A Jury in Criminal Court No. 1, late yes- terday afternoon, returned a verdict declar- ing Eenjamin Dorwart, alias Darwart, gullty of a violation of the United States statute relating to pensions. Dorwart is a veteran of the civil war. The specific of- fense alleged was that for more than nine years he drew from the government two Separate and distinct pensions, one for $10 @ month and the other for $17 a month. In view of the defondant’s advanced years and feeble health, the jury, in its verdict, included a recommendation of mercy. Dorwart was granted the pension of $10 @ month on an application filed In 18 He made a second application in 1889, al- leging, it was charged, that he was not then receiving lowance. The second application was also approved, he being allowed $17. The pension bureau discov- ered the fraud last January, when tie de- fendant made application for an increase of his second pension. The defense of Dorwart was that the ons were for different disabilities 1 ut different times, and he was ignorance that he was violating the law. —> Sad News for Jaryman. The trial of James H.

Devices Used in House—The Latter Said to Be Thoroughly Modern, the New Power The changes in the service of the Capital Traction railroad which went into effect yesterday were due to the completion of one of the engines in the new power house ef the cSmpany on Water street, George- town, between S2d and 33d streets. As a result electricity was substituted for horse- power on the section of the Ine between the Capitol and.the navy yard, and trail- ers were attached to the cars on the lith street line. Another engine is nearly ready for use, and when that fs avail- able it is expected trailers will be at- ached to the cars running between George- town and the Navy Yard. Workmen are employed night and day, as has been the case for some time past, in getting the machinery set up and ready for use, and it is said by those who are familiar with such work, considering the fact that every plece of machinery is new, remarkable progress has been made. A third engine must be ready before the cars on the 7th street line will be operated by the new power, but as the cable fs still in use the necessity for haste is not looked upon as being as pressing as with the equipment of the other lines. It is said the 7th street line will be ready for operation by the new system when the Power will be available to run it. One of the results of the change made this morn- ing in the method of runr.ing that section of the road between the Capitol and the navy yard is that the company has some 130 horses for sale. Getting Rid of Horses. Since September last, wh2n the company was obliged to substitute horses for the crippled cable system, about 800 horses have been bought, but all have been dis- posed of from tims to time with the excep- tion of the number above named. As illus- trating the difficulty in running the road in the temporary fashion that has been nec- essary, nearly all the horses that were used on th> navy yard section were driven back and forth each day to Georgetown, as the stable quarters at the navy yard end were not adequate to accommodate the entire number. Now that the horses ar> to be finally got- ten rid of, the proposed change in the large stable buildings in Georgetown is about to be made. Men are engaged today !n tear- ing off the roof and taking down th side walls. It is the intention to transform the building into a car repair shop, where all minor repairs can be made. The portion of the building fronting on M street will be used as a car house. Modern Elcctri¢ Plant. It is believed the new power house will represent the best type of a modern electric power plant. Some of the devices that will be introduced are novel, especially those de- signed to save time and labor. The auto- matic method of feeding the fires with coal and removing the ashes is in use, as was e In the cable power house. A new . however, is the automatic oiling of all the machinery. An oil tank is lecated high up in the roof, and the oil by gravity is distributed to the various parts of the build- ing. By a simple device the movable joints in the large pipe conveying steam from the boilers to the engines are done away with, and a curved pipe instead of a straight one makes the connection between the main pipe and the engines. The purpose of the movable joints was to allow for the expansion of the metal, but it is sald the curved pipe accomplishes the same purpose and the annoyance arising from the constant leakage of water from the joints is entirely eliminated. At present the engines are being run at what is called high pressure, but as soon as the condensers can be used then the pressure will be changed. There are to be five engines when the entire work is completed, and it is said that the plant will produce not only sufficient power to eper- ate the present system, but about 100 per cent in addition. en MATTER OF PENSIONS. Commissioners Urge Provision for Firemen and Policemen. The District Commissicne ported in The Star at the time, recently transmitted te the chairmen of the two District committees in Congress the draft of a bill providing for the pensioning of members of the District police and fire rtments. Commissioner Wight, who has nediate charge of the two departments, written the chairmen of the two com- mittces relative to the matter, expiain- ing the necessity for the proposed legi lation and sabmitting interesting dz support thereof. Mr. Wight explained that the reason for establishing the various sums named in the bili for the polic partment is that it provides for the members of this de- partment when incapacitated by age or H service ut a rate to the salaries which are now recelving, based upon a action regarding the office pich is three-fourths of th ay, with the single € of the police department the pro- portion {s much lower, Referring to the fire department, Mr. Wight said the relative proportion of per in sions and salaries recsived is higher than for the police department, for the reason that the se s paid to the mem- bers of the Distric fire department is m lower than it should be, and the risk they run and the liability of being killed or dis- abled in the service is very much greater. “Any deficiency in the amount required to meet the monthly pay rolls of the pen- sioners of the police and fire departments is now made up from fines collected in the this Police source Court, varie: i the income from the number of as brought to the attention of the court ca n- creases or diminishes, und if the fines im- posed and collected ure the minimum the amount available for any deficiency might be insufficient to meet it. beg to express the hope,” said Mr. sht, in conclusion, “that this bill may t with the approval of your committee and be passed at this session of Cong as it will enable us, especially In conn tion with the police department, to retire a number of men who should be retired because of age and disability, thereby enabling us to have greater efficiency in the department by substituting in. their ‘es younger and more active men.” ———— Fire in Patterson's Woods. There was a fire in, Patterson's woods yesterday, which for a time threatened the sidences in the vicinity of Eckington. The police and firemen were on the scene scon after the 'S were discovered, ar they succecded in extirguishing them ve- re much damage was done. The fire confined to the woods, and several big trees were destroyed. It is thought the fire was started by mps or by sparks from a railre. >— Soctal Meeting of Confederate Veter- ans.

Reported Default in Payment of In- terest on Bonds. The Baltimore a1d Ohio has defaulted in the payments of the interest due this month on the bonds of the West Virginia and Pittsburg Railroad Company, one of the collateral properties of the Baltimore end Ohio, and for which it was guarantor as to interest. In the opinion of prominent bankers this is another illustration of the necessity of selling the Baltimore and Ohio company under foreclosure. The statements of the West Virginia and Pittsburg company have heretofore shown that the company was earning the interest on the $4,000,000 five per cent bonds. Also that the operat- ing expenses of the company were some- thing less than 50 per cent of the grd receipts, which is considered as a remarka- bly good showing. It is stated upon what appears to be good authority that the plan prepared by Messrs. Speyer & Company for the reor- ganization of the Baltimore and Ohio com- pany proposes to assess the common stock at $20 per share, for which assessment pre- ferred stock will be given. In reference to this a banker who is largely interested in Baltimore and Ohio matters said: “Of course any plan for the reorganiza- tion of the Baltimore and Ohio company is for the present only tentative. The most uncertain quantity is how the bonds controlled by Messrs. J. P. Morgan & Com- pany are to be treated. If they are to be undisturbed, all will be well; on the con- trary, if it is proposed to scale these, either in principal or interest, Morgan & Co pany will have something to say about Messrs. Morgan & Company have asked the holders of Parkersburg branch bonds to deposit them either with their New York or London house, and they state that the cbject in their doing so is for the protec- tion of the holier: The report is revived that a bid 1s shortly to be submitted to the board of public works of Maryiand for the purchase of the stock held by it in the Washington branch of the Baltimore and Ghio road. As here- tofore stated in The Star, the state of Maryland owns one-third of the stock of this road and the Baltimore and Ohio the other two-thirds. It is one of the few rail- roads in the United States which are ab- solutely free of mortgages. One of the leading lawyers of Maryland in a conversa- tion on this subject said that the enormous value of the property is shown by its past history. 1t has until the first of last May paid 10 per cent dividends and in addition to this it was stated on the authority of the experts who examined the Baltimore and Ohio books recently that when tHe company failed it admitted a debt to the Washington branch of about — $1,000,000, showing that the earning capacity of the property is far in excess even of the 10 yer cent dividends paid. : Pucis understood that there is a disposition on the part of the board of public works to dispose of all the state's holdings in rail- authority to sell roads, and that they hav ty to any or all ef the state’s securities in works of internal improvement. But before sell- ing they must advertise for sealed pro- pusals fcr at least sixty days. > AMUSEMEY CONSERVATORY OF MUSIC CON- CERT—The National Conservatory of Music gave its first concert at the Untver- salist Church last night, the event drawing an audience of generous proportions. ‘The affair was an entirely successful one, both in point of attendance and musical excel- lexce, and gave a promise of future event that should be delightful to the music lovers of the city. The church presented an attractive appearance, the platform be- ing tastefully decorated with American flags, palms and ferns, while smaller flags waved from vantage points all over the edifice. In the scheme of decoration the Cuban flag was not forgotten and added materially to the general effect. The pro- gram was excepifonally well selected and every number was enjoyable. All of the performers came in for a lavish share of applause, and it may be said that every number on the program earned the enthu- siastic evidences of appreciation that were bestowed upon it. Those who contributed mbers were Mr. Harry Wheaton How- ard, organist and pianist; Mr. Frank Ge- best, organist and pianist: Mrs. E, Z, Per- kins, soprano: Mr. Henry Jaeger, flue solo- ist; Mr. Melville Hensey, tenor; Mr. Walter F. Smith; Mr. Arthur Earnest; Messrs. Cullen and Collins, banjoists, and a quar- tet of players from the Marine Band. The accompanist of the evening was Mrs. L. K. Conwell, who performed the difficult duties of the task acceptably. > Oficial Orders Issued The following orders have been made by the District Commissione: That 260) feet of 15-inch sewer be bufit iu the north side of G street south2ast be- tween 5th and 6th streets; estimated cost $450; also that 200 feet of 12-inch sewer and 1S feet of 10-inch sewer be built in the west stle of 6th street_between E and G street: estimated cost, chargeable to replic- ing obstructed s2wers, That Sth street northeast between G a H streets be repaired by laying cobble ters and graveling, estimated cos chargeable to current r: avenu nd alley That sewer trap on the west side of 22d reet Just south of H str nortiiwest be constructed, estimatzd cost, $60, charge- to appropriation for H street i 1 and 24d streets northwest.

Walford’s store, No. 477 Pennsyl- vania avenue, and carried off plunder to the amount of about $600. Less than three months ago Mr. Walford’s store near the ccrner of 9th street on Pennsylvania ave- nue was robbed of about $800 worth of property. When the former theft was com- mitted Mr. Walford concluded he would wire both stores to protect himself from burglars, but neglected to do so. His sec- ond loss {s doubtless due to that omission. An investigation of the premises showed that the burglars had last night entered through the skylight over the workshop. The roof of the shop had been reached by climbing a telegraph pole in ithe alley. Once on the roof the burglars found no trouble getting into the store. There was no one on duty as watchman, and the burglars had all the time they wanted to get together the plunder. A physician's satchel in the store was stripped of its con- tents, and in this it is supposed the plun- der was carried away. - The list of stolen property furnished the Police included 108 gold rings, $100 worth of old gold and silver, $150 worth of as- sorted jewelry, 56 fountain pens, a Smith & Wesson revolver, 48 gold-filled Tings, a cash rej er and a number of rings and other articles of jewelry. eS CUPID'S VICTIMS.

It does seem a digicult task, yet becomes a comparatively easy one if the person afflicted will but use a little good Judgment and common sense. In the first place, every man and woman knows, or should know, that the air passages were made for air alone, and that nature bas so constructed these pessages that moisture f any kind eannot enter the bronchial tubes or lungs. This at once precludes all porsi- bility cf a cure of deep-seated diseases being ef- fected by treatment requiring the use of sprays. douches, atomizers or vapors. Secondly, all rezu- lar physicians admit that these d are purcl, Jocal ana must be treated locally, consequent! stomach medic.nes become useless in treating dis- eases of the air passages. The diseased parts must be reached through the alr we breathe or not rt all. Not only this, but a germicide must be used which will leave the air drs and yet have the Power to destroy the bacilli of disease in the m!- Butest air cells of the lungs, This decision reach- ed, then comes the question: Is there such a ger- miclde, which can be inhaled through the air you breathe? Thirty-eight hundred physicia three hundred thousand persons who have tested st say YES.
