wAsHINGTON's BIG CLEANUP.
Every Kind of street Obstruction,
Even Barber Poles, Must BE Re-
moved.
From the Washington Post.


From the Washington Post.
The order issued by the commissioner on
Monday relative to the removal of OBJ
structions of all kinds from
the various streets and public
spaces will go into effect this morning,
and for several days the police will
have their hands full of business serv-
ing notice upon persons who, under the
new order of things. are violators OF
the law. AS predicted in the Post yes
terday morning, the action of the COM
missioners raised a storm all over the
city, particularly among those who were
affected by the sweeping order.
At the various police stations last night
the long order of the commissioners in
regard to the sign and street box bust
ness was read out to the policemen, and
they were instructed to notify all Offend
ers at once.
The order is especially severe in regard
TO barber poles, and, if it is obeyed.
the tri-colored signs which have for
centuries been emblamatic of the art ton
serial will be seen no more in Washington.
All SIGNS which touch the sidewalk
whether close to the building or out on
the curb, are on the list. That big gilded
gun at Twelfth street and Pennsylvania
avenue, which has stood so long that it
has become a lapdmark, has got TO come
down, and so have all swinging and IL
Illuminated signs which stick out more
than three and a half feet from the
building line and are lower than eight
feet Signs attached to awnings, whether
tin, cloth or PAPER, are marked for de-
struction, too.
Bootblack chairs have received a spec
ial mention in the order. One bootblack
was told by policeman last night that
he would have to move.
where I'll move to, boss ?" he asked.
Cant tell you, son." rsturned the blue
coat. "Just move and keep a-moving."
The order takes in piles of lumber which
are in front of lumber yards on the back
streets, and requires the removal of old
iron, ETC.. which is stacked up in front
of many of the foundries and wagon
yards.
Lieut. Teeples of the Second police pre-
cinct told his men to be easy with those
who were caught by the order and to al
low them a reasonable time in which
to take down their signs. Part of Seventh
street northwest, which is a solid mass
of swinging signs, is in his precinct.
Lieut.. Boyle of he Third precinct also
instructed the patrolmen in his charge
to give the merchants time in which to
comply with the order.
1t is conservatively estimated that at
least 800 business men in the city will
be seriously affected by the new order,
many of whom, as they depend upon the
patronage of the poorer classes, will be
obliged to add increased hardships upon
those classes at a time when they are
least able to stand it,

A Case of Sunstroke.
From the Springfield Republican

The most striking demonstration of the
whitening and deadly effect of good
word" from the New York Sun, which
has thus far engaged our attention, is
found in the hapless and tragic case of
a newspaper bantling which was first
issued in Elmira, n Y, on Monday last

journal. The newcomer bravely kept
coming out, Tuesday Wednesday and
Thursday. and it might have gone on
forever had not something terrible hap
pened. On Thursday the Sun wished its
little Elmira namesake long life and pros
perity and the consequence, natural,
logical and inevitable. was that the Elmra
paper suspended publication on the fol-
lowing morning.

GOV. MARvIL mIsREPREsENTED.
Statement That He Cannot Read and
Write Has No Foundation.

Wilmington, Del. Jan. 1S-The states
ment that J. II. Maryil, Delaware's new

action that might cause nerve tension.
Had he read his address he would have
ignored the advice of his physician.
The governor is 70 years old, and has
been a resident of Delaware all his life
His parents were not rich, and early I'M
life he was compelled to go to work
He received very little education. Schools
were not very numerous. but out of con-

PONDER MILLS BLOWN UP.
Four Buildings Destroyed and Two Men
Lose Their Lives.

Troy. May 15.-The Schaghticoke powder
mills explosion this morning. whereby two en-
ployees. Chauncey Holmes and Charles Clum.
lost their lives. is one Of the worst that ever
happened there. Three wheel mills and a large
storehouse wero blown up Holmes was blown
to pieces. his remains being found 200 feet
away. Clum received injuries from which he
died a few hours later. The mills were 200 feet
apart. Near mill No. .. which exploded first,
was brick safe. in which were stored one and
a half tons of powder. This afc is levellcd. The
cause OF the accident is not known. though it Is
thought to have been from conclusion or u live
wire.
Secretary Doremus said to-day that Clum in
formed him before he died that the explosion
occurred after the wheel in mill No. . had
stopped. Holmes went into the mill, and n few
minutes afterward the explosion occurred. The
door Of the safe was probably open. and the
mass of powder exploding caused n ConcussiOn
that destroyed the other mills. Mill No. = was
blown to fragments several months ago while
the men were at dinner
When the first explosion occurred to-day sew
eral men were in tne vicinity of mill No. D I'M
loading green powder. They were but slightly
injured. Mill No. was not damaged.
The conclusion was felt throughout the vii
lage and many windows were broken. The mills
were erected two years ago, were equipped with
modern improvements. and were run by cleo
tricity.
