Coffer Dam Almost. a Wreck—Recha- bites Install Officers—Election of Bark Directors, No work has been done for several weeks the work of reconstructing the fourth pier at the Aqueduct In fact, it is stated that no work ever been done for the coffer dam built around the pier. The dam has now almost gone to wreck, it is stated, and is less able to hold out the water than ever before. It is also stated that the contract- ors have removed most of the machinery which former! don the coffer dam. The job of rebuilding the pier was award- ed to Contractor Hathaway of Philadel- phia some time ago. ‘The sum involved is said to be something like $50,000. While on his way to Philadelphia the contractor suddenly died, and since that time the work has practically been stopped, although it is stated that his executors will undertake the completion of the contract. Officers Installed. The thirtieth annual installation of of- ficers of Heber Tent, No. 19, Independent Order of Rechabites, was held last evening in Odd Fellows’ Hall, on 31st street. The meeting was called to order by the retiring ©. R., J. 1. Roberts. The opening ode was sung and prayer was offered by Brother C. A. Smith, after which the gavel was turned over to the installing officer, R. E. Smith. The following officers were install- ed for the ensuing year: Shep., W. H. Wy- song: P. C. R., J. I. Roberts; C. R., W. H. Wate D. R., G. F. Fugel; recording sec- retary, E. Meyer; financial secretary, R. W Johnson; treasurer, R. E. Smith: Levit! W. R. Johnson; 1. G., A. W. White; 0. G H. Brewer; R. A. to W. C. Lenz: L. S. to C. R., S. Brewer; to D. R., Wm. Water: Under the good of the order R. W.John- son was called to the chair. Remarks were made by Rev. C. Alvin Smith, pastor of Peck Memorial Chapel; R. E. Smith, G. W. Wise, W. R. Johnson, William Welch, Mrs. Crown, Mr. Harrington and others. Reci- tations were given by Miss Mamie Frewer, Miss Mabel Crown, Mr. Gawler, Mr. R. W. Johnson and others. The services closed with prayer by Rev. Mr. Smith. Improvements Needed. The attention of the District Commission- ers is called to two needed improvements in this section of the city. About a month ago a sewer was laid at the intersection of 20th and M str The work has been completed for se ‘al weeks, but the road- y has never been improved, and a deep remains, which is dangerous for bicycle dark, and the cause of many srings on wagons. The other improvement needed is the re- pair of T street from 32d to h streets, two squares in all. The Western High School will shortly be completed, and this is the nearest route to the school from the ar line. The north side of the street is without a sidewalk, and the south side is in bad ccndition. The roadway of the street also needs attention. Sales of Real Estate. John D. Creissant and George O.

After the affair the aid society of the church will give a dance. George Hilicn was arrested yesterday by Policeman Gow, upon complaint of Inspec- tor Melton, charged with conducting an unlicensed restaura ROUTE FOR REINDEER. The Trail to be Followed from Dyen to Dawson. The route which the reindeer express will follow to the Klondike has been practically eecided by W. T. Harris, United States commissioner of education. It is as fol- lows: “Starting at Dyea, the trail goes north- to Fort Selkirk, to Dawson, to Circle City, to Minook, down the Yukon to Nu- lato; there it will branch across the coun- try to Cape Prince of Wales and the other cross country to Point Barrow. From Nu- lato it is probable that a branch will be o sent down to § chaels, and thence to the many little villages partly civilized by missionaries along the lower Yukon.” - Mi When a woman gets sickly, nervous, fretful and despondent the average husband doesn’t have the faintest conception % of what is the matter. When she gets worse, and he final- health of some description has something to do with it, he calls in some obscure neighborhood doc- tor. The chances are thaf§the doctor Says it’s stomach, or liver, or heart trouble. Nine times in ten he isn’t within a mile of right. He treats for these troubles and charges big bills until the husband gets dis- gusted and throws him out. The trouble is usually weakness or disease of the dis- tinctly feminine organism. Many husbands, after paying big doctor- bills while their wives grew steadily worse, have at last written to a physician of na- tional reputation and learned the truth. Ther have been justly indignant at the ig- norant tenders who have experimented upon their wives’ health. By writing to Dr. . V. Pierce, any ailing woman may receive the free advice of an eminent and skillful specialist, for thirty years chief consulting phys to the Invalids’ Hotel and Surgi- cal Institute, at Buffalo, N. Y. Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescriptton is a marvelous med- ne forwomen. It cures all weakness and disease of the organs distinctly feminine. It heals all internal ulceration and inflam- ion and stops debilitating drains. Ovet 000 women have testified, over their own atures, to its wonderful merits. “For several years I suffered with prolapsus of the uterus,” writes Miss A. Lee Schuster, of Box 12, Rodney, Jefferson Co., Miss. “I had a fall from my hors g retroversion of the uterus. os: famil; iy Physician treated me for kidney trouble ani everything else part the right thing I grew worse and worse. My body was emicat hands aud feet clammy and cold, stomach weak, with great palpitation of the heart. 1 dreaded for night to come. for I would suffer from nausea ail night, and so I continued until began taking Dr. Pierce's Favorite mn, and I began to improve right away.

Dolling, recently of St. Agatha’s, Landport, Eng., where he labor- ed among the working classes, is now preaching a series of Epiphany conferences at St. James’ Church, 8th street northeast between B and C streets, and will con- tinue during the week. Father Dolling commenced Sunday night. He had a large audience, many coming from other parts of the city. His manner of preaching is free from restraint, is direct, and exempt from sersationalism. He treats his sub- ject very carefully, and from his long ex- perience among the pocrer classes he brings out many points that are at once striking, and at the same time attractive, by reason of the naturalness of the pre- sentation. Mr. Delling is giving a series of ser- mons every afterncon during the week at the Church of the Incarnation.

Mr. Pet- ty has been quietly investigating the al- leged shortage for some time, and it is understood that when Mr. Kennedy learn- ed of the complaints he charged that the ecal had been taken away from the school houses, promising to sustain the charge, so it is said. But it is charged that when called upon to produce his witness, Mr. Kennedy explained that they would not testify.

Secretary Bliss expresses the great- est concern in the matter, and his co- operation to bring the guilty lynchers tc justice may reasonably be counted upon. In respcnse to a telegram from Com- missioner Jones of the Indian office for complete details of the outrage, Agent Wisdom, stationed at Muskogee, Ind. T. sent the following dispatch, which was re- ceived this morning: “Ll sent my clerk, J. F. Wisdom, to We- woka this morning to investigate the burn- ing of two Seminole Indians by a mob a white men from Oklahoma. I have jusi received the following dispatch from him: “‘We-woka, I. T., to Wisdom, Agent, Muskogee, I. T.: “‘Lincoln McGesey and Palmer Simpson, two Seminole boys, were burned at the stake by a mob composed, supposedly, of citizens-of Oklahoma, a place near Maud, Okla., Saturday morning at about 3 o'clock. These boys were charged with the murder of Mrs. Lane, a white woman, a resident ef the Seminole nation, who was killea the night of December 30. The two Indian boys were taken by the mob from the Seminole nation. Commissioner Fears ha arrived here and has been instructed by Judge Springer to miake an investigation of the matter. Everything quiet here, but the action of the mob is severely condemn- ed by citizens and non-citizens. (Signed) “WISDOM, Clerk.” “I hardly think there will be an uprising of. the Indiuns, and it is to be hoped the presence of the United States officials will suppress further outrages.

Brown of the Seminole nation was seen this morning by a reporter of The Capt. Black, » Engineer Commissioner, was ‘waited upon by a delegation of ladies from the southcestern section of the city this morning, who called to see if anything could be done in the matter of the im- provement of 4th street southeast, which, they were told, has been interfered with because the contractor engaged in the work will not accept certificates of indebtedness against the Anacostia and Potomac River railroad, and because the road will render no assistance in the matter. The ladies were informed that the Com- missioners a few days ago called the at- tention of Congress to the fact that they have had much trouble with the company because of the refusal of the contractor to accept further certificates of indebtedness against the road, but were also informed that it appeared that only Congress could mend matters. Therefore, Capt. Black sug- gested to the ladies that they also call the attention of Congress to the mater, which they promised to do. ee Not Provided For. The attorney for the District several months ago rendered an opinion to the ef- fect that the compensation of three of the assistant surveyors of the District was not authorized by iaw. Since then the three assistauts have not been paid, and the District Commissioners will shortly ask Congress to provide both for their employ- ment and compensation. Surveyor Looker's predecessor, Mr. Forsyth, paid the three assistants, who are employed on county work, by adopting their work. To a certain extent, it is said, the Dtstrict is compelled to rely upon the field notes and other data of these men, and, as such dat= is their own personal property, they are in a posi- tign to withhold it unless paid Commissioners feel, however, they explain the matter Congress will vide for the regular employment of the men.
