Suit to Inforce Contract.

James w. Barker today, through Attor-
neys Tallmadge A. and Wilton j. Lambert
filed a bill in equity for specific perform
ance and injunction against the Mutual
Fire Insurance Company of this city and
Samuel c. Wilson and James F. Oyster,
trustees The petition sets forth tnat in
July last Mr.. Barker, being in arrears in
the payment of the interest to the insur-
ance company upon a loan of $1,000 made
by the company to him upon house, Nos.
11US and ITO II street, the company offered
him S14 900 for the property.
This proposition, it is alleged, wa, duly
accepted and the necessary steps ia Ken to
secure an examination of title and transfer,
but subsequently the company, it is further
ALE ged, III violation of its contral t. at
tempted to rescind and withdraw its offer
directing the trustees, Messrs. Wilson and
Oyster, to advertise the security for sale,
a; in case of default, which was according-
ly done, the sale being set for the 18th in

1t is prayed that the court will restrain

ALLEGED SHORT WEIGHT.
Prominent Firm to BE Prosecuted for
Using Inaccurate Scales.

AS the result of an investigation which
he lately conducted, Mr.. w. c. Haskell,
the District sealer of weights ard meas
ties, intends prosecuting one of the largest
concerns in the District for selling goods
Lnderweight In visiting the agencies of
this concern recently. Mr.. Haskell found
that in but Cne of the five places visited
by him were the scales correct In the
other four there was found under the
scales a wad of PAPER, so arranged, it is
said that a loss of half an ounce or more
was suffered by the purchasers.
The proprietor of the business explained
to Mr.. Haskell that the paper wads We're
inserted to counterbalance the weight of
OF paper sacks in which the goods sold by
weight were deposited while being weighed,
but it is claimed by Mr.. Haskell that the
paper wads Were much heavier than the
paper sacks and ne also informed The man
that purchasers are entitled 10 the full
weight of the goods sold them and not less
that of the paper sacks or otner material
in which the goods ar weighed.
AS the paper wads Were placed under
that half of the scales on which the goods
We're placed, it appeared to Mr.. Haskell. as
he explained. that when the goods were
placed in wrappers the purchaser suffered
double loss in weight Not leeming the
explanation offered satisfactory one. he
has decided to bring the matter to the at
tention of the Police Court, that the court
may decide the question.

DIR. boss TESTIFIES.
Assistant Surgeon First Infantry, Be-
fore War COmmissiOn.


fore War Commission.
ANNISTON, Ala, October 25.-Dr R. D.
Boss, assistant surgeon in the 1st Infantry
was the first witness before the war inves-
tlsatlns commission today. He was with
thls regiment and with the 4th Infantry in
cuba. He arrived at Santiago July 10. He
found the medical supplies short and was
unable to secure any of them for a few
days until he learned how to get them from
the division hospital
There was sufficiency of quinine. but a
shortage of morphine. However, he had
all OF this latter remedy that was absolute
ly necessary.
He was able to secure hospital stores,
such as food deicaces, by "husting' for
them, getting them first from the Red
cross Society and then going to Santiago
for tnem
He had made a requisition on the chief
surgeon of the division for these supplies
nut he had been unable to secure them be-
cause they were not there. However, he
mad no serious illness in the command.
DIT. Conner asked if the government
could not have gotten these supplies to
Santiago as promptly as the Red Cross
and DR.. Boss replied that. while he had
no information, ne thought it could have
done so.
He had left Santiago with the 4th In
fantry and gone to Montauk Point on the
SeEeca. When they left Cuba, he said the
cCnmand was "all broken up" and every
man of the command was sick on the way
north. The doctor himself was sick, and
in the detention hospital at Montauk and
he testified tC the careful conduct of that
institution, saying the supplies were ample
and the attention was all that could have
been desired B..
Other witnesses examined were Lieut..
reed OF the 4th Wisconsin, Lieut.. West of
the Sd Alabama and Lieut.. HALEY of the
I'd Tennessee.

of providing funds for carrying on con-
unuouslyl Or eomRletinsa certain works has
heretofore resulted in materially reducing
cost. He says significantly, that if this
system is restricted TO works fully justified
by the interests OFT commerce. it will prove
an economical onep providing the appropri-
ations are sot made as to avoid delays in
Payments tnsfcenti actors. He points out
that some dMiculty has already been met
in endeavorinE tononyince contractors that
they may ioulq to Congress for full payment
if they push 8heipwork. .
The total amour1t spent for the improve
ment of riveBs ~ancl harbors and incidental
expenses ending sInne 30 last was SIT ,161,-

1900 on the ssanas account is $12 SS3, All.
That is on ACCOUNT of continuous work, and
for projects .Bft covered by continuing con-
tracts estimates amounting to $155S0,3l1.
A radical departure Ia the, usual course
suggested by fhe- chief of engineers is a
matter of estimates for the maintenance
and improvements, of works for which there
are no funds available otherwise. He asks
that Congress authorize him to present spe-
cal estimates for such works as are neces-
Sary to ma yiga ton
