Davis’ First Report of the Operations for Increasing It. GOOD RECORD FOR CLEARNESS SHOWN Work Going On for Increasing the Height of the Dam. CLEANING THE CONDUIT Major Davis has made his first monthly report to the chief of engineers of operations for increasing the water supply of Washing- ton. By act of Congress of March 2, 1895, $20,000 were appropriated for engineering, maintenance and general repairs of the Washington aqueduct. Major Davis briefly reviews the work accomplished up to Octo- ber 1, and then tells what has been done by the office since he took charge on the date named. During the entire month the height of the water on the gauge at the mouth of the conduit at Great Falls has been practically 148.5 above the datum plane. On October 28 the reading on the gauge was 148.48, but one-hundreth of a foot above the lowest reading ever recorded since the com- pletion of the dam. The condition of the water as regards clearness is reported as ex- cellent. According to the scale for recording the condition, the numbers 0-7, inclusive, correspond to very turbid water; 8-14, tur- bid; 15-21, slightly turbid, and 22-36, clear. The recorded condition of the water, both at Great Falls and at the entrance to the mains, was 36 for the entire month. Two of the iron gates at the gate house at Great Falls, which have been broken for several years and unfit for use, have been removed and new ones are being made. The repairs to the roadway of the Penn- sylvania avenue bridge across Rock creek and to the wooden bridge crossing the spill- way at the Dalecarlia reservoir were com pleted. The telephone line from Georgetown to Great Falls has been put in good repair and four telephones were added to the equipment. An inspection of the inside of the conduit between the dam and waste weir No. 1 having disclosed the presence in the conduit of numerous sunken logs, five to eight inches In diameter and several feet in length, a new screen at the intake near the dam was deemed necessary. It is proposed to construct this screen and put it in place this month. The new gates will probably be put in place this month. Raising the Great Falls Dam. Interesting details are given of the work of raising the height of the dam at Great Falls, for which Congress appropriated $125,000 at its last session. This dam ex- tends from the Virginia to the Maryland shore, crossing Conn's Island. The pres- ent height of its crest is 148 feet, and it is to be raised io a height of 15J.5 feet. The stone for the work is procured from the government quarry at Seneca, on the Ches- apeake and Ohio canal, eight miles above Great Falls. It is brought down to the dam on barges. The work of getting the stone and raising the dam at Conn's Island was carried on during the last month under the original approved project. Maj. Davis says the quarrying is attended with much difficulty, owing to the great depth of over- lying material, which has to be stripped before suitable stone can be reached. Weather and water conditions have been favorable for the work on the dam itself, and good progress has been made. The total amount of cut stone laid to date is 254 cubic yards, leaving 1,434 cubic yards yet to be laid. So far 183 cubie yards of coping have been reset on the dam, leaving 915 cubic yards yet to be reset. There have been placed 71 cubic yards of concrete and cubic yards of rip-rap, leaving 359 cubic yards of concrete and 1,640 cubic yards of rip-rap yet to be placed. The work of the contractor on the cableway between Conn’s Island and the Virginia shore has pro- gressed somewhat slowly, Maj. Davis says, and it is not probable that it will be com- pleted before the middle or the latter part of November—too late to be used for this season's work. The work of raising the dam will be continued until it fs prevented by freezing weather. The stripping of the quarry at Seneca will also be continued as long as possible. The prircipal part of the report ts de- voted to tre operations for the removal of deposits in the corduit of the Washington aqueduct. The approved project contem- plates emptying the cordult as often as is considered advisable, locsening up the de- posits and slulcing them out through the waste gates. Removing Deposits in the Conduit. By act approved March 2, 1895, $14,000 were appropriated for removing the ac- cumulation of deposits in-the conduit. From the nature of the material it was found Impossible to clean the conduit prop- erly by sluicing, as provided in the project, and the work is now done by loading this material into tubs and wheeling it to the wearest manhole, where it is hoisted to the surface. During the present fiscal year and up to the beginning of the month the conduit bad been cleanec from the Dalecariia res- ervoir to manhole 51, the length cleaned being 2,000 feet, and the estimated quantity of material removed 370 cubic yards. In regard to recent operations, Maj. Davis says: “For the purpose of removing deposits the water was shut off from the conduit at 9 a.m. October 10 and turned on at 9 a.m. October 12. It was again shut off at 9 am. October 24 and turned on at 9 a.m. October 26. The head above datum plane at the distributing reservoir when the wa- ter was shut off on October 10 was 144.82, and when it was turned on on October 12 the water level in this reservoir had fallen to 141.68, a total fall of 3.14. From this level the water in the reservoir rose slowly until October 24, when it had reached a height of 144.65, and was again shut off for a like period and fell to 141.50, 3.15 during clear ing operations, After the water Is shut off it takes about seven hours before the conduit is suffi- ciently emptied for men to work in it, so until the river rises it appears that there will never be more than about eighty-two hours per month during which men can work ir the conduit. Character of the Obstruction. An inspection of the inside of the conduit between its mouth and waste weir No. 1, and between manholes 44 and 45, showed that in the first reach the conduit was ob- structed principally by a sedimentary de- posit of exceeding fine and tenacious clay, and to some extent by sunken logs and boulders several cubic feet in volume, the latter occurring principally in the tunnel portions of the conduit. Between manholes 44 and 45 the obstruction consisted entirely of the fine, tough, clayey sediment. Ac- curate measurements of the area of the cross section of the sediment between man- holes 43 and 45 showed that the greatest cross section was 7.89 square feet, and what was judged to be about an average cross section measured 5.78 square feet. The sedi- ment is so tenacious that sluicing appears to have but little effect on it, and it is now loaded in tubs, which are wheeled to the nearest manhole and hoisted with horse Nicotine Neutralized GIBW AND SMOKE MUAUOL POUCH TOBACCO.

The following were the readings of the thermometer at the weather bureau today: 8 a.m., 46; 2 p.m., 54; maximum, 55; min- imum, 44. power, by the aid of a small derrick. By this method during the eighty-two working hours of October about 303 cubic yards of sediment were removed between the gate house at Great Falls and waste weir No. 1, cleaning 1,150 lineal feet of the conduit, and about 02 cubic yards between manholes 43 and 45, and in the vicinity of manhole cleaning 3,450 lineal feet of conduit; a total for the month of about 005 cubic yards of matetial removed and 4,600 of conduit cleaned. The cost of removing this material, ex- elusive of plant, ofl and watchmen’s and assistant engineer’s salaries, was about fifty-eight cents per cubie yard. How Much Has Been Clenned. The deposit of sediment where the cross sections were taken is somewhat greater than at points blow, but it will be observed that, taking the total length of conduit cleaned below manhole 43 during the month, and the amount of matcrials removed there- from, the average area of the computed cross section of the sediment is 4.71 square feet, while that cleared between the Great Falls gate house and waste weir No. 1 has a computed cross section of 7.i1 square fcet, the increase being doubtless largely due to the rough, unlined bottom of this rock- driven tunnel. ‘The conduit has now been ent between the distributin point between manhol tween the mouth at G weir No. 1, The total length of the portion yet to be cleaned is 6.9 miles. It is proposed to continue the work of cleaning out the conduit whenever the siege of water at the distrib: ng reservoir will permit. The deposit in the conduit has ap- parently been there for over thirty year and has been accumulating and hardening ever since. ——_—__e-___ Transfers of Real Estate, Deeds In fee have been filed as follows Wm.

The Woodburn Citizens’ Association held its regular meeting Tuesday evening at Kel- ly’s store, with President Walker in the chair. The secretary read a petition, which he was instructed to draw up at a previous meeting, in reference to having Blair road kept In repair, pending an appropriation by Congress for the opening of new roads un- der the street extension plan. The petition was adopted. The secretary was directed to write to the District Commissioners request- ing them to name the new school building now in course of construction, the Wood- burn School. Mr. Langley of the patrol box committee reported that he and Mr. La- mond had had an interview with Mr. Miles in refrence to the establishment of a box at Woodburn, and they were informed that an appropriation for same was included in the estimate to Congress. Ss Colonial Beach Association. A meeting of persons interested in Colonial Beach property was held last evening, and an organization was formed, to be known as the Colonial Beach Association. A constitu- tion and by-laws were adopted. The object of the association Is to assist the town coun- cil in the enforcement of existing laws, and the formation of new measures looking to the general improvement of the place. The association believes in woman suffrage. The following officers were elected at last night's meeting: John T. Chauncey, president; T. B. Harrison, vice president; Frank Ourand, recording secretary; John B., Hammond, treasurer.

Bishop Hurst’s wife's mother died in Buf- falo this week, at the advanced age of eighty years. She was Mrs. Delia Spencer Root, widow of the late Francis H. Root, and was prominently connected with various charitable organizations in Buffalo. —————— A Mining Case. Assistant Attorney General Hall gave a hearing yesterday in the case of Bradstreet agt. Rehm, which has been before the In- terior Department for twelve years. The centfoversy is over title to mining property in Utah, Rehm claiming for assessment work done as the law provides. Joseph Tyssowski appeared for Bradstreet and Charles Bell for Rehm. CLAIMS OF CANADIAN SEALERS. A Joint Commission to Assess Dam- ages Due to Seizures. The Secretary of State and the British ambassador have practically agreed upon a convention looking to the adjudication of the claims of Canadian sealers for dam- ages for the seizure of their vessels in Bering sea prior to the decision of the Paris tribunal of arbitration. Prevision is made for a joint commission, ccnsisting of two members, one representing the United States and the other representing Great Britain. They will meet at Victoria, B. c., for the purpose of assessing damages re- sulting from the seizures. In case the two comunissioners are unable to agree upon this important point a third commissioner will be chosen by joint agreement of the parties in Interest. The convention has al- ready received the approval of the British ambassador and now only awaits the ap- proval of Secretary Olney. —---+——_____ KENTUCKY'S VOTE. The Oficial Returns Give Governor- Elect Bradley 5,474 Plurality. The official count of the vote in the re- cent election for governor of Kentucky has been announced, and is as follows: Bradley, republican, 172,436; Hardin, democrat, 163,062; Pettit, populist, 1@,911; Demaree, prohibition, 4,102. Bradley's plu- rality, S474. Bradley's vote is the largest ever given a republican candidate by Ken- tucky, Benjamin Harrison, in 1888, receiy- ing 4 votes. The highest democratic vote was 183,800, cast for Mr. Cleveland the same year. The highest vote received by any candidate for state office was 144,- 619, for Gen. Buckner, for governor,against Col. Bradley, in 1887, also the best previous race ever made by the republicans, they having polled 127,804 votes. Strange to relate, both Bradley and Hardin ran ahead of their tickets, those who scratched Hardin being counteracted by the free silveriies who scratched the rest of the ticket and voted for Hardin to keep him with the ticket. Se THE REORGANIZED ERIE. Articles of Incorporation Filed at Albany, N. ¥. Articles of incorporation of the Erie Rail- road Company, under the new reorganiza- tion plan, were filed with the secretary of state at Albany, N. Y., yesterday. The capital 1s $146,000,000 and the corporation tax of $182,500 is the lari i State. The directors are: mple Bowdoin, Chas, H. Coster, John H. Emanuel, jr., A. H. Gillard, A. B. Hopper, T. W. Joyce, WwW alter Schuyler Kennys, J. Morgan, jr., Francis Lynde, Mortimer Fitzalilen, W. S. Townsend, J. H. Tierney and E. B. Thomas. ee ee Divorce Granted. Judge Hagner has signed a decree divorcing Rosa H. Maloney from Mat- thew Maloney on the ground of cruel treat- ment on the part of Mr. Maloney, en- dangering the life and health of his wife. The latter is given the custody of the in- fant child of the couple, Helen Maloney, and permission to resume her maiden name—Rosa E. Monder. The original bill in the case was filed May 31 last. Judge Hagner has also decreed a di- yorce in favor of William Hirst against Fanny R. Hirst, adultery being the ground for granting the legal separation. The suit was filed July 15, 189 a Proceedings Asked. The Commissioners not having the power to compel the Georgetown and Tenleytown railroad to comply with {ts charter and cease using its line for freight purposes, have called the atiention of the matter to the Attorney General, and requested pro- ceedings to be instituted against the com- pany. — Against the Lotteries. Postmaster General Wilson has issued a general fraud order, including all the al- leged lottery companies, oth in the United States and elsewhere, and directing all posimasters of the country to mark mail sent to these companies as fraudulent anf return it to the senders. This action is taken because it appears,that the Honduras National Lottery Company, Paul Conrad, president, and a number of other lottery companies in Mexico, Canada, San Domin- go and San Francigco are engaged in con- ducting lotteries or similar enterprises through the mails, in violation of the ant- lottery law of the United’ States. +2. The Torpedo Bont Ericsson. Word comes to the Navy Department from Lieut. Usher at Dubuque, Ia., that the material to replace the broken parts of the machinery of the torpedo boat Erics- son, which was shipped from there on the 9th instant, will reach New London in two or three weeks. About five weeks will be consumed in placing this machinery, and then the boat must have several prelimi- nary trial runs, so that she will not be ready for her official trial before next year. —___-e— The New Dry Dock. Secretary Herbert has appointed a special board to consider certain changes made in the construction of the new dry dock at the New York navy yard, and decide whether they are such that the contractor or the government should bear the extra expense. The changes are cf material im- portance, relating to the extra bracing of the piling and the capacity of the pumps. SS John T.
