There Was Chivalry on Both Sides of the Late Content. From the Charleston News and Courter. The Rev. Robert Wilson of St. Luke's Episcopal Church says: “In 1883 I met in Richmond a Col. Mc- Coy of Pennsylvania, who had been a gal- lant wearer cf the blue. We got quite chummy over a ‘mixed wood’ camp fire, and, wishing to put him at his ease, I told him the story of Kershaw’s magnifi- cent reconnolssance at Fredericksburg, which can never be too often repeated. An crderly had arrived in hot haste with agcolmand for Gen. Kershaw to have the enemy reconnoitered at all hazards from a knoll which was swept by the fire of the starpshooters of both armies. Every bush and tree had been cut away by the storm of bullets, and it looked like certain death tc the man who should attempt it. Calmiy slinging his tleld glass, and turning or his command to the next officer in r: nk, Joseph B. Kershaw rode slowly up to the death trap, into which he would not send any other man. The sight of his herole | action as he sat amid the whistling minies, | sweeping the opposing ranks with his glass, was too much for the chivalry of the Yankee commander, and the order went down the federal line: ‘Cease firing on thet officer!’ The rifles became silent, the rezonnoissance was finished, and, raising his cap in acknowledgment, Gen. Ker- shaw quietly rode back at a walk, un- harmed.” “It vas a splendid incident,” remarked Col. McCoy, “but I can cap it with a per- sonal experience of the chivalrous dispo- sition of your men. I was on Gen. Meade’s staff near Richmond, and one morning, with the general. at our head, we rode down to take a look over the river. As we turned sharply out of the bushes and came out on the bank we found ourselves in point blank range of a cenfederate picke: | drawn up on the other side. A voliey weuld have emptied every saddle, for we were entirely at their mercy; but it would have been murder, for they could not cross and capture us. Recognizing Gen. Meade, the commande: of the detachment ordered his men into line and they presented arms. We raised our caps in grateful acknowl- edgment, rode slowly back into the bushes and, as soon as we were fairly out of sight, put spurs to our horse and scudded back to the camp as if the devil was atic us.

VIEWS OF DISERICT COMMISSIONERS An Old Law Which Presents an Apparent Obstacle. OTHER DISTRICT MATTERS As stated in The Star several days ago, the Commissioners have written a letter to Chairman McMillan cf the Senate commit- tee on the District of Columbia favoring tbe municipal control of the collection of garbage, and of street sweeping and other work of that character. ‘The full report of the Commissioners upon the subject, together with the reports of the heads of the respective departments, is sent with the letter. works by the District are the existing con- tracts therefor, and the following provision in the organic act of the District of Colum- bia, which requires them to be done by con- trac! “That hereafter when any repairs of streets, avenues, alleys or sewers within the District of Columbia are to be made, or when new pavements are to be substl- tuted In place of those worn out, new ones laid or new streets opened, sewers built. or any works the total cost of which shall exceed the gum of $1,000, notice shall be given in one hewspaper of Washington, and if the total cost shall exceed $5,000, then in one newspaper in each of the cities of New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore aiso for ore week, for proposals, with full specifica- tions as to muterial for the whole or any portion of the work proposed to be done, and the lowest responsible proposal for the kind and character of pavement or other work which the Commissioners shall de- termine upon shall in all cases be accept- ed: Provided, however, That the Commis- sioners shall have the right In their dis- cretion co reject all of such proposals. The contract for street sweeping will ex- pire June #0, 1807. The contract for clean- ing paved alleys will expire June 30, 16: The contract for unpaved alleys will expire June iu, S96. The contract for the collection and dis- ‘bage and dead animals will ex- , 190), unless sooner terminat +d in of the contractor's laches, or his I t, and the concurrence therein of the authorities. There are other kinds of public works Where day's labor may at times, im the discretion of the Commissioners, be a vantagvously employed, such as the coi struction of sewers, sidewalks and certain Kinds of pavements. Water mains are al- y laid by day’s labor, under the direc- tion and control of municipal officers. Grading and filling of streets and any other improvements where the main in- terest of the government is the amovn? and not the quality of the work done muy be done, it is said, by contract with as much, if not more, advantage to the public than by day's work. The Commissioners are satisfied that it would be to the advantage of the public to construct all public buildings by day's work. They believe it is impracticable to maintain a system of supervision that will entirely prevent improper work on such structtires under the contract system. While an honest contractor will dc good work as well without as with supervision, a dishonest contractor can readily find op- portunities to evade the surveillance of iac most vigilant overseers. Under the date of January 31, 1896, the Commissioners, In response to a request of your committee for thelr views upon Senate bill 1417, to regulate the employ- ment of labor on public buildings nd public grounds in the District of Colum ‘a, eapressed the opinion that while In their Judgment {t is better that certain public works ghould be executed under contract system, it would be for the public interest if they should be vested with discretion to cause other works to be performed by day’s labor, They take this occasion to inclese a draft of a bill designed to give them this discretion, and are of the opin- fon that the public interests would be sub- served by its enactment, or the enactment of some measure substantially of the same effect. Mr. Donnelly's License. For the purpose of finding out how the residents and property owners in the vi- cinity of the grocery store of James D. Donnelly, 828 14th street, stood regarding the issuance cf a wholesale Iquor license there, the excise board inspector of licenses was recently directed to make a canvass of the locality and report to the board. His report was submitted today. He enumerates the objectors to the license, and ends his report as follows: “All the other owners, residents and sons doing business on the two streets amed (14th street between H and I and I between 14th and 15th streets northwest) favor the granting of the license for the reason that Mr. Donnelly’s store is con- ducted in a first-class style; that there are ro objectioneble features about It, and the objection to him is confined to a very small number of persons who have been perse- cuting him for a nunrber of years. As a result of imy investigation, I am of the opinion that a very large majority of the owners, residents and business men in the immediate vicinity of Mr. Donnelly’s place of business favor the granting to him of the license applied for.” Belt Rallway Extensions Adversely Reported. House bill 7815, to amend the charter of the Belt Line Railway Company, has been adversely reported by the Commissioners. The principal features of the bill are ex- tensions of the Belt line into Le Droit Park subdivision, through Mt. Pleasant and south and cast on Water and P streets south, for the abandonment of certain por- tons of its existing tracks and for the is- sue of stock or bonds to construct or equip the extensions in amount and kind, accord- ing to a decision of the majority in value of the stockholders. The Commissioners had previously con- sidered with care different routes for the first two extensions nam: and recom- mended certain routes in their report and bill submitted March 31. ‘These routes are different from the ones named in bill part of which latter routes are re- garded as wholly inadvisable for the pub- lic interest. The Commissioners ask the privilege of a conference with the District committee, in order to explain with the ald of maps their views upon the proposed northern extension of the Belt Mne. The extension south on Water street and east on P street to Delaware avenue and the abandonment of tracks with the con- ditions as named in the bill 7815, they state, appear permissible. The Eighteenth Street Extension. Relative to the proposed amendment to the charter of the Metrqpolitan Railroad Com- pany, as defined in House Dill S004, the Commissionere say that the bill provides for the extension of the road from the northern end of Connecticut avenue, north- erly on Columbia road to 18th street; the repeal of that part of the act of Is‘, rela- tive to the penalty for default in compilet- ing its underground electric roads, and the extension of time for the completion of its east and west line for a period of ninety days. The proposed extension on Columbia road, the Commissioners say, conforms in a small part only to the recommendation of the Commissioners concerning the ex- tensions of certain street railways in the District. The Commissioners think the Metropolitan railroad should be extended north of 18th street when any extension is made, and at least to Howard avenue, for the purpose of serving the territory be- tween i4th street and Rock creek, and for furnishing transportation to the Zoological Park, but that a double track should not be allowed on Columbia road north of Ka- lorama avenue. The Commissioners sub- mit a substitute bill, and ask for a confer- ence with the District committee on the subject. ——__.

As has already been stated, the plan cf allowing the poor of the city to use such vacant lots as can be obtained for planting pctatees end other vegetables is to be fol- lowed again during the coming summer, under the supervision of a committee of the board of trade. Already several persons have offered the use of vacant lots during the season, and Looks heve heen opened at the offive of the Associated Charities, $11 G street, where Mr. J. F. Van Arsdale is in attendance every day from 9 to 12 o'clock to make as- signments. Owing to the lack of funds at the disposal of the committee, only beans will be furnished for seed this year, but the cecupants of the different patches will be permitted to plant whatever they choose. It was the experience last year that beans brought the largest returns for the amount invested. Mr. F. Moore, the chairman of the committee, has so far received but $10 to- ward the support of the scheme, and as @ considerable sum ts needed to put the plan into practical operation he has issued an appeal for contributions from those who helieve in helping the poor to help them- selves. — tam will receive the now der to Germany, Mr. Ed. fence Sunday.
