Haines, who represents in this city the Brown system of electrical propul- sion, and fs also general manager of the Capital Railway Company, has prepared a statement to be submitted to the District Commissioners in reference to the killing of the horse belonging to Mr. J. W. Middle- ton, which, it has been alleged, was the re- sult of contact with one of the boxes in use on the line of that company Saturday even- ing last. The full particulars of the acci- dent have already appeared in The Star. Mr. Haines said last evening to a Star re- porter that he has made an investigation of the whole affair and is confident he will be able to convince the Commissioners that the condition of the horse previous to the shooting was due to other causes than a shock by electricity.

Mr. Haines has been informed by other parties that the animal had at least one or two serious complaints, one of which is said to have been the “blind staggers.” Dr. C. M. Emmons, professor of com- parative physiology and histology in the same college with Dr. C. B. Robinson, who ordered the borse killed after the occur- rence, said: “I have not as yet seen the animal, but on general principles of electro-therapeu- tics, the assertion that the horse was shocked and killed by the contact box of the Capital Railroad Company is, as a mat- absurd.

An officia! of the Capital railway is au- thority for the statement that yesterday morning Mr. Middleton called at the of of the railway company and stated that he was willing to submit the question of the cause of the injury to his horse to arbitra- tion, and that the railway company ac- cepted the proposition. Mr. Middleton then, the official said, made an appot ment with the railway off to ag: take up the matter in the afternoon, and meanwhile the company made arrange- ments to carry out the agreement. Mr. Middleton did not, however, return at the time designated by him, and so nothing came of the agreement During Mr. Middieten’s stay at the office thé railway officials suggested that the in- vestigation of the cause of the accident be left with the District Commissioners, but Mr. Middleton did not agree to this.

Complains Against His Brother. Grover Siias, twelve years old, was tried in the Police Court this morning on a charge of disorderly conduct. Policeman Wheeler arrested him on complaint of his (the boy’s) younger brother, who stat- ed that Grover had struck him with a stone. In court it was shown that the missile was a base ball, inatead of a stone, and the court dismissed the case. Judge Scott suggested that a little whipping might do some good, and the father said he had whipped one of the boys. “Which one?” the court asked. “This one,” he enswered, pointing to the one whose head had been injured. “Why did you whip him?” Mr: Pugh as “Because he cried.” Spring’s Laces and Veil= illy Laces, from 3 to 5 inches mpagne Lace, of which we have a M............. 50 to 70c. yd.
