CAPT. BEACH m pErRorr.
He Tells Of Uniqud system Of NUM-
cipal Ash C611actiou.

A letter has just been feceixed by Wash
ingtonian from Capt. sLansfng H. Beach, for
mer Engineer Commiss5ener of the District,
in the course of which that officer, now sta
toned at Detroit in chafgx Of the lighthouse
establishment Of the eleventh district notes
his comfortable readjAsement of duties.
Capt. Beach speaks higbay Of the climate
OF Detroit. and In discussing the city itself
he says:
'The city is well managed, and the people
have good reason to DE proud of it. They
solve the matter of the collection of the
ashes here in manner that is new to me;
every man just dumps his ashes into the
alley and makes pile beside his back gate.
Then In the spring the city comes along
and cleans up all the piles, thus making
Just one Job. one collection trip of the
whole business and there are no reports of
failure to call OF complaints concerning the
harshness OF the rule about receptacles.
Inc piles do not seem to get knocked or
scattered about by wagons or wind. and the
view up or down~an alley in this burg is at
present like looking at couple Of noun
tain ranges as they used to be represented
IN the old Biographies; showing a success
sion OF cone-like' peaks. Whether adapted
to other cities or not, the system certainly
seems to work satisfactorily here"

sin and Israel Washburne of Maine. They
were all brothers Of. the former senator
from Minnesota, Another brother, Charles
Ames Washburne was, at the breaking out
of the civil war, editor of the Alta Califor-
nian Of San Francisco. He was sent as a
commissioner of the United States to Para
quay and later as minister to that country.
He was a distinguished invenOr.
OF seven brothers, all natives Of Liver
more, Me-, all reached more or less dis
tinction in public life. William D. Wash
burn is the only survivor of the illustrous
family. In Washington Elihu B. Washburne
is better remembered, particularly by sur
vivors of a former generation, because of
his distinguished service in the House of
Representatives, and later as premier of
President Grants first administration. He
was first elected to Congress as whig in
1853 He easily became republican and
remained in the House for sixteen years.
He represented the Galena Qll) district. He
was personal friend of Grant and it was
he who saw the possibilities for the great
warrior that Grant proved to be.

B., Charles Ames and William D.. left his
home in Maine when a young man and
went to the west. He was sent to Congress
from Wisconsin in 1855 and served until
1861 when he entered the Union army. He
was a friend of Grant, and was with him
during the siege about Vicksburg and in
other important engagements. In 1867 he
was returned to Congress and continued to
serve until 1871. Israel Washburne was
governor of Maine well distinguish
ed member Of Congress for several terms
from that state.

Maj. sylvester's Report on Bill Pro-
viding for Their Detention.

Ine District Commissioners have receiv-
ed statement from Major Richard Syl-
vester. the chief Of police. concerning Sen
ate Dill 2699, providing for the detention Of
persons dangerously insane The bill was
recently favorably reported by the Com
missioners, but was referred back to them
by Mr.. Charles Moore clerk to the Senate
District committee, at the instance Of Sena-
tor GaHinger. Mr.. Moore called the atten-'
ton of the Commissioners to the fact that
under the provisions Of the bill it would
be impossible for the courts to commit in
sane persons to private hospitals. He sug-
gested that the temporary commitment
clause might be changed so as to provide
for commitment to either the Washington
Almshouse Hospital or the Government
Hospital Tor the Insane. He called aeten-
ton to the recent case Of a patient who
was insane and committed. suicide by jump
Ing from hospital window in connection
with the bill
in having the bill framed, says he is not
aware there Is any law preventing the
courts from sending the class of prisoners
referred to in this bill to any Of the hos
p1tals In the District of Columbia for treat
ment. either for physical or mental trouble,
but he says that in his opinion it would be
best for the community, well the un-
fortunate demented, If the court would
CoHiiHil tneH directly TO the Government
Hospital for the Insane under temporary
permit, If necessary, pending further ju-
dfcial inquiry Continuing, Major Sylvester
says:
Mr.. Moore calls to mind a death which
occurred l infer, at the Garfield Hospital
short time ago, where person delirious
with fever, during the absence of the nurse
who had him in charge, jumped from a
window and afterwafd died from the in
juries received
Il am acquainted with the widow Of the
deceased and from my information the pa
tient was in the hospital as a private paid
patient, having been placed there by his
wife, who employed nurse for him. The
gentleman was not confined in the hospital
as demented. neither was he sent there
through the action OF the court"

affect the prices. The demand has been
good and thousands have been sold during
the last day or two.
The price Of butter remains the same
no change being noted since last week.
Monday is the last day of the season for
bass and as result the supply on hand
is quite small. There is a scarcity Of shad
from the Potomac and southern waters, but
there Is a plentiful supply of rock and
perch, and the demand is good
It was said by fish dealer at the market
yesterday that there was a greater demand
for fish during the day than has been the
case for five years at this season Of the
year.
Easter lilies were much in evidence this
morning and there was great demand. for
them. The supply is good and the prices

Assessments Made Twenty Years AGO.

Mr.. E. W. w. Griffin, the acting assessor,
has called the attention of the District
Commissioners to the fact that in the ad-
vertised list of taxes and assessments re-
ported to the collector for sale in April
next, there appears items of special assess
ment over twenty years old, which, under
order Of the Commissioners, are not re-
ported on tax certificates Mr. Griffin saws
in view Of the opinion of the city solicitor
based on the decisions of the courts, such
sales would appear to be of questionable
validity. and he recommends that the coll
lector of taxes be directed to omit from the
sale all taxes and assessments over twenty
years old. The recommendation has been
approved by the board
