SATIsFAOrORE TEST
Experiments with IA New Fire-Escape at tho
Riggs House.

The stregts in the vicinity OF the Riggs
! House were thronged with people yesterday
to witness somo very interesting experiments
with the National Permanent ire-cscapes, with
four Of which the hotel has recently been pro-
vided. The test WAS made at 4 o'cloelt, aud in
addition TO hundreds Of persons who invited
themselves, there was largo number of
| specially invited guests present, including the
| District Commissioners the Board of Fire
Commissioners, ChiofEngineer Cronin and
other officials. The apparatus was ope-
rated by the members of Truck B Company.
The escape is very simple in construction, be-
ing composed OF tackling blocks aud wire
| rope, so arranged that it does not dishguro tho
appearance of the building. Upon this tackle
| a largo basket of wire can be run from window
to window on amy floor Of the building aud TO
the ground in II very short time. The per-
iection attained by this invention in deliver
ing person from any window of n building
to the ground in u few seconds makes
1t the most efficient fro escape vet
produced. Tho basket will hold four or five
people, and in case of emergency persons can be
also lot down TO the ground by being
fastened to the ropes with belts The appa-
ratus works very rapidly. Tho experiments
yesterday were very interesting aud satisac-
tory A little child was taken from an upper
story and brought to the ground in the
basket very quickly, and other persons
were taken from different windows of
the building. The apparatus, in case of
fire, would serve double purpose, MS
men could be sent in the basket from tho
ground to any part of the building, when it
would be impracticablc to use ladders. Every
ono seemed delighted with the experiment,
and the gentlemen having charge of the ap.
paratus received many congratulations for
their success. number of orders have al
ready been received and escapes Of the same
pattern will soon be erected on other promi-
nent buildings iu the city. Tue National
Permanent fire escape was invented by Mr.
Frank +. Burrows, n member of the Metropoli-
tan police force of this city,

telegram VS.. Railroad.

The hearing in the case of the Atlantic and
Pacific Telegraph Company against the Balti.
moro & Ohio Railroad Company and American
Union Telegraph Company closed late yester.
day afternoon before Justice Hagnol in the
Equity court The petitioners fitted bill set.
ting forth their grievances, and asked that an
Injunction might be granted against the latter
to prevent them assuming control of certain
wires, the benefit of which, until recently, the
plaintiffs had enjoyed
Justice Hagner, in delivering his opinion,
said that he had no doubt but that the bill
resented showed equity in very strong terms.
The contract, it was claimed, showed incon-
sistency on its tace. 1t was evident that IL
was meant SO to be. The whole matter SGT
forth in the bill showed u contract, a reason.
ablo one and one the parties had the right to
make, but the petitioners said that tho re-
SpOndents had ruthlessy violatedit and they
CHE petitioncrs) were by Injunction seeking
to compel them to adhere to its terms, as they
were experiencing incalculable loss by this
rupture.
He thought the bill, standing with tho am.
davits, did show sufficient right for uu iniunc.
ton, and 1t might bo mandatory in its terms,
but an answer comes in and that is responsive
in every particular, and denies scriatim the
charges made in the bill Taken as a whole
OF specifically it makes a complete denial. One
Of the charges is that there is n confederation
pany and the American Union Telegraph Com
pany for the former to transfer the wires to
the latter. Both otthcse companies fatty deny
its truth, and further go on aud show what
the contract between them is. Next came the
plaintiffs ailidavits to bo considered and any
man in this world who wanted to find out
what the bargain between these contracting
parties (Atautic and Pacific Telegraph Com
pany and Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Com
pany) was would certainly go to those who
made the contract, aud not to outside parties.
He said that looking at all the statements, it
was impossible to say, after hearing the an
swer, that there was good cause for an iniunc.
tion, as the bill originally showed, aud he
could not say that the court would bo justified
in granting one.
He thought that the Baltimore & Ohio Rail-
road Company had held possession of the wires
all the time, and If they were using them with.
out franchise on right, they should be COM
PEELED to pay for enjoying the privilege. He
did not think it presented a case for an in.
junction. 1t was not irreparablo damages iu-
flictcd. The railroad company was solvent and
could he sued for it, This was not final hear.
ing. They could appeal. and whatever the re-
suit, justice would be done. Mr.. Ashley gave
notice of an appeal.

Starting tie nall Rolling.

Tomorrow afternoon at 1915 o'clock tho base.
ball season of 1850 will be inauguratcd on
the National grounds, corner Of Sixteenth and
streets northwest by game between the
Baltimore nine and the home club. Tho
grounds are nearly completed, and are ex.
pected to show considerable improvement
over the condition they were ia last year.
A new entrance is being constructed, but will
not be ready, in all probability, for use at this
game and the old ones will be utilized for this
occasion. Both mines are In pretty good trim
and while IL is not expected that the fielding
display will be up to the degree Of excellence
that practice later in the season will bring it,,
still it will go far beyond tho ordinary exhi-
btion aud give the spectators some idea of
the ability of the players.
The season tickets were put out yesterday,
and are beauties as to design and workmanship.
They can be obtained of Mr.. II. b. Bennett,
treasurer of the club; Mr. Michael B. Scan.
Ion, at Seaton Hall billiard room; Mr.. Robert
c, Hewitt, -four aud feed dealer, No. 1927
Seventh street northwest, and Mt Brad Adams
bookstore.
The admission to the grounds will be
twenty-five cents per head including ladies',
but with this price is included for the latter,
free admission to the grand stand. Should
they procure a season ticket, which allows
them all the privileges of the grounds, they
would find themselves ere the season closes
witnessing the games for less money than
they paid last year If 1t could have boon
avoided no change would have been made in
the prices of last year, but the club found
that for their own protection they must in-
crease the rates Of admission, and it was
done in a manner to make it felt as lightly
as possible. They believe that their friends
will take proper view Of the situation, and
lend them MS cordial q support this summer as
has been done in past seasons.
If the afternoon proves fine the Nationals
may expect II fine audience to witness the
debut of the two mines.

tion of the pupils in tho several studies was

no impression of merely answering questions
assigned to be answered by certain pupils

a success, aud the officers present were un-
stinted in praise of the teachers and pupils.
