The communication transmitted by the
Commissioners to Miss Mary Webster,
notifying her to replace a defective sewer
at 1306 I street, has been returned by Miss
Webster, through the Washington Loan
and Trust Company, with the reply that
the complaint against the sewer was
doubtless caused by water flowing into ad
joining premises from a spring at that
point. The inspector of plumbing, how
ever, says there is good ground for the
belief that the sewer is defective.

alleged to have used considerable profane
language. She, however, denied the latter
part of the accusation.
In default of payment of the fine the pris
oner was sent to the workhouse for thirty

Chenapeake Beach.
An exemplification of what careful and
enterprising management will accomplish
is found in Chesapeake Beach, which is so
rapidly growing in public estimation as a
favorite outing place for Washingtonians.
The high character of the patronage is a
proof of this fact. Easily reached on rapid
trains which give an entertaining glimpse
of a historic part of Maryland, one finds
an abundance of amusement at the Jour
ney's end. There are excellent and, more
Important, safe bathing in the waters of
Chesapeake bay, a fine board walk whence
the batheTS and the passing shipping may
be viewed, first-class music by Haley's
Washington Band, and fishing, crabbing
and numerous other means of spending a
few delightful hours. The very best of or
der is kept, and nothing unbecoming is tol
erated for an Instant. Chesapeake Beach
is also becoming popular as a dining resort.
The departmental train which leaves the
Junction at 5 o'clock takes down scores
each day, who find an appetizing dinner in
the commodious cafe at a moderate price.
Additional trains are run Sundays.

A Joint meeting of the democratic com
mittees for Alexandria city and county
was held late yesterday afternoon in the
office of Attorney John M. Johnson, on
South Fairfax street. Mr. James E. Clem
ents of the county was chosen chairman
and Mr. B. F. Penn of the city committee 1
acted as secretary. The object of the 1
meeting was to make arrangements for the
democratic primary for the nomination of
a candidate for the state legislature. After
some discussion it was decided to hold the
primary August A resolution was
adopted directing ail who wished to have
their names entered as candidates to ap
pear before Chairman Oscar Carter of the
city committee at <. r before noon the 2<>th
instant. Messrs. James R. Caton, W. H.
May and J. H. Trimyer, who had an
nounced themselves as candidates, were
present
In reference to the statements that he
was a corporation attorney, which Mr. Ca
ton thought was being used to prejudice
voters against him, that gentleman states
that he is no longer local counsel for the
Washington, Alexandria and Mount Vernon
Railroad Company.
There was a rumor about town last night
that Mr. May had decided to withdraw
from the legislative contest. When asked
about the matter this morning Mr. May
declared that it was incorrect, and said
that he had not authorized any one to
make such a statement.
It is said that efforts are being made to
Induce a prominent citizen of the county to
enter the contest, but that his name will
not be made public until the time limit for
entering the names of candidates.

James Banks, colored, was fined $25 by
Mayor Simpson In the police court this
morning on the charge of assaulting Fair
fax Jackson, also colored. Jackson ap
peared as complainant and showed evi
dences of the assault, which he declared

AUTHORIZED TO REJECT MID.
Opinion of Attorney Dnvall Regard
ing Contract for Repairs.
In response to the request for a legal
opinion on the award to H. I. Gregory on
the contract for repairs of heating appa
ratus in certain school buildings, the fol
lowing opinion has been submitted to the
Commissioners by A. B. Duvall, attorney
for the District:
"It appears that the subject matter of
said contracts consists largely. If not en
tirely, of patented Articles, being castings,
etc.?parts of Smead furnaces. The super
intendent of property recommends that the
contract for said castings be awarded to
H. I. Gregory at '.<& cents per pound, as un
der his proposition to turnish patterns, etc.,
his bid is considered the most advantage
ous to the District.
"It further appears, however, that the
bid is not the lowest bid for repairs to
heating apparatus, the bid of the Caldwell
Furnace Foundry Company being $2.07 per
hundred pounds.
"Mr. Gregory, through his attorney,
claims that he alone can furnish these pat
ented articles, inasmuch as he is the owner
of all the rights lor the 'District of Co
lumbia, in, to and under the patents per
taining to the 'Smead-Ruttan ventilating
system;' that while Smead owned the pat
ents and the right to make assignments of
territory, on November 27, 1888, Smead con
veyed to him, for the sum of $10,000. all his
rights in and for Maryland and the Dis
trict of Columbia, ander the patents, pre
viously owned and controlled by the Rut
tan Manufacturing Company, and certain
of his own patents, and that thereafter, on
March 26, 1801, Smead conveyed to him by
formal assignment all right, title and in
terest in certain patents covering the
Smead-Ruttan heating and ventilating sys
tem, for Maryland and the District of Co
lumbia.
"I have carefully considered the above
mentioned brief and agree generally with
the conclusions, and particularly with its
sixth proposition, 'that the Caldwell com
pany cannot enter the District of Colum
bia to trade In or furnish any supplies fall
ing within the claims of the patents held
by Gregory for Maryland and the District
of Columbia.' ,
"I am of the opinion that if the District
obtains these patented goods through Mr
Gregory, it can use them without liability
to the claims of others based on the pat
ents, and that ?t cannot safely purchase
said goods from others or use them If so
purchased without liability to Mr. Gregory
in view of the assignment to him.
"I am further of the opinion that under
the circumstances the Commissioners would
be Justified in rejecting the proposal of
the Caldwell Furnace Foundry Company
and awarding tke contract to Mr. Gregory.'
Sunday at Somerset Beach.
The Somerset Beach Company has ar
ranged to repeat tomorrow the entertain
ment of Sunday last, and a building lot is
to be given away. This, together with a ride
of forty-five miles on the river, elegant
bathing, shade and Ave hours at the beach
will doubtless attract a large crowd. Ex
cursionists have ample time to rest and en
Joy the bathing, and the ride is just far
enough to be pleasant and furnish relief
from a Sunday spent In the city, while the
safety of the beach renders it delightful
for children and those who do not care for
the deeper water beyond. The Estelle Ran
daH leaves the wharf at 8:45, returning in
the early evening, and the music at the
pavilion and on the boat will be enjoyed
by all.
