DAUGHTERS OF THE SAME FATHER,

DAUGHTERS OF THE SAME FATHER
DIED ITO YEARS APART.-Although
difficult to believe, it is nevertheless
true that the death of two halfsisters,
the daughters of the same father, occur
red 40 years apart. The grandfather
OF the British minister, Charles JAIME S
Fox. Sir Stephen Fox, married in 1864
and had daughter born to him 1865,
who died in the course of the same year.
He had several other children, who
grew up and married. but all of them
died before their father, and without
issue. Sir Stephen not wishing his
large fortune to fall into the hands OF
distant relatives, married again3st a
very advanced age, and his youngest
daughter was born in 1927. She reach
ed The age of SO years and died in 1925,
that isp170 years after thedsath of her
oldest sister. She saw Queen Victoria
when the latter was child, while her
half-sister was carried in the arms OF

BETTER GAS SUPPLIED.
The Inspector Reports an Increase IN
the Candle Power Last Year.

The Inspector Reports an Increase IN
the Candle Power Last Year.
By Cable to the Associated Press.
The annual report of the inspector of gas
and meters made public today, shows that
the power of the gas supplied by the
Washington Gas Light Company during
the year equaled 1865 candle power. This,
he says, is an increase of l.61 candle power
over the average obtained last year. No
defaults occurred during the year in the
Illuminating power and purity standard
The impurity known as sulphuretted by
drogen has been present on MANY occa-
sions. This should not exist in purified
gas supplied 10 Consumers, it being most
offensive and deleterious of all the sui
phur compounds found in Illuminating gas.
The Illuminating power of the gas supplied
by the Georgetown Gas Light Company
during the year averaged 1857 candle
power, which is about the same as last
year.
He suggests that the Georgetown Gas
Light Company be required to either pro-
vide coal for manufacturing gas from
which their purifying apparatus will re-
move the sulphur within the limits pre-
scribed or enlarge the purifying capacity
of their plant.
During the year 2713 meters were in
spected and proved. OF this number 2i9
registered fast; average error, 40 per
cent SiXty-Gne registered slow; average
error, 4.6i per cent; 2,S94 registered within
the limits prescribed, namely, = per cent
either way, and three die not register the
gas flowing through them. Five hundred
and ninety-one of the above were ordered
out, and inspected and proved COM
plant. Five hundred and eighty were COM
planned of by consumers, and of this num-
Der 23S registered fast against the con-
sumer, the average error being 4.43 per
cent Fffty-nine registered slow against
the company, the average error being 4.96
per cent.
The inspector recommends that the
Washington Gas Light Company be re-
qured to send to his office all meters that
they remove from consumers premises for
the purpose of ascertaining whether the
meter is registered correctly.

John T. Barnes, white man, was locked
up at the second police station last night
by Policeman Auldridge because it was
charged that he had committed dangerous
assault on Eliza Barnes, his colored wife.
When the case was called in the Police
Court this morning the wife charged that
her husband stabbed her in the head with
a knife, and for no cause whatever. Sew
to be suffering intense pain, and it was
with difficulty that she remained on Inc

The husband denied the charge, but as

THE WATER SUPPLY.
Pressing Necessity for It's Increase
Shown. Ina Many Ways.

The annual report of the superintendent
of the water department was submitted to
the Engineer Commissioner today. and Is
full of interesting details concerning the
workings of his office. During the year
142.9j2 Ia feet of water mains were laid.
Concerning the general water supply, he
says: AT no time since the 4S-inch main
was laid has the pressing need of an ampl,
supply of pure. clear water for all legiti-
mate purposes been felt more than during
the past year The gradual dimnution of
pressure in the gravity supply and distri-
button mains has been the cause of much
complaint among those living upon the
high levels. The present condition
OF the water supply renders 1t necessary
that steps be taken to efectually repress
the excessive waste or d water famine and
an insanitary condition In some parts OF
the city cannot be averted in the near fu-
ture. From experience and observation, ]
am convinced that the careless waste of
water can only be prevented by syste
matte Introduction of the meter system on
all service pipes to premises where large
quantities of water are consumed. Meters
should also be placed on all supply pipes
to public buildings in the District owned
and leased by the United States. to deter
mine the proportion Of Potomac water act
ually consumed and wasted per diem.
Compulsory Introduction of Meters.
II would urgently recommend that Con-
gress, at the next session, be asked to make
provision for the purchase and compulsory
Introduction of meters on service pipes to
public and private buildings under such
regulations the Commissioners may
deem necessary for economical use of wa
ter and suppression of waste"
The LydecLcr TusncI.
Referring to the probable use of the ia
NOUS 'Lydecker tunnel" he says: I'm the
event of the examination and test Of the
tunnel connecting the receiving reservoir
with the storage reservoir at Howard Uni
versity, demonstrating that the tunnel can
be used to increase the water supply for
the city, 4S-inch connection could be
made with the Champlain avenue shaft and

He admitted that he took the money, and
the detectives locked him up. Sheriff AL
