Word was received by Adjutant General Drum this morning by telegraph that Capt.

This troop consists of forty- eight men and forty-two horses. Maj. ter, the commander of the 4s here’ to assumé command, First Lieut.

No inconvenience will result, however, as the cavairy troops can be comfortable in tents until cold Weather. General Sheridan is destrous of making Fort Myer the show cavairy post of the country, and has recommended to the Secretary of War that 000 of the barracks and quar. ters funds of the Division of the Atlantic be devoted to the m improvements at Fort Myer. A new barracks will be needed and also iditional stables. ‘The officers’ quarters are ample, It 18 confidently expected that the greater Ari of this sum, 1¢ not the whole, will be suthor- to be expended, and then the post can be put in excellent condition before the snow files.

LOCOMOTIVES WRECKED AND A PASSENGER COACH OVERTURNED—THRER PASSENGERS INJURED. ‘The Cincinnatt and St. Louis Umtted express train which left the Baltimore and Ohio depot in this city at a quarter past 3 o'clock yesterday af- ternoon collided with the Cincinnati express coming east at Gaithersburg, Md., on the Metro- politan Branch shortly before 4 o'clock p.m. The collision was caused by the air-brakes of the west- bound train refusing to work properly. When the ‘west-bound train reached Gaithersburg it ran upon the switch to wait for the east-bound, which usually passesit there. ‘The air-brakes failed to work, and the west-bound train ran through the switch on to the single track and was run into by the east-bound train, which 1s one of the fastest trains on the road, ahd was running at a high rate ofspeed. ‘The accident occurred just at the end of the double track recently finished, and at a sharp curve beyond the station, within the corporate limits, ‘The engine of the east-bound train was completely demolished, and one coach of the west- ound Was thrown down an embankment on its side and considerably damaged. The west-bound engine had its cylinder torn off. The engines, baggage-cars and two first coaches of both trains left the track, but remained on the trucks. They were slightly damaged. ‘The train hands, strange to say, escaped injury. ‘The shock of the collision greatly alarmed the passengers, but only three are known to have been injured, Mr. D.

Johnson against the District of Columbia for overflow of basement on Missouri avenue, decided in Washington some time ago. Mr. Young owns a house and lot on Cameron street, near Henry. The head waters of the old creek, now known as Tanhorse drain, formerly crosséd King street in a ravine at Henry street, but years ago a brick culvert was built through the ravine, which was filled up and Henry street laid out on thetop. It is sald that until railroad embankments were made the water flowed freel: on Henry street into the culvert and southeast to Hunting Creek at Jones’ Point, but it is claimed on the one side that a change in the street grade has caused the overflow by Mr. Young's property by back-water in rain storms, and on the other itis urged that the overflow is due to natural Cae which the corporation 4s not responsible. ‘The case will probably be de- cee unis: ar wh Court, CORPORATION T.—The lon.

Col, Wilson, Commissioner of Public Buildings ‘and Grounds, in his annual report to the Chief of Engineers, shows that during the past fiscal year there was expended in improvement and care ot Public grounds the sum of $63,922.05; repairs, fuel, &c., Executive Mansion, $28,006.98; lighting, &c., Executive Mansion, $13,629.47. THE NATIONAL DRILL. He states that no material damage was done to the ellipse in the rear of the Executive Mansion ‘by the National Drill, and anticipates that by early autumn the grass on the ellipse will be in as good condition as before the drill. On thissubj he says: “It was believed that the drill would be @ national affair, would advunce the interests of the militia throughout the country, and that the Use Of the grounds for this purpose was therefore eminently proper. It will be well, however, in my opinion, to select some other section of the city for adrill and camping in case it 1s proposed wo i the affair, or in case it may be deemed best by the proper authorities to ta similar privilege, it should be coupled with the proviso Unat only the troops be allowed on the lawn of ths ellipse, and that ‘no structure of any Kind be e upon it.” No money has been expended in repairs incident to the drill THE GREENHOUSES. Extensive repairs were made to the greenhouses during the year. Several of them were rebuilt, and additions to some were constructed.

He heartily approves of the plan of holding con- certs in the public parks on Sunday. Ibis urged that a special appropriation be made for completing mound in Armory Square, around the Pennsylvania Depot, and planting 1 with ‘and for the construction of an asphalt walk along the side of the main road between 3d and seventh streets. MARION SQUARE. It 1s recommended that the park on South Caro- lina avenue, between 4th and 6th streets, contain ing 15,344 square feet, be known hereafter as Marion Park. ‘The Commissioner says that much trouble has ‘een experienced in ting the flower-beds in the public parks. Plants and herbs have been frequently pulled up by the roots. Much annoy~ ance has also been caused by chickens running at large and destroying lawns and flower-beds. ‘A further appropriation of $45,000 will be re- quired to complete Garfield Park. REMOVAL OF RAILROAD TRACKS FROM PARKS RECOM- MENDED. ‘The Commissioner renews his recommendation for an appropriation of $3,000 to improve the reservation south of the Smithsonian grounds, now used by the Baltimore and Potomac Railroad Co, He thinks that the tracks should be at once removed from the park, and cites laws showing that the company has ndt legal right to the occu- ancy of the park. ELECTRIC LIGHTS FOR THE WHITE LOT. It is recommended that a tower about 150 feet high be erected in the centerof the White Lot ellipse, from the top of which shall be shown six arc lamps of 2,000-candle power each, the tower to be of the vest lap welded tubing with malleable iron fituings and di: al brace rods, at a cost of $750.
