Commissioners’ Action Sharply CFiti- ised by Expectant Bidders. There is considerable bad feeling among the would-be garbage contractors over the summary action of the Commissioners in awarding, without advertisement for pro- posals, a four months’ garbage contract, under mew specifications and with an in- creased appropriation, to the preSent gar- bage contracters. They claim, first, that tke Commissioners had no right to take such action, and even if they had, it was an unjust discrimination. They are work- ing in the dark, aud do not think the Com- missioners should play any favorites, and give one man a greater opportunity than another. The result of awarding this four months’ contract will be to give the pres- ent contractors a better insight into the workings of the new regulations, with the very great benefit of knowing how to bid when the proposals for the five years’ con- tract fs asked. There are men in the Dis- trict ready and willing to undertake the contract, amply supplied with financial backing. It is well known that the pres- ent contractors were willing to cancel their contract on the first day of July, and plain- ly told the Commissioners so. Yet, strange as it may seem, the Ccmmissioners award them the contract for four months, with- out asking for competitive bids, and give them the assurance that the authorities will not be hard om them. There is a great divergence of cpinion as to the powers of the Commissioners, under the law, to award this temporary contract. The law, as far as it refers to the question, reads: “That befor? any contract shall be en- tered into by virtue of this authority the existing contract with the District of Co- lumbla for the collection and disposal of garbage shall be terminated by mutual consent or otherwise, and until said con- tract shall be entered into and the con- tractors ready to execute the same, the said appropriations herein made shall, in the discretion of the Commisisoners, be available for the purpose of paying for the increased service, as hereinbefore provided. In the absence of any direct authority to continue the present contractors in the new service the disconted ones are claiming that the Commissioners are violating the law, which prohibits them from entering into contract for any service of material the cost of which shall exceed $1,000 until pro- Pposals for the same shall aye first been advertised. Those would-be contractors claim that this summary action on the part of the District Commissioners will lose for the District quite a sum of money. —— BOARD OF TRADE EXCURSION. A Large Party Wili Go Down the River Saturday. The indtcations are that a large party will go down the river Saturday under the auspices of the board of trade, on the oc- casion of the annual excursion and shad bake of that body, and it is safe to say none will regret taking the trip. A pleas- ani feature of the occasion will be the gun tests at the naval proving grounds at Indian Head, to which place the Macalester will proceed direct from the city. Of course, to those who have ever been to Marshall Hall, it 1s unnecessary to speak of the planked shad dinner, which will be served on this occasion about 5 always a special feature of any outing on the Jo- tomac. It has been arranged that the steamer shall leave the wharf at 1 o'clock, immediately after which lunch will be served on board. ter returning from the gun tests to Marshall Hall, and enjoying the good things there provided, and listen- ing to the wisdom and eloquence tpat will follow from well-known orators, the home- ward trip will be made, so as to reach the city early enough for the convenience of all. As was the case with its excursion last year, the coming event will be a “stag” affair, the members of the board and their guests depriving themselves for the time being of the company of the fairer sex. ——___ CIVIL SERVICE REFORM. Secretary Mortom and Controller Eckels to Speak on the Subject. It has not been frequently that the citi- zens of Washington have had the pleasure of hearing in public from the Secretary of Agriculture and the controller of the cur- rency. Tomorrow night, however, both Mr. Morton and Mr. Eckels are going to talk, and it may safely be assumed they will talk well and interestingly on a subject which they are abundantly qualified to discuss, by reason of considerable exper- ience. The occasion will be the annual meeting of the Civil Service Reform As- sociation of the District, which will be held in the hall of Columbian University at 8:15 o’cloc! The speakers of the even- ing will present their views on the subject of civil service reform from the stand- point of officials who have had opportunity to observe and test the practical workings of the law. In addition to the distinguish- ed gentlemen already named there may be others who will speak of some phase of this movement for better and cleaner gov- ernment. All interested in this great ques- ton, which has never attracted more thought and attention than at the present time, will be welcomed at the meeting. = AGAINST JACKSON CITY. Public Board of Trade Meeting to Dis- cuss the Question. The Jackson City question will be han- dled by the board of trade, and many of our citizens who will meet with that body, at the Builders’ Exchange next Tuesday evening. A few days ago, prompted by the general interest and concern felt by the people of the District in the state of af- fairs in the notorious resort across the river, especially in so far as it directly af- fects the District’s welfare, more than a sufficient number of directors of the board of trade signed @ call for a meeting, the outcome of which will be the gathering Tuesday evening. As before indicated, the meeting will not be confined to the board of trade, but all interested in a solution -of the problem to be discussed will be wel- come. The question will be considered in its different phases, together with what- eyer steps may be thought practicable to effect a change for the better in the evils which now exist. —.__ The Mockabee Case. Samuel Mockabee, the Anacostia young man who does not live with his wife, and who figured in the Anacostia scare Tues- day night, as printed In yesterday's Star, appeared in the office of Prosecuting At- torney Mullowny and swore to an informa- tion charging his young wife with assault. It is claimed that when Mrs. Mockabee fired the pistol shot she made use of threat- ening language. Although this additional charge was filed against Mrs. Mockabee, no additional collateral was yquired, and she will remain out on the $10 collateral left yesterday. Mrs. Mockabee claims that she had a blank cartridge in the pistol, but she suc- ceeded in frightening her husband and friends when she fired tne shot. The cases will be heard Tuesday. ee Held for Grand Jury. Henry Smith and Major Newton, young colored men, engaged in a fight about a year ago, and Smith, it is charged, cut Newton with a knife. Smith was arrested two days ago by Policeman Jack, and was given a preliminary hearing in the Police Court today. Judge Miller held htm in $1,000 security for the action of the grand jury. —————— Marriage Licenses. Marriage licenses have been issued by the clerk of the court to the followin, Wm. H.
