TRANSPORTATION BY BOAT BEGUN Commissioners Officially Informed of the Trouble. PROTEST FILED TODAY With a sizzle, as the last potato peel fell into the dying embers of the fire under- Neath the big grate in the garbage crema- tory, the end of cremation for a time at least took place at the foot of South Capi- tol street early this morning. As stated exclusively in The Star of yes- terday, the owner of the crematory ap- Peared at the Commissioners’ office and re- Ported that the crematory would shut down. last night. This action, he stated, was only taken after it became evident that he could not come to an agreement with the garbage contractor as to the price to be paid for the’ plant. When night closed over the crematory the fires were still burning brightly, and it was thought that an agreement had been reached, and that the garbage would be destroyed as usual. But when morning dawned the smoke had disappeared, and all scenes of activity about the place had disappeared. The gar- bage crematory had indeed shut down— the owner of the plant had carried out his threat. And then as the dawn becamé brighter, and Old Sol began his climb over the hills of Virginia, the awful truth was realized, for, puffing merrily, along came a tugboat, having in tow a single scow, the District’s old standby, the Potomac gar- bage navy. There were scenes of great ac- tivity on board. The secret valves in the bottom of the big scow were carefully ex- amined. When these work properly water flows into the hold of the boat, and it set- tles to the water line. Then the decks are cleared of the garbage by the rising tide, and everything is ready for action. But to return. Cautiously the tug steamed up to the G street wharf, and there the scow was made fast. During the day she will be loadéd with garbage and carried outside of the District, it is said. There are some people who intimate that this is not cor- rect, and others who venture the opinion that, even so, it will return again “when the flowing tide comes in.” Officially Informed. Early in the day the: Commissioners: were: officially informed by Contractor Warfield that the garbage crematory had shut down, and that he was ready to take the garbage’ down the Potomac beyond the: District line. What the Commissioners replied is not known, for the hearing was private. When Contractor Warfield left the Com- missioners, a reporter of The Star met him in the hall. He sald the report of the clos-: ing of the crematory was corrert. It shut down this morning. He had been notifles jast night by the owner of the crematory that he proposed to take such action. All, he could say was that he had done every- thing to settle the differences between tie owner of the crematory and himself. The former had not lived up to his contract, and could not expect to receive the price stipulated in the contract. It was stipulat- ed that the crematory was to destroy 100 tons of garbage every twelve hours. This it had not done in twenty-four hours, the best record being seventy-eight tons in that time. He would return to the scow system today. At the present time the crematory was in need of repairs, and until. :these could be made, no action would be taken to ccmpel the owner of the plant to receive and dispose of the garbage. That wovld come later, for it was his purpose to go into the courts, if necessary, and compel the owner to either come to terms with him, or to turn the crematory over to him and let him proceed with the destruction of the garbage. He said, further, that a nice Place had been discovered for depositing the garbage outside of the District. It was at Notley Hall, where a man named Kent would take it all for fertilizer. It developed today that in answer to a complaint, the health officer visited the cre- matory yesterday afternoon and discoverea smoke issuing in large quantities from the smokestack of the plant, and emitting a bad odor. Investigation proved. that ,.the crematory had been overcharged. The re- sults of his investigation were embodied in a report to the Commissioners tuday. It was learned today that the garbage contractor had had a man employed at the crematory for a long time becoming fa- miliar with the running of the system, and that in case the courts. allow..the :con- tractor to operate the plant, h eeccentodops Pl ie will be Make a. Pretent. This afternoon Mr. Henry Storey, secre- tary of the South Washington. Citizens’. As-. sociation, called upon the Commissioners and left the following letter: “The Honorable Commissioners of the Dis- trict of Columbia: . “I am directed by the executive.commit- tee of the South Washington Citizens’ As- sociation to make this furthér anneal to your honorable body in the matter of the South Capitol street crematory. It is now. public knowledge that this crematory, in its operative functions, fails to fulfill the terms of the agreement between the builder and the garbage contractor and the speci fications required by your honorable body; that the contractor has refused to pur- chase the plant at the agreed price, and that the builder has announced his deter- mination to shut down and remove his plant and machinery. It is also public knowledge that this crematory is not sani- tary in respect of being odorless, and ev- ery favorable wind has spread its noxious odors through our section. Mr. Warfield’s attorney, as we are informed by the news- papers, announces that his client purposes to take possession of the crematory by virtue of his ownership of the land and continue the plant in operation. If the inventor cannot operate his own inven- “ion successfully, does it not stand to rea- son that Mr. Warfield could not, and that we would be subjected to still greater an- moyance and injury if he should under- take to operate it? The citizens of South Washington solemnly protest against the further operation of the crematory by either Mr. Brown or Mr. Warfield, and di- rect me to say that their patience is well nigh exhausted, and that if the operation of the crematory by Mr. Warfield be tol- erated by your hor.orable body, we shall be compelled to add to the complication between Messrs. Brown and Warfield by in- stituting legal proceedings for our own protection and relief. Deeming it to be the wisest course under the present circum- stances, I am directed to ask your honor- able body to co-operate with Mr. Brown in his expressed purpose of withdrawing his plant and thereby remove what has been only a source of annoyance and in- jury to us and embarrassment to your- selves and at the same time no benefit to our garbage service.” Castoria For Infants and Children.

In his annual report to the Secretary of | the Navy, Engineer-in-chief -Melville gives tables showing the results of the trials of new vessels during the past year, and says it gives him pleasure to note that in every case the machinery worked to perfection, not the slightest hitch of any kind having occurred. Examination made subsequently to the trial failed to disclose any derange- ments or any injury to the machinery as a result of the trial. The trial of the Brooklyn is worthy of special mention, on account of the fact that she is the first vessel tried that has been fitted with tall smoke pipes. The results obtained on the official trial give every promise that the fitting of these tall pipes will be attended with economy, and that the Brooklyn will be able to steam continuously at a salis- factory speed without having to use her forced-draft blowers. Increased Appropriations Needed. In a general chapter in regard to the engineering department of the navy, Com- modore Melville makes use of the following vigorous language: “The attention of the department ts called to the fact that our modern twin-screw ships have from three to four times as many moving parts as the engines in the old ships, and tha: the auxiliary engines have multiplied from ten to twenty fold, entailing increased care and attention for their preservation, and increased cost for their repair and maintenance. The appro- priation of this bureau for these purposes has, for several years, been entirely too small to do all work that should be per- formed and still not create a deficiency, and it has only been by the exercise of the strictest economy, and by leaving undone much work that would add to efficiency, that this has been accomplished. The re- sult is that, during the last month of the fiscal year, work has to be almost entirely stopped and the workmen at the various mavy yards suspended. The men seek em- ployment elsewhere, and when the next appropriation becomes available it is found that the best mechanics have found other employment and a new set of men has to be broken in, all of which entails increase of cost for the work. With a reasonable increase in the amount of the appropriation for steam machinery, the best mechanics could always be retained in the yards, and the result would in the end be attended with economy. Physical Strain on Engineers. “I feel that it is only necessary to direct your attention to the number of engineer officers who have been retired during the past year for physical incapacity, and to the steadily increasing number of such officers on the retired list, to demonstrate that the physical strain to which the offi- cers of the engineer corps are subjected is too great. In former annual reports I have given what I believe to be abundant reasons for an ‘ncrease in the number of officers of the corps. As time goes on and the number of ships and their power in- crease, the necessity for such an increase is intensified, and I feel that I would not be doing my duty if I did not again briefly refer to the matter. “The personal element is one which must enter largely into the resuit of any naval engagement, and if we had the most pow- erful and the swiftest navy afloat, it would be valueless to us in time of war if we have not a sufficient number of trained men to see that the machinery of this fleet is in condition for action and to keep it going in action. The guns will be power- less without the machinery, and, other thir gs being equal, that fleet will give the best account of itself which has the best equipment of trained men in the engine room as well as at the guns. To sacrifice the one is merely inviting disaster to the whole, and no amount of skill on deck can compensate for the lack of it below. “It is one thing to design and build ma- chinery, but quite a different thing to keep it in such conditicn that it may be ready to respond to the calls that may be made upon it under all conditions, and naval machinery is of such a character thet it is only by the exercise of constant vig- flance and the greatest care that it can be expected to be kept in readiness for such calls. If the number of trained men is not sufficient for this purpose, the efficiency of the ship as a whole is lowered, and the money which has been expended on her construction to produce the very qualities which were considered of paramount im- portance has been practically wasted.” 0 The New Chilean Cabinet.

Then, too, said Mr..Worth- ington, the proposed equipment is a mat. ter to be passed upon by the District Com- missioners. The complainant in the case has asked for a sale of the two roads, and all par- ties, declared Mr. Worthington, have con- sented that a sale be made of them. There- fore, iet the sale be made at once, so that the road will no longer be operated at the expense of the bondholders. Then, if that be done, Messrs. Widener, Elkins and Dolan can buy it and run all the exneri- wents they desire. What the bondholders desire is that the present arrangements be stopped at once, that the reeeiver, a man representing those who have brought all the trouble which has resulted, may be removed. The sooner that is done or a sale of the roads {s ordered by the court, said Mr. Worthington, in conclusion, the better it will be for the bondholders, at whose expense the roads are now being run. Judge Cox, upon the conclusion of Mr. Worthington’s. remarks, took the papers in the case, announcing that he would reserve his. decision. % e = Z are BHHTTTTTTTSROTORRRORRESESES z nie 3 Possibly you are using it; if at or not, why not try it? ’ ‘Brightens Homes. .2 ots 2 Everywhere...- eet) _ Lever Bros., Lid., Hudeoi and’ Harrison’ work of a heavy wash, ‘does : et” 9 Sunlight Soap: — PEED OOFPOCOOF OO FOFSOEHEOSDIOO POO ID OHO MOSEL DE: It makes4i¢ht | Seoocsseocosooecooceoeseses CONDENSED LOCALS ‘-The Illinois Republican Association de- cided last night to attend in a body the forthcoming joliification to be held at Cen- ter Market Hall next month, in honor of :[|-McKinley and Hobart’s election.

While one of the nicest fish, in that it can be cooked in so many ways, ard has a delicious flavor, ft has been the cause of more deaths than perhaps any other fish. They are caught off the coast of Massachusetts with hook and line, and because of the rough water, the work is extremely dangerous.

Ewing died at his home, 106 5th street northeast, at » O'clock this morning, after an iliness of about two months’ duration. He suffered from lung trouble, which resulted primarily from a severe cold, contracted during the summer. His death today was not unexpected, al- though his break Gown and decline in health was quite sudden. Mr. Ewing lack- ed only two months of being twenty-one years old, and he was one of the most pop- ular young men on Capito) Hill. His friends were legion, and he drew them from many sources. He was graduated from the East- ern High School in the class of ’93, and tcok a post-graduate course there, after which he spent two years in the study cf law at Columbian University. His success as a student would hi insured for him a bright future but for his untimely sick- ness and death.

Ewing, is superin- tendent of the Sunday school, ard an elder in the church. The deceased served as treasurer of the C. E. Society, and was a delegate to the convention held in Boston last year. The body will be taken for burial to Mat- toon, Ill, the former home of the parents. Funeral services will be held at the house in this city at noon tomorrow. eS Youngsters in Court. Disorderly conduct was the charge in the Police Court today against John Tolliver and James Meyers, colored youths of de- cidedly vicious appearance. “These boys belong to a very tough set,” } said Policeman Buckly, “and they are in the habit of loafing on New York avenue near the river. Yesterday I started to place them under arrest when one of the boys shouted, ‘Come on, you big bugger, you can’t run.’” “How many times have you been sent to jail,” asked the court of Tolliver. “Three times for larceny,” replied the prisoner. “And to the work house?” was the next query. “About seven times for shooting crap,” said Tolliver, frankly. “Well, each of you boys will have to pay a fine of $2 in this case,” was the ruling of the court. —_.__.
