Special Dispatch to Txz EvEstno Stan. Cotvmsvs, Ouro, Jan, 2—The hotels are filled with politicians this morning, and in the absence of Mr. Brice, who has been detained home by la grippe but will probably arrive today, John H. Thomas and his friends are claiming everything with exulting confidence, The Brice men are inclined to give their oppo- nents ail the satisfaction they may gather from these claims, taking no pains whatever to deny them in any particular. A rumor was current this morning to the effect that the opposition to Brice have a letter in their possession most ! damaging to him that will be sprung at an | Opportune time, Whether there is any truth in the rumor cannot at this time be learned. Mr. J. B. Townsend, who in the absence of Mr. Brice is in charge, says that he has no news to give out; that the friends of Mr. Brice are are fully satisfied with the situation and have no disposition whatever to question the claims of Mr. Thomas orany other candidate. He says, however, the result of the caucus will give the opposition such information that they will then concede their mistake, It is expected that Hon. L. T. Neal and other anti-Brice men of large caliber will be here tonight and then the fun will commence. Mr, Allen W. Thurman has been very quiet of late in his opposition to the Lima statesman, It is intimated that the failure of the move- ment to secure the holding of indignation meetings at all the large cities. has had a de- pressing effect and those engaged in it have given up in disgust. Public Caan is _most marked in favor of Brice, and it is predicted that he will be nominated easily on or third ballot, SS er NATURAL GAS EXPLOSION. Ignited froma Lantern—Bullding Blown Up—One Man Killed. Prrrssura, Pa., Jan. 2.—By an explosion of natural gas at Economy, Pa., this morning, George Kirschbaum, aged 40, was almost in- atantly killed and John Becker seriously in- jured. There was a shortage of gas in the little village yesterday and shortly after 6 this morning Kirschbaum and Becker, both members of the Eoonomite society, started out to ascertain the cause of the small supply. They carried a lantern, and no sooner had en- tered the gas regular building than there was a terrific explosion, The building was totally wrecked and Mr. a badly burned that he died in a few minutes. Becker also sustained serious burns but will recover, The flames ignited a tank of oil near by which was destroyed, The loss will reach several thousand dollars, —— THE DEADLY WIRE, People Knocked Insensible—Horse and Dog Killed. e second Sr. Lovrs, Jan, 2.—They heavy rain storm of yesterday and last night sadly demoralized all kinds of electric wires in this city, and it wai not until after midnight last might that they were brought into proper working order, The telephone was especially exasperating, it being almost impossible to get communication over it, and several accidents were occasioned by electric light wires. About 8 o'clock in the evening an electric hght wire fell to the ground at the corner of [th and Morgan streets, A few moments later Mr. and Mrs, Smith and their little dog passed the corner, ‘Ihe dog touched the wire and was a corpse in a jiffy. Mrs. Smith ran to the dog, dd, not seeing the wire, stepped on it and was thrown some distance and fell unconscious, Her husband sprang to pick her up and re- ceived a severe shock, but was not rendered in- sensible. Mrs, Smith was restored to con- sciousness by a physician, but had @ narrow escape from death. A crowd collected, and George Reeves, com- ing in contact with the wire, was knocked in- sensible. A firenan named ‘Hogan rushed to the rescue and was very severely shocked, Reeves was so badly hurt that he was sent to the City hospital, “A horse was killed by atep- ping ona fallen wire on the corner of Vande- venter and Finley avenues, and several others minor accidents occurred in different parts of the city. ——— DEATH OF GEORGE H. BOKER. The Poet Diplomat Passes Away at His Home in Philadelphia. Patrapetraia, Jan. 2.—Hon. George H. Boker, formerly minister to Turkey and Russia, died at his home in this city this morning. Mr. Boker was one of the found- ers of the Union League club in this city. He was also known as one of the most successful poetic playwrights of the century. He wrote “Francesca de Kimini,” which was played with great success by Lawrence Barrett, and several other strong plays. — Mr. Parnell Receives Notice.

But the Grip Is Knocking Out Officials All the Same. At the health office it was stated today that nothing was yet known of the grip officially. One of the employes remarked, however, that he knew of at least one case, and that was in his own family, but it was slight. Others, how- ever, thought that case might be merely an ordinary cold, THE GRIP AT THE DISTRICT BUILDING. The District building has been turned into a regular hospital and clerks wander around the building with blurred eyes and heavy colds, Every oue seems tohave the grip and the ranks of clerks are in a depleted condition.

The New International Standards of| Major Raymond Makes a Report om the Weight and Length AN INTERESTING OCCASION AT THE WHITE HOUSE ‘TODAT—OPENING OF THE PROTOTYPES ALLOTTED ‘TO THE UNITED STATES BY THE INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION OF WEIGHTS AKD MEASURES. In the eabinet at the White House this after- noon President Harrison officially received and opened the national prototypes thst were al- loted to the United States at the international convention of weights and measures held in Paris, These are a meter and a kilogrem, and will now be regarded as the national standards of weight and length. The formal opening of the boxes was attended with quite a little cere- mony in the presence of s large number of invited guests prominent in scientific and Official circles, These new standards will be of great value, as they are the exact counterparts of the official or international prototypes which are preserved with the utmost care in Paris, There they are preserved in an underground cave where they are not subject to any c! ea of tem; ture, The two standards opened to- toa Cas pe set which been meer ican ui . care in Paris eer ibeesy ip am various governments who adopte the fondorde at the last general convention, HISTORY OF THE MOVEMENT, ‘The history of theadoptionof an international standard isa brief one. In 1869 the French government invited other nations to send dele- gates to Paris for the p of forming a commission for the construction of a new meter asen international standard of length. The invitation was generally accepted and our repre- sentatives were Profs, Henry and Hilyard. In 1875 the international bureau of weights end measures was established and placed under the control of delegates from the various countries interested. A number of eminent European physicists and chemists bave been engaged for the last fifteen Years in endeavoring to make aset of standards which should come up to all the requirements imposed by the bureau. The difficulties met with have all been surmounted and a set of standards have been made as nearly perfect as can be imagined, HOW THE STANDARDS ARE MADE. They are made of an alloy of nine parts of Platinum to one of iridium, They are com- pletely rust proof and, as they will be kept ina fire-proof receptacle, apart from all changes of temperature, any variations they may suffer from the true standards will be so small as to be inconceivable, The meter stick and the kilo- = were securely packed and sealed before eering the bureau in Parisand have not been opened until the President today broke the seals and opened the boxes, He then signed a statement that he had found the seals intact and had no reason to believe that the standards Were any but those sent out by the bureau in Paris, Secretaries Blaine and Windom also signed the document, which will be preserved with the standards, They will be kept in the building of the coast and geodetic survey on Capitol Hill until some permanent place can be provided for them, AMONG THOSE WHO WERE PRESENT at the ceremonies were Secretary Blaine, Sec- retary Windom, Prof. Longly, Prof. Newcomb, General Casey, Mr. E.O, Leech, director of the mint, 8.

Mrs. McKee and her guest, Mrs. Findlay of Baltimore, were interested witnesses of the scene, THE FREEDMAN’S HOSPITAL, Secretary Noble Says He Has Referred Complaints to the Bourd of Visitors, “Certain complaints, I cannot call them charges, against Dr. Purvis and the manage- ment of the Freedman's hospital were referred by me to the board of visitors." The speaker was Secretary Noble and he was talking toa Stax reporter today about the reported inves- tigation of the Freedman’s hospital. The Sec- retary added that he did not consider the com- plaints made of sufficient importance to be specially investigated, He had, however, re- ferred them to the board of visitors as pointers, so that when they visited the hospital they might keep themin mind. “There are boards Of visitors,” remarked the Secretary, ‘appointed to visit all the institutions under this depart- ment.” It is stated at the department that for several years past there have been no appointments on the board of visitors to the Freedman's hos- pital. The consequence is that owing to deaths and the removal of the members the board has not done active duty at the request of Dr. Purvis, it is stated, Secre' Nobie appointed @ board of visitors of which Commissioner Douglass is chairman. This board was ap- pointed November 25, but has not as yet held a meeting. Acouple of weeks ago certain com- laints made inst Dr. Purvis were referred the board through its chairman, Commis- sioner Dougiass. The original papers were sent to the board aud are now in its custody. It is said at the department that these com- plaints were in many instances of ancient origin and have beenin the past received at the beginning of each administration, The board of visitors consists of John W. Douglass, Brainard H. Warner, Geo. W. Evans, Rev. Francis Grimke and Rev. Geo, W. Moore. ‘The members are appointed without compen- sation and are expected to visit the institution at least once a quarter or oftener, as they may decide, DR, PURVIS SAYS IT 18 THE SAME OLD Front. Nofpne could very weil know less of the charges on file in the Interior department against Dr, ©. B. Purvis, the director of Freed- man’s hospital, than the doctor does. That is whathe told # Sram reporter this morning with every appearance of candor, “All I know about these charges,” said the doctor, “baw been published in ‘the local papers, I think I do know, though, the source from whence they emanated, ‘The same apol- ogy fora man hounded my predecessor, Dr. Palmer, and if there ever was a thoroughly up- right humane man it was Dr. Palmer. I presume the sume crowd is at it again. Every four years the fight is renewed and there is no more cause for it now than there usedto be, and I never ve anybody eunse to #o attack me. When Mr. | pits was Secretary of the Interior it was al- loged that I had been an active republican partisan in the Garfield campaign; that was un- true. because my professionul engngements had revented me from going on the stump. Now this little apology has it, I under- stand that I contributed to both republicanand democratic campaign funds so that I might preserve my balance anyhow. There uever was a greater lie, These people have gotten hold of a discharged employe and are trying to formulate charges out of his alleged grievances, ‘There is not # scintilla of truth in his state- ments, and they have not cased me to lose a moment's slcep.

As the direct supervision of the streets of the city come under the engineer de- partment the matter was referred to Major Raymond for his views, which he embodied in the following memorandum submitted to the Commissioners this morning for their action: “The main object of this bill is to secure the establishment of an appropriate system of high- ways through the numerous subdivisions suburban to Washington, and through the in- tervening tracts, These subdivisions are now in general traversed by highways which pre- sent a bewildering diversity of width and dj- rection, entirely unsuitable to urban needs. While the necessity for the rectification Saag ue by bill is more imminent as to the environs on the northerly side of Washington, no other section of the Diatrict can be wisely omitted from a measure of this character, no matter how remote bee oye when a Le Fogo: lered necessary by the city’s progress. pee the provisions of "this bill ohtend to all sub- urban subdivisions in the District. Although this bill also contemplates the ex- tension of the permanent high’ system over the entire District (see Sec 9) the expenditure of money under it is substantially restricted to the rectification of the existing subdivi- sions, for the reason that there will be little or no necessity to pay for land for highways in the portion of the District yet uusubdivided, as owners of such land will generally be willing to give the necessary land for highways when the city’s expansion makes it ares probable to them that it will be more profitable to subdivide their tracts into build- ing lots with acceptable streets than to let them remain ina state of nature. They will com- | eraeteg themselves for the land they give for ighways by adding to the price of the land they sell sufficient to pay them for the land they so donate to public use, In the matter of Sanne subdivisions the j sel Haag generally owned by persons who ought the land after subdivision and have in- creased it in value by improving it and the contiguous highways, In many instance: the proper rectification of subdivisions will take the entire holding ot an individual or divide it in such a manuer as to render the portion un- taken of comparatively little value. Hence own- ers of lots in existing subdivisions have babe’ that do not inure to owners of unsubdivide tracts, In cases where the property in subdi- visions, which it may be found udvisabie to change, is still wholly or mainly in hands of those who made the subdivisions, the property owners can secure an equitable readjustment of their plats to the new system under the first clause of section 5. Again the necessity for further legislation as to the establishment of highways in tho un- subdivided tracts has been obviated by the act of Congress entitled “An act to regulate the subdivisions of land within the District of Columbia,” approved August 27, 1888, to com- el the future highway system of those locali- ies to conform to the general plan of the city of Washington, which gives the Commissioners ample power to prevent irregular and un- authorized subdivisions in the futuro, THE ESTABLISHMENT OF STREETS. It will be noticed that this bill (section 1) also includes within its scope the establishment of streets through intervening unsubdivided tracts of land, The object in including those tracts is to provide for the opening of high- ways through such tracts so far as the Com- missioners shall deem it advisable, to afford means for direct access between the several subdivisions they separate, and which other- wise might be lett with very circuitous and in- convenient avenues for intercommunication and access to the city, ‘The clause in section 1 limiting the minimum width of the streets to 90 feet and maximum to 160 feet needs no further explanation than that the latter is the maximum width of the city highways, and experience establishes the for- mer asthe minimum, consistent with due re- gard for the conditions which should govern any extension of the streets of the national ba pe the exception to this rule contained in the last clause of section 1 is made because there are subdivisions, particularly in the vicinity of Rock ercek, which for topographical reasons it would be unprofitable so far #8 any public in- terest is concerned to disturb. Some of the streets of those subdivisions are narrower than the width prescribed in section 1. Many of these will doubtless be widened in any plan adopted under this act, but some will serve a better purpose as they are now. The minimum and maximum legal widths under the present law governing county roads are fifty and oue hundred feet respectively, ‘he purpose of sections 2 and 3 is obvious, Section 4, in apportioning the expenses or dameges awarded under this bill, excepts from the portion chargeable to private abutting property the pro ruta amount charged for cou- demned improvements. It would be almost impossible to justly apportion a charge for these improvement damages among conuguous subdivisions. THE PROCEEDS OF SALES. Under section 5 the proceeds of the sale of these condemned improvements are given to the United States and the District of Columbii in equal parts, aud this,with the interest of the private property owners in ‘the existing streets not abaudoned, which is givento the United States, will be fully equivalent to the amount the United States and District contribute to the payment of improvement damages, Be- sides it should be Borne in mind that the surburban property will also largely contribute in the wey of general taxes to the general fund of the District,from which the amount charge- able to the District for damages must be paid, leaving out of consideration the amount here- tofore paid in general taxes by the county roperty in excess of the amount appropriated or improvements of roads and for ocher sur- burban purposes, Section 5 provides for the disposal of those portions of the land of the existing highways not includedin the new system, and for the condemnation and sale of improvements in the line of the proposed new highways and the ap- plication of the proceeds of such sales, In some cases 1t may be advantageous to the owner of the property abutting an abandoned highway to obtain a portion of such abundoned land contiguous to his lot in order to get agood front on sofne new highway, and it may not be inimical to the public interest to allow him that privilege. This 1s also provided for in section 5, ABANDONED HIGHWAYS, The proceeds of the sales of abandoned high- way land it proposes to apply to the credit of theabutting private property for the reason that those highways were practicaily, althoagh indirectly, paid for, as heretofore set forth, by the persons who purchased the abutting lots, Where the lots have not passed out of the hands of those who made the subdivisions the rever- siohary right isin them. Hence present abutt- ing owners, whether those who made the sub- divisions or those who bonght from them, are entitled to a credit to that extent, But as it would be impracticable to divide the abén- doned land out in parcels, putting the money in the ay to the credit of the District and then having the District issue to the owners of auch abutting property certificates of in- debteduess receivable for assseasments for damages seems most feasible and involves no embarrassment in its application, Neither the United States nor tho District are entitled to the proceeds of the sales of such abandoned highways, because in most instan- ces acither has expended anything for the lay- ing out, construction or maintenance of those ways. In the few cases where the municipality has U be ren- on those amount has been comparatively insignificant, while the abutting private property has not only borne the cost of the urea of the streets, but has in many cases been to enormous expense in grad- ing and otherwise improving them. It may be well to add that the proposed deposit to the credit of the District of the ds of the sales of abandoned highway land | $04 will net nothing to the District, for the reason that the certificates of indebtedness to be issued | to owners of abutting property in lieu of such proceeds, being receivable for damage Douglass und Raymond are aiso suffering from the poe and were not at the District build- ing today.
