An Opinion ON Them From the At
torney for the District.
An opinion from the Attorney for the
District regarding the preparation of pri-
vate detectives bonds was received at the
District building this morning. The opin-
ion was rendered at the request Of Com
missioner Ross, who wished to know
whether or not analogous bonds should be
made out to the District Of Columbia or
the Commissioners. In the opinion it is
stated that all such bonds should be made
out to the District of Columbia, and that
the conditions under which they are issued
should be set forth in the following man
ner:
THAT If said - shall well and truly
perform all and singular the duties OF his
Office of private detective as aforesaid. and
hold and save harmless the said District
and its Commissioners from any and all
loss, cost, damage, or expense during his
term Of service as such private detective,
then this obligation to be void and of no
effect; otherwise to be and remain in full
force and virtue in law
1t was also suggested that the bonds be
so changed that they will expire within one
year from the date of their original execu-
tion.

The bridegroom Absent.

MILLERToN, N. Y, Oct. 12.-Miss
Flora Haight. of Sharon. is being con-
graduated on her escape from what her
friends say may have turned out a bad
matrimonial venture. She and George
Lafayette, of Winsted, were to have
been married yesterday at the home of
her parents. The feast had been pre-
pared, and the guests were assembled.
All awaited the coming of the bride
groom, but when an hour passed and he
did not come, the brides father tele-
phoned Dafayette's employer at Win
sted. George is not feeling well TODAY. :"
was the answer that came over the
telephone. When the brides father re-
turned TO the waiting guess they express
ed Indignation, with the exception Of Miss
Haight, who said she was grateful for
what she termed deliverance from an un-
suitable husband. The country is excited
over the matter, Mr.. Haight threatening
to chastise Lafayette on sight.

sEWELL SUCCEEDS QUAY.
The New Captains Rapid Advance
Since Leaving West Point

Robert Sewell, son of United States Sem
ator Sewell, of New Jersey, has been ap-
pointed captain in the Seventh Cavalry,
to succeed A. G. Curtain Quay, son of
Senator Quay, of Pennsylvania. The fact
that one Senator's son succeeds another
Senator's son caused considerable unfayor-
able comment in army circles, but at the
War Department it was said that the ap-
pointment was in the regular line of pro-
motion.
Young Sewell graduated from West Point
and was made second lieutenant in the
Seventh Cavalry, June 2, 1892. and first
lieutenant in the First Cavalry, October
"a, 1898. He served as captain of volun-
teers from May "a, 1898, until he was ap-
pointed a first lieutenant of the First
Cavalry. To reach the grade of captain
in the regular army six years after leaving
West Point is considered very rapid pro-
motion, even with the war with Spain as a
big factor to aid. but the department Off
cials insist that Sewell has not been
shown any favoritism.

NEW PoSToFFICE CROWDED.
The Department Likely to Rent a
building for Storage Purposes.

The Postoffice Department is really
crowded for space, said a prominent
official of that department to a Times re-
porter this morning. I'VE have a lot Of
furniture and files remaiing in the old
building" he added, land We are unable
TO find a place for them in our new quar-
tiers. The Postmaster General, under the
law, can lease or rent a building, and he
viii probably do so in day or two, pro-
Gated.
The Land Office people will need all the
space in the old postoffice building. and
they are now objecting to our furniture
and files remaining. II is not improbable
that the Postmaster General may recon-
mend in his report to Congress the erec-
ton OF large storehouse for the use Of
the Postoffice Department"

The rnspection of Scales.

Several local firms that maintain branch stores,
have urged the District Commissioners to exempt
the large weighing scales in their depots of sup
plies from the tax and inspection directed by law.
They represent that their largest scales are used
solely for weighing supplies to be sent to the
branch stores, and could not possibly affect the
weighing of goods for purchasers The matter has
been in the hands of W. c. Haskell. the District
Sealer of Weights and Measures, for some time
and his decision is 10 the effect that it is quite
as necessary that the scales referred to be prop
erly inspected ard sealed those of any other
Dealers"
