FILLING LOW LOTS.

Leonard spoke of some low lots which
were ordered filed some months ago,
and some of them have been filed, but q
difference of opinion has arisen on the
filing of Twelfth street, between r and
5. which has been dug out by unknown
parties, without the city's permission. He
presented an opinion by the Corporation
Counsel, to the effect that the city not
only had power to fill in the portion be-
longing TO the street, but should IN equity
do SO.
As the authorities allowed it to be dug
out it would not be just to put the prop
erty owners TO the expense of filling it
again.
Leonard said that if it is not filled up
the city will undoubtedly have some bad
accident TO pay for.
Devine favored the city's filling it, ana
moved that bids be advertised for to fill
the left side of the street. 1t was so or
dered.
He also advocated that the board adj
Vertise for bids for filling the low lots at
Eleventh and S streets, which were or

citizen said that l.. G. Chandler aud
some lady owned the three worst lots.
He and others had filed their own, but
those most able to fill theirs had not done
so.
A discussion ensued as to the powers of
the board to collect for filing them, and
the section of the charter bearing on the
question was read.
The Clerk was ordered to advertise for

A SLIM CHANCE.
Probable That Thomas Crumpton VIII
Answer for His Crime,


The prospects OF executive clemency are
rot encouraging in the case of Thomas
Crumpton, the negro murderer at the Dis
trfct Jail, sentenced to be hanged on the
9TH instant His counsel recently filed a
petition for a Communication Of his sentence
TO Imprisonment for life. The main ground
OF the appeal was that there was an alb
sence of generalization in the homicide. and
that, If the laws of the District graded de-
grees of murder, Crumpton would not have
been convicted of murder in the first de-
gree.
Following the usual course in such cases.
Pardon Clerk Endicott referred the petit
ton to Judge McComas, who tried the case.
and District Attorney Birney, who prose-
cGted 1t, for an expression of their views
on the subject. They have returned the
petition to the department with an adverse
report in the case of each officer. They
regarded the crime as a clear case of muir
DER, without eXtenuating crcums stances and
therefor did not favor any modification of
the sentence of death
The President has established a rule
against the consideration of criminal cases
where the trial judge and the district at
&c rney report adversely. He has Informed
the pardon clerk that it is useless to sub
NIT such cases to him. Therefore Crump-
tons petition will not even reach the Presi-
dent, unless his personal attention is drawn
to the case and he sends for the papers.
1t Is safe to assume, however, that the con-
Yicts friends will see that this is done.

has interested himself in the case NAV be
