Such accidents are of alarmingly frequent occurrence and are reported from all parts of the country and have happened to inteiligent people, With your permission I will give your readers an opinion on the subject imparted to me several years since by a well-known gas expert, He claimed that the theory of people having blown out the gas as they formerly did the old-fashioned tal- jJow dip upon retiring at night was wrong ninety- nine times out of a hundred. Electric lights are certainly deadly enough, but gas causes far more deaths every year than can be attributed to the former. Who is there in this city who does not know that gas pipes and burners are liable at any moment to become fouled and cease to burn atall? This is caused by a de- posit of a substance in the pipes known as nhapthaline, which is formed by the condensa- tion of the vapors of naptha and other sub- stances used im the manufacture of illuminating gas. Ibave had on several occasions all the burners in my house to flicker, grow dim and finally to cease to burn entirely. Probably every bouseholder in Wasbington has expe- rienced similar troubles. After a while it will begin to flow again and the house, as a natural consequence, will be filled with escaping gas. Now, 4 person will go toa hotel, and if he is from the country be is very suspicious of hotel thieves, burglars and midnight assassins, when he retires for the night, with remarkable | sagacity he puts his watch and money in his boot and leaves bis gas burning. After a while, | under certain conditions which are liable at any moment to occur, the pipe feeding his | burner becomes clogged with napthaline and | his light is extinguished, and perhaps in the course of a few minutes the gas begins to flow again and directly into the room, as there is no blaze to consume it. At all events, after mid- night, when the lights in restaurants, hotels, private residences, &c., are turned’ off, the | Pressure is necessarily greatly increased’ and | the obstructions in the pipe will probably be | overcome and a ‘full head” turned upon the | unconscious sleeper. 1 am not an expert in illuminating gas, but I give this theory for what it is worth, and I consider it a sound one.

The Funeral of Edward Carter. The funeral of Edward Carter, the deaf mute who was fatally injured a week ago at the Boundary-street crossing of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, was attended at Kendall Green yesterday afternoon under circum- stances of pathetic interest. Young Carter entered the Kendall school as @ pupil more than twenty years ago and grad- uated in 1880. Not long after he married a former schoolmate and soon secured regular employment at the brick machine company’s works. He and his deaf mute wife established themseives in a snug home, where three chil- dren have been born, all of whom hear and speak. The young husband was strictly tem- perate and industrious and the wife did her rt to make the home a happy one. Last jonday morning as young Carter was apt bo to his work, on his accustomed route above Boundary street, which took him across the Metropolitan branch railroad, he was struck by a belated express train from the west and #0 severely injured that he died on Saturday. He was not walking on the track, but simply crosting it, and had there been a flagman there to warn him of his danger, or a gate to | keep him back, his life need not have been sac- rifieed. ithe funeral services were conducted by President Gallaudet. assisted by Prot. Gordon of the college and Mr. Denison, principal of the Kendall school, and the chapel was filled with the officers and pupiis of the school and college and the family and many friends of young Carter. President Gallaudet spoke in the highest terms of the estimable character of his former pupil. ——»—__ AMERICAN B. B. ASSOCIATION. What Was Done at Yesterday’s Session in Rochester. At the meeting of the American association of base ball clubs at Rochester yesterday it was decided not to enlarge the list, but to keep the association on an eight-club circuit, Balti- more’s application for membership was laid on the table. The meeting wasa very satisfactory one and the delegates present seemed to think that the association was in pretty near as good shape as itever was, A rule was adopted giv- ing visiting clubs 40 per cent of the gate re- ceipts, except on Decoration day and July 4, when they shall receive one-half. THE ELECTION OF OFFICERS resulted as follows: President, Z. Phelps, Louis- ville; vice president, Henry Brinker, Rochester; board of directors—Philadelphia, St. Louis, Syracuse end Toledo; committee on playing Louisville and Rochester; board of arbitration—Allen W. Thurman, Columbus; J. J. O'Neil, St. Louis, and Zach Phelps, Louisville; finance committee—Colum- bus, St. Louis and Athletic; schedule commit- tee—Louisvilie, Columbus and Athletic. It was decided to give the president power to point all umpires ‘upon recommendation by clubs. A meeting of the association to act upon the report of the schedule committee will be held in Syracuse March 10. THE OBJECTION TO READMITTING BALTIMORE, It is quite probable that Barni pplication for membership would have received consid- eration, and very likely favorable considera- tion, had it been from anybody but Barnie. The objection te readmittiug Baltimore comes from a personal antagonism to him, and the sentiment was freely expressed that Baltimore need never hope for a place in the American association ranks as long as Barnie is connected with it. It is understood that, notwithstanding the vote to adhere to the eight-club circuit, President Phelps is a firm believer in ten clubs, and that there 1s a willingness to reconsider the vote in case the league should drop Wash- ington and Indianapolis. Chris Von der Ahe of St. Louis was one of the happiest men at the meeting. “I never had any intention of leaving the association,” said the jolly German, “and I would not now accept a franchise in the Players’ ieague if it as offered me on a silver salver. The aaso- ion is bound to go and the new circuit will a big success. I do not believe these reports that Comisky will join the Chicago brotherhood club. He told me he would play in St. Louis again and I believe him.” THE WARD CASE POSTPONED. The other great expected event in base ball circles, the decision in the Ward injunction case, did not take place. The hearing was postponed by . between the counsel ‘on account of the absence of Mr. Choate of the firm of Evarts, Choate & Beaman, counsel for Mr. Day, president of the New York league club, a OT THE MAN. Why the Other Passengers Laughed When the Lawyer Left the Car. HE Was } He isa well-known lawyer and he was going home on a 9th-street car the other evening. On the seat opposite him was an elderly man | Of respectable appearance. For a moment or two they glanced at each other as though each Was waiting for the other to speak and then they shook hands quite enthusiastically, The lawyer at once commenced to apologize for the slowness with which the elderly man’s case was proceeding and brought forward an array of argument to show why the matter could not be brought to a foeus before next term. Through- out the whole of a lengthy explanation the face of the listener was all smiles, and if the lawyer had been less busy hunting up fictitious alle- gations he would have secn that something was wrong. At last the quiet elderly man gota chance to say a word. “You've evidently mistook me for a else,” said he. “I ain’t got no law suit on hand, T'm with , Who keeps the grocery store where you get yous supplies. That's where T’ve met you.” ‘The other passengers smiled, one or two of them audibly, and as the lawyer dropped off the car (three squares beyond his home) there was howling chorus of cachinnation, —— Transfers of Real Estate.

At a meeting of the Northeast Washington Citizens’ association held at the Peabody school building last evening, Josiah Millard presid- ing. the report of the special committee to con- fer with an attorney as to the enforcement of law against the railroads was made by Messrs, Cur- riden and 8. C. Clarke. The first-named said they had conferred with Mr. James Coleman and arranged as to retainer and compensation. Mr. Clarke said he had purposely avoided com- mitting the association but had.a pleasant in- terview with Mr. Coleman in which they went over the points to be raised in » contest, the unlawful spged of trains, the connecting “Y,” occupation of streets, fencing in of D and ist streets and Delaware avenue in three places, the occu} of I street below &eo, tlle ag question, Mr. larke said as 05 the right of way of the road until 1910, but brome ee question as to the occupancy of si ir. W. H. Barton stated that an officer of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad company said 1¢ would be a difficult matter to change the grade to conform to the streets, and they would be willing to compromise. They had bought ground in the northeast and in order to utilize their ground they would conform as near as possible to the statute. ie |, he said, would be greatly embarrassed if forced to abol- ivh side tracks and switches. They would, Mr. Barton said, however, demand that the rights of citizens be respected. The company must be made to comply with the law. DISCUSSING THE CHANCES. Mr. Girourd said the committee should have ascertained more than they had reported. They should have found what the prospects were. Mr. Curriden remarked that Mr. Coleman had said that they had a good fighting chance. Mr. Hawkins Taylor suggested that they first count the cost. The railroad company would not scare a bit, and a suit would last lo: than he and many would live. What did the rest of the city care for railroads in the north- east and softheast and southwest when their erty was improved. Railroad lawyers, he suid, silenced the Commissioners, and the truth is the northwest is the governing power. So long es they set quiet the present state of things would continue, Mr. Curriden said that the committee ex- pected theaid of the Pennsylyania railroad in fighting the Baltimore and Ohio. Mr. Taylor asserted that they were together and would continue to work together. THE COMMISSIONERS, Mr. Dodge asked how they were going into court without the suit being brought in the name of the Commissioners. He would not ask for an attorney until it was determined whether boa at go into court, Mr. S. H. Walker cited the 6th street railroad injunction case and said that the citizens ag- grieved had the right to bring suit. Mr. Taylor suggested that they select an at- torney and then get his opinion on the pre- liminary question. Mr. Curriden said that the first question was whether a suit should be begun. they went to the Commissioners he was sure that they would lend their names if necessary. ‘The report was adopted. Mr. Girourd offered a resolution, which was adopted, directing the treasurer to place $200 in the hands of the committee as a retainer of Mr. Coleman, A committee to carry out the project was ap- [arias follows: Messrs. 8. C. Clarke, W. C. odge, W. H, Barton, Josiah Millard and 8. W. Curridey, SUGAR MEN, They Present Their Case to the Ways and Means Committee. After Tae Stan's report of the hearing before the ways and means committee closed yesterday John Dymond, president of the Sugar Planters’ association of Louisiana, presented a memorial of that association giving statistics of sugar production in Louisiana, Texas and Florida, as well as beet sugar in California and sorghum in Kansas. He claimed that the sugar product of Louisiana was large enough to regulate the market price of sugar, and in that respect more than counterbalances the amount paid in taxes by the people. Prof. W. C. Stubbs of the Louisiana experi- mental station said that from his observation for the past four years no industry in the United States had “made more progress than the Louisiana sugar industry. ere was nothing to prevent an indefinite expansion of the sugar industry in Louisiana but the want of capital, and ane prevented the employment of sufficient capital but the need of confidence in the permanence of the industry. He asserted that Louisiana, under proper condition and cultivation, could produce all the sugar and cotton consumed in the United States. He put the number of sugar planters at 1,100 and the number of employes directly interested in the sugar industry at between four and five hun- dred thousand, Ex-Governor H. C. Warmouth corroborated the statements of the previous witnesses. He was opposed to any reduction of the tariff on sugar. Louisiana planters, he said, supply the New Orleans retinerics about two months in the year and the remainder of the year the refineries are supplied with free raw sugar trom Hawaii. Representative Peters of Kansas wanted pro- tection to raw silk by such legislation as would stimulate the industry, which was increasing beyond the expectation of its promoters. On the question of sorghum growing in Kansas he argued that if Congress would let the sugar tariff alone the sorghum industry would take care of itself. He estimated that the 1,200.000 jes of sorghum sugar produced in Kansas st Year was ata cost of from 4 to 6 cents per pound. He wanted the same protection to the sorghum industry that was given to the steel manufucturer in Pennsylvania, Mr. Oxnard of Grand Island, Neb., said the manufacture of beet sugar could be made to pay if the tariff on sugar was maintained. He opposed a bounty for the reason that there was no xuarantee of permanency. He showed the possibilities of the beet sugar industry, a claimed that if properly defeloped it would in a few years reduce the price to consumers and save more than a hundred millions of dollars nually now sent abroad for sugar. It would, he said, require $500,000,000 for plants to carry on this industry. Prof, Wiley of the Agricultural department said the sugar industry is like that of a plant, being very slow and uncertain at first, but if properly protected it grew rapidly. ’ ‘There was, he said, no possibility of failure in this busines, | F soe. - MORMON MONEY. The Curious Currency Used by the Latter-Day Saints. From the St. Louis Globe-Deinocrat, If you go into the principal office of the tith- ing house you will see a tall young man band- ling what looks like money. He is behind a couuter, and the counter is pfotected by a high railing. The man glances through the wiadow, then looks down at the bills, and then govs on thumbing them like a bank teller. He goes to and from a big safe, carrying bundles done up just as bills are, with little bands of brown paper pinned about them. Sometimes the young man doesn't stop to count, but he takes the amount on the brown slip as correct and passes out the money. It is the tithing scrip. It is used to facilitate the handling of the grain and hay and live stock and produce which come in.

During the month ending December $1 the receipts afthe Havana custom house show a decrease of $308,335, as compared with those of Decomber, 1888. Just in time to point out the main cause of the failing off of the revenue comes the discovery that the chief employe in the department for the payment of the old debt of the government is defuulter to the extent of from $250,000 to $400,000 and has absconded. A diepatch from Havana says: This defalca- tion is the topic of excited discussion, The press, usually inclined to suppress such scandals, has taken it up and denounced it with bitter indignation. One journal goes so far as to say there would be no thieves in the public service if the ministers and their entourage at Madrid were honest and did not send to Havana to hold important offices men of disreputable charactor, who come to steal as much us they can and divide the plunder with their employ- ers. The fraud and corruption, long de- nounced, but now laid open to all, increases the disaffection to the motherland and the desire for a change. whether it be independence or annexation. Since these disclosures the liberal party has increased by thousands, A Blow at the Sugar; Trust. A decision in the case of the people of the state of California against the American sugar refinery company was rendered in San Fran- cisco yesterday by Judge Wallace in the superior court, The suit was brought to deter- mine whether it was lawfnl for the company to join the sugar trust. Judge Wallace decided that it was an unlawful combination and that in con- eeanece the American sugar refinery compan; had forfeited its corporate charter.
