Considerable excitement was caused
at River View on Tuesday night by the
6isorderly conduct of a number OF soldiers
from Forts Washington and Hunt who
visited the resort. Twenty-Five of them
are now under arrest al The fort and 1t
is possible that some will be court
maTtialed.
Tuesday WAS pay day at Forts Hunt
and Washington and The men visited
several little shantits hidden away In
the woods on the outskirts OF Fort
Washington and, ii is said, drank freely.
Later seventy.6ve or more OF the soldiers
went to River View. They had been al
the resort but short time when several
of them became involved 10 an alter
cation. Blows we're struck and g. few
minutes lst.r free-for-sll fight ensued,
in which several civilians participated.
The management OF the resort tele-
phoaed Fort Washington OF the trouble
and Capt Macon, in command Of con-
pany OF men, responded. Meantime
TIE soldiers had transferred the resort
int tedlam. Men, women and children
fed from the park, as the management
was pOwerless to suppress the trouble.
When OOpt. Macon and his men sP.:
peared on the scene the rioters resisted
arrest, W tn The result that Capt. Macon
ordered his men TO take then prisoners
at all hazard. This command met with
ready response. The detail rushed upon
the belligereDt, soldiers, but the rioters
resisted until exhausted. Then they
called on Capt. Macon to let up, and an
order WAS given for his detail to retire.
The rioters, somewhat sobered by the
rough treatment they had received, were
marched back to Fort Washington and
placed under guard.
Captain Macon had one OF his arms
broken during the conflict with the
rioters and many Of the soldiers sus-
tanned cuts and bruises.

CoNrEsTING THE SEWER LAW.

The case of the owner Of six houses
on Queen strset who has failed to con-
meet the same with the public sewer
came up before Justice Oaton In the
Police Court this morning. The delin-
quent was represented by Colonel F. l..
Smith, who made an argument against
the validity OF the present law of the
City Council forbidding under q penalty
any occupier of house to allow other
than rain water to run on a street on
which a public sewer has been con-
slructed. The colonel maintained that
the law was unconstitutional as it wss
discriminating and not general in its
application and imposed an injustice
upon one class of citizens. He read
decisions of the Supreme Court where
similar Issues had been involved and
cited instances from which he concluded
the law should not be enforced. Justice
Ostou reserved his decision which will
be rendered today or tomorrow.
