ALL WE'RE REAPPOINTED
The Vacancies in the School Board Filled
Today.
Messrs. Haxen, Cornish md Shadd APP
pointed for Another Term - The
Last Delegation Heard Today.

The last rally in the fight for the trustee
ships In the eighth and county division took
place this morning at the District building.
Prof John NJ. Langston headed a delega-
tion In favor of the appointment of DIR. j.
c. Norwood for the position of trustee of
public schools in the county. Prof. Lang
ston said the people of the county had no
objection to DIR. Shadd, the incumbent, but
as he had left the county his interests in
that section would not be as great as here
tofore. DIR. Norwood was a resident and
taxpayer of the county and popular with
all classes. His appointment would be an
acknowledgment of brains and good judg-
ment. Rev. S. T. Wallace headed a delega-
tion of colored men in the interests OF the
reappointment of l.. A. Cornish, trustee of
public schools for the eighth division. Dr.
Wallace spoke of the good record Mr.
Cornish had II ade while trustee, and said
his reappointrnent was urged by 15 per cent
OF the citizens of the District.
After these delegations had been heard
the Commissioners went into executive ses-
sion aad reappoin ted the trustees OF public
schools whose terms had expired. They
were ID. II. Hazen of the fourth division,
L. A. Cornish of the eighth division and F.
j. Shadd of the sixth division. These ap-
pointments, however, we're made for one
year.

INDEPENDENT AMERICANS,
A New Party started Gut at Chica

N new farty started Out at Chicago.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, September 13-The Inde-
pendent American. party held a meeting
last night and nominated a ticket and
adopted platform and formally entered
the campaign. over 800 men and women
We're present
Prof. Walter Shnms, general organizer of
the American Protective Association, read
the declaration of princip&ss. The plat
form demands the extension of civil service
reform to state, city and tbwn officers, and
that Americanism be made the only tenure
of office On the question OF immigration
1t asks for q five year residence as a quail
ification for a voter and also that he must
be able to read the Constitution of the
United States.
All trusts are denounced. The money of
the government, 1t says, should be gold,
silver and greenbacks, and all should be
legal tender, and it asks the establishment
ct postal savings banks. "A tariff for pro-
lection is demanded, and that tariff and
protection be taken out of politics.
The public schools should be held free
from sectarian influence and United States
Senators elected by direct vote of the peo-
pie. One plank in the platform says il the
mayor or the county officials are cognizant
of corruption and they do not undertake to

Another series of resolutions by A. w.

THE AQUEDuCT BRIDGE

duct bridge under the te.ms of the river
and harbor appropriate ton bill approp,fating
$ol,V7O for that purpose This appropria-
ton was based on an estimate made by
Major Davis in July, 1888, and strongly
indorsed by the Commissioners of the Dis
trict.
Six of the piers Of the bridge, including
pier No. 4, have been undermined, more or
less, at their upstream ends and the ap-
preparation will undoubtedly be exhausted
in their repair. Pier No. is the most
defective one and more than half of the
available funds will be needed to put IL
in good condition. The crack in this pier
has widened perceptibly since the fall of
1885, and in January, 1894, it was necessary
to band the pier with iron rods, notWith-
standing which a second crack made it's ap-
pearance in April last. A box girder was
then placed on top of the pier in order to
transfer the weight of adjacent spans from
the Insecure end of the pier to its middle
These precautions were only temporary
and exhausted all the funds that were
ay valuable at that time for the work. The
failure of pier No. or of either of the
other unsafe piers would involve the loss
of two spans of the bridge and perhaps of
human life. Major Davis was prompt in
beginning the work of repair and may
be confidently expected to push it to a
rapid completion.

BOLTING PLANTERS MEET.
They Come Out SqunreIy for the Re
publican Ticket.

NEW ORLEANS, September 13.-The
sugar planters bolting from the democratic
party and great many of the old-line
republicans held a meeting yesterday i'm
Plaquemine parish, at Point Ala Hache
near the home Of Ex-Governor Yarmouth.
There were about 300 boilers, republican
negroes and about 100 democrats in the
meeting.
The meeting was called for the discus
sion of sugar, but turned out to be a meet
ing gotten up by the boilers in order to
organize the party in the first congressional
district. Two special trains were run down
fICm New Orleans.
The meeting was lively James Will.fn-
son, brother of the collector of the port
and bolting planter, addressed the meet
ing, coming out sQuareiy for the republi-
can party. He also drew up the resolutions
adopted in the meeting, indorsing ropubIi-
caEism and arranging the party machinery
Ex-Naval Officer Kernochan, who served
in that capacity under Mr.. Clevelands for
mer administration and who is a bolting
planter, presided. Republican speeches were
made by State Senator Estopinel and Geo
Mann, both sugar planters, and by G. p
Anderson, a planter and a republican. The
tenor of the speeches of the boilers were
strong for out and out republicanism. They
did not mince matters in the slightest.
JSmeS Wilkinson. State Senator Estopinel
and George p. Anderson are mentioned in
connection with the race for Congress
against the regular democratic nominee.
Ex-Governor Yarmouth has so far kept
away from these meetings. The action
of the planters meeting recently held in
this city was indorsed and the meeting
adjourned without taking further action.

STREET CAR TENDERS
The Attorney for the District Renders an
Opinion.
The Street Railways 10 EIe Compelled
to Equip Their
Cars.

The Commissioners are, in earnest about
compelling the street railroad companies of
the city to equip their cars with the latest
improved and best fender for the protection
of life and limb. The last appropriation
bill gave the Commissioners authority to
select a fender and made it mandatory
upon the railroad companies to put it upon
their cars.
Since that time the Commissioners have
been giving this subject more than usual
attention. Engineer Commissioner Powell
has been in correspondence with all of the
prominent railroad companies in the coun-
try, with view of getting their views upon
the subject. Inventors have submitted
models of their devices and the representa-
tives Of the local street car companies have
carefully Investigated them.
Several days ago, while the Commission
ers We're discussing this matter in board
session, the question arose as to the best
means of bringing about the desired result.
Capt. Powell suggested that an order be
issued requiring the several street railroad
companies of the city to equip at least two
of their cars with a patent fender He be-
lieved that in this way the Commissioners
could arrive at the practical value of the
different inventions, and In that way secure
fender which would solve the problem.
But there arose a question as to the Com
missioners' power to make such an order,
and the papers were accordingly sent to
Attorney Thomas, with the request that he
furnish an opinion as to the scope of the
Commissioners powers in TIE premises. This
was done today, the attorney holding that
he doubted the right of the Commissioners
to enforce such an order. Mr.. Thomas, in
his opinion, said
Il doubt the right of the Commission ers
to enforce such an order. The law il seems
to me. comrels a standard fender and the
regulation requiring the railroad company
10 II on all their cars and not expert
ment as to two cars. l have, therefore, pre-
pared some regulations on the subject, which
l herewith hand to you, and have put in
shape the lead pencil memorandum above
referred to, which l also inclose. | would
suggest, as solution Of the matter, that
represe natives of the several street rail-
road companies interested In the question
be invited to cooperate in the selection of
fender and that the Commissioners select
what appears to be the best fender for the
protection OF life and limb. and then re-
quire the companies to equip their cars with
them

IN COL. VOLkMAR'S FAVOR.


The recent controversy between Col. VIM.
]. Volkmar Of the adjutant generals de-
partment and certain other officers at the
army post on Governors Island, on the SUBJ
ject Of quarters, has been finally settled In
favor Of Col. Volkmar. This result is in ac-
cord with an old practice in the army allow
ing a senior officer precedence in the mat
ter Of quarters. regardless of their occu-
pancy by other officers Of junior rank. Col
Volkmar was assigned quarters at Govern
Cr's Island. which Mrs. Volkmar thought were
rot quite SO good as the quarters Of a Junior
officer of the same place. The colonel, ac-
cordfngfy, applied for an exchange of quar-
ters. Gen. Howard denied the applica ton
Appeal was made to the War Department,
and after good deal of circumOcution, the
matter has been decided in favor Of Col.
Volkmar. The quarters in question were oc-
cupied by Capt Kingsbury, a son-in-law of
the late Gen. Slocum. In view of the scan
DIAL created by this controversy, 1t is prob
able that 1t will be necessary to assign that
officer to another station.

LAYING HIS PIPES.
Mr.. BOuteale Would Like to he Secre-
tary of the Navy.

AS an echo Of the Maine campaign comes
the statement that Congressman Boutelle,
who figured quite prominently in the cam
paign, is already laying his pipes for a
cabinet position in 1891. if a republican
President is elected. 1t Is said that when
MIR. Mckinley visited Maine during the re-
cent campaign Mr.. Boutelle was his right
hand man, and made it quite apparent that
next to Mr.. Reed he loved Mr.. Mckinley
as presidential possibility. In fact, in
speech at Bangor, where he introduced Mr.
Mckinley, Mr.. Boutelle stated that if a son
or Maine were not chosen by the national
republican convention, the pine tree state
would be found in line for Mckinley. 1t is
said that Mr.. Boutelle, ex-chairman of the
committee on naval affairs, would rather
De secretary of the Navy than ANYTHING
else In the world, and that he is not quite
certain yet who will have the bestowaI of
the portfolio, Mr.. Reed or Mr.. Mckinley.
SOMA, SO mat his attentions to presidential possi-
Diiities may be said to be polygamous at
this stage of the proceedings.
