W., The Control of the Wharves, THE CITY OF WASHINGTON AND NOT THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS HAS CHARGE OF THEM. The opinion given by Acting Attorney Gene- ral Jenks, on a question submitted to the De- partment of Justice by the Secretary of War, ‘s to the authority of the chief of engineers to grant licenses for the erection of wharves along the river front of the city of Washington, is a long document, He says that the authority to issue such licenses was assumed by the chief of engineers to belong to him by virtue of the act of the Maryland legislature of December 19, 1791, and the acts of Congress of May 1, 1802, April 29, 1816, and May "2, 1867. ‘The Mars” land act of 1791 provided’ that the Commis- sioners appointed vy the President, under the act of Congress of July 16, 1790, should “from Ume to time, until Congress shall exercise the jurisdiction and government within the said territory, have power to license the building of wharves in the waters of the Potomac aud the Eastern branch, adjoining the said city,” ete, The offices of these commissioners were’ abol- ished and the appointment of a new officer, called a superintendent, authorized by the act of Congress of 1802. The superintendent suc- ceeded to the wers of the commissioners ‘The act of 1816 abolished the office of super- Intendent and authorized the appointment of @ commissioner of public buildings, vested with ali the powers of the superintendent. The act of 1867 abolished the office of commis sioner of public buildings, and provided that. “the chief engineer of the army shall perform all the duties now required by law of said com: missioners.” According to the view of the Supreme Court ot the District of Columbia, in the case of the District vs. Johnson, the power to license the erection of wharves, ‘whieh con- ferred upon the commissioners named by the Maryland law of 1791, ceased to exist by the very terms of such’ act, upon the as- sumption of jurisdiction by Colgress as above, and consequently did not devolve upon the successors to the commissioners, and did not descend to the chier engineers. The act of 1804 provided that the corporation of the city of Washington should have power “to erect, re- pair and regulate public wharves”, etc.; the act of 1812 authorized the raising of taxes’ by the same corporation, to be expended “in erecting and repairing wharves;” aud the act of 1820, which gave a new chatter to the city ot Wash- ington, conferred upon the corporation powel “vo erect, repair and regulate public wharves,” etc, and “wo regulate te matner of erecting, and the rates of wharfage at_ private wharves, Another point, which is suggested by the chiet of engineers, and that is, that the dock Spaces are public reservations, and that it is his duty Lo see that they are not occupied by any private person for any private purpose whiat- ever, The term “public reservation,” as used in the statutes, signifies an area of ground set apart tor public purposes in the plan of the city; it would not ordinarily be taken to include a dock space, The chief of engineers, Mr, Jenks, hotds that itis not now and never las been clothed with authority to grant licenses for the erection of wharves aloug the river front of the city of Washington, W242 TER B.

FACTS NOTICED BY A PHYSICIAN DURING THE CHARLESTON EARTHQUAKE, At the meeting of the Medical society Wednesday night Dr. Joseph M. Toner read a letter he had just received from Dr. F. Pyre Porche, stating that the faculty of the medical college of the state of South Carolina desired aid in rebuilding their college building, which was badly damaged by the earthquake. ‘The society voted $100 to aid the college. Dr. Porche in his letter gave some interesting facts ‘about the earthquake, “My amily,” he wrote, “arrived atthe North, east rallroad depot from Waynesville, N.C., ten minutes after the great shock which produced such devastation, and drove into the open air. In a few seconds every inhabitant of the state, certainly every individual on the seabourd counties, abandoned their houses on the instant, ‘Those on the cars passing at a speed of Atty miles an hour were unconscious ot what had ‘occurred, because the space between the ‘Ten Mile Hill’ and the city was comparatively un- disturbed; this being very different from the occurrences in the region about Sum- merville, where the South Carolina railroad Was terribly shakdn up, the rails being twisted and bent, and te cars bringing back the ex- cursionisis actually ‘galloped’ over the track, and one engine On another train was over: turned, There, als, there were much more Subterraneous noises, detonations, tremblings, and displacement of the earth, with the throw: ing up of sand and water, I'think te water was simply squeezed out of the earth, us it existed above the marl and phosphate forma- tions. ‘There was actually no intimations of the sudden calamity, save previous slight shocks here and in Sufnmerville, Augusta and elsewhere, and great sultriness of the aunos- Phere, which I noticed whlist waiting the arri- Val of my family atthe depot. The skies tat eveuing “were “observed to be very pecu- tar aud of a reddish yellow color, A. friend, on account of thelr appearance, was glad ihat his son had not gone on a Sail. Some persons were instantly nauseated, nell of sulphur or other gas was very marked, even by those on the cars. ‘There was evidently a rotary motion, for whilst three of my chimneys fell to the ground, the fourth was broken across and remained standing but twisted from the original position. Scarcely ten Window glasses are broken in the entire city, ‘There seems to have been elevations and depressions in the action of tue earthquake, for Somme houses seem to have been spared irom the strain, being consequently less severe in. their locality, OF course interior material and con- struction, as well as position, must all. huve had Ubeir influence. We have'returned to the house within the lust few duys, occupying the lower floor, but the presence ‘ot women and chidren complicate tue situation greatly. So We still preserve our day clothes ail night in case of any sudden notice to leave.” done teter A Handsome Residence. Mrs. L. C. Francis has commenced the eree- tion of a dwelling house on Massachusetts ave- nue, near 1ith street. ‘This residence will bea striking improvement, even In that beautiiul section of the elty. ‘The front will be built of brownstone rock face ashlar to the second story window siils, practieally two stories of brown- stone. The’ entranes will be through a Ro- lmanesque stone arch, eight feet in diameter, connected with the semicircular bay window by a tangent line, thus forming @ striking brownstone poreb.’ The second story will be ot press brick, the window jams having rounded corners, uriinmed with rock fuce brownstone. A pattot the usird story apd the root is to be of slate, ‘The bay window runs up through the third story and finishes in a conical tower. The house on the exterior is thus a combination of brown, red and gray. ‘The interior will be fin- ished In the natural woods, the first story In California red wood, the second story in cy: the third story in’ pine, all to be filled an polished in a first class ihanner. ‘There will be the usual hard-wood mantles, the prinepal ones after special designs of the ‘architect, to have beveled plate mirrors, tile tacing, hearths, brass rims, &c., which are now put in all fine houses, ‘The plumbing and heating will be on the most approved sanitary prinelples.

Johnson Bros. with the meal which 1s supposed to have caused the sickness of their horses, after con- cluding their investigations in the matter, hi Prepared the following statement with a view to clearing away the false impressions gotten from the incomplete reports so far given, and assuring their patrons and the public generally of the entire absence of all grounds for suspect— ing the presence of harmful matter in thelr mill products, About two weeks ago they were requested by 8 firm in this city to grind for them, as amatter of accommodation, a car-load of what is known ‘98 the castor bean pumice; that is, the enve- lope or offal of the bean after the oil has been extracted. This they demurred to for some me, and only finally consented to do the grinding after recelving the most positive and relterated assurances that the pumice was abso- lutely harmless, and that it was a common thing for the flour and grist mills in the west and in Baltimore to grind it. Even after the work had bégun they hesttated about continuing, and would have abandoned itif they had not received the further assur- ance that in addition to its being harmless, it Was, on the contrary, beneficial, on account of its tonic properties, When the work was concluded the machinery was thoroughly cleansed, as was supposed, the burrs being redressed and a quantity of chop Tun through the mill for the purpose of further and completely cleansing it from every particle of dust and odor. This chop was then de- stroyed. After which a quantity of reed meal was ground for Mesers. Johnson Bros. and two or three other parties. Johnsons’ horses were fed that night, and the next morning were taken sick, ‘Tis being reported as caused by the feed, 1¢ was immediately ordered back, to- gether With all the rest that had been sent out, So that nota bushel had been used outside of Johnson Bros.’ stable. ‘The feed was then analyzed and found to contain the dust of the castor bean pumice. ‘This led to farther investigation, which resulted in the discovety that the boot of one of the ele- Vators hud not been cleaned, owing to the negli- genee of one of the men to whom that duty had been assigned. ‘This boot was found to contain about a pound of the pumice. A thorough over- hauling followed, and the mill placed ip a per- tectly cleansed condition, ‘The feed that was sent to the Anacostia rail- Toad stables was ground before the pumice came into the mili; and a sample of the same, pFocared by Dr. MeKenzie, was found by Dr. ‘aylor, of the Agricultural department, to be entirely free trom bean pumice or other foreign substances. Dr. McKenzie says the horse died from a well known disease which follows as a Sequel to some previous debilitating sickness, The firm of Johnson Bros., who were apprised Of the tacts developed by the investigation conducted at the mill, express their thorough confidence in the dealers from whom they pur- chased the meal, and show their contidence by continuing to purchase their feed of them, One Of the members of the firm sald that the trouble arose from an accident that might have oc- curred in any milling establishment in the country, IN THE MEAL.
