sary Iormality of procuring license. Several
heads OF families present called on CLANCY
hague, constable of Granville township, to
suppress the nuisance. Mr.. Hague placed
Garner under arrest, and putting deputy in
charge OF the booth, started of the grounds
with his prisoner, when Edward, brother OF
John Garner, ran up with an axe in his hand
ana struck the constable blow on the neck,
seyering the wind-pipe and cutting through the

The Library Site Awards.

A RESOLUTION PROVIDING FOR PAYMENT OF
THE EXCESS OVER THE S55o,OO0 LIMIT.
Mr.. Voorhees, yesterday introduced in the
Senate q joint resolution reciting in its pre-
amble that the amount of damages assessed by
the Supreme Court of the District OF Columbia
In pursuance OF the act approprating S550,ooo
Tor the purchase OF a site Tor the Congressional
library was about $4,000 in excess OF that
amount and providing that this additional
sum be appropriated, TO be immediately avail
aDle Mr.. voorhees, submitted letter from
Secretary Lamar recommending this action.
Inc resolution was referred 10 the committee
On appropriations.
In the Senate to-day Mr.. Allison from the
appropriations committee reported Mr.. Noor-
hees resolution favorably aud asked its imme-
dlate consideration. Mr.. Plumb objected ana
il went over.
A PROBABILITY THAT THE AWARDS OF THE
LAST JURY WILL BE CONFIRMED.
Messrs X. K. Perry, Enoch Totem and Chas.
King, of the counsel for the property holders i'm
squares 729 $50 and 131 Qhe library site
who appealed from the jury OF seven to the
JUy OF Twelve men, Were seen by The STA X
reporter to-day. Thus tar there has been no con-
ference as To what will be done by them and
there has been no concert OF action by them.
w nlle out lew OF them arc satisfied with The
awards, IL Is believed that there will be no
serious opposition TO the confirmation OF the
awards on Thursday. There is but little doubt
however, that the counsel will oppose the con-
hrmation OF the awards, but ii is anticipated
that the court will make "A decree confirming
thSiH. Auc COuustl cltillu IuaI the great error
made was not allowing damage ana coufining
the awards to the market value and that the
jury should have been charged TO consider In
eitcii individual case the amount OF damages by
reason OF removal. As, however, il the case Is
carried up on questions vi law ii viii take some
months before an expression can be had from
the Court in General Term, and some years
before the supreme Court oI the United States
can decide the case, the property holders Will
not likely protest further than they Will do on
Thursday.
The counsel and the owners interested will
meet Tomorrow morning 10 determine what
course OF action, II any, they will take.
