At the session of the house today Mr. Sexton asked Speaker Peel if Mr. Mellor had not violated the rules of procedure of the house in suspending him for disorderly conduct, and if | he could obtain the judgment of the house on the conduct of Mr. Mellor. ‘The speaker said that Mr. Sexton had a right | under the rules to give notice of motion on the subject regarding the conduct of Mr. Mel- le | | . | Mr. Sexton thereupon gave notice that he the chairman of the committee of the whole had misused the powers of his office in sus- | pending him. — | NEWBY OR BENTON?T | A Singular Case That is Interesting Pen- } sion Officials.

Rumors of rate cutting in the west. financial institutions in the same locality in critical condition and the crop report far- nished them a nucleus around which they suc- ceeded in constructing a tong line of bear argu- ments, As a result of these concentrated attacks considerable long stock was thrown on the market by demoralized holders and the cover- ing of outstanding contracts was begun. Tr turally produced a rally from the low prices at the opening, which, while spirited, was short lived. London was a small seller, but has ceased to be a factor in our market as lementa were made with unexpected prompt- ness. Money was depressed from 15 at the opening to 6 by reason of the appearance of $1,000,000 in the loan crowd, which was offered in any amounts. It advanced to 10 per cent — but at 1:30 was offered freely in large blocks at 6. The fact that a prominent leader is repre- sented to have sold million dollars’ worth of stock proves that short salos by bear operators were not entirely responsible for the decline in ices. PFWVhile the money market has for days shown signs of improvement the custom of the banks to provide for the accommodation of their com- mercial clients before considering ilators and investors, has prevented: the reflection of this improvement in the price of stocks. ‘The steamer Havre brings to this side $395,- | 000 gold from London.

Kimball of the Police Court said that the sewerage system of the District ought to be extended, but he bad not examined the question of the pr Aoan, and therefore was not yet qualified to express an opinion in that matter. No money, however, could better be expended than in the perfect- ing of the sewerage system of the District. A COMPREHENSIVE SYSTEM OF IMPROVEMENTS. Mr. D.'D. Stone said that he favored strongly doing something to inaugurate a comprehen- sive acne improvements if” the to do anything that would disturb the present financial relations between the general govern- ment and the District. NECESSITY FOR IMMEDIATE MEASURES. In the opinion of Mr. Samuel Ross there is a vital necessity of some immediate measures be- ing adopted to improve and open streets. The growth of the population and the need of sup- plying them with homes has already outgrown our appropriations. He believed in making a laan and going on with the work of improvements. He was ly in favor of the bond proposi- tion, It was either that or an increase of taxes. THE IDEA AN EXCELLENT ONE. ‘Mr. Charles B. Pearson thought that the idea was excellent, and if it could be carried out properly and the money expended for these purposes there could be no question as to the benefit to the community. He believed in debt to @ certain extent, as it made le more energetic and enterprieing, and he = it would do the city no harm to have this debt. NOTHING TO BE SAID AGAINST IT. Gen. Ejlis Spear said that he is heartily in favor of the proposition. In fact he,said there is nothing that can be urged against it. It is the economical plan,as the land to be condemned for streets is growing more valuable all the time, and as it is a permanent improvement those who come after us ought to be willing to pay their share. The appropriations from Congress are uncertain and the bonds, by in- suring the money needed to complete the im- provements, would give a stability to values which in itself would be highly beneficial. WISE ECONOMY. Mr. Henry 0. Towles was surprised that something of the sort had not been done be- fore. He thought it would be the part of wise economy to take hold of the matter of public improvements and carry them out with no de- lay. He believed that ‘such a policy would be better for the city and, of course, for the citi- zens. A GooD PROPOSITION. Mr. R. Ross Perry said he thought the propo- sition a good one, and one which was fair and practicable. He was heartily in favor of developing the sanitary and other necessary and useful improvements of the city It seemed impossible to obtain from Congress such improvemerfts and it appeared that the proposed loan was about the only means left by which the de- sired improvements could be made. wor derful advancement of the District in valua- tion and progress ‘unquestionably the result of the improvements of its streets, roads, sewerage and lighting systems, and the Placing of the proposed loan ‘and its appropriation to such further im- rovements would result in a future for the ‘istrict and city hardly to be conceived of in the matter of progress and enhanced values. The District, it seemed to him, was atle to stand such a loan, especially as it appeared that Congress could not be depended upon to make adequate appro- priations. FAVORS CONTINUED IMPROVEMENT. District Attorney Birney stated that he had seen the matter mentioned in Tur Stax, but had not et given it much thought. Therefore, fe was hardly prepared or able to express an opinion in the matter. He was, however, thoroughly in favor of the continued improvement and development of the District.’ The one great danger in the matter, it seemed to bim, was the possibility that in the event of the loan being authorized Congress might decide not to longer continue the bearing of one-half of the expenses of the District. ———_—_. HEALTH OF THE DISTRICT. Slight Increase in the Number of Deaths Last Week. week ended on Saturday was 145, of which 73 were children under five years of age. During the corresponding period of iast July the total deaths were 155, of which 94 were children | less than five years old,” says the weekly report of Health Officer Hammett. “Ax compared with the preceding week, there was an increase of eight in total mortality, and a decrease of eight in that of children. A review of the week's hygienic conditions does not present any unusual feature, other than the almost total disappearance of scarlet fever, of which diseaso but one new case was re- ported, with no death, and the report of eight "new cases of diphtheria, with two deaths therefrom. There was a decrease in the deaths from diarrhceal diseanes of seven as com- pared with the previous report. Typhoid fever And all the train of malarial maladies as yet re- main in abeyance, while pneumonia and acute lung ailments are at, or rather below, their usual number at this season of the year, and up to the present time there has been no ap- pearance of cholera or any other epidemic, as gathered from the verbal reports of the medical profession and from the official reports of deaths, “Of the seven deaths by violence three were from falls, one run over by wagon, one smoth- ered by being overiaid, and two infanticides.”” The report shows: Number of deaths, 145: white, 66; colored, 79. Death rate per 1,000 per anaum: White, 17.6; colured, 45.6. Total opulation, 26.4. ‘Seventy-three were under Eis yours ot age Ghwere cocer one year old and 22 over 60 years. Twenty-six of the deaths occurred in hospitals and public institutions. The deaths by classes were as follows: Zymotic, 49; constitutional, $1; local, 48; developmental, ; violenee, 7. The principal causes of death were: Diph- eria, 2; consumption, 14; diarrheal, 38; erysipelas, 1; typhoid fever, 2; malarial fever, 1; pneamonia, 5; congestion of the lungs, 1 bronchitis, 3: kidney diseases, 8; meningitis, 2; cancers, 2.

Ornoff Contall and Frank Denner, two lemon peddlers, enriched the coffers of the District this morning to the extent of $§ each. They were charged with obstructing the sidewalk on the ‘south side of B street back of the market, the complaining of- ficer testifying that the two had been warned repeatedly not to obstruct the pavement, but that they persisted in stopping on the street, placing thoir baskets on the side- walk, and otherwise obstructing the passersby. “This practice must be stopped,” said the court, as he imposed the fine. serail 820,000 for Defending Lizzie Borden.

It is proposed to construct dams across East and Mill creeks and Little Falls branch; an open and paved channel from East creck around the reservoir to. point on Mill creek, around to the mouth of a short tunnel that will | carry into Little Falls branch above its dam | the combined waters of East creek and Mill creek, a# wellas the water that now falls di- rectly into the reservoir from the land contigu- | Dril ous to the reservoir, between Mill creek and the lower mouth of this tunnel. ‘A special provision is to be made for divert- ing from the reservoir, by means of small paved ditches, the water discharged from all that part of the little peninsula lying between the lower end of the reservoir and Little Falls branch; that is, outside the portion of this peninsula that must be purchased or condemned. The foregoing works, of which I will submit detailed plans and estimates as soon as the n surveys can be completed, will carry all of the drainage water that is to be d of, except the water of Little Falls branch, into branch. THE RECEIVING SHAFT OR WELL AND THE OUT- LET TUNNEL. Following are the plans and estimates of the cost of the shaft or well in the valley of Little Falls branch that is to receive all the drainage of the watershed, and also plaus and estimates of cost of the outlet tunnel: The well is to be on the right bank of Little Falls branch above its dam at the point marked K (see plat M),where there is firm ground, un- derlaid by rock. It is to be ten feet in diame- ter when lined and its coping is to be at or about the elevation of 148 feet above datum. Perse top of the dam isto be 157 feet above latum and the normal height of water in the reservoir is 146.5 feet above datum.) The depth of the well is tobe about 56 feet. It is to be lined with brick, backed by concrete. From above the water cushion that I propose to provide at the bottom of the well there will be run under Dalecarlia Hill and below tunnel No. 4 of the Washington aque- duet a tunnel, whose portal on the southerly side of the hill will be near the outer end of the tunnel leadingfrom waste weir No. 2, which is in aqueduct tunnel No. 4. From the portal, which will be at a lower level than the mouth of the tunnel leading from waste weir No. 2, an open channel will conduct the drainage water to the stream—the lower portion of Little Falls branch—that will carry it down to the Potomac. Through the drainage outlet tunnef will be laid a brick circular conduit, the vitrified brick invert of which will be laid on concrete. The space between the arch and the top end | sides of the tunnel will be packed in solidly with rabble stone laid in mortar. The conduit will be seven fect in diameter and have a grade of .0031, or .31 feet in 100 feet. Two reasons have governed me in fixing this grade, 1. Tt will pass the drainago tunnel as far under aqueduct tunnel No. 4 as practicable. UNDER THE CONDUIT ROAD, From the north connection for a distance of 168 feet aqueduct tunnel No. 4 is lined with brick and for a further distance of thirty-one feet it is lined with rubble stone of not very good quality, but from here, from within a few feet of the point of crossing below the aqueduct tunnel of the line of the drainage tunnel, the aqueduct tunnel is not lined. It is a great misfortune that Gen. Meigs did not completely line aqueduct tunnel No. 4, for, although the rock is fairly good, Ifound when I emptied the conduit between Great Falls and the distributing reservoir and inspected it in September, 1891, that there have been several slides from the roof and sides of the tunnel. A serious one, if itever occurs, will block up the tunnel and cut off the supply of water to the city, but it is too late to line it now. This can only be done after « duplicate conduit from Great Falls (which will doubtless some time, perhaps twenty years hence, be deemed necessary for the safety of the supply as well as for its increase) has been con- structed. A DELICATE OPERATION. ‘Theexcavation of the draining tunnel through Dalecarlia Hill and under the aqueduct tunnel will be a delicate operation. The blasting out of the former in auch « manner as not to pro- duce shocks and jars on the unsupported rock of the latter will have to be done with the great- | est care and caution on the part of all con- cerned. Else we may not only have falls of rock into the aqueduct tunnel, but the open ing of serious leaks throug! some of the numerous seams that exist everywhere in the rock. Such leaks, if large, not only would interfere with and add to the expense of the excavation of the lower (the drainage) tunnel, but they might bean irreparable damage to the upper (the aqueduct) tunnel through the difficulty of finding (by lantern light and the short periods of time during which the suj ply to the distributing reservoir can be inte Tupted without seriously impairing the head in the city mains) the sources of the leaks in this unlined tunnel. I should mention that all parte of the aqueduct tunnel are under pressure, as its roof is several feet lower than the level of the water in the distributing reservoir. 2 With a grade of 0081 ‘the velocity of the water in the conduit whon just full will be ten feet per second. This will be the condition of the conduit when the discharge from the entire watershed will be 385 cubic feet per sec ond, and this will obtain so farely that no abrasion of the invert by sand und pebbles car- ried along by the water need be feared. Tam told that in Washington there has not been found any abrasion of inverts of sewers when made of vitrified brick from vel as high een as 16 feet per second. When the well is supplied with less water than enough to make the conduit just full the velocities will be less than 10 feet per second, but at all times the velocities through the con- duit will be sufficient to prevent the lodgment of any detritus that is likely to be carried into tho well. With the quantity of water that in storms now produces a depth of six inches on the weir of the spillway (which is, under existing conditions, the only escay from the reservoir of the discharge from the watershed), the depth of water in the conduit will be as represented in section 2. The veloc- ity im thi case will be 81 feet per sec- ond. Storms that produce this depth of water on the weir of the » are very infrequent, and do not, on an erage, occur more than two or three times a year, There is no doubt, then, as to the capacity of the conduit to carry the amount of water dis- charged from watershed in ordinary storms, or of the safety of the lining of the drainage tunnel from abrasion, and the main Ascharged' inthe greatest ood end freuet in teat an that is able to occur and under the circum- stances most favorable for producing the percentage of discharge? This quan- tity, as we have seen, is 1.132 cubie feet per second. Befare the watertould be dammed up in the valley of Little Falls branch (and the two other valleys) and above the well to ficient height to allow the water to over the dams into the reservoir it would have to have a head over the lower mouth of the outlet conduit of 59.8 feet.

It is hoped that the remaining $90,000 of the $150,000 contemplated by Congress as the en- tire cost of this work, which is so important to the District of Columbia, will be voted at its next session. WORK AT THE RESERVOIRS LAST YEAR. A survey and plan for carrying off the drain- age from the underground valve chambers at the distributing reservoir was made during the year. The present outlet for this drainage is through a valley through private land which has recently been bonght by « syndicate and laid off in streets. It is liable to be stopped up atany time by the filling up of the val- ley. and in case of stoppage it would | cause the spring water in the ground around and above the arches (that now flows freely into the valve chambers through — made for the purpose) to submerge the main valves and prevent tho regulation of the supply of water to the city. It 18 proposed to lay dur- ing the next year, if money can be spared for ‘the purpose, an eight-inch iron pipe from the resent outlet of the drain, along and inside the southeastern boundary line of the United States’ land, a distance of about 500 feet, thence across private land to the canal, 2 distance of about 300 feet. The raising of the walls around the south connection of the Dale- carlia reservoir to prevent an undue strain on the conduit in floods was completed by pleeing the coping thereon. A masonry cham- r for the valve on the blow-off from the by- conduit at the spillway from the same reservoir was constructed of stone. IMPROVING THE RECEIVING RESERVOIR. duty to call especial attention to several works that are urgently needed. Sev- eral of these were mentioned in my last annual report, but have not yet been acted on by Con- gress.’ One of the most beneficial appropria- tions ever made for the Washington aqueduct since its completion in 1863 was the appropria- tion of $60,000 made at the last session of Congress for “improving the receiving reservoir by the works required for cutting off the drainage into it of polluted waters and sewage from the surrounding country, for the purchase or condemnation of the smail amount | of land required for the purpose and for the ex- | cavation necessary at the head of the reser- voir,” with the provision that the work should be done by contract or otherwise, as the Secretary of War may determine. This reser- voir has a capacity of 170,000,000 gallon: The utihty of the receiving reservoir for settling purposes and for storage (the distrib- uting reservoir bas at most only about four days supply for the city), led to the project for its improvement by the works required for ex- cluding all the water from its watershed that I have nlready described. That part of the pro- t that relates to the shaft in the valley of the ittle Falls branch, into which shaft all the water of the watershed is to be collected, and also the main drainage tunnel under Dalecarlia Hill, from the bottom of the shaft, bas been approved by the chief of engineers. ‘The appropriation of March 3, 1893, will be sufficient to execute this part of the work and to pay for several parcels of land required to be purchased or condemned for it. Work will be commenced as soon after July 1 as possible. The appropriation will be exhausted by July 1, 1894. The remainder ($90,000) of the sum of $150.000, to which the cost of the entire work was limited, will be required for the execution of the remainder of the entire project, viz: The dams across the three streams that enter the reservoir; the excavation and paving of the open channels (about one mile in length) that are to sround the reservoir and behind the dams to Little Falls branch; to pay for the | remainder of the Inud required to be pur- | chased or condemned, and to do the excavation necessary at the head of the reservoir. Ishould add that if it should be decided at some time in the future, following the ex- amples presented by the large cities of Burope, | to filter the Potomac river, it will be in- dispensable, in order to savea great part of the cost of the maintenance of the filters, to “settle” the water as much as possible before it enters the filters, and the receiving reservoir will then be available and even necessary for this purpose, for the reason that the filtration works must be at or near the lower (dis- tributing) reservoir, and there is no place other than the receiving reservoir that is suitable for the settling basin, which must, of course, be above the filtration works. MAINS. There are about twenty-one miles of trunk | mains under the care of this office. During | the last fiscal year there have been three breaks in them. Before another winter I intend to protect all of the vacuum valves by another | method, which, while it will be inexpensive and not interfere with ready access to the valves in cases of sudden necessity, will certainly be reliable and efficient. The casings of the 20-inch blow-off from the 48-inch main just above the Foundry branch culvert under the Canal road, and the It lege pond, have been protected by paving arount the casings. Ths lines of the! trunk | mains have been cxrefully inspected and flushed | monthly, and the valves have been regularly oiled and cleaned. VICTIMS OF THE DISASTER. ‘Twelve Now Known to Have Been Killed at Chicago. The most conservative estimates of the num- ber killed at the Chicago cold storage ware- house disaster shrinks slightly, The dead are now known to be twelve, while two sufferers are lying in the Emergency Hospital gasping away the few hours of Jife which are yet allot- ted them. The numbered dead include those who died in the hospital from their injuries, and the unfortunates whose charred and black- ened trunks were taken from the mass of debris.

Transfer Station to Be Arranged by the Treasury Department MANY OFFICIAL ORDERS. A Serious Complaint of the Carrying of Dead Antmals Down the River—Wants Ground for Five Stations—Important Orders and Promotions. —.——. The congested state of affairs at the corner of 15th street and New York avenue is about jto be relieved. For some weeks Capt. Powell has been considering this question and every detail has been carefully studied with respect to the arrival and departure of cars and the best mode of transfer between 14th Street and Georgetown cable lines. He has always been in favor of changing the G street transfer box to the west side of 15th street and believes that a depot of pleasing de- sign should Le erected on the sidewalk adjacent to the Treasury Department and in line with « prolongation of G street. ‘The stracture he thinks should be placed and arranged 80 as not to interfere with the con- venience or comfort of occupants of the treasury building. He believes also that the depot should be so located and be of such frontage that passengers in leaving the cars for transfers would naturally pass bebind the train and not iti front of the train approach- ing in the opposite direction. For example, he believes that all north-bound trains should pass G street and then stop where the Georgetown cars change cable, while south-bound train arriving just about the same time should, if in advance, cross the north line of G street, or if ctherwise, arriving at the same time, or immediately after the north-bound train, it should stop north of the depot until passengers transferred from the latter named train should have crossed the west track. Accordingly these suggestions were embodied in a letter to the president of the Washington and Georgetown Railroad Com- pany and he was invited to submit plans for «| proposed depot. These plans were submitted tectual arrangement. It shows an iron struc- ture extending the width of the sidewalk with acorrngated roof and a transfer box in the middle. Capt. Powell today had ono of his engineers prepare another plan more pre; elaborate in design, which, together with the | ans proposed by ‘the railroad company, will be'rubmitted to the Secretary of the Treasury for his approval. TODAY'S ORDERS, The Commissioners today ordered Capt. George McC.

CHEMIST HIRD ON MILK INSPECTION. The report of Professor Hird, chemist of the | health department, made to Health Officer | Hammett yesterday, shows that the milk re- | ceived here from the country is not all sold in the condition in which it ts received, as the it | vestigation shows that the milk obtained from | dairy wagons contained aun average of 20 per | cent less of cream than the samples taken at the depots. The report savs ‘Of fifty-eight samples collected from the Bal- | timore and Ohio only four were found to be be- | low 3 per cent fat and 12 per cent solids, while | of the fifty-mx collected from the Baltimore | and Potomac only two were found to be below j the same limits. The average percentage of fat for the 114 sampies of milk collected from | the depots was 372, | Of the seventy-nine samples collected about the city thirty-four, or 43 per cent, were be- low the 3 per cent fat and 12 per cent solids, and sbowed an average percentage of fat of 2.99, a deficiency of over 20 per cent in the eo- | tual amount of fat of the milk as supplied te the city. No coloring matter or antiseptics have been found in the milk the past week. There bas also been a wonderful improvement in the | milk in regard to its cleanliness, and were it possible to pass an order requiring the dairy- | men to register at this office the names « | addresses of their shippers unquestionably thi contamination previously referred to would en- } tirely disappear. | The result of my work the past month estab- | lishes one fact very clearly, and that is thats standard of 3.5 per cent of fat and 12.6 per | cont of solids is not too high, at least for this season of the year. TO PLACE A NEEDLE GATE. Engineer Commissioner Powell this after noon ordered the superintendent of sewers to proceed at once with the construction of a needle gate to be placed at the mouth of the James Creek canal. The object of this gate | is when closed to retain the water in the sewer, until such time as when it is releused it will completely wash out the mouth of the canal. It will be recalled that Capt. Powell bas given this matter considerable atten- tion and at first contemplated anchoring two tug boats in the stream and by starting their propellers bring about an artificial cur- rent. This, however, was found impracticable and the needle gate was adopted. THE SKIMMED MILK CASE. Although the attorney for the District has | decided in an opinion rendered to the Com- | missioners thst there is no law in |force in the District whereby deal- ers in skimmed milk can be punished the Commissioners propose to look further into | the subject and if they have the power will pass a police regulation prohibiting ite sale. The matter was discussed at the bosrd mecting this | afternoon. AN INSPECTOR OF GARBAGE COMPLAINTS.
