well-ordered and successful institute, the
Lucy Cobb, that il is having an addition of
fifty rooms, which will be completed within
two months. Some of the sweetest and
most attractive of Savannah girls have fin

knew them. There are now some attract

seen in Savannah this winter Is OF dull blue

made the dress herself, for even Redtern

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NEW YORK. Sept. S-Todays market
started of well with prices slightly in ad-
vance Of last nights closing. but break in
Chicago Gas led to a sympathetic decline in
the remainder Of the list
The break was caused by the official an
nouncement made late yesterday afternoon
that the Peoples Gas Light and Coke Com
pany, one Of the companies controlled by
the trust, would issue sS.0e0.00 in first
mortgage bonds. This issue will be suffi-
cient to redeem outstanding bonds Of the
company, and leave a surplus Of over s..
ooooW In the treasury. The scrip dividend
OF IL per cent, TO represent the earnings
OF the current quarter, and issued by this
company, will be payable October 2, to
stockholders Of record September Il.
The general list quickly recovered from
the enects Of the decline. and continued
strong and dull throughout the morning.
AT 23O the announcement that $405, 900
clearing house certificates had been can
ceied by the loan committee led to q sharp
rally.
Time money is daily becoming more plen-
dful. and this fact, coupled with the as
sessment of 10 per cent ordered by the
controller on all certificates now outstand-
Ing, should lead to the early retirement of
the entire Issue. The continued strength of
the market is a direct violation OF prece-
dent and overthrows all theories as to its

THE CLERKS TO MEMBERS.
Labor DevOlving Upon the Hons
Clerks and Postmaster'x Bureau.

Labor DevOlving Upon the House
Clerks and Postmaster's Bureau.
The law of last Congress, authorizing the
appointment of clerks to members of the
House of Representatives. who are not, as
chairmen Of committees provided with that
useful adjunct to the transaction of public
business. has devolved a large amount Of
additional labor upon the forces of the
Clerks and postmaster's bureaus. The
organization of the House is different from
that of the Senate. a fact which accounts
for the interest the clerk has in the change.
While the sergeant-at-arms is banker for
the n embers of the House, the salary &C
count, of the employees are all kept by the
clerk. Even the Sergeant-at-arms cannot
pay himself. Therefore it will be readily
seen that the addition of about 325 accounts
to the number heretofore in charge of the
clerk. as dsbursing officer, means no small
amount of labor In preparing for the work,
Clerk Kerr found 1t necessary to provide
a form OF receipt which would pass the
scrutiny OF the accounting officers Of the
treasury, and 1t was only after several in
terviews with the controller of the currency
ana solicitor OF the treasury that salts
factory and comprehensive form was adopt
ed The terms of the law We're rather
peculiar, and in themselves furnished suffic-
lent reason for the difficulty experienced in
getting form that would pass
The law prescribed that ION and after
April i. 1893, each member and delegate of
the House of Representatives, may on the
hrst day of every month during sessions of
Congress certify to the clerk the amount
which he has paid or agreed to pay for
clerk hire necessarily employed by him in
the discharge of his official and representa-
tive duties during the previous month =
provided that the amount shall not exceed
800 for any month during the session.
The members, generally, We're of opinion
that the clerk would settle with their per-
Sonai representatives, with other employ
es, but the law does not recognize the clerks
at all in the transaction so that the accounts
are opened with the members themselves.
And they must arrange for payment to the
clerks. So far as known there are no excep-
tons to the list; every member has either
paid or agreed to pay $3.50 a month for
necessary clerk hire performed for him dur
ing that part of August in which the House
was in session.
Clerk Kerr construed the law to include
the Speaker as being entitled to q clerk.
inasmuch as the only committee of which
he is a member (beirg chairman eX-officio)-
that of the rules has no clerk.
MIR. Kerr inquired whether or not the
Speaker desired to have an account opened
for clerk, but Mr.. Crisp said he believed
he could worry along without one.
With this addition to the sum of money
handled In his office, Clerk Kerr will dis
burse about 100000 annually.

COL. ELLIOTvs REPORT.
A Years Work on the Washington
Aqueduct Detailed.


AQueduct Detailed.
Col George H. Elliot, corps Of engineers
has made report of operations on the
Washington aqueduct and the receiving
reservoir during the month Of August He
says that the excavation of the open cut
OF approach to the portal OF the main
is completed and that 1t has been found
necessary to timber thirty-eight feet Of
1t to prevent dangerous slips from the sides
Of the cut. The tunnel heading was ex-
cavated for a distance of Ito feet and the
bench was taken up for a distance Of IS
feet. The rock through which the tunnel
has so far been driven was SO bad that IL
required timbering the entire distance. All
the water. steam and air connections with
the air compressor have been completed,
the water tank put in place and the air pipe
laid from the compressor to the tunnel A
temporary railway track was laid from the
tunnel to the dump, a distance OF about
sou feet. The dynamite magazine was COM
pleted and stocked. Thirteen boundary
stones were cut for marking the boundaries
of the various parcels of land to be pur-
chased for the main drainage tunnel Pay
ment has been made to ISnatius Belt for
one OF three parcels. A contract mas been
made with the American Forcite Powder
Manufacturing Company for furnishing
1900 pounds gel2tine tunnel dynamite
and 5000 exploders. Contracts for supplies
have been made with 4. E. jackson & Co,
Thos. w. Smith, J. L. Libbey, Hugh Reilly
and Chas. Becker.
In regard to the work on the aqueduct
he says that he took advantage OF the low
stage of the Potomac to replace the rip
rap backing of the dam at Great Falls
which had been removed by freshets OF
the last two winters The total amount OF
rip-rap replaced was 9oS cubic yards. en-
bracing a total length of 2,03s feet. Col.
Elliot says 1t is not proposed to make any
connected with IL from the current appro-
priatlon for repairs until later in the
season.

To Preserve the Trees.

TO FFeSefEe the Trees.
N. w. King writes to the Commissioners
today concerning the condition Of the old
maple trees on New York avenue. These
trees, he says. are fast decaying and proper
steps should be taken to preserve them by
sfillful pruning. They are among the old
est trees in Washington and are laden with
dead wood and suckers. and 1t is believed
that careful use of the saw and pruning
knife before the leaves have fallen will
add to their beauty and continue their ex
istence for years.
