Four FOR DISTRICT COMMISSIONER. Democrats Who are Mentioned as Mr. Wheatley’s Successor. SKETCHES OF SEVERAL CITIZENS, ONE OF WHOM MAY BE SELECTED FOR APPOINTMENT BY PRESI- DENT HARRISON TO REPRESENT THE DEMO- CRATIC PARTY IN OUR LOCAL GOVERNMENT. Commissioner Wheatley’s term of office will expire on the 29th instant, and if no appoint- ment is made of a republican to succeed Com- missioner Webb before that date, President Harrison will then be called upon to select two civil rulers over the District. Itis not known whether the former practice of choosing one democrat and one republican will be followed or whether two republicans will be selected, leaving Maj. Raymond, the Engineer Commis- sioner, who was selected by ex-President Cleve- land, and is presumably a democrat, to repre- sent that party on the board. If it shall be de- cided that, as an army officer, Maj. Raymond is not a political appointee, though it is not likely that he would have been selected had it not been assumed that his predelictions were dem- oeratic, then the President will probably ap- point a democrat as Mr. Wheatley's successor. Among the more prominent demceratic ap- plicants for this office are Messrs. Lawrence Gardner, E. G. Davis, L. G. Hine, Thomas J. Luttrell, Wm. Dickson. A. A. Wilson. W. Cranch McIntire. Noble D. Larner, Wm. H. Clagett, and Col. James G. Berret. LAWRENCE GARDNER may be classed among the public-spirited citi- zens of the District. He is always willing to do his part in forwarding any movement that will be of benefit to the city. He is actively identi- fied witk local politics, and is the president of the Columbia democratic club. At the last in- auguration he was corresponding secretary of the inaugural executive committee, and in 1886 he was treasurer of the democratic con- gressional committee. He was born in Glae- gow, Scotland, in the year 1847, and came to this’ country when s child with his parenta, After a short residence in New York city the elder Gardner removed to this city. His son attended the public schools here and then was | sent to Mount St. Mary's college at Emmits- burg, Md., where he graduated. He subse- quently became associated with bis father in business, and when, in 1877, the Washington beneficial endowment association was organized he became the assistant to his father, who was the secretary. Upon the death of his father, in 1882, Mr. Gardner succeeded him as secre- tary, a position which he still fills. MR. E. G. DAVIS, the present collector of taxes for the District, isa fine specimen of manhood, 6 feet tall and weighs about 210 pounds. He is easily ap- proached, and has the happy faculty of making one feel at home when addressing him. Born in Frederick county, Md., in the year 1837, he came to Washington when but seventeen yeurs | of age, and was employed as clerk in the milli- | nery store of Mrs. Ruth A. Peace, the then | leading fancy goods store in the city. In 1860 he took charge of the wholesale department of | the store of 8. 8. Corbin & Co., of Philadelphia, | relieving the late C. C. Thorn in that capacity. | In 1866 Mr. Davis associated himself with an | old friend, D. H. Gaither. of Maryland, and bought out the fancy goods store of R. C. | Stevens, on Market 5; where the business | was conducted under the firm name of Davis & Gaither for three years, when he bought out Mr. Gaither’s interést and has since managed the entire business. He is a staunch democrat, | bet not an active partisan. During Cleveland's | inauguration he was chairman of the commit- | tee on decoration of the ball-room. He was ap- | pointed to his present position about a year succeeding Mr. John F. Cook, who had collector for over thirteen years. THOMAS J. LUTTRELL. One of the active workers xmong the democrats | | | Years ago his abilities as an organizer were recognized by his being placed at the head of the democratic central committee. He took an active part in the preparation for the inaugura- tion of Mr. Cleveland, and was marshal of the civic division of the parade. Mr. Luttrell was born in Virginia and began life as a clerk ina | store in Alexandria. When the war broke out, | Mr, Luttrell espoused the cause of his state, | when the war was over he came to this city and entered the dry goods store of Johnson, Sutton & Co. asa clerk. In a short time be formed a partnership with Mr. Hennage and went into business for himself at 20th and Pennsylvania, where he he haa since remained. Mr. Louis D, Wine was associated with him in business for a number of years, COL. JAMES G. BERET, Col. James G. Berret is one of the well-known citizens of the District, and is prominent in social and political circles. During his long and honorable life he has been called upon frequently to occupy positions of public trust. In 1349 he was chief cierk of the pension office. During the administration of President Pierce he was appointed city postmaster, and shortly proms he was elected mayor of the city and served in that capacity for two terms. He was appointed by Gen. Grant police commis- sioner. He has had a brief experience in journalism, having been the business manager of the Daily Patriot, a democratic newspaper | which had an existence here of just one year. Col. Berret, while thoroughly identified with District interests, is a citizen of Maryland, | where he has a country place. He was one of the electors in the Cleveland-Blaine cam; - | and was chosen president of the Maryland electoral college. He was also chairman of the inaugural committee of the Cleveland inaugu- ration and represented the city in this capacity in the reception to ex-President Cleveland upon his arrival in this city. He was alsoa member of the exccutive committee which had charge of the arrangements for President Har- rison’s inauguration. ALBERT A. WILSON. who has, since January 15, 1836, filled the posi- tion of marshal of the District, is so well known to our citizens that it is almost unnecessary to give a sketch of him. He is of the well- known family-‘of that name who have resided in the west end for three-fourths of a century or more, a son of the late Wm. Wilson, and was | born in 1840. He received his education in the Washington schools and the Hallowell seminary at Alexandria, finishing at the Baltimore busi- ness college. He was engaged a few years in mercantile pursuits in the west end and later on entered the real estate business. For some years he has been a director and more recently president of the Firemen’s Insurance Co., a di- rector of the National Bank of the Republic, and director and vice-president of the Metro- politan railroad. He has always been a demo- crat, and in several campaigns has been a lead- ing party worker. MR. LEMON G, HINE is now about fifty-four years of age, and is a native of Ohio, having been born near Toledo. He is a graduate of Oberlin college, and studied law at Ann Arbor, Michigan, where he | commenced the practice of his profession. | When the war broke ont he left his practice, as | also his young wite and child, and, enlisting in | an Ohio regiment, served in the west until the | close of hostilities, A few months after (in 1865) he came to this city aud took up his resi- dence in South Washington. He Formed a legal partuership with ex-Gov. Ford, of Ohio, and for a number of years was the junior mem- ber of the firm of Ford & Hine. “During this time he became quite popular in his section and was elected to the councils several terms, | He was an independent candidate for delegate | to Congress from the District during the of the territorial government rgainst Gen, ton P. Chipman, republican, by whom be defeated. “His legal practice beeame vy. large, aud in 1875 and 1876 he led the ent bar in the number of cases on the docket. He | about that time took Mr. Sidney T. Thomas into partnership, and the firm of Hine & Thomas was for many years one of the most | successful in the legul profession here. Some | four or five years ago he became interested | in patents applicable to ty) tting by ma-| chinery, and in 1887 he retired from active | Factice to take the position of president of the National Typographic association, Mr. Hine | resides with his family, ife and six children, | on Lincoln avenue or the Glenwood road just | north of the city limits, and his affable man- | ners and genial disposition have won for him the friendship of his neighbors generally as well as that of the residents of other localities, WILLIAM H. CLAGETT. Few men have been so long and favorably identified with District interests as Mr. William H. Clagett. Born in this District, as his father, Darius Clagett, had been, Mr. Clagett in early life folloy the sea. After making several voyages around the world he returned to this | city and became associated with his father in the dry goods business. About the breaki out of the war he entered into rship wi Wm. M. Shuster, and fora number of years | they carried on a successful dry goods business | on Market space, near 7th street. He then | withdrew from the firm for the | ign. i R§ z ; FE fi | tional Union insurance | held ever since. | Mr. Webb addressed to the attorneys of the | the work in their line for some of the finest to the people of the District. Mr. Clagett has always been an earnest = of every movement looking to the welfare of the Dis- trict, and pea doesent: Cobar man of convictions and unquestioned integrity. WM. CRANCH M'INTIRE was born in this city and has lived here all his life, except during the war, when he went south and fought in the confederate army. His father for many years occupied a responsible ee in the patent office under J ae for whom Mr. McIntire wes named. en hos- tilities ceased he returned to Washington and opened an office as patent attorney, and has since followed that profession, having built up a lucrative practice. By acquiring an interest in several valuable patents he has accumulated quite a fortune, and lives in a handsome house on Rhode Island avenue, near Scott circle. Mr. McIntire has an attractive personal appear- ance, being tall and well formed, with a face indicating decided strength of character. He Wears a moustache and flowing side whiskers of the English cut, He is a member of the Jefferson club and is quite popular in social isibilea,, Hiis/Seutoatacy Hae bean prononnced but not violent, and he is a member of the Co- lumbia democratic club. He is a man of good | executive capacity, of broad vftws, and much | general information, He is about fifty years of age. WILLIAM DICKSON. The democrats of the District have honored Mr. William Dickson by sending him as one of their representatives to three successive nation- al conventions of their party. He was active, prior to the convention of 1880, in bringing about the organization of the District demo- crats with the view of securing the right to the District delegates to a vote in the national con- vention, This right was finally secured in 1834. | The esteem in which he was held was shown | by the fact that he was elected a delegate to three conventions by more than a two-thirds vote, Since 1884 Mr. Dickson has been a member of the national democratic com- ! mittee. He was prominent in the movement for securing a__ territorial | form of government for the District and repre- | sented the twelfth district in the legislature for three terms. Mr. Dickson was born in Phila- delphia, and at the breaking out of the war he enlisted ina Philadelphia regiment and was detailed to form a fire brigade for duty at Fortress Monroe. Shortly afterward he was ordered to this city, where he was placed in charge of the government fire brigade, which rendered such eflicient service here during the war. He, in fact, organized the brigade, and at the close of the war he was called upon as an expert to assist in the organization of the pres- ent fire department. Mr. Dickson established himself in business in this city, where he since resided. NOBLE D. LARNER. Mr. Noble D. Larner is a well-known, life- long citizen of the District and has served the city in the municipal councils. He is now | heaps of the Committee of One Hundred. e was born in this city, as were also his father and mother. He learned the trade of printer at the office of his grandfather, Jacob Gideon, who ut that time conducted one of the largest printing offices in the city. In the latter part of 1860 he was aclerk in the Interior depart- ment, and at the call of President Lincoln he enlisted with the District volunteers, and, after serving his time, received an honorable dis- charge. In 1865, at the request of Chas. Knap and Geo, W. Riggs and other prominent capi- talists of that time, he took charge of the Na- company, then just or- ganized, as its secretary, which position he has During the old form of gov- ernment he served two terms as a member of the common councils, one term as vice presi- dent, and both terms as chairman of committee on improvements. He is now general grand high priest of the General Grand Chapter of the United States, the highest office in Ma- sonry. COMMISSIONERS iN BUSINESS. Mr. Webb as Attorney for the Gas Com- pany. To the Editor of Tre Evesixe Star: When the present civil Commissioners took office it was understood that they completely severed those business relations which might be supposed to compromise or embarrass them in acting as representatives of the general pub- lic. Indeed, they either made or permitted to be made representations to this effect. It was understood, for instance, that Mr. Wheatley had withdrawn from the lumber firm of which he had been a member, and no one felt that he had a right to charge that one of the Commissioners was personally interested in the profits of a firm which was furnishing lumber for District public buildings, and whose profits might be affected by a proposed amendment of the lien law, upon the merits of which this Commis- sioner in the capacity of a representative of the people was called upon to pass. But in his evi- dence before the Taulb committee Mr, Wheatley testified not only that he was before he became a Commissioner but that he still isa member of this lumber firm.and the information came as a surprise to the public, who had not dreamed that he had permitted the public in- md his private interests to come so directly into conflict as controlling influences of official action, So in Mr. Webb's case. it was supposed that he had entirely cut loose from his position as legal servant of the rail- way and gas corporations whose intérests come so frequently and so strongly into collision with those of the public. But it appears that this is not the fact. Ina recent controversy between the gas company and a citizen | latter the following letter: Wasuincton, February 25, 1889, e Washington Gas me your letter of Fe considered t Gent ht company has referred to Sd inst.

President Hewett Prepared to Capture Him in New York. Base ball lies dormant in Washington and will only be revived by the arrival of John Ward, captain. which is expected to occur at any moment. Walter Hewett is sitting, so to speak, on a pier post at NewYork with his eyes strained toward the eastern horizon, and has an infinite number of ideas in his head. He w a sphynx, and is really attract- ing as much notice from the admirers of the sport as Ward himself. In fact, it seems settled that Ward is coming with money in his eye, and that Hewett is waiting with money in his pocket. The general opinion of the outcome of the meeting of the two is that Ward will be a Senator Rees peer the season of ’89. Indeed, so deep- rooted is that sentiment here that all arrange- ments for the season in this city are practically suspended until he comes to straighten things out. The sale of Dgily leaves right field un- covered, and no one is sure who will go there. The choice probably lies between Shoch, Sweeney and Haddock. The failure of the attempt to secure the services of Johnson from Columbus makes it a little uncertain who will be the guardian of third base, but, as Secretary Burket said this morning, they are looking out for men all the time, although they have no one in mind definitely. O’Brien has signed, but it is by no means certain that he will grace the Senatorial ranks, TO BEGIN PRACTICE. The men have been ordered to report for duty next Wednesday, and Ebright, Clark, O'Day, Keefe and Shoch are already here. Ferson and Carney will have arrived by Mon- day, and the others will no doubt be here on time. The grounds are not yet in shape, the recent rains having postponed the arrange- ments there. The plate has been twisted around a little, so that the left field has been lengthened about twenty feet, and the right field shortened correspondingly. THE EXHIEITION series opens a week from Monday at Baltimore, where the team plays two games. They will then return and play here until the opening of the regular season, THE WHITNEY MATTER is still without settlement, and a huge indiffer- ence isto be seen in the manners of those around the local headquarters in regard to the outcome Mr. Burket expressed the situation thus this morning: “Last year was Whitney's year; this year is our year.” This means that the local managers feel that they can afford to wait and do nothing until the long man comes to terms. President Young has received the contract of C. E, Buckley with the Indianapolis team. —— THE TENNIS SEASON. Preparations for Active Spring Work. As the crocuses are poking their heads out the ground, it may be expected that tennis men are beginning to consider plans for the coming season. During the next weck the various courts throughout the city will probably be raked and rolled, and, if the weather permits, playing can be begun ina short time. During the winter there has been no opportunity for practice, as such a thing as a covered court is not known here. Some of the players have made use of the ship-house at the navy-yard, and several games have been played. Messrs, Davidson and Metcalf have played Messrs, Woodward and Pope in this court, but these players say that the only advantage to be de- rived from playing on a board floor is the exer- cise, THE GROUNDS on Connecticut avenue, near Dupont circle, which were used last year as a tennis court by Mr. Edwardes, of the British legation, and others, have been prepared for use this sea- son. Mr. Berry, Mr. Stevens and other well- known players Were in the habit of playing | there last year, and some of the most closely | contested games of the season were witnessed on these courts, The two courts have been thoroughly rolled and as soon as the ground is dry they will be ready for use. NO GENERAL CLUB. It is probable that tennis-playing will be con- fined this year to the courts of the various clubs, as the attempt made to secure grounds for a general club proved to be a failure. The players interested in this project have not much hope of ever being able to carry it out, owing to the impossibility of securing a suita- ble location, THE SPRING TOURNAMENT of the Southern association will be held about the 30th of May, and/it is expected that it will prove to be one of the finest tennis contests ever held here. The number of players in this city have largely increased during the past ae and naturally the average of skill is igher. he members of the “S street club” of last year will hoid a meeting to-night to discuss the Subject of reorganization and also the adoption of a name. a GEORGETOW Improvements.—Plans for a three-story press and ornamental brick dwelling, with astore on the ground floor, have been made and are in the bands of Messrs, Gaskins & Harper, the contractors. When completed the building will be occupied by Mr. Charles McCarthy, for whom it is being erected, at the corner of 34th and M streets. There will be about fifteen large rooms with modern improvements. The store is to be 13 feet by 20 feet. The cost of the building will be something over 25,000. | Messrs, Gaskins & Harper, contractors, have begun the demolition ot the old house 1073 324 street, und on the site they will erect for Mr. G. W.
