WANTS A SPECIAL APPEAL
U. s. Electric Company Petitions
the Court Of Appeals.
WHY HASTE IS NECESSARY
commissioners May Award Contract
to Potomac Company AT Any Time.
Counsel for Defendant Moved a
PostpOnement-O to I'm
less Final Action Is Deferred.

The United States Electric Lighting Com
pany today filed petition with the court OF
appeals for special appeal from the de-
cison of Judge Cole. .discharging the IN
junction against the District Commissioners
and the Potomac Electric Power Company.
Judge Jcre Wilson and Attorney James X.
Redington, representing United states
Company appeared before Chief Justice
Alvey and Justices Morris and Shepard and
urged the granting Of Il special appeal
which they desired heard as speedily as
possible. The necessity for haste was em-
phasZed by the statement that the Com
miSsion,rs might award the contract 10
the Potomac Company at any time.
Mr.. y. :. Worthinpton. one of the coun-
sci for the defendants, submitted that his
associate, Mr.. j. j. Darlington, WIS out
of the city and would not return :or a
week. He therefore asked that the mat
ter yo over until then. TO this Mr.. Red
ington objected unless some assurance
would bc given the court by MIR. Worth
ington that the Commissioners would mcin-
time defer action.
Chief Justice Alvey received the petition
and informed counsel that it would be
adyiscmcnt.
The petition recites:
CONTENTS OF THE PETITION.

the power of the Commissioners to grant
permits for the occupation and use OF pub

or, If such authority is necessary, whether
it was conferred by the act OF Congress

Express or necessarily implied authority
from Congress is essential.
No sucn authority, prior to the act or
June IL, 1886. had ever been conferred
by Congress on the Commissionersin in respect
to the Potomac Electric Power Company.
Whetrher the act OF June IL, 1886, CON

Commissioners is one OF the vital CUES
tions yofved, in respect to which this
petition is filed.
Without the operation of restraining
order, or other like process, the impcnd-

nature, VIII have resulted long prior to
the time when an appeal from final decree
below can bring the questions involved to
this court
The impending danger is in part the un-
lawful occupation and use OF several miles
of the public streets and avenues by the
defendant company. Your petitioner,
therefore, respectfully prays:

The Dispatch was the first paper
in the State to demand an official in
vestigation of the bond deal and dis
pensarv scauda1s, not because it be-
lieyed that Governor Evans was Grim
inaily connected with them, but be-
cause they were Reform measures
and. as such, the Reform faction OF
the Democratic party is responsible
to the people OF the State for the
clean and honest transaction Of the
one and the faithful administration
OF the Affairs of the other by the
officials in charge of that department
of the State government. The law
officers, whose duty it is to see that
the laws are obeycd and that there
is no rottenness, corruption and
fraud existing among trusted officials,
owe it to themselves, owe it to~the
members of the Reform faction,
whose representatives they are, to
give these charges against State Of
6cials thorough and searching in
vestigation. The innocent has moth
ing to lose by it and the guilty will be
brought to justice and made to suf-
fer for their roguery.
We are glad to know that Col
Willie Jones, Chairman OF the State
Board of Control, has taken the inl-
tial steps towards Investigating the
charges connected with the manage
nent of the dispensary. His Board
is assisted by the Legislative commit.

CATION commenced today. It is a
fo,4unate thing for the Reformers,
fortunate for the State and fortunate
for the innocent as we'll as fortunate
for the guilty that one whose reputa-
ton for honesty, integrity, fairness
and inpartiality is so high as is Col
Jones, is conducting the investiga,
titn, for he will uphold the honor Of
the Reform faction, look after the in
terest Of the State, protect the In
nocent and see that no undue advaut-
age is taken Of the guilty, while at
the sametime feallessly discharge his
whole duty Common decency and
humanity would suggest to the State
press give to a fair and impartial &C,
coun! of the investigation without
the use OF flaming and misleading
heads and sub heads calculated to
prejudice the minds Of the public,
then when the evidence IS in right
ccus verdict will be rendered and
punishment meted out to the guilty.

FLOODS IN WASHINGTON.
The Whole State Seems To Be Af1oat and
Railroads Suspended.

Seattle, Wash, November 16.-Seattle
is completely cut off from communica-
zion by rail with the outside world. On
the trans continental lines running into
this city, not a train, freight or passen-
ger, has departed within "a hours. This
remarkable state of affairs is due to
foods and storms. 1t has rained almost
necessarily for ten day. Castle Rock, a
town of 500 Inhabitants In Gowlitz. is
entirely covered by water from one to
three feet deep and mary houses have
been washed from their foundation.
The storm here yesterday was the
worst since last winter. There are no
trains between Tacoma and Seattle yes
terday and overland trains from Spokane
to Portland are running slowly, with no
disoontinuanoe as yet. All that portion
of the Great Northern systom from the
Cascades, west, including the coast line
ia paraly aed.
Owing to great landslide the Seattle
& international, connecting with the
Canadian Pacific, has been interrupted
for Is hours. The Northern Pacific Is
ending passengers by boat to Tacoma,
where connections may be made with
Portland.
The bridge over the Yakima river at
Cleelum was washed out last night, de-
stroying railroad facilities between here
and Ellensburg.
