The cen- sus office had been in a state of excited, €xpectant and emotional commotion for some time. The wings of Eros had been at whirring and Cupid had been shooting holes | through everything in sight. The contract- ing parties met first in the census, and,suc- cumbing to the peculiar atmosphere and the traditions of the place, fell in love. The courtship had been in progress for a long time, and the happy affair was not unex- pected by the clerks. The census folks made up a handsome bridal gift of useful silverware. They are on their honeymoon vacation today. —_— An Assis: t. Rudolph H. E. Teadcaae confectionery, toys, &c., of 519 llth street southeast, has made an assignment for the benefit of ereditors to B. .

He said that the matter is still under con- | sideration and has not yet taken any defi- nite shape. The opinion of Mr. Cleveland and the members of the executive committee was that the financial question would be set- tled at this coming session of Congress | and so disposed of as not to enter into the | congressional campaign next fall. ——— vi lism at the White House. ‘The vandalism in the green room of the White House, referred to elsewhere in The Star, occurred some time ago, and was kept secret, but the tree cutting was of more re- cent date. = Verdict for Defen: In Justice Bradley’s court (Circuit, Divis- ion 1) today the case of S. F. Beach against Richard F. King, action for slander, $5,000 damages, was tried and resulted in a ver- dict for the defendant. The parties are dealers in the markets. Mr. J. McDowell | Garrington represented the plaintiff, and Stated that the complaint was that defend- ant on May 2, 1892, said of and concerning the plaintiff that he was using boxes in selling his strawberries containing less than @ quart, and was thereby deceiving the pablic. The complainant testified that while it was true he had some boxes measuring less than a quart, he was selling for quarts only the larger for 2 cents and others at 20 jand 13 cents. The defendant claimed the | truth of his statement, and two witnesses testifed to buying the short boxes for quarts. The plaintiff denied that he had so sold them. The court instructed the jury that if they found the boxes were placed on | the stand to deceive, the plaintiff could not recover, and that it was the duty of the plaintiff to inform the public that the short boxes were not quarts. Messrs. Gar- nett and Maedel appeared for defendant. ee Heary Turnbal y want. ‘The will of the late Henry Turnbull was j filed today.

The celebration during Thanksgiving week which has been planned by the Legion of | Loyal Women, will be held in the hall of the Builders’ Exchange instead of in the hall of the Legion, 614 12th street.

Derby Said About Light- ing in His An Report. As stated in The Star's summary of the: annual report of Capt. Geo. McC. Derby, assistant to the Engineer Commissioner of the District, an increased appropriation for street lighting was urgently regom- mended. The report said: “At the close of the fiscal year the streets were being lighted with 332 1000 candle-pow- | er electric lights, an increase of eight; 5,94 gas lamps, an increase of 458; and 700 oil lamps, an increase of 161. “The service has been about the same as heretofore. The streets of this city are most difficuit to light, owing to the great number of trees planted on the curb line. The heavy shade makes the use of large electric lights at wide intervals generally | unsuitable, and the high price charged by the electric company makes it impossible to even extend this system to all the streets where the trees will permit. The trees are generally located so near the curb that the lamp posts have to be set on practically the same line as the trunks of the trees, so that even in winter, when the trees are) bare of leaves, the streets look gloomy at night as compared with the streets of most large capitals. Experiments are in pro- gress looking to u change in the type o' lamp post and lantern to obviate this diffi- culty as far as possible. “The following estimates are respectfully submitted for the next fiscal year: “One superintendent of lamps ($800 sub- mitted), $1,800; for three inspectors of lamps (one submitted), at $900 each, $2,700; for maintaining. operating and extending the $000. lighting system ($41,000 submitted), “A marked increase is asked in the appro priation for street lighting, because it is | not believed that the existing service is satisfactory, or in keeping with the high standard set in other branches of the city government; nearly all of the streets are but dimly lighted, many of them not light- ed at all; there are many thickly inhabited alleys entirely without lights, and it is very generally believed that it is high time the street lighting department breaks free from its precarious partnership with the moon. “The necessities of the department have been further discussed in my report to the Engineer Commissioner, dated October 18, — and need not to be further dwelt upon ere. —— GAVE THEM AWAY. A Prisoner Tells of a Speak Easy a: an Officer Drinking. ‘Twenty policemen occupied seats in Judge Kimball's court this morning and were en- icying the testimony in the case of a young man named Patrick Kenny, against whom were charges of vagrancy and profanity. Patrick and his sister, Mrs. Biddle, are owners of the property near the Soldiers’ Home, where the Dempsey “speak-eas! was conducted. The young man was ar- rested some days ago, and when he went on the stand to testify in his own behalf he denied that he had troubled his sister, as stated by Mr. Biddle, his brother-in-law. “The whole trouble is that he wants to get rid of me,” said Patrick, “and now the matter is in the court I want to tell you that Biddle keeps a speak-easy.” “Is that where you got your liquor?” ask- ed the judge. “Yes, sir.” Mr. Pugh, the prosecuting officer, took a hand in the affair, as he wanted to get the names of witnesses. ; “Can you tell me the names of any per- sons who have visited there?” he asked. “Yes, sir,” replied defendant, “but do I to tell them here?" ‘ou do, indeed,” said Mr. Pugh. “Give us some of them.” “John Brown, Jim Maloney and Joe Bol- ing.” “Any more?” “Paddy Boling and Paddy Ryan.” “Are any of them soldiers?” Brown and Ryan live in the home.” Who else?” “Oh, I've seen policemen in there. Who?” “Mr. Matthews, toward the officer. Mr. Matthews was soon at Mr. Mullow- ney’s chair, and he was anxious to have the man on the stand asked if he had ever seen him (Matthews) drink, and the question was asked. “Yes, sir,” answered Kenny, “I saw him drink a glass of beer in there the other night.” “Did he ever sit down while there?” “Yes, sir; and he sometimes remained in the house an hour or more.” Judge Kimball imposed a fine of $% for profanity and took the young man’s per- sonal bonds. Mr. Pugh says he will issue a warrant against Mr. Biddle. —_—>—_—_ Municipal ws. Private Lighting. To the Editor of The Evening Star: The old saw that “a little learning is a dangerous thing” was never better exempli- fied than by the article in your Saturday's issue entitled “Municipal vs. Private Light- ing.” Mr. Dodge's motive in educating the public in the technicalities of electric Iight- ing may be a worthy one, but it would be well for him to take an A, B, C course in electricity before assuming the “role” of educator. He says: “The ‘volt’ the volume of current, the ‘ampere’ the ef- ficiency of same.” If this is so then Gor- den, Thompson and all electricians of any prominence are mistaken, as well as the writer. Again, concerning the candle power of are lamps he says: “The terms 1,000 can- dle power, 2,000 c. p., &c., are what is term- ed the nominal candle power of lights, us- ing a current of a certain number of volts and a certain number of amperes.” Here, again, is an item of news that will surprise the electric lighting fraternity, for in an experience of ten years I do not know of a single instance where this rule has been adopted, either by consumer, producer or are lamp manufacturer. That statement of Mr. Dodge's which reads, “As our are Lights are by law only required to be a nom- inal 1,000 ‘c. p. it will readily be seen that in reality they furnish but about 62 ¢. p., even if they are really 1,00 nomingl c. p., which may or may not be the case,” fs in- correct. If Mr. Dodge will again consult his friend, Capt. Derby, he will learn that the law requires of the electric lighting | company of this city a nominal candle; power of 2,000 and an actual candle power of 1,000, and if he had the slightest practical knowledge of electric lighting he would know that there is not an are lamp in the city of Washington that is not above the latter requirement. If in all dealings be- tween producer and consumer (electric) all technical terms were swept out of existence | it would be far better for both. As for the public, who pay the bills, what they require is “light, more light,” and they are perfect- ly competent to determine whether they} are getting a good light or not without be- ing educated up in the matter of “watts,” | “amperes” and “candle power.” As for the | District furnishing {ts own light, if Mr. Dodge has no better authority than that | feeble wail from Youngstown (why not} “Squeedunk”) the query may be dismissed | at once, only it may be a matter of deep | thought as to why no city of the first class | in the country has its own plant. Pardon | me, I forgot Alexandria, but let it go. CARBON. " he answered, pointing — Blount’s Blunder About Greece. To the Editor of ‘The Evening Star: The remarks about Greece of Mr. James H.

Aside from | | all sentimental grounds which make it in-| cumbent on a great nation like our own to| | show sympathy and offer encouragement to an enlightened and struggling people, there is another and most important reason for this government's keeping up diplomatic | | relations with Greece. ‘The main purpose, and very properly so, | no doubt, why we send diplomatic and con- | sular representatives to any country is to} promote and foster commerce. ‘To some ex-| tent this is the case with Greece.
