THE SEWER APPROPRIATION QUESTION.— First Controller Durham has not complied with the request of the Commissioners of the District that an account which was charged last Octo- ber to the appropriation for the Boundary street and collateral sewers be changed so as to be made chargable to the $500,000 general sewer appropriation. The account, for $10,000, was properly certified to and charged by the Dis- trict Commissioners to the Boundary street Sewer appropriation, and so allowed to pass through the first auditor's office, which they Say Was a mistake. ‘The first controller has re- fased to make the change without a thorough Investigation of the case, which cannot be m: until Mr. Walker, who fs now away, shail re- turn, about the first of the month, Ii Is quite likely that the elange will be made finally, but ifitshould not be it might Involve a much larger amount than the account represents by exhausting the specific appropriation before the Work contemplated should be completed.

This branch of the work of his office was about three years in arrears when he assumed, charge, About forty thousand clatins had ac- cumulated. This was due to a great extent to the fact that after the decision in favor of cer- tain longevity claims of officers in the army, was rendered, all other work was made second: ary to the auditing of these claims. Auditor Day has taken the position that the forty thou- sand or more soldiers who have been waiting so long for small sums oi money due them, have the first claim upon the office for the consider- ation of their cases, and he ls concentrating all the force that can be spared from the other div- isions upon this work.

CIVIL SERVICE COMPLICATIONS. The New York Customs House Em- broglic. WHAT COMMISSIONER THOMAN SAYS. A special dispatch from New York to the Philadelphia Press of to-day in reference to the Jocal civil service examining board of the New York custom house and the resignations therefrom, after mentioning that Chairman Comstock is the only member of the board who has not resigned, saye: “As if to increase the complieations in the examining board and force the commission to accept the three names « ay, Barre and McKeown, sent to Wash- ington by the collector and surveyor, Mr. Berry to-day made @ requision on Chairman Come stock for the immediate certification of th names oftwo persons from whom to make a selection for gauger. There is only one vacancy as gauger, and tne examinin, 1, & Weel go, certified the only eligible nam¢ on the list of persons who had been examined for such appointment, ‘he dispatch goes on to charge that this re- quest for the immediate certification of two Persons, made when “the board is without a quorum,” is for the purpose of forcing the civil service commission to accept the persons Wanted on the board by the collector and sur- Yeyor, a8 no examination can be held until the ‘vacancies are filled. Commissioner Thoman, when shown this dis- patch by a Stax reporter, sald the commission ad never received any recommendations of Berry and Barre; that McKeown is the only person yet recommended to the commission. Besides,” added the commissioner, “the resignations of the five members of the board who propose to retire have not been accepted; or rather, they do not go into effect until their Successors shall have been appointed. The are still subject to duty, and the board is not yet in a minority, The law au- thorizes two members of the board to act, and if an immediate examination was really neces- sary Chairman Comstock would have no diffl- culty in calling upon the others to serve. I feel confident that the vacancies will be filled vel soon, and do not apprehend any trouble at all. ‘The iaw authorizes non-competitive examina- tions where an exigency arises, but the commis- sion must first approve such a course. The ex- amining board of New York is so restricted that it could not be made use of as a partisan ma- chine, even if the chief customs officials so de- sired—and I do not belleve they do—without Positive and palpable violations of the law.” see: ‘The President to Visit Richmond. HE PROMISES TO MAKE A SPEECH AT THE VIR- GINIA STATE FAIR. A dispatch from the Greenbrier White Sul- phur Springs to the New York Herald to-day says: “The Virginia Agricultural Society held a meeting here, at which Col. Robt, Beverly, president of the society, announced that Prest- dent Cleveland had consented to visit Rich- mond on the oceaston of the state fair, which commences on the 21st of October and con- tinues for four days. Col. Beverly had several conversations with the Presidenton the subject, during one of which the latter asked what he wanted him to do. Col. Beverly replied that he wanted him to make a speech. The President asked if he could make a speech that would do ‘any good. Col. Beverly replied that If he made {4s good a speech as theone he heard him make at Elmira it would do a great deal of good. ‘The President then agreed to come to Richmond, provided he was not prevented by public duties ‘he matter was also laid before the cabinet by Secretary Bayard, who writes Col. Beverly that ail the members have agreed to visit Richmond with the President. ‘The visit will take place just two weeks before the state election, and it 8 expected it will be a diplomatic stroke of pol- fey. politically and otherwise, to have Mr. Cleveland make a specch at that time. A mem- ber of the society said it wouid be worth 5,000 Yotes to the democrats on the day of election, A Row Between Naval Officers. From the New York Sin today. Capt. J. C. Wi #01, head of the equipment de,artment at tie Brooklyn navy yard, made certain accu: a:ions, not of an important nature, against Lieut, George R. Benson, of the naval corps. Lieut. Benson pronounced the story false, and used such strong language to Capt. ‘Watscn in the presence of Commodore Chandler, that the latter said an apology from the lieu tenant was necessary. Tne litter refused to inake one, avd an investigation was ordered. Capt. Watson sald: “I will say nothing farther than that.an official inguiry will be made. It is an uniortunate conipiication, and the least said about it the better.” ‘The New York Democratic Convention Called. At its meeting in Saratoga last night the New York democratic state committee decided to hold the democratic state convention in Sara- toga on Thursday, September 24. John O'Brien Was chosen chairhiah in place of Hon. Dantel Manning, resigned, for the balance of the term, Charles A. Grannis was made secretary. —se0—— Reported Death of Chief Nana. ANOTHER FAMOUS INDIAN DESPERADO SAID TO HAVE BEEN KILLE! Word comes from New Mexico that Nana, or Nane, chief of the renegade Chiricahuas, has been killed. For nearly five years he has been the leader of the marauding redskins who have periodically swooped down from their hiding- places in the mountains across the Mexican border and terrorized the people of southern New Mexico and Arizona. Previously he had heen the tieutenant of Victoria, and after latter's death he rose to the | aciiieitainship | by | force | of his reckless daring and bloodthirstiness. Phy- sically he was a type after the fdeal Indian Pawied by Fenimore Cooper. Over six feet in eight and of communding presence, noted for his prowess, a good shot and a fine horseman, he was both feared and admired by his rene- gude followers. Nana's raids were done out of pure deviltry, Old Victorio went on the war- path because he hud a grievance. ‘The home of his tribe was in southern New Mexico. Alter the war tbe region ted by federal volunteers from Culifornia, the In- dians were crowded out and frequent bloodshed resulted. ‘Ibe government then removed the oa rexel ai Ojo Caliente. Here oval to the San Curios a Was ordered. Vic- forio made ppeal to be permitted to ain where his fathers were buried, ‘he re- however, was lust setiling up, and the hewcomers deciared that the Indians must go. Berides, tho reds frequently attacked ranches, and were continually thieving and running off Victorio and his tribe were compeiled Lo leave their old bome, but shortly after, in 1875, they broke away. The two years that followed were marked by trequent outbreaks. Finaily Victoria's band was driven into the mountains of Chihuahua by Mexican and American troops coopeiating. “Here the: were surprised by an Srregular band of Mexi- cans, and many were sluughtered, Including Victoria. Nana, even then the real leader of the tribe, escaped. He avowed that for every One of his tribe that had been massacred, he would kill five Mexieuns and Americans,’ He got together the scattered band, constantly re- ceiving reinforcements from malcontents who Jett the agencies, and has inade repeated raids over the Mexicuh border. Hundreds of people have been killed by his bund. Most of his time Was spent in the mountains of Chihuahua and Sonora, the northern states of Mexico, except When actually on the warpath. It was Nana who entrapped Gen, Crook in the Mexican Mountains in 1883. 29 __ Another Foolhardy Leaper. A telegram from Cohoes, N, ¥., August 18th, Says: This morning it was reported that in the afiernoon, Lewis Potter, of this city, who has attained some notoriety as a steeple climber, would jump from the top span of the iron bridge crossing the Hudson. At 2 o'clock a large crowd collected on the bridge. The police hesr- ing of the reported attempt notifed the Lau- Singburg poiice to be on bund, and an officer Was also dispatched from this elty. Potter ap- peared a little ahead of time, and before the Police arrived, ‘and was sligutly intoxicated. le was dressed in durk breeches, a faanel shirt, anda straw hat. When the Cohogs off- cer Was seen approaching, Fotter, as If fearing arrest, climbed to the uppermost span of the bridge. For a moment he gazed at the people below and then sprang torward. A sui mur mur was heard from the crowd, who expected that he would be killed. Feet first Potter dis appeared beneath the water und in a few seo- onds apy on the surfuce pretty well austed. He swam ashore and was arrosted by Officer Reardon and escorted to_the police Station, a lurge crowd following. Potter was ‘asked 11 he wanted to kill himseif and replied: “No, I only wanted to see if Leould jump from that height.” ——____+e0—___ DARKNESS IN ATLANTIC Crry.—As i of people were piomouading the olevared board walls tronting the beach at AUlantic City, about 8 o'clock last evening, the cylinder head ot the electric-light engine blew out and the entire line of electric lumps along the beach were in- stantty extinguished.

Johnson in his application for a new trial in the case against him in which he was charged with keeping an unlicensed bar. The affidavit sets forth “‘that he (Mitchell) was witness in the case and testified that he pur- chased liquor from the defendant; that upon reflection he finds thathe has done Johnson reat injustice, and was led into it by one John inney.” 2 John H.
