Weddings Last Night.

Yesterday afternoon fifty-dve men by
appointment at the Office Of Attorney William
8. Jackson, opposite the post Office, to effect q
settlement Of some sort with Contractor January
Zone of those employed by the Georgetown and
Tenleytown Electric Railroad Company to grade
and pave between the tracks,, who had promised
to be present and do all in his power to satisfy
the laborers.
At ESQ, when the contractor, true to his ap-
pointment, arrived q committee Of two rep
resenting the men held q conversation In the
lawyers Office and it was finally agreed
that the men should again go to work
today. the president Of the railroad, Mr..
Wilson Ofutt, having authorized the guar
anteeing Of wages for future work. Coburn,
the member Of the firm who drew the money in
advance from the company last Friday night
and left without paving the laborers, is at
present in Baltimore, it was learned, he having
gone there to look after another contract the
firm had charge Of. The money drawn was
used over there. Coburn will prob
ably not return to Georgetown,
January having stated that he will
assume sole charge. Back wages may and may
not be paid. All depends upon the financial
outcome Of the contract.
Had not the contractors of the company re-
sumed work this morning Mr.. Chaffee, who is
improving the road on either side of the tracks
for the District. would have completed the
paving, the District authorities having ordered
him to do go. The cost to the company, it is
said, would have been much greater IL this had
been done than will be incurred under the con-
tract
Everything moves along in canal matters in
the usual way. Thus far in the conduct Of tho
affairs of the waterway there is nothing to sug-
gest a change of administration.
