AN OPINION OF ATTORNEY RIDDLE. It will be remembered that the District Com- missioners made a contract with Mr. Draney for the collection and removal of the garbage and night soil, the same having been competed for by bidders in the usual way. Soon after Mr. Draney entered upon his work he found a com- petitor in Mr. Francis Carter, the former con- tractor for such work, who proceeded as before in using his machinery, and doing the work twenty-five per cent cheaper than the price charged by the authorized contractor. Mr. Dra- hey protested against this, and asked protection from the Commissioners against outside parties | interfering with his work, he being the only au- | thorized agent for the District. The orders left | at the health office for the cleaning out of | privies were, as a matter of course, all turned | over to M from the th ¢ with the properly authorized agent of the | District. The case went to the higher court, and the decision was made that there cculd be ne monopoly in this business of removal of night | Soil and garbage, but that it was open to any and all who might desire to embark in it. A COMMUNICATION OF MR. DRANEY, | with a copy of his contract, was referred to Mr. | Riddle recently. In kis communication Mr. | Draney states that he proposes that if he |can have exclusive access to and use of | the health inspectors’ list of full privies, | he will do the necessary work of the public | schools and buildings ‘of the District, and | pay $150 rent per annum for a room in the health office in consideration thereof. WHAT MR. RIDDLE SAYS. Mr. Riddle yesterday returned the papers of Mr. Draney, stating that on examination he can | find no provision covering this matter in the contract referred to. So far as that is concerned, the District is liable to pay for this work. He thinks there is undoubted snthonty of law to make a contract with Draney, and he cites the fact that in January, 1880, the District prose- cuted Francis Carter for a violation of a pro- vision found in Webb’s Digest which called in question the 14th section of the Board of Health ordinances, for unlawfully dojng the class of work covered by Draney on a similar contract. Carter was arrested, and on habeas corpus the Criminal Court, Judge James, discharged him, holding, in substance, that the provision in Webb's Digest had been set aside, and that the 14th section of the health ordinances was not law. The act of Congress of April 24, 1830, affirming and making these ordinances law, omits among others this 14th section; so that, in effect, any one may engage in this business lawfully. The 13th section, which is law, requires the privies complained of to be cleaned by the person author- ized for said , Which authorizes, as Mr. Riddle thinks, a contract with or appoint- ment of some person to do this work; yet so far as the law is concerned, he is left to compete for these jobs with all others who may engage in a like service. On one of the questions raised, the right of exclusive access to the list of rull | olan Mr. Riddle says: ‘Of course there would great advantage in his having sole use of the inspectors lists. Can the Commissioners give him this? Ought they to do it under all the circumstances? I do not regard these reports as anything but files. They are not records within the provision of the act of February 6, 1879, as I think. They show the temporary con- dition of real estate for police purposes purely; are made and filed by the District goyernment for its own use; and I see no good reason, why like all the files and papers of the District, th may not be within its control. I do not reac! this conclusion with quite the clearness and sat- isfaction that one wishes to feel in dealing with questions ofadministrative law, and perhaps this should not be lost sight of in determining the expediency of making this arrangement, which is not submitted to me. I may be pardoned for saying that to do so involves a rescission of an existing order, and would very likely provoke unpleasant clamor and criticism—possibly liti- gation. Of all this your board is to consider and decide. I may further add that while Draney sustains a peculiar official relation to the matter in hand, and seems to have superior claims, I should hesitate to make access to the i} of all this you will decide.” ——_—»___ Guiteau’s Mail. A DANVILLE SUGGESTION. A postal card from Danville, Va., to Guiteau reads as follows: *-Cant you get a crack at the President of B. ©. R. R. for the way he acted in regard to the Va. M. R. R. If you will haul him over the coals we will send you a bottle of St. Jacob's oa DOGGEREL FROM BALTIMORE. Another postal card, marked Baltimore, says: “Get thee gone Charley get thee gone Until thou canst no longer run Insure your life as you go alon; ‘To keep thy eareas from han; Eight feet lamp posts to pawn And if you see one who will mourn U may bet your life old Charleys gone.” c x Vennor on the Mosquito. HE PROMISES RAIN AND COOL WEATHER ‘AFTER THE TWENTIETH. To the Editor of THe EvENING Star: Yes, let us talk about “the mosquito”—not “the weather,” for this latter is puzzling me somewhat this summer. The mosquito I under- stand thoroughly, in all save foure him out of my bed at night, having had fifteen years’ experience of ‘the brute” in the unbroken wil- derness in Canada. oe however, I could manage him completely by a proper arrange- ment of rotton-wood and fungus smudge fires, both outside of and inside of my tent, and by an ingenious system of net-work. I have thus slept soundly on the ‘ins of many @ drear waste of swamp-land, and have been soothed to sleep by the musical fanning-mill-like hum of bloodthirsty myriads. Here, situated as I am, I cannot very well work my smudge fire, and the mosquito is having his revenge. He knows well that he has a Kanuck in hand, and is going for him right lively. I must confess that your ‘animal’ bites with more ferocity than its Cana- ian cousin, and perhaps with more poisonous effect. It evidently likes hot weather; I don’t. In Canada during and hot summers, such as the present, we are not much troubled by the mosquito, but in its place have the dreaded “black fly” and ‘‘deer fly,” both of which revel in extreme heat. Except near our mountain and large orchards at Montreal, we seldom hear of a city mosquito; but—as, of course, in this world we are born totrouble—our house-flies are both numerous and ticklish, and cause some people to “swear ‘orrid.” It is pleasing to have to add that the weather after the 20th of this month is likely to be most unfavorable for the mosquito, owing to cool, wet and fall-like evenings and nights. Conse- quently, we should not, perhaps, \dge the wr creature its short-lived, but by no means innocent, amusement. This communication, as you will at once per- ceive, is rather mosquito-wise than otherwise, and is anything but weather-wise. Yours truly, Henry G. Venvor.

To the Editor of Tur Evexrxe Srar: The hideous noises at Gales’ woods, for which a complaint was made, do not altogether refer tothe noises made within the gates, but the general disturbance ismade py pete from the grounds and the crowd inthe vicinity of the gate. Mr. Koch and Mr. Fleetwood do not seem to understand the matter very well, and I think neither of them are responsible for the noises which accompany almost every picnic.

Also that the work of lay- ing the compressed asphalt block payement on 31st street, between N and P streets. and on N, between 28th and Sist street northwest, be siven to P. Maloney. CONDEMNATIONS BY THE BUILDING INSPECTOR. Yesterday afternoon Inspector Entwisle con- demned the rear wall of house No. 1237 Pennsylvania avenue, owned by Joseph Travers, and frame house No. 1826 T street northwest, owned by Mrs. J.C. Fay, and ordered the taking down of both within thirty days. S. Munroe has been ordered to reduce the size of the out- buildings at No. 219 7th street to conform to the building regulations. THE FIRE COMMISSIONERS met last night; present Messrs. Collins, Bacon and Hume. The report of the chief engineer was submitted, showing that during the month of August there were thirteen alarms for fires, involving an alleged loss of #2,450, with an in- surance of #850. During the month four new horses had been purchased, and four condemned ones exchanged for two good ones. On the25th of August Private Tyser resigned, and James F. Black was appointed in his stead and assigned to duty with truck B. Superintendent Miles, of the fire alarm telegraph, in his report says that four new talking circuits have been erected and the system so arranged that each company is on an independent circuit. This has been accom- plished by a switch of hisown design. A leave of absence for fifteen days from the 15th of Sep- tember, was granted Superintendent Miles, and ten days from the 12th inst., to attend the fire chiefs’ convention (in Richmond next week) granted Chief Cronin. VITAL STATISTICS.

Of the decedents 29 were white males, 25 white females, 15 colored males, and_ 24 colored females, making an annual death rate of 23.4 per 1,000 for the white population and 33.8 for the colored. Of the deaths 68 occurred in Wash- ington, 9 in Georgetown, 7 in the county, and 9 in the hospitals. ——— The Coming National Fair. HIPPODROME ATTRACTIONS—RAILROAD ARRANGE- MENTS, ETC. The directors of the Nationa! Fair Associa- tion met last night at their rooms in-the National hotel, nearly all the members being Present. The statement was made that the committee had succeeded in securing for the festivities Fargo & Mitchell's Roman Chariot ee eros with a band of wild Indians, who will be taught to run a hurdle race each day of the fair. It is called ‘‘a race for a bride.” ‘The race will take place over the hurdle track, with horses at full speed, when the squaw will be taken out ot her saddle bya brave. Another attraction will be a chariot race with four horses driven abreast in Roman style—one by a woman, another bya man. A number of appli- cations for space on which to make exhibits were received. The grounds are now being put in first-class order. It was announced that the Baltimore & Ohio railroad had to send passengers from all stations on the road at half fare, and to return all animals from the fair free of charge. They have also agreed to post all bilis and posters of the carnival and fair at allthe stations on the road free ot cost. The Pennsylvania road agree to the same with the exception of posting the bills. The Philadelphia & Wilmington, New Jersey Central, New York & Erie, and the Vir- ginia Midland roads have also made the same offer. ———— DEEDS IN FEE have been recorded as follows: Mattingly, trustee, to Emily Linthicum, sub 12, sq. 90; 31,500.

A BretaL Hvussanp.—Last night people in all parts ofthe town were awakened about mid- night by screams of murder in a woman’s voice, and every one that heard the cries thought that they came from some one near by. Michael Caton came home at that hour, being the first time he has appeared there for some weeks past. His wife opened the door for him, and hegreeted her with a blow onthe head, cutting a small artery. He then dragged her into the yard by the hair, and kicked and beat her. The screams came from their daughter. Although the par- ties live on Brown street, between Valley, Road, Congress and West streets, the screams were plainly heard at the station house, in the south end of the town, and by Lieut. Swindells in the west end of the town. Caton succeeded in eluding the officers last night, but was arrested this morning by Officer Benton after a long chase from the reservoir into the county. When they arrived at the station house both looked like they had been caught in a shower. THE Coat TRaDE.—Six boats left Cumber- land Tuesday with 585.08 tons of coal for Georgetown.

Harvey & Holden, CORNER 1ITH AND PENNSYLVANIA AVENUR, COVERY. Under date of September 6 Dr. D. Hayes Ag- rant ladies and Rew wrote as follows to Dr. Joseph Parrish, of | Reopen their clegant restaurant for ladies and Burlington, N.J.: “There has been nothing in Sounds, Saddle Ks and Nansemond Rivers. President Garfield's case demanding any extra- ordinary skill for its management, and, as far as I am capable of judging, everything has been done from the day the wound was received until the present moment which was dictated by sound surgery.” In connection with the fact the doctors in attendance upon the President have been severely criticised, Dr. Agnew says: “I have, my dear doctor, for a lonz time not allowed myself to be disturbed by adverse criti- cism, not from a spirit of dogmatism nor from a feeling of infallibility—I know too Iittle to be dogmatic, and that little too imperfectly to claim infallibility—but becanse I have made it a rule to learn all I can in the line of my study and then to apply the acquired knowledze con- scientiously. There never has been a time, from the day on which the President was shot, that I have been very sanguine of his recovery, though I most sincerely pray that he may be restored in health to his family and to his official place in the nation.” THE PRESIDENT AND MRS. GARFIELD. Numerous offers of the use of carriages have been made to Mrs. Garfield since she has been at | Long Branch, but until last evening she has not felt at liberty to leave her husband. Last eyen- ing she drove out in company with Attorney General and Mrs. MacVeagh and Mrs. A. A. Rockwell. She looks quite well, and is appar- ently calm and as content as is possible to be with the condition of her husband. During the day the President partook of some squirrel broth and the usual quantity of milk porridge.

A dispatch from Long Branch last night says it was ascertained authoritatively that Drs. Rey- burn, Barnes and Woodward had, immediately after the issuance of last evening's bulletin, with- drawn from the corps of attending surgeons. Previous to leaving Washington, after it had been determined to remove President Garfield to Long Branch, it appears that the President asked his wife if all the attending surgeons were going Mrs. Garfield replied that she presumed were. The President then expressed an opinion, the effect of which was that he did not see why that was necessary. Further discussion onthe subject brought out the President's wishes, and the withdrawal of the three gentlemen named is the result. Dr. Bliss says that there was no cause for the withdrawal or retirement of the surgeons beyond the fact that it was the desire or whim of a very sick man, and as the Pres- ident had entertained the idea that a fewer num- of physicians could manaze his case as well asthe number heretofore engaged upon it, it was desired by Mrs. Garfield that his wishes be complied with. The doctor stated further that the best feeling prevailed among the entire corps of surgeons, and that the retirement o!

After the wish of the President was made known to one of the attending surgeons in Washington Garfield a consultation took place, re- in. its reference to Dr. Agnew, with a view to obtaining his opinion as to the best mode of procedure.
