CAN THEY DO IT2
Doubts Regarding the City Councils
Action on Bonds.

Action on Bonds.
Considerable doubt is expressed by
the attorneys Of town as to the legality
Of the action purposed by the city coun-
Gil OF buying $1,000 worth of city bonds
alta premium of 81 per cent inlorder to
make way with some OF the cash on
hand before the new administration
comes in. The supreme court has re-
peatedly acted upon the right of coun-
ties to buy their own bonds at a prem
ium and has decided in the negative.
All that can be done with the sinking
fund is to invest II until the bonds shall
come due. AS these bonds 1t is pro-
posed to buy are not due and as some
body is goingito get rake oil iof $Ssd
as premium, 1t will be well to inquire
into matters little before acting.

Interesting Exercises Held Under tho Aus
pices of tho Different Councils.
On Saturday night various councils of the

hany took part, and addresses were made by

A STABLE BURNED.

STABLE BURNED.
At 1126 Saturday night fire was discovered
in the frame stable to the rear Of the ware
houses of Messrs. ]. G. Waters and John A.
Baker. on X street near High, and an alarm
was turned in. The flames had evidently been
engaged in their destructive work for some
time before they were seen, as when No. 5 en-
CINE arrived two mules and a horse that were
locked in had already met their death. In ad-
dition to the stream poured the burning
building by No. engines I and did steady
work. but the old stable doomed to de-
struction and soon was a mass OF charred tim
bers. The stable occupied by Mr.. j. C.
McCracken. the dealer in sand. and his loss is
probably $500. The fire, it is believed. was the
work of an incendiary. 1t only a week
ago and at the same hour Of night that the
buildings in front of this stable unaccountably
caught fire and were damaged to the extent OF
$1,000.
TWO MORE FIRES.
At about $50 yesterday afternoon the engine
was again called out and the cause was located
in the frame building on P street between SD
and saith, owned by Thos. E. waggaman. 1t
WAS quickly extinguished.
Then, at 1920 last night. the never-sleeping
fremen were again called forth, this time to
the corner of Grace and sgd.
NOTES.
On Saturday the small steamer Bartholdi,
armed with strong pillow, made path through
the Potomac's thick ice from the foot Of SD
street to the gambling dens on the Virginia side
of the river above the aqueduct. SO as to enable
the Sunday patrons Of those places to get up
without difficulty.
Mr.. Albert Bowling is having plans drawn for
a new road house which he proposes to erect on
the south side Of the Conduit road near Glen
Echo. The building will be 100 by 40, have
three stories and all the improvements Of q
city hotel Verandas will be numerous and
spacious.

the usual religious services in the churches.

overlooked the fact that q new year was about
to begin they we're forcibly reminded that some
thing Of the sort had happened by the din which
broke OUT at midnight. All the steam whistles
IN the city united In greeting ito the opening
year. The guns Numbered and horns Of all
degrees Of loudness and shrillness agitated the
midnight air with obligato accompaniment
from citizens who we're aroused from their
peaceful slumbers.
