As stated In The Star several days ago, the compilation of the laws of the District will, it is expected, be ready for submis- sion to the Supreme Court of the District not later than the Ist of December next. The compilation, it will be remembered, was authorized by Congress March 2, 189, The ct. empowered and directed the District Supreme Court to appoint two commission- ers learned in the law to “compile, arrange and classify, with a proper index, all &tat- utes and parts of statutes in force in the said District, including the acts of the sec- ond session of the Fiftieth Congress, and relating to all such matters as would Properly come within the scope of a civil and criminal code.” Shortly after the passage of the act the court appointed Wm. Stone Abert and Benj. G. Lovejoy, two members of the Dis- trict bar, as the two commissioners au- thorized by the act, and in June, 189, the work was begun. Mr. Lovejoy soon after- ward died, however, and Mr. Reginald Fen- dall was appointed in his stead. Mr. Fen- dall finding that his professional duties would not permit him to give his exclusive time to the work it was mutually ar- ranged that Mr. Abert should proceed with it, and in consequence the work has so far devolved almost entirely on him. A Talk With Mr. Avert. In conversation with a Star reporter to- day Mr. Abert stated that the task im- posed upon the commissioners was one of the greatest magnitude and one even ex- ceeding the conception of the profession. He had soon realized that it was one far beyond anything he had imagined, but hav- ing accepted the appointment he had de- termined, despite the loss of time and mon- ey, to iinish his part of the work, and he was now in a position to view its practi- cally early completion. As slightly indica- uve of the amount of laborious research necessary, Mr. Abert explained that he was compelled to ‘search through the British Statuies in force in Maryland at the Ume of the cession by Maryland of the terri- tory to the United States; the Maryland statutes from 174 to I8ul; the Revised Stat- utes of the United States, relating to the District; the acts of the legislative assem- bly of the District from June 2, 1871, to June 26, 1873; the Revised Statutes of the United States ‘exclusively in force in the District, and all staiutes of the Uuited States i which the District is specifically mentioned. It was ut first thought that the ordinances of the corporations of Washington, George- town and the Levy court, should’ also oc- cupy a piace in the compilation, but the court decided that they were not statutes in the meaning of the act, and consequent- ly, stated Mr. Abert, they will not appear. Congr ional Action Needed. It bad been thought by many, remarked Mr. Abert, that the compilation when ap- proved by the District. Supreme Court would be the law of the District, but such would not be the case unless Congress made the compilation the law by special enactment. The approval of the compita= tion by the court merely authorized the publication by the government printing of- fice of 5,000 copies of the work, ‘a volume which Mr. Abert thought would exceed in size the Revised Statutes of the United States. The compilers and revisers of the United States Statutes,further explained Mr. Abert were authorized to omit obsolete laws, harmonize inconsistent ones and to generally revise the statutes, but in. the compilation of the District laws no such authority was given the commissigners and hence all laws not absolutely and un- questionably repealed were required to be inserted. Then, too, stated Mr. Abert; the commissioners appointed to | revise the United States statutes were authorizéa to submit the revtsion in Part, when so much of their work was made the law of the land by special enactment of Congress, the same course being pursued when the remaining parts were reported, so that when the work was finally completed Congress expressly repealed all laws inconsistent with of abe tagonistic to the statutes as revised. ‘The Value of the Work. But, said Mr. Abert, while Congress had rot so provided in the matter of the com- pilation of the District laws, the work would nevertheless prove of great value as showing what laws were in force within the District; and especially would it prove of value in the compiling of a District code, should one ever be authorized. Up to the present time, said Mr. Abert; the compilation embraced seventyrent chapters, of which seventy-one had mr completed, revised and indexed, while the remaining seven had yet to be revised and Indexed. Before the work was ready fer submission more chapters might be found necessary, but at the present time the seventy-eight chapters of were as follow: Ce te Comptied Chapters, 1. Abatement.

In explanation of the form of the com- pilation, Mr. Abert stated that while mar- ginal notes and references had not been directed in the act authorizing the com- pilation, yet they would appear, and that branch of the work had been a matter of great labor. Taking chapter 39, Landlord and Tenant, as an example, Mr. Abert ex- plained that the chapter comprised seventy- six sections, the first section reading as fol- lows: “The power claimed and exercised as of common right by every landlord, of seizing, by his own authority, the personal chattels of his tenant for rent arrear, is abolished.” ‘The marginal note to that section reads: “Sec. 677, R. S., D. C., Feb. 22, 1867, 14 stat., 401. “Power of seizure of chattels’ for rent by landlord in person abolished. At the bottom of the page appears the following foot or cross-reference note: ‘2 Mackey Rep,, 36, Johnson vs. Douglass; 6 Mackey Rep., 350, Cowdon vs. Gray. Pen- alty for knowingly renting house or room for gambling purposes, see First Legisla- tive Assembly, chapter 16, page 16, July 20, 1871. See ante title, ‘Gambling,’ sec. 8."" In such a manner, remarked Mr. Abert, every chapter in the compilation would be treated, thereby leaving, he hoped, nothing \o be desired in the way of information and reference. The chapter headings wil form the first index of the particular subject matter of the |A Ratirond’ chapters, and then at the end of the work they will be repeated as another index, the chapter head-notes, and also, arranged al- phabetically, the double or cross index, ex- haustively prepared. Thus indexed, he felt assured any subject could at once be found. ‘The Cost of the Work. Mr. Abert stated that’he was well aware that the work was somewhat impatiently awaited, but he trusted its great magnitude would not be overlooked. The task had been no less difficult than that of Messrs. J. Vaughn Abbott, Victor C. Barringer and Judge Chas. P. James, the commissioners who made the revision of the United States statutes, each of whom had received a c»m- pensation of $15,000, besides an annual allow- ance of $2,000 for clerical expenses, and who were nine years in making the revislot ‘The commissioners engaged in the compli: tion of the District statutes had been at work for four years, had been allowed in all that time but $2,600 for clerical expenses and were to receive but $1,500 each for their labors. Of course, it was quite true, sald Mr. Abert, that the commissioners had not given all of their time to the compilation during the four years, but nevertheless, the work had been pursued conscientiously and with but a single purpose—to make the work all that it should be. He did not pre- tend that the compilation would be a per- fect one, for undoubtedly mistakes ard omissions would appear in_it, and for that reason he deeply regretted ‘the fact that {t could not have been presented for honest criticism and correction as the different parts of it were from time to time com- pleted. ——>_—_ JUDGE LONG’S PENSION.

The Effect Which Accidents Have on Engineers and Firemen, From Loudon Tid Bits. Of the superstition of sailors, fisherfolk and others we have all heard, but that such a distinguishing characteristic should have attached itself to railway men does not ap- pear to be generally known, It savors somewhat of the anomalous that such a pre-eminently practical class of men should be the victims of credulity regarding the supernatural. Such, however, is the case. I recently had occasion to interview a prominent railway official, and in the course of the conversation that ensued that gentle- man incidentally alluded to two collisions which had lately occurred in the nelghbor- hood, following up iu!s remarks with the an- nouncement that the local men would be in a state of subdued excitement and “flurry” until a third mishap tock place. Such is the superstition of the railway man. Upon expressing considerable astonishment I was assured that this kind of thing was notorious among railway men in general, and in this particular instance it was known that the circumstances of the two previous accidents were the chief topics among the workmen in all departments, who were also counting on the possibilities f a third disaster. oiCuriousiy enough, a touch of realism was lent to the Information just imparted by the explanation that the second of the two col- listons referred to was due to the driver of one of the enzines, a reliable servant, noted for his alertness and precision, with an honorable record of some forty years’ ser- vice, who was, it was belleved, so disturbed over the “omens” of the first occurrence and so engrossed with what he felt would be two other catastrophes that he com- mitted the slight error of judgment which caused his locomotive to crash into another coming in an opposite direction, The state- ment is given as the conviction of one who has spent upward of a quarter of a century among railroad men of all classes, and "who has known the driver alluded to for a long period of years. So came about a second collision. Surely superstition could go-no further than this. But here is a tragic sequel—a sequel witch, unfortunately, will in all probabili- ty do imuch to strengthen the reprehensible beliefs of these men. Two days after the interview above mentioned, within fifteen minutes’ drive from the scene of the sec- end collision, an express mail fatled to take the points, a portion of the train with the tender of’ the engine was violently thrown across the rails and one poor stoker killed. This is what the railway men will term ‘their “third mishap.” “There's the third,” they say; and now perhaps they will breathe freely for a season. ——___-0+_____ A GREAT ARTIFICIAL WATERFALL. Novel Method of Dispos- ing of a Troublesome Stream, From the New York Herald. Making a mountain stream run over and above a railroad track is a unique piece of engineering that the Southern Pacific com- pany is shortly to commence near Wright's Station, in the Santa Cruz mountains, in California. Last spring there was a big landslide at the northern end of the long tunnel near Wright's Station which caused a blockade.of the South Pacific Coast road for a number of weeks and caved in about @ hundred feet of the tunnel. The moving side of the mountain, as it came down the canyon, filled up the bed of a large moun- tain stream to such an extent that it was five or six feet higher than the track, while before it was several feet lower. The creek is dry now, but during the rainy season, unless its course is diverted, the mountain torrent will sweep over the road 80 as to make its operation at that point impossible. The officials first entertained the idea of carting away large quantities of dirt te lower the bed of the stream to its old level. But that plan was abandoned because of the great expense It would entail, and it was decided to extend the tunnel northward 200 feet and past the point where the stream crosses the track by an arch of solid masonry, Plans for this stone tunnel have been completed. The arch will be twenty feet high and be composed of huge blocks of stone that will stand the wear and tear of the weather for years. On the inside it will have the same width and height as the tunnel prop- er, and, will be constructed in such a man- ner that the stream of water flowing over it will not percolate through. The top of he arch, when finished, will be about fif- jeen feet above the present bed of the Stream, go the latter will have to be raised up td its level. This will necessitate filling in for a distance of several hundred feet. * ‘Ag the stream flows over the top of the stoné arch it will have a fall of not less than twenty feet on the other side of the track. It will be a precipitous fall, and during the winter time, when the volume of water is large, it will make a very pret- ty waterfall. The officials are inclined to think it will be the largest artificial water- fall in the world. ———+e+____ The Case of Martha Heuer. ‘The case of Martha Heuer, a German im- migrant, presents several interesting ques- tions, She arrived at New York three weeks ago. She said she was a German variety singer, and was debarred from landing on the ground that her character was bad. She appeared at New York again a few days ago, and had considerable money in her possession. This time she gave her name as Miss Reary, and said she was an actress. The immigration commissioner again denied her admission, and it is ex- pected an appeal will be taken to the Sec- retary of the Treasury. a ‘Those Who May Not A; ye The examinations in stenography and typewriting advertised for Monday, the 30th instant, will not be given to residents of the District of Columbia and Maryland.

A Piece Farniture Used by the Author of the “Snints’ Rest.” Perhaps there are few pieces of furniture in the world upon which such a large num- ber of people could look with reverence as upon the chair which was in the study of the renowned Richard Baxter when he wrote that widely read book “The Saints’ Everlasting Rest.” Through the kindness of a friend in England this chair has re- cently come into the possession of Rev. Reuben Thomas, D. D., of Brookline. The chair is,of the old-fashioned sort, such as was in common use two hundred years ago, and is upholstered in leather. It has rather a straight back, is spacious, com- fortable and remarkably well preserved. When Baxter died the chair was placed in the Broad Street Congregational Church in London and there it remained for nearly two hundred years, or until the was torn down, when it came into the pos- session of the last pastor, Rev. William O'Neill, At thé death of ‘the the chair was inherited by his son, William O'Neill of London, and he has many times received offers for it from historical so- cieties. All of these offers were declined, and at last he determined to dispose of the chair by presenting it to his friend, Dr. ‘Thomas. If ove talks with Dr. "Thomas, says the Boston Transcript, about the relic he tells in the most interesting way the story of the life of the famous preach- er; how he was arrested and sent to for his views and subsequently released in 1685; how when King William III entered England the persecption of Baxter ceased, and the last days of his life were spent in peace, after @ most eventful career. His teachings, says Dr. Thomas, may be sum- med up in the few words that were said of him: “He was the first man since apostol- ic times to teach publicly that all who from their hearts confessed that Christ was Lord belonged to the true Catholic Church.” The teaching of this simple doc- trine, which is now generally accepted to be the true one, says the doctor, was the basis of all his persecution. ——_ + o- —___ They Paid the Bil. From the Chicago Inter-Ocean, ‘Two southern planters, one from Alabama and the other from Louisiana, met one day in New Orleans after the war. One, the colonel, had been in the confederate army, but the other, the judge, from some phys- ical disability, had remained at home, and had managed to save a small portion of his fortune from the wreck, enough to live on comfortably in his declining years, but the cotonel had lost everything; in fact, was in straitened circumstances. The judge greeted his friend warmly, and insisted on the col- onel’s dining with him, which invitation the latter gladly accepted. Accordingly, after partaking of a few drinks by way of appetizers at the bar of the St. Charles Hotel, they adjourned to a fashionable restaurant. After a prelimi- nary mint julep or so the judge called for the bill of fare, and the waiter quickly complied with his request, placing before that gentleman a menu with a wine list at tached, not printed, but written out in a very fine hand. The judge and his friend selected certain dishes and gave a liberal order for wine with every course. The re- past over, the judge and the colonel still tarried, discussing old times before the war, and disposing of bottle after bottle. At last, ‘becoming a little confused in their jeas, they concluded to get a carriage and take a ride along the she!l road to the old Spanish fort. The judge, before rising, called to the waiter for the bill. The latter, seeing no preparation for departure, thought he meant the bill of fare, which was accordingly brought. The judge sol- emnly adjusted his glasses and commenced to add it up on both sides, making a total of over $10). The colonel, who during this operation had been nodding off to sleep, was awakened by a loud exctamation from the judge, and on inquiring the reason the latter shouted out in a loud voice: “Extor- tion, sir! They have charged us $lw for this’ little sitting. It is outrageous, and I will not submit to it.” The colonel, rising and laying one hand on his friend's breast, said in a persuasive manner: ‘There is no doubt, judge, that it is a swindle of the deepest dye. But for all that do not dis- pute the account. Remember, you are a southern gentleman, judge. Pay the bill, but shoot the landtord.” Of course, when the judge proceeded to settle, everything was satisfactorily explained, and the judge, colonel, landlord and waiter all “smiled.’ The Woman's Association. ‘The opening session of the Woman's Cen- tenary Association at the Church of Our Father yesterday afternoon was one of un- usual interest. The report of the treasui Mrs. M. M. Dean of this city, showed that there was a cash balance on hand of $13,197.18. Addresses on the history and progress of the association were delivered by Mrs. Quinby, Mrs. M. A. Adams of Massachusetts; Rev. Q. H. Shinn of [ilinois, | and Rev. Dr.’ Rogers, the pastor of the | church. Mrs. D. L. R. Libbey of New York made an address on the importance of missionary work. The last address was | made by Mrs. E. L. Sherwood of this city on the changes in the constitution. The | president, Mrs. C. A. Quinby of Maine, pre- | sided. In the evening the church was occupied by members of the generab convention and | the general public, and a platform meeting was held under the auspices of the conven- tion, A number of addresses were made on the various activities of the church. Of especial interest was the address of Kev. Joseph Jordan of Virginia, the first colored missionary of the church.’ He asked for aid for his work in the south, and he spoke with so much enthusiasm that a collection | was taken up and resulted in raising the sum of $2,500. jin th el SECOND DAY'S WORK NO MORE BIENNIAL CONGRESSES Instead Conferences Will Be Held in Different Sections. ‘The session this morning began as usual with @ prayer and praise service, which was conducted by Rev, W.

This matter gave rise to @ general and exhaustive discussion of the question of the finances of the Universalist Church, the chief point at issue being as to the division of the funds of the church, whether they. should go in equal parts to the state and general conventions or whether the division should be in the proportion of three-fifths for the former to two-fifths for the latter, The first division, the one recommended by the committee, was adopted and the further consideration of the report was laia on the table until the afternoon ses- sion.
