GEORGETOWN AFFAIRS
CANDIDATES FOR VACANT PAS
ToRATE UNDER CONSIDERATION.
Clearing Away Debris From Aqueduct
Bridge Pier-Funeral Of John
Ockerhausen-Briefs.

Many candidates for the pastorate Of the
Georgetown Lutheran Church. which was
made vacant recently through the resigna-
ton of the Rev. Stanley Billheimer. are
being considered Rev Luther Waring, a
retired minister of this city who has been
spoken of as a probable candidate, will not
seek the place but has consented to serve
temporarily as pastor until selection is
made by the board of trustees.
Two prominent candidates before the con-
gregation are Rev. Luther Miller of Letters
burg Md, and Rev. Mr.. Pofinberger OF
Gettysburg, Pa Other ministers are known
to be candidates for the place, but their
names could not be learned this morning.
Rev, Mr. Miller was heard by the congre-
cation last Sunday. and will probably be
given a second hearing before the council
reaches a final decision.
A member of the board Of trustees stated
this morning that a meeting would be held
Thursday evening to further consider the
selection of a permanent pastor. He said
all the candidates would be given a fair
hearing by the members of the congrega-
ton, and that great deliberation would be
exercised by each member and the merits
and claims of each aspiring minister would
be most carefully weighed.
Clearing Away the Debris.
The construction work on the piers of
the AQueQuCI WHICH idS Deeu
progress for some years, was recently COM
pleted, and the work of cleaning up the
debris and clearing the roadway of OBJ
structions is now being executed by a large
force Of workmen. The work was seri-
ously impeded by a sudden break in the
cofferdam several months ago, the tenn
porary Enclosure built around Pier No. B.,
to protect the lives of the workmen. Fears
that the work would not be completed be-
fore winter were set at rest, however.
through special efforts of the constructors
in charge. The single track of the Old
Dominion electric railroad has been laid,
and 1t is understood the line will be in
operation by June l. 1905. The work Of re-
moving the cofferdam from Pier No. 5, 1t
is expected. will be soon accomplished.

HIGH PREsSUREsERvIcE.
Necessity of Hoyseholders to Look to
Their Pipes.

The bursting bf water pipes and boilers
in the residences On Capitol HILL owing
to the operation of the high-pressure
service recently Installed, has been quite
frequent of late The Commissioners
today received communication from
E. X. Lundy ~ soS North Carolina ave-
nue. southeast, complaining that last Sun
day night the--water pipes and kitchen
boiler in his reSidepce burst and did con-
siderable DAMAGE. Vile asked that the high
pressure be stopped.
In reporting on this complaint Superin-
tendent w. A. Mcfarland of the water de-
partment advises against complying with
Mr. Lundy's request, and says:
THE water pressure now maintained on
Capitol Hill varies from fifty to fifty-fiye
pounds per square inch at the curb level.
While this pressure Is some thirty pounds
greater than that formerly carried on the
gravity system, IT. is not an excessive pres
sure and Is not more than Is necessary to

Outside Testimony.

The Commissioners also received today a
communication from Mr.. F. f. DuPaul an
employe in the Post Office Department, in
which he makes statement in support Of
Mr.. COvin's denial OF the citizens associa-
ton charges
II desire to say" says Mr.. DuPaul, that
1 have known the Colvn family for several
years and my relations with them for the
past three years in business and social
way have been very intimate.
Il know to a certainty that all their social
relations have been with white people ex-
clusively, and they have always been re-
garded as white by all of their associates.
1t was i great surprise to their friends
when the ill-advised charges to the con-
trary were published
So far as the authorities are considered
their decision announced today apparently
ends the matter. 1t is understood. how
ever. that the citizens association does not
propose to drop the matter.
