The police department is seriously embar- rassed by its large accumulation of stoten and abandoned bicycies, which have either been taken from thos: who had them in unlawful possession or picked up on the streets, and Major Sylvester is anxious that persons who have lost wheels shail come to headquarters at once and see if they can identify their property in the lot there. LAW TO BE REPEALED. Commissioners to Substitate Police Regulation for Old Ordinance. ‘The District Commissioners several days ago received a letter from Mrs. W. T. Birch of 1601 31st street, who complained that a party representing himself as an official chimney sweep had called at her residence and claimed the right to examine and sweep her chimneys. Mrs. Birch in- quired whether the man was so authorized, explaining that ‘her house is a compara~ lively new one, and the chimneys are not ioul. It is probable that Mrs. Birch will be informed that while there is an old ordi- nance directing the official chimney sweeps to visit and examine houses, and, where it appears necessary, to clean the chimneys, the law is now practically inoperative. It is also understood to be the intention of the Commissioners to repeal the ordinance, which was enacted June 3, 18538, and to adopt a police regulation requiring chim- neys to be cleaned once a year where soft coal is burned, and once every two years where hard coal is used. The old municipal ordinance in question provided that the mayor should annually ncminate and appoint two superintendents imney sweeps, and it directed them to every month, from the first of No- vember to the first of May, and once every two menths during the remainder of the year, to visit every inhabited house within their respective dfs- tricts and thoroughly sweep or scrape or cause the same to be done, every chimney or flue thereof, for which’ work the sum of 20 cents for each story and for each flue or chimney was authorized to be charged by the superintendents. The law also provided that every person refusing to allow this to be done should be fined $5, and further, that the super- intendents should be fined $10 if soot in any chimney or flue swept by them caught fire before their mext visit, and they were au- thorized to sue to recover their fees, and it was made an offense, subject to a fine of $20, for any other person than the legally appointed superintendents to clean or cause to be cleaned chimneys or flues. The Commissioners, it is understood, hold that this law was passed at a time when the great majority of the houses here were of frame construction, and when wood was largely the fuel used.’ The conditions have since so changed that it appears to them, it is said, that the old law should no longer remain on the statute books. nORGETOWN.

Harries be assured in suitable manner and emid appropriate surroundings of the high esteem in which he is held by those who served under his command during recent hostilities. The invited guests will include Tee of persons prominent in official e. All details in connection with the banquet will be determined at a meeting of the of- ficers tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock, in room 11, Center Market Armory. A movement has been inaugurated in the District regiment for the erection of a me- morial shaft to the deceased members. It is proposed that the officers and men contrib- ute one dollar each toward this worthy ob- ject, the idea being to place the shaft, if the necessary permission is obtained, in some park or public reservation in this city. Steps have also been taken to organize % regimental association, membership in which shall be open to all officers and men Who served with honor throughout the war in the regiment. ‘The physical examination of the members of the regiment is nearing completion.

His deduc- uons from all observations were that cow: gave the richest milk in November and De- cember and the poorest in April and May. One of the interesting features of the mcrning se: nm was the report of Thomas E. Miller, president of the Colored Norma Industrial and Agricultural College, on the resources of the south. He exhibited speci- mens of the fruits of the country and dwelt upon the fertility of the land, its climate and natural advantages. His samples of South Carolina tea were minutely inspected and declared to be an exellent product. —__.+___. JURY FAILS TO AGREE. Result of Suit Against Capital Trac- tion R. R. for Damages.

As there seemed no likelihood of an early re- conciliattonof opinions among the jurymen they were discharged and the case will have to be tried again. Mrs. Borland claims she was injured by the negligence of a cable-car conductor, Who started his train while she was in the act of alighting. The plaintiffs were rep- resented by Messrs. A. A.
