Urges Improvement OF The Con-
duit Road.

General Bixby, chief Of engineers of the
army has recommended the macadamiZa-
ton of the Conduit road between Foxhall
road and the Great Falls of the Potomac,
a distance of about twelve miles, and has
submitted an estimate of $4,000 for that
purpose. He says the road is a necessary
feature of the current work of operating
and maintaining the Washington aqueduct,
and should be macadamized as soon as
possible Between 1870-l875 Congress
appropriated $4,000 for that purpose.
With that money about nine miles Of the
road were surfaced. Since then-1875-bu
$4,000 has been specially set aside for
the road, the latest appropriation being
So 900 in 1900.
The small amounts which could be
spared from the regular appropriations.
Gen. Bixby says, have been wholly and
totally inadequate for maintenance alone.
When any considerable amount of repairs
for the road has been attempted, he says,
it has been at the expense Of other parts
of the system requiring repair. Gen. Bixby
now estimates that $40. 900 or $4,000
will be required for completing the work.
for which the item of $4,000 is asked TO
commence.

More than $4,000 fish of all kinds will be
taken from the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal
by the United States Fish Commissioner,
aided by District and Maryland game or
CARNATIONS. within the next two weeks
and dumped into the Potomac river. The
canal will be emptied Of water, as usual
during the winter months, and if the fish
were left there they would die.
Capt. L. G. Harran, superintendent Of the
central station of the fish commission at
Washington, will be in direct charge Of the
work, and will receive assistance from
Mai Sylvester, the District game warden
Sheriff Howard, of this county, and others.
Supt. Nicholson, of the canal company, has
promised to give notice when he expects
to close the canal.
From records Of past years when the
same work was conducted, II is expected
that nearly 10000 fish are in the canal
between Washington and Cumberland, Md.
Most of them are supposed to be between
Harpers Ferry, W. Va, and Seneca. this
county.
Capt Harran has arranged to have three
separate parties, each led by an officer Of
the fish commission, carry on the work.
They will carry seines. and as the fish are
taken out will dump them into barrels.
The fish will then be carried to the nearest
point on the river and set free again. II
is expected that about four days will be
occupied in the work, which will cost the
government about $500
Last year the work was not successful,
for a sudden cold spell came on just before
il was started The canal was frozen for
several days and many Of the fish were
| killed

Murder In The Second Degree.

The jury in the Richard W. Allnutt case,
in which he was charged with killing his
sister. Mrs. Valera W. Veirs, on the 18th
day of last March, at their home in Daw-
sOnville, this county, rendered verdict
at II O'Clock Monday night last of murder in
the second degree, remaining out of court
for five hours considering the evidence.
1t is understood that the first ballot taken
showed eight were for conviction of muir
der in the first degree. three for manslaugh-
ter and one for sustaining the plea of
insanity set up by the defense. The final
verdict was a compromise.
The defense asked for a new trial which
will be considered by a full bench in the
near future.
Two more charges against Allnutt of
assault upon Mrs. Allnutt, his mother, and
Miss Jane Rawlins remain upon the crimi-
nal docket. and States Attorney Bowie f.
Waters states that he will push them to
trial.
Throughout the trial the wife of the
prisoner sat by his side, and he heard the
evidence and the speeches and the verdict
without showing emotion, except once or
twice he broke into tears, first when his
mother came upon the witness stand and
sorrow then seemed to take possession Of
his heart and its throbs shook his whole
stalwart frame.
The trial of the case occupied six days
and was listened to each day by an audi
ence that crowded the court room, many

Why have the Republicans suddenly de-
veloped symptoms of economy this par
ticular year, reducing their estimates after
having regularly increased their expendi-
lures every year for sixteen years The
answer is that the Republican department
heads knew extravagant estimates could
not pass the scrutiny Of the Democratic
House.
Notwithstanding their admission that
they will be able to get along for twenty
one millions less, there has been no marked
complaint from the Republican officials
that they will be stnted or hampered in
their work The Democratic leaders made

expenses Of the government were to be

Decided Against Mayer.

The long -c0ntinued legal fight Of Theo-
dore Albert Mayer to obtain immediate
possession of a parcel Of land in Chevy
Chase, this county, valued at about $780,
900, was before the Supreme Court of the
United States last Friday.
The American Security and Trust Com
pany Of Washington claims the right to
hold the land in trust until Mr.. Mayer
reaches the age Of fOrty-eight years This
right it claims under the will left by Mr..
Mayors father, Theodore j. Mayer who
died in 1907. The son contends that the
land in question did not pass under the
will to the American Security and Trust
Company. because at the time Of his
fathers death the property was subject
to gift to the George Washington Univer-
sity if it abandoned the Van Ness prop
erty for a university site. purchased the
Dean or Oak Lawn" property and erected
a university building on the latter prop
erty, to be known as the Susanna Mayer
Memorial building. lnasmuch as the uni
versity has decided it cannot qualify for
the gift, the son contends that the property
should come TO him at once The Court Of
Appeals Of the District of Columbia de-
cided against Mr. Mayer.
