Alleged violation of Contract.

In a bill in equity filed for him today by
Attorney Robt. J. Murray. against Charles
Z. Wood Edw. Riley of Alexandria county,
Va, claims that the defendant has failed to
keep contract between them, respecting
lots 81, 80, 213 PA, ;593 and 394, st. Elmo,
Alexandria county, Va. The complainant
states that April 2, 1884, he contracted with
II. A. Miner, the agent of Wood, for the pur-
chase of the lots. and paid $154 on them. He
claims that the payments were to be made
semi-monthly, and that after time Miner
refused to accept further payments, and is
now endeavoring to cause him to forfeit all
he has paid. He therefore prays that the
money paid in by him be returned to him. or
the balance of the money due be allowed to
be paid in by him.

RIVER FRONT LANDS.
An Inquiry as to Title and Value of
Certain Lots.

When last month the Court in General
Term decided the Potomac flats case in
favor of the government, the court was
unable to determine to whom several lots
in certain squares on the river front he
tween 18th and 2Sth streets belonged, al
though 1t was held that they did not belong
to the government. The court, therefore,
directed that the various claimants submit
testimony as to ownership and value of
the lots. That testimony has been in
progress for several days. and it is under
stood that as much as 81 a square foot is
claimed by some Of the claimants. The
government will offer testimony. however,
tending to show, 1t is said, that the land
Is worth less than that. The land in con-
troversy Is reclaimed land, and it is not
improbable that if the government finds the
price allowed to be beyond the sum it be-
lieves right, the land will be allowed to be
taken and held by the claimants.

tied finally and then the sewers laid. He
understood the Commissioners would ask
for 100000 for sewers, but only $50o,oo0
for street extension, and he had learned
that Commissioner Powell felt that the lay
ing of sewers was much more important
than the extension of streets.
Land Taken for Streets.
Mr.. Brown then advised the association to
vigorously oppose any bill which failed to
provide for the payment in full of the lands
to be taken in the extension of streets, and
at once. This matter should, he thought, be
laid before Congress the very day it met.
Il tell you," exclaimed Mr.. Brown. "the
Commissioners can get no bill through If we
object, for it is much easier to kill a bill
than get 1t passed, and we should let the
Commissioners know just what TO expect"
President Somerville said the attorney for
the District had informed the Commission
ers that the present act was defective. The
Commissioners had he had been told, there
fore instructed their attorney to prepare
bill which would compel owners of abutting
property to pay part of the expense of TAX
ing the land required in the extension of the
streets.
H. D. Walbridge thought that the streets
should first be extended, and the land taken
paid for, and the laying of sewers then
might well go on.
Mr. Brown referred to the sewer bill as
a great big scheme, and whatever else might
be said of 1t, that was all there was in it,
Before further criticising it, however, he
proposed waiting until he had chance to
fully examine 1t.
Mr. A. B. Chatfield remarked that the ap-
proval of the street extension plan clouded
braCe ed within It, and owners could really
not sell or even lease their lands until the
matter was finally concluded by the pay
ment for the lands. He suggested that the
