A RESOLUTION OF INQUIRY. Mr. Gallinger has prepared for introduction in the Senate a joint resolution that bears on the proposed use of the bridge. The resolu- tion requires the Secretary of War to cause an examination to be made of the piers of the Aqueduct bridge, and the District Commis- sioners to furnish a statement of expend- ttures on account of said bridge since it became the joint property of — the United Steter and District of Columbia. ‘The preamble sets forth that by the annual report of the Commissioners of the District of Columbia for the year ending June 30, 1889, it iw made to appear that the masonry composing Fe Aqueduct bridge wee largely in need of ir, and at least one of the piers thereof bad settled four inches to the north and large cavities caused by erosion ex- inted in more than one uf said piers, and that a large sum of money was expended in the repair of the sami ‘The Secretary of War is directed to cause to be made a thorough examination of the piers of the bridge by seme competent officer of the ngineer corps aud report to Congress at an arly day: First.

What cavities, if any, exist in any of the piers of said bridge requiring repairs or ir y way impairing the supporting capacity of said piers, or either of them, making specific report of defects, if any, in each pier. Third. He is required also to transmit a copy of the report of the officer of the engineer corps charged with the duty of constructing the piers of the said bridge, showing as minutely as may be the plans aud processes used in the construc- tion thereof. ‘The Commissioners of District of Colum- | bia are required to transmit to Congress a de- tailed report of expenses incurred in the re- pair of the piers, by whom the repairs were under whose direction, and a detailed account of the work of making the ‘same, and a hae of the report of any officer of the District. or employe thereof, engaged in the said work or upon any part thereof. They are to report also if t ve ever caused any of the piers to be tested with plumb and level, or any other suitable instru- ment, to see if any are ont of plumb, and, if so, the result of snch examination. ‘THE KEPATKS TO THE BRIDGE. gineer (. B. Hunt, who had charge of the repairs to the piers of the bridge which were in- jured by the freshet three years ago, said to a Svan reporicr: “The safety of the bridge under existing circumstances seems beyond reason- able question. It is believed to be a more sub- ure now than it was prior to the rbance of its foundation by the freset.” je stated that the general method employed ig the damage was to fill the cavity then discovered under’ the masoury of one of the piers as completely a& possible with bags of concrete and to construct a bulkhead of bags at the mouth of the cavity to form the outside | face of the concrete, its base being well Donded and tied into the irregular rock at the bottom of the river. After this bad been done loose concrete was lowered into tubs, which were tripped and the material pushed with oss. and special tools into all the "re- maining portions of the cavity until it was completely filled with a substantially solid mass of concrete The loose material was also placed over and on the outer #lope of the breastwork of bags, 80 as to form a compara- tively even finish. ‘The remains of the sand pockes which had existed under the masonry from its construction and which ‘osion had disturbed the equilibrium of the structure were allowed to remain undis- turbed, as the risk of their sidered entirely too great. cordingly inclosed bodily within the m: conerete, the limit of the baz work extending beyond it and confining it on ull sides, —— THE CARE OF DEPENDENT CH Superintendent Warner Gives About the New Board.

Aivasowski, a Russian-Armenian painter of considerable note in his own coun- try, but whose works are not much known here, has six canvases now on exhibition in the Corcoran Gallery, two of which it ix understood he intends to present to that institution. The subjects are marine and landscapes illustrative of scenes and episodes of interest in the artist’ native country, and will therefore in- terest to visitors to the gallery, aside from the artistic merit displayed in conception and exe- cutivn.

A meeting of committees from the United, Independent and Junior Fire Companies of Frederick, the Guardinn Hose Company of Mechanicstown and the Vigilant Hose Com- | pany of Emmitsburg, this county, will be held in this city on next Thursday, when arrangements will be made for the organization of a state firemen’s association to include the volunteer fire companies at Rockville, Hyatu- ville, Laurel, Westminster, Annapolis, Ellicott City, Hagerstown, Cumberland, Baltimore, Elkton, Cambridge and elsewhere in the state, the object of the proposed organisation the mutual improvement of the firemen and the adoption of better methods for the administra- |tion of volunteer fire departments in small cities. ‘The formation of the association has | been brought about by the celebration of the seventy-tifth anniversary of the Independent Hose Company, which will take place in this | city in June next, and arrangements for which have already progressed so far that upward of sixty firemen’s associations from all parts of the country have assured the committee that | they will be present to take part in the parade and tournament, which are to be fea- tures of the anniversary. The Veteran Vol- unteer Firemen’s Associations of | Wasb- ington and Baltimore _ will be here, and there will be companies from Philadelphia, Pittsburg.

Both the minister, Rev. Geo. Elliot, and the congregation are highly pleased at the success that hay crowned their efforts. ‘The original loan obtained by the church was a | $2.000 one, but in 1686 it was reduced 8600. Since that time several pastors have had charge of Dumbarton Avenue parish and no earnest effort to eancel the indebtedness was made until Mr. Elliot aesumed control. As soon as he was made acquainted with the fact that the congregation were in debt he set about to pay it off, and by giving freqnent entertain- | ments and Sunday reminders the necessary | sum was raised. A SKATER'S ACCIDENT. All yesterday the Little river was thronged with skaters, who, ehiclded from the sharp wind that was blowing on the Potomac, enjoyed a good but rather dangerous skate, as the ice in many places was perforated with’ air holes, An aceide-it happened about half a mile below Long bm ige which nearly cost Mr. ‘T.B.

Henning, president of the Traders’ National Bank, 1728 20th street, caused by a defective fiue, and it was extin- guished with slight damage. While at the fire the horses of the hose carriage of No. 1 com- pany became frightened and dashing away struck the lamp post at 20th street and New Hampshire avenue, demolishing it and badly wrecking the carriage. Mr. Henning’s loss is about $100, “ Ablaze broke out in the cabinet shop of Thomas McMahon on 10th near B street last night and it was extinguished with but little ioss by the Chemical Company.
