Dr. Yoder, who saw him this morning, said to s Sram reporter that he was certainly dying; that he might away this afternoon or he might hold out for a day or more yet, but that the life in him now was merely mechani- cal. He is delirious most of the time. The critical turh of the case is caused. it is thought, Dy inflammation at the base of the brain, near the location of the ball.

How a person could ever mistake one for the other is & mystery, but that was the case a few evenings ago, # is said. Judge Kincaid was with his counsel and when thev separated, the liceman who was detailed to “shadow” the judge followed Mr. Smith all the way to his ome. which is on T street, Itisnot known Gears. bast house of Mr. Smith was watched or At any rate the mistake of the officer would have given Judge Kineaid plenty of time to esca had he so desired, but as tofore stated, he is waiting in the city to see what the result of the shooting will be, and should it prove fatal he wil! save the officers the trouble of reartesting him. —s—__ THE SITE SELECTED.

SPINOLA'S AMENDRENT. Mr. Spinola offered an amendment to the bill relating to the taxes to be paid by the road. He said the electric and cable roads could be run for one-third the cost of horse railroads, and he wanted an additional tax of 5 per cent to be put on this extension. Four per cent of the earnings were already provided for and the addition would make the road 9 per cent. Mr. Heard opposed the amendment. He said if any road was making too much money, why, instead of making them pay more money into the treasury, simply compel them to re- duce the rate of fare. Mr. Spinola said this had been tried in New York and had utterly failed. The amendment Was lost—ayes, 34; noes, 48, ‘THE BILL PassED. The bill was then passed without further discussion. THE GEORGETOWN AND TENLEYTOWN RAILROAD. The last bill on the calendar was then taken up. This was the bill amending the charter of the Georgetown and Tenleytown railroad. The bill amends the charter of the road by substi- tuting after the words “and along: High street.in Georgetown, to the Tenleytown road” the words “and thence along and in said road, but outside the paved or improved limits thereof” for the words ‘but wholly outside of the limits of said road and along the side of said road.” The bill is the same as the Senate bill @n the same sub- ject, only containing an amendment causing the road to put its tracks outside the paved or improved limits of the road. - THE COMMITTEE'S REPORT on the subject says: “The object of this bill is tocarry out the original purpose of the in- corporation of this company, which was incor- rated on August 10, 1683. and is n (fetes the road can be completed. The said. road has been begun and about one and a half miles thereof is finished and contracts are out for carsand other necessary equipment. Nearly 100,000 has been expended and the contracts oe hand will call for an outlay in excess of is.” DEBATE ON THE BILL. ‘Mr. O'Neil (Mass.) wanted to know if there was any provision in the bill compelling the road to place fenders on their cars. Mr. Atkinson said the matter of details was left to the Commissioners and that, besides, in the country through which this road passed animals were not allowed to run freely, Mr. O'Neil said that there was no present law which kept two-legged animals from roam- ing at large and that fenders on such roads often saved lives. There then followed a discufsion between Mr. Atkinson and Mr. Cannon as to whether this company had not already secured the land | $7 on the side of the Tenleytown road as required in the original bill and now by getting into the proper would make this more valus- re ble. TRE BILL PASSED. Mr. Cameron said he had heard such a state- ment of the case, but Mr. Atkinson said it was not so, and the bill was then passed without farther discussion, THANES TO THE HOUSE.
