Matters of Interest in and About the
Commissioners ONCE.
SEALER CRouCu's HoUsE RENT.-rhe
Commissioners are again in receipt of
complaints against Captain II. j. Crouch,
SCaler of Weights and Measures. Some
months ago, it will be remembered, COM
plant was made that the sCaler did not
pay his debts, and an effort was made to
have him put ont of his Office. \ few
days ago a real estate collector wrote TO
the Commissioners, declaring that Cap
tain Crouch had refused to pay the rent
for the house in which he lived. The
Commissioners called upon the Captain
to explain why the complaint was made.
lie has written long statement OF the
matter, in which he explains the charge
To his own satisfaction, and saws that IL is
n hamiliating thing to have his private
affairs dragged into public view.
The Commissioners are still struggling
with the liquor license problem-a re-
lection or approval. number of cases
were cleared mp on Saturday, but every
day brings new applications for Ii
ccnses or for rehearing Those who
have been rejected, according to
the liquor regulations, are allowed two
hearings before final rejection, aud in
some cases, even after what is known as
final rejection, the Commissioners re-
lent and allow another hearing. OF
course the majority of the dsallowed ap-
plicants take advantage of the hearing
and the rehearing, and thus the com
pletion of the Commissioners labor is
put off further and further.
The milclimit question has not yet
been decided and the Commissioners are
unable to tell exactly what places are
within the limit measured by u straight
line.
Attorney j. j. Johnson to-day raised
point in the case of Richard Driscoll,
whose application has been disallowed, on
the ground that he had not the
requisite number of signers. Mr.. John
son claims that his client has all the sign
ers necessary, except that of Chester A..
Snow, who claims TO be the owner of the
old baseball square on North Capitol
street, on which Mr.. Driscolls place is
situated. Mr.. Snow, the lawyer says, has
now claim before the courts for the
square, but is not the legal owner or trus-
tee, whom the law requires must he the
signer. The trustee is Thomas +. Smith,
and Mr.. Johnson believes that his sigma
trre is the one that is required and not
that of Mr., Snow The question has been
referred TO the attorney.

the late Archbishop Hughes, and at the
time of her death was the Oldest member

%, $500. Her father was William Seton,

was special favurite of Charles Carroll of
CarrolltOn, the last signer Of the Declara-
ton Of Independence. Having refused
many offers of marriage on account of
difference of religion, Catharinc Seton

community was almost exclusively de-
voted to the care and instruction of the
poor and to the spiritual consolation OF
prisoners. For twenty-five years she was
a constant visitor to the Tombs. Mother
CathaTine Seton was descended from an
old Scotch family which came to this
country in 1853. Her two sisters, Anna

The ignorance Of American institutions

not more surprising than their conception
of the spirit Of the American people.

ously to Italy's demand, and puts Fava
