DISTRICT BOUNDS The Results of the Original Research of Mr. Marcus Baker. COLUMBIA HISTORICAL SOCIETY MEETING Stones Set Up on the District Line a Century Ago. MEMORY OF L’ENFANT A good many facts of interest were brought out last night at the meeting of the Columbia Historical Society at the residence of the president, Dr. J. M. Toner, 1445 Massachusetts avenue. This was the fourth meeting of this newly-organized society, and the first held since the summer vaca- tion. A number of the members have not yet returned to the city, and the attendance was, therefore, not large. In addition to the members there were quite a number who had accepted invitations to be present. ‘The subject presented for the consideration of the society was “The Boundary of the District of Columbia,” and Mr. Marcus Baker read a highly-interesting and in- structive paper. The topic was not a new one to Mr. Baker, for last year he treated a kindred theme in a paper which he read before the National Geographic Society on the surveys of the District, which will be published in the proceedings of that body. The paper read by Mr. Baker last even- ing contained the important results of some original research which has occupied his spare moments during the past summer. As there is no official record of the stones which are set up more than 100 years ago to mark the boundaries of the then ten miles square, known as the District of Co- jumbia, Mr. Baker determined to ascertain whether these stones were still in existence and their condition. From an examination previously made of one or two of the stones which marks each mile on the four lines, he learned that they contained the record of the variation of the compass. From recent surveys he found that the modern reading of the compass differed from that of the record contained on these stones, and the extent of this variation, he said, was a matter of scientific interest. Condition of the Stone: He gave a short but interesting account of the instructions issued by Gen. Washing- ten for surveying the bounds of the Disrtict, and said that they showed the practical Knowledge which the first President po- sessed of the science of surveying. Each of the four lines, it was specified, should be ten miles long, but Washington added that they should be continued to the point of meeting. The lines were not exactly the length provided. The eastern line,for exam- ple, was some 2W feet longer than the supulated length, and there was also a small excess in one of the other lines. The bounds of the District, therefore, instead of being square formed an oblong. Mr. Baker's personal tour of observation of these stones began with the first stone which was set Up at Hunting Creek, below Alexandria. As this stone is now in the foundation of the lighthouse at that point, it could not be examined. The next stone, going north, is in the back yard of Dr. Babbitt's house, in Alexandria. These stones, he said, were two feet high by one foot square, and were made of the sandstone whicn was used for — Ps ern aco of the Capitol and the resident’ jouse and the early d | Serre early department At this point Mr. Baker paused to call at- tention to the perishable character of such records. Although they had been graven on Stone, yet a little more than one hundred years after the record had been made it Was practically obliterated. He said that the stones in Virginia were in a very bad condition, having been used apparently dur- ing the war as targets for rifle practice. Those in Maryland were in better condition, but even with the best of them it was diffi- cult to decipher the inscriptions. AW je Record. His account of his search for these stones and the difficulties in locating them afforded @ good deal of amusement. While it was possible, with the aid of a map to get with- in the near vicinity of the stones, yet the exact spot where they stood could only be learned by patient tramping through woods and fields and inquiry from those who lived in the locality. The first stone on the Mary- land side, he said, is located near the Con- duit road and its situation is marked by its near proximity to the ruins of an old cock- pit, which was frequented by those fond of this brutal sport, who were obliged to go outside of the District in order to gratify their tastes in this particular. A similar cockpit was found near a boundary stone which is on the Naylor road. Mr, Baker copied carefully the inscriptions as they ac- tually exist today on each of the stones, so that his researches furnish’a record of their condition 102 years after they were set up. He said that the dates cut in the stones showed that those in Virginia were set up in the year 17¥1, and that those in Mary- land were placed in position in the year liv Mr. Baker's paper aroused the greatest interest among the members of the society, and at its close a number of questions were asked, which elicited additional facts. Mr. M. W. Galt inquired about the stone which marked the center of the District, a location which is near the Washington monument. Mr. Baker had aiso investigated that matter and described the surveys made under di- rection of President Jefferson for determin- ing the meridian of Washington and the setting up of a stone near the Washington monument and also one on 16th street, near the site of the old standpipe. He had learn- ed from one of the local histories that the stone which was supposed to mark the Dis- trict center was at the corner of 14th and R streets, and was used as a carriage step. He went there, but did not find it, but sub- sequently learned that the supposed stone was at the reform school for boys, where it Was used as a hitching post. He saw this stone, put found that the inscriptions had practically disappeared; but it was evident that it was once used to mavk the meridian line, and was probably the ome erected at the head of 16th street. The Memory of L’Enfant. Mr. Baker had a number of early maps of the District, which were examined by the members. This naturally caused some reference to be made to Maj. L’Enfant, who designed the plan of the city, and to Mr. Ellicott, who made the surveys. Dr. James W. Morgan, who has quite a collection of the original letters written to and by Maj. L’Enfant, presented two which were written by Thomas Jefferson to Maj. L’'Enfant in regard to the surveys. He also exhibited a rare old print of the origi- nal L'Enfant map. Mr. John A. Kasson, the ex-minister to Germany, spoke of a conversation he had held with the late W. W. Corcoran in re- gard to erecting a fitting memorial to the great French engineer in this city. He learned from Mr. Corcoran that Congress had sent to L’Enfant a check for f40u in payment of his services, which the haughty Frenchman had returned, saying that if his services were not worth more than that amount they were worth nothing. This check, Mr. Kasson said, had been returned nited States treasury, where it still ined, and, with the accumulated in- terest, now amounted to a sum which would be ample to meet the expenses of cting the proposed monument. While a member of Congress he had introduced a bill for this purpose, but soon after he had esigned his seat to t a diplomatic tion, and had therefore not been able to push the measure. It had remained for- gotten in the pigeon-hole of the committee room. He thought that the soctety would do well to take up this matter, as it would be a late, but deserved, honor to the mem- ory of the creator of the plan of the cap- ital city. Some facts were presented in regard to the boundary stones of the city by Capt. John Stewart, C. E., who also spoke of the early maps of the city and the connection of L’Enfant and Ellicott with them. Mr. M. I. Welier suggested that a good work would be performed {f the society would collect as far as possible in the orig- inals or in copies the letters of L’Enfant and Ellicott, which were now widely scat- tered. At the close of the discussion the society adjourned. 1 1-2-1 THE EVENING STAR, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1894—TWELVE PAGES. MANY INDICTMENTS RETURNED. Exchange of Courtesies Between the Grand Jury a the Judge. ‘The grand jury for the June term of the court concluded their duties for the term by returning yesterday afternoon one of the largest batches of indictments in the history of the court. The grand jury made their report to Judge Cole, in Crimi- nal Court No. 1, and Foreman Louis Heil- brun, on behalf of his associates, present- ed to the judge a magnificent bunch of roses as a slight token of their regard and in remembrance of the many courtesies which they had, explained Mr. Heilbrun, received from the court. Mr. Heilbrun also tock occasion to express the admiration of himself and his associates for the manner in which justice was administered in the courts of the District. Judge Cole, in reply, explained that he accepted the flowers and the kind words of the grand jury on behalf of both Judge McComas and himself, for both had held official relations with them, and for District Attorney Birney as well. It was very gratifying, said Judge Cole, to be told by the citizens of the District, for the grand jury truly represented the citi- zens, that the courts of the District were entitled to such high commendation. It was equally gratifying to him to be able to return the compliment, and he dis- charged the grand jury with the thanks of the court for the very able manner in which they had performed their duties. The following is the list of the indict- ments returned yesterday afternoon: Henry O, Havemeyer, John W. Macartney, John E. Searles, Elverton R. Chapman and Al- len Lewis Seymour, violating section 102 United States Revised Statutes; Benjamin Brown, Ernest Fenwick, Louisa Mergent, James McDonald and Emanuel Webb, and James Temple, second offense petty lar- ceny; Daniel Brooks, John Hines, John Lewis, Edward Dixon and Paul Newman, Dement, Joseph Clarke, Frank Griffin, Wi Mam Lewis, Charles Lewis, Samuel Sam- uels, William Sherman, Richard McCauley, and Mary Scott, alias Reeder, larceny; Wil- liam Bundy, alias Smith, and Stephen T.

Pole, false pretense. —— POLICE AND POKER. The Former Take an Unexpected Part in a Quict Game. At No. 51-2 Fenton place. which is only a short distance from St. Aloysius Church, a “cook shop,” or “pig's foot shop,” as some of the colored people call such places, is kept by a colored family. Cakes, pies, candies and soft drinks are also to be found there. But the people in the house have no legal right to run a poker game there, althourh the police received informa- tion that such a game was going on in the rear room on the second tiocr. Policemen Brown 2nd Duvall, who do duty on the beat, concluded a few days ago that they would raid the place at the first oppor- tunity, and Sunday night about 11 o'clock the opportunity presented itself. Although the shutters were Slosed and the curtain drawn the allegel gamblers had not succeeded In kecping the light from being seen from the outside, and the rat- tling of the chips made it evident that there was a game in progress. Having ali the exits covered in order to prevent the escape of any of the piayers the officers entered the little store and continued upstairs. Six colored men were seated about the table, apparently enjoying a game of poker, and the officers found about $50 in the party. When the officers entered the room and “ealled the gam the mantpulators of the cards made a break for liberty. A man named Waters was so anxious to leave that he made a jump for the back yard, forgetting that the window was not open. in going out he took the window sash with him. Policeman Duvall, who was close behind, grabbed him by the leg, but his trousers were not strong enough to hold him, and he dropped to the yard. John Briscoe, who rents the room, and W. H. Shaw, who is his friend, were ar- rested and charged with setting up a gam- ing table. Shaw had most of the money. When Judge Miller heard the case yes- terday the witnesses told more about en- gaging in a game of crap than they did of poker, and it was stated that Shaw “cut the game.” “What do you mean by game?" the court asked. “Taking down 5 cents for the house.” The witnesses were all losers. Judge Miller held the defendants for the erand jury and fixed the bend at $300, —>__ cutting the THE FALLS HURCH RAILWAY. Officers Elected ian Extension of the Lines Considered. The directors of the Falls Church and Po- tomac Electric Railway Company recently elected by the stockholders of that com- pany, viz: A. P. Eastman, N. W. Graham, S. S. Burdette, R. S. Lacy, O. E. Hine, M. E. Church, R. W. Moore and E. J. North- rup, met in this city Saturday and elected the following officers: Maj. O. E. Hine of Vienna, president; Gen. 8. S. Burdette of Carlins Springs, vice president; Maj. R. 8. Lacy of Ballston, secretar; LF. Graham of West’ End, treafurer. After an interchange of views, a committee was ap- pointed to meet the president of the Mt. Vernon Railway Company and ascertain how soon a connection can be made with that company’s extension at Arlington or Long Bridge, as, under their charter, the Falls Church and Potomac Company has the right to enter the city over their lines. This, it is believed, is a long step toward securing a direct connection from Falls Chureh to the Central market. It is also contemplated to build a spur from Arlington to Georgetown. All of the gentlemen con- rected with this enterprise are large prop- erty holders and residents of Alexandria end Fairfax counties. —__ District Troopers Have 2 Good Time.

Every alumnus of the institute residing in Washington was present, and every class, from ‘S84 to ‘93, was represented. Previous to the dinner a reception was tendered Dr. Mendenhall in the parlors of the Shoreham, after which the company prepared to do justice to the excellent menu set before it. The long table was prettily decoraied, waile a magnificent bank of roses and carnations, extending through the center, gave a very pleasing effect to the whole. At each plate Was a bouttonniere of roses. The following toasts were responled to by the different representatives of the sev- eral classes: “The Tech as it is,” J. H.
