OF the evening was the report of the educa-

some method of imparting valuable informa-
tiOn to the members on matters pertaining to

careful and studious consideration it was de-
cded 10 prepare and publish Il book on elec-

liable points gained by actual experience of
the members. The matter is now in the hands
OF the committee, who are devotinG all their

At the regular meeting OF the Eccentric
Association OF Steam Engineers last Friday
night the members were jubilant over the ap-
pearance made by them during the celebra-
tion OF Labor Day and the many compli-
ments they had received.
The association also was glad to welcome
back an old and trusted member who had
wandered from the fold. One application
was received and several ex-members made
inquiries as to how they could get back, and
it is very creditabe to the association that the
amounts due by the delinquents were placed
at such reasonable figure. The committee
appointed to draft suitable resolutions to the
Commissioners protesting against the loose
and careless manner which steam engineers
licenses are issued made the following report:
Whereas the act approved February 2S,
1897, IAN act to regulate steam engineering
in the District of Columbia" provides that
all persons shall be licensed to act as steam
engineers;" and
Whereas section of said act does specify
''that all applicants for steam engineers Ii
cense shall be examined by board of Exam
iners composed of the boiler inspector for the
District OF Columbia and two practical steam
engineers, and
Whereas there have been frequent viola
tions ofthis aforesaid section 2, by examin-
ing and the granting of engineers license by
only two members of this said board, and
fully believing that the examination and the
issuing of steam engineers license by only
two of the aforesaid board is contrary to law;
Therefore, be il
Resolved, That this association respectfully
request the honorable Commissioners OF the
District OF Columbia to demand that a full
board of the steam engineer examiners to be
present to conduct the examination and grant
TO applicants their certificates of compe-
tceny, also to recommend a higher grade OF
examination Finally be if
Resolved That copy of these resolutions
be sent to the honorable Commissioners and
the same recorded upon the records OF this
association.

THE WILSON TRIAL
Results in a Verdict of Manslaughter.
Motion for Another Trial

Results in a Verdict of Manslaughter
Motion for Another Trial.
The trial of VIM. Wilson, charged with
murder in the second degree, was con-
cluded on Friday night, when the jury
returned a verdict of guilty of man
slaughter. The case was conducted on
principally the same lines as in the for
mer trial except that the defense made
considerable effort to introduce doubt
as to Wilson doing the shooting. Testi-
timony was introduced to show that some
man was ferried across the river in a
skiff soon after the shooting occurred,
from which the inference was expected
to be drawn that the man who crossed
the river may have done the shooting.
In the minds of some of the jury it seems
that the manner in which Murphy was
shot was not satisfactorily explained,
The jury is said to have stood at first
five for assault and battery, four for
manslaughter, and three for murder in
the second degree After ten hours of
hard work they came together on the
verdict as above stated. A notice was
given for new trial. and it will be ar
gued Thursday.

Fire Insurance Statistics.

In THE CHRONICLE of March 3rd, my
worthy competitor asks, "Can you trust
u.s. and then tells how much money he
has paid out for two companies. BY
looking over official reports l find that
on January lst, 1891, these two companies
had net surplus of 1886, ,O69; on January
1st, 1894, this net surplus is reduced to
S1l5.475.
AS to the Ohio Farmers: On January
1st, 1891, it reported net surplus of
S420, 800; on January 1st. 1894, it only
claims net surplus of S38,50l. AS it is
a mutual company, and has no capital
nor stockholders, nor anyone else to fall
back on unless it is the policy holders.
if this slender margin of s3S,501 should
be wiped out, land at same ratio Of de-
crease it won't take long, what would
their policies be worth? Is it the com
pany to invest your money in for your
protection? have the official papers to
prove the above statements.
