an estimate made and submitted to the COM

Yes, sir; the committee required IL.

chargeable against owners Of private property,

made up also with view Of getting the amount
of money that had been expended by tho city
of Washington prior to the board coming ini
A. No, sir; my impression Is that there is an
estimate up of 81 100000. These amounts
were taken, and the amount paid by the Gen.
ereral Government on these avenues were de-
Quoted from It, leaving . balance Of $700, 900.

Q. The divide is about A street northeasti
A. Yes, sir.
@. Now, all south of that Is either plateau,
that needs no main sewer at all, needing moth
ing but ordinary street sewers, as It lies on g
slope toward the Anacostia or toward the Po-
tomac7 A. It needs large brick sewers, one OF
which we have built on Seventh street, . brick
sewer five or six feet In diameter; and 1t needs
other sewers Of that kind, into which the late
raj sewers can be turned. You cannot iun
small .pipe-sewers from East Capitol street
down to the river. You have to run them into
large sewers; the idea Is to build the Seventh
street and Eleventh street main sewers, into
which the lateral pipe-sewers VIII run.

amount to be raised by this assessment. A.
Yes, sir. - .l,-g =. .Eu

Q. What main sewers were projected for
thatf A. think there are three main sewers
in that portion Of the city. There q one quite
large sewer built here already, on D street, In
this Section, which commences at the canal and
comes up just below Judge Hoit's place, If you

Elegant Green House.

Around the tower on the south side OF
his large and elegant residence, and front
ing the wide lawns aud summer flower
plats, Mr.. p. H. Gable has just completed
a very fine green house, in which can now
be seen great variety of rare and beau
tiful towering tropical plants, arranged
with care and cultivated taste by Miss
Lucie Cable--in fact we believe Miss
Lucie claims it as her green house. 1t is
warmed by steam pipes from the house,
and contains full supply of water and
flowing fountains, The large south win.
dow of the breakfast room. reaehinR fo The
floor, communicates with the green house
on the east side of the tower, and a slmi-
lar window from the back parlor on the
west side Of the tower communicates with
it from that side. The whole is a
model of beauty and luxury, and not only
delights the eye but fills the house with
the choice perfume of the rare flowers con
stantly in bloom.
Outside and little to the southeast Mr.
Gable has erected what he calls the cold
house ornamental structure, with
glass sides, in which can be placed during
the frosty nights of autumn, such plant:
as ought to be in the open air on pleasant
days, but require shelter at night
These fine improvements will add much

Whitley was chief Of this secret detective
service, Harrington was an assistant of
the Attorney General aud connected with
the Boss Shepherd gang. Whitley
Harrington, and fellow named Williams,
and others, were indicted for conspiracy
to have false accusation made against
Columbus Alexander, that he was one of
the persons who were concerned in break
ing the safe of Harrington in order to get
books of John D. Evans, books deemed
necessary to make plain and clear the
charge that the books which had been pro-
duced Before the Committee of Congress-
which Committee was investigating the af-
fair of the District-were not the genuine
ones belonging to the office OF said Evans.
1t is commended by the government that
the de;endeuts aud others lin the employ
OF the g1vcrnnent) laid their plans to en-
trap Alexander by getting him mixed
with the matter SO that they could charge
him with guilt, and it is contended that
Hayes, Zirrutu, and Benton were used as
instruments to entrsp Alexander, aud that
they lent themselves 10 that purpose.
The trial has been going On &, Washing

charged that the Administrator had its

Our County School Commissioner Brings powa
Stuffed SQUIRREL with HIS Little Gun.

To the Editors Of The Argus:
The people down here were deeply pain
ed in reading the compliment to Mac
Wiser office and gun, in your issue OF the
18th. to discover a spirit of discrimination
which cannot but appear invidious. What
wealth Mac has turned oyer to you in or
der to secure the sole honor of having shot
the stuffed squirrel it does not become US
to say; but honor to whom honor 5 due
is maxim too old to be discussed here,
and justice should recommend the County
School Commissioner to half the honor
thus usurped by the Collector of Internal
Revenue In fact, ''Starge" did shoot the
squirrel, and he shot the st'aifa out Of ii
too. and if the first realization caused him
to bound about like a raging lion at the
tas e of blood, desiring to kick the stuff
in" out Of anything in camp, we are still
persuaded that he holds no rancour.
\. B.-Gest, with spirit of self sacra-
fee "trooly bOotiiul, feels no anguish that
Surgeons impetuosity prevented hun
shooting the stuffed squirrel himself.
Yours. ANDALTSIA,
