Steel rakes, 25) sa ENGINEERS’ LICENSES. Attorney Hazleton’s Opinion As to the Law of ‘Revenue Therefrom. Several days ago the Commissioners re- quested the attorney for the District to furnish an opinion on the question whether or not they could charge a fee each time a license for steam engineers was granted, or whether the license fee was only chargeable when the original li- cense was granted or transferred to » higher class. Attorney Hazleton today submitted his opin- ion, in which he says: The act to regulate steam engineering in the District of Columbia (vol. 24, page 427) does not come within the classification of laws for revenue. It was designed by Congress as & measure for the protection of human life and the security of property endangered by the use of defective steam boilers and the employ- ment of steam engincers ignorant and unsuit- able for the execution of #0. important a trust. ‘The purpose of the law, then, naturally sug- gests the answer to your question as to whether the fee required by section 4 is the only license fee that can be charged to the license so long as he shall hold a license issued to him under said act by the Commissioners of the District of Columbia. In my judgment one license to an applicant for license as steam engineer is all that is con- templated by the law, and whether he should be entitled to this or not, is made to depend upon his capacity to stand the test imposed by section two and to tarnish the testimonials re- quired by section three of the act. If he does this his license follows as a matter of course and when delivered to him is the le- gal evidence of his authority and competency to engage in the business of steam engineering in the Distrietof Columbia. It is his diplofaa, 80 to speak, as steam engineer. It cannot be transferred to any other person and can only be revoked for cause, and a spe- cial cause for revocation is expressed in section 5 of the act itself, which isin the nature of a forfeiture by the voluntary act of the licensee. If the licensee is promoted or transferred to igher class, as referred to in your commu- nication, I cannot see that such promotion or classification can have any effect upon license granted pursuant to this law. j.ceantncocikortioee Pleasant Speeches by Women.

Tho Santley concert at the Academy of Music last night was well attended and the program was thoroughly enjoyed.

Mrs. Young is a woman of great personal beauty and possesses a 80- prano, voice of wide range end exceptional purity of tone.

The regular annual meeting of the First Con- gregational Society was held at the church, cor- ner 10th and G streets, last evening at7 o'clock. The trustees and treasurer presented printed reports, both of which showed the affairs of the society to be ina very prosperous condition. The treasurer's report showed the receipts for pew rents for the year to have been @5,354.71, being a considerable increase over previous years. The receipts from weekly offerings through envelopes are $1,878.48 in addition to the open plate collections, which amount to $1,804.80, the latter being an increase over last year of about 833¢ per cent and indicating » large increased attendance. Dr. Geo. Ewing was chosen wing president of the society for the ensuing year and Prof. G. J. Cummings e was re-elected clerk, while Mr. Tom nd Mr. Jerome F. Johnson were itors. The only trustee whose term of office expired was that of Mr. A. M. Lothrop, and he was unanimously re-elected for another term of three years. ‘Mr. Elphonzo Youngs, who has already served ten years as treasurer, was again re-elected. While a spiritof prudence and eee seemed to pervade the meeting, yet Priations voted for expenditures during the coming year were of a liberal character, amounting to about $13,000. A considerable inereaso was made in, the amount voted for pulpit supply during the pastor's vacation, a1 Heeaten | appropriation was voted for the alteration of the choir gallery to provide for a Jarge chorus choir, the regular appropriation for music being $1,800. ‘The meeting was very harmonious and all seemed to rejoice in the growth and prosperity of the church under its present pastorate.

D., having now been with the chureh for over six years they feel that his work and leadership have long since passed the experimental stage and that continued prosperity is assured. ALEXANDRIA. BRICK WORKS DESTROYED. At o'clock this morning the alarm of the fourth ward was given on the town bells for a fire at the Capital brick works, owned by Agnew & Harlow, on Hunting creck at the north end of Washington street. The flames had caught to the woodwork of the drying house and by the time the firemen reached the place all the woodwork of the place was in flames and the fire, fanned by a brisk wind from creek, not only made a great furnace in the hollow, but climbed the hill and set fire toa shed on top that the destruction was complete. ‘The fire- men by playing upon the machinery saved that insome'degree from warping under the ex- cessive heat. The yards were opened some ten years ago and were afterward sold out to M. B. Harlow and Park Agnew, who have of late been doing quite a successful business there. ‘The loss cannot now be determined, but may reach $20,000. CITY COUNCIL—NO ENGINEER YET. The city councils held their regular meetings last night, authorized the use of half the dock foot of King street for the new buildings of the ferry company, and ordered that no burials of persons who died out of the corporation should be hereafter made in the public ceme- tery. The members from the fourth ward made a vigorous effort to secure an appropria- tion of $800 to put crossings on most of the intersections at the southwest section of the city, but after a debate the matter was referred to the committee on streets. ‘The ordinance for the creation of the office of chief engineer was discussed until 11 p.m. and then laid over until the next meeting of the boards.
