wRETCHEp CAR SERVICE.

1t is no wonder that the patrons of the
lexington Street Railway are making CON-
plaintabout the poor service furnished them.
Not only are the cars secondhand, dirty
and uninviting, but they are run Oh a schedule
arranged, 1t seems, on the if-I-dcn't-
get-there-today-I'll-g get-therc-tomorTow plan
OF transfer sheds for passengers there is
none, and the whole outfit is more primi-
tive than anything known in Washington,
in the line of horse cars, for quarter of
a century, excepting, of course. always.
the Anacostia dry goods boxes on wheels
The most amusing feature about this mat
ter is the reply given TO Il delegation of
complaining citizens at the Commissioners
office. 1t was, I'VE do rot regulate horse
cars at all.'' Perhaps the people would like
to know the reason why they do not, te-
cause the charter act prescribes that the
road shall be properly equipped for the
comfort and convenience OF the travelling
public. Besides, the Commissioners admit
to have tried for some time get schedule
from this company without success, it is
true; yet if they made the demand they
must have had the right to prefer it, and
if that does not come under the head of
regulating, where does it Belong?
In this connection it may not be amiss
10 recall the attention of the public to the
fact that at the recent session OF Congress
an act was passed requiring the Ecking.
ton and Soldiers Home Railway Company
TO equip it's road and branches with air
motors within a given time, the first
period being from thirty to ninety days,
and the ultimate term eighteen months.
More than thirty days have elapsed since
that act was passed, but IL any such motor
has been exhibited on the road, or any
test made OF and with it, the public has
been permitted 10 remain in blissful ig-
DoraDce OF that fact. 1t is hardly to lie
that they do not control this sort of motive
power, for the act specifically makes them
the judges of the efficiency and sufficiency
of the new equipment.
The people along the line of the lexington
road and its various branches have been
compelled to suffer 4 most unusual array
of inconveniences and impositions, and it
is not at all surprising that their patience
is almost exhausted. So far as it lies in
the power Of the Commissioners to control
this particular horse railway, they should
certainly do so, and give some relief to
the people who are forced 10 make use Of
this road or walk.

AsCRDLY IMPERFECT.

II the authors OF all the COMPLAINTS
oral and written. that have come to The
Times regarding the absurdly incom-
petent police arrangements for the bicycle
parade Tuesday night could be gotten to-
rethcr there would be material enough
for pretty good indignation mass meeting.
There is but one opinion. 1t seems, on the
those in authority The men Themselves
were not to blame. of course; they did
the best they could under most discour-
aging circumstances. Only few patrol
men were sprinkied along the expanse of
the Avenue from Washington circle to the
Peace Monument. 1t is not an extravagant
estimate that from 10000 to 10000
people were out to see the parade. The
crowd was far larger than has ever been
seen on Inauguration day, yet the police
arran gements were on the scale of an
ordinary torch!ight process OIL. Tie whole
business showed fearful lack OF en-
ecutive ability in somebody.
Major Moore, when asked why it was
that what would have been an imposing
parade was crippled by being hemmed in
between crowds, is said to have replied
that the only way this could have been
prevented was by the use of the police
mems clubs. This shows that the men
had more discretion than their superiors.
The fact is that nothing would have been
more easy than to have given the paraders
all the room they needed. Right here 1t
should be stated. parentheticaily, however,
that the refusal of the Commissioners 10
stop the cars during the parade was a
serious blunder. and contributed not a
little to make things more uncomfortable
for the wheelers.
II the chief Of police had detailed one
mounted policeman for every two or three
squares on each side OF Pennsylvania ave-
nue. from First street to Twenty fifth, the
whole difficulty would have been overcome.
From twenty-five to thirty mounted off
GERS would have sufficed and a reserve Of
as many more on foot would have made
the arrangements perfect. Instead of the
mounted police at the head of the process
sion, who served no practical purpose,
Officers on wheels could have been used,
and the former employed in the indicated
patrol service. An officer on horseback
riding up and down the line will do more
to keep a crowd back than a half dozen
men on foot.

INSTALLED NEW OFFICERS.
Painters and Decorators Hold an In
teresting Meeting

TheiDstallation of Officers OF tie Painters
and Decorators Union, No. ITO, last even
ing, at Red Mems Hall, was attended by
the full membership of the organization.
The officers are the same as constituted the
temporary organization of the union. and
are: J Il. Campbell, president; George w.
Adams, vice-presdeDt; JOHN Haynes, ie-
coriiDg secretary; T. j. Mailer, financial
secretary; William TrecD, treasurer, NJ. T.
BarDaco, perceptor; Henry Handy, warden;
trustees, Mayer, Adams, and Jones; Gcie-
gates to C. L. u, Richard j. Maher, NJ.
Barnaco, Il. Fl. Murray, j. W. owens, and
Warren Beail
The grievance committee reported the
circumstances connected with the contract
of one of the master painters, WHO is fill
ing contract for painting at Heurich's
brewery. The committee will further in
vestigate the matter and make a report in
detail at lie next meeting.
The master painter referred to, 1t is said,
has refused to sign the working contract
of the union, and for this reason is con-
sidered unfair, although nc such action has
been taken by the journeymen painters. The
Painters and Decorators Union. on the
other hand, is affiliated with the C.. L. u,
which body has a contract with the Heurich
Brewing Company, so while the fight, il
made. will he Triangular, il will also be
two to one against the master painter.
Circumstances, similar to tie above, it is
said, also exist in reference to some work
beiDgd done at an other of the local bre weries,
SO it is expected that the master painters
interested will make strong fight Iefore
they recede from their position.
Ten application for membership were re-
ceived and favorably acted upon

BETTER DRAINAGE.

Property owners will consult their own
interests by pa yiug prompt and strict attcn-
ton to the notifications, now being sent out
by the health department, concerning the
drainage of lots and buildings. The health
officer has decided to enforce the law
strictly, the lending features of which were
related in The Evening Times yesterday,
and as the penalties for noncompliance
are very heavy, delinquents will have .
pretty large amount to pay. AT the same
time, the health officers energetic pro-
cedure is matter for conGratulation, for
defectively drained premises are not only
. menace to the health Of those residing
there, but of their neighbors. In other
words, they are a nuisance, injurious to
health, which must be abated. Connec-
tion must be made not only with the public
sewer, but also with the water main,
within thirty days from the date of roti-
fication, and has to conform to the law
and regulations governing plumbing and
house drainage.
Badly drained premises have been re.
sponsible for many mound in the Gene
terry, and there is no end to the discom-
fort they inflict upon a neighborhood.
There are residents who make practice
of throwing slops and i'll smelling offal
of various kinds into streets or alleys,
precipitating thereby conditions offensive
TO people living close by and generating
germs of disease. Their excuse has been
the lack of sewer facilities. BY the en-
forcement OF the law referred to that
excuse will hold good no longer, and per-
sons offending against the sanitary rules
will have 10 stand the consequences
In many ether ways will the enforce
ment of this law contribute to the more
perfect sanitation OF the city, as stables
and other places where animals are kept
must be severed and provi ded with water.
Thus a grave defect will be cured and
Washington will have taken another step
toward the goal of being the healthiest
eitv Ia the world.

vas at one time a Representative in

was at one time a Representative in
Congress from Alabama. When asked for
a statement or his connection with the
Claims Gen. Shelley said:
II first became Interested in the claim OF
John Erwin OF Alabama. He held five
shares OF the stock In this company When
took the case before the court Of claims
associated with me Mr.. John C. Fay. In
making an examination OF the records in
the Erwin case We discovered n letter OF
the Secretary OF the Navy-I forget who
LIE was-siSt!ng that the claims represented
by these fifty-one shares had never been
paid. We then proceeded TO secure the
power OF attorney in all the cases and got it.
Il myself presented all the claims to
Auditor FuGh, for examination. and he
took So long about it that grew little
impatient. But with all his careful
scrutiny he failed to find records Of any
former payments. The reason he failed is
now clear The old vouchers rad never
been returned to the Treasury They were
slowed away among old papers in the
Navy Department. As far as / and my
partner were concerned we were acting
in perfect good faith The fact that double
payments were being made on some of the
claims would never have been discovered
il it had not been for Lewis honesty =.
AS TO LEWIS CASE.
"when Lewis was paid in the first place
he had just come OF age. His fathers
estate was in the hands of an administrator
and is yet. 1t was from the administrator
that we secured our Power of attorney.
The administrator knew nothing of the
former payment Mrs. TuthIii, another OF
the claimants who was paid twice, was,
believe, perfectly innocent OF any fraud
She knew her husband had the claim and
up to a few days before his death he
spoke TO her about collecting it. The fact
was that it had been paid him. The Erwin
and Campbell claims have been found to
be legitimate claims, no previous payments
having been made.
Where do You put the blame i'll the case."
the General was asked.
''Well, the first payments were entirely
irregular. There is no doubt of that. At the
time they were paid there were no specific
moneys for their payment"
will the government recover the money
lost?''
Il don't know: we are TRYING TO adjust
the matter the test way we can. Mrs.
Tuthill, who is poor woman living in
Mobile, has spent most of the money she
received, and don't see how that is TO
be recovered. 1 and my partner will to
day file with the Fourth Auditor. Nr Prr-''

Mrs. Patton is a clerk in the general

drinking and had threatened to do yio-
lence to the complainant when an oppor-

Philadelphia, July l5.-There is every

waters.
Everything aboard the now famous vessel
Is in shape for immediate departure.
Capt. john O'Brien is again In command
and has with him nearly all the men re-

The Bermuda will sail under a provisional
register as an undocuInented vessel owned

The steamer Laurada. which left this
port last Saturday night for Port Antonio,
Jamaica, arrived off Jacksonville this
evening and it is alleged that a party of
Cuban insurgents was in readiness to
board her.
Several lighters loaded with ammunitiop
were said to be waiting to transfer their
cargo into the hold OF the Laurada. The
expedition is understood to he under the
direction OF DR.. Castillo of the Cuban junta.
