NATION MEETING-THEY DECIDE TO GO TO
COURT TOMORROW IN BODY.
There was well attended meeting at Myers
hall, corner of 7th and n Streets last evening
in response to a call for a meeting of citizens
who oppose the erection of telegraph poles on
9TH street, between New York avenue and the
boundary. Mr.. r. C. Hewitt was called to the
chair, and Mr.. Oscar Nauck elected secretary
Mr.. w. c. Stone, the Junior counsel employed
in the injunction proceedings begun by citizens
against the w. u. Telegraph company and the
District Commissioners, said that If it was not
proper to put poles up on 14th, 9th and other
streets, there was equally good reasons against
the poles on 9TH street. The case brought before
the court, he said. would be heard on Wednes-
day morning, and he had doubt but suffi-
cient equity could be presented to get. the in
junction.
A letter from Col. Cook. who with Mr. Day.
idge and Mr.. Stone represent the complain
ants was read, stating the proceeding was i'm
portant, not only to them as citiZens-property
owners and lessees-but also TO the entire COM
munity. 1t involved the question, the letter
said, of whether the Commissioners of the Dis
trict can allow any part of the streets to be used
for the purposes oT pecuniary corporations, and
to the disadvantage of the people. And at the
present time, whether they discriminate in
favor of Notwithstanding that in some lOcali-

MEssRs. wHIPPLE AND DICKERsoN.
CHICAGO, May ga bill has been filed in
the United states circuit court here by Angus
tin /. Amber, of Washington. ID. c., against
Rodney NJ. Whpple and Thomas L. Dickerson
AmDler claims that in 1869 he and Whipple
were engaged in some patents for making gas
from petroleum. and procured "A joint patent in
July ofthat year. In August Whipple seized
the invention and apparatus and excluded
Nlnbler from all further control OF the shops or
business. He shortly after invited Thomas :.
Dckerson, of Chicago, to Washington, and
DickerSon soon after obtained "A patent for the
same devices covered by the patent issued to
Whipple and Amber The patent was very
valuable and before long rights TO the amount
of S10O, 600 were sold. Amber I'm the follow
ing January filed a bill for accounting against
Whipple and DickerSon, charging them with
fraud. He was defeated in the supreme Court
OF the District of Columbia, but was victorious
i'm an appeal to the Supreme Court of the
United States. After an accounting Amber
obtained decree in 1873 for S61., ,i34, as
Gas and Iron company, this decree being still
all their property and left Washington never
to return SO that the decree was never satisfied.
1t was shown on the trial that sales of rights
and licenses to the amount of S1,5O0o00 were
made, and ii was chiefly on this evidence that
Amber obtained his decree. Owing To the fact
that the defendants refused to be present to be
examined, Amber thinks that his decree was
too small He now wants a new accounting, an
injunction to restrain the defendants from dis
posing of their property and the appointment of

Fears That a Serious Outbreak Of the
COmmunists is Imminent.


PARIS, May 26.-As many as 5000 people
went to the cemetery of Pere-la-Chaise yester-
day to attend the interment OF tife revolution
ist, Caurnet. Not until the throng were leaving
the cemetery was any attempt made by the po-
tried to capture the red flag and To disperSe the
mob. In the melee which enSued n sergeant
was wounded with some long pointed steel in
strumeDt. The police were not equal TO the de-
mands of the situation, and had To summon the
republican guard To their assistance. 1t is as
serted that the project of police will to-day pub
lish a decree prohibiting the use of dags in pub
lie demonstrations.
The changed attitude of the government to-
ward the communists now causes serious
uneaSineSs and a general apprehension that a
dangerous outbreak is imminent prevails. The
prevalent opinion is that the anarchists must
be repres>ed with a firm hand. The rioting on
Sunday was the most serious that has occurred
since the days of the commune.
The triumphant attitude assumed by the
revolutionists since the withdrawal OF the mill
tary and police opposition 10 the communist
bitter feeling among the law and order
classes that the affair. il is believed, will now
lead To an Important debate in the chamber of
deputies Many suppose that one result of this
debate Will be an attempt to overthrow the
present ministry.

with red flags yesterday, and urges the enact

The French press generally condemn the In
decision of the government i'm its conduct dur
ing the past few DAYS towards the communists
what they term the triumph OF the communists
over the authorities.

PROF. WILEY THINKS THE CONDi rION OF THE
CITY WATER SUPPLY INVITES CAREFUL SU-
PERvISION.
Prof. II. w. Wiley, of the agricultural depart
ment, has made another analysis of four sam
pies of Potomac water, collected by Capt. I. w.
Symons, assistant engineer of the Washington
aqueduct together with one sample taken by
Prof. Wiley himself from water pipe in his
own laboratory.
Prof. Wiley concludes by saying: In all
cases the amount of albuminoid ammonia is
greater than first-class drinking water should
have. In no case, however, could the extent of
the pollution be considered prejudicial to
health judged by the quantity of organic mat
ter alone. As said in a previous cOmmunIca-
ton, The kin kind Of organic matter is of more i'm
amount The analyses show that the con-
dition OF the city's water supply should excite
