The District Appropriatious.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
Your timely and interesting editorial of Satur.
day evening in relation TO our District appropri.
atoms is in some particulars wise and iudicious
but with much Difference think your criticism
OF the Secretary of the Treasury is unfair.
Both this year and last year the District est.
mates were withheld from the Sccretary's con.
sideration by the Commissioners a whole
month beyond the time allowed by law, leaving
him. under the circumstances. insufficient time
for the itemized revision contemplated by the
law. Obviously the want of a carefully pre-
pared statement in detail is not the fault of the
Secretary.
The preparation of the estimates is really the
principal duty performed by the three Com
missioners and they have ten months of the
year In which to perfect their schedule, and
now, in addition thereto. they take half of the
time allowed by law to the Secretary

Two Decisions in Regard to the Condemns
ton of Land for Public Streets.


tion Of Land for Public Streets.
In the Court in General Term, Chief Justice
Bingham and Judges Cox and James, the latter
today delivered the opinion Of the court in the
case OF Cynthia II. Quackenbush ct al. agt the
District Of Columbia aud the q. s. marshal
This case comes up from the Circuit Court in
which Admiral Quackenbush filed petition for
q writ Of certiorari and was certified up
Messrs. Birney appearing for the petitioners
and Messrs. Hazleton and Thomas for the Dis
trict. The petitioners owned Oak Lawn and in
1887 q petition was filed for the widen
ing Of Columbia road from the
Boundary and 14th street extended and
the Commissioners advertised for persons hay-
ing objections to present them; the petitioner
appeared and presented objections and claimed
damages with others, and it is claimed that
without any effort to agree with him as to dam
ages to be paid him the defendant directed the
marshal to summon q jury and notice was
served on him that the jury would meet May
%. 1887; that on May II other persons filed a
bill for an injunction, and a preliminary
injunction was made and remains in
force. The petition states further
that notwithstanding his objection and
the injunction in October, 1883, the Commits
sioners proceeded to widen the said road. and
on the goth of that month a jury assessed dam
ages for Mrs. Stoddard, ". Walter Phelps and
the Blake heirs, but no damages to petitioner.
He AYERS he had no notice of this until
after the rendition OF the verdict, aud then
from newspaper reports. 1t is charged that in
violation of petitioners rights the Commits
sioners have taken from their property strip
l6 feot inches wide, of the value Of
$1,000, and, being dissatifed with their
action, he has applied for redress and
proposed to compromise, but they refuse aud
declare the condemnation proceedings valid.
mi5soners was notlegal and grants the prayer of
petitioner to annul the proceedings of con-
domination SO far as they effect petitioners
property.
Justice James also delivered the opinion of
the court in the case of II. W. T. Jenner against
the District of Columbia affirming the decree

upon Sanitary Officer Frank today and asked
for assistance. He gave his name as Peter
Adler, and said that his home was in New York
city. He was employed, he sand, to go down on
the bay from New York, and for six weeks he
worked on the oyster boat Elizabeth. The
dredge number, he said, was aS4. but he
did not know the name OF the captain.
His six weeks on the water he said, were filed
with kicks and curses and at tho end of that
time the captain settled accounts and found
that his expenses had more than baIarced us
pay. One charge, he said. WINS Is Tor .tsre
from New York TO Baltimore and the other
charges we're equally exorbitant. sis"1
While on the boat he said he WAS allowed

he could not eat it. Water was also scarce and
the men were not allowed enough to quench
their thirst
The sanitary officer gave him his breakfast
