An accident to the engine room some time go resulted in the placing in reserve of powerful electric motor. It was not injured b: the fire and will at once be connected wit! the presses. None of these latter (as stated in ‘Tue Stan yesterday) have suffered any material injury, neither have the engine or boilers been damaged. Nearly all the heavy machirery which was in the stereotyping room has been removed to the room in the second story which was used as a stereotyping room for several years, There it is being cleaned and made ready for use, None of it has been seriously hurt. The composing room is now free of all do- bris and but for the heavy rain would be in the builder's hands, lik! Sen moving as usual in the busi- ness office.

A building regulation has the force and effect of law (sec. 18, Mackey,page 511,) and whether you can place a limitation of this kind Upon & permit once issued is quite questions- le without creating responsibility for dam- age of some kind.

Saati S satel pin toes Ranos oF Tue Wasnixetox, April 12—An old-fashioned congregational job, such as have made many previous Congresses notorious, appears to have developed in the House of Representa- tives yesterday. It was the day known in pare lismentary phraseology as “District of Colum- bia day.” On motion of Mr. Washington of Tennessee, and without even the formality of “division, another amendment was adopted allowing the road to use overhead electrig wires. The reason for the great surprise caused by this amendment is thet in 1688 Congress enacted » law providing that from and after tho date mentioned in the act no overhead wires should be erected within the limits of the city of Washington, and it was furthermore ordered that all over head wires then in existence should be re- moved. There is only one surface railroad within the city limite now operated by over- head wires, and that line has arranged to eub- stitute the storage battery system within the time specified in the act. Congress followed this law with another passod a year or two ago, Providing that on or before July 1, 1892, every surface railroad in the District of Columbia should abolish horse power, and that no road should hereafter be chartered with authority to use horses for the movement of cars, Actii in accordance with this law, the two larg street car lines in the city prepared to change their motive power, One of these lines begun in June, 1891, system from the Navy town, and from Penney along 14th strect to Mount in the euburbs, # distance of about eig) expects to ha’ Ne cable cars running on entire system on August 1 next. The total cost of the change is €3,000,000, The other of the two extensive lines made storage bat cars. Itwas unable, however, to complete its ments within the Specified in the law, and so it came to Congress eye the face of the fact that public sentiment in Washington is motets pe to the rend a — of a’ id, either for phone, telegraph or electric lighting pute poser, and in the face of the law St Oosees prohibiting the use of overhead wires fo® Street car service, the House nt ys Practically unanimous vote gave the litan street railroad the privilege of strings Es lesand overhead wires across the most thickly settled and aristocratic part of the city for about five miles enst and west and same distance north and south. The amen: ment adopted yesterday was all the more surprise because nobody expected it to be ii troduced, and nobody knows where it from or who recommended it Mr. Hem chairman of the committee on the Columbia, promptly repudiated the tion, and said it was as much « surprise to committee as to outsiders. Mr, Heard, who i troduced the original resolution ting on extension of time, was sui and knows nothing whatever ab favor of the overhead system. In fact, everye body 1s surprised, apparently, and yet the amendment was adopted without serious ope Position. Strangely enough, even the of the Metropolitan Railway Company be surprised, and they might well be, _ anor (peer ee 1@ subject of the proposed ol power states that the engineer of the reported that the storage battery demonstrated to be « complete success, an: that the company has spenta very large sum of money in erecting one of the battery plants in existence, and that it is to put it into operation if it can have a few toonths for perfecting details. ‘Those who were instrumental In having becés Hi 28 : motive road has bes overhead wires woperne pee pores howe did their work q and very ay Y but they will have little c! of success jut itself on record as opposed to Rires in the Distries ‘of Columbia, t likely that it will chi ite ef hong not likely i chai The most beautiful features, of the city of Washington are its weil and well-shaded streets aac aol semen Sepak te beter ae eer, strongly op to hav Deauty city ads Poy the danger to life and mb increased by the stringing of overhead elee trical wires.
