st. Asaph's.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
ST. ASAPH'S JUNCTION, October %
The perfect weather and rather attractive
card drew one of the largest crowds of the
meeting to the st. Asaph track this after
noon. The track, while a little sticky in
places. was anything but slow, having dried
out remarkably well.
All talk of an agreement between the st.
Asaph people and those at Alexander Island
respecting a division of dates is over, and 1t
can be regarded as settled that there will be
no agreement made. AS stated in yester-
days Star, neither club has formally con-
sidered the making of such an agreement
although II has been suggested to both as
sociations by persons friendly to both
While the st. Asaph people deny making
any arrangement with George II. Engeman,
the impression is still prevalent that the
Brighton Beach man hopes to secure the
track for q winter race meeting.

CANNOT DO BUSINESS,
Commercial Alliance COmpany's Lii
cense Revoked by Com m ssiOners.

The license of the Commercial Alliance
Insurance Company, which 1t will be re-
membered came to the rescue of the Eaui-
table, and volunteered to take its policy
holders at advanced premiums when the
latter collapsed, cannot do business in the
District of Columbia any more Today the
Commissioners voted to revoke the license
heretofore granted, and passed the follow
ing order in connection Herewith:
Whereas, 1t appearing to the Commits
sioners of the District Of Columbia that
the Commercial Alliance Insurance Com
pany has been reported by the superinten-
dent of insurance for the state of New
York as insolvent, and
Whereas, the president of the said In
surance company was notified by the Com
missioners under date of October II 1894
to show cause on or before the 10Th in
slant why the license of said company to
transact business in the District of CO.
lumbia. should not be revoked. and
Whereas, the Commissioners have re-
ceived no response to said notification, and
being satisfied that the said company has
fallen below the requirements of the act
of Congress, approved January %, 1887, en-
titled An act to regulate insurance in the
District of Columbia 1t Is therefore, in
accordance with the provisions of said act
ordered that the license granted the Com
mercial Alliance Insurance Company of
New York to Go business in the District of

THE SECTION REVOKED.
People Can Now Make Excavations
During the Winter.

People Can Now Make Excavations
During the Winter.
After considerable discussion the Com
Plumbing Regulations. This section has
caused the Commissioners any amount Of
trouble 1t was as follows:
Between November / and March / no
permit shall be issued to make any exca-
walton In any street except for necessary
repairs to sewer, water and gas pipes. IL
case Of such necessary repairs the permit
clerk Is authorized, upon presentation of
the regular application, to iss lie the neces-
sary permit"
Last year when the LIST Of November
came around, applications came pouring in.
To strictly enforce the law the Commits
sioners stood by the regulations, until 1t
was found absolutely impracticable to do SO
any longer. Persons who had erected
houses and were waiting for the interiors
to be finished, found all at once that they
could not under the new regulations, open
the street TO make sewer, light and water
connections. They argued, that 1t would
be manifest injustice to compel them TO
wait five months before making connec-
lions, and that they did not propose to have
their houses remain idle so long. Then the
depression of labor came on and the Com
missioners suspended the regulation for the
remainder of the year. When this matter
was called to the attention of the Commits
sioners this year, they referred the objec-
donable section to the plumbing board
with instructions to modify II or substi-
tute section that would not be so
severe. 1t was at first proposed to
raise the permit fee. with the hope that It
would lessen the applications, but this was
considered impracticable. and today the
Commissioners finally decided to revoke the
entire section.

DISTRICT GOVERNMENT.
Added to the Schedule.

Added to the Schedule.
The paving of K street between LIST and
North Capitol streets northwest, to cost
5000, has been added to the schedule Of
streets recommended to be improved.
To Keep Record.
H. c. Rizer, acting director Of the geologi-
cal survey, has requested the Commissioners
to grant permission to that Office to place
q nilometer or self-registering tide gauge
on the lower side of the west abutment Of
the Chain bridge for the purpose of keeping
q continuous record Of the height of the
Potomac at that point.
He further requests that the authority
should carry with 1t permission to con-
struct a vertical wooden box for the pro-
lection of the instrument, extending from
top to bottom of abutment, and to remove
by hand about three cubic feet Of rock.
Paving Asked.
Capt. Fiebeger has recommended to the
Commissioners that the lexington and
Soldiers Home Railroad Company be re-
quired to pave the entire int arsection of
9th street and Pennsylvania avenue north
west with sheet asphalt, and be allowed
to pave the space between the rails and
tracks and two feet adjacent to the outer
rail upon 9th street between Louisiana ave-
nue. and b street with vitrifed brick.
An Appointment.
Ing SohiiiiSSiONcIS tOudy appointed
Nicholas Leagre night Waterman at the
Municipal Lodging House, vice John Phil
lips, removed.
DIR. Carr Appointed.
The Commissioners today appointed DR..
w. 2. Carr commissioner OF pharmacy for
the District of Columbia, vice DIR. ID. w.
Prentiss. resigned. OF all of the available
candidates the Commissioners selected DIR.
nf n 10 i,,tf,
of therapeutics and his well-known ability
as a physician. The position was wholly
unsought. 1t is without compensation, and
considered in the light of honorary distinc-
ton. DR.. Carr is at present professor of
physiology in the Columbian College of
Medicine in this city.
Unpaid Taxes.
Some of the excuses presented to the
Commissioners by delinquent taxpayers, in
the hope Of having the penalty RENTED, are
amusing and original In many instances
the failure to pay the taxes when they be-
come due is not through any fault of the
taxpayer, but the law is mandatory and
admits of no discretion. A case in point
occurred today. A property holder. who.
by the way, is large taxpayer, left the
city after making an arrangement with a
clerk to collect the rents from certain
houses and pay the taxes. The clerk, how
ever, failed to carry out the instructions,
and deposited the money collected in bank.
When the gentleman returned he found
not only the taxes unpaid, but a penalty
Of nearly $50 against the property. In a
letter to the Commissioners today he cites
the facts In the case, and asks to be
ieved of the penalty, as 1t was through no
fault of his that the taxes remained unpaid
Also because the money for the taxes was
deposited. which is evidence that the gov
eminent would not be put to the trouble
and expense of advertising and selling his
property to secure the taxes thereon

Jersey Rnd District Teams Are Ready
for the Fray ut MARSHALL Hail.
Gov. Werts of New Jersey and those who
accompanied him to this city have been
pleasantly engaged today. Yesterday was
also a pleasant day. illumined mainly by
social sunshine. but today was several
points ahead. Last night the entire crowd
of Jersey visitors went to Albaugh's Opera
House, where the guests were greeted by
Manager Allen and entertained by Robert
Mantell and his excellent company with a
clear-cut and highly polished rendition of
the "Corsican Brothers." From the theater
many of the visitors went to the Army and
Navy Club, chaperoned by Col. Theodore
Mosher. the Districts adjutant general.
This morning Gen. Spencer had several
members of his team in the brigade rifle
gallery and kept them at work for an hour
so. The sunshine was, however more
attractive even than rifle shooting, 80 the
practice was cut short in order that those
members of the team who desired to see
som ethng of the city might have an OPP
portunity to do so.
Somewhere between 3 and O'Clock this
afternoon the visitors will call upon Presi-
dent Cleveland, but the occasion will not
be decora ted-as similar call was last
yearly full dress uniforms; this time full
dress was left at home.
Promptly at 10 O'Clock tomorrow morning
the steamer Manchester will leave for Mar
shall Hall, having on board the teams and
a crowd of Jersey RIOTERS" All necessary
preparations have been made for the con-
test, and an interesting match may rea-
sonably be expected. The teams will con-
sist of ten men each, and the firing will,
it is understood, be at 200, 500 and 600
yards seven shots per man at each range.
A number offthe- visitors and several in
terested officers of the District National
Guard will remaini in the city until after
noon. They will leave on the Manchester
when the boat makes its special trip start
ing from the wharf at 4:30 O'clock
on this trip bnly holders of tickets will be
permitted, and only ticket holders will be
allowed on the boat when J: returns to the
city later in the evening with the teams.
1t was found iimppSsble to make arrange

as cared to witness The match could be ac-
