RsghtIng Wrong Done UnInfentiOn-
ally ta an Honest Girl.
Yesterday afternoon, during visit to
the Eighth ward of the city, a RSGIsTER
reported was accosted by an urchin, who
stated that lady wanted to see him on
important business and for him to wait
at the hose house for the lady. The scribe
had not long to wait. A lady who intro
duced herself as Mrs. Anderson approached
him and asked if he would publish the
following card. Upon being informed that
the card would be published, the lady
gave an explStion of the reason for pIb
fishing it, which will be found below:
To the Editor Of the Register.
February q. 81
Please publish the following statement:
recall the talk which has been in circu
lation 10 the effect that the girl that left
my house was living in house of prosti
tuition. The girl is living with respectable
people on the South side.
Respectfully,
MIS-. ANDERSON.
The lady said The girl, Lenora Thorn
linson, has been living with me three
wears, and her father made me promise
TO write to him whenever she left my
house. A short time ago the girl left ana
wrote to her father OF her departure, and
told him / did not know what kind Of a
house she had gone to. In some manner
the story about the girl living in house
of i'll fame had been circulated, and the
girl and her father want me to recall the
talk. That is the reason ! wish that card
published"
From other sources the scribe ascer
sized that the girls father, who resides at
MCurdSville, on receipt Of the letter from
Mrs. Anderson fastened to this city aud
called IN Mrs. A., but she being unable to
STATE the girls whereabouts, Mr.. Thomlin-

in this city in which lewd women stayed.
but fsilsd to fEd the girl. Tuesday the
girl Was found living SIS domestic in one
OF the most respectable families in the
Sixth ward and nothing derogstory to her
character has ever been spoken. Persons
knowing the girl speak very highly OF her
and are surprised that the scandal mongers
had the hsrdihood to circulate the story
about her residence in any but a respscta.

THE ELECTRIC-LIGHT QUESTION.
what Commissioner West says
AbOuf II.

A CRITIC reporter ascertained this morn
ing that the project Of illuminating the
city by electric light is at last likely TO BIO
promptly carried out.
The reporter applied to District Commits
sioner West for information on tho subject.
For the first time in tho history Of the
District" replied tho Commissioner, tho
appropriation bill allows the Commission
ers full discretion in tho selection Of flu
minatiDg methods and materials. Hereto
fore such discretion has been allowed pro-
vided the gas company refused to supply
gas at 500 per lamp per annum.' This time
there is no such restriction, and the Com
missioners Immediately, upon the passage
of tho bill, began to look around for some
method of escaping the present moonlight
schedule-no light on moonlight night sys-
tem-and TO improve upon tho system OF
illumination by lamps that cannot pepe-
trate the darkness of surrounded foliage.
or course our attention was at once turned
to tho electric light, and we received o
proposition from the Brush-Swan Electric
Light Company to tho effect that they
would supply good, strong light,
Illuminating Street and Sidewalk
All Night, Every Night in the
Year,
provided that the District pay them $22
per annum for every street-lamp rendered
unnecessary and dispensed with on account
of the electric illumination. This seemed
to be very good proposition IL wo became
satisfied as to the character Of the light, and
we asked the company to mako some ex-
periments. They have been making them
from the Capitol, lighting up Pennsylvania,
Maryland, New Jersey and Delaware ave-
nues for several squares in each direction.
We condemned the light at first as too glar-
ing and trying to the eyes, but last night it
was tried with gronnd-glass shades, and wo
were well pleased with tho effect. Further
tests will be made, and everything de-
Ponds upon the success of tho company in
producing steady, satisfactory light, not
too trying on the eyes and
Producing Better Effect Than the
Gas-Lamps.
1--WE are satisfied that by establishing
the lights at Lincoln Park, tho Capitol, the
Treasury, two intermediate points, the
Presidents grounds and Washington Cir
Gle we could illuminate the Avenue
throughout its entire length and many of
tho radiating thoroughfares in splendid
style. Then additional lights ut Stanton
Place would complete the illumination of
the principal portion of East Washington,
Wnlle Hgnts In tho vicinity OF the City Hall
will light that park and neighborhood aud
Louisiana and Indiana avenues. Lights at
Mount Vernon Place would brighten up
all that section and shine along the ave-
MUGS, and lights at Thomas, Scott, Iowa and
Du Pont circles would lend brilliancy to all
the radiating and intersecting streets.
These thirteen electric light stations would
take the place Of over two thousand street.
lamps, and would combine to form a sys.
TEN of illumination that would give the
city beautiful appearance at night"

Cut Short by Prosecutor Thomas,
who Alleges that Lawyer Moss De.
ceived Him.
The Police Court was afflicted this morn
ing again with another chapter of the war
in Uniontown over the situation of a party
fence, and several collateral issues growing
out Of the same, on which the family OF
Mr.. Frederick Douglass Is arrayed on one
side and that of Lawyer John A. Moss, also
colored resident of Uniontown, on the
other
This time the charge was that of tres
pass against Il. M. Hewlett, son.in-law OF
Mr.. Douglass, and member of the bar.
Mr.. Thomas, the prosecuting attorney
said he would cut the proceedings short by
entering nolle ptosequi in the case. He
also said the case never would have been
brought before the court If Mr. Moss had
not made q Misrepresentation of the facts
to him. He said he referred Mr.. Moss to
Mr.. Coyle to get his opinion rs TO whether
any warrant should issue in the case, and
Moss came back and reported that Mr.
Coyle decided that the case should be
brought to trial. This turns out to be I'M
true, as Mr.. Coyle never said anything of the
kind.
Mr.. Moss said this statement was not
true, as he never told Mr.. Thomas what he
alleged.
The Court hero cut tho coloquy short,
when lively scene was imminent.
Mr.. Moss states that he has three car
penters employed erecting the fence that
the Douglasses cut down for him, and they
say that they are going to cut 1t down as
soon as he gets 1t up, and he has no redress
because the criminal courts refuse to pun.
ish the offenders, and he can get no satisfac-
ton in the civil courts because the parties
have no property.
