Professor Sousa’s Claim, WHAT HE ASKS AS LEADER NOT GRANTED, BUT HE 18 ALLOWED PAY AS A MEMBEH OF THE MARINE BAND. Professor Sousa, leader of the Marine band, has made a claim for $41.93 additional pay as leader of the band and $324 as member of the band for Playing at the White House and Capitol grounds, Second Controller Butler has disallowed the first claim, as leader, but allowed the $324. He says: “The' Revised ‘Statutes, section 1612, gives the officers of the Marine Corps the sume pay and al. lowances, and the enlisted men the same pay and Dounty for re-enlistment, as are or may be pro- vided by or in pursuduce of the law for officers and enlisted men of like grade in the iniantry of the Army. The claimant 1s graded as ‘leader of the band’'in the Marine Corps, and as such. re- celyes the pay of $1,080 per year. His position and rank are anomalous, there being nothing of lke grade in the infantry of the Army. ‘The statutes appropriating money for pay of the musi- clans of the Marine band for the past nine years have been practically identical, and from them there appears no evidence which will give the claimant the benefit of the above quoted section.” ‘The Controller says that he sees more reason for allowing $4 per month as & member of the Marine band, playing at the Presidenv’s grounds and the Capitol, under section 1613 of the Revised Statutes, and therefore allows the $324 claim, pucks of ccntoes Army Paymasters, CONTROLLER BUTLER SAYS A MAJORITY OP THEM ARE INDEBTRD TO TUK GOVERNMENT UNDER THEIR OLD accovnrs. ‘The records of the Second Controller's Office show that a majority of the paymasters of the Army are, to a more or less extent, indebted to the Government under their old accounts. Second. Controller Butler has written to Paymaster Gen- eral Rochester, stating “that it appears from the records of the Controller's Ofice that a large ma- jority of the payinasters of the Army are indebted to the Government tu larger or smaller amounts uader bonds that expired in the years 1883 and 1884, or earlier, This indebtedness was ascer- tainéd upon a Mnal revision of the accounts of Said payiasters, 91x to ten months ago, due notice Of Which has beén sent to the .officer 1p each case, Considering the length of ume that has ela; since the expiration of said bends, tt_wot not seein to De advis.uble, and certulnly 13 not basiness- like, to longer penuit said accounts to remain in ‘this unsettied condition.

After the return of the two Commissioners Mr. Edgerton wrote a report, in which he eld that the charges had not been sustained, He took up the subject of the power ot federal officials under thecivi ‘ice law to remove subordinates, malo- taining that the law imposes no restrictions Unat did not exist befor at a superior has # right to dismiss a subordinate without ving reasons therefor, and that it is outside the legitimate sphere of the Commfssion to investigate ciuses of removals, Mr. Edgerton, as has been stated in THE Stak, also paid hig respects to civil-service leagues in no complimentary verms, COMMISSIONER LYMAN DISGENTS. When this report was read to Commissioner Lyman he retused to sign it, and at once pro- ceeded to write a report for himself, In which he held that the collector had excecded bis legal authority in making, at least, one removal that the law requires, other thin be equal that preference sliall be given to ex-Union soldiers, and ‘that the collector had removed an employe ‘who Was a veteran, without sufficient reasons. When ‘Unis report was read to Mr. Edgerton, he refused: to sign it and then COMMISSIONER OBRRLY WAS CALLED IX, and both reports read to him. He then prepared @ report, treating all the subjects taken up by Mr. Edgerton, but controverting the latter's position in regard to the right of removal and as to civil- service leagues, As the tesumony taken in the investigation was submitted to Mr. Oberiey he agreed with Mr. Lyman that the legal power of removal iad been exceeded. This report will goto the Prestdent as the report of the Commission, 1t pa ened by Messrs. Oberly and Lyman, white Mr. (oe report completely exonerating both the collector and the postmaster and maintaining ‘that the civil-service law does not resirict the power of removal as well as condemning civil-ser- vice leagues, Will be enclosed as a minority report. How Arrests are Counted, A CURIOUS WAY TO SREP POLICE RECODS, WHICH 13 CALCULATED 10 MISLSAD. The reports of the several! poltee Veutenants for the forty-eight hours ending at & c'cieck Unis a.m, show that there were 160 arcesis made during that time. Twenty-four artests were for intoxi- cation, While the reports show 160 arrests there ‘Were not 160 persons arrested. For instance, in the arrest of six persons there are ceunted on ‘the records fifteen arrests if there are firteen charges against the six. Kobert A. Robinson, arresiey cn a charge of forgery, is charged with that offense in five cases and ‘It counts that many arresi James Dunn, alias Peter Mudd, who walked out of the Police Court Saturday, was charged as wo arrests, he being arrested us a fugitive from jus- Uce and for petit larceny, lie was then recap- tured and this made three arrests on the record. Jobn Spencer, Stephen Ford and Stephen Varnel each arrested on two charges, counteach two at rests. In this way the number of arrests recorded 1s considerably higher than the number of persons actually arrested. ee The Camp-Mecting at Barnesville, Mid. Correspondence of Tue EVENING Stan.

MR. DILLARD’S TROUBLE, Mis Congregation Give Him Three Monthy’ Notice toStep Down andOnt, THEY ACCUSE HIM OF BELIEVING IN YOODOOIEM, AND SAY HE SPRINKLED SALT IN THE CHURCH AISLES TO KREP THE DEVIL aWaY. Last Thursday evening a called meeting of the membership of Mt. Zion Baptist church (colored) was held to take action In reference to dissolving their pastoral relations, with Rev. Noah Dillard, who has served them for four years, The result Was the adoption of a resolution giving the pastor three months’ notice that his services were no longer required. This resolution was adopted by a Vote of 34 to 27, and was published in Tux ‘Star’s Special Notices on Saturday. There has been trouble brewing for some time Past, Which is traceable to several causes. The congregation owned the lot at the corner of 12th and E streets northeast, On this wus a small Irame eburch, and they’ had so conducted the Muances that ‘last year Chey did not owe a doliar toanyone, Mr. Dillard tad been ‘pastor for over two years when the subject of building a sub- ‘stantial brick structure was considered, and, after some Op} ton, the ent edifice was Dulit, ata cost of about $4,500, the larger portion of which bas not been paid. In tbe nature of things ‘the trustees should have been responsible, but Mr. ‘Dillard essayed the whole responsibilty for tuls debt, and Claiins that the ¢ ors Jook to him, ‘The church was completed about a yeur ago, and it seems that the membership Ubink that he bas been usurping Loo much power, and some of the older members clalm that he Hag been gradually shoving them to the wall by. calling on the younger portion of the congregation to come orward and rule the chured, and tuereby pus them out. This is not all, for they also claim that heis somewhat of a “voodoo doctor,” or at least a bellever in Voodoolsm, for some time ago a bottle was found planted near the door of the caureh filled with nails and other articles, and some persons assert that the pastor put the bottle therefor some mysterious pury ‘Recentiy the Sexton, Mr. Preston, Cuuight thé pastor sprinklin ‘salt in the lea, and asked What it was for, ant he said that it was to keepthe devil away.
