Before That Hour the City Was Dark as Ink—Last Night's Experiences, There was more illumination of the loose methods in yogue in the District in the matter of lighting the streets last evening. There was little enough illumination on anything else, however, for more so-called economy was being practiced, and, though the moon did not rise until shortly after 10 o’clock, and was not very bright until near midnight, not a gas lamp was lighted, and the city was dark once more for at least three hours. This was the result of another order received by the gas company from the District buildings to the effect that there should be no lighting, because, for- sooth, there was a moon billed to appear. There was apparently no consideration paid to the fact that the moon was not scheduled until after 10, or to the additional fact that from 8 to 10 o'clock the streets are very much used by the people, and in the absence of both moon and lamps are very dark. The combination is not a pleas- ant one at any time. but it js a particularly bad one when there are suspicious charac- ters in and all around town. It was wrong of the moon not to rise earlier, of course, and it showed a lack of censideration on the part of her lunar ma- jesty. However, she has a supreme way of ignoring the wishes of most folks, and s0 the responsibility must be placed else- where. The Hour Question. In reference to Major Powell's statements contained in yesterday’s Star about the need of economy, an ex-official of the Dis- trict government, who formerly had charge of the street lamp work, said today to a Star reporter that up to 1890 the city was well lighted on a basis of 2,600 hours per lamp per year. There was no trouble with the schedules then, for an effort was made to accommodate them to the state of the weather and the condition of the moon. The reporter's informant went on to say that with 3,000 hours guaranteed there ought to be an abundance of light in the streets the year round, and that a very little care would be necessary to keep the service within the appropriation. The diffi- culty, he added, is that not enough pains are taken with the orders during the moon period of the month. The orders are given to the gas company too early in the day, and there is not enough communication between the officials and the gas people. “The city,” he went on, “could be given continuous service, that is to say, every lamp could be lighted every night of the year without reference to the moon, on a basis of 3,800 hours, an increase of 800 over the present appropriation. That would be an increase of less than one-fourth of the appropriation, and would give a splen- did service without the chance of there being a complaint. I know it to be a fact that so much of this alleged economy was exercised during the winter months of last year that when the spring months came along ihere was a large surplus in pros- pect, and the jamps were lighted every night, rain or shine. That was very pleas- ant while it lasted, but the people had dearly bought the gocd service of the spring, when they did not need it so badly, by an execrable service during the winter, when they needed it the worst way. A lit- tle more good judgment and foresight would equalize this matter,so that a steady and reliable service could be given the year round. Real Estate Transfers.

Elaborate Musical Program on Good Friday at St. Matthew's and St. Aloysius. The closing days of the solemn season of Lent, consecrated to the commemoration of the passion of the Redeemer, are observed in the Catholic Church with increased sol- emnity, and the faithful indulge in more vigorous penitence and mourning. Today is Maundy or Holy Thursday, and fs de- signed to commemorate the last supper and the institution of the sacrament of the Eucharist. Upon this day, also, the ofl or chrism used in baptism, confirmation and extreme unction is blessed. In (atholic churches the Tenebrae is sung today, as it was yesterday and will be tomorrow. This striking office consists of matins and lauds, and at its close all the lights are ex- tinguished, except one, which for a time is hidden under the altar as a symbol of the death and burial of the Lord Tomorrow, Good Friday, the most sacred day in the calendar of the Catholic Church, being the commemoration of the crucifixion. From the earliest times it has been observed with rigid fasting and mel- ancholy ceremonial. In ‘he Catholic Church the services of the day consists of the mass of the Presanctified, the racrei host not being consecrated on Good Friday, but being preserved from the preceding day. The ceremonial of the adoration of the cross is a striking feature of tlie ser- vices. Good Friday is also celebrated by the Episcopal Church with special solemnity. In England and Ireland the day s a legal holiday. Holy Saturday 1s observed with great solemnity also. The fire and the water of the baptismal font are blessed on this day, and from the fire thus blessed is lighted the Paschal Light, which is regarded as a symbol of the Lord risen from the dead. This light is kept burning during the read- ing of the Gospel at mass throughout the interval between Easter and Pentecost. While at all the Catholic churches the Good Friday services will be of impressive interest at St. Aloysius’ and St. Matthew's the services will be more elaborate and more beautiful than they have ever been in the past. Catholic churches are always noted for the excellence of their music at Eastertide, and interest especially centers in the efforts of the two churches named to provide beautiful and appropriate num- bers for the occasion. While the music of Easter Sunday is joyous in its character, that of holy week, and Good Friday espe- cially, is more solemn and weird in its themes, although it loses none of the elab- orateness which characterizes the Easter morning music. It is extremely touching in some of the principal themes, and the swectness and real melody probably show to better advantage than in its more joy- ous prototype. At St. Matthew’s Church the services will commence at 7 p.m., with the office of the Tenebrae, sung by the select choir. After the rendition of this, the sermon will be preached upon the ‘Passion of Christ,” and this is to be followed by Saviero Merca- dante’s wonderfully beautiful oratorio,“"The Seven Last Words of Our Savior on the Cross.” This last is the most solemn serv- ice in the year, commemorating the three long hours that Christ suffered on the cross, and ending when He again cried with a loud voice and gave up the ghost. It will be rendered by the full choir, with orches- tral and organ accompaniment. The or- chestration is composed of string instru- ments only, and the performers were care- fully selected by Prof. Herman Rakemann, the violin virtuoso. Prof. John Porter Law- rence will preside at the organ, and the whole will be under the direction of L. E. Gannon. The choir on this occasion will be com- posed of the following named: Sopranos, the Misses Cecelia V. Murphy, Mary Sweeny, Lillian Hunt, Zafira Hancock, Emily Donath, and Madams_ Goldsboro Goddard, Sherman Hight and J. H. Mar- ten, assisted by Kitty Thompson Berry; altos, Madam Marguerite Nolan Martin,and the Misses Lavina Milliken, Belle Howard, Kate Trainor, assisted by Pauline Whit- aker; tenors, Messrs. Wm. H. Burnett, Charles F. Xanten, Sherman Hight, Robert Smart, Thomas W. Cridler and James Pat- terson; baritones, Messrs. J. H. Sheets and L. E. Gannon, assisted by Signor Mariano Main; bassos, Messrs. John H. Nolan, John M. McElroy, Charles B, Hepburn, Charles T. Hull and Charles W. Hancock, assisted by James F. Nolan, jr. The solo lessons of the office of the Tene- brae will be sustained by Messrs. Sherman Hight, Charles F. Xanten, Robert Smart and John H.

Other Notes of a General Interest—The Brotherhood Meetings—City Assess- ment and Value of Property. Owing to the fact that when the electric light plant was put in in this city only one set of boilers was set up and no arrange- ments made for lighting the city whenever it was necessary to blow out and clean the boilers, once each month the entire city is left in almost total darkness, and last night the “corporation moonlight” failed to do its duty until a late hour. The officials have been unable as yet to regulate the moon to suit their blowing out process, and many times when it should shine forth in all its glory for the benefit of the city fathers it “just don’t.” Brotherhood Mecting. The last of a series of Lenten lectures, under the auspices of the Brotherhood of St. Andrew of Grace Church, was given in that church last night, and a large congre- gation filled the church. Rev. P. P. Phil- lipps, rector of St. Paul’s Church, was the preacher of the occasion, and his address was of peculiar interest and was listened to with wrapt attention by those present. The regular meeting of the various chap- ters of the brotherhcod will be held in the several brotherhood rooms tonight. City Assessment. Commissioner of Revenue Duffey has completed the city assessment for 1895. The total assessment for the year, real and personal estate and bank stock, amounts to $5,106,000. Last year the same items amounted to $4,951,000, an increase of $125,000. The commissioner of revenue con- siders the assessment a fair one and not based on a high figure, and as he gave con- siderable attention to the many changes which have occurred from constant ex- changes of small lots, he also thinks the prcperty has been properly described and correctly assessed to the owners. Exciting Runaway. Two horses attached to a huckster’s wagon, loaded with eggs en route to Wash- ington, while standing in front of Mathew, Kell & Co.’s store, on lower King street, about noon today became frightened at an electric car and ran away. They dashed down King street and into the ferry house, knocking the steps all to pieces, then changed their course and dashed for the ferry boat, but fortunately the wagon got hung up in a guard rail and they were stopped, else they would have gone over- board. Ran Away From Home. The police of this city have been re- quested by the Washington police authori- ties to look out for Paul W. Thompson, a young white boy about fourteen years old, who, in company with Charles Walters, a white youth seventeen years old, ran away from his home in Washington on last Tues- day. Nothing has been seen of either of the boys in this city, though the police are still on the lookout for them. Notes. D. W. Whiting is quite sick at his home on Fairfax street. The members of the Alexandria assembly will give a dance on the Friday after Eas- ter. Mrs. R. W. Arnold has returned from a visit to friends in Manchester. There will be several sparring contests in this city on Monday night next. The fair for the benetit of the Friendship Drum Corps is attracting large crowds nightly. Jefferson Phillipps, who is serving a term in the Richmond penitentiary for the kill- ing of George S. Smith in this city, has been baptized as a member of the Roman Catholie Church. Mr. Millard F. Padgett had his badly mashed while working in Tr machine shop yesterday. Rev. Father Cutter of St. Mary’s Church left for Richmond today to obtain oils for use in his church throughout this year.

There were only two cases of minor importance; Charles Lovell, charg- ed with assault, fined $2; Norton W illiams, fined $1. ee Restored to Citizenship. The President, by executive pardon, has restored to citizenship John W. Mowbray, who in 1889 was convicted of illegal regis- tration in New York and served his sen- tence of six months in the Elmira peniten- tiary and paid a fine of $50. In the opin- ion of the President the circumstances a tending Mowbray’s offense and his con- viction and sentence and the evidence of his good behavior and law-abiding dis- position during the period of nearly five years since he suffered punishment for his érime, justifies his restoration to citizen- ship, and pardon is granted for that pur- pose. —E Funeral Services. Funeral services over the remains of Capt. Acdison A. Jackson were held this morning in the chapel of J. W. Lee's un- dertaking establishment.
