The controversy regarding the proposed. |, Sewering’ of the: town af Kensington into | Rock creek goes’on.. The enterprising town | and’ its. thrifty inhabitants are making the : best’ of the opportunity: to: spread abroad a ; knowledge of the attractions: of: the: village. ‘Whatever seriousness: there: was im the pro- Pcsal to drain: Kensington by means: of a sewer discharging into Rock creek, the danger that such a plan would be carried |into execution appears to have been avoided, as: tlie neighboring property: own- ers through whose land the run that emp- , ties:\into Rock creek flows: have practically given notice that they: will: not. permit such: @ proceeding |. Mr.F. Benjamin, whose views given through ‘The Star called out a vigorous reply from: Gen. Boynton of. the Rock Creek Park commission, haa: sent to The Star a. re- jeinder to Gen. Boynton's: repiy; Mr. Ben- jamin says: “My object in stating: that Kensington: is am incorporated town of Maryland was to give notice to the uninformed that it was not within the jurisdiction of the District of Columbia, a position that might easily have been assumed after reading the threats aimed at her by the Rock Creek Park commission and others. As one of those interested in the r erty confiscated for the uses of ‘Rock Creek Park,’ I am fully posted as to the inauguration of that scheme and its: history up to date. I fuily | approve of the plan of setting aside this beautiful seetion as a public park, and will as far as: Gen. Boynton: in: protecting thts park from: anything, likely to impair its usefulness:or mar its beauty. But my zeal. ; in this direction would be tempered by an intelligent appreciation of the conditions affecting the park, and of the rights of others:in matters affecting health and, pos- sibly, life itself. THe issue between Gen. Boynton and niyself is a matter of opinipn. } ‘The general assumes that a sewerage sys- tem for Kensington which would carry its sewage to- Roek creek would pollute its waters to the extent of injuring Rock Creek Park, impairing the health of the people of Washington, and, incidentally, as ‘the nation.’ I deny this. assump- lon, Mr. Benjamin then states his. various grounds = eee that the proposed sewage plan could not in any wi injure Rock Creek Park. reece “Gen. Boynton,” he says, “need not to Great Britain for evidence as: to the oe fect of polluting streams. Our own Phila- delphia furnishes a complete example of an extreme case, park and alli ‘Twelve towns, each many times larger than Ken- sington, and a huncred factories of various kinds empty their sewage and concentrated filth into the Schuylkill river above Phil- adelphia and Fairmount Park, and this water is not only used for ordinary do- mestic purposes, but is: drunk by the citi- zens of Philadelphia. We have not heard: that Fairmount Park is ruined by having the befouled Sehuylkill coursing through its limits. Here is a small and comparatively shallow stream, which is an open sewer for @ dozen large towns within twenty miles of Philacelphia, and lined with factories which pour their offal directly into the stream, conditions which are a thousand- fold: more aggravated than .anything pos- sible at Kensington or along Rock creek, and, while we do not commend such condi- tions,and' would not have them even approx- imated around Washington, we do not hear that Fairmount Park is anything but the most. beautiful place of public recreation in this country, and the healthfulness of Philadelphia compares favorably with that of Washington. There has. been no effort to suppress the towns that use the Schuyl- Kill as. an. open sewer, or compel them to bottle up their sewage. This is: only one instance of the kind. There are numerous others, ail tending to prove my’ assertion that the action of moving water and. the air on: sewage matter rapidly and effe¢tive- ly dissipates gases that may be farmed from: foul organic matter. “It will be difficuit,” he adds, “for even , the general to convince Congressmen, who | do. not seem to care enough about the park to: properly police it and prevent the pos- sible destruction of its trees from fires built by tramps, that a stray bacteria from Kensington floating on a wavelet of Rock creek will injuriously affect the health of the minnows and the eels, the rabbits or the muskrats, that. now find safe refuge in the park. I will join: the generai and other citizens proud of our beautiful country in | hoping that at some time: not entirely’ re- moved from our personal enjoyment Con- gress may have another fit of liberality, | when the condition of the treasury war- | rants it, amd there may be an appropria- tion for park purposes which will make the | commigsioners something more than cus- todians for purposes of litigation and news- Paper controversy only, but when that time comes Kensington will be a part of greater Washington, and its sewer problem will be solved. In the meantime, Kensington witi protect her own, with malice toward none.” ee Another Incendiary. While the officers were out this morning investigating the’ fires at. the two churches: yesterday there was an incendiary at work in South Washington. This incendiary, the police think, was a colored woman, al- though they have not succeeded in tracing .the crime to any particular individual. ‘The building, set on fire is a small cne-story frame structure at No. 202 M street south- | west, which is occupied by a colored man named Alonzo Whitfield as a barber shop. The fire was started on the outside of the little structure, where some rags saturated | with coal oil were set on fire and oil had also been sprinkled on the building. Soon after the match was applied Policemen Bruce and Purks came along and they ex- tinguished: the flames before any damage was done. Whitfield, the ewner of the shop, was married last night, and the po- lice have an idea that some woman who wanted the barber and could not get him committed the crime. ———— Same Money Complexion. When the membership of the Fifty-fourth Congress is analyzed, says: Josiah. Patterson of Tennessee in the NorthAmerican Review, it will be found not to materially differ from that of the Fifty-third Congress, so far as the financial question is concerned. In fact, the Senate in the Fifty-fourth Con- gress will be more pronounced for the free coinage of silver than it is now; while the House, ‘like the present House, will oppose it. This anomalous condition of affairs grows out of the admission of the sparsely | populated states in the silver regions of the west. The eighteen states lying north of | the Potomac and Ohio rivers and east of the Missouri have a majority of forty-six in the House of Representatives, in a total membership of 356; while the other states have a majority of sixteen in the Senate, in @ total membership of eighty-eight. The nine states of Colorado, Nevada, North and South Carolina, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, Oregon. and Washington, are represented in the upper house. by eighteenSenators and in. the iower house by only thirteen members. New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Illinois have only eight Senators, but they have 107 representatives. in. the Hoyse: The states of Nevada, Wyoming and Idaho, with an aggregate population of less than 200,000, are represented’ in the Senate by six Senators and in the House by three members,. when the same population, if | situated in New York or Texas, would be Fontitled to only one representative in: the lower branch. Thus it is that, notwith- }standing a very large majority of the ‘American people are for sound money, they are, under existing. conditions, powerless ta. legislate on the subject. —_—_—__+ e+ _. An Okiahoma Town Site Decisio Secretary Smith today decided the case of J. B. Ditter and others against Daniel F. Stiles, involving the town: site of Hart- man, Oklahoma. The decision is in favor of Stiles, and under it the three ar four hundred occupants of the site will have to obtain their title from him. ————— The “Medical Press’ tells a story of a gentleman who went to visit a friend who was an inmate of a lunatic asylum. He Icoked at the clock and asked if it was right. The lunatic gazed at him with a lcok of compassion for a minute or so, and then said: “Do you think it would. be here if it was right, you lunatic?” The presiding officer of the Presbyterian general assembly that meets in Pittsburg in May is to have a gavel made from olive weod from Nezareth, set with stones from the banks of the Jordan. ‘TWO MILPFARY POSTS. Am Error in Copying Makes Consider- fi able Difference With 2. Law. An error by some congressional clerks in ) making up the copy of the sundry civil ap- the intention of Congress: in providing for | involves’ alsa: the rivalry of the cities of Seattle and Wash:, and: prabably | will result in favor/of Seattle: When: tite | bill: was pending: in the House Senator | Suuire;. who: lives at Seattle, gave notice: of an. amendment for the-establishment by: the: | Secretary of War of a post on. Puget sound. ‘This would mean. a post at Seattle, as Gen. Otis, in.command of tite Department of the Columbia, had already reported in: favor of that point. Representative Doolittle, lives at Tacoma,. then offered an anrend+ | ment in the House for’ a post at Puget | sound, with a proviso that its: location should. be determined by a: board: of army ‘officers, none of whom: should be stationed in the- department where: the post was lo- cated. This. was adopted in the House. The Senate struck out the proviso for an: ex- amination. by an army board. Senator | Roach of North Dakota offered an amend~ ment in the-Serate, which was adopted; providing, for the abandonment of the mili- tary post at Fort Yates and the establish- ment of a post at Bismarck, North Dakota.. When the bill was in conference an agree- ment was reached to restore the Doolittle It now appears that the provision for a ; board’ of army officers: to.examine arrd: re- |! port upon the hest site applies to the Bis- marck post, while the Secretary may 0 ahead and locate the post on Puget sound at |" his diseretion. The-department cannot. act. on what may have been the intention of Congress, but must construe the law and apply it as it reads, It will be a serious disappointment to a dozen or more am- bitious places on Puget sound, which were getting ready. to: present their claims for the post to a board appointed for that pur- pose. Now the claims will be: presented to the Secretary, who will propably. be gov- erned by the advice of the’ army officers who: have examined the matter;and the: last annual: report of Gen.

PRINTING TELEGRAPHY. & New System Being Tented Between Washington and Bultimere. The Star today received a telegram printed on what at first seemed to be the work of a Greek or Choctaw typewriter, but on examination proved to be moditied Arglo-Saxon. It was an invitation from Mr. Edward S. Norton, general manager of the United States Postal Printing Tele- graph Company, to witness the testing of tbe new method of telegraphing between Baltimore and Washington by means of the Rogers system of rapid printing telegraphy. The system is simple in its mechanical construction, and is easily operated, al- theugh the machines in use are the first of the kind, and will doubtless be vastly improved. Briefly described, the system ccnsists of typewriting a lot of small sten- ciled holes on a stiff paper ribbon, which is run under a bunch of little steel fingers er styli, by which the current is com- pleted and interrupted as the ribbon runs through the machine, and communicated ever a wheel revolving a thousand times a minute, to the destination. Here, by an ingentous use of the electro-magnet to operate eight simple dies or types stamp- ing on paper through an ink ribbon, pre- cisely like the typewriter. ‘The whole apparatus is so contrived that | the typewriter carriage is thrown back and turned forward automatically by the elec- tric current. The system, it is said, is capable of sending and receiving at the rate of 200 words a minute. ——— BUILDING STADLEs. Regulation Adopted by the Commis- siconers This Morning. It was officially announced this afternoon by. Dr. Tindall, the secretary to the board of Commissioners, to the assembled news- Paper men around the lodge room of the lystic Order of Three that the Commis- Sioners in secret session assembled had adopted an amendment to the building regulations of the District, so far as they apply to the ‘erection of stables. The amendment reads as follow: No private stable shall be erected within twenty feet of a dwelling fronting a street or avenue, nor within twenty feet of any building, other than those used for me- chanical or storage purposes, and dwell- irgs fronting alleys, unless the written corsent of the owner or owners of such dwelling or building shall first be filed in the office of the inspector of buildings. No private stable shall be erected within six feet of the building line of any street or avenue, if door openings are designed to ke placed on the street or avenue front. Nor shall permits be issued to introduce dccr openings on street or avenue fronts in private stable buildings now erected that are within six feet of the building ine. So far as.is known this constitutes the werk of the Commissioners and the re- mainder of the District government up to 1:40 o'clock this afternoon. —._—. Married the Convicts Sweetheart. Dyer Scanlan, a convict in the peniten- tiary at Jolict, IIL, has finished a ten years’ sentence, and he threatens to kill Frank Mead of Chicago, who robbed him of his: old sweetheart. In 1886 Miss Minnie Cros- hy of Grand Rapids, Mich., went to Chi- cago. Her mission was to work among the unfortunate to raise them to a better life. |, She met Dyer Scanlan. and Frank Mead. Both were hardened characters, the for- mer said to be the most desperate criminal Chicago ever produced. In May, 188d, Scanlan was sentenced to the penitentiary for ten years for a conflict with the police. While in jail awaiting trial he was fre- quently visited by Miss Crosby, and soon. an attachment grew up between the two. When Scanlan went down to the peniten- tiary he had.Minnie’s promise to remain true to him and become his bride on the day of his release. She was evidently en- deavoring to keep this pledge, for the most endearing letters have passed between the two as often as the rights of the prisoner would permit. But about two months ago. the letters ceased, and since it has been learned that Miss Crosby became the wife of Frank Mead. ———_-+e+_____ Wolf Hunting in Chicago. Brom the Chicago Tribune. For some days patrolmen who travel beats: in the neighborhood of Prairie ave- nue and 26th street have been startled, and some of them not a little frightened, by a strange animal which they occasionally encountered in alleys or saw dodging from back yards and racing down. dark streets. Whatever it be, the brute*is having lots of fun at the expense of the policemen and the milkmen of the district, to say noth- ing of an occasional joke with some house- keeper who carelessly leaves her day’s sup- ply of meat exposed on the back porch. About the time the animal began to ap- pear in the neighborhood housekeepers be- gan to complain that their day’s supply of milk was being stolen as soon as it was left. by the milk dealer. The complaints be- came so numerous that one of the milkmen decided tu keep watch. He saw the thing and fired’ at it, but made a miss. It was a small gray wolf or coyote. People in the neighborhood say that the animal has been seen frequently during the recent days of the mild weather. It was also around: last fall, but during the winter was not to be seen, and it was thought to be dead or to have sought some place where living was easier to secure. Lieut. O’Brien has an explanation which e thinks may account for the presence of the animal in his district. Last summer, he says, a man came to a smail Hotel’ in State street, having with him four prairie wolves, which he thought were securely fastened in a cage. But during his stay at the hotel the animals got loose. The owner advertised for the recovery of his pets, but without avail. No trace of them could be found. Lieut. O’Brien thinks the beast which is bothering his policemen is. one of the long-lost wolves. The policemen at the station are prac- ticing with their revolvers, and there is likely to be a wolf skin nailed to the sta- tion house door before long. fein Wm. Elkins of Philadelphia, through the Academy of Fine Arts, has offered a prize of $5,000 in connection with sixty-fifth an- nual exhibition for the best work by an American painter to be exhibited at the Academy of Fine Arts in Philadelphia, in December next. priation bill sent to the President has balked |* : the establishment of two military: posts: It: THE NEW SWISS MINISTER Daties: ‘The Secretary of State: Wilt Present’) Him to the President Tomerrow. The new. Swiss: minister; Dr. I. Bi Pioda, |! was’ in. the afllce of the legation: yesterday | at 1720 EE street, and’ there receivedi a num- ber of callers, who: came to pay their. ae spects’ ta him. Dr. Ptoda arrived” e Wednesday. evening,. and has. spent. the ine terval since. with: the. secretary of the: le- | gation; Mr. Charles ‘Tavel,, making: himself familiar: with: the routine of legation busi- ness. Dr. Pioda is a young man, whom the newspaper pictures have not belied in mak- ing him good lookiffy- and: student like. He is of medium height, with an athletic and well knit frame, and. is evidently fond of active outdoor life. His complexion is light and: reminds one somewhat of his distin- guished’ predecessor; the popular Coli, Emil Frey. Dr. Pioda was, born im Locarno,in the Canton: of Dessin, and comes. of a. distin- guished family, his father having been a member of the bundesrath, and formeriy minister for Switzerland at Florence, Italy:. For ten years Dr. Pioda has been coun- sellor of legation at Rome. He-is the third: minister from the Swiss. federation. Col: Frey: being the first nae Claparede the second. In conversation Dr. Pioda is. a genial’ and interesting gentleman. He speaks English, not fluently, but with an excellent pronui ciation, evidently being more at home, how- ever, in French or German. “I had been ,’" said he yesterday to to expect to see a beauti~ ful city in Washington, and my expecta- tions are exceeded. It is a wonderfully beautiful city, and it is just that its fame is spreading through Europe. America having wealth, is now becoming a master in the arts. And I am delighted with your climate. Such a sunny, warm March gives: me assurance I shall enjoy being out of doors here:” Dr. Pioda laughed diplomatically and discreetly said nothing when he was asked if there was any diplomatic business be- tween the United States and Switzerland that could add’ another to our standing ist of international quarrels. He will be presented. to President Cleve- land by the Secretary of State tomorrow morning. es REVOLUTION IN PERU. Caceres Resigns and a Provisional Government is Established. A dispatch to the London Times: from Lima, Peru, says that the loss in: killed and. wounded. on. both sides in: the fighting about the capital was 2,000. No foreigners were killed. The city is now quiet. ‘The dispatch adds: that Gen. Pierola,, the commander of the insurgents, entered’ the city with 2,000 men at dawn Sunday. The government. forces made a brave defense, and street fighting continued until early ‘Tuesday morning, when the diplomats ar- ranged a truce that was to be in force: un- til 2 o'clock Wednesday afternoon. This truce was arranged’ to allow both sides to bury their dead. It has now been a1 that Gen. Caceres and his forces, as well as Gen. Pierola, shall retire from the city. Other ddvices from Peru are to the effect that President Caceres has resigned, and that a provisional government formally de- clared the conclusion of the armistice be- tween the government and insurgents. The provisional government will issue a decree ordering the holding of new elections. Secretary Gresham’s Advices. Secretary Gresham has received a dis- patch from Minister McKenzie in Peru in reference to the recent revolution. Ac- cording"to Mr. McKenzie, there was bitter and sustained fighting in and around: Lima for three days.. At the end of this time there were over a thousand dead bodies lying unburied in the streets, and both sides. were exhausted. An armistice was agreed upon to permit the dead to be buried and the wounded cared for. After this was finished negotiations were still continued, and finally an agreement of seme sort was reached by. the leaders of the contending factions, but the. details of this were not learned: by the minister. ——_+e+—____ Architectural Possibilities. From the New York Tribune. When Bunker Hill monument was com- pleted the people: of Massachusetts looked upon it as a lofty shaft. If Bunker Hill munument could be set today by the side of come of the towering business buildings in New York city it would look trivial and insignificant. These cloud-kissing temples of trade would be still: more useful than they are at present if @ practical system of navigation of the air could be invented. How convenient and pleasant it would be to step from the twenty-second story of one of these sky-scrapers into an aerial car, and be wafted smoothly and safely to the thirtieth story of another mountain- height of a building in a few seconds. All the bother of going up and down in ele- vators would be avoided, and much time and trouble would be saved. If, however, journeys through the air do not become customary within a few yeers it may be desirable to connect the upper stories of these tall buildings with bridges. Take some of the highest buildings in Broadway, for instance. If bridges were thrown be- tween them people covld pass from one to another much more speedily than they can at the present time, and with an important economy of time and trouble. The possi- bilities of the New York of the future, with buildings of thirty, forty and fifty stories scatfered all over the town, and connected by a network of light but strong steel bridges far up in the air, appea strongly to the imagination. ——— Speed of Electrie Cars, Injury to life and limb from the excessive speed of electric cars has led to. much. tall of municipal and legislative restrictipn of “the deadly trolley,” in New York. De- vices have been invented which sound an alarm bell in a car when a predgtermined speed is reached: But an invention of’ a. Brooklyn. man goes a step further. It shut off the current when that limit is: reached, without waiting for a signal or leaving the motorman a chance to disregard the warn- ing. He leaves. it optional with the com- pany using his. apparatus. whether or not to: employ the bell attachment. This gov- ernor is attached to one axle of the car, and is operated by the centrifugal action of arms, which, at the right instant, close an electric circuit, energize a magnet, swing a switch and interpose “resistance” in the motor circuit. When the car slows down, the trolley current is restored, and’ is again under the motorman’s control. If it is desirable, on getting beyond the city: boundary, to exceed the speed limit at which the governor has been set, a simple contrivance at the road: side may be made to change this limit automatically and suit- ably, in which ever direction the car may be going. The invention is very much like a safety valve on a steam boller, and ob- viously a very useful thing. ee Abbie M. Gannett Dead. Mrs. Abbie M.

Firat Step Taken in the Purchase of the Dinmond Company's Piant. The evolution of the Pittsburg Plate Glass Company into a trust controlling all of the plate glass companies in the coun- try took its first step this week in the purchase of the properties of the Diamond Plate Glass Company, the great westerm rival. of the eastern. concerns. Col. A. L. Conger of the. Diamond: company: presided |’ over a meeting of the stockholders at the Grand Pacific Hotel, Chicago, and pre- sented the proposition of the Pittsburg. Plate Glass Company for the purchase. The. proposition was accepted and the board of directors authorized to close the sale. Though declining to give the figures in the transaction, Col. Conger said the in- vestment in the Diamond company. repre- sented: $3,000,000. The company has some valuable gas holdings in the Indiana fields and operates a factory at Kokomo and another at Elwood, Ind., employing at the present time 1,600 people. For several years the plate glass interests had: a strong combination or trust on prices: and kept prices up to a profitable margin. A year ago the combination went to pieces. All of the. factories were si up: with. glass. and the dull times had brought about a big slump in the trade. In an. effort to. rearrange prices the combination fell to pieces, and ever since then a sharp com- |, petition has: marked the trade. The Pitts- burg Plate Glass Company. represents some of the best elements and the largest capi- |) tal in the old combine and is endeavoring to. secure control of the trade. by direct purchase of all the plants. With the cap- | ture of the Diamond company the others are expected to follow. ——___+e+____ ‘The Country ts Stilt Young. From the Worcester. Spy- Every now and then we ‘are reminded how young this country is. A man named John L. Gill died in, Columbus, Ohio, the other day, at the advanced age of ninety,who was the originator of the immense coal business of that state. In the year 1827 or 1828 he took four six-horse wagon loads of stoves to Athens, and on the trip saw a blacksmith using coal. Inquiry developed that.the coal was dug from the Athens: hills. ‘The black- smith was induced to dig sufficient coal to load the teams'on their return trip. On: ar- rival in Columbus the coal was sold at 60 cents a bushel, $15 per ton, and used for blacksmithing purposes: in connection with. the stage coach line. This was the first coal ever carried to Columbus for manu- facturing purposes from the valley, and was the commencement of an industry in which great sums of money are invested j|and thousands of miners employed, and that has materially aided in making Ohio one of the great manufacturing common- |. wealths of the United States. And this was less: than. seventy years ago. ——__+ee —_—_ Her Husband's Assistant. Rev. Lila Frost Sprague is probably the first woman who has ever been called to act.as her ministerial husband's: assistant, and she, in that capacity, recently preach- ed her first sermon. The trustees of the Seeond Unitarian Church of San Francisco, of which Mr. Sprague is pastor, elected his wife as his official assistant about two weeks ago. Mrs. Sprague is'a regularly ordained min- ister and a graduate of the same theologi- cal school as her husband. Indeed, they were ordained at the same time shortly | after their marriage.
