Welcome Yisitora,

Members of a comparatively new pro-
fession are meeting in Washington this
week. and they are just as welcome as
though they belonged to the oldest trade
known to man. The National Brotherhood
of Electrical Workers is a modern creation,
an exponent of the latest ideas Of a wonder
full science. and its members men of in
telligence and skill. This organization has
made remarkable progress in the few years
of it's existence. and. though small in num-
bers compared with some of the other les
unions and workingmens societies, 1t has a
big future. for the field of electricity has
only just been opened. and the possibilities
OF this science as yet unmeasured May
the electrical workers come here again ard
may their membership roll be quadrupled
ON their next visit.

From the Engineering News.
We can see in many different parts of
the country the effect of more people
crowding into a given area than was the
case few years ago. Sewage that once
went into the nearest stream mus. now be
disposed of on more scientific principles,
and water, once pure and abundant and
near at hand, must be gathered and
brought from greater distances. In our
great cities the sanitary conditions are
being more and carefully looked into. and
greater precautions are found absolutely
necessary to preserve the public health.
While some, even large, cities are slow to
recognize the altered conditions, and con-
inue the wasteful methods Of a gener l.
ton now past. the general tendency Is to-
ward a healthy change IN practice and q
wiser provision for the near future.

The Board of Trade.

Probably no organization of business men
has ever planned more work to do or has
mere energetic members with which to do it
than the board of trade of the District. which
held its annual meeting last night. Presi-
dent Warmers address summarizing the
work of the year showed that, although
there was great deal accomplished in the
twelve months, there still remains a long
list or local needs to be supplied. The board
has grown in a way which proves that the
citizens and merchants of Washington are
convinced that they have at last found a
satisfactory means of expressing themselves
and of bringing their requirements emphat-
ically before Congress. The membership
rcll increases from year to year as the board
more and more convinces the national legis-
lators of the real requirements of the Dis
trict, and the prospect today is that this use
full body will continue to develop and to pro-
Guce good results for the local welfare. The
committee reports show that the scope of
their operations and Investigations is very
wide indeed. Such subjects as grade-cross-
iIgs. the lack of a good sewer system. the
need of a free public library, the extension
of the streets, new bridges, and better
water supply are attacked with vigor and in
telligence. The greatest difficulty in the
way of securing proper and needful lesisla-
ton for The District is the lack of apprecia-
tien on the part of many members of Con-
eress of the true relations that have been
imposed by law between the District and the
national government. and the board can in
tie future. as it has in the past. do excellent
service by explaining the obligations of Con-
gross to such Of the national legislators as
have not served long enough to fully under
stand this matter or who have in the past
for various reasons persisted in ignoring the
true responsibilities of the government in
this regard.

Two Dangerous Creeks.

The recent accident by which a woman
lost her life in the James Creek canal by
drowning points again to the great danger
that exists In the unprotected condition of
this open watercourse that runs through
large section of the city. which, if not as
thickly populated as some other neighbor-
hoods. yet deserves more consideration
from those VINO make the appropriations
than it now receives. In the northwest
there is Rock Creek and in the south James
Creek. both of them streams Of water pol
luted by sewage and surface drainage and
exposed in such a manner that death to
those living near at hand is constant pos
sbility. The malarial influences Of these
streams which are little else than open
sewers. have been felt by the citizens every
season until they have become well-righ
intolerable. The dual nuisance thus created
by the negligence of Congress in falling to
appropriate for the improvement of these
water courses must be abated. James Greek
should be covered over without delay.
Pending such action by Congress the Com
mssioners could probably take some steps
to guard its now unprotected banks and
bridges. The recommendation of the cor
orer's jury that lights and guard rails
should be provided on the bridge where the
accident occurred is a sensible one and
should result in action in that direction.

SHEEHAN:-Tuosday, August 20, 1885. Joanna,
the beloved wife of Prof Thomas Sheehan,
of this city, aged thirty-ono years.
The angel of death has once again
entered the fold of happy home and
borne across the dark river to the
golden shores beyond: the soul of one
who in life was gracious and gentle
lady, a true and tender wife. Her
husbands loss-who can measure it.
For such as her It's we'll to believe
"There is no DEATH"
At an early hour last Tuesday morn
ing, Joanna, the beloved wife of Prof.
Thos. Sheehan, passed peacefully
away, surrounded by sorrowing friends
who did all that tender care and med-a
ical aid could devise, Out Without
avail. A little boy was ushered into the
world from which its mothers spirit
was destined to take its flight within
one short hour. The parting was
indeed sad-almost unbearable to the
heart-broken husband. In that lonely
home there will be vacant chair.
There will be life's companion gone,
but the examples will be embodied,
upon every article that knew her
touch. which will bring a sacred
thought of one whose memory will
always lie fondly cherished by the
husband, who less than a year ago
led to the altar a life's help-mate, who
alas is no more of this earth. $3.50, :,
The funeral which occurred this
morning at ten O'Clock was all impress

held at the Catholic church being very
touching, while the altar upon which
the cold still casket lay was strewn
with flowers given by friends as
emblems of love.
