That the lighting of the public| buildings and grounds shall be paid for by , the various departments in charge of them | ut the same rates charged private citizens, | and all citizens and other residents of the city of Washington shall, under the pro- visions of this act, be supplied, on their | application, with light at a uniform rate, | not to exceed 10 per centum above the act- | ual cost of production and distribution; and the said revenue shall be paid annually into the treasury of the United States until the government shall have been reimbur: for the money expended under the prov jons of this act, with interest on the same at the rate of 3 per centum per annum.” The Commissioners have judged that the Ughting of the public buildings and grounds without cost as provided in section three of the bill would from its extent be such a charge upon the service that the resulting actual cost of production and distribution together with any percentage thereon [ould be prohibitive of private use of the | light, and would therefore defeat the ob- | were opened by the Rev.

The resoiution of Mr. Holman (Ind.) directed the Secretary of the Navy to suspend until fur- ther notice payments of premiums for ex- tra speed and alleged that they were simply Zits to contractors.

Receives Hundreds of Appointment plications, ‘This was a genuine reception day for the new marshal, for as soon as Mr. Wilson seated himself, the callers were announced. Some presented their own claims and some the claims of others for the less than twenty places he has in his gift, and dur- ing the day there was a string of callers scarcely one of whom did not leave their papers. The mail, too, was full of applica- tions and already the bundles made up aggregate several hundred. In a conversa- tion with Mr. Wilson this morning, he stat- ed that he would be in no great haste in making changes in the office, and whatever he would do in this regard would be with the view of keeping up its*efficiency. Judg- ing from some of the applications, however, some seem to have the idea that he has places to bestow in which the sole duty is to sign the pay roll. - — THE HOTE! iL ZOO. A Distinguished Arrival Registers on Last Friday. Friday last Keeper Blackburn of the Zoo had the honor of welcoming there quite a distinguished gentleman, a native of Africa, and one whose short stay at the capital has already made him a great favorite with ail who have meeting him, Mr. “Puck,” for that is his name, is a great Chacma baboon, and is visiting the Zoo through the courtesy of his friend, Mr. McCadden of the Fore- paugh shows. The distinguished African will remain here until the opening of the circus season in the spring, when he will be forced to leave in order to fulfill a pro- fessional engagement he has with Mr. Mc- Cadden.- Mr. “Puck” stands as high as a good-sized boy, tipping the scales at Ww pounds or over, but in demeanor is much more sedate than any boy. Another new arrival at the Zoo is a baby kangaroo, which is just beginning to peep from the hiding place its mother affords it in her pouch. 2 See INSTALLING OFFICERS.

Wallace, the Spirk list, Makes An- other Court Appearan With a black eye and a lame leg Patrick Jules Wallace, the alleged spiritualist, en- tered the Police Court today, in order to close his account with the court. His con- cition he thought was sufficient proof that he was unable to appea> yesterday, and he, disclaimed any intention or desire on his part of trifling with the court, as Mr. Pugh suggested yesterday. He had been convict- ed on a charge of being a suspicious cha- racter and the court pronounced judgment, requiring him to give real estate security in the sum of $100 not to repeat the offense and behave himseif properly. As on Saturday, Wallace inquired some- thing of his rights. He wanted to know if he would be arrested if he simply heid a meeting similar to the one held a week ago, but the court could not answer the question. The judge told him that he would certainly be arrested if he performed any fraudulent act and repeated the offense charged against him the other day, and told him that if he conducted himself hon- orably he would certainly not get arrested. Mr. Pugh said he thought a repetition of the Sunday night meeting would be suifi- cient grounds for his arrest, for he (Mr. Pugh) thought the affair was fraudulent, and Wallace then wanted to know why others who were appearing as he appeared are not molested. He gave the bond and ended the case. ESE WAS AN ACCIDENT. The Sad Death of Little Grover Hi mer Yesterday. The flag on the Cranch school building was at half mast today in honor of little | Grover Hummer, who accidently shot him- self yesterday morning as recounted in The Star. This morning Coroner Woodward examined the teacher and several of the pupils at the school building and gave a certificate of death due to an accident. Some of the testimony was conflicting, but it was brought out beyond a doubt that the shooting was an &ccident. Victor Pyles, a schoolmate, testified that he met Grover on his way to school yesterday morning, and Grover showed him a pistol, which he said he had taken from his grand- mother’s bureau drawer to bring to a mah who wanted to kill a horse. Etta Watkins, a bright little girl, stated she saw Grover enter the school room and! Ne down on the floor. He did not speak to any one, but put the pistol to his head and fired. She was corroborated by Flor- ence Goss. Zach O'Neiil testified that he saw Grover with the pistol and asked him to let him look at it. Grover answered it was only a S-cent cap pistol. He started out to tell the teacher, when Grover caught him by the arm and told him to sit down. He was standing near the first seat when the shot was fired. Hall and was a great success.
