livered by Mr. Davidge into the hands of the

The northern part of the city, along the line
of Fourteenth street, has been improved with
astonishing rapidity during tho past few years.
One Of the men, who has devoted much time
and means to building up and identifying this
section of the city is Mr.. W.. S. Roose, Mr..
Roose has lust completed two handsome stores
and dwellings, at Nos. 1922 and 1924 Four
tecnth street. These buildings are models of
neat workmanship. The stores, which are as
handsomely finished as any in the city, have
fronts of pressed brick, with ornamental de-
signs, and deep show windows of plate glass.
The stores within are finished neatly and ele.
gantly. In each building the rooms in the
rear and in the second-story, intended for the
residence of the stOrekeeper, are finished in
the best style, and the whole building is sup.
piled with all modern conveuences including
speaking tubes and electric bells. The plan OF
the buildings was suggested by Mr.. Roose, and
perfected by Architect Plowman. The stores
were built to last a long time and the material
and work is all of the best quality and very
ereditable to tho builder 9Gr. James Robbins

The case OF Rodericl1 against the District of
Columbia was decided by the Court in banc
yesterday in favor of the latter. This was an
action brought to recover the $40 per month
compensation granted by the acts Of the cor
poration of Washington of April, and of the
Legislature in August of the same yeai, which
compensation was withhold subsequently by
the District Commissioners under the act au-
thorizing them to reduce, adjust, and equalize
the compensation of officers paid in whole or
in part by the District. 1t was cOntended that
this act applies to officers created by the Dis
trict government, and that the police force WAS
Il Federal one.
Justice Macarthur delivered the opinion of
the court, and said that while it was evident
| that the Government contemplated that this
force was intended in part for the protection
of Government property the force was not
Invested of its municipal character. The diff
ferent boards each created by separate acts
constituted the municipal elements, as was de-
cided in the case of Barnes. If it were true
that the police force is a Federal one, what au-
! thorty had the Legislature to add so to their
pay. The law applies ito all officers payable
in whole or in part" and the force comes pre-
ciscly within the meaning of tho act, for the
force is supported by appropriations by Con
gress and the District. The Court was most
sensible of the meritorious services of the
force, but whether they were adequately paid
or not was not the question for them to CON
slider. They only gave construction of the
law, and Judgment must be given for the Dc

The court in general term ycsterday-Jus-
tees Wylie, Macarthur, and Hugner-settled
the long.dsputed question between Mr.. Will
liam b. Reed aud the District Commissioners
In regard to the Fire Commissionership Mr..
Reed applied for mdnddmus to compel the
latter to reinstate him in the Board of Fire
Commissioners, claiming that, as the represent
ativG of the Government, the Commissioners
had no power to remove him.
Justice Hagner delivered the opinion of the
court, and said that the only point to DO in
Quired into WAS whether OF no the gentleman
was originally eligible to the position. He
read from the act of the Legislative Assembly
creating the board, where so many members
were designated for Washington and George
town and one to represent the county, to be Il
resident thereof, and to be appointed by the
Secretary of the Interior. He concluded that
it was very evident that the latter appoint
ment was intended to represent that portion
of the District outside of the two cities, and
they were fully of the opinion that Mr., Reed
was not eligible for the position, and therefore
was illegally appointed This being the case
it was unnecessary to touch upon the other
points in the case, and the rule was ordered Ia
