PLAYED WITH ELECTRICITY.
A Pittsburg Boy Severely Injured by
Two Playmates.

Three boys were before Mayor wyman of
Allegheny yesterday on charges Of assault and
battery. Their counsel urged their release ON
the ground that their ofIense was the natural
result of the discovery of the power Of cleo
tricity. The mayor was SO puzzled as to his
duty that he reserved his decision until Mon
day to think the matter over.
VIM. Crozier, son of the superintendent Of
the Pleasant Valley electric railway line,
Chas. White and VIM. Wider were the defend
ants. CroZier is about fifteen and his COM
panioHs twelve and thirteen years of age. They
were sued by /. H.. McFeeters for assault and
battery on his eight-year-old son John.
Crozier had a spool of thin copper wire. with
which he and las companions were amusing
themselves in Brighton place. They threw
the spool over the trolly wire of the electric
road and each took one shock. Ii was stronger
than they had thought. aud all except Crozier
were knocked down. About that time little
Johnny McFeeters made his appearance. The
three young imitators of Benjamin Franklin
spotted Johnny as a victim. They invited MIN
to take hold of the wire and hear a little bird
sing. He did not like birds and said SO.
The larger boys threw the wire on him, and
IN has efforts TO escape the wire became tan
gled about both his hands. The shock was
very severe and knocked him down: his hands
were burned and for several minutes he was
unable to rise and the experimenters thought
he was done for.

The Building Regulations.

To the Editor OF THE EVENING STAR;
l second most heartily the suggestions of the
Architect and Building News recently copied in
The STAR as to the Importance and necessity
of having the building regulations fixed by law.
There never was a more absurd practice than
that which now prevails, by which the Com
missioners nominally. but the inspector of
buildings practically, makes and changes these
regulations at will and. as | think, in some
cases without reason. / have myself had to
change the plans for buildings after they had
been completed in accordance with the regula-
tions as they existed at the time, simply be-
cause within a few DAYS before the permit was
applied for the regulations were arbitrarily
changed. What ought to be done is to have "A
commission of architects and builders an
pointed, who should take up the entire sub
iect, settle on what would be best and right.
looking to the interests of property owners and
the beauty of the city. and prepare an entirely
new and complete set of rules. which should
then be embodied in a law by Congress. SO that
they would be settled and fixed and so that
people would know what to depend upon.
The present regulations, | find. are capable of
different constructions also. and il is but
natural under our irresponsible system of gov
eminent that influence should have more or
less to do with the construction put upon them
in different cases. There should be no posi-
bility of such a state of affairs and the plan
suggested would provide a complete remedy.
/ suggest that this is a matter that ought to be
taken hold of by the architects society and the
commissioners. PROPERTY OWNER.

MRS. LIPPINCoTT FOUND.
The New Jersey Forger Writes From
Her Sisters i'm Baltimore.

Mrs. Julia c. Lippincott, the clever New
Jersey forger and Napoleonic fnancier, who
has been a fugitive from justice since last
February, is living with her sister, Mira
Margaret Long, in the suburbs of Baltimore.
Since her residence there she has written
three letters to her husband a. her old home
in Medford, NJ. Her husband is still living
with her sister at Medford, and the fact that
these two have been the heaviest sufferers by
her forgeries makes the requests in her letters
rather impertinent. In these letters she makes
the request that her rings and other small
articles of value be sent her at her Baltimore
hasty departure from Medford several months
ago. Her three letters remain unanswered.
In these letters she also made q modest request
for remittance of money with which TO pay her
rent in Baltimore.
After receiving no answer 10 her three let
tiers to her husband she wrote another letter to
a relative, in which she bitterly reproached
the family for paying no attention 10 her COM
munications. 1t is said that her husband 10
seriously i'll, and that fact was the incentive
for her TO open correspondence with Mr.. Lip
plncott. The letters sent 70 her husband bore
the instructions to direct the replies 10 -. P-"

After the disappearance OF Mrs. Lippincott .
warrant was sworn out for her arrest on the
charge Of forgery by Freedom q. Lippincott Of

her for months, but have never succeeded -
locating her.

THE GOOD TEMPLARS.
Many Matters Considered at the Session
of the Grand Lodge.

The Grand Lodge of Good Templars held its
semi-annual session at Good Templars' Hall
Wednesday evening, with an attendance very
much larger than usual. The amount of bust
ness transacted was unprecedentedly large and
the meeting in all respects was the most sue
cessful held for years. Mr.. Tugwell, grand
chancellor of the Grand Lodge of Ontario, was
a visitor. Mr.. A. Kalstrom. the grand chief
templar, presided. The Grand Lodge degree
was conferred upon twelve ladies and gentle
men. The report of the grand chief templar
referred to the existing need in the order for a
uniform system of s~uspending for non-payment
of dues; to the systematic circulation of temper
ance literature; the establishment of a central
library and reading room; the progress of Iegis-
lation in favor of an inebriates' home aud
hospital; the proposed legislation by Congress
in amending existing license laws; to the
courtesy of the press in noticing the work of
the order
The report of the grand secretary showed
the numerical strength of the order to be con-
stantly increasing, the financial condition i'm
proved. and the several lodges in healthy and
prosperous circumstances. The secretary also
submitted n form for q comprehensive report
OF subordinate lodges. The superintendent
OF juvenile temples showed the work among
the children to be progressing satisfactorily.
Ihe grand chief was authorized to appoint a
to submit a plan for. the celebration
OF the twenty-fifth anniversary of the order in
this District. Ihe committee on tent meetings
reported everything in readiness to
the work of the season in the new tent Just
bought, and with the enlarged powers OF the
committee they feel that greater success will
attend the work than last year. Provision was
also made for continuance of the meetings of
a public character, heretofore conducted under
the direction of the Grand Lodge. The re-
Gently adopted system of union meetings was
heartily Endorsed. Messrs. J. X. Mahoney, C..
\. whitney. III. b. Moulton and DIR. Bond were
designated to represent this District in the
temperance congress to be held the llth and
18th Instants at New York.
The interest the Good Templars manifest
IN the system of union meetings now in prog
ress was demonstrated last evening when the
northern district held it's meeting with Morn
