STREET SWEEPING VOUCHERS.
The Reply of the District Commits
| siOners to MIR. Cranes Letter.

The Commissioners today in reply to the
letter of J. IL. Crane forwarded to them by the
first controller submitted the following:
Hon. A. C. MATTHEWS.
First Controller L. S. Treasury.
Sir: In the matter of the charges by Mr.. j.
II. Crane of fraudulent payments for street
sweeping and alley cleaning We yesterday re-
ceived what are certified to Us by the cCmput'
ing engineer as correct measurements OF all
the streets and avenues subjected to that pro-
cess. Reports from the officers IN charge OF
the duty of the execution OF the work were
received at the time of their respective dates.
These reports. with the measurements afore-
said, are here with transmitted to you.
Every charge seems to be reasonably dis
posed OF excepting duplicate credits to the con-
tractor. These are inexcusable i'll their origin
and become gross carelessness IN their repeti-
ton. We find no excuse in the fact that the
under measurements are IN excess OF the over
measurements. and that the balance OF errors
in against the contractor. Error on either side
is alarming. While no intentional fraud can be
imputed to any one, and so far as the lnvesti-
CATION has gone the District of Columbia is
the gamer by the mistakes and somewhat i'll
debted TO Nr. Draney the contractor, beyond
what has been allowed to him, it Will be prudent
and moro satisfactory to have the accounts
thoroughly examined by competent experts.
We beg to suggest and request that you de-
tail one from your office, and We will supply
him an assistant. One week will be ample time
for the most searching examination, unless
Measurements shall be found necessary. Re-
pcctfully, &c.

AS TO PAVEMENT BLOCKS
Mr.. George Richardson Replies to Capt.
Symons and Wishes a Test.

Mr.. George Richardson, who manufactures
the carbonized cement stone pavement blocks.
sent a communication TO the District build
ing yesterday in reference to the remarks
made by Capt Symons and published in
yesterdays STAR as TO the quality Of his
blocks. The letter was addressed to the
Commissioners and in this Mr.. Richardson
admits that the sidewalk laid at 9th and +
streets is faulty, but says he has offered to re-
lay it without extra charge. The blocks which
compose the sidewalk around the Church
OF the Covenant he claims are equal
II not superior to any other paving
blocks in use in this city. He has spent
great deal of money, he says, in endeavors 10
make good and cheap blocks. and he claims
that he now has machine which daily turns
cut go feet OF fine quality block; superior 10
any handmade article. Mr.. Richardson says
he VIII have nine more machines at work
within. the next ten days and he hopes
TO be able to make sidewalk material that will
surprise his enemies and please his friends.
tie complains that a great injustice has been
done him by the stated conclusions Of Capt Sy-
mons, given, he says, without testing the blocks.
Mr.. Richardson asks that his products be tested
10y three competent engineers, Col. Hams
and Capt. Symons being named as two OF them
and he concludes by offering to reiinquish any
claims he now has against the District under
contract If his block Is shown 10 be inferior 70
the handmade article which Capt. Symons saw.
Is better than the machine-made article.

Two Bows and n Pistol.

In the Police Court this morning Charles
Batson ahd George Gray, two colored boys
about thirteen years of age, were charged, the
first named with carrying a concealed weapon
and the other with disorderly conduct. They
were arrestedby Officer Keefe and the testimony
showed that the latter with a pistol in his hand
ran after girl, but the weapon was not loaded.
The other boy admitted that he pulled out the
pistol to scare the girl and said it was an old
pistol that he found on the dump. The court
recognized Batson as having been before the
court before and told his grandmother that the
best thing that she could do was to let him go
to the reform school. Gray said that Batson
gave him the pistol. The grandmother of the
Batson boy pleaded for him, saying that the
other boy led him off. The sister of Gray said
the other boy led Gray off. The boy Gray was
released on his personal bonds and the court
held the other case under adyisement.

The Capture of JEFF. Davis

The first controller of the Treasury recently
received an application from Jesse A. Atwood
of San Francisco for has portion of the
reward offered for the capture of
JEFF, Davis. Atwood said he was a
quartermaster's sergeant in the first Wisconsin
cavalry and assisted in the capture, but he
knew nothing about the existence OF a reward
until friend recently sent him a newspaper
clipping mentioning the payment of reward
money to a man in Chicago. The controller
replied that the money, amounting to about
$780, could not be paid TO him because OF the
fact that his name was not in the list includea
in the original act. nor has il since been added
to the list under certiication by the Secretary
of War. The money was apportioned among
the men whose names were mentioned accord
ing to their rank, and to pay another out of
the fund-which is about exhaustcd-would be
contrary to law. Atwood's only chance is
through special act.

PENSION ATTORNEYS FEES.
The Form of Agreement Must BE That
Prescribed by the Pension Office.

Some time ago the attention of the Secretary
OF the Interior was called to the fact that some
attorneys practicing before the pension office
were using form OF fee agreement which
differed from the form prescribed by
the office. The regular form has the
law of 1884 relative to attorneys fees
printed on the back with the following in large
type at the top of the page: Notice to claim
ants. This contract is permissible under the
law, but not compulsory" referring to the
fact that the law fixed the fee to be received by
an attorney in pension case at SO, with the
authority to charge not more than S25 under
certain circumstances. The modified form was
adopted by number of attorneys mainly, ii is
believed, to save printing. Secretary Noble,
however, decided that this modified form of fee
agreement would no longer be received. Rut
as the form had been sent out to pensioners
and was being executed he decided ~ give due
notice.
SECRETARY MOBILES ORDER.
Under date of October 25 an order was is
sued which advised attorneys that no other but
the regular form of agreement would he recog-
niZed which was executed and filed after the
18th day of November, 1883. Some of the at
torneys, however, have protested against this
order and have claimed that it WAS calculated
to delay the cases already nearly ready to be
placed before the Office
COMMISSIONER RAUMs DECISION.
Commissioner Raum was appealed to and to-
day he rendered decision, in which he held
that 'all fee agreements not in the form pre-
scribed by this office and executed after
November 10 and forwarded to TINS office will
not be accepted formal but will be returned
for correction"
The cases now pending in the Office which
have the modified agreement on file will. OF
course. not be affected. The order will not be
operative until after November Is, and the
commissioner thinks that the attorneys have
had ample notice.

"WANAMAKER's RETREAT
The Postmaster General Secluded
Revising the Department. Estimates.

Postmaster General Wanamaker is giving a
good deal of attention recently to matters con-
nected with his annual report. Just now he is
preparing the estimates of the expenses of the
postal service for the next year. Each head of
a bureau submits the estimates of what he con-
slders that his branch of the service needs,
and the sum of all these estimates constitutes
what are known as the department estimates
The Postmaster General revises the entire esti-
mates.as naturally he wants to make as good
financial showing as possible 1t is annoying
to the head of department to have his esti-
mates picked to pieces at the Capitol by the
committee on appropriations.
ANTICIPATING CONGRESSIONAL REVISION,
1t is the custom for the appropriations COM
mittee to summon before them the heads of the
departments and institute rigid examin-
atlon as TO why such an amount is needed or
why some other is SO large. So it has come
about that the department estimates are very
thoroughly gone over before they are sent to
Congress. In the case Of the Post Office just
at present MIR. Wanamaker has constituted him.
self a kind of committee on estimates. He has
taken possession OF room way up in a corner
OF the attic story of the department build
ing. This is known as 'Wanamaker's retreat
Dy the rev ofclals In the department who are
aware OF Its existence. For the most part the
einpioyes 90 not know that there ID such a
room, and as for the visitors, when they come
to the department and are told that Mr.. Wan
amaker is out they suppose that means out OF
the building. The wide-open door Of his office
tends to confirm this impression, and SO they
depart without asking any further questions.
In the meanwhile the Postmaster General is
IN HIS DEN
upstairs, and here come one after another, as
they receive the summons, the officials of the
department.. The estimates are carefully gone
over. If an item has crept in which is not sus-
ceptible OF a reasonable explanation out II
goes. If there is an item which is thought to
be too large it is reduced. The officials are
kept upon the crosS-examination griddle until
they have succeeded in satisfying Mr.. Wanna
maker and then they are released. In this way
the estimates OF great department involving
millions OF money are prepared. When such a
system Is known to exist its influence is felt
throughout the entire department and reaches
the clerks who practically prepare the esti-
mates,
