THE REGISTERS OFFICE
Expiration of the Term of the Present In
cumbent, Col. Wright.
Mr.. Dorsey Cluxett Said to Be Slated
for the Place He Held Before
Under Mr.. Cleveland.

On the 26th of August. 1890. President
register of wills of the District. The luties
of the Office were assumed the first Of the
following month. and he still holds the posi-
ticn. The order appointing Col. Wright state
that the appointee was to hold the office
during the pleasure of the President. Such
an appointment is generally regarded to be
one for four years. and as that time has
more than expired it is said that a quiet
but earnestly conducted contest for the
place is taking place among the local de-
mOcracy.
Just who all the would-b registers are
is not definitely known. and Col. Wright
stated to Star reporter tod ny that he had
received not the slightest intimation re-
speeding his successor, or as to when he
might be called upon to reliuquish the office
The man whose name appears to be most
seriously considered in connection with the
Office is Dorsey Clagett. Mr.. Clagett was
register of wills during President Cleve-
lands first term. Despite the President s
so-called declaration not to reappoint for
mer incumbents to the same Office 1t Is
quietly intimated that, as in the case OF
Marshal A. A. Wilson, an exception In Mr.
Clagetts case may be expected. 1t is said
quietly. as 1t has been earnestly. conducted
and that while little active work has been
done behalf of other candidates, his
friends have been earnestly at work for
months Mr.. Clagett and Marshal Wilson
are the greatest Of friends and 1t is said
that the same influence which secured Mr.
Wilson'S reappointment Is being exerted on
behalf of MIR. Clagett
There are said to be any number of the
members Of the dominant party who would
be pleased to sign themselves register OF
wills. Just who they are-that is. who
have formally applied for appointment, II
Is difficult to ascertain. because of the very
quiet manner in which the contest for the
place is being conducted

INSPECTION OF LUMBER
The Laws Governing It Are Declared
Obsolete.
Judge Kimbnll Says the Business
Their Further Observance.

Judge Kimball rendered very important
decision this afternoon in the Police Court.
completely overthrowing the law now in
existence governing the inspection by Dis
trict authorities Of lumber sold in the Dis
trict. The decision was rendered in the case
of Wimsatt & johnson, wholesale lumber
dealers. which was brought more for the
sake Of determining the law in the matter
than for any other purpose. 1t resulted in
the acquittal of MIR. Wimsatt, who appeared
to represent the company. He was de-
Tended by Mr.. Joseph Shillington, and Mr..
Pugh appeared on behalf of the District.
The law which provides for the inspec-
ton OF lumber was passed in 1865. at q
time when there was not a single wholesale
lumber dealer IN town.
There are five inspectors, four for Wash
tnston and one for Georgetown, but since
the law was passed the business has grown
to such dimensions that this number Is en-
tirely Inadequate to do the work that is
called for and most OF the large dealers
have their own experts and measurers.
In the case that was heard today Mr..
Wtmsatt admitted that lumber had been
sold from his companys wharf without
having been measured by the District in
spectOr. In disposing of the Case Judge
kimball made quite lengthy decision. to
the effect that the lumber business Of the
city had entirely outgrown the law and
that 1t was a physical impOssibility for Ave
inspectors to do the work for the whole
District. To require g. strict observance
necessary hardship upon the lumber inter-
ests Of this city. He therefore ordered the
acquittal Of the defendant in this test
case. 81.

DISTRICT GOVERNMENT.
Condition Of the Water Fund.


A short tire ago the Commissioners ad
dressed a letter to Treasurer Morgan. re-
questing him to furnish them with state
nent Of the balance TO the credit of the
water fund Of the District June 30. 1894
The District appropriation act approved
July Ia, 1894 provides that not exceeding
SODepD of the surplus general revenues re
naming on the LIST day Of July, 1884, shall
be transferred to the water fund. TO be APP
piled in payment Of the principal Of the debt
Incurred for increasing the water supply os
provided in the act Of July u.s. 1892.
The first controller. in his report to Treas
Urer Morgan, stated that while the exact
amount of the surplus revenue has not been
| ascertained, the records OF this department
will show that there were Sbp.Uo and more
surplus general revenue on hand July 1,
1884. These papers were forwarded to Au
ditor Petty, at the District building. who
submitted the following report 10 the Conn
missioners yesterday:
After July Il, lss2 provided that the
| debt incurred for increasing the water
supply, otherwise known as the tunnel debt,
| should be paid out OF the revenues Of the
wat = department in annual installments
extending over a period Of twenty-five
years. Up TO and including June 80 1893.
eight Of these installments had been paid
without burdening the taxpayers, ma
terially Weakening the water fund. Under
| these circumstances there should seem to be
no good reason for charging this indebted
ness against the fund derived from general
| taxes. but inasmach as Congress has de-
| terrnined otherwise, and there was on July
1. 1894. a sufficient surplus over and above
the amount required TO meet the obligation
of the fiscal year 1874. 4 have the honor

A COSMOPOLITAN COURT.
Specimen incident of the Days DOinxs
Before Judge kimbnl

Before Judge kimbnll.
All sorts and conditions Of men and men
of all nationalities make their appearance
in the Police Court sooner or later. but
this morning there was g case that was
almost unique in this respect. 1t showed
how many different kinds of people 1t takes
to make up an American city.
The defendant, George Niedemansky. was
Pole. and the prosecuting witness. Chas.
Tux, was Chnaman, the officer who made
the arrest was a German. the defendants
witness. named Mursonberg. claimed to be
Scotchman. Mr.. Push. the prosecuting
attorney. speaks Welsh as only a native
can. while Judge Kimball is a true Yankee
and Mr.. n. c. Harper, clerk of the court,
was the only native of the District involved
In the fracas. The lawyer for the defend
ant was "a colored man. District Attorney
Mullowney, whose nationality Is doubtful,
was an interested spectator at the trial.
Charley Tux has laundry on ID street
southwest while Niedemansky occupies a
suite OF apartments upstairs.
The Chinaman had the Pole arrested for
breaking glass In the door OF his laundry
Charley could rot speak English. so he had
an interpreter who gave the name of A.
Wan. MIR. Niedemansky swore that he was
asleep upstairs at the time the glass was
broken and his witness, Munsonberg, testi-
fed on the stand that he was passing by
the laundry Sunday evening and saw the
glass broken by a couple of young Irish
men.
Judge kimball decided that although the
iaundryman's story was Al. it wouldn't
wash. ard he took the starch out of the
prosecution by Diminishing the case.

DEPUTY SMITHS TRIP.
He Went to the Camp of the Bill
Cook Gang.


FORT SMITH, Ark, September 10
United States Deputy Marshal w. C. Smith
has just returned from a trip that few
men can make and get back alive. He has
just come back from the rendezvous of the
Bill Cook-Dalton gang. which was organized
by the union of the Bill Cook gang and the
remnants of Bill Dalton's old gang. Smith
went there alone. trying to induce Bill
Cook, who formerly worked as a member
of Smiths posse. to abandon his life of out
lawry.
Cook assured him. however. that he pro-
posed to go ahead in his career, as IT was
now to late to turn back. There was thir-
teen men in the gang. and they are now as
strong as Bill DaltOn's old band ever was
Deputy Marshal Smith, who in the past
has the reputation of being one of the
bravest men In the service of the United
States marshals here, found the where
abouts of the band in rather peculiar
manner. He learned that one of the band
had sweetheart at Sapulpa, /. T.; and
ten days ago Smith went there to see her
After considerable persuasion he convinced
her that he was alone and prevailed upon
her TO pilot him to the camp of the bandits
