GEORGETOWN,

FIFTY BAR RooMs.-There are about fifty
saloons i'll this section and all of them have
renewed their applications for licenses for the
present year and made the necessary deposits.
1t is thought that all of them have the neces-
sary signatures. The clause in license regula-
lions concerning convictions will not operate
against the saloon keepers west of Rock creek,
as it is thought that during the last year there
was only conviction OF saloon proprietor for
violating the Sunday law. The applications
have not yet been investigated by the police
nor have any of them been acted upon by the
Commissioners. Lieut.. Hollinberger said that
in the sections of Georgetown where the
largest number of saloons are the neighbor-
hood is as quiet as any other, and persons
walking along the street would hardly notice
the saloons unless they were looking for them.
AN ORNAMENT FOR CHRIST CHURCH.-The
chancel OF Christ church, Georgetown, has Just
been enriched by the addition of a most i'm
pressive representation of the Lords supper
placed above q sedilia and a credence-the
latter being supported by an angel FORM
Bronze tablets engraved with the decalogue and
the Lords prayer stand OH either side of the
last supper. The whole work. except these
tablets, is in carved oak and is ensbrined and
canopied with finest wood carving, with
pilasters, pediments and finals surmounted by
statuary of the same material. This work Of
art was made to order in Munich and presented
to their parish church by Mr.. and Mrs Walter
T. Wheatley, who have recently returned from
abroad.
No THoRoUGHFARE-The crossing at Bridge
and High streets is almost impossible owing to
the work on the large water main and the finish
ing of the electric railroad at that point. The
mud is piled on the sidewalk and in the street.
and the recent rains have added to, the bad con-
dition OF the thorOughfare.

FORFEITED HIS CoLLATERAL.-Yesterday was
cattle day at the drove yard and the usual num-
Der of dealers were Oh hand. Fred. Shelley, a
butcher, was among them using profane Ian
guage and was requested to accompany Police
man Amos to the police station. which he did
and deposited IS collateral for his appearance
in the Police Court this morning. He failed to
appear and his collateral was forfeited.
In THE SoUP.-The sections of water mains
to be laid along the canal road were placed
next to the canal side of the road until the
trenches were ready, and Sunday the bank gave
way near Green springs and two of the large
sections rolled into the canal. The other pipes
have since been arranged as to avoid any
further trouble of that kind.
POLICE NoTEs.-The prisoners from the third
precinct are now being brought over to the
seventh precinct and locked up for court. The
reason for this is that improvements are being
made to the third precinct and they have no
cell rooms in which to cOnfine their prisoners.--
