THE eInoN-eREsHAM ROW.
One Defendant Pleads Guilty, but tho
Othnra Stand TrInI.

The case of VIM. A. Gresham, Hubbard
T. Smith, and VIM. II. Ruff, charged with
assault on Alfred ID. Ghon on the Cd Of
March last, was set for trial in the Grim
inal court yesterday morning. The
assault was tho sequence Of an alleged
insult offered to lady at Albaughs Opera
House, and tho subsequent publication of
an article in one Of the weekly papers re.
flecting on the character Of Mr.. Gresham,
and which was believed to have been
furnished by Mr.. Gihon.
District Attorney Worthington APP
peared for tho prosecution and Mr.. II.
II. Davis for the defendants. The three
defendants themselves were present; also
quito number Of their friends.
Mr.. Davis, on behalf of Mr.. Gresham,
stated that the latter desired 10 with
draw his plea Of not guilty and substi-
tute ono Of guilty. This was permitted,
and sentence was suspended in order to
permit him to apply for executive elem
ency. The remaining defendants do
clared that they would stand upon their
plea of not guilty.
Mr.. Albert l.. Gihon was the first wit
ness, and gave his version Of the encoun-
tor at Twentieth and @ streets, in which
he claimed that Mr.. Gresham made tho
first assault upon him with cowhide,
and In attempting to evade his blows he
met Smith, who struck him a number of
times. He finally escaped tho party by
running out Twentieth street. On cross
examination the witness denied tho
authorship of an article published in the
| Capital on March LIST. purporting TO give
nm account Of the theater party, the trou-
Bile ensuing, and subsequent arrangements
for duel. The article was read to the
jury and created considerable merriment.
Mr.. Gihon admitted writing and sending
| to the Capital Office tho following para
graph THE duel which was to have been
fought between Mr.. Gihon and Mr..
Gresham has fortunately been averted by
Mr.. Gresham declining to fight"
Mrs. l.. II. Stevens, who stated that she
was an unfortunate witness of the occur
renee at Twentieth and q streets, related
what she observed Of the assault.
For the defendants John Hackett, the
driver of the coupe, was called. He
stated that as they reached the corner OF
Twentieth street Mr.. Gresham jumped
out and struck Mr.. Gihon three or four
times with q rawhido. Mr.. Gihon ran
toward Hillyer place, followed by Mr..
Gresham, and when about thirty fee,
away Messrs. Smith and Ruff got out of
the carriage and stood there.
Mr.. William II. Ruff, one of the de-
PENDANTS, testified that Mr.. Gresham
jun ped from the carriage and struck Mr.
Gihon twice, when he turned and ran
with Mr.. Gresham pursuing. He denied
that he had a stick Of any kind, or that
he struck Mr.. Gihon. He also denied
that Mr.. Smith did anything of tho kind
Hubbard T. Smith, the other dc fend
ant, corroborated the preceding witness
and tho evidence in the case was closed
Without the arguments being con
cluded the court, at the usual hour, ad
journed until this morning.

PAYMAsTER SMITHS CASE.
Tie Demands an investigation OF the
Newspaper Charges Against Him.

He Demands an Investigation or the
Newspaper Charges Against Him.
A New York paper published yesterday
morning statement charging that Pay
master General Smith, of tho navy, had
been guilty Of misprision in office in
favoring Mr.. Austin p. Brown in tho
matter of beef and pork contracts. Tho
charge states that Brown was allowed to
delay the supplying Of pork until the
market price had dropped from $3.50 to
$3.50 per barrel, his contract being based
on the former price. IL Is alleged that
Brown cleared $4,000 In excess of the
price that the goods could have been
bought for in open market when de-
| livered.
Paymaster General Smith yesterday
denied the charge, and signihed his in
tention of immediately asking for an in
vostigation, stating that the records OF
his Office would clear him. Gen. Smith
stated that contract had been made
with the lowest bidder, who was Mr.
Brown, and he had nothing TO do with
the fluctuations of the market. The
goods had not all been delivered at once,
but as needed, so that fresh supply
might always be had. He said that ho
knew such an accusation would DO made
upon him.
Mr.. Brown made n statement yesterday
similar to Con. Smiths, admitting that
an extension of time was made in deliv-
ering the supplies, but denied any ire.
gularity in the contract. He did not
clear $4,000, but only from $1,000 To
$4,000.

The commissioners in a lengthy reply
to Mossrs. Henry d. Green and John E.
Beall, in reference to the probable i'm
provement of Columbia Heights border
ing on Thirteenth street extended, say,
"there is neither sewerage, gas, nor water
on the streets referred to. The water
mains could be laid and the cost assessed
against the property owners whenever q
sufficient number Of owners desire il.
Gas mains will be naturally laid when
there are houses to consume gas. AS to
sewers the blocks will drain down tho
line to New Jersey avenue extended,
but the right of way is not yet acquired
for this avenue, and the main sewer is not
likely to be built for several years. As
the properly lies a half mile beyond
Boundary street, and is assessed at from 3
to cents, it is not likely that expensive
improvements will be carried to that
region until the city's needs are provided
for. Curbs, cutters, and sidewalks, how
ever. can be laid whenever the parties
interested pay the cost of the labor,
amounting to about so cents per foot"
