The lighting Of railway cars by
electricity in England does not seem
TO be making much progress, as the
Midland Railway has recently decided
to abandon the electric lighting sys-
TEN which has been In use on some Of
its trains for several years. and adopt
Pintsch gas The managers OF the
road gave as their reason for making
this change that the electric system,
although furnishing an agreeable light
was very unreliable and exceedingly
expensive TO operate and maintain

Tied Her Hands and Feet and TheI
Tried to Create the Impressions sh'
Had Been Robbed.

Tied Her Hands and Feet and Then
Tried to Create the Impressions she
Had Been Robbed.
Word was sent to police headquarters
Friday afternoon that colored do.
nestle had been assaulted and robbed
in the dwelling Of Mrs. Klnnard, No.
500 Washington street. Captain Kane,
together with State Detectives Wisil
and McEey, went at oncc TO tho house
and made an Investigation. Mrs. Kin.
nard said that her son had Informed her
he found the girl lying on the floor of
the cellar way with her hands and feet
tied In seemingly unconscious condi-
ton. Mrs. kiunard, who was upstairs
at the time, fastened downstairs and
tried to rouse tho girl, but was. unable
to do so. A bottle Of camphor was held
under her nose and she arose with q
start. Mrs. Kinnard cut the ropes
which were tied around her hands and
feet. The woman then told Mrs. KIM
nard she had started down the cellar
stairs 10 get some coal and when she
opened the door u man stepped out and
and grabbed her. She said he choked
her into Inconsistencies, made her
nose bleed and robbed her Of sum Of
money.
70 the detectives this was very thin
story and, after an investigation, they
came to the conclusion that the girl was
shamming. They found that the cord
which bound her hands had been SC.
curely tied to one wrist, but slip knot
had been placed over the other wrist SO
that she could have done the work her
self. The tieing Of the feet was accom-
plished the same way. Hel story about
going to the cellar for coal was shattered
| by the detectives when they found the
| coal scuttlc in its accustomed place and
no evidence that il had been removed,
unless the mythical robber had taken
great care To put it back in its place
again. In order to have done this he
must haze exercised d hoodoo over the
woman to induce her to tell him where
the scuttle should be placed. The state
ment in a morning paper that pool of
blood was found under the girls head
| is incorrect Her nose had been bleed
ing which might have been caused by
prlcMng.
Ii was shown that the girl had pur-
chased bottle Of paregoric at Whites
drug store during the afternoon and the
suppostlon Is that she drank the CON
tents OF the bottle. As paregoric is a
tincturc Of opium II is possible for it TO
| produce INCONSISTENCIES.
The detectives believe that the girl
worked the russo to create sympathy,
She said she had been robbed of $40 in
money and diamond ring. The sup
position is ii the nelghbors found that
the girl had actually been robbed 1t Is
possible that the negress was rash
enough to believe that by getting up
the story Of robbery she might induce
the ncighbors to make up purse foi
her sufficient TO rccoup her for the
alleged loss.
Happily Detective Witsil, with his
usual insight into such cases, recognized
the woman as the one arrested about d
year ago for stealing bicycle and then
setting fire to the house in which the
stolen property was concealed. She Il
an old offender. Realizing that hel
trick had been exposed the woman dis
appeared Friday evening.

Gilpin Avenue Property Owners and the
street and sewer Directors in Regard
to Street GRADE.
A special meeting Of the Street and
Sewer Directors was held Saturday
afternoon to consider the complaint OF
certain property owners on Gilpin ave-
nue. who claim damages on account Of
an alleged cnange of grade made by the
department, such change having in
jured their property.
The property in question Is Nos. 1919
to 152g Gilpin avenue, owned by Mrs.
Mary A. Fitzpatrick, Martin Woolhar,
Daniel Mccarthy, John NJ. Stuart and
Mrs. Ellen Barber.
1t looks as il the property was
acquired with an indistinct knowledge
US TO the correct city grades. There had
been some grading at the location pre-
vious 10 its acquisition by at least some
Of the PARTIES. The department holds to
the position that it cannot be held for
damages caused by change Of grade,
while the property owners claim that
the city should pay for bringing their
houses up TO the present grade.
The directors have made the proposi-
ton to I'LL in. pave the sidewalk, grade
the slope down to the houses, give use
of sewer branches FROM the building
line to sewer, sod the terrace, and build
steps down to the yard.
The property owner are considering
the proposition, which, IL is understood,
is open for 40 days.
