THE BLODGE CLAIM AGAIN, It is Brought Up by an Agreement Filed W the Recorder. Papers nave been filed with the recorder of deeds embracing an agreement whereby Lorin Blodget agrees to sell to Stephea A. Dutton the south half of square 1:2, for H77,000; square 36%, for 661,500; square 808," for $441,000, and all land conveyed to Stephen Blodget, jr., during the yeafr livi ana 17%) which is laid down in the sched- ule of division, with the Commissioners, for $1. The action brings to public notice again the famous Bloaget claim, which has been pending before the courts in various forms for years. It made quite 4 scare among property holders ten or twelve years ago, but now it can be mentioned without: causing any unpleasant emotions, as those interested in the property covered by the claims seem to have been satistied that there is no real cause for alarm. An old tract of land called session of Samuel Blodget Philip Richard Fendall, dated January 12, 1792. This deed, for a consideration of 2),- 520 Mexicon silver dollars, passed the title to Blodget in fee, subject to an agreement le by a former owner, dated March 30, 1791, and afterward consentei to by Blodget, that this land, or any part there- of, should be used tor the “federal city,” and when laid off into lots, squares and streets, the lots should be divided between the United States and the original propri- etor. The city limits, as fixed by the original surveys, included all of “Jamaica,” except about 50 acres, now embraced in Le Drolt Park. When the subdivision of city lots was made between Blodget and the United Stztes commissioners a large number of kts were allotted to Blodget, the most of them within the lines of the “Jamaica” tract, but a small number lying outside of the lines. In the meantime, Mr. Blodget had acquired title to other lots in Wash- ington and Georgetown, including certain in square GSS, now embraced in the pitol grounds. Thus Mr. Blodget’s inter- . In lit, consisted of the ground allotted to him in the division mentioned, and not conyeyed by him, the few lots in the city and Georgetown otherwise acquired, and that part of “Jamaica” now included in Le Droit Park. By deed of mortgage 174, aud recorded April 23, 1704, Samuel Plodget conveyed to Thomas Johnson and Thomas Peter all his real estate in the District, then called the territory of Co- lumbia, to secure the payment of prizes in a certain lottery scheme. Other deeds and mortgages were subsequently made, the lottery drawing came off, and the capital prize was claimed by Robert S. Bickley of Ehifadeiphia, Pa. ‘The prize was not paid and Mr. Bickley brought suit in Pennsyl- vania and obtained judgment against Blodget. Mr. Bickley then brought sult in the District of Columbia October, 182, to foreclose the mortgage to Johnson and Peter, and on October 4, 1805, a decree was passed under which a‘large amount of property was sold. These sales were final- iy ratified by the court in June, 1806, and subsequently the property sold was convey- ed to the purchaser by the trustee appoint- ed in the cause. The proceeds of this sale not being sutft- cient to satisfy Mr. Bickley's judgment, a supplemental bill was filed, and on Novem- be: 5, 1813, further sales were decreed, which were afterward made, ratified by the court, and the property conveyed to the purchasers. The property scld and conveyed under these decrees included, it is said, all of Blodget’s land in the District except a very few lots which were not mentioned in the proceedings, o> were not regularly disposed of. The origina! papers relating to the sup- plemental proceedings are lost, and they were not recorded in the chancery records. The docket entries, however, appear, and very full recitals of the proceedings made in the deeds of conveyance are a mat- ter of record. With these conveyances, it is claimed, ended the interest of Samuel Blodget, and the land mentioned therein has been’ con- veyed, divided and subdivided, until it is now distributed among thousands of own- ers. After the sales under the above-mentioned decrees no definite claim appears to have dated January 28, | beer made by either Blodget or his de- | scendants to any title o> Interest in the property until IS82, when the descendants themselves and their agents, including therein, apparently, all the property that Samuel Blodget ever owned in the District of Columbia. Suits were brought against | various persons, and a stock company was formed in Philadelphia to recover thé | “Blodget estate.” | The suits were discontinued or dismissed y the court. The financial institutions in rict of Columbia that loan money on real estate attach no importince to the claims of the Blodgets.

NON-APPEARANCE OF THE VIGILANT ——-+. Santo, Carnot’s Murderer, Does Not Appeal. GENERAL FOREIGN AFFAIRS COWES, Isle of Wight, August 7.—In the race for her majesty’s cup in the Royal Yacht squadron regatta today, for all yachts belonging to the squadron, Old Queen's course revised, the Prince of Wales’ cutter Britannia, Emperor Wil- Nam's cutter Meteor (formerly the Thistlé), Admiral Montague's forty-rater cutter Ca- rina, Lord Dunraven's sixty-two-rater L'Esperance, W. R. Cookson's forty-rater Castanet and the sixty-one-rater Mohawk started at 10 a.m. The Britannia crossed the line before the gun was fired and was therefore disqualified. The Carina led, fol- lowed by the Meteor. The weather was brilliant. Everybody interested in yachting seemed to be here today, for the visit of the Vigilant has aroused an interest in yachting never be- fore manifested, even at these English heedquarters of the most aristocratic aquatic tournaments. Of course there is disappointment at the @isqualification of the Britannia at the start; but there is more disappointment at the fact that the Vigilant, not being to compete for the queen's cup. However, both Vigilant and Britannia are entered for tomorrow's ra > when they will compete for the Royal Yacht sa prize of £100 for all yachts ex- cteding forty-one rating belonging to any yacht club. The race tomorrow will be over the Queen's course, which has already been proved to be eminently suited to the American yacht, as it has but four turns, and is likelv to enable her to win enother victory 0\ - the Prince of Wales’ cutter. ‘The two yacht spent the day in repair- ing the damage which they sustained through scraping the shore in the luffing match which took place off Ventnor yes- terday.

P. for South Tyrone, in an article in today’s Pall Mall Gazette con- cerning the future of the evicted tenants bill, urges the adoption of an amendment making the reinstatement of the evicted terants voluntary instead of compulsory. The change in the bill, he thinks, would place the’ house of lords in a position to pass it. The liberal unionist leaders considered Mr. Rvssell's proposal at a special meeting held today under the chairmanship of the Duke of Devonshire, Sir William Harcourt, in the house of commons today, replying to a question put by Samuel Woods, a labor representative and one of the members for Lancashire, said that he hoped the government would be able in 1805 to introduce a bill providing for the payment of members of parliament. The Hon. Wm. St. John Fremantle, cot servative member for the Guildeford 4i- vision of Surrey, moved the rejection of the evicted tenants bill.

PORTLAND, Oreg., August 7.—From every section of the state come favorable reports from the hop yards. The hop louse is confined to a few sections, and the ray- ages of that pest have not proved exten- sive. Indications are that the crop will be very large this season. A dealer in hops said: “I think you can safely say that the yield of hops for 184 will be the largest known in this territory, or this state. Foi this there are two reasons. One is acreage. Roughly, I should estimate the yield for Oregon this year will not be less than 60,000 bales. = Bea PLEASURE AND PROFIT 8 A Large Attendance at theGonzaga College An Outdoor Entertainment With Many Attractive Featgres—A Miniature Midway Plaisance, The festival and lawn party in aid of the erection of a new hall for Gonzaga College opened Jast night in a blaze of glory. ‘At 7 o'clock the gates of the college grounds were thrown open and hundreds of people were admitted during the evening.

The long contest waged by the Murphy family to secure legal status as members of the Sac and Fox tribe of. Missouri Indians has probably received its final veto in a report made by Representative Curtis of Kansas, from the committee on Indian af- fairs, against the bill. Murphy is not an Indian name, but the Murphys in question have been long affiliated with the Indians, and claim, through their ancestors, to have acquired a strain of Indian blood, which would entitle them to allotments of the par- ticularly fertile and well-improved lands which the tribe controls in Nebraska and Kansas. For several years the government in various branches has had under con- sideration the wrongs of the Sac and Fox Murphys. In the first instance, the Indians overruled the claim of kinship, whereupon the Murphys appealed to the i of Indian affairs, who sustain of the tribe, holding the family to be aliens. | | ‘Then the case went to the Secretary of the Interior on appeal, and he decided adversely to the kinship claim, his decision being par- ticularly valuable because it sustains the interesting principle that in contentions of this nature it is the prerogatives of the tribes to decide who are their members, These facts are set forth in Mr. Curtis’ re- port, which will avail to keep the Murphy family without the tribe.

THE FOURTH PRECINCT SCANDAL A Curious Arrest Just Before the Transfer. THE JUDGE’S COMMENTS The thirteen policemen who were trans- ferred from the fourth precinct yesterday and scattered in the various precincts, from the Navy Yard to Georgetown, as published in yesterday's Star, went on duty in their new fields this morning. Before leaving the Pwecinct, however, two of the number, Officers Mulvey and Whalen, arrested a colored man named Sam Newton es an al- leged parting shot at Sergt. Daley. Sam is a colored man who has probably given the police more information concerning thieves and the location of their plunder than any other one man. Until a few days ago he had lived in-a house on Maine avenue, al- leged@ to have been conducted as a disrep- uiable house. The house was raided and Sam arrested, but the charge was. nolle prcssed. Last night, at fifteen minutes be- fore 12 o'clock, the officers mentioned ar- rested bim. He was in Kelly’s saloon, cor- ner of Willow Tree alley and B street, at the time, and the officers who arrested him said he was not noisy. They knew he had worked for Sergt. Daley, and they were on- ly to remain in the precinct fifteen minutes lorger. Sam did not come into court this morn- ing and plead guilty, but he had a lawyer and made a fight. Judge Taylor heard the evidence. The officers said that Sam was not a working man, but that for some time prior to the raid he lived in the house of ill-fame. They did not charge that he was . they seen him noisy. ‘The officers thonght he had been ‘Warned to keep away from that part of the city. They also said that complaint had been made by citizens. Lawyer Ambler questioned them concern- ing the persons who made the complaints. He asked if violators of the law, keepers of “speak easies,” persons who did a Sunday busin end Mrs. Shea had not made the complaints, but the officers said not, that the complaints, or some of them, had been made by business people. “Where dia you arrest the defendant?” Judge Taylor inquired. “In Kelly's saloon,” was the response of one of the officers. “Where is that?” “Corter of Willow Tree alley and B street.”” Was he making any noise?” ‘0, sir. “I don't see why you should select one man and let the others go,” the court re- marked. “I'll venture the remark that on every. trick of duty the officers see a dozen or more men as respectable as this man appears to be, and do not arrest them. “And,”: he added, “I'll also venture the remark that at the time of Newton's ar- rest there were six men in the place every bit as bad, if not worse, than Newton, and that they were not arrested. It is not ex- actly the proper thing to make fish of one Mr. Pugh endeavored to defend the action of the officers, and said that the court should not take into consideration the fact that others were not arrested. Sergt. Daley was‘then called by the de- fense and he characterized Newton as a law-abiding citizen.” Witness said that dur. ing his service in the precinct, up to a week ago, Newton had been arrested once and acquitted. He said that Newton had been of great assistance to the police; that he had turned up any number of thieves and had been the means of returning a great quantity of stolen property. Detective Horn was next sworn, and he gave similar evidence. He also told of the service that Newton had done for the of- fieers at police headquarters. When asked by Mr. Pugh what Newton had been doing, Detective Horne replied: “Working for Flathers and Barry getting information.” He knew that the defendant had been paid for his services from headquarters and he also thought he had worked at a coal yal The defendant then told his story. He said he had been living in McCullough street since the raid, and last night he was engaged in getting information for the de- tectives when he was arrested. His mother, he said, sends him money from Pittsburg, and he also does odd jobs other than at the coal y He told of the raid made on the verai days ago, admitted that he kins, but denied that he was a drunkard or vagrant. “Personal bonds,” said the court, without making any comment. —— THE POTOMAC FLATS. Maj. Davis’ Report of the Work Done During July. Maj. Davis has made a report to the chief of engineers in regard to operations for the improvement of the Potomac river during the month of July. He says that dredging in the Virginia channel, under the contract ef the San Francisco Bridge C was continued until July 26, when the con- tract was completed. Satisfactory progress | was made, and 1,700 linear feet of channel | dredged during the month, the amount of | material removed being 3 cuble yards. At the date of completion of the contract hannel had been dredged to a width 4%) feet and a depth of 2 feet for a distance of 6,300 feet. The excavated ma- terial was largely sand and was mainly de- posited on section II of the reclaimed area between the sewer canal and the tidal res- ervoir, A small amount was deposited on section I. The total amount of dredgi under the contract of the San F Bridge Co. was 864,195 cubic yard: wreck of a scow was uncovered and re- moved during the progress of the dredging in the channel during July. What Has Been Done. In execution of the project for the im- provement of the Potomac there has been dredged a channel from 3%) to feet wide and 20 feet deep through the bars between Georgetown and Giesboro’ Point. In the Washington channel the navigazion channel was dredged to a width of 360 feet | and a depth of 20 feet, but the ruling | depth has since been decreased by freshets to 18 feet. The area between the naviga- | tion channels and the wall on section TT | has been dredged to a depth of 12 feet. The redredging of the navigation channel be- tween the Long bridge and the upper end of the arsenal grounds has beer compieted between the turn in the channel near th upper end of the arsenal reservation and the Long bridge. The remainder of th channel from the upper end of the arsenal grourds to its junction with the Virginia channel Is still to be widened to 400 feet and made 20 feet deep, the material to be | deposited on section III. The widening | and deepening of the Virginia channel be- | low the Long bridge so as to facilitate the | discharge of freshets and prevent overflow | In the city is still incomplete. The r voir outlet is complete, except the railing. The Recinimed Aren, All the material ts being deposited on the flats, and practically the entire area to be reclaimed has been raised above the over- flow at ordinary high tide. Of the 12,000,000 cubic yards, estimated to fill the flats to the required height, there has been deposited on them about 10,208,584 cubic yards. The cutting of brush on the reclaimed flats will be continued during August. > ——____— Kansas Land Claims.

Wilson, corps of engineers, has made a report to Gen. Casey of the opera- tions on public buildings and grounds dur- ing the month of July. He says that ar- 1angements “Have been made for painting the exterior of the White House, and also for painting the east room, and blue and green parlors. A new carpet has been or- dered for the blue parlor, to replace the one formerly used, which is worn and badiy stained. Arrangements have also been made for ying granolithic pavement in place of the old slab pavement on the north front of the mansion, and the work will be done so soon a® the necessary appropriation shall have been made. The construction of a new door tn place of a window in the rea parlor has been completed. The grounds within the limits ef* the iroh fences sur- rounding the Executive have been maintained in excellent condition, in spite ct the drought. Col. Wilsom-says that the pubhe began usfhg the ellipse as a line of pedestrian travel.{rom the street just west of the treasury to the monument grounds, and @ trespass. path appeared across the lawn. A wire protection was placed on each side, and warning boards were again erected. “It_is unfortunate,” -he says, “that just as the efforts to remove from the public grounds all warning boards to ‘keep off the grass’ had been successful, some thought- jess persons rendered it necessary that they should again be placed at this locality, in order that the beautifur“ellipse wuld not be disfigured by trespass paths.” The Washington Monument. The Washington mcnument, the lodge and botler house have been maintained in good ccndition, There was only one interruption in the running of the elevator during the month, due to a defective gasket in the main steam pipe, which was promptly re- paired. But one act of vandalism was ncticed during the month. Some miscreant broke off a piece from the handsome stlver- work in the block presented by the state of Michigan. During the month 12,277 persons visited the top of the monument, 2.885 of whom went up by the stairway, making a total of 0,686 persons who have visited the top since the shaft was opened to the public, October ¥, 1888. Parks and Reservations. The parks and reservations received their usval care and attention, and are reported to be in fine condition. About 31,000 bed- ding and tropica: plants were distributed among the parks for decorative purposes, thus completing the outdoor planting for the season. Col. Wilson says it is to be re- sretted that lack of funds prevents some of the smaller reservations south and east of the Capitol from receiving as much atten- tion as they deserve; this is particularly true of the reservation ct the intersection of Massachusetts avenue, Ist street. and Delaware averue, where malicious boys lave broken the trees and the benches, in- Jured We fountain by filling the drain pipes and breaking the jets, and doing more or less other damage. The nearest government watchman is located in Stanton Park, sev- eral blocks distant. More Funds Wanted. “There are a number of unimproved reser- vations west cf the Capitol and north of | Pennsylvania avenue,” says Col. Wilson, sie h from their prominent positions want and demand immediate improvement. Owing to the lack of funds and reduced ap- propriations nothing could be done to beau- ufy them during the past year, and it seems evident that the funds available for the present fiscal year will hardly be suffti- cient to maintain in good order the reser- vations already improved. Special appro- priations have been requested and plans prepared for handsome improvements at the reservation at the southeast corner of ania avenue and 14th street, for University reservation and for the reservation which will be known as Han- cock Place, corner of Pennsylvania avenue end 7th street. The first mentioned reser- vation is an eyesore to its surroundings, end is the resort of idle persons. Its prom- inence demands its improvement, and I carnestly hope that the necessary appro- rriation may be made at an early day. — posing of Garbage. Health Officer Woodward said to a Star reporter this morning that the garbage out- look is not at all promising. The garbage is now being delivered at Kintz’s wharf, Broad creek, he says, and Mr. Kintz will be able to receive the coilections for about another week. Then, he sald, something will have to be dove. He favors the erec- tion of a crematory, or reduction plant, and he hopes Congress will pass the bill provid- ing for the erection of such an establish- ment. Castoria For Infants and Children.
