The regular monthly meeting of the ‘orthsast Washington Citizens’ Association s held last night, at which a number of tters of importance to the section repre- sented were discussed. The railroad and hool questions claimed the attention of the association for a time, and th> order for the muzzling ef dogs was also consid- ered.

Lieut. Petty’s Account of the War With the Tagals — A Close Call. Two letters were lately received by Mr. J.T. Petty from his son, Lieut. J. Marshall Petty of the 86th Regiment, U. S. V., who is campaigning in the Philippines. Lieut. Petty was corporal in Company B, 1st Dis- trict of Columbia Regiment, and served in Cuba. He has had me interesting experi- ences while in the Philfppines. Extracts from his letters follow: “This ts the first opportunity I have had to write since I left Panique, over a month ago.

George Samuels, a watchman in the gen- eral post office, New York, formerly a prisonkeeper in that city, still keeps up a search that he began four years ago, when his son Sidney, sixteen years of age, dis. appeared. The boy ran away from home July 14, 1886, with a young companion. The other boy afterward came back, and said that Sidney and he went to Toronto, Can., where the latter obtained employment as coachman with a banker. Since that time Mr. Samuels has had no news of his boy, and says he would be very thankful to any person who could give him any information regarding his lost son.

Consul Albion W. Tourgee at Bourdeaux Informs the State Department of recent trouble about the sale of oleomargarine in France. In a recent trial before the civil tribunal of Bordeaux of persons charged with selling as butter an article composed of other fatty substances, the defendants were fined 200 francs each. This fine is considered light, this being rather in the nature of a test case. The law upon the subject has been in force about three years, but not until re- cently have active measures been taken for its enforcement. hig the consul believes to be prompted by-the fact of the trade in French butter with England being affected, or else because the Importation of oleo- margarine is becoming prejudicial to the home market. It Is suggested that American manufac- turers exporting to France would do well to label their products very clearly in French, giving the name of the product and the manufacturer, the place of manufac- ture and weight of package. The consul says the term “butterine” or any other En- glish word that would lead one to believe the article even in part butter should be avoided. NAPHTHA STREET LIGHTIN Mr. Dodge Addrenaes Inquiry to Dis- trict Commissioners. A letter was addressed ta the District Commissioners several days ago by Mr. W. C. Dodge, relative to naphtha lighting, in which he recommended that an early deci- sion be made as to whether the tanks and burners shall during the coming fiscal year be furnished by the contractor or by the District. Commissioner Wight, who has immediate superviston-of the street lighting department, agreed with the superintend- ent of the department that the company securing the contract for supplying naphtha lights should be required to furnish the burners and tanks, it being explained that the burners considered best for naphtha lamps cannot be purchased. Mr. Dodge has addressed another com- munication to the Commissioners -upon the subject, asking why it is they do not call for the best burner, and in fime to enable the successful bidder to obtain it. He thinks if it were the intention to so manage this matter of naphtha lighting that it shall be continued in the hands of the present out- side contractor, to the exclusion of the citi- of the District, it is difficult to see how it could be moge- effectually accom- plished than by adopting Mr. Wight's view. “It 1s obvious,” says:Mr. Dodge, “that the most economical burner for a given amount of light will enable the contractor to make @ lower bid, and why should not the Dis- trict have the benefit of this? Why should not the District haye the best burner and the most attainable light?” There are, Mr. Dodge believes, several matters In connection with naphtha light- ing for the District which would seem to require investigation, as, for instance, how it was and why the lamps and burners owned by the District were allowed to be dismantled by the company which former- ly had the contract, and the company al- lowed to substitute its own? Why is it not as desirable for the District to own the naphtha lamps as for it to own the gas lamps? Why the present contractor was permitted to use a burner which the super- intendent has stated and experience shows to be inferlor? Why, in e former year, the contract was awarded to. the highest bid- der on the ground that. the test showed his burner and the naphtha furnished to give an excess of Nght ver that of the lowest bidder, while, in Yast year’s award, when the tests shor g@umuch greater ex- — no consid mR was given to that ‘act! 1 “These,” says Mg, Dofige, “are all mat- ters in which mnd taxpayers are interested, and it swaul@ seem that they should receive t! ful consideration of the board” (of issione! ‘am Snell Case. ns ig the case of Ben- icte@-of the murder of Lizzie Weise: nberger, hag bee! igned Tustice Clabaugh th, Criminal Court No, bY THE ORDER HAD TO PAY DECISION REGARDING THE KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS. Dispute Over the Insurance of a De- ceased Member — Supreme Court Decisions. The opinion of the circuit court of ap- peals for the fifth circuit in the case of the Knights of Pythias against Josephine R. Withers was affirmed by the Supreme Court, opinion by Justice Brown, erday, afternoon: The action was originally begun in the circuit court of Hale county, Ala- bama, by Mrs. Withers to recover of the Knights of Pythias the amount of a policy of insurance up >n the life of her husband. The payment of the policy was resisted on the ground that the secretary of the section in which Withers resided had failed to make his return of premiums paid within the time required by the regulations of the board of control, located in Chicago. These regulations required that the full amount of dues of each section should b> paid by s due, failure to comply with which should work the forfeiture of the p: . Withers promptly paid his dues up to October 10, 1895, but the secretary of the order for his etion had failed to make his remittance until the 4th of November following. The board of control thereupon suspended the entire section, afterward restoring all the members who were still ving at the date of the receipt of the remittance.

In passing upon the case Justice Peckham, who handed down the opinion of the court, said: “There is no claim made that the statute violates the federal Constitution, and we are of opinion that such a claim would have no foundation, if made.” Not Twice Put in Jeopardy. Chief Justice Fuller delivered an opinion in the case of Clarence Murphy against the commonwealth of Massachusetts. Murphy was sentenced to from ten to fifteen years" imprisonment on the charge of embezzie- ment. After serving two years, he com- plained that the penalty w illegally im- posed because the crime was committed be- fore the law was enacted. This proving to be the case, he was given a sentence of twelve and a half years. He then demand- ed to be discharged on the ground that he had twice been put in jeopardy for one of- fense. The state courts held against him on this plea and that decision was upheld by yesterday’s opinion on the ground that the fact that there was double jeopardy Was due to Murphy's own act. Sunday Closing Law Valid. In the case of Petit against the state of Minnesota, from the supreme court of the state of Minnesota, the court held the Min- nesota Sunday closing law for barber shops to be valid. The court decided the controversy be- tween the Saranac Land and Timber Com- pany and the state of New York over the title to 7,500 acres of land in Franklin county, New York, in favor of the state. $+ + _____ Sycamore Island Fishing Club. The Sycamore Island Fishing Club has elected for the ensuing year the following officers: E. A. McIntire, president; B. Bar- ry, vice president; 8. Brooks, secretary; L. Hartig, treasurer, and J. Van Horn, cap- tain. - There are sixty-three members, business men of Washington, twenty of whom own two very romantic islands in the Potomac river near the present terminus of the Great Falls railroad. These islands com- prise about ten acres each and are reached by bridge and ferry, communication being had by wire with the mainiand. The club has a comfortable house, with modern con- veniences; a locker room for oars and fish- ing paraphernalia, and a dining room of sufficient capacity to seat 200 guests. Nearly every member has a boat for fish- ing, rowing or sailing, and during the spring, see and autumn the members, with their families and friends, can be seen on the lawn under the shade of. massive trees or in the boats at various nooks or tiffies or eddies between the feeder dam and the Great Falls. Some of the largest and finest specimen of black bass ever caught in the Potomac are credited to members of this club, most of whom are ardent disei- ples of Izaak Walton. —_-+—__ Changes Authorized.

Se PENSION INCREASED. at ‘Tuesday. the Senate on Former Foreman of Engine Company Gets $50 Per Month. James G. Willson, at one time foreman of No. 9 engine company of the District fire department, who was severely injured at the Knox fire about six years ago, was placed on the retired list about a year ag on a penston of $30 per month. Recently he applied for an increas? of pension, claim- ing that he has become wholly and per- manently disabled, and that the amount allowed him {s not sufficient to support him }and his wife and child. The board of sur- geons examined the man, reporting that his contention that h2 is wholly and perma- nently disabled is true. After investigation, Commissioner Wight, who has immediate supervision of the fire department, recommended that the pension be incr2ased to $50. Commissioner Beach coincided, and the pension was accordingly increased, Commissioner Ross voting for $40, In accordance with the recommenda- tion of the chief engineer, Mr. Joseph P. ris, to whom the matter was referred. Ex-Foreman Willson, in a@dition to be- ing severely injured in the Knox fire, nar- rowly escaped death in the big Louisiana avenue fire about five years ago, when s2v- eral members of the fire department were killed. —— Keeper of Disorderly House.
