CLEAR TWENTY-NINE DAYS.
Report on the District Water Supply
for November.


According to Capt Gailard the engineer
officer in charge of the Washington aque-
duct. the water served to the residents of
the District was clear twenty mine days of
November and turbid one day At the re-
quest of the District Commissioners the
high service reservoir in Georgetown was
put out of service November II and the
reservoir was emptied. The section form
erly supplied by this reservoir is now sup
piled by the District of Columbia pumping
service.
Capt. Gaillard says the reservoir will be
kept ready for use should any emergency
again require it to be put into service
Last month leak in the joint of the
thirty-inch main at 25th street and Penn
sylvania avenue was repaired. The leak
age was so great that it was necessary to
empty that portion of the main between
18th and 18th streets before repairs could
be made.
The telephone line between the office of
the Washington aqueduct and Great Falls
has been completed at about 63 per cent Of
the original estimate. and there will remain
IA surplus of about $3.50 when all out
standing liabilities have been settled. The
old telephone wires were taken down and
the poles removed. AS a protection against
lightning ground wires were fastened
along every eighth pole, and the instru-
Eients at each station were adjusted to
conform to the change in the line. BY
numerous "transpositions" the inductive
effect of adjacent wires carrying electric
currents has been almost entirely over
come, and since completion the new line
has afforded excellent service.
Work on both types Of proposed bridge
across Rock creek on the hne Of Massachu-
sets avenue extended westward has pro-
gressed far enough to warrant the belief
that the report and plans may be submit
ted to the War Department during the
present month. Estimates for a steel
bridge and a stone bridge have been called
for by Congress.

investigation cf the Silver Heels
Still I'm Progress.

The Treasury Department is not meeting
with much success I'm its investigation of
the case Of the Silver Heels. the vessel
which sailed from New York several weeks
ago under suspicion of being engaged in a
filibustering expedition to Cuba. The ves-
sci arrived at Wilmington, y. c., few
days ago, and, according to ner officers,
has not been anywhere near Cuba. When
she left New York she was laden with coal,
and when she arrived at the southern port
she still carried a cargo of coal. Although
there is a strong suspicion that there WIS
something irregular about her cruise. tho
officers of the department have as yet found
no evidence that she landed an expedition
in Cuba or even that she visited that coun-
try. The investigation is still in progress.

NOT IN LINE OF DUTY.
Pension Claim Refused by Assista II
Secretary Davis.

Mr.. Davis, assistant secretary of the In
lerior, has handed down a large number of
pension decisions, among them being two
Of considerable interest on account Of the
POINTS decided in them. one had Il bearing
On the question as to what may be regard
ed as an injury received in line of duty,
and the other regarding the Importance Of
the report of the medical referee in pension
cases.
The first case was that of the claim of
Anton Karrall, late Company X, 9TH Unit
ed States Artillery. The facts in this case
are that the appellant claimed pension on
account of sunshot wound ol left foot re
ceived July Il, 1894. The records of the
War Department state that the appellant
was discharged September l, 1885, on ac-
count of the injury. The battery captain
states in the certificate Of disability for
discharge that claimant was on a fiat car
cleaning his gun. The muZZle was resting
On his instep and he pulled the trigger to
see if it was all right and the bullet passed
through his foot. And the post surgeon
also stated in his certificate the cause of
the disability is as described in the bat
terry commanders certificate, and the injury
was evidently due to carelessness. Assist
ant Secretary Davis in his decision says
that the claimant has filed no evidence in
rebuttal of the aforesaid record, therefore
the injury in this case WAS manfestly due
to claimants gross carelessness in the use
of his gun, and the disability therefrom is
therefore not pensonable, and his claim is
rejected"
The other case is that of the claim of
Samuel Lashbrook, late Company f, 18th
Indiana Volunteer Cavalry. In this case
Assistant Secretary Davis makes i'm
portant ruling. as follows THAT where the
causes of disability for which additional
pension is claimed are obscure diseases re-
quiring medical knowledge to determine
their character and extent, the opinion of
referee based
suits of examination is generally accepted
as conclusive"
