INSPECTIONS OF FLOUR.
Corporation Counsel Renders an Opin-
ion on Two Points.

A. B. Duvall, the corporation counsel, has
submitted an opinion to the District
Commissioners in which he holds that al
though the commission Of the -four inspec-
tor of the District has expired, he may
legally exercise the duties Of the Office until
his successor Is appointed and qualified.
The opinion was called forth by a COM
munication from w. NJ. Gait Co. to
the District Commissioners, in which two
questions respecting the inspection Of -four
were raised. These questions were:
Ffrst-Whether the present acts of the
rour inspector who was appointed jan
uary 8. 1899, are legal and official. Second
what Is the legal effect and weight of the
certificate Of the flour INSPECTOR
"On December 21. 1885," says Mr. Duvall,
congress passed an act regulating the in
spection Of -four in the District of Column
bia. Section 1 of the act reads as follows:
That the Commissioners of the District of
Columbia shall appoint for said District two
inspectors of flour, who shall be competent
judges Of flour; said inspectors to hold
once two years, unless sooner removed by
the Commissioners
1t Is claimed by some that the authority
Of the Commissioners under said section
was exhausted when they made the first
appointments under said section, and that
IN. .ne once OF inspector OF -four was A mere
temporary office
The whole scope of this act of Con-
gress indicates rather a permanent regula-
ton of the subject-matter than a tempo
rary provision therefor. Congress was
regulating the inspection of flour in the
District OF Columbia presumptively estab-
fishing system therefor.
1t is usually provided by law that Off
GERS appointed for fixed terms shall hold
not only for that. term, but until their sue
cessors are appointed.
II am Of the opinion that the flour in
spector. although his commission has ex-,
pired. may legally exercise the duties of
this office until his successor is appointed
and qualified; and that consequently the
present acts OF the flour inspector are legal
and official"
With regard to the second question as to
the weight and effect of the certificate Of
the -four inspector. Mr.. Duvall SAYS:
Inc act of Congress does not provide
Tor any certificate by the inspector: it con-
templates an inspection by him and the
marking, branding stenciling OF certain
words designating the degree of fineness
which he shall at the time of inspection de-
termine the -four entitled to. Provision is
also made in the act for an appeal from
his Judgment to the commissioners of in
spection.
Il am Of the opinion that In the abb
sence of fraud and subject to the right Of
appeal. the Judgment OF the inspector Of
flour is final and conclusive. but no mere
certificate by him would have any eviden-
ttal quality. it would be a mere memoran-
dunn indicative of what his testimony would
be IL he was called as a witness In a con-
troverted matter: the only legal certificate
given by him. If that could be called such
being the afiixing imposition of his
mark. brand stencil at the time of in
spection.

Hyattsville and Vicinity.


HYATTSVILLE. Md. August 4, 1902.
The funeral of the late Major James NJ.
T. Young, United States marine corps IRE
tired), took place from st. Jerome's Catho-
lie Church this morning at 10 o'clock, the
mass being conducted by Rev. ]. P. Tower,
pastor. A large number of the frends of
the deceased were present. The pallbearers
were DR.. ]. r. Owens, DR.. G. A. Richard
son. ]. Harris Rogers. Frank Queen. For
ney Queen and James n. Fitzpatrick.
The body was conveyed to Annapolis on
the 1904 train and was met at the depot
In that city at o'clock pm. by battalion
of marines. The remains were inferred
with military honors in the government
cemetery at Annapolis.
Mr.. W. r. Wilson has commenced the
erection Of two dwelling houses in East
Riverdale and will build three more in the
near future.
Mr. Livingstone Browning OF East River
dale, who has been quite i'll for several
weeks. has greatly improved in health and
gone to Cape May to spend a month.
Mr.. Cassius c. Magruder Of Tuxedo has
gone to Atlantic City.
The democrats have arranged to COM
mence their congressional campaign about
the middle of next month and politics in the
fifth congressional district will begin to be
lively and exciting. The congressional con-
vention will be held at Cross Street Market
though the state central committee for this
county has not yet set the time for holding
the primaries and the county convention
1t is thought that the primaries for choosing
delegates to the county convention will be
called for the 9Th of September and the
county convention, which will select dele
gates to the congressional convention, will
be held on the 9th of September. So far 1t
appears that B. Harris Gambler. who ran
against Mudd two years ago. will again be
his opponent in the congressional fight.
Rev. Mr. Miller. pastor of the Northern
Methodist Church of this place, narrowly
escaped being run over by an electric car
at the Hyattsville crossing shortly after Il
o'clock yesterday afternoon. He was cross
ing the track, on his way home from
church, when car No. 151 bound for Wash
ington, approached. Mr.. Miller did not see
the car, but two young men, Paul McFar-
land and George Hickey. who were on the
platform In front Of the drug store, saw the
danger and called to Mr.. Miller to get off
the track and to the motorman to stop the
car. The motorman rang the bell and
brought his car to a sudden stop. Mr.. Mil
Ter, as he stepped back, was struck by the
ing under the car between the fender and
the step. He was quickly extricated from
his perilous position by Mcfarland and
Hickey. and fortunately escaped injury.
Mr.. Miller was not the least frightened
when the oar struck him. but after exon
Grating the conductor and motorman from
all blame calmly walked Off as IL nothing
ha- happened.
