Wilson About the City Records Some Valuable Documents Missing— Government Land Said to Be Occu- pied by Private Individuals. Col.J.M. Wilson has made a special report to the chief of engineers in regard to the old records of the city of Washington. These records, which in many instances are accompanied by maps, show in detail the various transactions of the Commis- s:oners in connection with the original laying out of the city of Washington, the construction of the United States public buildings and the sale of public lots be- tween ‘the years 1791 and 1867. These records are in constant requisition as évi- dence in the hearing of suits at law. “The first Commissioners,” says Col. Wilson, “were appointed by President Washington on January 22, 1791, in con- formity with the terms of the act of Con- Sress approved July 16, 1790, and the duties with which they were charged were trans- ferred by various acts of Congress to their successors in office, who were appointed from time to time by the Presidents ot United States. rene The Office Transferred. “By the act of Congress approved March 2, 1867, the office of commissioner of public buildings and grounds was abolished and the duties transferred to the chief of en- gineers, who thereby became the lawful successor of the original commissioners ap- pointed by President Washington in 1791 and the custodian of the records. Under date of March 13, 1867, Maj. Na- thaniel Michler, corps of engineers, was as- signed by the chief of engineers, under his direction, to the charge of the public buil.- ings and grounds, and shortly afterward received from the Secretary of the Interior and the late commféssfoner of public build- ings and grounds what were believed to be all the books, records, archives and papers pertaining to the office of the commissioner and to the public works which had been under his charge. “These old records remained in the Uni- ted States Capitol building from the time they were received by Maj.° Michler, in 1867, until February, 1884, during a portion of which time they were in charge of a messenger and open to examination by parties interested in them. I am informed that some of them were occasionally bor- rowed for official use by parties connected. with the local government of the city of Washington. ° wid “In August, 1876, Mr. John Stewart, the earnest, faithful and intelligent gentleman now in immediate charge of these records, under my direction was assigned to their care, and since that date has devoted the greater portion of his time to their study and to briefing and indexing them. Books end Papers Missing. “In February, 1884, the records were brought from the United States Capitol gb the office of the chief of engineers of the United States army, in Winder’s building, and in February, 1888, they were trans- ferred to the State, War and Navy build- ings. In the study of these old records Mr. Stewart has found a number of very im- portant books and papers missing, and he has recently learned that many of these missing documents are now in the office of = city surveyor of the District of Colum- “In April, 1890, my immediate predeces- sor, Col. O. H. Ernst, U. A., informed the chief of engineers as follows: ° “Tt appears from the evidence of Mr. Wm. Forsyth, surveyor of the District of Columbia, in case of United States vs. M. F. Morris et al., that there are on file in his office certain original documents which would seem to properly belong here, such as the original plats of the city, prepared under an order of the Commissioners in 1793, and the original note book of James R. Dermott, containing soundings taken for the Dermott map.’ 5 “Col. Ernst requested that steps might be taken to secure the transfer to this office of all original books, maps, reports or other dociments which had at any time formed part of the records of the office, and which were then in possession of the surveyor of the District. The City Surveyor’s Claim. “Based upon Col. Errst’s letter, the Sec- retary of War, under date of April 22, 1890, requested the Commissioners of the District of Columbia to take steps to cause the transfer to the War Department of the records in question. “The Commissioners called upon the sur- veyor of the District for information in the matter, and the latter, while acknowledging that there were a number of plats and pa- pers in his office relative to the subject of surveys in the city of Washington, pre- pared by the early surveyors of the city, claimed that the surveyor of the District was the legal custodian of these papers, and the District Commissioners declined to comply with the request of the Secretary of War. “It would seem emirently proper that these important and valuable archives should be retained by the federal govern- ment, as they contain among them original letters from Presidents Washington, John Adams, Jefferson, Monroe, Madison and others, and cover the acts of the Presidents in connection with the United States public buildings and the United States reserva- tions; it would also seem equally proper that all of these old records should be placed under the charge of one department of the government, and I think congres- sional action should be taken to decide un- der whose control they shall continue, and to require that all of the records of the original Commissioners shall be turned over to the chief of engineers of the army, who, by the terms of the act of March 2, 1867, became the legal successor of the first Commissioners. Lots Not Paid For. “As heretofore reported, Mr. Stewart, the draughtsman, who has had charge of the old records for nearly a score of years, in- forms me that in his investigations, he can find no satisfactory evidences to show that the United States has ever received pay- ment or granted deeds in fee for a number of squares and lots in different parts of the city of Washington. By my direction he is now engaged in preparing a tabulated statement showing every lot origigally be- longing to the United States as well as those which were sold by the general gov- ernment between the years 1791 and 1867. “I again invite attention to this important matter ard urgently recommend that pro- vision be made for the employment of a clerk to take charge of all the old records and make a complete and exhaustive in- vestigation of the whole subject and thus permit the only draughtsman allowed this office to attend to his legitimate duties, Reservations Occupied. “The following reservations claimed as the property of the United States are now occupied, it is believed, without authority of law: “Reservations Nos. 113, 127, and 197, by the Baltimore and Potomac Railroad Com- pany. “Reservation No. 125, by the Central Union Mission as a place of worship. “Reservation No. 226, by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company. “Reservation No. 186, by the Bethany chapel of the New York Avenue Presbyte- rian congregation. “Reservation No. 203, intersection of Canal and N street south and Ist street west, occupied by a party who built a frame house thereon in 1888. This case has been in the hands of the United States dis- trict attorney for the District of Columbia for the past six years, “Reservation No. 249 1s occupled as a lumber yard by a party who claims to rent it from a gentleman in Port Deposit, Md. “Reservations Nos. 187, 138, 141, 152, 164 and 169 have been inclosed with iron or wire fences and partially improved by the owners of adjacent property.” ——__+o+____ A Duel With Knives. Two young farmers of Shelby county, Ky., were literally hacked to pieces in a duel Saturday, and so badly cut that the attending physicians say both will die. The victims are Isaac Hurffman and Marshall Garner. Hurffman owns a farm and Gar- ner, who lately went to the state from Ten- nessee, worked on an adjoining farm. They had an altercation from some cause, and both drew knives and began slashing. They only ceased cutting when they were so weak they could no longer stand. —== EXCURSIONS, The morning, afternoon and evening boats Were crowded to their utmest capacity on their trips to River View yesterday, and it is estimated that over three thousand peo- ple journeyed down to this popular resort to see the triple attraction which Capt.” Randall had provided for the patrons of his cool and restful retreat. The triple attrac- ‘tion consisted of Blatt and Minerva and the champion tower diver of the world, Kearney Speedy. The act which Speedy performs is probably the most wonderful and daring that has been seen in Washing- ton for many years. It consists of diving head first from a platform eighty feet in the air to a tank containing only three and one-half feet of water, and is one of the most breath-taking feats ever executed in this vicinity. The tower has been the cen- ter of many curious eyes for three or four days past, and when Speedy, clad in a red bathing -sult, climbed to the top of the structure at 7 o'clock last evening there Were probably six thousand eyes looking at him. With all this, he was as cool and col- lected as it is possible to be, and seemed to enjoy the Sensation of being at such a great height. When he finally announced that he -Was ready, and gave the signal for the band to play, several in the crowd turned away thelr eyes and would not look at him. At last he sprang from his perch, head first, plunged, and, sailing down like a bird, struck the water so hard that the sleeves of his tights were forced up to the elbow. As soon as he touched the water he threw back his head, arched his back, and soon his smiling face appeared above the edge of the tank. He was greeted with cheors and other loud expressions of approval, and was given an ovation as he stepped out of the water. To show the spectators that there were only forty-two inches of water in the receptacle into which he dived, Speedy waded in and stood upright. Th water just barely reached his armpits, and as he is a short, stoutly-built young man, it made the height just about right. Speedy seemed just as much at home on the top of his tower as he would be in a rocking chair on the ground, and stood on his head on @ corner of his lofty perch and executed nu- merous other little tricks for the edification of the crowd below. A running fire of ques- tions and answers was kept up from the time he appeared at the top of the struc- ture to the time when he took his leap, Speedy answering all good-naturediy and laughing all the while. Capt. Randall has engaged Speedy for a leap next Sunday, and it is expected that the grounds and at- tractions of the resort will be tested to - their utmost capacity. To say that the feat is daring is not sufficient. Terrific is much the better word, and from the lips of every one who saw the nervy young man make his startling plunge came words of praise and expressions of approval of the manner in which he executed the act. The weather yesterday was apparontly not the most promising for out-door pleas~- ures, but a larger or more self-satisfied crowd has seldom journeyed to Marshal§ Hall on the steamer Charles Macalester, The average excursionist does not care fov the weather as long as a downpour of rain @oes not occur, and when the Macalester left her dock yesterday large crowds filled every part of the commodious stesmer. Marshall Hall was seen at its best. The grass was never greener 2r more Inviting, and everybody remarked about the pleas- urable and inviting took everything about the place had. Ice-cold drinks were at a discount, but the big Ferris wheel caught a majority of the dimes. This attraction has become very popular, and all day yesterday the big whecl swung around, carrying car- loads of happy children and beaming pa- rents. Prof. Schroeder and his band caught the spirit of the place, and discoursed mu- sic with a technical skill that has placed the band far above the average excursion musicians. The selections were, for the most part, popular, but even the more ex- acting were gratified by the fine rendition of pieces of the higher order of merit. Not an accident occurred on the srounds or water to mar the day's pleasures. ‘The Young Men’s Catholic Club will give. an excursion to River View omorrow, which 4s expected to be very successful and enjoyable. A special feature will be the athletic program, which will comprise run- ning, bicycle, sack and three-leggetl races, open, to all amateurs. Handsome medals and other prizes will be given to the win- rers of the various events. Another feat- are will be match bowling between teams of the late District Amateur Bowling League. Special efforts will be made to make it extremely pleasant for all who de- sire to spend the entire day at picturesque River View. Samuel J. Pentz leaves her wharf at 10 a.m., 2 and 6:30 p.m. Today the Jolly Fat Men have possession of the grounds at River View, and are no doubt having a glorious time together with their many friends. Prize dances will be given this evening that will be interesting to all. The steamer Pentz will leave at 6:30 p.m. The Harry Randall will leave at 7:15 p.m. The Sixth Corps’ annual excursion will take place today at Marshall Hall, when the steamer Charles Macalester will leave her wharf at > p.m. The large number of tickets already sold indicates a very large crowd and a good time is assured.
