WRONG SIDE OF STREET.
William II. Thomas Arrafsned for
NiOlntimg Police RcGuInfions


William II. Thomas, who for some time
past has been an engineer at the Hotel
Johnson, was today tried before Judge
kimball on charges of driving on the wrong
side of the street and assaulting officer
Cover.
Policeman Cover detailed the circum-
stances of the arrest and said that Thorn
as was driving on the wrong side of Penn
sylvania avenue, between 9th and 18th
streets northwest, and at the latter place
he put Thomas under arrest. Thomas then,
he said, became very dsorderly, and after
he got out Of his buggy, resisted the wit
ness ana his colleague, Mr.. Acton, all the
way 10 the station, and also cursed Cover.
Mr. w. Calvin Chase, counsel for Thorn
as, questioned Cover and brought out the
fact that IN the station Cover slapped
Thomas in the face and with his open
hand. Cover denied that Lieut.. Amiss re-
buked him for striking Thomas.
Polcemen Simpson and Acton corrobo-
rated the story told by Cover as to the
arrest, and both said Cover slapped Thorn
as in the face. Acton said the blow was
not made with any force. Simpson and
acton also sald Thomas was not disorderly
after ms arrest, as had been stated by
Cover; also that he did not use any pro-
family.
When called to the stand Thomas said he
dld drive for short distance On the wrong
SIDE OF pennsylvania avenue, but was I'M
aware that he was viola ing the police reg
ulations on the subject He furth asserted
that he at no time offered any resistance
to the officers. AS to the station house in
cident, Thomas said Cover after treating
lin in very rough manner, deliberately
slapped him violently i'm the face. He APP
pealed, he said, to Lieut. Amiss to protect
him and the lieutenant told Cover that he
had acted too hastily Il
Judge Kimball dismissed the charge of
disorderly conduct and fined Thomas s. in
the other case. The fine was paid

Lamps That Ever Burn.

Marvellous accounts are given by me-
diaeval authors Of perpetually burning
lamps found in ancient tombs.
When the tomb of Pals, son Of Evand-
er, VINO is mentioned by Virgil, was dis
covered. about the twelfth century, by
countryman digging near Rome. It Is
said that a lamp was still burning over
his head, which must have been lighted
more than 1000 years before.
Baptista Porta, In his treatise on natu-
raj magic, relates that about 1850 q
marble sepulcher of the Roman period
was discovered in an island near Naples.
On opening the room was found a vial
containing burning lamp. The lamp
became extinct on breaking the vial and
exposing the lamp to the open air. 1t
was supposed that It had been concealed
before the Christian era. and those who
saw it reported that the lamp emitted q
splendid fame.
In 1850 a remarkable lamp was found
near Atestes. Padau. by a rustic, who
unearthed a terra Gotta urn containing
another urn In which was lamp placed
between two cylindrical vessels, one OF
gold and the other of silver. Each was
full Of a very pure liquid by whose virtue
the lamp had been kept shining upward
Of 1900 years.
This curious lamp was not meant to
scare away evil spirits from q tomb. but
was an attempt to perpetuate the pro-
found knowledge Of Maximus Oily bius.
who effected this wonder BY his skill In
the chemical a.
