What Secretary Trainor Says of the Attorney General's Opinion. “Does the opinion of the Attorney General that certain fixtures in the houses on the new Ubrary site velong to the original owners of the Property cause any complications in disposing of the material tn tho buildings to contrac- tors?” asked aSrar reporter this morning of ‘Mr. Trainor, the secretary of the library com- mission, ‘Not the slightest,” was the reply. ‘A very erroneous impression regarding this opinion prevails,” he continued. “The Attor ney General holds simply that gas fixtures, consisting of chandeliers and ornaments at- tached and the brackets and burners, such articles as are simply screwed on to the gas Pipes of a building and can be unscrewed, and also the iron fences oy the parking 1otin the roperty, of which there ts very little, aid not me the property of the government when it made the purchase. Latroves and heating Apparatus with five connections go with the Property. The bids for the purchase of the property by contractors were submitted on the 25th of October. The opinion of the Attorney General was received on the 18th, before any awards had been made. On the 20th of October We notified those contractors whose bids were about to be accepted of the opinion of the Attorney General, and gave them an opportu- nity of modifying their bids before the awards should be mude, in order that there might be no misunderstaiding about the matter. The Tesult was that not asingle contractor altered his bid to the extent of one cent, and all ot the awards since made by the commission bave been accepted by the contractors. So you see there has been no trouble about the matter at all. We are now drawing up the contracts tor tearing down the buildings and expect to get to work by the middie of next week. We will commence on the buildings fronting Capitol park, on Ist street, ind work eastward.” oe Changes in the Offices, APPOINTMENTS AND PROMOTIONS IN THE IN- TERIOR DEPARTMENT, ETC, The following changes have occurred in the Interlor department: Promotions in the patent office from fourth assistant examiners at $1,200 to third assist- ants at $1,400—Seymour W.

VIEWS OF AN ARMY OFFICER, “This government did a very wise thing when it made provision for the colored people toserve in the army,” said an army officer to a Srar reporter to-day. “There are four regi- ments of colored troops,” he continued, “the ninth and tenth regiments of cavalry and the twenty-fourth and twenty-fifth regiments of infantry, They have proved themselves to be good soldiers. ‘Troops belonging to. the tenth cavalry recently made a splendid campaign against the Apaches, and succeeded in captur- ing Mangus and the remnant of bis band. When they are properly officered they are as fine soldiers as there are in the world, und any nation would be proud of them. At first there Was a prejudice umong army oficors against being assigned toa colored regiment, but that feeling bus gradually worn away, so’ that offi- cers {rom the suuth, even to whom sueh service would naturally be'distastetul, bave learned to | appreciate the worth of the colored soldiers and have no hesitation in commanuing them. Tuey know that when they are properly treated they muke model soldiers. These officers, tuo, seem. to meet with the greatest success in command- ing colored troops. Probably this 1s because they understand the nature and disposition ot the negro better than officers. irom the north, and when they take hold of their work 1a tue Proper spirit they invuriably make a success, ‘Tne colorea people, you know, are naturally free irom care and good natured’ under difticul- tes. These cuaructeristics are invaluable both incamp und in the field. In the tedious eam- paigus whieh are incident to the service, they Stand the bardships even better tan white troops, for they are not troubled by petty in- conveuitences, and aiways look on the bright side of everything. The tedious routine of camp or barrack lite does not incommode them in the least, so long as they have uielr rations and sleep. ‘In action they are us brave as any soldiers On earth, provided they have cout- deuce in tbeir commanders, for they will go wherever they are led. ‘They make obedient, clean and vrave soldiers, and they arean act quisition to the arm ~— eee.

The Prayer for the President. A PROPOSED CHANGE OF FORM BY THE P. E. CONVENTION, In the Episcopal convention in Chicago yes- terday the proposition to substitute in the order for evening services a prayer for civil authorl- tles in place of the existing prayer for the Presi- dent of the United States excited much debate. ‘The prayer, as reported from committees and as sent down by the house of bishops, made no mention of the chief executive by his office, but instead contained the following: “#30 rule the hearts of all those whom Thou ost set in authority over us that they,” etc. The house finally rejected the form. proposed by the house of bishopsund adopted the prayer contuined in the book of noufication, Tuls prayer, which, i! agreed to by the house of bish- ops, at once becomes a part of the revised Prayer book, reads: “So rule the hearts of Thy servants the President of the United States, the governor of this state and all others in’ an- thority that they,” etc. The printing of the phrase, “the governor of this state,” in italics nveys the hotice that its use is permissive, ince there may arise cases w!

Controller Darham’s Recommendations ‘HE THINKS THE MATTERS OF INCREASED SALA- RIES, STREET IMPROVEMENTS, PUBLIC SCHOOL EXPENSES, ETC., SHOULD GO TO ©)N- GRESS WITHOUT APPROVAL. Controller Durham, in bis letter of recom- mendations concerning the District estimates, which was mentioned in THE STAR yesterday, Says first that the form in which the estimates are presented is unusual and should bechanged to correspond with those of former years. ‘With relation to the proposed increased sala- ries for District employes, he says no reason for ‘such increases are given, and he theretore re- commends that the matter go to Congress with- outelther approval or disapproval. The esti- mates forthe streets not being in detail he recommends that they be sent to Congress Without approval. As to the erection ot school buildingsand the employment of teachers, he Says the division or district in which the schools are to be bullt and their cost should be given, and the number of teachers and the sal- ary ofeach.

The controller calls attention to the fact that the District bears half the expense of the work- house, and not any of the expense of the jail; also, that the Police Court is the only one of the courts of which the District bears any share of the expense. He recommends that the atten- tion of Congress be called to this, as he thinks it proper thee the District should bear half the uses of Phe Jull and ot all the District courts, ‘This letter has been sent to the Secretury of the Treasury, but no action has yet been upon it by him. ——__+e+___ The City Fall of Brides and Grooms.

Browning, testified toGolly having been ‘a witness, and suid that with some other Witnesses they'signed a page which was after- wards attached to the deposition. It was not required by the Maryland court that the depo- sitions be signed. On cross-examination, wit- ness sald he believed the sheet signed was not the same kind of paper the deposition 1s printed upon. ‘The signature was not attached to the end of nis testimony, for he came back with an explanation which was taken down and put in, and this is between the first depo- sition and the explanatory deposition, Mr, W.

THE CAUSEWAY TO BE MACADAMIZED. The complaints as to the condition of the Long bridge, now used by the Pennsylvania railroad system, which have found thelr way into the papers and brought about a con- troversy as to who has supervision over the bridge, have not been useless, for orders have been received by the road department of the railway to put the causeway in order without delay. The causeway will be macadamized as S000 as the broken stone can be procured and hauled. As regards safety to bear any weight likely to be put upon it, the bridge is now as sound as ever, as Jt has not been much over a yeur since every timber in it was Inspected and ail ungonnd ones replaced. About the same time the causeway and approaches to the bridge were graveled thoroughly, and in the early art of Unis season more gravel was put upon fe"'phe travel on it has been leavy ‘aud the weather having been exceedingly, dry the favel has ‘been cut into ruts and thé road had ecome very dusty. ‘The District Commlssioners wrote to Mr. H.

To the Editor of THE EVENING STAR: 5 {n connection with the position of the Com- missioners on the legal necessity for the sub- mission of a schedule of the streets to be im- proved fo the Treasury department, an absurd error made by a correspondent of the New York Tribune, which appeared in that journal in its {ssue of the 26th inst., should be corrected. It tated in thut Journ: charge ismade that inarinnolding ar euch echedsie at tals fimo is, becanse the money estimated for the improvement of streets, namely, $405,000, is to be used for the benefit of rty ol President Cleveland, Secretary Whitney and otber promi- nent owners of unimproved real estate. Any ‘one who assumes to state the facts in connec- tion with this sehedule and to criticise the ac- Uons of the heads of the District government should not be so ignorant of the law in the premises, which plainly indicates that this item of "$405,000 is to be expended in street improvements within the city limits, there being @ separate item for suburban improvements, which this year is $50,000. It is not stated that the parties named ‘ure at all interested in city property, so that to urge such a reason as governing the Commissioners’ action is unten- able; and this is but an illustration of other misstatements and erroneous conclusions con- tained in the arucle, which will require a sub- Sequeut communication. It is also stated by the same correspondent that such dissatistac- Hon was created by the failure of the Com- missioners to send the usual schedule that the acting secretary of the Treasury felt com- strained to cull for it 1s also a misstatement, for those conversant with the facts are aware that it was at the instance of the First Control- Jer that such request was made, and thai he was influenced to take the step by subordinates in his office. ‘This influence bas always been exerted to thwart the administration of the District government by the Cominissiouers and to make this municipality subordinate to the Treusury officials. Every buard of commi: sioners has encountered this spirit, and un, legitimate und reasonable exercise of thelr dis- cretion bas been contested atevery point. Itis ‘the presumption that Lhe several first controllers have relied on the knowledge of District mat- ters of thelr subordinates, and the enmity of such to the District government and the wel- tare ofthe citizens has held sway in the various controversies that have arisen between the District Commissioners and the Treasury. In the case in potat it. may not be known that if such @ schedule of streets was submitted, the Secretary of the Treasury would have no power to omit or add a single street, ana as this is a matter in which the citizens of this District and Congress are alone concerned, and it would seem reasonable that the Commission- ers fail to veo the advisability of making up thelr minds nine months in advance of the tme when the work shall be done. Heretofore the influence now exerted to compel the Com- missioners to yield to the demands of Treasury subordinates would have caused the District the loss of many thousands of doliars by the failure to credit the same with one-haif the drawback certificates received for taxes, but Congress wisely recognized the equity of the District’s claim and allowed the credit. It will thus ve seen from information oUtalned from reliable sources that the Commissioners have taken a stand which, while not sumiiting to the efforts to belitule thelr authority, have nut at ali injured the interests of the people or dis- regarded the will of ‘which created, them.

"The engine left the track, ran a short distance and brought up against the side of the cut, toppling over. ‘The baggage car and two reguiur couches followed, while four sleepers kept the rails, THIRTEEN, THE EXACT NUMBER KILLED. The engine and the cars that went otf were badly smushed, and soon took fire irom tbe stoves; and Engiveer Little and Fireman Exan crawled out from under the locomotive badly bruised aud scalded. The baggageman had a leg broken. Ail passengers in the sleep- ers got out uninjured, except slight bruises, but in one day coach, thirteen were pinned in and literally burned to death. Many others were injured by the severe shaking. The ‘names ot the victims are not yet known. The whole train, excepting one sleeper, which they were able to uncouple and draw away, was burned up. A wrecking train with surgeons went from this city and did all possible to al- leviate suffering and save life.
