Passengers Locked In in European
Fashion and Could Not Get Out.
Additional particulars OF the railway dis.
aster on the line from Bucharest to Brakilov,
Roumania, show it to have been scene OF
great horror. Twenty persons, belonging
to the better class OF the commu-
nifty, mostly merchants aud others having
interests at the port Of Brakiov, occupied q
first-class carriage in the express train. AS
is customary on continental railroads, they
were locked up.
The interior Of the carriage somehow took
fire while the train was speeding along. The
fire must have spread with rapidity, for as
soon as the cries and screams of the impris-
oned passengers attracted attention the
flames seemed to be bursting from the win
dows. The unfortunates shouted to have the
door of their fiery furnace opened, while at
the same time they struggled to brsak it
open. But the smoke and flames soon over
came them, and when rescue came all were
dead but two, some having been burned to
death and others suffocated.

Instructions to Sanitary inspectors.
YesterdEy aftArnnnn Health Officar Hamnne f

Yesterday afternoon Health Officer Hammett
issued an order to the sanitary inspectors. call
ing their attention to the character of their
work. The letter reads as follows:
"On and after January l. 1898. you will be
required to visit and examine into the sanitary
condition Of all houses and premises within the
bounds Of your district. This work must be
done systematically, commencing at a given
point In each square and continued from house
to house daily, except Sunday, until each and
every premises have been inspected and all
nusauces injurious to health thoroughly
eradlcated, and the city put in such shape as to
defy the approach Of any contagious disease or
epidemic that might be eugendered by accumu-
iations OF filth faulty plumbing or other nuisan-
ces for which you are held responsible.
"The cities Of Washington and Georgetown,
urbs and. in fact. the whole District Of Column
bia must be cleared of all nuisances for which
this department is responsible OF the earliest
possible moment, and you will be expected to
exercise the utmost vigilance to that effect
while not employed upon important special
matters.
"In the pursuance of this labor you should
be courteous in your intercourse with the
people, impressing firmly upon them the neces-
sity of complying with the law as laid down in
the health ordinances
with diligence, perseverance and constant
attention to these instructions it is believed
that on the approach of the warm season the
District will be found clean, thus tightening
your duties during the summer and protecting
the public from invasion of disease and death
that might occur if your work is not faithfully
performed in the manner indicated"

Orphans Fr1cnds.


The recent sociable and donation party
given by the Catholic Knights of Washington
for the benefit OF the orphan boys Of St.
Joseph's Asylum was attended this year with
its usual success. and although returns for
tickets have not vet been made, we feel sure
that the proceeds will equal those Of last year.
The work was ably seconded by the com
mittee on donations, 30 il is not surprising that
most satisfactory results should come from the
united efforts OF those devoted gentlemen, who
not only labored with un firing energy in solicit
ing contributions for the orphans, but con-
tributed most generously themselves. Nothing
but the high pronptings of faith could induce
those gentlemen TO leave their places of bust
ness, and thereby sacrifice their own interests,
to further those Of Gods poor.
Both sisters and orphans desire to extend
their grateful tribute Of thanks to the Catholic
Knights and the community at large for their
generous response to the appeal of the CON-
mittee on donations; while to Mrs. James F.

Acknowledgements are due.

MIX AdulteratiOn.

Permit me the use Of few lines Of your
space to ask what may do in a matter which
is doubtless of as much importance to thou
sands of others as it is to me. For some time
past the quality of the milk which has been
supplied me by local dealer has been steadily
deteriorating until it is now far from whole

in response there has been temporary improve
ment, but now the supposititiously nutritious
fluid Is worse than ever before. Is there any
regular or irregular inspection of milk by the
governing authorities or is 1t left for indi-
viduals to seek redress in the courts? Is there
a law which can be depended upon to make
sure the punishment of those who adulterate
one Of the most precious of food products?

Another Street Nomenclature Suggested.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
The numerous suggestions for the reform Of
street nomenclature lately appearing. some wise
and some otherwise, embolden me to offer Just
one more brief suggestion in the interest Of
&C nservatism. 1t is the common assent that tho
present alphabetical plan of designating the
streets running east and west lie too useful and
too well established to be given up while certain
defects, as undue brsvity. the difficulty of
making out n single letter il obscurely written
and the confusion between, certain letters as
commonly written in script,e. g., X and r. are
notorious. l would suggest remedy which re-
quires no legislation or revolutionary change;
in fact, is already in practice to q small extent
1t is due to the consideration that many of our
present lettered street names afford, when writ
ten out, very pretty and brief and appropriate
names without regard to their alphabetical
origin and significance. For example, / often
write out for distinctness such names as Bee
street, Sea street, Dee street, Eye street, Kay
street. Ell street, Owe street, Pea street, Kew
street, Tea street, Yew street. Wye street, &C.
No one can misread these, as they afford an eff
fectuai guard against the frequent installing
by postmen and expressmen of X for r. T for
F, G for Il, l. for S, &c. Its gradual adoption
would soon demonstrate its utility.
Very truly yours, H. II. B.
