The Rumpus Raised by Ordway Quisted-
The Generals Order Suspended.
[By telegraph to the Dispatch.l

WASHINGTON, d. c., March IA dele
CATION of the leading colored citizens of
Washington, headed by Auditor Lynch
and ex-senator Bruce, waited on the Presi-
dent to-day and protested against the re-
cent order of Brigadier-General Ordway,
of the District National Guard, mastering
out two battalions of colored troops be-
cause of the action of Congress- in re-
ducing the appropriation for the District
Guard. The President said that he would
see that the necessary reduction of ex-
penses was not made on the color-line,
and that the order should be changed so
as to protect the interests of the colored
troops.
The President further said that the CO.
lored contingent would not be asked to
bear the deficiency in the appropriation.
Ii might be necessary for them to consoli-
date their two battalions into one to save
expenses. He said that he knew nothing
of the issue of General Ordway's order dis
banding their organizations, and when it
was shown to him by the delegation he ex-
pressed surprise and remarked that he
knew nothing of it and promised to ex-
anime into the matter.
Later in the afternoon General Ordway
was sent for by the President, ard.as re-
suit his order was suspended. Ii is under
stood that the two colored battalions are
to be consolidated as indicated by the
President. The colored people in Wash
ington are gratifed at the result of the
Presidents action, which tends to allay
the feeling engendered at the indignation
meetings.

A Delicate Question.

During q lull in the court proceedings at
Auburn the other day Sheriff Lamb pro-
pounded legal question based on an ac-
tual occurrence recently in East Liver
more. says the Bangor Ne1cs.
Two neighbors in that town own rams.
One Of the rams jumped over the fence into
the field of the neighbor and while there
injured one Of the cattle which was grazing
in the field. The neighbor caught the ram
and tied him in the barn where his own
ram was tied.
AS he happened to give him too much
slack rope the ram got at the more securely
tied ram belonging TO the man who had
tied him and killed him. After having per-
formed this feat he managed through the
extra amount of rope 10 get so entaneled
as to get hanged by the neck until he was
dead.
The legal question involved was az to
who should pay for the ram--the neighbor
who by letting his ram loose caused all the
trouble or the neighbor who by tying him
in the barn 30 carelessly caused the death
OF both animals.

4 Detail to Study the German Cavalry
service-A Dilemma.
[By telegraph to the pIspatch.l

WASHINGTON. March 1.-THE Spanish
Minister IN Washington to-day received a
cable dispatch from the Captain General
of Cuba declaring that there are no signs
of revolution or disorderly outbreak of
any kind upon the island.
Acting-Secretary Grant has detailed
Lieutenant Powhatan II. Clark, of the
Tenth cavalry, to special duty with the
Second Westphslian Hussars, No. IL, of the
Imperial German army, for the purpose OF
studying the German cavalry service. The
detail is made by invitation of the German
Government. Lieutenant Clark has made
q study of the cavalry branch of the SER
vice. and is regarded as specially fitted for
the duty assigned him.
The Washington and Georgetown Street
Railway Company is in a dilemma. The
company hos purchased valuable block
in the heart of the city and Il about TO
erect power-house at cost a over half
o million dollars to fit the rosl out with
cable-pover. 1t now appears that the city
water-mains cannot supply tie 1000. 900
gallons OF water necessary each day to
operate the engines, and the commissioners
have decided that they caniiot grant y
permit to lay supply pipe to connect the
house with the river.

Crawford was executed in the corridor of
the Macon-county Jail in the presence of
200 witnesses at HIS A. Nj. He murdered
Mrs. Matthias August 26th because she
would not marry him. He was convicted
February 4th. A great shout went up
when the verdict was rendered. and only
expeditions work on the part of the jail
officials in getting him out of the court
room and behind the bars prevented the
crowd from lynching him. The prisoner
preserved the most nonchalant demeanor
throughout, both before and after his con-
yiction. He refused to allow his attor-
news to either appeal the case or to apply
to the Governor for stay of execution or
communication OF sentence. He said that
AS he had been condemned to death he
wanted the sentence carried out.
