Pressure of Water.

Water serves to convey any pressure or
power which may be given to it, whether
that pressure is pumping engine at the
end of main or by means of a column or
weight of water above the main contained
in lofty tower or high storage reservoir.
One cubic foot of water weighs G215 pounds,
and if the height of the column is increas-
ed the pressure upon the base is increased
for every foot thus added a further 621a
pounds. A column of water one square
inch in area at base and 2.3 feet high
weighs exactly one pound, so that for every
increase of height of 2.3 feet pressure of
one pound per square inch is added to the
base.-American Engineer

Correspondence Of THE EVENING STAR.
ROCKVILLE, July 9.
No inquest was held on the body of Mr.. Bur-
ton Ricketts,, killed on the railroad about half
a mile north OF this place, as heretofore stated
in The STAR, but the facts appear to be that
he had been on a visit to this town and was re-
turning to his place Of employment, about a
mile away. He generally went alongside the
railroad track part of the way. He is sup
posed on this occasion to have passed the path
leading from the track of the railroad to his
destination on the farm of Mr.. Edward Gar
rett, where he was employed, and on his return
to find the path was struck by the east-bound
train. upon the cow-catcher Of which his body
was found upon its arrival here. His remains
were taken to the undertaking establishment
OF W. r. Humphrey, where they were pre-
pared for burial and afterward removed to the
residence of his widowed mother at the
east end of the town. II was found
that the back part of his head had
been crushed and the bones of his legs and
arms broken. His hat and his shoes had been
torn from his person and there was trail Of
blood along the track for several hundred
yards. 1t took the united strength of two men
to remove his body from the engine, on which
he had deathy grasp. He was young man
greatly respected in this community, and
much sympathy is extended to his widowed

PETITION FOR IMPROVEMENT OF TUSLAw
RoAD.-A petition to the District Commission
ers requesting the improvement of the Iunaw
road. which ut present connects with the new
cut road through Burleith. is being widely cir
culated ana receiving many signatures. The
petition sets forth the ACCESSIBILITY of improv-
ing this route owing to the danger of driving
in proximity 10 the electric cars, on the High
street road. and say the new route will make a
pretty drive. While this project is not being
actively opposed there are many citizens who
say that If the present road on which the cars
of the Georgetown and Tenlytown Railroad
Company run was widened it would be of more
direct benefit to Georgetown than to improve
the Tunlaw road.

PROMISED TO LEAVE THE CITY.
An indianapolis Politician Brought
Before Judge Miller.

A case which attracted some attention was
called for trial in the Police Court this morn
ing. The defendant was DIR. John T. Downey,
prominent democratic politician from In
dianapolis, who served three consecutive terms
in the city council in that city. There were
two charges against the prisoner. One was
brought under an act of the legislative assem-
bly, and charged that the defendant was con-
fdence man and that he attempted to obtain
money from Drs. Munson and Carraher. The
other was a charge Under the vagrancy act OF

Several physicians were present as witnesses
and Drs. Munson and Carraher gave evidence.

and of his desire to obtain S. or $40 from them.
They said that Downey represented to them
that he was acting an agent of the New Eng
land Mutual Accident Association and he repre-
sented to DIR. Munson that he wanted him as
the associations physician in this city aud that
DIR. kauterburg had recommended hin Mum
SOM. The. prisoner wanted the dOctprto take
out policy before being appointed physician
to examine applicants and wanted a payment
made on the policy. He told the doctor that
he would probably make about $500 a year and
at the end of the year he could pay the balance
on the policy. The doctor did not pay any
money to the prisoner, but telegraphed to the
company and that caused Downey's arrest.
TESTIMONY AS TO CHARACTER.
Lawyer Nichols formerly of indianapolis,
called witnesses to the defendants charac-
ter. Deputy Marshal Mccartney Of the Police
| Court gave evidence as to the defendants good
character when he knew him in indianapolis

council. He Downey) was also in the insur-
ance business at that time and had an Office on
Market street
Mr.. Mccartney said that DR.. Downey was al
that time good and reputable citizen of In
dianapolis.
| Mr. johnson Of the sixth auditors Office also

city, testified that he did not know DR.. Downey.
| He described the workings of the company
| and said that DIR. j. Harrison Crook was the
| companys resident physician.

Judge Miller. after hearing a discussion o.
the cases, decided to take the defendants per-
sonal bonds and continue the case indefinitely
SO as not to make any record against DR.

peated the offense he would be brought il

Poor Prospect for "A Joint Regatta.

The board of governors of the Columbia
Athletic Club held a meeting last night to dis
cuss the question of joining with the other
boat clubs this summer for the purpose of
holding joint regatta The result of their
deliberations will be disappointment to a
good many people, for it was decided that mas
much as the Amateur Athletic Union will hold
Its championship games in this city in the fall,
all the arrangements for which will deyolve
upon the Columbia Athletic Club, it would
hardly be advisable for them to take an active
part in joint regatta. This will probably kill
the scheme, as it is hardly thought the other
clubs will get up regatta without the Column
bias.
