warmly greeted by hundreds of friends and
their reception home was marked by many
pretty and affecting incidents. The regi-

in the different provinces of Cuba
Organized under special act of Congress,
and with Capt. ID. d. Gaillard of the regu-
lar army as it's colonel. the Sd Regiment OF
Engineers made up of fine body of
picked and skilled men.
1t was claimed to be and was recognized
as of the best regiments in the volun-
teer service The discipline and feeling of
patriotism among the men was of high
character. and there was never semblance
of the least difficulty or misunderstanding
in the ranks. The officers were selected
with care, and their worth alone was con-
sidered in appointing them.
After being mustered in at st. Louis,
about 800 of its men being recruited here,
the regiment was in camp at Lexington, KY,

MatanZas and the 1st saw service in Pinar
del Rio While in the island the engineers
constructed u number of docks and per-
formed various feats of engineering skill
that won universal admiration. Their work
was high-cass in every respect, and there
is not a man but is proud of his connection
with the regiment
Col. Gaillard was in charge of the Wash
ington aqueduCt prior to his promotion in

BELIEVES TENDERS DEFECTIVE.
Subject of Commu II ication to the Dis
trict COmmi = siOners.

Mr. Arthur W. Harrison recently called
the attention of the District Commission
ers to what he said seems to be something
wrong about the tenders of the Capital
Traction Company. He inclosed a clipping
from The Star, giving an account of the
accident last month to ex-Mayor Down
ham OF Alexandria, near Pennsylvania ave-
nue. and 18th street. Mr.. Harrison said he
has often noticed that when the avenue
cars of the company are running at their
maximum speed the "pick-ups or nets
Curve upward, and bound so high that they
are far more apt to ride over man than
pick him UP. This. he said, leaves only the
wheel fender under the car to prevent a
body from being cut in two by the wheels,
and these wheel tenders, he commended, can
do no more than roll a body over push
1t along, breaking and manning. Some
thing is wrong about these devices, he
claimed, and he asked the Commissioners
to have the company correct 1t, whatever
Ii is. Mr.. Harrison also complained OF the
excessive speed of the conpanys cars when
running east on NJ street from the Aque-
duct bridge to Rock creek.
The complaints were referred by the
Commissioners to the police department
first, and they received a report to the eff
feet that it is true that the cars have been
running occasionally in excess of the speed
allowed by law. but that steps have been
taken TO put a stop to the practice. AS to
the alleged faulty working of the Tenders.
il appears from a report made to the Com
miSSionerS by one of their inspectors in the
accident mentioned the Tenders were not
shown TO be defective. The Commissioners
are informed that by timely response of the
wheel guard to contact of the body of the
injured man with the trip his life was
saved 1t Is stated that Mr. Down
man was not in contact with the front
fender at all, but that it had passed
him, and he was struck by the corner of
the advancing car. The inspector states
that it is not the function of the front fen
der to pick UP a PROSTATE body, which
must, from the nature of the tenders de-
sign, take it's chance at the wheel guard.
Mr.. Harrison will be made acquainted
with the substance of these two reports.
