Hon. A. G. Riddle, attorney for the District, and Mr. Henry E. Davis, the assistant attorney, today forwarded to the Commissioners their res- ignations, which have been accepted, Mr. Rid- die’s resignation takes effect December 1, and that of Mr. Davis November 1, The announce- ment of the resignations made today caused quite & sensation at the District buildings. It has been expected for some days that there would be important changes made among the District officials, and Taz Stag recently stated the fact, but it was not generally known what changes were to occur, - THE LETTERS OF RESIGNATION. Mr. Riddle’s letter of resignation, dated to- day, was addressed to the president of the board of Commissioners and simply stated: “I beg to resign the office of attorney for the District of Columbia, to take effect on the Ist day of December next ensuing.” Mr, Davis’ letter, also dated today, said: “Thereby tender my resignation of the of- fice of assistant attorney of the District of Columbia, to take effect November 1, Con- sideration of very personal interests long since commended this step tome, andI have re- frained from taking it only for a reason no longer existing, I shall remember with pleasure my relations to the office,and beg to express my high appreciation of the uni- form courtesy end consideration of which I have been the recipient at the hands of your- selves and your predecessofs and the associates a tog in the administration of the District Mr. Riddle is the oldest in service of the District officials, having been appointed to his | papacy office in November, 1877. Mr. Davis - ree office of assistant attorney since WHAT THEY SAY, When « Stax reporter called this afternoon at the office of Messrs, Riddle & Davis, on Louisiana avenue, and asked regarding the — leading to the resignation, Mr. Davis said: ‘Certain communications between Mr. Rid- dle and the Commissioners recently have in- duced Mr. Riddle to believe that it is best that he should sever his relations with the District government, and accordingly he has ay his_ office, to take effect on the first of December. When I be- came aware of this situation I at once tendered my resignation to take «ffect on the first of November. In an interview with the Commissioners they expressed a de- sire that the severance of our relations with the District should be simultaneous that I should defer leaving office until the Ist of De- cember, but I preferred to stand by my original determination to withdraw the lst of November. While there is some work in the office that can- not properly be closed until the first of Decem- r, there is no real reason why I_ should not be relieved from official duties on the first of November and accordingly we presented our several res- ignations to take effect on the separate dates.” HOW MR. RIDDLE TOOK OFFICE. Mr. Riddle, speaking to Tae Srax reporter,said that he was moved to take the office in the fall of 1877 by Commissioner Dennison, Phelps and Ketchum. About four years ago, he said, after the conclusion of litigation in very important © cases, he thut it would be a to close his official relations with the District, but the Commissioners refused then’ to entertain such @ proposition from him, Mr. Riddle said also that recently the Commissioners have been preparing a number of rooms at the District building for the occu- pancy of the attorney, with the view of re- quiring the business of the office to be conducted there. This, he said, would make it impossible for him to continue in the office. joth Mr. Davis and Mr. Riddle said the ex- actions made recently upon the attorney's of- fice were such as to compel them to with- Ww. Mr. Riddle said he had deferred the date of his departure from office to such a time as would enable him to close up affairs ending in his office, which might embarrass ‘is successor. He intended to stand by the Commis- sioners in the case in which they were under indictment—the South Washington railway case, and did not propose to let any Dis- trict interest suffer by his retirement so far as he could help it, Mr. Riddle said the communications with the Commissioners that had induced him to resign were of a verbalcharacter. He was convinced by what was said to him that it was best that he should resign at this time. MR. RIDDLE’S SUCCESSOR, The name of Mr. George Hazleton, ex-Rep- resentative from Wisconsin, who was mentioned prominently as a candidate for Commissioner when Mr. Douglass was appointed is spoken of as one who may succeed Mr. Riddle. Mr. Hazle- ton, it is said, will meet opposition reform those who think that a District lawyer, conned in practi efore the District Courts and familiar with District law, should be ap- pointed, A PERMIT CLERK DISMISSED. A Charge That he Received Fees and Made No Return. * The officials in the District buildings were thrown into a state of excitement this morning by the report that Permit Clerk McDevitt of the water department had been removed for alleged misconduct in office. There is a regulation of the Commissioners in vogue requiring that plumberd shali deposit $15 for each cut made in the pavement for the purpose of making excavations in streets for house connections, This deposit is to secure the proper repair of the pavement after the connection is made. Another regulation of the Commissioners requires that no officer or employe of the District government other than the collector of taxes shall receive any money on the District’s account for any p = pose. It is charged that Mr. McDevitt last July persuaded a plumber by the name of Dessez to pay him $50 as a de: for seven cuts instead of $105, as the regulations require, and made no return of the money. It is also alleged that he has been in the habit of getting loans from lurabers doing business wit his _of- ice, The matter was first called to the attention of Capt. sk, who, after a artial investigation of the affair, recommended cDevitt’s dismissal. The recommendation has been approved by the Commissipners, This ateg | the matter was thoroughly dis- cussed by the Commissioners. Prosecuting Attorney Shillington was at the investigation and the matter was placed in his hands for action. Mr. McDevitt is at present on leave, ————_—— Real Estate Matters. H. M.

But the Business of the Pension Office Goes On About as Usual, The delay in filling Commissioner Tanner's Position has not lessened the interest of the pension office officials in the coming man. The situation is very generally discussed and there are a good many rumors, but no definite infor- mation. Every day furnishes a new candidate, who is thought to be sure of the appointment. In the mean- time the work of the office is going on and those who have business there instead of going to the room lately occupied by Mr. Tanner find their way to the room of Acting Commissioner Smith. The appearance of things in Mr. Tanner's room remains about the same as when the cor- poral was the presiding genius, His daughter still guy as) the desk in the corner of the roum to the left of where the commissioner's desk is located. He is still commissioner as far as the salary is concerned and his m: attended to by his stenographer, who goes to his house on George- town Heights every day for that —— It is said that Mr. Tanner has made no plans for the future, but he will probably continue to occupy his home in Georgetown for some time. ACTING COMMISSIONER SMITH, who ts the first deputy commissioner, is like Mr, Tanner in the particular that he is minus two limbs. In Mr. Smith’s case it is an arm end leg and in Mr. Tanner's case it is both legs. Mr. Smith told a Srag reporter today that the business of the office was going on smoothly, Gen. Bussey, the assistant secretary of the interior, has received a rey of the work done by the pension office during the month of September, which shows that a larger number of pension cases were settled during the past month than during either of the two previous months, Gen. Bus- sey called attention to the fact that the num- ber of cases of original pensions granted were largely in excess of the reissues, a condition of things, be said, which was not true some time ago. ae DISTRICT GOVERNMENT.

The connection made, he said, was only a temporary one, and was made the day it was discovered by the gas company’s men. He was willing to enter a plea of guilty in the case, and thought a fine of $20 or $25 would cover the offense. Judge Miller said that in im the penalty he did not want it understood as alicense for the illegal consumption of but asa preventive.
