saint GoGffe in Paris, after testimony had been
introduced relative 10 the position OF Gouffes

deputed 20 examine into the mental condition
OF Mile. Bompard, expressed the conviction
that she was perfectly responsible for her nc

household, deposed that he had hypnotized
Gabrielle and that he believed il possible that
she had been brought in a similar way under
the influence of Eyraud.

Bompard's counsel declared that DR. Noisin had
important condolences given him by the pris-
oner and that the court must remove the seal

matter ought to be dropped. This decision
brought out loud protests from the audience

Falls Church Electric Light Plant.

A number of prominent citizens Of Falls
Church and residents of this District inter-
ested in property there met at the residence of
Mr.. Fulton r. Gordon, at Falls Church, last
evening to determine on a plan for the estab-
lishment Of an electric light plant for that
place. Mr.. Edwin A. Greenongh was elected
temporary chairman and Mr.. Fulton r. Cor
don temporary secretary. Mr.. Greenough ex-
planned the object of the meeting and intro
duced Mr.. l.. d. Bliss and Mr.. Maurice Thomas,
who represented the Edison General Electric
Company Of New York. Mr.. Bliss addressed
the meeting, saying they proposed organizing
corporation to establish an electric light
plant of sufficient size to light the principal
streets of Falls Church and supply all citizens
who desire it with electric lights. Mr.. C. NJ.
MACEDONIAN, spoke in favor of the project.
The following officers were then elected: Mr..
Edwin A. Greenough, president; Mr.. NJ. G.
MacGowan vice president; DIR. Fulton r. Cor
don, secretary and general manager; Mr.. Jas.
A. Petty, treasurer. and G. A. l.. Merrifeld, in

DIR. BAXTER's SUCCESSOR.
The Papers of the Candidates for Surgeon
General Now With the President.

General NOW with the PRESIDENT.
The race for the position of surgeon general
of the army, to succeed the late DIR. Baxter, has
practically come to close, as the papers in the
case have been taken by Secretary Proctor to
the President and the matter now lies with him.
There has been quite a contest for the place
among some of the older colonies of the medi-
cal corps of the army, most of the work being
of a quiet, under-the-surface order that has
made comparatively little noise. The choice
it Is thought, will fall upon one Of the older
surgeOns-probably DR.. Sunderland, who ut
present leads the list of the corps Other can
didates have appeared and some little bitterness
has been developed in the strife. 1t is said that
the Secretary would prefer some of the
younger men, notably DR.. Greenleaf, who has
for some years been practically the head of
the bureau in his capacity Of assistant to the
chief doing most OF the administrative work
and accomplishing many valuable reforms lie
is too far down OH the list. however, to be Sc
lected at this time without creating great deal
of prejudice and ill-feeling. It is also ru-
mored that il the thing were ut all possible with
out creating too much of storm the plum
would be given to DIR. Ainsworth, tine present
head Of the record and pension branch. whose
record i'll clearing up the files Of the War De-
partment has gained for him the favor Of the
military powers. He is but captain, however.

Married Men Charged With vagrancy.

Married Men Charged With Vagrancy.
Twoneatly dressed white men answering to the
names of William Robertson and Harry Sears
were arraigned before Judge Miller this morn
ing charged with being Migrants. Policeman
Sam Nelson appeared as prosecuting witness
and began his statement by saying that both
defendants were married men, but that they
are constantly in the Division among the
loose women who reside in that locality. The
men, the officer said. write policy. and Robert
sons wife was in that part of the city recently
trying to get her husband to return home.
''She told me-" said the officer, ''that her hus-
band only comes home when he wants to
change his shirt
Robertson, when questioned by the court,
said he lived in Georgetown, and that his father
has means to support him. He admitted that
he had written policy.
Sears said that he lived near 18th and E
streets, and that it was necessary for him to go
through the division" to get home. ~ earn
my living in that part of the CITY," he said. In
addition to spending their time there the officer
accused them Of being victims of the liquor
habit.
Mollie McDougal, colored girl. was charged
with vagrancy, and the officer said that she was
the downfall Of Robertson.
The court thought that the officer had placed
the shoe on the wrong foot. The men gave
bonds and were released and the woman was
released on her personal bonds.
