GEORGETOWN IN THE DARK.
Capt. Rossen Substitutes on Lamps
for the Cnlighted Gss Lamps.

The lighting department Of the District has
recently had considerable trouble with the
lighting Of Georgetown, and there are on file
at the District building q score or more Of
complaints Of the inadequate lighting Of that
section Of the city.
Capt Resell, who has temporary charge Of
the lighting department during the absence Of
Capt. Lusk. today called the attention OF the
Commissioners to the facts in the case, and
stated that the Georgetown Gas Light Com
psny had failed TO properly execute their con-
tract for the delivery Of gas during the month
OF July. During August, the captain says.
more than half the time the lights have failed,
and also in helength OF time they should burn.
and for two nights there has been no light Of
all on almost all the streets. In view OF the
fact that the gas company notified the office
that they would be unable TO light Georceto wn
last night Capt. Rossell ordered the superin-
tendent OF lamps to have oil lamps put up ne
FAR as possible. Under this order fifteen lamps
were put up last night Capt Rossel recon-
mends that the Commissioners order that oil
lamps be put up at corners OF the streets in
the most travelled part OF the town This he
says. will be no additional expense 10 the Dis
trict because the cost OF the gas lamps under
contract last year and the proposed contract
Tor this year. which has not yet been signed by
the company. is $50 per annum and for OIL
lamps Sl9. so per snnum.
The whole trouble seems to grow out OF the
gas company rearranging their plant

Sergeant and Powderly Arc Of One
Mind on the Strike.

TERRE HACTE. IND, August 23.-''With what
opinion do you return from New York concern
ing the merits Of the strikers?" asked re-
porter Of F. P. Sargent, president of the
council and grand master Brotherhood Of Lo-
connective Firemen.
II can say that so far as the actions Of Mr.
Povderly are concerned during this whole
matter most heartily indorse them" said
Chief Sargent with decided emphasis. IL am
convinced that Mr.. Powderly did not invite
this condition Of affairs and that he did his
best to avoid it. l never met Mr.. Powderly
personally gill last Monday, and can say that
believe that he is an honest and fair minded
man, who has the interests Of the laboring
masses at heart"
This is q fight on the part Of the knights of
Labor for recognition from the Central officials.
is it not, and sympathetic movement on the
part of the federation?"
Mr.. Webb took the stand in the interview
with Mr. Powderly that the officials of the Cen
trail road were responsible alone to themselves
for the removals made on their line and
declined to be questioned by the labor officials
regarding them. Now ] had no quarrel with
Mr.. Webb, and had no occasion to seek per-
sonal interview with him went to New York
at the solicitation of Mr.. Powderly. Mr.. Webb
sent an invitation to Grand Master Sweeney
and myself to call on him. and we did SO.
put the question to Mr.. Webb in this way:
Suppose said ], that one of your fremen
who il a member Of an organization was dis
charged by your master of transportation, and
that it came to me on an appeal from one of
our local branches; suppose came here to New
York to see you, would you allow ME to ques-
ton you concerning it2"
Here Mr.. Sargent paused and the correspond
ent said: What was Mr.. Webbs answer"
He eyaded nv question and / did not get
positive answer from him. But / gained an
Opinion. and q very positive one at that and
was that the fremeD would be treated just

SENATE ORDER soF BUSINESS.
Position OF the Democrats Stated by
Mr.. Gorman-The Vote on the Senate
RiIl. ~

Senator German. chairman Of the democratic
caucus. says that no agreement has been
reached respecting the date when vote shall
be taken on the tariff bill. The debate, he
says, will continue in pursuance of the policy
adopted at the only democratic caucus
held this session. and applies to the Blair BILL
the Montana election case and other subjects
When it is thought that there has been a SUM-
cient II not q satisfactory and thorough dis
custom of the tariff bill the democrats will
agree, in accordance with the Gus
tom OF the Senate, to take q
vote upon it. The question has been privately
under consideration on both sides Of the
chamber and numerous dates sug-
gested, but no conclusion has been
reached. The proposition for q closure
must come. he says, from the republicans.
None has yet been received, and when it comes
1t may or may not prove satisfactory in all re-
spects
As stated yesterday the general impression is
that the date for voting on the tariff bill will be
hxed at nbout September 5.

Citizens Meeting I'm Regard to the At
kinson Bill

At a meeting of a number Of citizens Of
Washington, held at No. 631:: Pennsylvania ave-
nuo northwest, presided over by ]. Harrison
johnson, the railroad business generally was
discussed, but particular attention was
given to the Atkinson bill now pend
ing in Congress, and it was the unanimous
opinion of those present that it would
be most disastrous to the southwestern
section of the city to pass such bill. One
nuisance long existing (namely, the old canal. }
was abated years ago by converting il into q
sewer, thus closing that gap, but the greater
nuisance, namely, the railroads as they are
mot mentioning what they would be if the
above bill should pass), seem to be stumbling
block hard to overcome, except by main force,
as in the case OF the track around Maryland
avenue TO the Baltimore and Ohio depot
under the regime of Gov. Shepherd;
but we as peaceable law-abiding citizens do
now unite in a request to the honorable Con-
gress TO permit Helis Bottom and Murder Bay
to remain where they are and not convert our
section into localities jus,iying this title by the
passage of such bill.
