ICE IN THE POTOMAC RIVER.
Acqueduet Bridge May be Carriea
Away When Thaw Sets In.

Tons Of ice packed and JaInmed II
i the Potomac river for miles above
Acqueduct Bridge in Georgetown
threaten the safety Of that historic
structure, and last night fear was eN-
pressed by old rivermen that su
zen thaw, imminent at this season
of the wear might bring the ice down
stream with such force tnat the
BRIDGES piers would be swept away
The situation, regarded as critical
because of the amount Of ice in packs
ilalready getting in the way OF the
swiftly moving current, its agsEaVat-
cd by the fact that the drainage area
of the Potomac at the present time
contains more snow than for many
years.
The real cause for danger is not a.
present in the vicinity Of the bridgej
it was sai:l yesterday, but is farther
np stream near the Three Sisters Is
lands where the ice has floate- down
and packed itself to great depths,
chen freezing over again. This might
ne released by warner weather, or {
warm rain would play havoc.
The Potomac river drains approNi-
mately 1900 square miles of terri
tory, including some of the Shenan-
doah valley, which gets its water
fror! the Blue Ridge Mountains. The
amount of snow in these sections, an.
especially on the mountains, is So.
De unprecedented.
1t is feareJ therefore, that a break
inp up of the ice would be accom-
usnie. by rise in the river which
might push with it most any obstacle
getting in the way.
Recently there has been much tS
Of new bridge to replace the On
now standing, and the army enc;
neers have reported to Congress that
ithe old bridge is becoming more m
adequate with the succeeding years
REPRESENTATIVE Carlin, Of Virginia,
mas introduced a bill in the House
asking for an appropriation OF 81

bridge, and this measure is now pend

N TO
HOLD HIS SEAT
Court Of Appeals Reverses
Corporation Court of
Alexandria.
END OF A LONG ISSUE,
Lower Court Had Declared Second
Warder Guilty of Acting as Coun-
Gilman While Non-Resident.

The long drawn out fight in the
courts over the seat in City Counci
from the Second Ward occupied by
Councilman Julian Y. Williams was
brought to a conclusion today wher
Judge j. G. Buchanan, of the Su,
preme Court of Appeals, sitting in
Richmond, handed down an opinion
reversing the decision of the Cor
poration Court of this city, which
had found that Mr.. Williams was
not entitled to the seat. A special
dispatch to the Gazette announcing
the decision was received
at noon today. As the term Of Mr..
Williams will expire on September
1st, there will be no further contest
in the matter.
Mr.. Williams, who was elected to
Council four years ago, built a resi-
dence two years ago at Cottage
Park, in Alexandria county. Short
ly after its completion he moved
there with his family and continued
to live there for over year. He,
however, claimed that it was his
summer residence, and that he had
never given up his home in the Sec
and ward of this city, which he still
claimed as his legal residence. Six
members of. the Common Council. in
order to test the question of resi-
dence, flied QuS warranto proceed
ings against Mr.. Williams and the
suit was brought by CO mmon-
wealth's Attorney Samuel G. Brent
ut the relation of the six counciimen
The case came before the Corpora
tion Court and jury found that
Mr.. Williams was not entitled to his
seat. A writ of error was subse-
quently granted by the Supreme
Court and the case was argued be-
fore that tribunal early in January
of this year. Mr.. Williams was rep
resented by Attorney Gardner l.

FLOOD INVITED TO BOSTON.

Roosevelt, Taft and Clark as
Orator.

Washington, March 12.-Congress-
man Hal Flood, of Virginia, has re-
ceived telegram from James NJ.
Curley, formerly member of Con-
press. but since February l Mayor
of Boston, inviting him to make an
address in Boston on March II at
the celebration Of the one hundred
ard thirty-eighth anniversary OF
the evacuation of Boston by the
British. which is one of the most i'm
nortant celebrations in New Eng
land.
The invitation is considered
great honor, as three years age
president Roosevelt made the ad
,lress. two years ago President TAI
was the orator, and last yea
Sneaker Clark received the invita-
| ton.
! The telegram to Congressman
Flood was in part as follows:
"The city of Boston desires yo'
as its guest upon March II, the on
hundred and thirty-eighth anniver
sary of the evacuation of Boston b
the British. we should be yer
grateful if you will deliver shor
address upon the occasion. The eel
emonies are to be especially elabt
rate ir honor of the anniversary
The honor is a fine one, RooseVei
there three years ago, Preslden
Taft two years ago, and Speake
Clark last year"
It is altogether probable tina
Flood will arrange with the Hons
leaders to be absent On that da1
and make the address.

RANCRMEN FAVOR
PLANS FOR BIG
WATER SYSTEM
$4,000 Probably be Raised to
Tap Hannah Greek Line
Enthusiastic Meeting.

Engineer Ed r. Romberg last night
delivered his preliminary report to
the ra.4umen of Fruitvale and Cliff
ton, and discussed the approximate
cost of the proposed mountain wa
ter system.
Mr.. Romberg showed that to tap
the line at a point just north of the
tunnel and bring it to the Clifton
bridge would cost 1880. Laying
the pipe through the Fruitvale sec
ton and. after making a net work of
the whole district. would cost from
$1,000 to $1,000 a mile, or probably
total cost of 100000.
The ranchmen did not have their
financial plans drawn, but it was evil
dent that if the orchardists can get
mountain water for from $40 to $50
each. they will take the matter up at
once.
The water will probably be mea-
sured by a meter system, and the
cost will not be greater than the peo-
pie of this city pay. although the
amount used will probably be con-
siderably less.
Commissioner Carson and Attor-
ney S. NJ. Logan also made brief
talks on the matter to the ranch
