It will be remembered that the establish- ment of an abattoir at Rosslyn was the sole cause of the trouble. The abattoir is located just east of the buildings of the Consumers’ Brewing Company. The pump house, which forces the water to Fort Myer, is located just east of the Aqueduct bridge, and the water used at the post was secured from a coffer dam built a short distance out in the river, and almost di- rectly in front of the pump house. It was charged that the waste water and refuse irom the abattoir, which it was thought would be discharged into the river, would pollute the water supply for Fort Myer. ‘The War Department was notified of the matter, and an effort was to have been made to stop the erection of the abattoir; but it is said other arrangements were de- cided upon, which were perfectly satisfac- tory to all parties concerned. A six-inch iron pipe was laid by the government from the cofferdam of the Fort Myer water sup- ply to the Three Sisters islands, and the water from that point in the river was utilized. The owners of the abattoir did likewise, and the Consumers’ Brewing Company also has a pipe line on the bed of the Potomac to the same point, and all three establishments draw water from a large spring, which is said to be located in the bottom of the river at the Three Sis- ters islands. The water at this point is said to be free from all contamination. Week of Prayer Observance. There was a large crowd last evening at the Gay Street Baptist Church to attend the union meetings of the week of prayer. The pastor, Rev. W. S. 0. Thomas, who was the leader of the services, gave a dis- course on the subject of “Nations and Their Rulers.” A number of other divines Were present, and made remarks during the course of the evening. ‘This evening services will be held at the West Street Presbyterian Church. Rev. W. C. Alexander, D. D., the pastor, will lead and talk on the subject of families and schools, and also the necessity of home missions. The meting will commence at lock. Tomorrow evening the series ¢ with services at the same church as tonight, conducted by Rev. J. B. Stitt, pastor of the Dumbarton Avenue M. E. Church. For Repair of Wall. The Commissiorers have issued an order for the repair of the coping of the wall on the south side of the Canal road, guard- Ing the canal, the ccst of the repairs being Piaced at $150. This is in conformity with € agreement under which the canal com- pany gave the District the right of way on the Canal read, in consideration of the fact that the highway and the stone wall shali be always kept in repair. Experience a Cold Bath. Despite the mildness of the weather yes- terday, there were a number of people cut enjoying the ice on the Little river, while other more venturesome persons en- joyed a skate on the Potomac west of the Aqueduct bridge. The rising of the tide in the Little river late in the afternoon in- convenienced a number of skaters. A good many were forced to wade through water, several going in waist deep when leaving the ice. An enterprising riverman, who has a boat, ferried skaters across the small stretch of water, and on one grip, with five or six people aboard, the oat went to the bottom in water ‘three feet deep. No one was injured, but the passen- gers got a good wetting. Knights of Pythias. The installation of the newly elected offi- cers of Hermione Lodgé, No. Knights of Pythias, was held last evening. The fcllowing were installed: P. C., Lee Mocka- . C., J. H. Caton; V. C., S. H. Glad- mon; P., J. W. Coon; M. of the W., R. P. P. R. Tavenner (six- F., H. G. Wagner M. of Ex., Samuel C. ; M. of A. C.

Professor Ireland, the superintendent of the public schools of Tenleytown, is the author of a plan to draw the teachers of all of the public schools together, and discuss tcpics of current events, in order to keep pested with up-to-date information. ‘The Jast meeting was held at the Franklin School in Washington, at which the Cuban situation and the political aspect in Ohic and otner subjects were talked over.

Samuel Marcy, who was injured at the stone quarry on the Virginia side of the river, as stated in The Star, died yester- day at the Emergency Hospital. Coroner Carr was notified of the death, and he in turn notified the coroner of Alexandria county, who, after investigation, deemed an inquest unnecessary. It was shown that the injuries were accidental, and that no one could be blamed. The body of the unfortunate man was removed to his home at Cherrydale, Va., about a mile from Rosslyn. The funeral will take place from his late home tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock. Services will be held at Walker's Chapel, Rev. Mr. Norris of the Methodist Church conducting the funeral services.

WITHOUT A A Levy Which Counsel IMegal. ‘Tomorrow afternoon Attorney Campbell Carrington will appear before Justice of the Peace Strider and make an argument in a case involving an alleged iliegal levy upon property to satisfy a judgment. The levy, which counsel claims. was illegal, rendered a widow homeless and deprived her of her means of obtaining a livelihood. Under the law an exemption of $300 is al- lowed in the case of an execution made on the property of the head of a family or householder, and Mr. Carrington will make an argument to show that Widow Vinciniz Raimondi comes within the exemption. Some time ago Attorney E. A. Paul repre- sented Salvatora Cannatella, who brought suit for her child, Mary Cannatella, against Salvatora Zannella, Providenza Zannella and Mrs. Raimondi for alleged trespass. It was alleged that the child, Mary, was shaken by one of the parties to the suit and $300 damages was wanted. Judgment for $0) was rendered, and a week ago Con- stable Salter and Attorney Paul visited Widow Raimondi’s fruit store, near 15th and E streets, and made the levy. In addi- tion to keeping the small store, the widow rented three rooms to boarders and in this way she managed to earn a living. The Zannellas had nothing upon which the con- stable could m@ke a levy and he proceeded to satisfy the judgment at the widow's store and bearding house. The list of goods taken from the house includes clothing, household gocds and articles of food. Even the woman's bed and cooking stove were taken; and Attorney Carrington declares it is the first case on record in the District in which an execution of this kind left a widow without a bed and change of cloth- ing. The levy, as already stated, Mr. Carring- ton claims v.as without authority and he will endeavor to have action taken in time to prevent the sale of the property on Sat- urday.

The board of Hyattsville commissioners held its regular monthly meeting Tuesday night, Messrs. M. V. Tierney, Clarance Wilson and Joseph Aman being present. A contract for the repairing of the culvert at the Intersection of Columbia and Melrose avenues was awarded to Thomas Lanca ter. The consideration named in the con- tract is $275.

The solemn service called the “Forty Hours’ Devotion” will begin at St. Aloy- sius Church Sunday morning next at 11 o'clock. After the solemn high mass of th® mcst blessed sacrament instruction will be given by Rev. William O'B. Par- dow. A procession of the sacrament will follow. The choir wili render ‘‘Pange Lingua” and “Tantum Ergo,” and the lit- any of the saints will be recited. The norning exercises will close with the ex- position of the most blessed sacrament. At 7:30 p.m. there will be verpers and ben- ediction and reposition of the sacrament. Monday morning at 8 o'clock there will be special services, and at the same hour in the evening there will be reposition of the most blessed sacrament, without benedic- ticn. Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock the program of Sunday, without instructions, will ve repeated. Although the church has ever adored Christ as present in the blessed eucharist, it is only in times comparatively modern that the most holy sacrament has béen ex- posed during forty hours for the public veneration of the faithful. As far as can be ascertained the devo- tion of forty hours is due to Father Joseph, a Capuchin priest of Milan, who lived about the year 1500. In 1556 the Jesuits in Ma- cerater, during the disorders prevalent at that time, exposed the blessed sacrament for forty hours to implore the divine mercy. In 1560 Pius IV epprovea the cus- tom, and St. Charles Borromeo, with great zeal, adopted and praciiced this devotion during carnival time to appease God’s an- ger. Finally, in 1592, Clement VIII pro- vided for the public and perpetual adora- tien of the blessed sacrament in the differ- ent churches in Rome. In the United States this devotion is made perpetual by the forty hours of pray- er being observed at least cnce a year in all the principal churches. a Buried at Rock Creek Cemetery. Funeral services over the remains of Dr. Edgar Janney were held yesterday after- neon at the late residence, 12 Iowa circle. Rev. E. Bradford Leavitt, pastor of All Souls’ Church, offictated.

I sincere'y trust that you will also assist the committee in semplishing the work intrusted to it, by exerting your best efforts in the same direction. If we are to be successful ff seeuripg the large amount cen which the success of the coming con- vention will n@cessarily depend, we must do our utmost for the cause by untiring and united effort.” FAVQRABLE ACTION. Commissioners! Approve Bill to Pre- vent Adniteration of Candy. In returning to Chairman Babcock of the House District committee House bill 409, to prevent the adulteration of candy, the Commissioners recommend favorable ac- tion thereon. The Commissioners say of the bill: “V rious laws and ordinances are in force at present in the District of Columbia relative to the’ adulicration of food, but none es- pecialiy refer to the adu'teration of candy. In view ef the possibility of doubt whether the word ‘food’ where it appears in those laws would be construed to include candy the purpose of the bill appears to be me torious, as it seeks to provide positive means for the prevention of fraud and to remove certain sources of danger to the public health.” a PROTECTIVE LEAGUE.
