hope you will continue to Keep before the
public the shortcomings of this gas monopoly.
can, in my own experience, corroborate
much that your correspondents complain of.
In Fridays REPUBLICAN Reform says
that with two more hours Of daylight to re-
duce the consumption that much every night,
the charge is as large rs II was for the months
Of December and January" Now, sir, my
bill is greater than for the months Of Decem-
Der and January. Last October and Novem-
ber the gas in the house occupy emitted so
much smoke and was SO malodorous as to
make my wife, baby and myself sick. In
deed, one night we were obliged to turn the
gas completely out and 60 to bed. In conse-
quence of the bad gas ! purchased three
lamps and laid in quantity of Danforths
fluid and burned that during the month Of De-
cember. ! was thinking should have very
small gas bill. Judge Of my astonishment
when the largest bill had ever received, up
to that time, was presented. 1t was nearly
double tho amount for November, when
did not use lamps. / mado complaint at the
office, and they took out the meter and said
that, after examination 1t was wrong-that
It measured 3 per cent. too little and they
put in meter that measured per cent. more.
That is all the satisfaction l could get out
of this cheating monopoly. This statement
can be verified by several witnesses Yours,

MIR. Bliss Calls Attention TO n Few Curious
Things the Defense i'm tho Star Route
Cases Failed 20 DO.
When then the star route trial was resumed
yesterday Mr.. Bliss continued his address TO
the jury. in reply to an interruption by Mr..
Wilson he said that he would mako any cor.
rection cheerfully IL he was assured that the
defense would not argue in their own behalf,
but Mr.. Wilson did not respond and the argu-
ment proceeded. Mr.. Bliss declared that the
official records showed that within three
months after the date upon which s. w. Dorsey
came into possession of his twelve routes, ten
of them had been increased or expedited, and
most of the orders had been made while
Dorsey was in this city. And no one knew how
far the thing would have gone If anew admin
istration had not como in, and tho two
honest men-MacVeagh and James-stepped
to the front. Yet with incompatible
impudence Dorsey had patched up Rordell's
affidavit addressed it to the President, and
had attempted to defame the memory of Gar
field by asserting that upon that affidavit Gar
field would have removed two of his cabinet.
Mr.. Bliss was speaking Of the u. B. b.
check when Mr.. Wilson asked II that had
anything to do with the mail business.
Mr.. Bliss replied that he did not know
and the defense should have produced the
books TO contradict Rerdell upon that point.
If Dorsey had c. Gated his partners by charg-
ing that check to them IL did not concern the
prosecution, the important fact was that
Rerdell had been corroborated in his state
ment.
Mr. Bliss next made vigorous attack upon
tho expert evidence concerning the hand
writing of the various papers, and many con
tradictions and inaccuracies were exposed
Dorsey was ironically congratulated upon hi
recovery from the eye trouble that had pre-
vented him from swearing to his own hand
writing.
During his argument Mr.. Bliss frequently
taunted the defense with their failure to cal
Bosler in contradiction Of Rerdell. Bosler
he said, was one of the confederates (not {
conspirator); had carried on the mail business
and had settled with Dorsey in Novembe
last. He knew all about the business, ant
could throw light upon many points, and the.
(the defense) were afraid to call him.
Mr.. Bliss stated that he would conclude his
address to-day, and the court adjourned.

The Commissioners Ignore the Protest OF
the Residents OF E Street.-The wheel
smashers VIII Bo Laid.
When the Belt Line Street Railway com
pany began tearing up e street from Elev-
enth to Ninth streets, the residents along the
squares learned that the company intended
laying the I rails. They Immediately drew
up protest against the use OF such rails, and
a delegation, headed by DIR. James e. Morgan,
waited upon the district commissioners ana
handed II to them. Last week the commits
sioners addressed tho following communlca-
ton to DR.. Morgan:
OFFICE OF THE COMMISSIONERS, DISTRICT OF Co
IUMBrA-DR. J. II. MORGAN, STR Referring to the
protest Of yourself and others against the use oi
Eleventh northwest, by the Capitol, North Street
and south Washington Railway company, am
quite general use for street railways as substi
tute for the fat rail- on account OF the diculty OF
maintaining tracks Of the latter In good repair.
For this reason, and believing that the T rail,
properly laid, offers no obstruction TO travel ma
terially greater than the fiat one, the commits
hold their assent 10 the use of such rails on L
W. TINDALI, Secretary.
A REPUBLICAN reporter last night called
upon DIR. Morgan at his residence on Estreet
TO ascertain his opinion about the commits
car track" said DR.. Morgan, will have the
effect of stopping travel along this street. 1t
is an outrage that such rails are permitted to
be used but we have no redress. If the street
was wider, the difficulty would not be so
great. The board Of public works widened
the sidewalks on this street five feet, reducing
the carriage way to forty feet. The car
tracks will occupy sixteen feet leaving only
twelve feet on each side for the passage OF
wagons and carriages, as the use of the L rail
virtually barricades the center of the street
against travel. There will be constant dam
age done to vehicles of all kinds, because in
passing one will be compelled to turn off on
the track and run the risk of having wheel
taken off or an axle broken by the
projecting iron rail. II is pity
continued Dr. Morgan, that some citizens oi
Washington had not been appointed as com
missioners. The present officers are strangers
who know nothing of the needs of the city oil
its people. They don't know the representa-
tive men. They cannot tell when delega
tion calling upon them are composed OF tax
payers and business men, or men without
standing. / am veiy sorry that we cannot b'
governed by men who have something IL
common with u.s. no matter what their poll
tics might be-"
Mr.. Walter A. Drew, the druggist, and I
resident of Il street, characterized the com
missioners' action as an outrage, and severa
other residents held similar opinions. 1t i
not probable that any measures can be taker
to prevent the street railway companies from
laying wheel-smashing 7 rails wherever the.
wish.
