An Electric Light Wire the Cause of
the Trouble.

Wednesday evening. About z o'clock
Chief Engineer Patterson went to the
city hall to fix broken circuit and
was surprised on opening the door
leading to the small apartment in
which the switchboard is kept to find
nearly the entire room in flames.
The fire was occasioned by an electric
Nght wire dropping across the fire

BOARD to become ignited. The fire sys-
tem' however was out of order for but
a brief time. as Chief Patterson made
a temporary connection. The flames
were extinguished without serious loss.

OF that thoroughfare with goods in the
vicinity of the Central Market, and which
has been a matter of discussion for sew
eral months. was settled yesterday, re-
sulting in victory for the produce deal
ers.
The matter was first brought to the at
tention of the Commissioners last June
when delegation of commission mer-
chants called upon the Commissioners and
requested on behalf of themselves and
their fellow merchants that the order re-
quiring them 10 pay tax for the use
of the sidewalk be rescinded, inasmuch
as they are required to pay an annual IL
cense of $40
The matter was taken under advisement
by the Commissioners and referred to the
attorney for the District for an opinion,
which he gave early in October, ruling
that the Commissioners were authorized
TO provide for the use of the sidewalks
for the storage of merchants good with
or without compensation. In view of this
opinion the Commissioners yesterday
agreed to notify the merchants doing
business on Louisiana Avenue. between
Ninth and Tenth Streets northwest. that.
upon application to the Commissioners in
writing for permission to do business on
the sidewalk in front of their respective
places OF business, such privilege will be
granted them, without compensation, un-
der the authority conferred upon the
Commissioners by the act approved by
Congress on July l, last, providing for the
setting apart of certain thoroughfares as
business streets.
