Foot Cut OFF.

While attempting to board freight train
at Perryvile on Sunday Afternoon, on the P.
W. & B. Railroad, William b. Patterson, Of
Baltimore, fell under the wheels, one of his
feet being cut off. The company's physician
found it necessary to amputate the leg few
inches below the knee. The injured man was
taken to the City Hospital in Baltimore by
Alex. Peoples, Bridge Superintendent at
Perryville.

The Smoke Nuisance.

The Commissioners call attention once

nuisance that has given rise to many com
plants during the past few years. Their
recommendation Of action should be
adopted by the District committees, for

-cles in the way of such practically per-
fect furnace construction and management

The Com mmissfoners' ReUOrt.

The District Commissioners present an
Interesting review of local affairs in their
annual report published in full i'm The
Star yesterday. In most respects their
summary is strong and satisfactory. They
give the fullest force to the arg iments for
a new municipal building, for a contagious
diseases hospital. for increases in the fire
and police departments, for new IegisIa-
tlon permitting the performance of munich
pal Work by days labor and for the reor-
ganization of the street sweeping depart-
ment on the basis of municipal control and
certain percentage OF hand work. An un-
usual amount OF space is devoted to the
consideration of health matters and the
Commissioners show CLEARLY that legisla-
ton must lie had for sewer and water SUD-
ply improvements and for certain reforms
in the Police Court TO insure the efficiency
OF existing laws if the startling disc repancy
between the death rates of the colored end
white population is TO be successfully dealt
with and reduced.
In the matter of garbage DISPOSAL how
ever, the report is somewhat disappointing
The Commissioners dismiss the subject
with two brief paragraphs, which make no
reference wha teyer to the recent failure of
the contractor TO comply with the speci-
fcations by burning the garbage accord
ing to his agreement. The Commissioners
refer to the health officers report Oil the
subject, but unfortunately that document
was prepared and submitted prior to the
failure of the contrat tor and the Comm:s-
sioners' omission row TO give Congress no.
tice of this fact leaves the violation of tie
contract and of the law hanging between
the reports without embodiment in any
official presentation. Therefore unless the
Commissioners make good this deficiency
later by submitting special report on the
subject. Congress will remain in ignorance
as far as formal announcement goes of the
interesting occurrences OF the last few
weeks.

matter of inaugurating President But
the proposition never carried very far. 1t

The United States in Mr.. Jefferson's time
