THE RAIN INTERPRETERS,
National Guard Organize tiona Unable
to Meet at Ordway.


Because of the rain storm none of the
organizations of the National Guard which
were to have gone to Ordway rifle range
last evening left the armory. There was
good attendance Of men at the armory,
however, and all the company command
ers were on hand. After conference by
the officers it was decided that, as one Of
the battalions had been sent back to WASH
ington last week because Of the rain, 1t
was useless to make the trip. The organ
izations ordered out were the Signal Corps.
Lieutenant F. Carroll Mattingly; Engineer
Corps. Lieutenant Roy B. Hayes; Ambu-
lance Corps, Lieutenant w. D. Fales. and
Battery A, Light Artillery, Lieutenant
James F. Waters.
The inspection of the I'd Battalion was
conducted last evening by Major Charles F.
Ourand, inspector general of the militia,
assisted by Captain Alfred P. Robbins, the
inspection having been postponed from
Wednesday last. The inspection took place
in the drill hall at the National Guard
armory, and only a small representation OF
the battalion turned out. Companies A
and B. under Captains e. c. Edwards and
D. v. Chisholm. had full ranks. while m
ed by Captain c. 8. Domer, few enlisted
men answered to their names.
No date has yet been set for the inspec-
ton and muster of the separate organ
izations scheduled for the camp at Ordway
today, but they will probably take place in
the drill hall on the same evening that the
brigade band and corps Of field music are
inspected by Major Ourand. The LIST Sepa-
rate Battalion (colored troops) Is under or
ders to go to Camp Ordway tonight for
rifle practice, inspection and muster to-
morrow.

ALLEGED MENACE.
Opinion Concerning the Condition OF
Il Retaining Wall.

Mr.. ]. Barton Miller, as attorney for Mr..
A Lee Lowe, recently complained to the
District Commissioners of the alleged dam
gerous condition of the retaining wall on
the Chesapeake and Ohio canal, on the
north side of lot 30, in square 1900. The
complaint was referred to the attorney for
the District, and his assistant Mr.. Clarence
A Brandenburg, has rendered an opinion
in which he states he has examined the
charter of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal
Company, and finds it does not contain any
provision in regard to the erection or MAIN
tenance of wall or fence.
Mr. Brandenburg says that if the cavng
in of which complaint is made has pro-
duced a dangerous hole, and if the same
exists upon the property of the canal COM
pany 1t is a nuisance dangerous to life and
limb, and the company can be required to
abate the same after five days notice, as
pointed out in the act.
