POLLUTIONOF THEPOTOMAC
District Commissioners Requested to Take
Measures to Prevent It.
Aqueduct Authorities Point Out Their
Inability to Do SO-SOme Inter-
esting Correspondence.

DR.. William Pope Young, secretary of
dhe District of Columbia Game and Fish
Protective Association, recently addressed
a letter to the District Commissioners
Calling their attention to the recent article
in The Evening Star describing how the
Potomac was being polluted by the body
of dead horse in the river at Edwards
Ferry, few miles above Great Falls.
The Commissioners referred DR.. Young's
letter to Colonel Theodore A. Bingham In
charge of the Washington aqueduct who
yesterday replied to it. In the course of
his communication to Dr. Young, Colonel
Bingham wrote:
This office has invariably tried, so far
as lay within it's limited means, to prevent
or cure such occurrences as you speak of
but it has never been possible to extend
this supervision above Seneca dam. which
is about eight miles above Greats Falls
So far as this office knows, there is no
authority. further than perhaps the local
authorities along the banks of the river
charged with keeping pollution out of the
Potomac river. With its limited means it
is absolutely impossible fer this office to
exercise such supervision as would be
necessary, and / doubt if there Is legal
authority for the assumption of such
Supervision.
Undoubtedly, such supervision should
be exercised, and this Office will be glad to
cooperate as far as may be possible
Upon receipt of this letter DIR. Young
sent a copy of IL to the District Commits
sioners, requesting them to refer the mat
ter, so vital to the citizens of the national
capital, to the Maryland authorities. whose
jurisdiction over the Potomac is claimed
to extend to low water mark on the Vir-
glnia shore. II necessary, it was suggest
ed, appeal should be made to Congress

Proceedings I'm Damage Suit Against
Albert and Others.
The trial Of the suitsof Thomas NJ Kelly
against William Stone Albert, Glenn
Brown. David T. Cfssell, John Schneider
and chas. F. Schneider Was brought to an
unexpected close in CIRCUIT Courr No. /,
Judge Cole presiding. rat IL o'clock this
morning. The plaintiff in the case desired
to amend in an important particular. the
original declaration. 1T appeared from the
evidence that there was a4 unused well be-
meath the building, and as this might have
had a bearing on the, case 1t was deemed
advisable to include the fact in the declara-
tion.
This was objected to by counsel for the
defendants, who insisted on the continue
ance of the trial. The plaintiffs attorneys
then had juror withdrawn, and the case
went over to the fall term Of court.
The suit Is one for $4,000 damages. and
grows out OF the collapse of the new build
ing at LOO and 1211 Pennsylvania avenue
northwest during the wind storm of Sep
tamber. 1895. The plaintiff, Mr.. Kelly, was
proprietor OF restaurant, situated next to
the Albert building, which was totally de-
molished by the falling walls of the larger
structure Kelly claims that the collapse
of the Albert building was due to defective
construction.
The case had been on trial for several
days. and much expert testimony was be-
ing taken, when the interruption occurred,
The trial will probably not be resumed un-
til next OctobeE.

In the lawn tennis tournament at VIM

Doherty, holders Of the doubles, beat Ho-

1t was much harder contest than the
score indicates. The American expert, Ho-
bart. was especially brilliant, at times
sending the balls at such pace that the
Dohertys could not handle them But both
Hobart and Nisbet were irregular. MANY
OF their balls went out of court and Into
the net, and the steadiness and accnracv
OF the champions finally won each set.
