ATTORNEY THOMAS EXPLAINS.

Tells why the Cases Against Railroad
Engineers Were Dismissed.
At the last meeting Of the Northeast
Washington Citizens' Association Mr.. w.
J. Frixsell charged the attorney for the
District with being derelict in his duties
and. made other charges. These were
printed In The Star OF yesterday. Today
Attorney Thomas. discussing the incident
with a reporter Of The Star. said:
'"The cases to which Mr.. Frixzell refers m
The Star Of yesterday were informatlons
entered against the engineers OF the Balti-
more and Ohio railroad for fast running
Of trains, in violation of police regulation.
made by the Commissioners under The act
OF Congress of 1881. regarding the move
ment OF vehicles in the public streets. The
cases were passed at the January term OF
the Circuit Court, to await the decision Of
the Court OF Appeals In the consolidated
cases of the railroads and the District Of
Columbia, involving the police regulation
in regard to the stopping Of steam railway
trains at the crossings of rapid transit
street railroads. which case the Court Of
Appeals decided on the 9th of February.
1897.
In the opinion rendered by the Court OF
Appeals. the following reference Is made to
the authority Of the Commissioners to make
the regulation under which the engineers
were prosecuted, namely: We agree with
the appellants that railroad locomotives and
cars are not within the meaning OF the
word vehicles used in the foregoing
clause.'-Section 10. act OF Congress Of 1851,
to regulate the movement of vehicles on the
LCblic streets. ...
Thus the Court Of Appeals passed upon
and denied the authority of the Commis-
sioners to make the regulation under which
the engineers had been convicted. so that It
would have followed as matter of course
that upon the presentation of the cases in
the lower court that that court would have
followed the Court OF Appeals and d. .smisse ed
the cases.
The cases were properly attended to.
and they were dismissed not for want Of
prosecution. but because the police regula-
tion upon which they were founded had
been declared a nullity by the Court of
Appeals in another case"

ANOTHER POISONING HORROR.

Ing Three Persons.
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
PIKEVILLE, KY. May 12.-The poison
ing horror in which nine people lost their
Ewes at Bull Creek Spring has been fol-
loved by another in the same locality. At
Home Creek Springs, ten miles further
east. Ed. Mennix and Dorcas Alledger. a
boy and girl. drank from the spring Sun
day and died before night.
The same afternoon a stranger named
Fielden Drew. who. with his family, had
camped at the spring. used the water for
cooking. He died and his wife and three
children were in convulsions when the
courier arrived from there last night.
Drew had formerly lived in the neighbor-
hood of Beechmont. Pa. His wife and
the children were too sick to give any par
ticulars as to their destination rela-
tives. The poison dropped in both springs
was evidently arsenic, although there was
no way of learning what 1t was except
from the symptoms manifested. The peo-
pie are up in arms over the dastardly mur-
ders, and If the fiend who planned them
can be found he will be tarred, feathered

YOU CANNOT CURE PILES
BY Internal Remedies.

The only sure way 10 cure every form
Of piles is to use remedy like the
Pyramid Pile Cure which is applied
directly to the parts affected and its
wonderful healing effects are apparent
from the first application because the
medicinal properties are rapidly absorb
ed by tissues and sensitive membranes
Of the rectum, and the cure is made
speedily and almost before the patient
is aware Of it, every trace Of piles has
left MIN.
This is one Of the reasons why the
Pyramid Pile Cure has been SO uniform
~ successful. Ii is applied directly just
where il is needed and where il will do
the most good. Not by the roundabout
way of the stomach nor by the harsh,
barbarous methods Of various surgical
operations and SO called systems.
Direct application to the seat OF dis
ease is the only rational way, and this
is fully accomplished by the Pyramid
Pile Cure.
If the voluntary testimony OF tnous-
ands who have tried this remedy is
worth anything then no sufferer has any
excuse for longer delaying in giving it
a fair trial, knowing that when you do
SO the Pyramid Pile Cure will have made
one more friend, the best possible adver-
tisement we can have. The chief advant-
ages Of the remedy are: Il cures With
out pain, the cure is lasting, il contains
no poison, and lastly, it is the cheapest
and quickest cure yet found. Your drug
gisi can tell you what il has done for
others. Sold by druggists at soc and 81
