AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN, Work on Aqueduct Coffer Dam Has Been Stopped. Work on the Aqueduct coffer.dam has been stopped. After repeated efforts to re- pair the sheet piling which was split upon the rocks it has been decided to draw the defective stuff and replace it with new. Telegrams have been sent to Norfolk, or- dering the new material. It will be brought. by steamer. In driving the original yellow pine sheet piling the rocky bottom was en- countered with too much force. For sey- eral Weeks the divers have employed the usual means to stop up the big leaks, caused through the splitting. Temporary success only was met with. A few days ago there was a big,break, caused through unusual pressure, and the lower part of the dam became seriously affected. It was then seen that the patch work would not stand and that new piling must be put in. In consequence there has been a cessation of labor at the fourth pier. Died Suddenly. Mr. John F. Cleary, a popular young man of Georgetown, died suddenly - yesterday morning at the residence of his sister, Mrs. Matthew Callahan, 2140 K street. He had been in apparently good health up to Tuesday evening. Just before retiring he exhibited an inexplicable manner, talking at random and acting peculiarly. Then he became violently sick. Those about him tried to get him to retire, but he refused to be prepared for bed. After a while he be- came so weak that the bed was sought vol- untarily. Others disrobed him. A physi- cian and priest were sent for, and they re- mained with him for some time. They both came again in the morning, and while there death visited the chamber of the stricken boy. Congestion of the lungs, it is said, brought on the end. A cold that had been neglected brought on the fatal affec- tion. Deceased wall be buried tomorrow at Holy Rood, Improvements Going On. Big improvements are in progress and contemplation at Fort Myer. It is pro- posed to turn the four-company post into a ten-company one. The accommodations will therefore have to be more than dou- bled. Extensive improvements have been going on for some time, and awards for new constructions have just been made, as follows: To Manning & Parsons, admin- istration building; guard house, Jas. Grant; non-commissioned officers’ quarters, Minor & Company of Baltimore. On the 8th of the month bids for the construction of a new forage house will be opened, and on the 15th for two new double sets of offi- cers’ quarters and barracks. Brick and Potomac bluestone will be used in the above constructions. Notes. At the St. John’s Church benefit last night in the parish hall two clever sketches were presented. The characters in the first, “My Awful Chum,” were as- sumed by Mrs. R. D. Simms, Roy Kirtland, Archie Hassan, Wm. Beall, Phil Heming- ton and Charles Cropley. The play proved to be a happy selection, and the work of the cast met with merited appreciation. “The Box of Monkeys" was presented by Mr. and Mrs. Dashiell, Miss Charlotte Ste- vens, Miss Natalie Hemington and Mr. David Blunt. All the good points and amusing situations were effectively brought out. The house was large ard the whole affair a big success in every way. Miss Stevens was the manager. Chas. Calhoun broke into a peanut in- closure operated by Wm. Cronkite at the corner of 3ith and M streets last night, and was arrested for his pains. Mary Ford was attacked with a hatchet last night by Geo. Ray on 33d street near “Hungry Hill." Ray was arrested. Both parties are colored. There will be a concert tonight at the Dumbarton Avenue Church, which will be distinguished for an excellent program, in which some of the best local talent will participate. —————— Civil Service Reformers, The annual meeting of the Civil Service Reform Association of the District will be held the evening of May 10 in the lec- ture hall of Columbian University. After the business of the meeting 13 disposed of the association will be addressed by the Secretary of Agriculture and the controller of the currency, Mr. James H. Hckels, upon the practical operations of the civil service law as they have observed it. MARRIED. CARPENTER—WISE.
