Report of the Board of Trade Com- mittee Rec mending a Bond Is- sue to Remedy the Defect. The committee on sewage of the Washins- ton board of trade hay submitted an inte: esting report on that subject as applied to this city, showing the inadequacy of the present system, and the necessity for a radical and comprehensive change. The re- port says: ‘Text of thé Repor?, Your committee, in taking up the question of the sewerage wants of this community, naturally sought for information as to the Present facilities for the disposal of the sewage and rain fall of the District. As a result of this inquiry it was found that the sewage, mixed with the storm water, was emptied through trunk lines of conduits, too small at times for this double service, into waters closely suffounding the city on three of its sides, there to be moved to and fro along its shores by the tides, until it is elther destroyed by oxidation o> carried down the river by the current. The Present System Inadequate. With these facts before your committee, it required but little further examination to convince them that the present system is entirely inadequate fo> the service it Is ex- pected to perform; that it is rapidly con- verting the Eastern branch and the whule water front of the Potomae river into an open sewer that will soon be as offensive as the James creek canal or the mouth of Rock creek is today; that it is not only a sertous menace to health, but {s largely > sponsible for the increased death rate in the vicinity of our water frontage. To prove that this last statement is not overdrawn, we have but to refer to the re- port on the vital statistics of the District by Dr. Billings, which shows that where one person dies of malarial fevers in the best sanitary district of the city, twenty- | seven die in the sanitary district bordering eon the James creek cal forty-three in the district situated on the Potomac just below the mouth of Rock creek. Our present system Is, In fact, the natural outgrowth of a makeshift policy of small appropriations ever inadequate for present needs, rather than a well-conceived and comprehensive plan calculated to serve a rapidly-growing city for half a century to come. This is the condition. How shall it be remedied? Fortunately for the people of this District and your committee the question Is easily answered. Boned of Sanitary Experts. Under the provisions of an act of Con- gress approved March 2, 1889, making ap- Propriations for the expenses of the Dis- trict of Columbia for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1800, the President was authorized to appoint three competent sanitary en- sineers to examine and report upon the sewerage system then in existence, and to make such suggestions and recommenda- tions as may seem necessary for its modi- fication and extension. In compliance with this authority, Messrs. Rudolph Herring, Samuel M. Gray and Frederic P. Stearns were appointed and con- Stituted a board of sanitary engineers to carry out the duties specified in the act. This board, after a thorough survey of the city and its suburbs, its system of sewers and its extensive water frontage, and an exhaustive examination of all the ques- Uons appertaining to the subject of sewage disposal, reported in June, 1800, four methods, the first of which, involving an estimated expense of $4,598,008.20, was strongly recommended for adoption. ‘the recommended plan has been finally adopted by Congress, and an appropriation of 300,- 000 made to begin work upon it. This money has been expended in the construc- tion of the Easby Point high level in- terceptor for rain-fall, which will be of Ro actual benetit until the entire system is completed and in successful operation. Benefit of Their Plan. It will be impossible in the scope of @ baper like this to enter into the details of the plan accepted. It wiil be sufficient for our purpose to state that by it much of the rain-fall will pass into the river without contamination by sewage, and that the en- tire sewage of the city and its suburbs will be carried through trunk conduits to the foot of New Jersey avenue southeast, where, by a system of centrifugal pumps, it will be forced through a triple line of 48- inch castiron inverted siphons, laid be- neath the bed of the Eastern branch to Poplar Point, and from thence through whac is designated an “outfall sewer and outlet pipes" into the Potomac river some three miles below the city. With this plan in operation the city will be relieved from the very serious danger arising from the pollution of our water tront; Rock creek, instead of exhaling dis- ease-laden vapors, may be converted into a picturesque feature of our city landscape, and the James Creek canal, now a nuisance of the most dangerous character, will be- come a valuable wharfage property. Bond Issue Recommended. In view of the foregoing, and in consid- eration of the fact that the proposed sys- tem can give no measure of relief from presen: conditions until it “is completed in {ts entirety, we strongly recommend that the board of trade urge upon Congress the advisability of giving the District govern- ment authority to issue bonds In a sum suffictent to allow of the construction of this work at once.

George Garrison's horribly mutilated body was prepared for burial at J. William Lee's undertaking establishment yesterday after- noon, and there the coroner's jury assem- bled this morning and listened to the state- ments of witnesses concerning the cir- cumstances under which the deceased came} to his death. Garrison, who was forty-tive | years old, was a track walker on the Bal- tmore and Potomac railroad. He was on} duty yesterday afternoon, and it became} necessary for him to pass through the navy yard tunnel. When he eniered the tunnel he lighted his torch, as a iight is necessary in orier to see that ine tack is all right and in safe condition. But Garrison did not pass right through the tunnel, nor did he seek retuge in one of jthe severai “manholes,” and the result was that the extra train struck and in-| stantly killed him. Harry A. Newman, engineer in charge of switch engine No. 4, saw :he man when | he was struck. When he entered the tun- hel, he said, he saw a torch on the track, but there was nothing unusual in that, for he had seen them there many times be- fore. The presence of the torch on the track indicated nothing, except that there Was a trackman in the tunnel, and he naturally supposed that the man 3 in one of the “manholes.” But later he saw a man seated cn the | rail, and the engine was then about fifteen {or twenty feet from him. So far as he could discover, the man made no effort to! gave himself, but simply raised his head} and then dropped it again. The bell on the engine was ringing and members of the} crew were shouting at nim. ‘The engine| was backing at the time, pulling the cars into the city. “The couductor and yardmaster," said witness, “were on the step and could have Kicked the man before he was struck, gut it would have been dangerous for them.' “What was the torch ‘here for?’ inquired @ juror. “For the trackman to see lis way through the tunnel,” was the response of wiiness, “Was it used as a signal of any kind?” he was next askod. “No, sir," he answered, “it was only used by the trackman to light his path through the tunnel.” i e was asleep when the don’t know, “but {t looket Mke it." Witness said he was running his engine at the rate of dix or eight miles an hour and was unable to stop the train after he saw the man on the track. One of the jurors wanted to know from answerel the engineer, the witness something coucerning. the hours the deceased worked und whether @ light in the tunnel would make it sufer for those whose duties called them: there, | but the coroner thought that information | had better be obtained from another wit-| ness. Nane Rossiter, fireman on the engine, gave similar testimony. He rang the bell and heard members of the crew shoutlag loud enough to arouse even a. sleeping man. Cc. L. Tiers, assistant supervisor in charge of tracks and roadbed, told the Jury that Garrison worked from 7 o'clock in the morning until 6 in the evening, with one hour for dinner. He knew nothing of the man’s habits. There 1s no light in the tun-| nel, except when a torch is taken in there | by a workman, and witness could not suy that a light in the tuanel in the daytime} would make it any safer. There ure man-| holes in the tunnel, and the railroad men | are supposed to know where they are lo-| cated. Witness thought there was one of these holes near where Gairison was killed. There ty no room between the track and| the wall of the tunnel, but there are two tracks, and a person might stand between them and escape injury when a train is passing. | Peter R. Oliver, assistant yardmaster, | testifed that he was seated on the link j and pin box of the tender when the acci- ; dent happened. When the train approach- |ed the tunnel he noticed the torch, but | did not see the man until the train was almost upon him. When the train was about ten feet from Garrison witness saw him raise his head. Ia an instant the train struck him, she jury returned a verdict of accidental Jeath. —— es AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN. Badges for the Members of the Anti- Cigarette Le: Mr. B. T. Janaey, supetvising principal of the Georgetown public schools, this | morning received five hundred German sll- ver badges, diamond-shaped, and with pin attachment, to be distributed among the members of the newly organized Antl- Cigarette League, which has received such strong Support from the pupils of the schcols here. There are in Georgetown already twenty branches of the league. The badges will be largely distributed to- day. They were made in Newark, N. J., and paid for by Supervisor Janney. Mr. janney has taken a deep interest in the work of lessening the evil of cigarette smoking, and is recruiting his ranks with boys of 1 ages, sizes and conditions. This morning he was out among the .messen- gers and those not under his control, seek- ing new members. He believes that there are many smokers among the young looked upon as ti.corrigible who only want a sen- sible talking to in order to secure their assistance in furthering the object of the organization.

Then there were recitations by Miss Corrinne, Miss Pearl Halley and Mr. Hortense Cook, a whistling solo by Miss Sarah Points, a vocal duet by Miss Vaughan and Miss Schaaft, and addresses by a number of visiting leaguers, among whom were Mr. W. B. Mathews of Foundry M.E. Church and Mr. H. E. Leech of Douglas Memorial M. E. Church. Rev. J. C. Jones, the pastor of the church, closed the exercises of the evening with an address, after which re- freshments were served and a social hour enjoyed by the gathering. —_—> No Summer Tr As stated in The Star several days ago, it was then decided to summon a jury for service in one of the Criminal Courts dur- ing July. A panel was therefore drawn for service in Criminal Court No. 1. But, before summons had been served by the marshal, the court in General Term decided, after further consideration of the matter, that there should be no jury trials in any branch of the District Supreme Court dur- ing either July or August. Therefore an order was made yesterday afternoon di- recting the return to the jury box of the names drawn for service in the Criminal Court during next month. While there will be no jury trials in either the Circuit or Criminal Court until fall, there will be an arrangement made by which there will be at least one judge in the city during the immer to sign all necessary orders and to dispose of all emergency cases arising dur- ing that time. ———___ Thirty-day trip to Europe from Washing- | ton, all expenses pald, first-class, $104.

As heretofore stated in The S.ar, the compilation of the District laws made by Mr. William Stone Abert ts now in course of publication at the government printing office. Several days ago the following let- ter was prepared and signed by the six members of the District Supreme Court: “To the Congress of the United States: “Under the act of Congress of March 2, 1889, chapter 392, 25th Statutes, p. 87: providing for a compilation of the laws in force In the District of Columbia, the work is required to be approved by the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia. In connection with the compilation proper, now submitted to us, we find that Mr. William Stone Abert, one of the com- pilers, in addition to the work required to be performed by the act, has prepared copious annotations and judicial citation: construing or expounding the text, as well as an appendix. These citations show with the several sections of the compilation the decisions of the Court of Appeals of Maryland, the courts of the District of Columbia and the Supreme Court of the United States, rela- tive to the law embraced in it. That Mr. Abert might be compensated in the amount suggested by the court an amendment to the District appropriation bill was prepared for submission to the Senate committee on appropriations, providing each payment, and also that said amount shail be added to the cost of the compilation and the price for which the same shall be sold. “This additional work will add very much to the usefulness and value of the compila- ton, both to the bench and the bar. We have examined these annotations and cita- tons and the appendix, and take pleasure in saying that in our opinion the sum of $6,000 would be a moderate and reasonable compensation for the labor involved in their preparation.” In reference to the matter a letter was also addressed to Senator Gorman, chair- man of the subcommittee in charge of the bill, signed by President Nathaniel Wilson and Messrs.
