THE ELECTRIC LIGHT.-Complaint is
sometimes made that 'the electric light
was not burning at this or that corner
last night" The most recent case is
one in the western approaches to the
city. Superintendent Kirby says that
these lamps have been cut out because
of a ground wire, as the committee on
light have been denied the privilege of
trimming trees SO the wire could pass
through. The result Of this refusal has
in several instances been the cause of
the insulation being worn from the wire,
causing the death of the tree and the
destruction ofsome electrical machinery
at the power house. During the pres
ent year the city purchased an arma-
ture for $500. Recently wire was found
grounded in tree on Alfred street,
request to trim the tree having been
refused. The result is dead tree and the
burning Of the wire from the armature,
requiring its return to Connecticut. Mr..
Kirby has examined and repaired the
lamps and they appear to work well,
but if persons persist in refusing TO al
low the trimming Of trees they will
continue to inconvenience the public
who want all the light they now get,
and more TOO.

ices of the National Capital Ice Com
pany, on the river side Of Water street
near the foot of Eighth street south
west, were on fire. The structure, a
long two-storied frame one, was built
so that its exterior had the form of &
row of dwellings on the Water street
side. and was so arranged to to be
easily convertible into dwellings when
the need of their present use ceases.
The office was situated at the east end,
and above the stalls at the west front
were lofts in which hay was stored. A
brisk gale was blowing when the alarm
was sgiven and helped to spread
the flames. The loss is estimated at
$1,000. The origin Of the fire is sup
posed to have been a chance spark.

PATENT APPLIANCES FOR CARs.-An
item in yesterdays GAZETTE, which
stated that patent ''pilot" had been
invented for electric and cable cars,
caused some apprehension among pa

pliancc be adopted in this city. As
stated, the patent is in the nature of
what might be termed "cowcatcher,
which, instead of tossing victim in the
air, gently deposits him or her in pos
terror position in basket. The appre
hension was caused by the fact that
many daring youngsters might be too
fond of testing the merits of the inven
ton by purposely throwing themselves
in front of cars.
