and read a letter which Mr.. Uhler had re-
ceived from the building inspector notifying
him of the suspension of Contractor Cabell
and directing him to proceed with the COM
pletion of the building. This, he said. his
client was willing to do, provided some sat
isfactory arrangements were made concern
ing the money now held up and that which
may hereafter be- due. 1t was his belief
that the bondsmen should have this money
with which to complete the building. The
bondsmen were not liable, he thought, for
the debts Of the contractor and should not
be made to satisfy them.
Commissioner Truesdell, in reply to this
statement, said that from such a construc-
tion of the contract,all defaulting contrac-
tor need do when he found himself involved
and unable to pay his debts and complete
the building was to quit and allow the
hondsmen to finish 1t, and thereby cheat the
laborers and material men. The Comnis
sioners did not see 1t that way. The con-
tract provided differently. He read a Sec
ticn Of the contract which was in effect
that the bondsmen should see to 1t that the
building was completed In satisfactory
manner, and then read another section
which gave the Commissioners authority to
withhold any moneys due until all outstand-
ing bills had been satisfied.
After some desultory talk over the rela-
tions of bondsman to contractor, the Com
missioners indicated that they would hold
the bondsmen strictly to the contract
Then came the material men. who present
ed claims aggregating nearly 5000. They
we're represented by Attorney Wilson, who
claimed that all of them had been diligent,
had supplied the material which was now in
the building. They certainly should have
precedence over the bondsmen. The Com
n.Ssioners heard the case and then said
they would settle it this afternoon.
There is nc doubt as to their action. They
will direct the auditor to satisfy the claims,
and then direct the bondsmen to proceed at
once with the completion of the building.
After the hearing had been completed Au-
ditOr Petty stated that several other school
buildings were in financial trouble. He re-

many years was connected In various WAYS

probfty and square dealing. Manager Hugh
Herman said Of him today: There are all

hoped that it will be completed at an early

The necessity for increased accommoda-

years 1891 to 1895, inclusive, show 36 ad-
missions of officers, with a total of 1.265
sick days: other admissions, sailors and

Inc situation of the hospital is excellent

fresh air. The elevation above the navy

make very great change perceptible in
the condition of malarial patients trans

to put stop to an attack of malarial fever,

accommodations should be provided, so
tat the whole of the two principal floors
could be allotted to patients, the lower or
main floor and the second floor to the en-

should be lodged in an annex which could
be easily built within the present grounds
and in connection with the hospital proper
and an appropriation with this object in
view should be submitted at an early date.

LONG LIST OF RoBBERIEs.
Burglars and Sneak Thieves Are
Active In This City.

Bicycle thieves are reaping a harvest just
nov, for ten wheels have been reported
stolen this week, and these thefts show
that wheels are not safe anywhere, not
even in back yards. In addition to the
numerous thefts of wheels reported, three
attempts at burglary were made last night
or this morning. At the meat house of
Nelson, Morris & Company, on street
near the Center Market, burglars effected
an entrance by smashing window. This
was some time before midnight. The casn
drawer was tampered with, hut the bur-
glars were not rewarded FOR their trouble,
for there was money in the drawer.
At Everetts jewelry store, No. 1925 F
street northwest, the burglar alarm sound
ed after O'Clock this morning. and the
burglars departed without taking anything.
Detectives Heian and Rhodes, who inveSti-
gated the case, are Of the opinion that the
attempt was made by inexperienced per-
sonS who were concealed in the cellar
when the store was closed last evening, for
there was no indication Of any breaking
having been done, the burglars having gone
out the rear basement door by drawing
the staple from the inside. The burglars
had a good opportunity for a big haul of
money, for they had made feeble eff
fort to get the safe open. A s.-.1.sar effor.
was made at the Godfrey steam laundry,
where an entrance through a rear window
from the laundry, but bottle of whisky
was taken from the plumbers shop in the
basement.
In addition to the stolen wheels mention
