Many costumes have waist-coats of

The arched Marie Stuart bonnet has

THEIR POWER QUESTIONED
Commissioners and the Proposed
Subway Scheme.
Ambiguous Acts of Congress which
May BE Construed Adversely
to the Present Plan.

A new pnase has been given the wire
under which the District is supposed to be
conducted, the several acts of Congress
passed for the control OF overhead tele-
graph and telephone wires admit of two
constructions, and the question now pre-
sents itself whether under the present
statutes the District Commissioners really
have even the right to grant a permit for
underground conduits, to say nothing of
their possessing the power to compel the
placing OF wires under ground.
Under the act approved July 10, 1888,
making appropriations for the District gov
ernment, the Commissioners were EN-
powered to authorize the wires of any exist
Ing telegraph, telephone or electric light
company TO be laid under any street, alley,
fOotway or sidewalk, but the authority
thus conferred was with the provisO that
1t should not be exercised after the termi-
nation of that Congressional session
Congress passed a similar measure March
2, 1889, but provided that the authority
should continue only until the termination
of the Fifty-first Congress.
In each case this provision was inserted
In the belief that the succeeding Congress
would enact a general law upon the subject.
Later there was q commission appointed
to report upon a system of subwaye aud for
other purposes and reports were afterward
submitted TO Congress, and the whole rub
ject was deliberately discussed in report
made by Capt. George j. Fieberger, of the
District engineer department. 1t is stated
as n fact however that there has been
really no authority Us yet given by Con-
gress for carrying out the proposed system
Of subways, and there is a doubt expressed
whether, upon a test being made, the gen.
eral law would cover the authority the
board might exercise in granting a permit
for underground conduits.

lived an exemplary life, and had been re-
garded as model young man The news
of the defaication came as great surprise
Mayor McKisson had an interview with
him during the afternoon, with the result
that Loehner refunded great portion Of
the money
LOehner was taken TO the county jai
about 4 o'clock, very much depressed in spir-
it's and evidently suffering acutely. He
rapidly showed alarming symptoms of Ill.
ness, and physicians were summoned.
1t became apparent that he was dying
from the shock caused by the discovery OF
his peculations and his arrest Every ef-
fort was made TO rally his vital forces, but
at 4 O'Clock he died. The physicians pro-
nounced death toa be directly due to the
