SOUTH WASHINGTON.

The flats south OF the Long Bridge now
present the appearance OF a well-kept market
garden. Rows of vigorously.growing vege-
tables can be seen from the Washington shore,
and laborers are always at hand to keep down
the grass and weeds and enable the garden
products to grow with freedom. The garden
Is one of the best cultivated in the suburbs,
and 1t is expected that large crop Will be
gathered.
The ferry wharf is receiving a handsome
new coating of paint and being otherwise i'm
proved.
The water In the Potomac has reached its
average summer temperature and is unusu-
ally clear and free from debris.
The City of Alexandria, Of the ferry line,
was taken from the route to-day to be exam
ined by the steamboat inspectors, and the
Mystic was run in her place.
The residents along the river front are COM
planning about the foul odors arising from the
hats, and which It is feared will cause sick
ness. Tho bad smell Is occasioned not only by
the new mud turned up by the dredging ma
chine, but by the vast quantity OF filthy mat
ter that Is thrown into the Washington chan
mel, and which cannot be 1oated away on ac-
count Of the lack OF current.

street, and were witnessed by many Of the
relatives and friends OF the pupils. The exer-
cises consisted OF singing, recitations and
music, and the manner In which the pupils,
most OF them very small children, delivered

agement OF the teacher. Several hours were
required to carry out the programme Of exer-
cises.

THE NAVY-YARDS,
what Mr.. MulIett, ofthc Commission,
Says About the Coming Changes.


On tho 1st Of July next, unless Secretary
Chandler experiences change Of heart, as
1t were, the construction department of the
Washington Navy-Yard will be closed and
largo number Of mechanics, laborcrs and
clerks will thereby be thrown out of
employment. A reporter of The CRITIC
met Mr.. A. d. Mullett. who is member Of
the commission on the reorganization OF
the Navy-Yards, this morning, and asked
him what effect this will have on the
general usefulness Of the Washington yard I.
Said he, in effect, that the carrying out of
the recommendations of the commission
and converting the Washington Navy
Yard into a manufacturing arsenal, will
greatly increase its importance and furnish
not only large amount of additional work,
but continuous and steady work. while
Norfolk being virtually at the mouth of
the Potomac River and with far better fa-
cilities for the work of construction and re-
pair, renders any construction department
in the Washington yard not only unneces-
sary, but useless. In any event he said
such work would only be spasmodic at this
yard, and therefore not desirable for me-
cbanics, while the work as a manufactur-
ing arsenal will give continuous and steady
employment to more men than are at pres
ent employed. @
Hons. Samuel ]. Randall, Charles O Neill,
Alfred j. Harmer and General Harry
Bingham called upon Secretary Chandler
this morning and appealed to him not to close
the Philadelphia Navy-Yard temporarily,
as recommended by the commission. The
spokesman of the delegation claimed that
to close the yard even for limited
period would impair its future useful
ness and would also be disadvantageous
to the country. Mr.. Mullett was present
and sustained his commission. He said
that the yard is Of no material use, and
thought that to close it until after Congress
has made an appropriation sufficient to
make it what it should be-a large iron
ship-building yard-would be in the end
better for it.
A delegation is expected here to-day
from Pensacola, Fla, and they will also
present their grievances to the Secretary.

FIGHTING ABOUT PHYLLIS.
A Desperate Conflict in south wash.
fngtOu Last Night.

Last night about o'clock brutal and
bloody conflict occurred in McHughs alley,
q small thoroughfarc, between X and l.
and Sixth and Seventh streets southwest.
John Hawkins, alias Slim Jim, and Bob
Robinson, twos colored men, have for some
time been paying attention to Phyllis
Jones' an exceedingly attractive dark
damsel. The two men were jealous Of each
other, and several times were prevented
from engaging In fight by the timely in
reference of friends.
Lately Hawkins claimed the woman as
his wife, and hired rooms for her in the
alley named, but the other suit0r for her
hand persisted in his endeavors to marry
her. Hawkins strongly resisted his intru-
sions and warned him to keep away from
the premises or take the consequences.
Robinson chose the latter alternative and
called with the same regularity as before.
All day yesterday the woman and Haw-
kins were quarreling, and in the evening
he went away, but returned shortly after
ward to find that Robinson had called dur
ing his absence and was being entertained
by Phyllis.
The anger of the man knew no bounds,
and as soon as he entered the door he seized
the woman and commenced to mercilessly
beat her, and wound up by severely cutting
her and knocking her senseless with q beer
Eldss. WuO uhu COuCtditu Hlu-
self now appeared and endeavored to
shield the helpless female from the blows
of his rival. The men assaled each other,
and n life and death struggle with beer
glasses, fists, knives and other weapons en-
sued.
By this time the entire neighborhood
was aroused by the noise of the conflict, and
crowds collected in front of the house.
Robinson is a much more powerful man
than Hawkins and was rapidly exhausting
him when Officer Sadler appeared upon the
scene and placed both under arrest Haw-
kins was almost unable to move from loss
of blood and had to be hauled to the station
house, where Dr. Sumby was called in and
dressed his wounds. Robinson was also
placed in limbo after making strong efforts
to escape.
Hawkins, besides being badly mauled
about the body, was found to have deep
cash in his forehead, which separated an
artery, and he bled until at one time his
life was despaired of, and he suffered in
tensely throughout the night. With the
exception Of few flesh gashes, Robinson
did not appear to be much injured.
| Phyllis, the cause of the fight, was also
dangerously i'll all night and required
medical attendance.
The combatants appeared in the Police
Court this morning covered with blood.
| Robinson was given three months in Jail for
affiay and Hawkins was sentenced to fif-
| teen days for that charge and held to an
sNer for the assault on the woman.

A Question for Scientists.

A singular phenomena accompanied the
storm which occurred last evening in this
city. A sudden and violent conclusion, as
though .hundred-pound rifed Parrot gun
had been discharged in the northwestern
section of the city, took place during the
heaviest fall of rain shortly after s
p. m. The sound was unaccompanied
by the usual reverberations of thunder, but
vivid flash of light was observed, like the
bursting Of rocket, and all was still ex-
cept the bowling of the wind which at the
moment was furions. Underneath the
large trees in the yard of Mr.. A. F. Ran
dali (of the firm of Randall e. jackson, at
torneys), on R street northwest, was found
twenty-four dead birds English sparrows),
many of them severely mangled as though
torn by rifle bullets. Nothing could be
seen indicating the action of fire, but the
birds were evidently killed by the electric
fluid

Conclusion OF Yesterdays Evidence
In the XIII Case.

After THE CRITICS report of the Hill
Mr.. Alexander of the committee, and in an
swer to interrogatories, testified that he
knew of the bribery charge at the time it
was made. He asked Mr.. Damon about it,
and he denied having offered a bribe to the
Manly & Cooper Company. Witness did
not take any stock in the charge, however.
He told Secretary Folger what he had
heard, but did not tell him the amount
($4.500) or show him the written charges
filed by Manly & Cooper.
The committee then adjourned until this
morning.

rho whipping.post the Best Cure.

Richard Coleman was in the Police Court
again to-day for beating his wife. The
woman did not wish to prosecute, and it
was with difficulty that she was persuaded
to tell how her husband had beaten her.
When asked whether Richard had ever
pounded her before she said: eyes, he has
slapped me, but that is natural for husband
and wife," Her delicate submission to her
husband rather lost its charm when she
answered another question as to whether
she could get along if her husband was
sent to Jail. "He is good husband" she
replied, "and l do not believe 1 could get a
better one if he was in jail" The Court
imposed sentence of SIS or fifteen days.
