DEATH TO THE TROLLEY Suocessful Operation of the Ninth Street Underground Electric Road. Two Motors Sent Over the Entire Lin Without the Slightest Trouble. Just after the last horse car of the 9th street line left its southern terminus last night the Metropolitan Raflrcad Company Started two of its new electric motors over its north and south line on a trial trip. From the moment the cars started from the power house, at the foot of 4% street, until they returned after traversing the en- tire distance to Garfield Hospital, at Bound- ary and 10th streets, there was not the sligntest Interruption of the transit, except when the forward car was stopped to see that the switches were not misplaced and to remove obstructions in the slot rail and conduit. What made this trip of especial interest to the officers of the company was the fact that {t rained during almost the entire time that the cars were out, and pools of water formed themselves along the entire route on the asphalt. This rain, together with the heavy rain of the previous night, had made the conduit as damp as ordinary winter weather would make it, but not- withstanding the presence of so much mois- ture, no leak of electricity was shown up- on the ammeters at the power house,where the force of the current is constantly, reg- istered. The next trial will be of a train made up ef a motor and a trailer car. If the trip of this trein is as satisfactory as the trial last night the pubile may expect to have the pleasure of riding on electric cars on 9th street before next week. Among those who were pastengers on the initial trip were President Phillips, Chief Engine2r Cornett, who acted as motorman on the forward car; Mr. Nathan- jel Wilson, Mr. Robert H. Weaver and about sixty others. Along the route there Were a number of the curious, and quite a crowd gethered at New York avenue and Sth street and greeted the first car by burning blue and red Bengal lights. The successful operation of the 9th street line has determined the company upon pushing the work of continuing the under- ground electric system over {ts entire road, and work upon that portion of it running from 9th and F streets northwest to Lin- coln Park and around that reservation to 15th street east will be commenced shortly and finished before next spring. The draw- ings for this portion of the road have al] been made and submitted to and approved by the District Commissioners. It is now expected that within fourteen months the entire line, including important extensions, will be fitted with equipment similar to that which has proven so successful on 9th street. ———+—__ THE TROLLEY WAR. Notice Served by the Authorities oa the Company. The Commissioners would appear to be determined in their warfare upon the ob- noxious trellcy poles within the city lim- its, and it now looks as though the trolley kirgs have more trouble in store for them in the Police Court and out. The Eckington and Soldiers’ Home rail- way has been notified that it must remove without delay the poles which it has so lerg maintained through the center of North Capitol street. The formal notice which has been served upcn the company is as follows: “You are hereby notified to take down and remove, within ten days from the service of this notice upon you, the tron poles on North Capitol street in Wash- ington, north of New York avenue, erected by*your compan: “Failure to comply with this notice will the officers of your company to secution in the Police Court for ob- structing North Capitol street between New York avenue and T street extended by permitting said poles to remain after the time limited herein.” A copy of this order has been trans- mitted to the superintendent of police, with a request that he notify the Commissioners of a personal service of the paper upon the officers of the road. This action of the Commissioners is based upon a report made to the Engineer Commissioner by Inspector L. P. Brad- shaw, which reads as follows: “Pursuart to your verbal instructions di- recting an inspection of that portion of the Eckington and Soldiers’ Home Railroad Company's line occupying North Capitol street north of New York avenue, with a view to ascertaining to what extent said ecmpany kas complied with the law pro- hibiting the use of overhead wires, I have the honor to report as follows: “Between New York avenue and Florida avenue there are twelve iron trolley poles not in use and which carry no wires. “Between Florida avenue and the north- ern terminus, including those around Trux- ton Circle, there are eighteen trolley poles, none of which are in use or carrying wires except the last two, between which cne wire is suspended, which supplies light to a small shop belonging to the company alcrgside the tracks.” This latest move of the District authori- ties is not a new departure by any means, but is simply an extension of the line of tle against the trolley. They are fur- nishing Prosecuting Attorney Pugh with extra ammurition to fire into the camp of the enemy. He has expressed the inten- tion of lodging an information every day uinst the company, and, if necessary, inst every pole the company keeps up. The Comm ve added thirty poles with whi can do business, and have consequently increased the field of possi- Dillties in the matte: prtant Naval Orders. Capt. Theodore Kane has been ordered to command the Monterey September 2, re- lieving Capt. F. J. Higginson, granted one month's leave. Capt.

BUILDING REGULATIONS. The Commissioners Have Appointed a Revision Commission. The District Commissioners have ap- pointed a commission to revise the present building regulations so as to bring them up to date and make them satisfactory and as free as possible from the many imperfec- tions that experience has shown them to contain. The commission is made up of men familiar with the building’ business and its needs. It consists of Messrs. John B. Brady, building inspector; James G. Hill and Robert I. Fleming, architects; William G. Morrison,,builder; Appleton P. Clark, ir., and J. P. Freeman, architects, who were recommended by the board of underwriters to serve in an advisory capacity. Por a long time st there has been con- siderable dissatisfaction ‘with the building regulations in their present form, and In- spector Brady has ‘on varidus occasions had the opportunity to compare them with the regulations as they exist in other cities and to point out wherein Washineton was be- hind. The Commissioners have shown con- siderable inte and last year Mr. Truesdell, » made a thor- ough study of them with a view to thetr im- provement. Not onl been con- flicting in places, as w en to more or less doubt as to their interpretation, but they are alsu very inadequate and do not by any means cover the field as they should in a city of the size and importance of the The work of revision will nall one if it is to be done thoroughl: it will probably be some little time the task is completed. In some instances the regulations will be continued as they are, but more often radical changes will be necessary and many new ones will have to be added. It is the intention of the Com- missioners to secure a set of rules that shall cover as nearly as possible every con- tingency that may arise, so that With a copy of them at hand an architect or builder can go ahead and know just what the requirements of the District ‘are with- out all the time bringing up before the building inspector technical questions that ought to be settled once and for all in plain black and white. The regulations are to be much mcre mprehensive than they are now, and with the adoption of a satisfac- tory code the labors of both the building department and the architects and builders will be materially lightened. The new regu- lations will be submitted to the Commis- sioners for their approval before they are finally adopted. —— Brought Here. Levi Poindexter and William King, the young colored men arrested in New York on charges of dishonesty for the authori- ties here, reached this city yesterday after- noon in charge of a deputy marshal. Poin- dexter is charged, as heretofore published in The Star, with having entered the jewel- ry store of D. Richenbacker and stolen seventeen gold watches, All the property has been recovered and the prisoner was eommitted to Jail, as there is an indict- ment pending against him. There has been no indictment found against King as yet, but he is suspected of having robbed Mr. Emmert's house on 16th street and he has been identified as the individual who m an attempt to enter the h Wolcott. His case is being gated today, and he wiil probably not be given a preliminary hearing for several days, — ee Reading Reorganization.

A Sloop’s Captain Found Dead on Deck—Many Other Interest- ing Local Notes. The attention of the police has been call- ed to a rather strange occurrence for Al- exandria, It appears that people living on North Payne street, rear Queen, were aroused about 3 o’clock Tuesday morning by cries of “help,” etc., coming from a house occupied by a colored woman named Margaret Ross. A neighbor rushed in with a pistol, and, being directed to the back of the house, saw a big negro, perfectly nude, leap through the dining.room window and scale the back fence. The night was warm, and the negro’s back, which was glistening with perspiration, was plainly visible in the rays of the electric light near by. Two shots were fired at him, but went wide of their mark. The first known of his pres- ence in the house was a loud noise, caused by his knocking over a lamp while moving around in the dark. It woke Maggie Ross, the oldest daughter, and when she scream- ed he caught her by the throat and at- tempted to choke her; but she pulled away, and he made his escape as stated. The police will have but little to say about it, and there seems to be something of a mys- tery about the affair; but the story as it is told here comes direct from the girl's mother. Died on Deck. The body of Capt. Jack Kelley was dis- covered about 5 o’clock this morning in a chair on the deck of his sloop, the “French Smoot.” He was dressed only in his un- derclothes and had his hat on. Capt. Kel- ley has been in bad health for some years, and from the appearance of his body had been taken with a hemorrhage in the night and had attempted to go for heip when he sank In an armchair on deck, where he ex- Pired. Capt. Kelley was a divorced man, about fifty years of age, and had lived on his sloop for a number of years. He was of a very quiet and retiring disposition, and commanded the highest respect of all who knew him. His remains were removed to Wheatley's undertaking establishment, and will be interred by Potomac Lodge of Odd Fellows from their hall at 3 o'clock Sunday afternoon. - Charter Granted. In the corporation court yesterday Judge Norton grant:d a charter to the Anne Lee Memorial Association of this city, the ob- ject of which is to raise funds to erect a mcnument to the memory of the mother of Gen. Robert E. Lee. The capital stock is to be not less than $4 and not more than $10,000, and -he officers named for the cur- rent year are Mrs. L. W. Reed, president; Miss Sallie Stuart, vice president; Miss Alice E. Colquhoun, recording secretary; Miss Katharine H. Stuart, corresponding secretary; Mrs. Wm. J. Boothe, treasurer, and the trust2es are Messrs. L. W. Reid, J. = irke, W. A. Smcot, H. Strauss, M. B. Harlow, Geo. W. Ramsay, C. C. Carlin and Edgar Warfield. The Del Ray Garbage Fight. As stated in The Star yesterday after- neon, the complaint of the citizens of Del Ray about the garbage from this city being deposited on the grounds of the alms house to the discomfort of all living in that sec- tion of the county was referred jointly to the committees on poor and finance by council. The Del Ray people have decided to allow council three days to cover the pits and desist from carting the garbage there, and the action of the committees mentioned is awaited with much interest. The Del Ray pedple have but little confi- dence in the city council here, as they have employed Mr. C. C. Carlin to take legal steps to abate the nuisance. Notes. About thirty new names were added to the roll of membership of the Alexandria Kindergarten Association at the last meet- ing of the board of directors. The colored people of Alexandria gave a banquet to the teachers in attendance at the colored normal institute, now in ses- sion here, last night. Mrs. Olive Mason is quite sick at her home on South Washington street. Prof. Richard T. Hamilton, who was one of the teachers at St. John’s Military Academy for several sessions, but now of na, Md., is visiting friends in town. Misses Ewing of Prince street are spending the summer in Fauquier county. SS ANOTHER LIFE SAVED. Little Julius Becker Picked Up by a Cable Car Fender.

For the past few weeks the letter car- riers employed in this city have been sub- Jected to close espionage by secret agents cf the Post Office Department for the pur- Pose of ascertaining if any of them was derelict in duty. This morning, as a result of this watching, about twenty of the car- riers received notices suspending them from duty for various infractions of discipline. The suspensions were for various periods, frcm five to thirty days. Half a dozen others were simply reprimanded, while six mcre were notified that they must show cause within ten days why they should not be dismissed from the service by reason of charges filed against them. There is, consequently, much suppressed excitement among the men who wear gray uniforms tcday, and a considerable amount of apprehension as well.

Commissioner Seymour will probably recommend in his forthcoming annual re- port that legislation be enacted authorizing him to reduce the charge for official copies of patents and specifications. The law now limits the charge to a minimum of ten cents per copy, and the commissioner does not regard this as excessive where single copies are required or an assorted Ist of copies. He belleves, however, that the charge could be materially reduced where whole classes of patents are required, and that a reduction would benefit the govern- ment as well as the inventor, — eee ee Gone to Tacoma.
