Enforcing the Law.

The question of obstructing side
walks was again in the Police Court this
morning. A King street merchant was
before the court for allowing five barrels
of oil to remain out over night The
merchant stated that if he had TO remove
ahe barrels every night he would have to
stop handling oil, as be was without an
adjacent yard and had no room within his
store. The Court held that the side
walks and streets were. the property OF
the public and that the public was en-
titled to a free and unobstructed use of
every part of the same. Hence the side
walks and streets must be kept clear
except, OF course, that merchants would
be allowed use of the same for purposes
of loading and unloading merchandise.
For this purpose a reasonable OBJ
,structiOn for reasonable time will be
allowed. Several cases of this ma
-xufe have been heard recently aud
each had been decided on its merits.
Complaint had been subsequently made
that when a reasonable obstruction for
purposes of displaying goods had been
allowed the merchants III some instances
had oyerreached the reasonable mark
and occupied nearly all of the sidewalk,
so Yesterday Mayor Patf, City Attorney
Boothe and Justice Cation held con-
ference and went over the matter
thoroughly. The law as set forth in the
decision this morning is perfectly clear
and it was decided TO enforce it strictly.
The efforts OF the authorities to enforce
the law referred to above are producing
more satisfactory conditions, and sew.
eral places in the city heretofore blocked
with goods, furniture, boxes, &c, are
now devoid of the same.

To Extend the Sewer.

Mr.. Burke last night introduced a
resolution in the Board of Alderman d.
recting the Corporation Attorney to draw
an ordinance providing for an extension
OF the Royal street sewer from Franklin
to Church street, a distance Of three
SQUARES. The resolution was referred to
the committee on streets. AT present
the sewage of a large portion of the city
il discharged at Royal and Franklin
streets and the efiluvium from the same
in warm weather has been nuisance and
a menace to health for long time.
About nine years ago the Mayor called
the attention of Council to the fact that
while COnncil was passing laws impos-
aug fines upon people for having NUS
ances on their premises the city was
maintaining = wholesale nuisance at the
point described. Council at that time
appropriated $40 for the purpose of con
strueting an open trough a few yards far
Their south, which in no way lessened the
nuisance. By the plan proposed by MI
Burke the sewer will extend to poin
where the flowing and ebbing Of the tide
will carry off the drainage.

The Fishery.

There is some anxiety Manifested as
TO the outcome of the present fishing
season. There was a comparatively
good run o shad and herring about a
week ago, but receipts have fallen on
and prices are stiff for herring, while
shad are advancing. The change IN
the weather has proven setback TO the
seinehsulers. There is, however, opn-
mism d splayed by few engaged IN
fishing operations who believe conditions
will soon improve, aud that az average
number of fish will be caught eventually.
The Alexandria gillers are catching but
few shad, although the local seinehaulers
continue to land many perch aud othel
pan fish.

The Late Dual Tragedy.

Baron MAYOR des Planches, the
Italian Ambassador, has asked the State
Department to ascertain the circum-
stances of the death of Joseph Leonto,
a. Italian workman, one OF the victims
of recent double tragedy at Lorton,
Fairfax county. Immediately upon the
receipt Monday by the State Depart
ment of the note of The Ambassador As
sistant Secretary of State Adee called
upon Governor Montague, OF Virginia,
for report in the case, giving him a
cony of the letter received from Ambas-
sador des Planches. While it is yet too
early to say Just how serious this affair
may prove to be aud what attitude will
be assumed by the Italian government,
the case is regarded seriously by the
State Department aud by the members
of the Italian Embassy here. Baron
des Planchcs reports to the State De
partment that he personally came to
this city last Saturday for the purpose of
making inquiries into the manner OF
Leonto's death. Unable to get the
facts here, he detailed one of the secre-
tsries of the Italian Embassy to 60 to
Lorton and make careful investigation.
The report of this attache has convinced
Senior des Planches that LeoDto met his
death as a result of "mob violence" and
that the report to the effect that be
killed himself when closely pressed by
deputy sheriff and possee was false.
According to the Italian Ambassador
Leontos wounds were Of such charac-
Ter that he could not possibly have in-
hicted them upon himself, one bullet
wound being through his right, or PTS
tol. hand. The officials of the State De
partment are rather at a loss what to do
in the matter, even should Governor
Montague report that the man was Killed
by the people of I4ortOn, as alleged. by
Senior DIES Planches.
