An important Suit.

Messrs. Valentine and Carusi, as counsel for
Charles Z. Evans, have entered suit in
equity against the District for an account, &c.
He sets forth that he made in 1872 some six
teen contracts with the Board of Public Works
for the grading and paving Of streets, &C., and
that he fully complied with said contracts,
completing under them some thirty different
works in various parts of the city, and that
there came to be due him from the District
81 ,SS7 S97 .10 but that the District authorities
have never settled his accounts, and that there
still remains due him about six hundred thou
sand dollars by reason Of being compelled to
accept certificates for the work when the con-
tract prescribed that psymant should be made
in lawful money of the United States. Some
time since the District Commissioners gave
notice to all the contractors whose work had
not come up to the standard of their contract
to repair their work, informing them at the
same time that on failure to repair the work
the repairs would be made by the District, and
suit entered against them for the cost. 1t was
then threatened that II the District Commis-
sioners pursued the course indicated the con-
tractors would refuse to recognize the pay.
ment in certificates as payment in full, and
would sue for the residue. Hence these pro
ceedings.

consist Of vocal music by the entire club, who

larged has been subdivided into small work
ing committees to perform all the labor neces-
sary for the interesting occasion promised our
citizens. We have been authorized to an
nounce the arrangement Of the committees, as
follows:

herd, Col N. B. Fugitt, Col. R. I. Fleming,

man of the original committee Of five, and
who has been very active in conducting the
correspondence in negotiating for this great
match to be contested in our city, declined
yesterday to longer act in the capacity of chair
man, believing that some gentleman more
thoroughly identified With the property inter-
ests of the District of Columbia should fill
that place. The committee, however, in ac-
ceptiDg the ColonePs declinstion promptly
made him their corresponding secretary.
The time being short, the committees un-
doubtedly will lose no time in arranging and
perfecting all the details for the week of rare
sport and entertainment. The announcement
