In relation to said bill Tax Star of the 16th instant says: “The Commissioners say that their reason for asking for this legislation 18 due to the tact that under the old corporation laws ef the city of Washington it was possible to open an condemnation,” but that Jer the present form of government in the District of Columbia this law has become obxo- 4» as there is no successor to the mayor. law, while in operation, seemed to work re ual se it Was under a municipal government by the peopie, invested with both legislative and cutive powers. Bat I quote as above to call attention to the inadequaes said bill to the object appar- ently contemplated. ‘The eutire bili reads as follows: “That the Commissioners of the District of Columbia, as to the ordinance of the late corporation of Washington in regard to opening and extend- ing alleys, approved November 4, 1842, be, and ney are hereby declared to be, the legal suc- ‘or of the aid corporation, and empowered as fhe mayor was to open, alter or change.” jut the mayor never had the power to open, alter of change. That authority was vested in the legislative branch of the city government, and the mayor performed merely « ministerial duty after the requisite law on the subject had been seed by the board of aldermen and won council, with a view to ascertain © amount of damages to Le paid out of the ward fund and to be reimbursal But we have no ward fand now, and, further- more, even if the mayor had been’ invested with the power that the Commissioners now crave, the Lill would give them no jurisdiction in the matter in Georgetown cr in the suburbs, ashis jurisdiction was not coextensive with that of the Commissioners. Besides ail this, and much more, this method of obteining power by indirection takes from the mass of our pecple all means of anaceurate knowledge of the law, as the old semi-ceutennial ordinances are now generally’ inaccessible; anc it tends still further, if possi- ble, to compheate cur absurd system of laws and government.

In the common council the chair de- clared that as a sufficient number was not present at the last meeting to pass the ordi- hance continuing the right of way of the Alex- andria and Fairfax Kailroad Company through the streets, the vote tien taken was to be con- sidered as informal. Another vote was there- upon taken aud the ordinauce passed unaui- mously. An ordinance increasing the salary of the city treasurer to $400 per annum was intro- duced and referred, as was @ proposal to ex- pend $295.50 in repairing the bulkhead at Duke street dock. Several resolutions looking to the repair of streets in the fourth ward were referred, THE AMERICAN COAL WHARF LEASE. The committee on public property has not yet succeeded in disposing of the American coal wharf, which lies idle. An attempt to sell it at £8,000 failed a short time ago, and Mr. John R.’ Zimmerman and the fertitizer and chemical company both offer to rent the prop- erty. Mr. Ziiamerman offers 2300 ver annum, without condition and the fertilizer company offers $500 per annum on condition that an option be given them to buy the wharf at £6,000 within ten years. Further negotiations with both parties are expected. THE PHILLIPS CASE.

Leahy Was Acquitted. ‘Mrs. Cassie Leahy was on trial in Judge Kim- ball’s court today charged with selling liquor to minors, the particular minor being a small colored boy named Joseph Smith. Mra. Leahy keeps a saloon in South Warhington at the cor- ner of Gthand K streets, where, the police say, liquor is sold at 5 cents drink.

The trustees of the National Homeopathic Hospital have recently refurnished the free ward and named it the Nordhoff ward, in honor of Mrs, Charles Nordhoff, whose efforts very largely established the hospital and whose de- votion to its work since has been untiring. ‘This testimonial to ber zeal was determined upon by the trustees soon after Mra, Nordhoff went to California to reside, It has been but recently finished, and now all the six beds in it are occupied, The ward presents & most attractive appearance. Everything in it is white, the walls, the curtains and all the furniture. The beds are of iron. painted white and of the most approved form.

HORRIBLE SCi EW WORMS, Sometimes They Attack Human Beings and Occasion Awful Trouble. So long as those objectionzble creatures known as “screw worms,” which are the larvae of a species of fly, confine their attacks to do- mestic animals the damage they do may be endured with a moderate degree of patience. Oceasionslly, however, they assail human beings, with the most painful and sometimes fatal results. ‘Ihe winged insect finds a person sleeping out of doors and lays its eggs in the mouth or nostrils, Subsequently the worms are hatched out and proceed to feed upon the tissues. Such a case is referred to in the last number of “Inseet Life,” published by the Department of Agriculture. The victim was a lady who spent last sum- mer on a farm ten iniles from St. Louis. Op- posite the farm was a sheep pasture. Sheep, it will be remembered, arc tie animals most frequently attacked by screw worms. One day Mrs. A., as she may be called, was seized with violent’ and continnous sneezing fits and in forty-cight Lours she was in great distress, with face, nose and throat much swollen, ‘The doctor, however, was unable to distinguish the symptoms from those of severe influenza. 4 HORRIBLE Discovery. On the morning of the fourth day Mra. A.’s husband appeared early at the doctor's office and said with horror that his wife had in sneez- ing expelled from her nose two or three white worms, A distinguished surgeon was sum- moned for consultation and by the aid of mir- rors the interior cavities bebind the nose and mouth were examined. By these means it was discoverd that smail white larvec were attached by their mouth hooks to the mucous membrane ail over the inside passages. Forceps and tweezers were brought into requizition and with much difficulty twenty-five or thirty of the worms were exiracted. Considerable force hnd to be used, because chloroform and carbolized fluid had no eifect to make them loosen their hold. Indeed, upon being disturbed, they would contract o us to almost bury themselves in the inflamed and bieeding tissues. The suf- ferings of the patient from the parasites and the surgical operations can better be imagined than deseribed. ‘Three times a day for as many days the phy- sicians worked at the removal of the larva,until they had more tian 200 in alcohel. Sorae of these w from behind the tonsil: en- of sight, by means of peculiarly curved forceps di ‘ted with the most a rae uutomy of tue parts, In the 1 mania bad developed and her attenda lncantime the suiferer entr lowed to et ching to prevent suicide, circumstances, is not at all surprising. RELIEF AT LAST. On the eighth day no more worms could be discovered and the paticnt seemed greatly re lieved. ‘The inflarmation rapidly subsided, and in the course of a few weeks recovery was complete. In the ordinary course of hatuce these worms fall to the ground ay fvon as they are full grown, go into the chrysallis condition and come out later in the shape of winged flics, which loge no time after mating in laying their eggs in some such suitable place for their in- cubation as the nostrils of a sheep. As to the origin of the attack deseribed, Dire. A. had an indistinct recollection of having been disturbed while taking a daytime nap in a hammock, but could not recall ‘the fact that any insect at- tempted to enter her nose. People sometim die from this complaint, while others recover with great mutilation of the parts attacked, ‘The moral of tue story is that it is not pradent to sleep out of doors during the day with tho face uncovered. ——_s—_ Sedgwick Command's Installation. A special meeting of Sedgwick Command, No. 3, Union Veterans’ Union, Department of the Potomac, was hold last night to perfect the final arrangements for the annual meeting of the command, which will take place at the Hamline M.

THE LIQUOR LICENSE BILL. In response to a request from Senator Me- Millan the Commissioncrs today forwarded a draft of a bill covering the subject of licensing the sale of intoxicants in the District of Colum- bia. With afew minor changes this isa copy of the bill introduced at the last session. ‘The Cominissioners cre not a unit in reporting this Dill. Commissioner Donglass has ideas of his own relating to the traffic of liquor, which are not shared ‘by the other Commissioners, 60 that to carry out his ideas he has submitted a bill of his own in the shape of a minority report, which he asks to have intro- duced. One of the features of this later bill is » section relating to the licensing of clubs. Commissioner Douglass thinks that | all clubs which have a bar attached and gets profit from the sale of liquors should be placed upon the same footing as a regular suloon keeper. On this point. especially, the other Commissioners did not agree. In maintaining his position on this section Commissioner Douglass urges the necessary legislation for the Purpose of preventing the establishing of clubs tor the purpose of getting around the liquor Jaw. He has strong hopes that the license fee at least will be raised, and thinks that while would drive many men out of the i temptation for club houses instead and thereby defeat the purpose of the law. AGAINST THE SUBURBAN RAILWAY DILL. At the early beard meeting this merning the Commissioners took up for final consideration and report Senate bill 709 to incorporate the District of Columbia Suburban Railway Com- pany.

PROPOSED GiFT OF HAY SCALES. Several monthe ago Mr. W. H. Wylie re- quested permission of “the Commissioners to ‘buy and set a new hay scale in front of the Maryland House on 7th street above Flor- ida avenue, the same to become the property of the District after two years. ‘Ihe attorney for the District, in an opinion rendered today, holds that these scales can only be accepted by the District asa rift, to fall uuder the provis-4 ions of existing law from the time they are accepted, because it is only in that way that the public cun be protected against frauds and errors in commercial transactions such as the law contemplates. Mr. Frank Aldrich, the venlcr of weights and mcasures, referring to the request of Mr. Wylie, says that it would be unjust to accept Lis senics during the time for which the old scales a little farther down 7th street is rented. —_ THE HOUSE RULES, Ex-Speaker Reed Argues Against the New Code Presented by the Committee, The House yesterday took up the considera- tion of the proposed new code of rules. Mr. Catchings of Mississippi called up the re- port of the commitiee ou rules, containing the Proposed new code of rules, general debate being limited to eeven hours. Mr. Catchings made brief explanation of the mew code, stating that it was composed substantially of the rules governing the Fiftieth Congress, the modifications being in the interest of the dis- patch of business and a retrenchment of pub- lic expenditures, SPEAKING FOR THE MINORITY. Mr. Reed criticised the proposcd rules and extolled the rules of the Vilty-first. €ongress. As far as the introduction of bills was con- cerned the proposed changes would result ina c tiou of the time of the House, an nee to. members und an exceeding irre He sarcastic: advo for consiacration a report from the committee on ruies, and pendmg the consideration the Speiker may eutertarn one motion to adjourn, but after the result is announced he shall not entertain any other dilatory motion. He was glad to know that it had ceased to be at committee to present bills ation of the House. But even this advance was onesided. Under the pro- posed rule whenever the committee on rules Wished to cut off filibustering it could do 80; and it was right thatit should. But the ma- jority of the House should at all times have the sume right. Under the rule the minority might except where the commitice on rules tock the initiative. ‘The minority was sacred when it had the committee rules on its side, and it was of no account when the committee was opposed to it. The House hada right at one time to insist that obstruetion to its onward march of legisla- tion should be moved out of the way. ‘lhe Speaker of the House (the organ of the major- iiy and of the Honse) should have not only the right, bat the duty devolved upon him to sup- press flibustering, just ashe Lud the right to suppress any other disturbance that might oc- cur, The questions which the peopie presented ight to be decided by their Representatives, It was not necessary for him to discuss the question of what constituted a quorum in the jouse.

LIQUOR IN ALASKA An Interesting Discussion on Senator Dolph’s Bill—Senator Kyle Talks Plainly. Senator Dolph was in deep distress yesterday. The Voice, a prohibition paper, had attacked him for introducing a bill which proposes to legalize the sale of liquor in Alaska, and the Senator from Oregon called attention to the assault in the Senate. At considerable length he told of his interest and experience in Alaskan matters and with fervor he appealed to the Senate not to imagine for a moment that he Was friend to the liquor sellers who dispense colin varnish in that somewhat remote terri- tory. ‘The Senator said he proposed the enact- ment of a inw that could be enforced. Prohi- bition in Alaska was impracticable; it had no force, for two reasons: No jury that could be impaneled would convict, and then the officers of the law were too few to be effective. He Propose, in the bill which had been criticised, to abolish jury trials in cases where the license law was flactured. To assist in making the seizures which might be necessary the govern- | ment ofticers were to be authorized to summon ‘@ posse Comitatus.

LIQUOR AND xoRONISM. “I do not,” said Senator Kyle, “charge the Senator from Oregon with one wrong motive in the introduction of this bill, and I would defend him fromany malicious attack such as that which has! been printed in the Voice, to which he has referred, but, at the same time, 1 do think it is a mistake for us to stand paralyzed, as it were, and say that it is impos- sbie to entorcea law of the United States government in the presence of 4,100 people. “A parallel case to this would be the existence of Mormonism in the territory of Utah.

The tow boat Webster and two scows belong- ing to the department of street cleaning of New York drifted out to sea yesterday morning and for a long time grave apprehension was felt for the safety of the crew of the Webster and of the xty odd Italians employed upon the scow. ‘This apprehension was partially allayed in the afternoon upon the receipt of @ dispacch to the effect that the Webster and the scows had been rescued off Fire Island. The tugs Webster and Nichols, each -towing two scows loaded with refuse, started ont to sea to the dumping grounds early yesterday morn- ing. A heavy sea was running and the wind was blowing furiously, which caused the little steamers to labor considerably in the heavy seaway. When off Kockaway Beach the to ing haweer of the Webster fouled her screw disabling the vessel, and she was rapialy driven out to sea by the high wind. The Nichols, seeing the predicament of her com- panion vessel, anchored her tow, upon which there were about seventy-five Italian laborers, in Gravesend bay, and’ started to assist the Webster. Her efforts to tow the drifting vessels, were however, futile, and she finally abandoned them and her uwn tow and ran up to the city tor aid, ‘The Nichols’ captain reported that the Ital- jans on the scows were terror stricken, and they had just cause to be. ‘They were on ‘open scows in a high rea amid a terrific gale, and | the day was bitterly cold, too. It was prob- able tuat at any momei ‘they might be blown shed off the scows and drowned, The ja taid that it was impossible for him to approceb the scows which bud been anchored without endangering his own boat and tho scows because the waves and wind were so Several tugs wero at once sent out by the reet-cleauing department to search for the Webster, while two others were dispatched to Gravesend bay.
