A Pro IN BAa-An old colored man came
to market the other day and bought pig. He
put it in bag and started for his home across
the river. Reaching the store at the cross
roads he deposited his burden near the door
and went inside to get warm. While he was
there some young men took the pig out of the
bag and put dog in its place. When the old
man went out the bag was moving at lively
rate and he thought the pig had n fit. Upon
examination he found the dog. Gracious me-"
he shouted, "if de pig amt done turned into a
dogw He returned to the store to discuss the
miracle. Meanwhile the pig was returned to
the bag, apd when the old man went out again
he found il there. "Fo God il dat amt de

Permits to Carry Pistols,

Judge Miller has under advisement prop o.
sition to add to the proposed law against carry
ing concealed weapons clause to give permits
sion to certain persons to carry pistols. 1t is
not the intention of the judge to adopt rule
whereby the general public can avail them
selves Of the privilege of the proposed
clause, but it is intended for persons
whose honest and legitimate occupations
carry them to dangerous localities at
an unusual hour of the night. The question
which now puzzles the judge is how to reach a
sensible conclusion and adopt the proper mode
of issuing such permits. The proposed rule is
designed to apply to newspaper reporters and
others who are required to be out all hours of
the night in pursuance of their duties.
1t has been suggested that the proposed per-
init system be made applicable to persons
whose lives have been threatened in order that
they may be ready to defend themselves, but,
if this is acceded to, the police desire that such
permits be issued only on application in open
court.

Does Not Apply to Merchants

Judge Cox rendered decision yesterday in
the case of A. S. Bryan, grocer, whose prop
erty had been sold under an assignment and
who applied to the trustees for $500 for ex-
emption on account of stock for carrying on
the business of the debtor" and a like sum as
exempt on account of mechanics tools and
implements of the debtors trade or business ~
Judge Cox held that the additional claim for
600 made by Mr.. Bryan for tools and imple-
ments of the debtors trade or business could
not be sustained. The construction of the law
was that it was intended for the protection of
mechanics, artisans and handicraftsmen and
others whose manual labor and skill afforded
the means of earning their livelihood and did
not apply to those engaged in buying and sell
ing merchandise as grocers, shop keepers and
the like

Egress From Burning Buildings.

During the latter part of December The STAR
referred editorially to the urgent need of the
invention of better modes of egress from burn
ing buildings in view of the horrible loss of life
of late. Washington man, Mr.. Peter NJ.
Brown, has now come to the front with a de-
vice intended to accomplish this object His
invention is a ire-proof stairway built within
solid brick inclosing walls adjacent to the front
OF the building, opening upon tine various floors
through fire-proof doors. In order to prevent
people in panic from leaping over the rails a
center wall extends from top to bottom. All
doors are to be sprlnged 30 that there can be
no draughts. By an ingenious system of slip
joints the walls adjoining the staircase might
fall and leave the stairway standing

A New Steam Railroad.

To the Editor of The EVENING STAR:
From the Congressional Record it appears
that on the 10th instant Senator Wilson Of
Maryland introduced Senate bill No. 21O1, to
incorporate the Columbia Central railway com.
pany, which was read twice by its title and re-
ferred to the committee on the District of Co.
lumbia. This bill seems to contemplate the
location Of a steam railroad entering the
southeast corner of the District of Columbia
and thence running westerly through the Dis
trict to the East bank of the Anacostia river. ("
thence across said river to the intersection Of
+ and 18th streets northeast in the city of
Washington, thence westerly through street
northeast to Maryland avenue, thence through
Maryland avenue northeast to Stanton Place.
or the eight corporators named in the bill
know nothing, not even of their residence but
i think they are not residents Of this District.
The contemplated purpose or management or
ownership of this road is not apparent and
where "the southeast corner of the District
can be found is also an unsolved problem. But
the matter is worthy of public consideration.

The Alexandria authorities have been ex-

rid that city of tramps, and only day before
yesterday twelve were arrested. In that city
they don't propose to feed loafers at the city s
expense, and in order to get rid Of them they
put them on one of the ferry boats and send
them to this city. Yesterday Policeman Ken
dali saw on Pennsylvania avenue near 9th
street ten of these men who had been banished
from Alexandria, and he started toward them
They ran, but the officer caught four Of them
and took them to the station. They registered
as James Howard. William Conley, John Nc
Nally and Thomas Hickey. This morning when
they appeared before Judge Miller they were
extremely anxious to be given chance to leave
the city. One said he was from Chicago, an
other from st. Louis, while still another
claimed to be from New York. The fourth one
hesitated for a moment and then gave Alexan-
dria as his home.
Judge Miller thought that they constituted
committee on the worlds fair site and were
forming a combine against this city, but he
didn't say so. While, he said, the Alexan-
dria mode of dealing with such persons was
good one he thought surprise party in the
nature of a little work would not hurt them,
