Accounting Officers Not Authorized to Audit Such Hills Unless an Express Agreement to I’y Made by a Proper Officer Can be Proven—The Claim of R Church firings Out the Decision. Washington, Aug. 30.—Tho Second Comptroller, in a lengthy opinion, has just decided a questton of some import ance relating to claims for the use and occupation of real property in border States during the period of the late war. Ho has held that accounting officers have no jurisdiction to audit and allow such claims, unless it is shown that there was an express agreement on the part of some duly authorized officer or agent of the government to pay tor the use of property upon the faith ot which posses sion was surrendered by the owner. CONTRACTS CANNOT BE IMPLIED. It is also held tbat iu the absence of an express agreement a contract cannot be implied where the military authorities, on account of the necessities ot the ser vice, are compelled to take possession of and use real property in a territory which is the theatre of war, and where occupa tion is essential to its successful urosecu tion. Property is not taken in suco cases by the exercise Of the right of eminent domain, but through tbe lawiul exertion of war power, which inheres in every civ ilized government, and which rests upon the light of selt-preservation. EFFECT OF THE DECISION. The decision will exolude from the con sideration of accounting officers a very large class of claims now pending, esti mated to involve $500,000, besides a large number of cases in which claims have not been filed. Ttjere are some prior de cisions to the contrary, which are over ruled. The Comptroller holds that in this class of cases Congress alone can pro vide remedy, and that the course of Con gressional legislation upon the subjeot since the close of the war plainly indi cates an intention on the part of that body not to delegate power to pass upon this class of claims to any other brunch of the government. THE CASE UNDER CONSIDERATION. The particular case under considera tion was tbat of the Christian church at Paducah, Ky., for the use ot their church building as a hospital for the care of sick and wounded soldiers during a period of nine months, immediately afterthe battles of Fort Henry and Fort Donelson in February, 1802. For the special reasons applicable to this ease alone ihe repoit of the auditor, recommending an allowance ol stioo, was confirmed, in order that it may be reported to Congress at Its next session for action, but the general rule governing claims tor rent in the States ot Missouri, Kentucky, Virginia, West Vir ginia and Maryland during the war period is declared to be as above stated. No Solution at Brockton. Brockton, Mass., Aug. 30.—The labor problem here is apparently no nearer a solution that it was two weeks ago.

At 3 o'clock a session of the manufacturers was held at the Commer cial Club’s headquarters. Thirty-four of them only were present. The proposition was read and discussed in all its hearings, but it did not meet with approval, and action was accordingly indelinitely post poned. The manufacturers have, how ever, decided to keep their factories open, and those desirous of working will be granted tbat privilege. Puddlers Go Out. Lebanon, Pa., Aug. 30.—The puddlers employed at East.

Washington, Aug. 80.—Now that Cutting has been released there is no par ticular necessity for Minister Jackson to remain In Mexico, and he is expected, it is understood, to return home next month. The President is expected to appoint his successor when be returns, about the middle ol September. A report current to-night is to tbe effect that Minister Jackson will be succeeded in the Mexican mission by his old law partner Gen. A. R. Lawton, of Savannah. Since Geu. Lawton declined the Russian mission on account of his politioal disabilities, the lat ter have been removed by Congress, and bo is now entirely eligible lor appointmeut to the public service. Gen. Lawton was here last week and talked with Secretary Bayard, returning home subsequently. It is stated that at this Interview the Mexi can mission was offered to and accepted by Gen. Lawton. Secretary Bayard went out of town this afternoon or night, and so the report cannot be verified. MR. SEDGWICK’S MISSION. Secretary Bayard said to-day that he had not made, and would not make, any inquiry as to tbe truth of the published story about A. G. Sedgwick. He said he considered it a silly, anonymous scandal unworthy Ills notice. The publication at this time is peculiarly unfortunate, be cause Mrs. Sedgwick is in very delicate health. Mr. Sedgwick was loth to goto Mexico on this account, and only went upon tbe theory that he could transact his business and get baok within a snort time. NATURE OF THE RETORTS, City of Mexico, Aug. 30.— Reports have been talegraphed from here that Speolal Envoy Sedgwick has dlsgraoed himself by drinking and carousing with some Mexican club men and had made such au exhibition of himself that he had become notorious and had been out by Minister Jackson and the better class of Mexican society. Tbe facts are that on Friday evening Mr. Sedgwick attended a ball given by an aristocratic club, where he was made the object of special atten tion. Wine was drunk m the supper rooms and Mr. Sedgwick amongst others was toasted and replied, but nothing occurred to warrant reports derogatory to him as a gentleman or an official representative of his government. The members of theolubstrenuously deny that any discourtesy was intended or practiced toward Mr. Sedgwick, who made an excellent Impression It Is pro posed by leading representatives of the highest sooiety of Mexico to give him a series ol dinners and receptions in order to make It evident that he has the esteem of the Mexicans. Since the rumors be came current a large number of entirely ridiculous reports have been in circulation, but no per son or reputation or standing in the community conversant wtlb the matter supports them. Lastevening Mr.Sedgwick wus a guest at a private bouse at a dinner at which were present Minister Marlscal, of tbs Department of Foreign Relations, and Minister Romero Rubio, of the Inte rior Department. Mr. Sedwick is con ferring with Minister Jackson and inves tigating the laws of Mexico bearing on the Cutting case. He Is having transla tions of tbe laws made and when through here, he will go to Chihuahua and then to Paso del Norte. ARRESTS IN MEXICO.

Scranton, Ta., Aug. 30 A terrible explosion occurred iu the Fairlown col liery this morning which resulted in the death of five men. Two others were se riouely Injured. John U. Hosle and J, Gallagher were standing at the head of the slope at tbe time of the accident and lelt the force of tho explosion as the rush of air came out of the mouth of the mine. They at once started to go in and ascer tain tbeextent of the damage, inspec tor Blowett bappoued to come along about this time and he and Gallagher with a party entered the mines, going down to the third or lower Vein and then followed the air course, stopping to repair dam ayes to the brettice, etc., as they went along. Their progress was necessarily slow nnd the course they followed took them to the right hand side of tbe mines. They came at last to a point where they louud repairs necessary and returned to the foot of tbo mines tor more material, when they learned that groans bad been heard In tbe east gangway. They worked over that way and found a party who had gone in the mines before the accident near or about the entrance of one ol tbe chambers, a short distance from the foot of au inside plane, about 160 feet from where tne heading branches off. Three ot them were alive and three were dead. the killed. Tne Killed were: Hugh Conners, of Bellevue, aged 46 years. He leaves a wife and five small children. Edward GaughaD, of Cupouse avenue, aged 45 years. He leaves a wile aud eight small children. Michael Prllee, aged 45 years. He was married, but. leaves no children.

Tho body of Edward Pierce, the fire boss, was found about 130 feet from the [others. THE story of a survivor. Patrick Conner says that he and the others waited for some tirao at the mouth of the mine for the fire boss. At last he Came from another vein. He said be had not been In the lowor vein yet. but told them to coma on and ho would see if everything was all right. They went to the fo<R of tho new road when Pierce went ahead. He carried a safety lamp and they bad naked lamps. They stood waiting for him when suddenly there was a (las!), aud nn explosion followed quickly. Conner (ell flat on his face. Ho felt that he was in too exposed a position, and leaped to the side of tbe pillar. To this action he probably owes his life. When the explosion was over he called out to the men in total darknesn. Kerrigan, Matin and Prvloe answered him, but no word came from Gaugan or Conners. COMING OF THE RESCUING TARTY. Kerrigan wanted him to try go with him to tho foot, and he rose to do so, but he felt so sick that he could not go and bad to lie down again. They waited there In tbe blackness of night, sick, wounded and helpless, with their dead comrades lying near them. At last they heard voices, and Conner called. Presently the voices came nearer them. Then they saw liebts approaching, and soon the rescuing party were with them. The position in which the bodies were found bears out his statement. He could not tell whether I'ierce Ignited tbe gas or whether It was ignited by their lights. Tbe explosion came like a flash, too quick tor any one to teli anything about ft. Tboy bad no reason to expect to find any gas there. How the fire originated is a mystery. Crookedness in Hrooklyn. Nkw York.
