THE AVENUE PAVEMENT.

About twenty gentlemen interested in real
estate and business on Pennsylvania avenue,
and representing the property-holders along
the line of the proposed new pavement, waited
uIop the Senate District Committee Yesterday
morning, to urge tha: no delay longer than
necessary to guarantee good quality of work
be made in pushing forward the pavement
The opinion was expressed by many of the
gentlemen that the time originally named was
ample, if proper energy was exercised. Sew
eral Senators seemed to concur in this opinion,
but they said that as the paving commission,
which was responsible for the character of the
work, had requested an extension of time, the
request could not well be refused. Il was said
on the part Of the citizens that one month ad-
ditional would provide for all delays by bad
weather and other natural obstacles, and that
the time ought not on anI account be extended
beyond the first of January, especially as all
the bidders had expressed willingness to un-
dertake to complete the work by the first of
December. No promise was made upon the
part of the Senators, but they seemed to re-
ceive the views favorablv.
After the interview with the Senate COM
mittee the representatives of the property
holders proceeded to the office of the paving
commission, to lay before It the wishes of the
taxpayers on the Avenue and property holders
generally regarding the material to be used
and the manner in which the work should be
done in the roadway and by the railroad COM
pany between the tracks. The commission ad-
mitted the justice of the views presented, but
did Tot commit themselves as to the manner
the work should be done or what share of the
work would have to be borne by the railroad
company.
Among those who composed the committee
were Messrs. NJ. W. Gait, J. T. Lehman,
Geo. W. Cochran, A. R. Shepherd, Thos. L.
Hume, VIM. Wall, H. A. Willard, Francis
Tufty and others.

residence of Mr.. P. J. Lauritzen for the pur-
pose Of reorganization. Mr.. James E. Bell

then proceeded to the selection of permanent
officers, when Colonel j. o. Burnside was
unanimously elected president: Rudolph
Heunsch, vice president; Geo. E. Hale, secre-

ecutiye committee.
After discussion, the matter of electing a
"team captain" was deferred until the next
meeting of the corps.
The rules and regulations of the National
Rife Association, which govern all shooting at
Creedmoor, were referred to the executive
committee, who are to examine them and re-
port the practicability of their adoption to the
next meeting of the corps. After a general
discussion of the best methods of building the
iron targets and as to the transportation of
the members to and from the Benning's range
&c, the corps adjourned to meet again at the

Babe" Foster Wanted in Washington.

"Babe" Foster, who is held at Port To-
bacco as one of the murderers of Everett at
Glymont, is wanted in Washington to answer
a charge in case he escapes from Maryland
vengeance. He, with three other negroes, on
the night of the 18th of July, robbed the
wagon of an old man, which was standing near
the Centre market, of $50 in money and q
quantity of goods. Major Richards has COM
municated with the authorities of Charles
county to hold Foster for Washington officers
In case he is not identified as one of the mur-
derers. Parties coming up on the steamer

missed, one of them being held for the Wash
ington authorities to answer another charge,
as detailed above.

water to wine after as well as before drinking.

The finest figure of horse we have seen in
many day is to be seen in the show window
of the saddle and harness store No. 413 Thir-
teenth street, near Pennsylvania avenue. This
horse was imported from Ireland for breeding
purposes by Col. McGinnis, of New Orleans, at
a cost of $4,000, but was poisoned about a
year after his importation. 1t is enough to
say to judge of horses that his figure, as dis
played through the skill of the taAidermist, is
simply perfect, and Will well repay those fond

Worth knowing

For nearly thirty years tLere was no i'm
provement in plasters, until Benson's Capcine
Porous Plasters were invented. Necessity is,
indeed, the mother of invention. The ordinary
porous plaster has been found to act too slow,
days and weeks of continuous wear being re-
quired to bring relief and cure. The discovery
of capcine has been Of great value to medicine,
and to the people an incalculable boon.
CapciDe operates with astonishing vigor
upon disease, brings immediate relief, and
cures quicker than any known plaster, lini-
ment or compound. Capcine is superior to
electricity, and more certain; it strikes the
root of disease. 1t is purely vegetable. Ben
sons Capcine Porous Plasters are perfectly
free from metallic or mineral poisons. They
do not blister, and are indorsed by over two
thousand physicians and druggists of excellent
reputation. They differ from the ordinary
porous plaster in giving instant relief to the
sufferer, and insuring a positive and prompt
cure. Price twenty-five cents.
