Can't Have Wells.
District Assembly 66, Of the knights of
Labor, met in regular session last evening,

in the chair. and Stephen A. Clements acting
as secretary. A large amount Of routine busi-
ness was transacted.
Delegate Peter McKeon, Of the New York
Shoe Workers Organization, was prssent and
addressed the assembly with reference to the
troubles existing between his trade and the

assist him In continuing his work.
The assembly authorized It's presiding
officer to appoint u committee Of three to rep
resent the body in the conference Of labor
organizations engaged in making preparations
for the proper observance Of Labor day, the
first Monday In September next.
The Eccentric Engineers reported large
accessions to their numbers during the last
few months, and presented an invitation to
the district master workman to be present at
their meeting this evening and assist In the
initiation Of some candidates. Owing to Mr..
Simmons appointment on committee Of
the suffrage meeting on Wednesday evening
he was obliged to decline, and appointed the
district worthy foreman as his substitute.
The activity Of the city authorities In con-
demning and sealing up the wells was then
referred to, and after full discussion COM
mittee was appointed to draft suitable resolu-
tions on the subject, who reported the follow
ing. which were unanimously adopted:
Whereas the health department Of this city
acting under orders from the District Commis-
sioners have Condemned many pumps in vari-
Gus sections OF the city, claiming that the water
was contaminated by sewage, thereby cutting
on the supply OF water from large numbers Of
the poorer class Of people, and consequently en-
failing much more suffering than can be ex-
pected from the continued Of the we'll water
which has served for many years; therefore
Resolved by d. A. G6, K OF L., That we demand
Of the authorities that no well be condemned or
sealed up unless It can be- satisfactorily shown
that the water is impure and dangerous to the
public health; and be 1t further
Resolved, That where any such wells may
hereafter be condemned and sealed up. the poor
people Of the neighbOrhood be furnished with
Potomac water free of cost and be Il still further
Resolved, That the legislative committee Of
the District Assembly be instructed to draw up
and have presented to Congress q bill giving
Potomac water free to all people who are unable
privilege should be extended to the entire peo-
pie, believing as we do, that tie water we drink
should be as tree as the air We breathe.

WALKER MUST STAY.
Justice Cox Returns Him to Providence
Hospital Until His Sanity Can Be
Determined,

Justice Cox yesterday remanded Barlow L.
denee hospital and later issued writ de lu-
natico inquirendo.
Mr.. Walker is a real estate broker. and on
May q last was admitted to Providence hos
pital upon petition OF his wife and on the rec
ommendation of DR.. John W. Bayne, for
treatment for alleged alcoholic insanity
After his admission his sister, Mrs. Irene B.
Walker. instituted proceedings for his release,
alleging that he was confined at the hospital
against his will. and yesterday the petition for
a writ OF habeas corpus was heard by Justice
Cox
Walker was brought into court, accom-
panied by the petitioner. Mrs. Irene Walker.
and the keeper in charge of him. Mrs. Gene
We've B. Walker. the patients wife. and sister
Beatrice. mother superior of Providence hos
pital, were also present.
The hospital authorities were represented
by Attorney John Ridout. and fled an answer
TO the charges. reciting that Walker was ad-
mitted to the institution on the date given
with a record of having been violent at times
that he is still suffering from the malady, but
with hopes of ultimate recovery, and express.
ing the belief that Walker does not desire to
leave the hospital The testimony of Drs.
Bayne. Godding. and n. s. Lincoln was
given, and they agreed upon the point that
walker Is reaiiy alHicteu with mild type OF
insanity. DR.. Bayne stated that the patient
had been several times treated at' the Laurel,
Nd. Kelley Institute. He found him in an
extremely critical condition and suffering
from delusions. He is occasionally inclined
to violence. DIR. Godding believes that the
affiiction is but temporary. while DR.. Lin
coin, who called to see Walters by special re-
quest. found him excitable. forgetful. and un-
able to reason or express himself correctly.
Attorney Simmons, who represented the pc
titioner, argued that Walker was forcibly de-
tanned, without proper medicine or treatment,
and began the reading of a series Of allega-
tions, but the Judge declined to hear anything
but medical testimony. and remanded Walker
to the hospital until he can be examined to
determine his sanity.
Mr.. Ridout filed the petition Of Walkers
wife for appointment Of a trustee for his es-
tate, upon the ground that he is of unsound
mind. Mrs. Walker alleges that much Of his
property has been derived from her separate
estate, and she desires that a custodian Of his
person be appointed. Mrs. Walker says the
present suit was brought by Walkers sisterin
order to obtain control of his effects.

FENcIBLES' LAST DRILL.
They Are Ready to Start To- night for Little
Rock-Thc Emmett Guard MAY Not Go,

They Are Ready to Start I Tonight Tor Little
Rock-Thc Emmct Guard May Not Go.
And now for Little Rock! At fifteen min
utes before II o'clock tonight the members OF
the National Fencibles champion drill team
will leave Washington for the Arkansas capi-
tai to compete in the interstate company drill
on July 4.
For two hours last night the team drilled at
Convention hall. This WIS their last practice,
and right hard did they work. In a number
of instances the regulation uniform was dis
carded and the boys marched in their shirt
sleeves, without caps or gloves. small num-
Der OF mothers, sisters, and lady friends were
present and thoroughly enjoyed the excellent
exhibition. When the drill was about half
over quite little excitement was created by
some one crying fire. A break was made for
the street. but when the door was reached it
was found that the janitor had simply lit q
kerosene lamp and the reflection resembled
flames.
A few moments after o'clock Capt. Domer
gave the comu aud to fall in. the roll was
called, and then the work began. The COM
pany was first put through the various foot
movements. and then the manual OF arms.
first by the numbers and then without. For
quite time longer they drilled, and then
Capt. Domer marched them to the north end
of the hall, where the command "Halt' was
given. Here. out of the hearing OF specta-
tors, the commander gave short talk on the
competitive drill He urged them to remem-
Der the city they represented and bring back
the trophy to Washington which they have
won for the past three years.
From present appearances the Emmett
Guard may not go to Little Rock. The COM
pany is short about 900 Of the money neces-
sary to defray expenses, and unless their
friends offer some assistance in the next
twenty-four hours the trip may be abandoned.
The boys have hope that such will not be
the case, and are doing everything possible to
make up the balance. Capt Walsh has not
gwen up all hope, and says II tho money
could be borrowed it would be paid back, as
the company would probably win enough in
prizes to refund.
