Various Criticisms and Suggestions in Be- gard to the Evil, To the Editor of The Evenine Star: ‘The garbage question seems to absorb public | attention as much as ever. Indeed it will not down, bat, like Banquo’s ghost, is ever rising to haunt the people. There is no one question that has oceupied so much of public attention | the past year as the collection of garbage, and judging from the way it is now being collected it will occupy still more attention in the future. | Some time ago the Senate District committee tackled the question, but after wrestling with it off and on for six months cried “enough” and threw up the sponge. Itis a tough question —— to get the better of all that meddle with it. . F te ec ne bg is much easier to find fault than to do the work or suggest a practical remedy for the present disgraceful condition of things, and would remain silent were it not for the Vereen annoyance I have had and the injury the present delinquency is causing the public health. I have not been able to procure the removal of garbage from my residence but twice during the past two months. About three weeks ago 8 garbage collector called in answer to a com: int. He had with him an assistant with a two-horse wagon and ten barrels. I was asked | to sign a paper stating that the gar! had been taken, and when I asked why he did not call at other houses in the neighborhood his re only collecting from from which complaints have been And this is the way the time of these garbage coilectors is wasted, answering in- dividual complaints, while they pass right by —— where there is the same cause of com- plaint. I would not add to the burdens of my friend Clark. the contractor. It seems too bad that he should have so much work pat upon him. The duties of engineer at the War Department and the work of executing a five years garbage contract are too much to impose upon any one man, besides it is never safe to uni to serve two masters. It is difficult to be loyal to both. Ido not forget, however, the assurance given by the chief clerk of the health depart- ment before the Commissioners inst fall, when he said: “Mr. Clark bas a friend at court who through no matter how many po- sitions he holds and in spite of all opposition.” I presume this fiat was so firmly impressed upon the Commissioners that they felt war- ranted in awarding this five years contract to Mr.Clark, though the imposing of such onerous double duties upon any one man, no matter how able he ma} would seem to be in con- flict with a wise civil service system. While condoling with the garbage contractor, the health officer and the health officiais gen- erally and assuring them, one and all, of my sympathy in their trials, duty requires me to make a few plain statments of facts. for collecting garbage at 15,000 per year.

His contract for this extra ‘The Commissioners paid him for work in July without any other, thongh «till requiring him to do the ex- tra work. for which Congress had made an extra | ion, but which they declined to pay | him. In the meantime the garbage of the city had doubled over that of any previous August, the enormous crops of fruits and veg tables that were thrown upon the market. It was under such a condition of things that Dr. Hammett entered upon the duties of health officer.

A neatly dressed men, Harris Freedman, was before Judge Miller this morning on the charge of anaseault on Meyer Gelson. It was testified for the complainant that defendant wanted get married and engaged him to find a girl, which he did, and he (Freedman) made her a| present, and Gelson demanded pay for his services. Mr. Freedman acknowledged an en-| gagement with the girl, and stated that Gelson | demanded payment for his services, which he | refused, and he then talked about him and the | match was broken off and he asked Gelson | about it, when he threatened him. ‘The case was dismissed. acieeeeman ‘The Death of Mr. Wm. H. Fuller. Mr. Wm. H. Fuller, oldest son of Edward Hand Emily Foller, died at his home in Hy-| atteville yesterday at 6:30 o'clock. He was past | master of Mount Herman Lodge and officer of | the day in Warren Post, No. 45,G.A.R. He| ‘was born on the 16th day of December, 1839, in the District, and was educated at the Columbia | College. He left here at an early age to take a | special course in nautical engineering. ‘He took | € National Kitles, of which he was a charter | member, for three months’ service in the late | war, but was ordered on board the Susquehanna | before his time had expired. | He was discharged on account ill health after serving on board this vessel for a brief period, | his ill health being brought about b: in the battle of Port Royal and th: ton Head, as wellgas other minor battles in which he took an’ active and honorable part. | Upon retiring from the navy he was gi Position in the War rtment, which he re- | tained up to the time of his late illness which Fesulted in his death. ‘Mr. Fuller was a prominent Mason, not only | in Hyattsville, but was also an officer of the grand lodge of the state. He was a prominent member of the Pinkney Memorial Church, Hy-| a Head With a Brick. About 5:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon an | altercation took place between Edward Love-| Jess, a young white man, and Hyghdean Dade, | eolored, in King’s court, between 26th, 27th, | EK and L streets northwest. Loveless was | struck with a half brick and knocked senseless | and on being taken to the Emergency Hospital it was found that his skull was fractured. Dade was arrested by Oficer Hanze and the case was | heard this morning. when it was testified that Dade and a white man came in the alley and Dade offered to fight and finally they put on ‘the gloves and the result was that Dade threw the brick. It was testified by Dr. Woodward that the wound is serious and Loveless should | be under treatment. | The court said that he would not dispose of the case until be was out of danger and ad- vised bim to return to a hospital and subject | Bimself to medical treatment.

Mr. Draney was ordered to put on thirty extra teams. at’an extra cost to him of not less than $100 per day, for which he was notified he would receive no pay and also that he would be required to pay for ten inspectors whose business seemed to be to embarrass and break him down rather than assist in the collection of garbage. It was then that Mr. Clark appeared upon the scene. Mr. Draney threw up his contract, and Mr. Clark was allowed to put on teams at $5.50 per day, and was allowed #8 per day extra for col- lecting dead animals that Mr. Draney had col- lected without charge, they being worth a pre- mium, as had been shown. In this way the ex- penses were run up to about seven times what they had previously been, resulting in using uj the entire annual appropriation and causing deficiency of $29,000 in the short space of four months, ‘This large expenditure without an appropris- tion was a flagrant violation of law, but the Commissioners justified their conduct on the ground that an emergency existed, and Con- gress by appropriating the money to cover the deficiency seems to have indoréed their action. Now why not put on fifty wagons and ten extra inspectors to gather up complaints at the present time? The same emergency exists, and there is as much law for such action as there was one year ago. ‘There can be no excuse after the experience of last year for the present condition of things. The health officer und the contractor knew what toexpect when August should come. There is not one-half the garbage there was a year ago. ‘They have had a whole year in which to m: preparation. Why are they not prepared for the emergency? and why is not Mr. Clark held to his contract as strictly as Mr. Draney was, especially as he is receiving $9,000 per year more than was allowed Mr. Dr: Now there are no inspectors at all employed. If ten were put on I will guarantee they would have no trouble in gathering up two complaints for every one obtained last year. A few days ago Dr. Hammett in an interview with a Stag reporter gave Coutractor Clark a severe hauling over the coals for his delin- quency, buta day or two later he neutralized thathe previously suid by charging that zens were making bogus complaints. This is a serious charge, which should not be made without abunant proof. If true let us have the names of the bogus complainants. People must be very wicked who, daring such an emergency. resort to that kind of business. ‘The contractor is required by his contract to -all at private residences for garbage three times per week. t Saturday week, after | having waited ten days for the garbage col- lector to call, the weather being the hottest rknown in Washington, so hot that we could not burn the garbage.as wehad previously done, I started out in search of a garbage cart. I succeeded in finding some countrymen with permits to collect garbage given by the health ofticer, though the announcement was made some time ago that no such permits would be given. They all refused unless well paid to take my garbage, but late in the afternoon I caught on toa corporation cart, the driver of which after taking the garbage assured me he would not be able to call again under a week or tgn days. He has not called since, and I guese ii make good his word. The collection of garbage could be greatly facilitated if the collectors on entering an alley would stop the cart while they go up ahd down ither side of the alley and first notify people of their presence. There is an old’ um nance that requires citizens, $5, to place their garbage places on orabout the premises as may nated by the ward commissioner, in order to facilitate its speedy rgnoval.” [Web 287.

To the Editor of The Evening Star: Have the Commissioners and all authorities concerned gone insane over the garbage ques- tion? Instead of pressing the contractor to do his work in a business-like way and as agreed to they approve regulations which would be simply ridiculous, if they were not oppressive. The contractor complains that his men cannot get at the garbage or else it would be properly re- moved. Now I wish the general testimony of householders cou'd be given just to see how true this complaint is. As a specimen I will give my own experience. The garbage enn on my premises is perfectly accessible—all the col- lector has to do is simply to walk in from the street and go around the house to the middle of the back yard, where the can (most approved kind, cost @2.50) is in plain view and usually full. There is no door, gate or other obstruc- tion. But weeks and sometimes months pass without a call from the collector. I think he has not been there three times in the last three years without being first sent for. Last Friday and this only after I had sent in two urgent requests by mail. But here come the new regulations—that every householder shall put his garbage either out in the alley or at the front door, #o a8 to be “accessible atall hours,” &c. That is, if the lot is along one or the alley is distant, the mistress or servant must go perhaps 75 or 100 feet through the hot sunshine every time u little garbage is to be put into the can, thus making the can so inaccessible that it is of little use to the house- keeper: and, in practice, it would often be found that the can had been upset, battered or stolen by the carts or gumins that fre- quent the alleys, Or else (and in case the premises have no alley this is the only alternative) the can, with its reeking refuse, must be kept ‘under the front stoops,” to poison the air and outrage the feclings of all who enter the house or wish to sit out front in the evening. If the Commissioners by this do not create a nuisance instead of abating one what shall it be called? And nll this must be done, under penalty of being hnuled before the Police Court and fined. -Perhaps I donot fully understand the situation or the intent of these new regulations, but it seems to me that they are unnecessary and tyrannical, dangerous to health and worthy of the condemnation of good citizens. Why cannot the management of this question be sane and business-like? OwxEn. Wasurxatox, D. C., August 6, 1892. pas cmc Is It a Grim Jdke?

Wallace told Tux Stan corre- spondent today that fully 10,000 or 12,000 vet- erani from the empire state will be in line on Pennsylvania avenue on September 20. There may be even more than that, but the actnal re- ports received at headquarters indicate 10,000 oF 12,000, Of course hundreds of others will be ‘attracted later by reduced railroad fares or tm- | pelled to go by the enthusiasm that is increas- | ing and epreading. By the way, New York is, T believe, the only state that gives the G. A. R. official recognition and contributes to the sup- port of the order. A handsome and Foom is provided in the capitol building here for the state headquarters. It is furnished st the expense of the and heated nnd lighted’ from the ‘state funds, In. addi- tion much of the printing required in the adralnitration ofthe afatre of tha depart ment is done as ic 4 a AR. officials mid today that shout, #500 worth of printing was done aunually for the G. A. R. by the state In other ways the organization been recognized by the laws of the state nd the veterans here are proud of the fact. 80 it happens that the state ‘headquarters are lo- cat ently in Albany ‘and have been since 1487, and are not moved every year, as in tome states, to the city or town that happens to be for the time the residence of the department pte trend ta t der, Theo- ent commander, diva titel stie-aruet Sonera wil s Oa: lant record, resides in Syracuse. ‘There is much te erans have caught the spirit that animated the de t commander when, ina recent order, he urged all to work with a determination that New York should now, as in 1861, send more men {o Washington than any other state. The department will be brigaded in the parade in ten brigades, one for each judicial district and two for New York city. In each brigade the counties will take places in line in aly ical order. The designations of brigade command- ers and other announcements ting the formation of the department in the parade will soon be made in general orders which are now being prepared. DOUBLE FORMATION IN THE PARADE. It is thought here that it will be absolutely necessary to carry out the idea of doubling the Tine in the parade. The calculations made by old paraders at the New York headquarters are that it requires one hour for 8,000 men march- ing twelve abreast, half distance, to pass a given point. If the figuros are correct it is easy to see that one would have to sit for nine hours to see a parade of 70,000 men marching in that order, not to speak of the length of time the veterans would have to be their feet waiting to fall in. The double formation, Assistant Adjutant Gen- about one-half, ‘The great width of Pennsyl- venue, Col. Wallace believes, will easily Permit such a formati on. Much sutisfaction is expressed at state head- quarters with the arrangements made by the citizens’ committee of Washington. The de- partment is kept well supplied with literature from Washington and with maps of the capital ity, so printed and marked as to give much in- formation as to the points of especial interest to the veterans, ‘ NEW YORK MEN IN LINE. It ‘is safe to say that the great department of New York, with its 662 posts and 43,000 mem- bers, will be very creditably represented at the encampment, The New York headquarters will be located at Willard’s. The headquarters train will leave Syracuse so as to reach Wash- ington the night of the 17th of September. COL. PHISTERER AXD RX-GOV. CURTIN. Col, Phisterer, the adjutant general of the G.A.R, speaking of the parade said that marching in the closest order practicable one could not calculate on more than 9,000 men an hour. So he believes it will be necessary to have the double formation. The parade will be so long that all idea of having any other organization but the G. A. R. in line would be out of the question, even if it were not re- garded at headquarters as improper. Col. Phistorer had not read today, when Tue Stan correspondent saw him, the Temarke to have been made by ‘ex-Gov. Andrew Curtin respecting a letter written by Col. Phisterer stating that the Pennsylvania. fe. Associa tion could not be given a place in line. Ex-Gov. Curtin said in a letter to an officer of the reserves: “I do not know the writer of the letter, and never heard of him in connection with the mili- tary service, and cannot but regard his letter as ill-advised and very improper in reply to 8 real soldier. I take it altogether as a remark- able communication, and I regret that he should, as adjutant, feel it to be his duty to make such a communication to you or to any other soldier of t! tate. “I have spoken to some of the survivors of the reserve corps in this neighborhood, and who have never been connected with it, and have told them of my mortification at the letter I now inclose, I will make some effort to correct it in come way if I can, and in the meantime I think it proper for you and Capt. Taylor to let the subject of this communication be known in Philadelphia, as I will through the interior.”" Col. Phistercr said it’ made little difference whether ex-Gov. Curtin ever heard of him as a soldier or not. He was at the front when bul- lets were whizzing. He may have been only a private then, while Curtin was governor of state, but he had not been a ren-gade since. He presumed that Gov. Curtin knew that ‘when an adjutant general wrote in his official capacity he expressed the sentiments and wishes of his commander. So it made little difference who the adjutant general was, In his opinion the personal turn given to the mat~ ter by Mr. Curtin was in extremely bad taste. Asa mniter of fact Col. Phisterer said it wonld be impossible to compiy with the request to ive a place to the Pennsylvania reserves. jual consideration could be claimed by Ohio, Maryland or any other state. The letter writ- ten from headquarters here, and which Gov. Curtin’s remarks refer to, was addressed to the secretary of the Survivors of Pennsylvania Re- serves July 19 last. It said: I have the honor to acknowledge receipt of yours of yesterday and to note contents. In reply would say that these headquarters have nothing to do with the formation of the parade other than by departments, ‘Tye, parade of Pe tember 20, 10 is to be a Grand , pure and simpie, Instructions ha irtment commander io Se-| wroning- 98 the ¥ 28:0.

Pennsylvania railway engineers are now lay- ing out the Georgetown branch of the Alexan- dria and Washington railway. The present survey is being made from “Waterloo” to the south end of the Aqueduct bridge. and it is sajd that the line of the old Alexandria canal will be pursued the greater portion of the way. WHERE DID THE CROWBAE GO? Shortly before noon today one of the em- ployes in the work of removing an old tele- graph pole on King street opposite the Opera House drove his crowbar with more force than usual and it slipped through his hand and went down through the earth. “Gone to —,” said he in astonishment. He was a stranger; did not know that the place named is not under Alexandria. Asa matter of fact the bar had slipped into the old well of what was once “King’s pump” on@hat corner. Had the whole covering instead of part been rotten the man ae rell as the crowbar would have gone into the ‘SOTES. - A colored man named George Washington had his leg broken yesterday by being caught between two blocks of ice at the chute on Reed's wharf.

GOING FOR THE VAGRAXTS. The police are taking advantage of the power given them by the new vagrancy laws and every night persons of dissolute habits are being taken off the streets.

Out in the county, where many of the lawless would congregate, the police have made havoc among the disorderly people, much to the satisfaction of all good citizens, ‘who wore seriously an- noyed by their boisterous conduct. THREE YOUTHFUL BURGLARS. Henry Carter, Calvin Dillard and Marcus Active, three small colored boys not yet ten years old, were arrested yesterday on a charge of entering the store of Mr. Chas. Dobinson on 30th and Beall on Sunday and stealing from the cash drawer about $1.60. They are also accused of making an unsuccessful attempt to burglarize the residence of Mr. Jonne, 1330 30th street. Last winter these same diminutive burglars en- tered the store of C. W. Cromwell, the 32dstreet grocer, and made way with candies, cash, &¢. BUILDING ASSOCIATION MEETING.
