Maj. Allen’s Report of Operations During the Month of February. Major Charles J. Afien, corps of en- sineers, who has charge of river and hary bor improvements in this vicinity, reports to the chief of engineers in regard to the im- provement of the Potomac river at Wash- ington, that the constrection of the sea wall in the tidal reservoir was continued during the past month, whenever the weather and the stage of the tide would the prosecution of the work. The riprap foundation was leveled off and pre- pared, and the lower part of tie wall laid from low tide to a h ht of about two and a half teet above Icw tide for a length of about 800 feet. The surplus riprap stone sed for the temporary protection of the embarkment was removed as the wall construction progressed. I: was deposited on the Virginia channel training dike. ‘The total amount removed during the month was 208 cubic yards. Major Alien says that the river was froz- en over on the night of February 20, but ravigation was not impeded, and the ice soon disappeared from the channels. In the tidal reservoir the ice reached a thick- ness of two inches and remained eight days. Pre;arations have been made for the construction of the sea wall to be built on the Virginia channel gront near Easby’s Point, and the work be continued this month. There are no funds available for repairs to Aqueduct bridge, and the work remains suspended pending further appropriation by Congress, in accordance with the report and estimate submitted November 30 last. The removal of the wreck of the steamer Lady cf the Lake in the Washington chau- nel near the Clyde Line wharf was contin- ued during the month, under the contract of Johnston & Townsend, but owing to the cold und windy weather, which prevailed, the work was delayed, and comparatively little progress was made. It is expected to complete the removal of the wreck this month, ase Drank Fire Water. Two members of the tribe of Sioux In- who are here on a visit to see the ent, were found under the influence jquor yesterday by the police. They were helplessly Intoxicated and had caused no trouble. The police sent them te the hetel where they are stopping. ———— + Left on a Doorstep. Last night an infant not more than a week old was found on the doorstep of the house of Charles West, No. 2018 7th street, where some inhuman person had left it. ‘The child was nicely dressed and was wrapped in a blanket. The child was dis- covered by a dog, and the barking animal attracted attention to the bundle.
