E Capt. Gaillard, the engineer officer in charge of the Washington aqueduct and accessories, reports to the chief of engi- neers that during the month of March the height of water at the gauge at Great Falls varied between 148.9 feet and 150.6 feet. Seventeen days out of the thirty-one days of the month the water at Great Falls and at the effluent gate of the dis- tributing reservoir was very turbid. At the last-named point, where it enters the main, it was turbid for six days, slightly turbid for three days, and clear for the remaining five days. There was very little change in the clearness of the water between its en- try into the receiving reservoir and its dis- charge into the mains. Repairs of the Conduit road were con- tinued during the month. Twenty-five cu- bie yards of blue stone were hauled from Foundry branch and placed on the road. The stone crusher and engines were set up in order to crush flint stone for the re- pairs of the road, and three hundred and fifty cubic yards of crushed stone were placed thereon. Capt, Gaillard says that the work of crushing the flint stone and re- pairing the Conduit road will be continued during the present month. Preparations are being made for the re- sumption of work of raising the height of the body of the dam at Great Falls, in or- der to increase the water supply of Wash- ington, which was suspended for the win- ter December. 14. Up to the close of last month twelve cubic yards of dimension stone and fifty cubic yards of riprap had been brought by boat from Seneca to Great Falls, and tracks had also been relaid and derricks eet up on the Maryland shore. Stone will be laid on the dam as soon as the stage of the river permits. With the approval of the chief of engineers, a con- tract has been made with Asa B. Cook of Petersburg, Va., for furnishing about 1,100 cubic yards of dimension stone and "100 cubic yards of coping for use in raising the body of the dam. The removal of accumulated deposits in the conduit was ccntinued during the month, and good progress was made. On the Great Falls division the work has been completed from the gate house at Great Falls to a point between man-holes 28 and 29. The work on the Dalecarlia division Has heen completed from the receiving reservoir to man-hole 33. The total dis. tance cleaned on both divisions was 5,953 feet, and the amount of sediment removed was 1,054 cubic yards, The total length of condult yet to be clfaned is about 4,000 eat. During the progress of this work a num- ber of longitudinal cracks were discovered in the conduit, a small crack in top of each over culvert 16, about 140 feet long, and a small crack in top of arch of culvert 17 about 100 feet long. Thirty-eight days’ la- bor has been devoted to cleaning out the deposit of mud in the bottom of the Ches- apeake and Ohio canal opposite waste weir No. 1, which deposit was caused by ‘the necessary opening of the waste gates of te conduit for the removal of deposits. he break which occurred. in the by-con- duit around the Dalecarlfa reservoir in July last has been almost entirely repaired. A coffer dam was constructed around the broken section in eighteen feet of water, and repairs were made with Brick and ce. ment. The break was about fifteen feet in length and five feet in height. To give ad- ditional strength to the repairs a concrete retaining wall, thirty-five feet long and 6.5 feet thick, was constructed between the by-conduit and the reservoir. —— eee RELEASED ON HABEAS CORPUS. George Howell’s Counsel Raises the Plea of Jurisdiction. George Howell, while plowing on his farm in Oklahoma Territory about two years ago, was called into service by a deputy United States marshal to join in pursuit of a horse thief. He protested, but was compelled to accompany the deputy marshal. About nightfall, the deputy mar- shall, Howell and four others, who had been deputized for this duty, stationed themselves along the road over which it was expected the horse thief would pass. Shortly a rider appeared on a horse an- swering the description of that which had been stolen, and when a demand was made to halt, he turned in his saddle and fired in the direction of the voice, urging his horse into a gallop. The demand to halt was repeated, and he fired a second time, whereupon some of the posse opened fire upon and killed him. Investigation reveal- ed the fact that they had killed a deputy United States marshal, who was engaged upon the same duty as themselves, The others fled, but Howell stood his ground. He wes Gas seit and sentenced to n years in the Kings county penitenti ce ew: por pene, unebis to Procure ‘the ecsanaryat or a tri of the record in his case he Cainer He to a higher court, and was sent to ie penitentiary February 14, 1895. ‘hrough the untiring efforts of his at- torney, Mr. Warren K. §n; ‘der, formerly of this city, but now of klahoma city, Howell was released Saturday on a writ of habeas corpus, on the ground that he had been tried and sentenced by the United States court, which had no Jurisdiction in the arg ieee alleged crime having been commi a section retorial court has over ain the 1a ion this case was rendered by Judge Benedict of the Or Norrie eastern district Pp to secure their ona corpus, raising the point of jurisd!

The invitation was accepted.

Continuing President Havenner said that in his opinion, as many Anacostia people as could should go to the Congress Heights meeting tonight, and join forces with them in the fight against the corporation which now occupies the streets of Anacostia, and like the dog in the manger, kept others out. The suggestion was adopted unanimously. On motion of Vice President Mrs. Eaton, the chair appointed Messrs. W. C. Van Hoy, R. B. Buckley and Mrs. H. L. Eaton as a committee to go to Congress with the Congress Heights people, and on motion of Mr. J. M. Keating, President Havenner was added to the committee as chalrman. On motion of Mr. Henry Johnson the fol- lowing preamble and resolutions were adopted, unanimously: 3 The Resolution, Whereas, the Anacostia Railroad Com- pany having, through its president, March 19, 2898, placed on record in the office of the Commissioners for the District of Co- lumbia, a tabulated and sworn statement showing that said company “had demon- strated by accurate figures, after years of trial, that to continue to maintain a two- horse car service with conductor, and driver would bankrupt the company,” and whereas sald statement having been ac- cepted by the honorable Commissioners as a basis for returning disapproved a Dill Presented by Senator McMillan granting the Anacostia Railroad Company two years to modernize its plant; and, whereas, the Capital Railway Company-a chertered company—has had its route charged so as to furnish comfortable and rapid transit for the citizens of Anacostia and the ad- jJacent suburbs, therefore be it resolved, that this association earnestly and respect- fully renew their petition to the District of Columbia committee, House of Represen- tatives, preying for the passag> of Senate bill 888—said bill being identical with House bill on same subject—and contains pro- visions for rapid transit, modern cars and all other essentials necessary to the com- fort and convenience of those having daily to use cars as a mode of travel and the traveling public generally. Next Meeting. Mr. D. C. Haines called attention to the fact that there had been a namber of fires in Anacortia during the last few weeks and much property destroyed thereby, and he suggested that steps be taken to secure Some protection from ravages from that source. He also thought, he said, that the association should attempt to have some street improvements made. It wus decided to take up the matter of protcction from fire, street. improvements, Sewers and other matters of general inter- est at the next regular meeting, to be held on the fourth Monday in thié month. Colonial Dames. Following close upon the continental con- gtess of the Daughters of ‘the American Revolution, which was held ‘in this city in February, comes tha annual meeting of another patriotic: society of women. The latter part of this month the National So- ciety of Colonial Dames of America, which Was organized five years ago, will assem- ble in Washington. This society is one of the most exciusive of all those that elect colonial ancestry as a requisite to mem- bership. ; This. is shown by the wording of the eligibilily clause jn its by-laws, which is a3 follows: i “This society shall-be composed of wom- en descendant through afi’ unbroken line of worthy ancestors, from one who was resident in America befére 1750, which ancestor, or oue of his descendants in the line of the applicant, shall have rendered efficient service to the country before 1783, either as founder of the original New Eng- land colonies, including Vermont, or mem- bers of the committee of safety, state corWention or military troop raised for the: defense. of. their rights, and who;- by. his. unswerving patriotism, contributed to the establishment of this free, Christian nation. 3 Reckless Driving. James Burley, the coupe driver, who fig- ured in the accident in front of Page's Hotel,-on 15th street, yesterday afternoon when Charles Nailor, a messenger boy on a bicycle, was knocked down and injured, was before Judge Kimball this morning on a charge of reckless driving. Several witnesses were in court, who volunteered to tell of the reckless manner in which Burley drove his horse. Some of them wit- nessed the affair from the hotel, and oth- ers. were on the street. Burley, it was stated, had been drinking and one pedestrian said he thought Bur- ley did his beet to drive over sumebody. The messenger boy, whose head was so painfully injured, was able to appear in court and tell his story. The -lefendant claimed that he was not drunk and said that the horse turned on him and he could not manage the animal. The court told him that he should have been on the right side of the street, and fined him $25 or ninety days on the farm for his recklessness. —.__ F Leave to File. In the United States Supreme Court yes- terday the commissioner of pensions was granted leave to file a petition for man- damus against C. L. Benedict, judge of the district court for the eastern district of New York, and B. L. Benedict, clerk of said court, to compel them to issue a sub- Poena for the attendance of a Brooklyn physician before a speciak examiner of the Fension bureau, or to show cause why they refuse to issue it at the instance of the commissioner. ——.__ Oleomargarine Cases. - The cases of Wilkes C. Prather; Clarence E. Fowler and Thomas H. Pickford, charged with violating the oleomargarine law, set for trial before Jude Cole in Criminal Court No. 1 today, were post- Poned until tomorrow morning. The post- onement was mado because of the un- nished triul of Wm. I, Roberts, alias Getz, charged with being connected with the robbery of the office of the Eckington and Soldiers’ Home Railway Cpmpany lest February. ——~——— A Bankruptcy Bijl.

A Distinguished Gathering Listens to » Orations at Monticello. Yesterday the 153d anniversary of Thos. Jefferson’s birthday was fittingly observed at Monticello, the old home of Jefferson, where he lived and died, by a gathering of a large number of prominent democrats from all sections of the country. The guests included Vice President Stevenson, Secretary Herbert, Postmaster General Wil- scn, Attorney General Harmon, ex-Gov. Ressell of Massachusetts, Chauncey F. Flack and Lawrence Gardner, president and Secretary, respectively, of the National As- scciation of Democratic Clubs, and nearly two score of Senators and Representatives, besides a number of national committeemen. The party arrived from Washington in Charlottesville about noon, and proceeded at once to Monticello, about two miles dis- tant from the town, where they were wel- ccmed by Mr. Jefferson M. Levy, the pres- ent.owner of the estate. The exercises commenced shortly after 2 ‘0’slock, ‘and upon the broad lawns were as- sembled several hundred persons who had come from the surrounding towns and rms. inreé addresses were delivered—the first by Chauncey F. Black, the second by ex- Gov. Russell, and the third by Senator Daniel of Virginia. The greatest interest attached to the speeches of the two latter, Mr. Russell standing squarely on a “sound money” platform, and Senator Daniel com- batting his position with a free silver ar- gument. The party returned to Washington about 9:30 last night. ——-+ee. THE GERMANS LIKE TROLLEYS. Trolleys Attached to the House Fronts iu Chemnitz. A report to the State Department on eleo- tric railways and electric lighting in Ger- man cities from Consul Monaghan at Chem- nitz says experiments are being made in Dresden with accumulators or storage bat- teries and underground conduits with a view to the replacement of the overhead system of railway propulsion. In Chemnitz the overhead trolley system has been enor- mously profitable. In this case the trolley wires are supported from iron rosettes cemented into the walls of houses along the tallway, thus dispensing with poles and effecting economy in construction. The system has worked perfectly for the past two years and has much to commend it to cities bent on an overhead system. Accumulators are largely used in Chem- nitz for electric lighting. They consist of cylindrical columns 12 feet high by 5 feet in diameter, so distributed through the city as to make it almost impossible for the light to fail, even should anything happen at the central station to cut ofthe current. They act as reservoirs and are ornamental. —_+-0+___ Butchered by Mexican Indians. A telegram from Oaxaca City, Mexico, says that the rebel Indians at the town of Juquela have killed all the town council- lors, school teachers, local priest, chief of Police, and the telegraph operator, in fact, every one holding a government place.
