tanning the bodies OF distant relatives and i'm

How to Get Cheap Light.


THE SENATE SUBCOMMITTEE FAVOR GOVERN
MENT OWNERSHIP OF THE GAS WORKS.
Senators SpoOner and Blackburn, sub District
committee on the price OF gas, will probably
begin the preparation of their report this week.
They have heard enough to satisfy them that
the people of Washington have been imposed
upon and they are very decidedly Of the opin-
ion that relief should be afforded. They are
earnest and diliseht in their work. They want
to do justice by Che public and the gas interests
both.
The project of remedying the evil by opening
competition through chartering another
company does not seem to meet with any
favor. In the first place. there is a most decided
unwillingness TO have the streets torn up, ana
in the second place, it is asserted that compe-
tition does not assure relief, as in most
instances where new companies have been
chartered they have combined after beginning
operations with the old companies, to keep up
the price of gas. The plan OF having the govern
ment purchase the entire gas works of the
District and supply gas as water is now supplied,
seems to meet with most favor, provided the
purchase can be made at reasonable figures.

q very handsome dog-fOr a poodle. He is jet

ton of his wooly head, the tip of his tail and

Superintendent Davis.

THE REPORT AS TO HIS IMPENDING DISMISSAL.
It is reported that Mr.. Davis, superintendent
of the ordnance department OF the Washington
navy yard is to be dismissed, and that he will
be succeeded by Lawrence Cosgrove, of Balti-
more. The reason assigned is that Mr.. Davis
has become unpopular with the democratic
employees, particularly for suspending two EN-
ployes named Burton and Beaumont the other
day tor having conversed with a visitor, when
there was no rule of that kind to be enforced.
Nothing is known at the Navy department
regarding the dismissal of superintendent
Davis, but 1t is stated at the ordnance bureau
that he is not vested with authority TO dismiss
or suspend employees. Capt. Mccormick is
responsible for the suspension OF the men re-
ferred to, and he is recognized dyed in the
wool democrat. There always has been rule at
the yard which forbids leaving work or con-
versing with visitors, In order to prevent inter-
sion Of empioyes for Violating it would. Il is
said, be an admonitory punishment, which
could not he criticised in view Of the fact that
the authorities might cause dismissal instead
If they were desirous OF that object.

the shore there was no way to reach them. and
there was no way for them to escape. After
ward, two Of his little boys were rescued alive
clinging to debris down the creek.
The scene at the Mayors Office this morning is
beyond all description, for there were conveyed
the bodies of the dead. The undertakers' and
other kindly hands were engaged in dressing
the dead and arranging them in families-for
here were whole families who had found stimuli
taneous death.
The family Of Orrin Morris-father. mother
and five children-were dressed and laid side
by side-one OF the most touching sights ever
witnessed.
The destruction of property was heavy. Cor
rect figures wanting. but it is safe to say
that to the city and its cRens it will reach $75,
900. while the railroads will suffer as much more.
Three bridges between here and Spring Valley,
on the Little Miami, are out, and as much as
five miles of track gone. The first section of the
night express from Cincinnati reached Xenia
ahead. but the next section got
caught between bridges, and there it lies.
a large amount of track below the valley is ont,
and the loss will be $50, 900 or more. The Day
ton & Ironton railroad, between here and Tre-
bein's, is washed out badly, and the Little Miami
track is in the same condition all the way to
Dayton. 1t is impossible to gather the full ex-
tent Of the damage, but 1t will take days and
probably weeks to repair it. This state of affairs
exists on all pixies east and west of Xenia.

south Of this place, Jacob Schuck's residence was
demolished and two persons badly injured.
Peter Singer had half his house blown away, but
no one was hurt The storm took a westerly
course, and laid low trees, houses, barns, etc.,
but did not hurt anyone till it came to the resi-
dence of Lew Deal Here 1t seemed to swoop
down. Not piece of Mr.. Deals house is left.
Mr.. Deal and his wife are badly hurt, and his
sister-in-law, who was staying with him,
is so badly injured that she is not
expected to live. Two of his horses and several
cattle were killed. Both the Wabash and Lake
Erie roads are strewn with trees, but men are
clearing the debris away. All telegraph and
telephone communication are cut off from this
city in consequence of the storm. A citizens
meeting was called to-day for the purpose of
raising aid for the storm sufferers. A consider
able amount was raised
Reports are still coming in relative to the de-
struction by the storm. In the extreme west
end of the county several persons were hurt so
badly by falling timber that they will die. The
estimated damage to buildings and stock in this
county is $4,000. It is quite probable that that
amount will not cover it.
