Before They Are Approved. ‘The new regulations governing the sale of liquor under the provisions of the act of March 3, 1893, which were printed exclusively in yes- terday’s Stam, have been laid before the Com- missioners, with several slight alterations, | not important enough, however, to affect | them, as heretofore printed in Tue Stan. It is expected that the Commissioners will send the regulations to the assessor for his opinion, and then submit them to the major of police and the judges of the Police Court before finally adopting them. ——. ‘Trouble at a) Party. Peter Alvey gave a party at his house on L street, m South Washington, and among his | numerous friends were some who were pugi-| listically inclined. Liquid refreshments had been indulged in by some of the. guests, and there was a little disorder in one of the rooms, | which Mr. Alvey attempted to end, and when | Be appeared it uly had the ‘effect ‘of pouring | oil on a fire. | He was roughly handled, and in tarn it is | charged that he cut Horace Bailey in the neck. ‘The parties appeared in the Police Court this morning and Alvey was held in $300 security | for the action of the grand jury. ——— Prayers for Schneider.

Permission Asked to Lay Them on Several | Some Modern Facilities Adopted by the |The Opening of Traffic on the Canal and Streets and Avenues.

EVISE. Power of the Commixsioners Over the Est!- mates of the Superintendent of Charities. Some time ago the superintendent of chari- ties, in a letter to the Commissioners, called at- tention to their rulings under the act creating the office of superintendent of charities that | they had not the right to modify the annual estimates made by that official. The «uperin- tendent of charities called attention to the fact | that contingencies might arise in which this | would be a question of considerable import- | ance, and suggested that the opinion of the assistant attorn for the District be called for upon the question. Assistant Attorney S. T. ‘Thomas sent his opinion in the matter to the Commissioners this morning. He holds that the iaw creating the office of superintendent of charities confers upon the Commissioners the right to revise that official's annual estimates, A TENN CEPTION, Representative MeMillin Entertains a Large Number of People From His State.

A special to the New York Times from Hart- ford, Conn., says: The problem of under ground wires for electrical railways bas been solved in this city, and a section of street rail- road here isnow in running condition by the new system. The underground equipment has been down ail winter, with the horse cars run- prove | ning over it constantly, and in no case has the t St | slightest danger been experienced by contact with it, The wires are midway between the tracks. The severest winter that has been ex- perienced here in years has not affected the ap- paratus and the circuit has not been inter- rupted. The placing of the wires under ground will not cost much more than installing the trolley lines. The inventor of the system, James F. Munsie, was the first superintendent of the Canadian Pacific telegraph lines; before that he was superintendent of the Dominion lines, and made the land connections with the Atlantic cable at Cape Canso. He prepared the esti- mates for the Gould American Union lines. In all of these positions he showed ability of a high order. For years he bas been working on the problem of producing « system of under- ground wires which may be relied upon in every emergency of storm and change of tem- perature, and at the same time be perfectly safe for the traveling public.

At the request of the officers of the Alabama ional Bank of Mobile, Bank Examiner B. J. Campbell visited the bank and has directed the institution to close its doors, This step was | not unexpected in financial circles, and camo | nearly being taken in December last, when the knowledge of the condition of the bank caused the depoits to fall off very rapidly, and what e left can be paid inside of sixty days, the bank having now about 35 per cent on hand of the amount necessary to liquidate all claims. ‘The remainder and more is amply secured. There will be no losses on the part of the depositors. F. B. Clergue, president. is said to be the cause of all the trouble. He, it is alleged, bas used between $50,000 and £60,000 of the bank's money, and efforts made during the past sixty days to obtain a settlement have failed. The management of the bank decided that the best way to place the insti:ution on its feet would be to cail on the controller of the currency for an examination. The bank examiner states that several days will be required to determine the true condi- tion of the institution. ——s Died From an Inauguration Cold, Malcolm B.
