Contractor Warfield Shifts the Re- sponsibility on the Smith People— About the Dixon System. “Who is responsible for the delay in erecting another garbage crenatory?” That is the all-absorbing question that ts agitating the Commissioners at present. Under date of September 2, 1806, a letter was written to Cyrus Borgner, president of the Smith Crematory Company, by the garbage contractor, that the Commission- ers had agreed upon a site for the second crematory, and asking if he was ready to give bond to proceed at once with the erection of a crematory of the Smith pat- tern. This letter was written by Manager Bayly at the dictation of the garbage con- tractor. To this letter a telegram was ceived by the contractor on the 9th in- stant, notifying him that Mr. Borgner would be over Thursday, the 10th instant. Manager Bayly explained this morning in a hearing b2fore the Commissioners that Mr. Borgner came as indicated, and looked over the old observatory site, which met with his entire approval. He returned to Philadelphia saying that he thought it best te make a test of the Philadelphia plant as to its capacity and the cost of operating it, and also that he was desirous of set- tling some points agreed to In the memo- rardim between himself and’ the contrac- tor In order to avoid the possibility of a disagreement in the future. A Further Delay. Under date of September 12, Mr. Bayly {n called Mr. Borgner’s atten- tion to the mattcr, adding that the con- tractor had been notified that day by the Commissioners that they must proceed at ence with the ereciton of the second cre- matory. He asked Mr. Borgner to come on at once and arrange matiers. The reply to this Jetter was « telegram stating the irability of Mr. BKorgner to be present that week, and suggesting that the contractor come to Philadelphia Thursday (today). These letters and telegrams were read this morning before the Commissioners by the contractor in order to prove that he was rot resyonsibie for the delay. Cortinving, Manager Dayly said Mr. Borgner in his interview with him did not say that he (Borgner) was willing to put up a crematory. Commissioner Truesdell thought — this very sirgular and said Mr. Bayly’s state- ment @id not agree with Mr. Horgner's, who hed stated in an interview with him, that he was ready at any time to xo to work, and rromised to have a plant in operation within ninety days. In fact, his company had proceeded already by taking steps to get out iron for the furnace. Marager Bayly said he could not under- stand the delay, and referred again to the telegrams he had received. The Contractor's Position. Contractor Warfield wanted to know what he was to do in the matter. He dit not think he was to blame in any way for the delay. He was ready to go ahead and complete the agreement with the Smith people on the memorandum agreement they kad come to some time ago. Conmmissioner Truesdell thought that Mr. Warfield should go to Philadelphia and see the test that was Leing made. Mr. Warfield replied that he had no de- sire to see the test. He was satisfied with the test previously made, and was willing to commence operations with a Smith cre- matory. He wanted to understand, how- ever, exactly wrat was expecte care his negotiations with the Smith peo- Fle fell througa. Commissioner ‘Truesdell said he did noi need any instructions as to that phase of the case. The Commissioners had already notified him what the Commissioners’ wish- es were in the premises. The Dixon System. Commissicner Powell said that the Com- missioners had approved the Dixon crema- tory uncer certain conditions, and if the Smith crematory could not be put in, why, the Dixon system was the next best, ac- cording to the Commissioners. Mr. Warfield protested that there was no Dixon plant in operation anywhere near here where dead animals were cremated by the system, and he would like a chance to investigate the matter. He had already heen placed in a hole by the Dixon people, and did not wish to be caught again. Commissioner ‘Truesdell replied that it was not the desire of the Commissioners to drive the contractor to a Dixon cremn- tory. Of course, the Commissioners had rothing to do with arrangements between inventor and centractor as to terms. He» theught the contractor should proceed to eee at orce and run the thing own. —_——>_—_. FOUND NOT INSANE. Police Surgeons’ Opinion of the Men- tal Stute of Florence Jordan. Police Surgeons Nevitt and Hickling made their final report to the authorities this af*ernoon concerning the mental con- dition of Florence Jordan. Briefly, they hold that she is responsible for what she does and is not insane. That from the evidence they have heard and the exhaus- tive examination they have made they would not be justified in committing her to the insane asylum. The surgeons made another examination today, which lasted for some time. They conversed at length with the girl, but she did not show the slightest mental derange- ment. She spoke of her past and said she had not given her soul away, she had bartered it. Immediately after the surgeons made their report they notified the station keep- er of the first precinct station of their finding, and notified the mother of the girl to call at the station and get her. .As the charge of larceny against her has been withdrawn she will be released. as Death of Edmund C. Blunt. Mr. Edmund C. Blunt, the son of Mr. H. ‘W. Blunt, and a member of the well- known Marylend family of that name, died yesterday evening at the residence of his father, 3022 P street northwest, in the forty-first year of his age. For several years past Mr. Blunt had been engaged in stock farming in the valley of Virginia, de- voting himself to the raising of thorough- bred horses. Previous to engaging in this business he was one of the most widely known end popular young men in Wash- ington. He had few superiors as a horse- man, and was an active member of the Hunt and Jockey Club. At different times he ov.ned valuable and speedy horses, some of which were quite successful en the turf. The news of his death has caused general regret among the very large circle of friends he enjoyed throughout the country. ‘The funeral services will take place tomor- row morning at 11 o’clock at 3022 P street northwest, after which the remains will be taken to the Baltimore and Ohio depot and removed to Montgomery county, Md., for burt —_—_>——_. Market Order. The Commissicners have revoked their order of the 3d instant directing the collec- tor of taxes to collect the fees due from the dealers in the municipal markets and sub- stituted the following: “Each market master of the municipal markets shall hereafter, before the last secular day of each month, furnish the col- lector of taxes with a statement showing the name of each stallholder,. number of stall occupted by such stallholder and the amount of rent due therefrom in the mar- ket under his charge. The market masters shall notify the stallholders to promptly comply with the law, which requires that a stall rent shall be paid menthly tn ad- ‘vance at the office of the collector of taxes, and shall prepare bills to be used in the yment of such rent on forms which will ae ee application to the audi- tor. They shall use all means in their pow- er to secure prompt collection of these rents, by notifying the stall owners when and where payment thereof shall be made.” —__—>—_— Mrs. Cooley Asks for a Divorce.

The battle ship was hard and fast aground for about eight hours. It was at first supposed that she had struck upon a ledge and was fast,amidships, but this was found to be a mistake by a diver who went down to inspect the hull of the battie ship soon after she struck, The point at which she struck was a sandy ridge between the ledges which abound in the vicinity, hence she was not punctured, nor was she badly bruised, but there was great danger that she would be badiy strained as the tide receded, it having been about half ebb when she struck. According to the state- ment of an officer this morning, however, the battle ship settled easily into the bar as the water receded and it is thought she suffered comparatively no damage. A thorough inspection of the hull will, however, be made and the exact condition Of the vessel be reported to the Navy De- partment at Washington.

A few pulla at the tow line proved that one small craft could do nothing to- ward moving the tons of steel which were imbedded in the mud. Meanwhile the tide had fallen so rapidly that the bow cf the the windows after removing a pane of glass and attempted to break open the safe, which is located In the west corner of the store room, but evidently a larger charge of dynamite was put in than was intended, or, as many think, they were new at the busi- ness and an explosion followed which wrecked the inside of the store room and threw the goods on the shelves in a con- fused mass upon the floor. The whole front of the store was blown out, and a large part of the safe thrown across the sireet, eighty feet distant, and fragments scattered in every direction. The first_person to arrive on the scene was Jos. Wesbury, who saw two men in the street near the building, one of whom turned and shot at him as he accosted them. Young Wesbury, on the opposite side of the street, hearing the explosion, arose, and raising the window saw the two men also, and heard one of them say to the other, “Are you hurt? He repiied, “No.” They both seemed perfectly cool and laughed at the disaster they had caused. He shouted. to them, when a shot was also fired at him, the ball lodging in the window casing near him. The men then fied down the street. The building comprises a store room and ¢welling, in which Mr.Brown and his family I've. The shock from the explosion broke nearly all the window glass in the ho: but no one was injured.” The clerk, J. EL Jacobs, who sleeps above the store room, was thrown from his bed, but was quickiy on the scene of disaster? and with the as- sistance of H. L. Turner and several fire extinguishers succeeded in putting out the fire which had started among the rabbi in the store, and was spreading rapidly. The robbery had evidently been planned for several days, as two strange men have been notice in the town for a night or two past. There was no money secured, and but little was in the safe, but several empty shoe boxes were found which they had emptied probably before firing the fuse. The loss to Mr. Brown Is quite heavy. The building is owned by Mrs. A. F. Turner, who has offered a reward of $i for the arrest and conviction of the perpetrators of the outrage. A large crowd has been gath- cred from the town and vicinity around the Luilding all day, and great indignation is expressed, but apparently no effort is bein: made here to find the guilty parties. It thought by many that if searching part had been formed at once the parties migh have been discovered. A pick and several other tools with which the work was don were found a short distance from the build- irg. A force of hands have been engaged during the day clearing up things. —_— Executive Clemency. ‘The President has pardoned Samuel K.

Soon after midnight four tugs were ready. By 1:30 o'clock the tide had arisen well upon the dark hull of the battle ship and word was pussed for the tugs to pull together. 4s done, the strain was applied veral_ min- utes, with no apparent result, then the effort was renewed, and without a break in the strain for nearly half an hour the tugs pulled, and just before 2 o'clock the great ship moved, and s few minites later she was anchored in deep water. was to It was thought Ss for se Capt. Glass’ Report. Capt. Glass, commander of the battle ship Texas, telegraphcd the Navy Department this morning frcm Newport that the ship went ashore last evening on the sands while entering Newport harbor, and that she was floated off at 1:30 o'clock this ™morning, spparently uninjured. Capt. Glass attributed the accident to a misunderstanding of the signals in the ergine room, but did not place the blame more specifically. He said, however, that he would send a full report by mail. Acting under the regulations, a thorough investigation of the accident will be made at once, under the direction of the com- manding officer. No action will be taken by the Navy Department until after the receipt of the full details. Acting Secretary McAdoo sent a tele- gram to Capt. Glass today asking for more Getails in regard to the error in signaling. In the absence of such information, the officials of the department are unwilling to discuss the case. In most naval vessels the movements of the wheel are plain shown in the pilot house, and consequent! it is difficult to understand why the nav gating officer did not see at a glance that His signals to reverse the wheel had not beer complied with in time to have insured proper com:rounication with the engine room, in case of a derangement of the sig- naling apparatus. The bell signal system is usually employed on naval vcssels, but on some vessels the signals are given by whis- ties. In either case it is difficult to see how the signals, if properly given, were mi‘: vnderstood by the engineer, if the appara- tus was in good order. An official investi- gation will be necessary to determine the responsibility for the accident and a court- martial is probable, if it should be found that anybody was careless or negligent in Ls duties. Mishaps to the Texas. The battle ship Texas, built after plans secured abroad by Secretary Whitney, and modified by American naval constructors, was launched at the Norfolk navy yard, June 27, 1882. Her subsequent career has been largely made up of mishaps. Many of these have been of minor importance, but they have earned for her the reputation of being a Jonah or having a hoodoo. While building, several men were fatally hurt on her, and one man plunged to death from her deck. Her engines were scorched in a fire at the Redmond iron works, and her propeller was broken on her first trip to the yard. In her dock trial she swamped a lum- ber schooner with the swash from her screw. Heeled over by the wind and the unequal weight of a partially set up turret, she was Under the absolute control of the Royal F Chemical Instiiue (Ministry of A, culture), Buda Pest. rian “We know of no Spring which shows so great richness in Mineral Salts, or which combines such a‘l- vantages, as this water. “Professor Dr. R.
