washing out of the sand under it, was re- paired. A guard strainer, eix feet square, com- posed of 2inch Georgia pine plank, wax built around the inlet month of the 12-inob drain un- der the dam to prevent a possible disastrous obstruction of this drain. A masonry wing wall wae built on cach side of the mouth of the Great sewer which passes around this reservoir for the protection of the month and the earth which had been washed away refilled back of the wall and over the sewer. A watchman has been employed during the year at the new reservoir. His duties have Claded the guarding of the «tone at the mouths of all of the shafts except the one at Foundry branch, which is under the care of the watch- man at the distributing reservoii Anavailable balance of €430,179 is on hand i no estimate for further appropriation is submitted. VISHWAYS AT GREAT FALLS. At the commencement of the fiscal year operations were in progress under the contract entered tnto June 9%, 1891, with Isuse H. Hath- away of Philadelphia, Pa., for the construction of fishways at Great Palis, the plans and spect- fications for which bad been prepared by the | commissioner of fich and fisheric contem- plated by the act makiug appropriations for the 1 of the Secretary of War, the rin charge is held responsible only for the proper protection of the aqueduct dam at Great Falle and for the disbursement of the funds appropriated. ‘The commissioner of tish and fisheries having discovered that his plane for section 6 of the fishways were not adapted to the site of the work new plansand specifications were pre- pared by him for this section, and on the 10th of September a supplemental ‘contract was en- tered into with the contractor for the work under the new plans for section 6. By tho terms of the contract the work was to have been completed before December 12, 1891, Dut the contractor, finding that this would be impracticable, asked for an extension of time to July 1, this was granted him, the additioual expense to the United States by rea son of such extension being deducted on final settlement, as provided for in the contract. By reason of the uncertainties as to the amounts of excavation, concrete and riprap work thatwould be found to be required to completely finish sections 4, 5 and 6 of the fish ways, and of a doubt whether all of this work and ‘the superstructure of section 4 could be completed, as was greatly to be desired, before the next spring freshets, with the appropria- tion available for the fichways, after paying the contractor the amount then due bim | (the contract provided that the excavation, | the concrete and the riprap were to be done at rates per cubic yard), it was deemed advisable to enter into a supple- | mental contract with the contractor to com- pletely finish section 4, and to finieh all the work remaining tobe done on sections 5 and 6 ata lumpeum which was within the amount of the appropriation remaining available. This agreement was entered into on the 22d day of December, 1891. There remain to be done sections 1, 2 and 3 to complete the fishways, for which the com- missioner will prepare modified plans, and for which $15,000 was included in the estimates | submitted in my last annual report.

The committee was composed of Gen. Green Clay Smith of the Union Veterans’ Union, Vice Department Commander Bickford and Mr. Armat Stoddard of the Grand Army of the Republic. President Harrison received the committee ina cordial manner, but did not commit him- self on any propositions stated by the mem- bers. The President was told by the commit- tee that the District was under a thoroughly | democratic administration; that nearly overy office that had become vacant or had been made vacant was filled by a democrat, and while they made no complaint for political reasons they complained that the gen- eral tendency was against the veterans who fought for the Union, and they thought officers should be sppointed who would recognize the Claims of the veterans, The committee also presented a paper cou- taining statement concerning the action of the Commissioners in depriving the people of the District of the services of Neil Dumont as assistant attorney for the District. The state- ment contained a vigorous objection to the ac- tion of the Commissioners in that case.

The betterments of southeast Alexandria havé been of late as notable as most any other pottion of the city. The extensive improve- ments at the east end of Duke street hae made old Point Lumley a manufacturing center, and now changes made by the Haskins Wood Vulcan- izing Company of Washington begin to show themselves. At the late Virginia Shipbuilding Company property, on the river front, very ex tensive changes have been made, and a new wharf, 180 by 140 feet, “has been Inid out on the front of ‘the property, which is upon deep water. soon as the wharf is completed the Alexandria trade in vulcanized timber will, it is expected, ex- ten} millions of feet. Iron works, fertilizing establishments, planing mills and other w works will make that section of the city a busy hive of industrious workers, THE DEMOCRATIC JUBILEE To come. ‘The red-tine democrate are getting ready for next Tuesday night, when they will make Alex- andria jubilant with their joy over the result of the presidential election. ‘There will be a toreblight procession, a mass meeting with dis- tinguished speakers and many displays of Alex- andria's skill in design, One or. twe banda will make music on the occasion of rejoicing, and the young democrats will, it is said, astonish their elders.

Their most salient effort now is the cleaning of the Canal street road at Roslyn, where that street meets the Washington and Arlington electric railroad. There is a con- troversy as to which side of the street roadway the electric raRway shall occupy, which may in the end go to the courts, An effort is now in progress to induce the managers of the Ar- with assaulting a colored boy named Frederick Brooks, whom he had under arrest, as hereto- fore published in Tax Stax, took place in Judge Miller's court today. Ofticer Boland is stationed at Benning, and about two months ago he arrested Brooks on a charge of drunk and disorderly. Soon after being placed under arrest he pulled back and the ofifcer clubbed him. His head was cat and his jawbone injured. Judge Miller heard the testimony of a num- ber of witnesses and eaid that the officer had exceeded his authority. After telling some- thing of the duties of an officer and the care he must exercise the judge fined him €10. Lawyers French and Moss, who defended the officer, entered a motion for a new trial. ae Both Fined for Using Knives. John Williams and William Lewis, colored men, who figured in the Police Court today in assault cases, attempted to cut their victim In the former case an oyster knife was brought into use, while in tho latter an old table knife figured.

All masts were standing and the fore lower topeails and main- fopgallant sail were net, Capt. Magill ran close tothe Capella and blew the whistle for some time. Being satisfied that the'vesselhad been abandoned he proceeded, Celebrating Whittier’s Birthday. The birthday of the poet Whittier was cele- brated last evening by appropriate exercises held under the auspices of the Bethel Literary Society at the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church. Addresses were made by Frederick Douglass, John Purvis of Philadelphia, Rev. J. E. Rankin and George Arnold. The latter gave a political urn to his adress and criticized the repub- Ia indicated that they did not ‘relish Mr,’ Abuold’s sentiments. Music was furnished by the choir of Howard University. Prayer was offered by Bishop Ward. Master John R. Francis resitok poem and Mrs, Terrell, the president of the society, read a poetic tribute to Whittier by Mrs. Charlotte Grimke. ead oe To Compe!

The charter tax depends on the amount of capital to be in- vested. The incorporators are Jules Guthridge, J. G. Slater, T. V. Alvord, Jus. L. Barbour and T. E. Roessle, all of Washington. Several Cases of Theft. Policeman Ellsworth of the eighth precinct had before the Police Court today two colored boys, Francis Roane and John Arthur, charged with stealing three watches from J. H. Bundy’s store. ‘The explanation on the part of the boys was that the watches were given to them by man on the street, but Judge Miller thought that the man who gives away watches did not come around very frequently and gave them six months each. Robert Lewis was tried on a charge of receiving one of the watches and the charge was dismissed. George Gaines, a well-dressed young colored man, was in the dock charged with theft. George is » Pullman car porter and was recently transferred to this division from St. Louis, Procuring €10 by means of a trick was the charge. It appears that an old colored woman named Nina Jones lost the money in the freight yard, and when she reported her loss, it was claimed, Gaines heard of it and also heard a description of the money. A colored boy, who found the money, was honest enough to turn it in to tho’office and Gaines claimed and pro- cured it, : Judge Miller held him guilty of the’charge and ordered him to make restitution or go down for thirty days, and imposed an addi- tional fine of $20 or thirty days. Arthur Rollins was charged with the theft of 3 whitewash brush from J. H. Dorsey and he forfeited $5 collateral. aca ‘The Young Men's Democratic Club. ‘The largest and most enthusiastic meeting of the season of the Young Men's Democratic Club was held at Dennison’s Hall, 923 F street northwest. last evening.
