New District Commissioners.

To the Editor of THE EVENING STAR:
The article with the above caption in The
STAR OF this evening seems to have been writ
ten under a Misrepresentation. The writer
seems to have supposed that our civilian Com
missioners had constituted continuous line of
republicans and democats, respectively, in reg
ular succession, but that is not the case. Capt.
Phelps, republican, was succeeded by Mr..
Morgan, democrat; and Mr.. Dent democrat
was succeeded by Mr.. West, republican
From Nov. 29, 1879, to July IS, 1S82-nearly
three years-the republicans had no represen-
tative in the board. Nobody cares anything
about the proclivities of the Commissioners on
national politics, but the period of the tenure
OF office and the terms Of the boards of Com
missioners is a matter Of much importance
Every change in the membership involves a
new board organization and a new condition Of
accounting responsibilities in the Treasury de-
partment, and these changes should occur at
the beginning OF the fiscal year as contemplat-
ed by the law. One change in January and
another in March would involve two board or
CARNATIONS and two rests in the settlement Of
the accounts within the fiscal year. Both
changes at the same time would be an improve
ment.
If, as stated, Mr.. Webb's term is to expire in
January he must now be acting under a second
appointment. He was first appointed and COM
missioned in July, 1885. The term commences
with the date of the commission and an ap-
pointment made during the recess of the
United States Senate expires with the COM
mencement of a new appointment made with
the concurrence or confirmation of the Senate

The Colored school Controversy.

To the Editor Of The EVENING STAR:
Now that the colored high school controversy
goes TO committee composed Of gentlemen Of
honor and courage, and who will not be driven
from the path Of honor by personal considers
tions, 1t will be well to inquire of Trustee Cor
nish why he did not report to the board the re-
port he read TO the committee, which not only
recommended that the two teachers should be
removed. but called the especial attention of
the board TO the testimony OF Mr. Browne. Mr..
Cornish stated that he was induced TO sign the
report presented for the sake Of appearance
of harmony of views of the committee; but was
completely hoodwinked as to the supplemental
paper and views of DIR. Francis" Mr.. Cornish
has positively declared that nothing in the in
yestigation in any manner connected the SUPER
intendent with the high school troubles He
also said that he would state his true position
and the facts to the board, that the members
might have proper information upon which to
act. II seems he has, up to the present time,
been dissuaded from doing his whole duty, or
has lacked the courage IN open board to make
known his true position The present commit
tee ought to inquire into this matter. b.

STRUCK BY A TRAIN.
An Old Colored Man Badly Injured and
Mule Killed.

A serious accident occurred a. the railroad
crossing ct Maryland avenue and 9th streets
southwest few minutes before 10 O'Clock this
morning. The Alexandria local train, drawn
by engine No. 500, with engineer Jere Desmond,
left the depot at 9:45 o'clock. At the 9th street
crossing the train struck mule team driven
by an old colored man named George Washing
ton. The old man was hauling earth used in
filling about the monument One Of the mules
was killed, the driver probably fatally injured,
and the wagon destroyed The railroad gate
was also destroyed. The wagon was going
south. There was dense fog at the time and
il was impossible to see far
THE GATEMAN LET THE TEAM THROUGH
Charles Cleveland, the gateman at the cross
ing, stated that he had lowered the gates.
Then he heard the team coming. The driver,
he said, was whipping the mules, and the ami
mails were making pretty good time. Thinking
that the driver could not stop the team in time,
but would break through the gate, he raised
the latter to let him pass before the train ar
rived. Presently there was a crash, and the
wagon and mules were thrown against the gate
to the street beside the tracks Then he heard
some one, who he thinks was the driver, make
an outcry. He could not tell whether the
driver was injured or not, or how he was taken
away.
The railroad men employed to guard the
gates complain of the reckless drivers with
whom they have to contend. The drivers,
they say, try TO get through the gates, and if
they are unable will swear and use abusive
language.
The police complain that the street-crossings
are not properly guarded; that the gatemen 60
on duty about o'clock in the morning and
leave at o'clock in the evening. After 8
O'Clock they state that the gates are not
guarded, although many lengthy trains pass
each way and many vehicles cross the tracks.
There are, the police say, many countrymen
who cross the tracks during the night, and
there is no protection for them unless they
look out for themselves.
INVESTIGATING THE ACCIDENT.
After the accident the mule which was not
injured walked away. The old colored man,
who was unconscious, was picked up by the
police and removed to his home on 2lst, be-
tween ID and E streets northwest. Superinten-
dent McKeever, of the Baltimore and Potomac
railroad in this city, Investigated the accident
and thought that the driver was responsible,
because he was driving fast at the time.
The gatemen, who, as already stated work
about fourteen hours a day, receive $50 per
month for their services. 1t is thought that il
the bell on the engine had been rung the acct
dent would have been averted, but the ringing
OF the bells on the engines is prohibited by the
police regulations. No blame is attached to
the railroad company on account of the speed
OF the train, as the train was moving very slow
when the accident occurred, and. it is stated,
stopped within ten feet of where the accident
occurred.
