THE NORTHERN MARKEE
MEETING OF THE COMMISSION YESTER-
DAY-THE WORK TO COON.


DAY-THE WORK TO GO ON.
The Northern Market Commission held Their
regular monthly meeting at the corner of Sew
enteenth street and Pennsylvania avenue, yes
terday at noon. A majority of the members
were present
Mr., Peter Campbell, the president, occupied
the chair, and S. R. Bond secretary.
Mr.. Campbell stated that Congress, with a
full knowledge of the past proceedings of the
commission in contracting for the erection Of
market on Corcoran square, (Which contracts
are found printed on page $50, &c, of the joint
special committee, } had in section nine of the
act for the government of the District of Co
lumbia recognized and continued the functions
of said commission, and read the section, as
follows:
"That no board or commission of which the
Governor is er o17cio member, (the Board Of
Public Works excepted shall be abolished by
this act, but the members of the same, other
than tho Governor, shall constitute such board
or commission"
The commission was therefore recognized by
Congress and continued in all its functions,
and there was no alternative for them under
the nets of the Legislative Assembly but to
construct the market buildings under said
contracts with the least possible delay, in
order that the citizens might be furnished with
BTODer market ACCOMMODATIONS, Tic uSaltIs
with ample facilities for disposing of their
stock and the city receive a large revenue
therefrom. The cause of the delay in con-
structing the market buildings he briefly stated
to be the failure of either Governor to negotiate
the bonds authorized for its construction.
What the cause OF that failure was it was un-
necessary to discuss.
He suggested that a committee be appointed
to confer with the Commissioners of the Dis
trict of Columbia in order that the bonds
authorized and executed for its construction
might be negotiated at once, either 10 the cOrI-
tractor or other parties, as should be found to
be most advantageous, the recent large ad-
vance rendering such negotiation both de-
sirable and practicable.
On motion of Mr.. Brewer, committee of
three, including the chairman, was appointed
to confer with the Commissioners on the sub
iect. Messrs. S. R. Bond (the secretary and
Mr.. c. J. Brewer, were appointed the other
members of the committee. They propose to
meet the Commissioners as soon as an audi
ence can be obtained.
On motion of Mr. Gray, the commission ad-
iourred to meet on Monday next at IL m, to
hear the report of the committee.

THE TENPLARS.

A writer in Blaektsood'S says: "The Order
of the Temple was started at Jerusalem, in
Ills, by nine French gentlemen, who united
themselves in society, under the name Of the
Brothers of Christ, in order to protect pilgrims
and defend the faith. They took the three
monastic VOWS, and although they began most
modestly in q little house which the second
Baldwin gave them near the Temple, the usual
donations soon arrived and enabled them to
form themselves into . regular military order,
the distinctive sign Of which was the red cross
on a Write robe. They rapidly became famous
and acquired the reputation Of possessing the
geptleness Of lambs, the patience Of hermits
and the courage Of hons.' But they had the
misfortune to grow rich, and in consequence,
iumped suddenly from humility and susterity
| 10 every sort Of vainglory and licentiousness.
Richard Cnur de Lion said Of them at this
epoch that, wishing to Danish vice from hiI
court. he had married pride to Templsr;' the
proyerb boirs CONNIE an 1s1aplieT got into circu'
iatjon At the same time. The order grew II
wealth, IN strength, in disorder and in thirst
for domination. Suddenly q coalition wal
| formed against It; the Templars were con
demned by both Pope and kings, and were ex
tinguished in 1912 with even more than thi
usual cruelty of the period"

with no option of redemption, and their free
dom from all taxation, give them certain at
fractions for investors possessed by no other
bond yet issued. The recent legislation in re-
gard to the financial affairs Of the District Is
only just beginning to be understood, and Is at
tracing considerable attention to District Sc
curities from class of people who have been
ayerse to looking into them before. The con-
sequence is that there has been an appreciation
Of ten to fifteen per cent. on all classes within
the past three weeks. The payment OF the July
interest on the bonded debt put the price Of the
four million loan held in Germany back from
n, to which 1t had dropped on the Frankfort
Bourse, under the influence Of the investiga-
ton, to par in gold, and it deserves remark in
this connection that the District of Columbia
has never yet defaulted on the payment OF in
terest on the debt, and never before received
any aid from Congress to that end.

THE SAFE BURGLARY.
HON. A. G. RIDDLE TO PROSECUTE
HAYES AND BENTON.

HON. A. G. RIDDLE TO PROSECUTE
HAYES AND BENTON.
Some days ago Hon. Geo. P. Fisher, United
States District Attorney, requested that the
Attorney General should designate some men,
fber of the bar 10 assist In or take charge Of the
prosecution of Benton and Hayes, both of
whom are under indictment and incarcerated
for the burglary of the safe in his office. This
request was evidently made for the reason that
the mystery attending the affair had not as yet
been unraveled.
Taking all things into consideration the At
torney General concluded to comply with the
very reasonable request, and yesterday desig-
mated Hon. A. G. Riddle, Of this city, to take
entire charge of the prosecution. Mr.. Riddle
Is at present absent from the city, but It is al
most certain that he will take charge as re-
ouested, and in that event the people may
expect, through the crucible of the court room
and public prosecution, to arrive at the truth
of this wonderful crime.
The trial will take place as soon as possible
and some extraordinary developments are an
ticipated by parties on both sides Of the ques-
ton.

COMPLIMENTED BY THE JUDGE.
John Horan went to the bar ofthe New York

of felonious assault and battery against his son
William, youth aged twenty years. he told
the Judge that his son, at whom he looked now
and then with q sort ofsardonic grin, had beat
en- him most numerically, without provoca-
tion. William looked so quiet and decent that
the Judge called him up to tell what he had to
say. William modestly stepped up to the desk
and was at first inclined to say nothing, but
suddenly thought struck him, and he said
tsIfI let myself be brought 10 jail she will not

asked this man for some money for soap. He
told her she could not have 1t, and made some
taunting remark about her pride in keeping
clean. Mother never answers him back, for
she knows how cross and rough he is.
"He hit mother in the face with his fist. 1t

presence, and was determined It should be

match for him, and suggested that he protect

Judge Wandell said:-"Young man, am
proud to see that you love your mother and
are anxious to protect her, but your violence

scHESoK's SEA WEED TONIC.

In the atmosphere experienced here during the
summer months, the lethargy produced oy the
heat takes away the desire for wholesome food,
and frequent perspirattGns reduce bodily energy
particularly those suffering from the effects OF de,
biIltating diseases. In order to keep natural
healthfuI activity Of the system, we must resort
to artificial means. For this purpose Sohenck
Sea Weed Tonic is very efectual. A Few doses
will create an appetite and give tresh ytgor to the
enervsted body. For dyspepsia il is invaluable.
Many eminent physicians have doubted whether
dyspepsia can DO permanently cured oy the drugs
which are generally employed for that purpose.
The Sea Weed Tonic in It's nature lie totally dii-
ferent from such drugs. 1t contains no corrosive
minerals or aeIds in fact, It assists the regular
opera tiOns Of nature and supplies her deficiencies
The tonic in its nature so much resembles the
gastric Juice that IL Is almost identical with that
fluid. The gastric juice is the natural solvent
which, in a healthy condition Of the body, causes
the food TO be digested and when this juice is not
excreted in suflcent quantities indigestion, with
ali its distressing symptoms, follows. The Sea
Weed Tonic performs the duty Of the gastric
mice when the latter is deficient. Sehenek's Sea
