streets and Avenues
The United States Electric Lighting Company
is anxious to extend its wires under certain
streets in the District, and this afternoon the
Commissioners gave a hearing to Mr.. A.

nue. and Maryland avenue east. Maryland ave-
nue. from ID to Fl northeast, 18th from Penn
sylvania avenue to Massachusetts, avenue east,
New Hampshire avenue from Dupont Circle to
Boundary, street from 9th to 10th north west
and 11th street from Penn sylvania avenue to II
street northwest. He maintained that his COM
pany had the right to lay these wires under an
act of Congress.
The law saws:
No additional wires shall be erected or main
tanned on o over streets or avenues Of WASH
ington after September Is. 1883.
No additional wires to be placed underground

plication only, of act of March 3, 1891, vol IS.

nections for electric service and changes

those wires which were authorized bv the Com
missioners under act of March 2, 1889 (vol. 25
p S04), but not laid because Of five-mile limi-
tations. which expired April /. 1892
The Commissioners after hearing the argu-
ments decided to submit the question to the

THEY CAN REVISE.

Power of the commissioners Over the Esti-
mates of the Superintendent of Charities.
Some time ago the superintendent of chari-
ties, in letter to the Commissioners. called at
tention to their rulings under the act creating
the Office of superintendent of charities that
they had not the right to modify the annual
estimates made by that Official. The superin-
tenden, of charities called attention to the fact
that contingencies might arise in which this
would be a question of considerable import
ance. and suggested that the opinion of the
assistant attorney for the District be called for
upon the question. Assistant Attorney S. T..
Thomas sent his opinion liz the matter to the
Commissioners this morning. He holds that
the law creating tine Office of superintendent of
charities coniers upon the Commissioners the
right to revise that officials annual estimates.

A MOBILE BANK FAILS.
Examiner Campbell Takes Charge at
Request Of the Management.

Examiner Campbell Takes Charge at the
Request Of the Management.
At the request Of the officers of the Alabama
National Bank of Mobile, Bank Examiner B. J.
Campbell visited the bank and has directed the
institution to close its doors. This step was
not unexpected in financial circles, and came
nearly being taken in December last, when the
knowledge of the condition of the bank caused
the depoits to fall off very rapidly, and wha,
are left can be paid inside of sixty days, the
bank having now about IS per cent on hand o.
the amount necessary to hquidate all claims.
The remainder and more is amply secured.
There will be no losses on the part of the
depositors.
F. H. Clergue, president. is said to be the
cause of all the trouble. He, it is alleged, has
used between $50 900 and SEQ. 900 of the bank
money, and efforts made during the past sixty
days to obtain a settlement have failed. The
management Of the bank decided that the best
way to place the institution on its feet would
be TO call on the controller of the currency for
an examination.
The bank examiner states that several DAYS
will be required to determine the true condi-
ton Of the institution.

THE TROLLEY OUT OF DATE.
System OF Inexpensive Underxround
Wires for Railroads


Wires for Railroads.
A special to the New York Times from Hart
ford, Conn, says: The problem Of under
ground wires for electrical railways has been
solved in this city, and section of street rail-
road here IL now in running condition BY the
new system The underground equipment has
been down all winter, with the horse cars run
ming over it constantly, and in no case has the
slightest danger been experienced BY contact
with It The wires are midway between the
tracks. The severest winter that has been ex-
perienced here in years has not affected the ap-
paratus and the circuit has not been inter
rupted The placing of the wires under ground
will not cost much more than installing the
trolley lines.
The inventor Of the system, James r. Mun.ie
was the first superintendent of the Canadian
Pacific telegraph lines; before that he was
superintendent Of the Dominion lines. and
made the land connections with the Atlantic
cable at Cape Canso. He prepared the esti-
mates for the Gould American Union lines. In
all Of these positions he showed ability o; a
high order. For years he has been working on
the problem OF producing q system of under
ground wires. which may be relied upon in
every emergency of storm and change Of tenn
perature, and at the same time be perfectly
safe for the travelling public. The expert
ments, which have terminated successfully,
have been conducted under the city govern

Preliminary Field Party Started Out ON
the Work Today.
The first work under the new bill providing
for a permanent system Of highways was begun
today by the engineer department While
the Commissioners have not as yet decided
upon any definite plans for the extension OF
city streets, it is the policy Of the
engineer department which will have immedi-
ate charge of the work to place three engineer
ing parties in the field and give each one
charge of a section. For instance, one party
will look after the extension of the streets in
the east. another in the west and third in
the north. This plan will extend the streets
in the different frontier sections gradually.
This morning a preliminary field party
started out for the purpose Of paving The
way for the regular field parties when the
Commissioners commence regularly to do the
wors. The party sent out this morning will
make a survey Of 18th street first, then
Connecticut avenue and lastly Rhode Island
avenue. A map will be prepared showing the
lines Of the extensions which 1t is believed will
greatly assist the new field parties when they go

Some Modern Facilities Adopted by tn
Pennsyivania Road.

Some Modern Facilities Adopted by the
Pennsyiv.nia Road.
The freight facilities Of the Baltimore and
Potomac railroad have been materially in
creased. No new tracks have been laid, but
the Washington freight end Of the line has been
so thoroughly recognized and systemstized that
its capacity for handling goods has been en-
larged. The official to whom this important
work was intrusted was Mr.. William Bender
Wilson,
The Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore
management recognized that the railroads had
not kept pace with Washington in the march Of
progress and that the freight business Of the
city was handled much after the fashion Of .
wayside station. For this reason Mr.. Wilson
was authorized to invade Washington and lift
the freight traffic out of chaos. When he came
he found that the Baltimore and Potomac
freight depot at 9th and Maryland avenue was
an aggregation of miserable sheds. without
proper accommodations for consignees or
shippers. and with no facilities for the prompt
transaction and dispatch of business. There
was one room in which carriers, drivers and
the public were huddIed together. 1t was
only twelve by twenty-eight feet, and the
cashier and clerks were always in danger Of being
crushed by the stampede All this is reformed
now.
THE NEW BUILDING.
A handsome new structure has been put up,
which more nearly meets the needs and the
convenience OF the railroad and Its patrons
The clerical force has been augmented by six
skilled men and their Office placed to the rear,
out of reach of the crowd commodious
Office has been fitted up for the cashier on the
left of the entrance, the agent is comfort
ably ensconced in an Office on the right and the
chief clerk is given quarters in the rear. AM
pie accommodations have been provided the
carriers and drivers. The force has also been
increased at the 9th street station. Another
pronounced improvement is the method of
notifying consignees. Heretofore three mes
sengers were employed, who did their work on
fooE and street car. Now the messengers are
mounted on bicycles Under tine former sys-
pleted till O'Clock pm. Under the new the
last notice is served not later than IL am.
Formerly business men seldom received notice
OF the arrival of their goods in time to discharge
them on the same day.
LIVELY RAILROAD CENTER
Mr.. Wilson declares that contrary to the ex-
pectations of railroad people Washington has
become an active, hustling railroad center and
merits to be treated great city. He also
saws that President Roberts has q great and
comprehensive plan for Washington soon as
the question of elevation depression of
tracks mas been decided by Congress Mr..
Wilson nrst came tothis city in 1862 as an
srmy telegrapher and he tells several
good wartime stories. including one which
relates how The EVENING STAR got the
scoop story of the battle of Balls Bluff and the
death of Col. E. d. Baker, and had an extra on
the street before the War Department received
news of the engagement.
