Thomas, attorney for the District, has returned to the Commissioners Senate bill 2198, relating to the witnessing of wills in the District of Columbia, with his opin- fon. After carefully examining the bill, he is unable to advise its favorable recom- mendation to Congress. In his opinion he “The effect of enacting this bill would be, first, to require two witnesses to wills of Personal property, which would be an unad- visable change in existing law; second, it would abolish non-cupative wills, which is also unadvisable, and thirdly, it would re- duce the number of witnesses to a will of real estate to two. If the object of the au- thor of this bill is to reduce the number of witnesses from three to two, to wills af- fecting real estate, which would be a desir- able change, it would be better to say so expressly, and confine the legislation to that int. Furthermore, the phrase, ‘and shall signed by the person devising and be- queathing the same, or by some person act- ing for him in his presence and by his ex- press direction,’ presents a dangerous feat- ure, which if enacted into Jaw might open wider the door to fraud than it is at preseat. A man may sign a will now by making a mark. The proposed legislation goes a lit- tle further than this, and in my judgment proposes an innovation of more than doubt- ful propriety.” ————— A Suit for Divorce. A suit for divorce has been filed by Susie Bealie against Joseph W. Bealle. They were married, says Mrs. Bealle, at Forest- ville, Md., August 30, 1888) Two children were born to them, one of whom died at the age of three months. July 24, 1892, the petitioner alleges,she was willfully deserted and abandoned by her husband, after he had become, she says, an habitual wife beater. The day befoi their little child Mrs. Bealle charges, her husband so brutally assaulted her t ye. Mrs. Bealle prays that she be granted a divorce, and that she be given the custody of the sur- viving child. > Dangerous Flames.

Neport of the Inspectors on Its Sani< tary Condition. ‘The Commissioners today recetved the port of the analysis of the water and Spection of the bathing beach from Health Officer Hammett. The inspection of the bathing beach and its surroundings was made by C. H. Welch and G. G. Sanders of the sanitary department, through orders from the health officer, from three different points. Their report to Health Officer Hame mett reads as follows: “Am inspection has been made of the inlet of the Potoma> river south of the Washington monument, known as the tidal reservoir and the bathing beach, situated on its northeast shore. The area is about one-third of a mile square, and it is sub- jected to an ebb and fiow tide of four ang a half feet twice every twenty-four hours through the channel at the south, “This basin is bounded on the east by @ reclaimed flat, and along the entire west line of the flat lies the old canal, into which the 17th street sewer empties. The flat 4s now tn process of filling, which is don by pumping material from the bottom o} the river and distributing it over the flat through pipes, the solid matter settling and the water draining off through sluice- Ways, three of which empty into the reser> voir, The location of this pum) station is east of the point where the canal, containing sewerage, empties into the river, and it is possible that some of the foul Water is taken up by the pumpage and conducted as herein described tnto the basin containing the bathing beach. Aside from this we were unable to discover any- thing that would in any way contaminate the water of the beach to such an extent 48 to be prejudicial to the health of the bathers. It is possible that some of the Sewerage may be brought in with the tide. “Samples of the water have been taken from the reservoir for analysis at different points, one immediately at the beach, an- other about where the water from the three slulceways is concentrated in its passage from the west to the east basin through @ channel about forty feet in width at low tide, and another from beneath one of the sluiceways, the result of which is append- ed.” The following is the analysis of the water from the bathing beach, taken from BF three different points: Parts per miilion—Solid, | monia, .38; albumii rine, 5.0; oxygen consumed, 6.4; “Et ts the opinion of Inspector J.
