The story of the tragedy had been kept from her up to yesierday, when, it 1s understood, her father imparted to ‘her so much of it as he deemed it proper th: SECRETARY CHANDLER CN THE RECENT DECISION AS TO CapgT ENGINED. — Secretary Chandler stated this morning tha: ‘se should ask for a re- hearing of the cage of Cadet Engineer Harvey G. Leopold vs. the United States, which was recently decided by the Court of Claims in favor of-the claimant. He further stated that the decision in this case, if sustained on a refiearing, while’ it would entitle all of the cadet engineers who have completed the four years at the academy to the $50 extra pay claimed by Leopold, tt would not affect the decision of the department as to the status of the cadet engineers. Secretary Chandler holds that the cadet engineers do not become graduates after completing the four years’ course at the academy; that they hold the same position as the naval cadets and are likewise subject to the final examination after the two years of sea ser- vice. Under this ruling the cadet engineers will be ordered to examination for graduation together with the naval cadets, and all but the ten who, by. the act of Congress wiil be entitled to commis- sions in the navy, will be mustered out of the ser- vice with one year’s pay —— Mat Conrracr Deciston.—The first controller of the Treasury has rendered a decision in the Ree- side appeal case, which involves the right of the United States, after payment 1s made to acon- tractor for a quarters service in carrying mails, to deduct trom compensation due him tor services thereafter performed the price of trips 89 patd for as performed when, in fact, not perior.ned, and not exceeding three'times the 2 prices ior failure to perform said trips occastoned by'fault of the contractor, The controller decid’s that when a contractor for carrying the mails fails to perform a trip in any quarter, in whole or in part, or renders inferlor service, the whole frice of the trip may be deducted from his comyensation for such quarter, unless the contract for service re- quires partial payment.for so much of the trip as hus been performed. fie holds that when an ac- count for the services of a contractor for carryin malls has been finally settled for a quarter an 1 payment has been made to him of the amount found due by the settlement without fraud on his part, and itis subsequently ascertained that he failed to perform trips during such quarter, for which no deduction was made, a deduction cannot be made in the settlement of the account for services of a subsequent quarter of the price of such trips not performed. But in the settlement Of such subsequent account, deductions may be made for failures to perform trips during a previ- ous quarter, when such failures occurred by the fault of the contractor or carrer, and when the subject of such deductions was not previot con- sided and decided. The decision {3 favorable to the appellant, although it only sustains his appeal part. Lieut. Com. White’s Resignation. WHAT THEY SAY AT THE NAVY DFPARTMENT—THE TALK OE A SCANDAL AT NORFOLK. Iieutenant Commander Honry C. White has Tesigned, to take effect June Ist. 1884, and leave of absence has been granted him till that date. He entered the service in 1861 from Con- necticut, and was rated one of the most able sea- men in the navy. He was asked for, when a mid- Shipman, by the late Admiral Farragut for the famous crutse of the Franklin to all the ane et In 1878 he was selected a8 ex- ecutive officer of the Tigress in her Arctic voy: in search of the Polaris. The following year he Was selected for duty as executive officer of the Swatara for the voyage to the Kerguelen tslands, in the South Indian ocean, carrying to that point the transit of Venus party. Recently he was se- lected on account of his seamanship to command the Pinta, which was designed to be sent around Cape Horn to Alaska for nt duty on that Station, and esp2cially for the exploration of the Yukon river. Last week he was detached from the command of this vessel and ordered to the Alliance (third rate) a8 executive officer. The resignation of Lieut, Com. White was en- tirely unexpected. It is stated at the Navy de- peremene that his resignation was entirely volun- ry, and the only reason given for the action ts that the officer In question had recently inherited a handsome fortune, an the slow Promotions in the navy, Si Off the yoke of the service and enjoy himself, On the other hand, tt is teportes i! nation was caused by recent misconduct of a scan- was White has a wife who is an. hospital 1n Pennsylvania, and the story goes that his relations in Norfolk ‘with a female, who was supposed to be his cousin, created a great scandal among the officers’ families at Norfolk when they became known.

The Case of Ex-Senator Kellogg— Discussion in the Criminal Court This Morning—Mr. Ingersoll Resumes His Argument in the Pending Trial. ‘The Criminal Court room was crowded to Its full capacity this morning. Before Mr. Ingersoll pro- ceeded with his address Mr. Nathaniel Wilson, rising, observed that it was kgown to the court and officially to the United States district attorney that he appeared in the case of the United States against ex-Senator Kellogg. When the defendant went away it was understood that he should be In- formed when his presence was required here. He Qfr. Wilson) had received no information up to the present moment directly, but he had been in- formed, indirectly, that the defendant’s presence Was expected here to-morrow morning or that a Warrant would be Issued. He wanted to say that Mr. Kellogg would be here on the first day of the next term, and he thought that might be satis- factory to the government. Mr. Merrick said that some time ago’ he was ap- ched by Mr. Reed, who said he was counsel for Kellogg. When he (Mr. Merrick) saw that It was important that Mr. Kellogg should come into court he addressed a letter Mr. Reed, dated some 15 days ago, notifying him that it was de- sired by the government that the defendant should appear within ten days and take some action with the view of bringing the matter to issue. Mr. Reed called upon him last week and sald that the defendant would bein court any day indicated, provide he could get here from New Orleans, and the understanding was reached that Mr. Kellogg should be here to-morrow. Yesterday Mr. Ree called at his (Mr. Merrick’s) house and stated that he was obliged tobe in New York to-morrow morning, and therefore it would be very inconve- nent for Mr. Kellogg to be here. He had tele~ graphed Mr. Kellogg, he said, and that gentleman ‘would be here shortly. Mr. Reed then assented to a postponement until Wednesday. Mr. Merrick said that he was not informed as to what the relations of the defendant was with dlf- ferent gentlemen as counsel. He had understood from Mr. Bliss a few days ago that Mr. Wilson also represented the defendant. Mr. Wilson said that it was dificult to know, tn the multiplicity of counsel, who represented the overnment. He had supposed that when he not!- Hen the district attorney that was sumclent. He knew that the defendant had no knowledge of any arrangement by which he was expected to be here Tuesday or Wednesday. After further discussion, Mr. Merrick said there should be some action taken and issue joined. Then there would be ample time to consider how far off the trial should be put. ‘I havo instruc tions from the department,” he said, “to ask the court to require that the party appéar, plead, de- mur or take such other action that in his judg- ment, or by advice of counsel, he may deem wise and expedient. It was supposed that it was de- sired by the party himself that the case should be tried at the coming term of court.” JUDGE WYLIE SAYS MR. KELLOGG IS NOT WANTED TILL NEXT TERM OF COURT—THE DETECTIVE CASES RE- FERRED TO. Judge Wylie remarked that a party charged with misdemeanor did not have to plead until the next term of court, and that it was not worth while to call the defendant into court Tuesday or Wednesday when his recognizance could not be forfeited even if he did appear. “So,” said Juage Wylie, “we will expect the defendant in this case tobe presention the first day of the next term, which will be Monday, the 18th. Whether tue case will be tried in’ that term I do not know. ‘There are 80 or 40 cases, I am informed, growing out of some alleged misdemeanors on thé part of lice officers and others, in which the public seem Yotaxe a great interestand certainly in which the public 1s deeply interested in fact. I was told by the district attorney before he left the city a few days ago that the government was very anxious to press thosg,cases for trial the first of next term, but, of cburse, nothing has been determined in regard to that. However,” continued the Judge, ‘whether this case of Kellogg shall be tried first or be postponed for those cages 18 not a matter to be determined now.” Mr. Merrick said that the special counset"en- gaged in the star route cases had no connection with the cases the court had mentioned, but he knew that 1¢ was the desire of the government that those cases should be scaly, brougnt to trial, and that neither the Kel nor any other case should take the precedence of this case. He thought that in the Kellogg case early action should be taken, as he was informed that special Pleas were to be made. Judge Wylie said he was accustomed to such pleas, and proposed to dispose of them very riefly. Mr. Ingersoll Proceeds with His Argu- ment. Mr. Ingersoll then proceeded with his address to the jury. He referred to the testimony of Boone as given under pressure—the result of the in- former system—Boone being under indictment. He anathematized the methods of the government, in having sples, as he said, to watch counsel and jurymen. ‘MESSRS. KER AND INGERSOLL EXCHANGE COMPLI- MENTS. During the course of his argument Mr. Ker, hay- ing occasion to ask for a reference to a page in the record, rose to address the court, but Mr. Ingersoll declared that he would not be interrupted. ‘The court, however, heard what Mr. Ker had to say. Mr. Ingersoll sald that if he wanted to know the page and hed asked him he would have given it, but not when he got up so solemaly. Mr. Ker said that he expected to be answered properly, and that Mr, Ingersoll would have to answer for his conduct. “Anything,” said Mr. Ingersoll, “you want to do about 1, you do.” “We might as well have it out first as last,” said Mr. Ker. “Yes, and better,” said Mr. Ingersoll,sneeringly. Mr. Ingersoll then proceeded with his address, Taking up Rerdell’s testimony he remarked that it was useless to apply epithets. “Epithets would glance from his reputation like bird-shot from the turret of a monitor. The worst I can say of him is to call him—‘Mr. Rerdell.’ The worst thing I can say after that would have a taint of flattery in it” Mr. Ingersoll then devoted himselt to a long review of Rerdell’s testimony, exposing what he considered were inconsistencies. TALKING TO THE JURY. Mr. Ingersoll, in commenting upon the length of time the jury had been obliged to sit in the case, asked of them to put themselves in the place of the defendants, who for two irs had endured the agony and had been hounded by presa. “Al- though,” added Mr. Ingersoll, “the tone of the public press is now cuanged, and changed in such & marked di that one of the attorneys of the prosecution claimed that we had bought up the correspondents.” Mr. Ingersoll having handed Rerdell’s Jersey City telegram, as entered in Rerdeli’s notebook, to the jury, Mr. Crane observed that the eS peared to be written with different pencils. Mr. Ingersoll said there were evidences that three dif- ferent pencils were used. “These papers have been manufactured,” he said, “and when the gov- ernment said ‘this 1s not enough,” another has been manufactured.” ‘Mr. Ingersoll having commented upon the offer of the government to prove, as he he claimed, that Rerdell went to Torrey’s office in New York before he went to Dorsey's shone Wylle said that the offer was not admit not be com- mented upon, ‘Mr. Merrick said he had no objection, as it would give him opportunity to comment, in ‘reply, upon "aA Sarat oem atten is point the usu: ‘After recess Mr. Ingerson contraued his address, and was speaking when our report closed.

THE FISHING 3 | i s i Ha : E igs i § A i : A & Z te ‘The River Flats Proposals. MAJOR HAINS EXPLAINS WHY THEY WERE ALL RE- JECTED—THE PRICES TOO HIGH. “How about that contract for Miling in a portion of the Potomac flats?” asked a Star rep®rter of Major Hains this morning. “The matter 1s out of my hands,” was the re- ply. “What have you recommended in the matter?” asked the reporter. “I have recommended that the contract be not awarded, as, in my opinion, it would not be advisa- ble for the government to ‘pay such a high price. This is just the state of the case. I thought it Would be well to nil tn the portion of the flats in the vicinity of Easby's Point, so ag to have some firm ground for the accumulation of material. The Work now ts not essential; the whole district there will be filled in eventually, and at a much less Cost than 29 cents percuble yard. I know the work can be done for less than that Late} for I have re- cently Performed similar work mnyselt, and for less than 20 cents per cubic- yard. When'I advertised for the work Thad an idea that bids would be re- ceived as low as 17 or 18 rowed gd cubic yard. Of course the price would depend upon the distance that the material was transported. 1 thought that people in the neighborhood would be willing to pay something to have their lots and that the contractor could in that way reduce the price. Why It would be folly to pay 29 cents When we are having the channel dredged and the flats Miled at the same time for a little over 2t cents. But that ts hardly a fair comparison, for If ‘the same measurement was applied i¢ would re- duce the offer of 29 cents to about 23 cents”. “That reminds me,” said the reporter, “about the report that the’ bids have been re} in order Uo throw the contract into the hands of San- ford Ross.” “Well,” sald Major Hains, with a simile, “If you could see my correspondence with Ross you would See how much desire there ts to shove any more work upon him. He has his hands full, having ail the work he can possibly attend to. WHAT GEN. WRIGHT SY. ‘The reyorter took his leave and later called upon Gen. Wright in reference tothe matter, “I have not yet considered the question,” sald Gen. Wright in answer to interrogatories, “as it was only re- ferred to this office on Saturday. Major Hains has recommended the rejection of the bids, and I have nodoubt but that his recommendation will be adopted. Ican see no reason why we should pay Smuch higher price than the work can be done for.” “Will the observatory fill be utilized for fling in the flats, General?” asked the reporter. “That I can’t say,” was the answer. “The ques- tion will probably be referred to the Secretary of the Navy, ana if there ts no objection of course ae, ‘hill will help amuzingiy to fll the ———_-o-—____ The Late Ashford, At a meeting of the Board of Directors and Attending Physicians of the Children’s Hospital, held at the hospital building last evening, the fol- lowing resolutions were adopted: Whereas God in his infinite wisdom has taken from us our late beloved friend and associate, Doctor Francis Asbury Ashford, who died at his home in this city on the mornihg of May 19, 1883, in the, very prime and flower of manhood, and almost at the Beginning of what promised to'be a grand career of usefulness and benefaction; And whereas as one of the founders ‘of the Children’s Hospital, and its attending surgeon from its establishment, he has been one of its Most earnest friends and faithful oMicers and advocates; And wheéreas In our constant intercourse with him we have learned to prize his genuine nobility Of character, his earnest pursuit of the highest ideal of hts profession, and his uniform and falth- ful devotion to the little ones whose mistortunes brought them under the care of his greut si-{ll; And whereas we, the directors and physicians of the Children’s Hospital, deem it a privilege as well as a duty to place upon record our appreciation of the man, the surgeon, the friend and the officer, a8 We knew him, and 2s well to offer our sympathy to his bereaved family; therefore, Resolved, That in ‘the death of Dr. Ashford we are called upon to contemplate the los3 of a man, Gentle, considerate, pure and noble in all the walks of life; a surgeon learned, skillful, devoted, Progressive, und ardent in bebait of suffering hu: manity; a friend, true, generous, faithful aud un- tring, and an officer wise in judgment, prudent in counsel, and zeaious In activity, to whom the in- piitution owes much of its great’success and use- Resolved, That we extend to his widow and fam- ily our sincere sympathy in their affliction; that the ofMicers, directors and staff of the hospital attend the funeral in @ body; that the hospital building be draped in mourning: that the name of the deceased be inscribed upon the mural tablet in the main hall; that a copy of these resolutions be transmitted’ to his widow, and that they be furnished to thy press of the city.
