Remy yesterday overhauled the chest for the purpose of sorting the papers and sending them to the respective bureaus to which they belong. The remainder of the articles, consisting of guns, knives, cups, med- icine cases, specimens, &c., will remain in the pos- session of Col.

The only recent change in his office wag the transferring of two officials from one room to the other, and this was done without the slightest reference to facilitating the work. “So far as my office is concerned,” said General Drum, “the new clerks assigned to the pension branch have been doing excellent work, and 1 am more than satisfied. Out of the one hun- Grea and fifty or sixty clerks receiving proba- tonary appointments, only five or six have been found { ipetent, and I have recommended there- appointment of all the others. In fact, the work has progressed in this office far better than I had apy reason to expect, and that fact you cannot state In too strong a light.” WHAT SURGEON GENERAL CRANE SAYS. Surgeon General Crane stated to a Sram reporter to-day that the pension work In his office 1a pro- gressing steadily and rapidly. The large force of Rew clerks appointed last summer were carefully trained, and those found inefMicient were weeded out “He says that he now has a THE GAS-MAIN QUESTION, Order of the District Commissioners Against Unanthorized Tearing Up of Streets—Why It wae Adopted—Aimed Against a Railread Company—What is said Abeut the Matter. The District Commissioners yesterday afternoon passed the following order: “*That the chief of police be instrncted to prevent any and all persons from entering upon any work whereby paxerarnts of the streets and ayenties or tho sidowalka hereof, shall be broken or defi Ithout permission in «riting duly obtained from and issued by the Com- missioners.” What Commissioner Edmonds Says of the Order, ‘A STAR reporter asked Commissioner Eimonds this morning If the order issued by the Commis- sioners yesterday prohibiting the tearing up of the streets had reference to the gascompany. He replied, Ve “No, it was a general order bearing upon the entire subject. -Five compantes—street. car com- panics are authorized by Congress to erect bulld- ings or lity tracts, and they: begin tearing up the streets without Informing the Commisstoners, They thik the law of Congress ts sufficient, and the police suppose that {t fS all right. To put an end to this sort of a thing we issued the order.” “Did you haye any intimation that the gas com- pany Intended to lay the mains whether the Com- mnissioners granted a permit or not?” queried the reporter, “No, we had no such intimation. I heard a ru- mor that they intended to do so, but I discredited It, ‘The immediate cause of the order was the re- port that a railway company intended to begin laying tracks which Congress had authorized, Dut for which no permit had been tasued.” “I can very easily te ” continued Mr. Edmonds, “why this order was thought to have referred to the gas company, Dut they are not the only ones.” “Would they attempt it witheut the permit?” asked the reporter. “They clatm, you know, that the law authoriz- ing the laying of matns 1s suffictent authority for them, and that the Commissioners were merely ‘anted a supervisory power. The to the ‘ommissioners and get the permit, which is a recognition of this power snd entirely formal. ‘These are their rights in the fwemises, they claim, and we have no authority to interfere.” “What is the opinion of the Commissioners?” continued the reporter, “We have not had the time to give the matter consideration as yet,and Iam not prepared to give a legal opinion, but ’In a general way I should say that the rights of the gas company was exhausted when they lald the mains now down, and that they have no right to tear upthe streets when- ever they wish and replace old ptpes with new. They have latd down the mains under the law, and now they want to replace them with new ones, ,,It 18 @ question whether they have such a right.” “When will this question be decided?” asked the reporter. “I don’t know as_to that. The Commisstoners have other matters to attend to, and the applica- tton for a permit of the gas company has not yet been taken up.. If there is any exception taken to this order that will also bring the question up.” What the Secretary of the Ga» Com- pany Says. A Sran reporter this morning called upon Mr. C. B. Bailey, the secretary of tie gas company. Ar. Balley said the patrons of thé company in the densely settled portion of the oity, or rather the larger consumers of gas in the vicinity of Willard’s hotel, complained of the supply. ‘The mains have been down some years, and are inadequate to sup- ply the demands. ‘To replace these old muins with thers of greater capacity, the gas company submitted to the District Commissioners a plan of the streets upon which they destred to place larger mains. ‘This was originally from K street to Pennsyivanla avenue, by way of 18th street. Capt. Greene, of the District engineer department revised the plan and suggested one which woul bring the iain down 14th street to the Avenue and along G street, Anstead of F street, as the com- pany proposed. I’'see by a morning paper that an Srder has. been issued Instruclag Ene poitee ‘to Piareet the streets from being tocn up. I have no idea whether or not it is aimed:at the Weshington Gas company or has referenée to the subject of laying new mains, which has been under consid- eration by the District Commissioners. .1 do know, however, that the Washington Gas com- pany has no idea of laying the matas proposed Without the permtsston of the District authorities. We have always asked permission of the city au- thorities to open streets, and will be governed by them. All there is In the mater ts this: the Washington Gas company, at an expense proba- bly of $80,000, was willing, in the Interest of the consumers of gas, to lay certain mains to Increase & much-needed supply. It 1s a matter of indlf- ference to the company whether the matn Is laid or not, aside from the desire the company has to acceptably serve its customers, ‘The company, I assure you, hag no destre to test the matter in the courts. It’ the Commissioners deny the authority to lay the mains tn accordance with plang revised by one of their own engineer officers, why there the matter rests. ‘The company had uo idea that the quest to lay the mains Would be refused, and if it that 1s an end of it. Our alm was to increase ihe supply of gas in a section of the city which the present main will not acceptably supply. desea As aed ai fink District Government Affairs. POLICR CHANGES. ‘The meeting of the District Commissioners con- tinued until afver six o'clock last evening. The tollowing was adopted 3 “Ordered: That the report of the board con- vened by order of February 18, 1888, to examine and report as to the disability or inefficiency of members of the Metropolitan police force of the District, 1s approved, with the following modifica- Uons, to take effect on tha 15th instant: Sergeant Godwin Plerce 1s reduced to private of class in- stead of being discharged as recommended by said board. This modified action is taken In considera- Ulon of the long and eMicient services of this officer, and his ability for light duty. Privates George Fields, Fred W.

The re- maining recommendations of the board are disap- proved.” MEDICAL APPOINTMENTS. Yesterday the Commissioners appointed Dr. W. P. C.

In closing the notifications to ‘these physicians of thelr appointments, the Commis- sioners state “that, although your appointment is for an indefinite term, they contemplate making ‘an annual tenure of the position.” TREES DAMAGED BY HORSES.

Proceedings in the Star Route Trial To-Day. ‘The cross-examination of John R. Miner was continued when the star route trial was resumed this morning. Theearly part of the day’s exam- ination covered the proceedings of the contractors during the days when they were preparing to g¢t contracts, The witness thought it was probable that he had requested S W. Dorsey to send Rer- deli to Boone’s house for a case of pigeon holes, but he had no distinct recollection of it The wit- ness and Rerdell lived together from about the first of October, 1878, to the first of January, 1879, at 114 C strect northeast. After that witness Went to live at 1330 Corcoran street. Witness did not know whether 8. W. Dorsey had given Kerdell $3,000 to use in stocking the Bismarck and Tongue River route or not. He did not know whether that amount was Included In the settlement with S. W. Dorsey or not. All that 4 W. Dorsey claimed to have advanced was paid to him. ASKED VAILE TO SEE BRADY. ‘The witness sald that Vaile had never made a Propgsition to him, but he had proposed and urged that Valle should help him out. He had asked Valle to see Brady and ask an extension of ‘Ume, because Vaile was In good standing, whereas the witness was broken up and did not have the courage to go and see Brady again. Thé witness first employed Moore in the spring of 1878. Moore was introduced to the witness by Boone, who re- commended him, The witness in 1867 was sent to the third Ohio district as an internal revenue agent, to examine the accounts of the agent of the collector, F, Vandervere. It, was in March, 1878, Be mipdene that he had paid’ $1,800 in Sandusky to gettie - : ‘THE INDICTMENT SPOKEN OF YESTERDAY. ‘The indictment had been pending then about a year and a-half. The witness was asked about having been in Canada and said he had never been in Canada, except to pass over the railroad. He knew Thomas E. Snelbaker. The witness was questioned about the cost of stocking the Bismarck and Tongue River route, but was unable to give figures. He knew that Mr. Williamson had spent a large sum of money on that route. Witness had never looked into the accounts because “life was too short to look into things that had already been paid.” MINER'S BOOKKEEPING.

The witness was asked to explain a letter he wrate to a sub-contractor, in which he told him that “increased speed is very seldom ordered, and never without considerable labor and expense here.” ‘The witness sald that Mr. Hayes, the sub- contractor, had a friend, the postinaster, who cla{mned to have been a schoolmate of Tom Brady, and te be able to get anything he wanted.

Star Route Notes. A very nice point was decided In the star route trial yonertey. afternoon. Objection was made to Mr. Merrick introducing, for the purposes of Cross- examination, passages trom Miner’s testimony be- fore the Congresstonal investigation committée,on the ground that the law prescribed that testimony given before a Congressional committee could not used against the witness in a criminal proceed- Ing. Judge Wyite, in rendering his decision, called attention to thé fact that this law was passed be- fore the law enabling a defendant to go upon the stand. He then ruled that Miner, when he went upon the stand as @ witness, surrendered for the time his privileges as a defendant, and permitted Mr. Merrick to use the testimony in question, ‘MR. MERRICK WILL NOT WITHDRAW. Mr. Merrick, when asked last evening about the Tumors that he would withdraw from the star route case, said he intended to perform his duty to the government at any hazard. His private clients, he sald, complained that he was compelled to ne- glect their business and were becoming very im- portunate; but hedid not intend to leave this Case until it had been prosecuted to a conclusion. He was anxious to reach a conclusion. Havin, put his shoulder to the wheel, however, he woul Temain at his post to the end. —-—_ Another Murder Trial. ‘THE HAMILTON-HILL HOMICIDE.

TALK WITH SENATOR SHERMAN—HE 18 NOT A CAN- DIDATE FOR GOVERNOR. Senator Sherman, of Ohio, was called upon at his residence last night to ascertain his views as to being the republican candidate for governor of Ohio, In answer to the direct question whether he would permit himself to be named as a candi- date, he said: “No; Iam nota candidate, nor do I wish my friends to have my name go before the convention. Tomy mind there is not at present any issue to present to the people of the state. ‘The legislature has practically effected a settle- ment of the temperance question, which will give the people a chance to vote directly upon tt. This issue out of the way, there is now no prominent question to be discussed before the people. Of course I feel gratified because of the suggestion that I should be a candidate. But Isee no neces- sity for It; and, so tar as Iam concerned, I never encouraged it. "There are a number of good men already named as candidates, either of whom will make a good race.” What do you think of Judge Lawrence as a candidate” “Well, Lawrence is more of aman of affairs than a politician. He makes an excellent public oMicer, in Just such a position as he now occu- pies, s hae do you think the democrats will nom!- nate?” “It seems to me that the sentiment is settling toward Judge Geddes. He will make a strong candidate in one sense, and a weak one in another. For instanve, the saloon element, or what 1s called the saloon element, may oppose him, because there isno doubt that he was In the temperance cru- sade. It 1g a question in my mind, though, if Geddes be hominated, if it would be a'wise policy on the part Of the republicans to assail him be- Cause Of this, inasmuch as {t would have the effect of transferring to him, probably, the votes of re- publican pronibitionists. Geddes would no doubt also receive a large vote from the Methodists of Ohio, of which church he is a member.” ee you anticipate an exciting canvass, Sena- “Well,no. As I satd before there will be no issue before the ‘The race will be a close One, and no one can Well foretell the result. The recent municipal elections hardly indicate to what extent there have been changes since the glettion last Ootober. Now’ in my own city of Mansfeld the republicans made gains, also In Cin- ¢innat!, while in Cleveland the democrats seem to have held their own. There was some local dis- Satisfaction which caused this which may not Appear in the state canvass.

A lady living to a neighboring Virginia town has written to the Citizens’ committee, giving the following experience with a police official in this city: AS the subject of reorganizing the police 4g still unfinished, if I am not mistaken, I have thought it proper tolaysome facts before you, Tecently come to my knowledge,*and leave it to you to make such use of them as you see fit. Just about five years ago a lady of this place, 4 friend of mine, sought to give employment to some tramps with whom she had become acquainted in Washington, in connection with benevolent work in which thé Young Men’s Christian Associ- ation took an interest. They proved unworthy, and one of them stole a gold watch and chain from her, and gold it in Washington to a pawn- broker. She offered a reward of for tts recov- ery, through the sheriff of Fairfax county. The next day she heard, through personal friends, that her watch was At the pawn-shon. She went at once to Washington, called’ at the Shop for the Fateh, aud the broker told her could have it by paying $11, the sum he said he had iven the man who pawned it. She refused to pay um anything and went to police headquarters. One of the officers there went with her to see the watch, and told her that it should not cost her anything to getit, but that she had better walt and let him talkto the broker. She went home ‘without the watch, and at once told the sheriff to withdraw the yee afriend, who would not take any reward, had found it. The sheriff wrote next day, enclosing a letter from the police official in this city, telling ulm “the watch was found and that he could have Wit he would send the $50.” She took the letter and went to Washington, saw the chief of police, and requested to see the Police official. When he came she showed him the letter in presence of his chief, and asked him if he wrote it. He owned that he did, but pretended that he had written it before he saw her. She reminded him that he had not known of the offered reward whea he saw her first. He seemed much embar- ragsed, and then sald “the young man who found the watch was clamoring for his reward.” She told bim “the young man who found 11 was then at her house, a ftiend who would not take the reward if she offered 1.” The Major did not seem to exer- cise any control over the officer when she ap) to him; but they sent for the pawn-broker. He demanded $11 or he would not. give up the watch. She told him that rather than pay him any money under the. circumstances she would employ a law- yer and spend the price of the watch In exposing such conduct, With this she left them, but the Star.
