How the Commissioners Should Treat th<
Suit Of the First National Bank.
The Commissioners have received . reply
from Attorney Hazelton in the matter of ths
request Of the Commissioners for his opinion
as to the propriety of waving the plea of the
statute Of limitations in the suit BY the FRS,
National Bank Of New York city to recover the
balance OF the amount loaned by said bank q
the board Of public works in 1872, which was
attempted to be secured by deposits Of special
assessment lien certificates against the Wash
ington and Georgetown and Metropolitan raul.
road companies.
Some time during the existence Of the board
OF public works during . cramp in the money
market the First National Bank of New York
advanced over 100000 to the district A
stated above this amount was ATTEMPTED to be
secured BY deposit with the bank Of special as
sessment lien certificates. OF these certificates
4Z,6z0. 40 were issued against the property OF
tne washington and Georgetown and Metro
Ro sad ,I railroad companies, which re-
Of i limitations pay The pl Ssrs, sss
brought suit to recover the amounts, but the
railroad companies defeated it. The bank now
sues the District for the amount represented
oy these railroad certificates. Mr.. Hazelton
says In his opinion that the Commissioners
"NAu 'tedt Vic matter as an honest 0eDt, ana
that the statute OF limitations should not be in
terposed in the way Of its inst and honorable
payment. The delivery Of these certificates to
the bank did not take place until some months
after the money had been paid to the
district, and it appears that all OF the &405 600
has already been adjusted, either by collection of
the assessments from the property owners or by
the issue Of drawback certificates under the
acts Of July ~, 1878. July 4, 1884, February IL,
1889, and July 2, 1890, with the exception of
those embraced in the statute and the excep-
tion OF such other liens still held and uncol-
lected by the bank, the assessments upon
which they are based being good and
valid: Mr.. Hazelton quotes from ex-Attor-
ney Riddles opinion and SAYS while he con-
siders the law Of June 2. 1880, which provides
that the railroads shall pay the assessments
mandatory upon the Commissioners, it is not
mandatory upon the creditor of the District,
and he fails to find an instance where a NUM-
cipality has plead the statute of limitations
against such a claim or against any claim for
money which has gone directly into its own
treasury for its own use.
The Commissioners will give the matter care
full consideration before deciding the question.

What q Publication Meaus

In the Probate Court yesterday Judge Hag-
ner decided in the matter Of the Bland estate
that an order of the coast directing the publ
cation Of a notice "once week for three
weeks does not merely mean the publication
OF the notice three times within q period less
than three full weeks, but it means that the
notice shall be published for three weeks and
once during each OF the three weeks. That is
beginning with the fret publication, there must
intervene between the date Of that publication
and the happening Of that Of which the publ
cation gives notice three full weeks.

THE CooIlfIssARY.

tnree men, Delng q detail from the reOrganlZed
and now fourishing ambulance corps, will &C.
company the line of march and look out for
any accidents or mishaps.
THE CoMMIssARY.
During the trip the work Of providing for
the inner man will be looked after by Capt
Ed Neumeyer, the commissary captain of the
District guard. who covered himself with glory
and preparation In his successful effort to feed
the guard at the camp at Fort Washington last
year. 1t is a safe bet that If the cavalry don't
get all they want to eat on the trip it will not
be Capt. Neumeyer's fault For this trip the
regulation provisions have been drawn from
the War Department and portions of
these traded off for various articles
calculated to better decorate the pampered
stomachs of militia soldiers. Such provisions
as IL Is possible to obtain along the line of
march viii be taken in. The wagon train car
rying the commissary stores and tents consists
of three four-horse wagons. water cart and q
light wagon. in which Capt. Neumeyer will dis
port himself while on forage for provisions.
HosPITALITIEs RENDERED.
While erything on this trip is not expected
to be Of a roseste hue. there will undoubtedly
be a large slice If fun. The inhabitants along
the line of march seem inclined to throw every
thing open for the boys. At Winchester, espe-
ciaily, where the camp will remain fixed for
three days, good time is expected. Col Null
ton of the Virginia National Guard will meet
the troop and escort them in. The camp will
be in the fair grounds and from reports there
are various festivities in preparation. At Lees
burg too, good time is respected and at Round
Hill q reception has been extended the troop.
SKETCH OF THE COMMAND.
From its past record it is safe TO assume
that the local cavalry will make thorough
going success Of their trip and leave a reputa-
ton in the neighboring states for soldierly
bearing. Formed on the 18th Of December
1883. aud mustered into the National Guard
December %, the company has had a success
full history throughout. Many difficulties were
encountered and overcome and the troop has
passed through the ordeal Of two camps with
great credit to themselves. At the last camp
their record was excellent one, and whether
escorting President Harrison or performing
night detail on the river Capt Barbour and
his command were found equal to the emer-
gency.
The troop is an especially well Offered
command. Capt. Harry Barbour is well
known as q successful young business man.
while both Lieuts. Eiker and Ferguson have
