It will be con- sidered in committen of the whole in the house some time within the next ten days, and then the bill will go to the senate Those who are in a position to know assert | that 1t will be four or five weeks before the | bill reaches the governor Councilman Ed Johnston assisted the com- mittee in arranging the amendments and in preparing the committee report. The amendments cover twenty-one pages of typewrition paper and number weventy-five | amendments. Some of the changes are im- | material, but quite a number of improve- ments are noted in the altered charter. For instance, railroads will be compelled to re pair 1,200 feet of viaduct approaches In stead of 800 feet. This will make the re- palrs to the L street viaduct fall entirely upon the railronds Instead of partially on the city, as at present. It is understood that the rallrond companies agreed to this proposition and further asserted that no The city 18 to be di vided into six wards, and councilmen are to | be elected by wards, instead of at large, as was at first proposed.

It will be the same In the Fourth ward Johnston's term expires, and although he 1s & democrat, it will take a very popular republican to heat him in case he decides to stand for a re-election. As for members of the Board of Educa- tlon, the republicans hope to elect three members to replace those whose terms ex pire. It will not be a hard matter to do | this, as Roberts and Brennan are classed as obstructionists, while Loechner is, to | a great extent, with the administration It is asserted that nefiher Roberts or Brennan has ghost of a show, but 1t he wants to enter the race.

Wright Won't Work, | Joe Wright, colored, has been sentenced to thirty days on the rock plle for steal- ing a set of harness. Wright won't work and he told the judge as much when sen- tence was Imposed. Yesterday the pris- oner was loaded with a ball and chain and taken to the rock pile, but he sat| around as if nothing was dolng and abso- lutely refused to Iift hls hand. He evi- dently thinks that the city proposes to allow him to spend his days in idleness, but Judge King has the last think coming in this case. The judge says that when Wright don’t work he gets no credit on the thirty days' sentence. Further, commenc- ing today, Mr. Wright will be fed ex- clusively on bread and water until he delgns to operate a sledgehammer in ac- cordance with the tdeas of Special Ofcer Wolfe, who has charge of the chain gang.
