The Princeton Golf Club has resolved
to build no club house on its links this
year, but will spend the money which
it saves by this plan in keeping the
course in good condition. The club
was formed by residents in the spring
of the present year with about twenty
charter members, but the membership
is increased by the summer boarders
during the months Of June July and
| August. The course is laid out on
ground owned by j. H. Russell. 1t is
an ideal place, the character of the
ground being such that no bunkers had
| to be erected, and the links add much
| to the attractiveness of Princeton as a
| summer resort.

The Commissioners have ordered that the pay
ment OF general taxes for the year 1873 against
sublot W in square AZ, bounded by y and o
and Sixth and Seventh Streets northwest,
sessed to William b. Todd, TO fre amount OF
Sl073 be accepted without interest.
The Commissioners have increased the pension
of Calhoun Clark, OF HOP Street northwest.
from $50 to $50 per month. Clark was retired
from the Ere Department in 1892 account
of disabilities received in the service.
In pursuance of the opinion rendered by the
Attorney for the District several days ago re
garding the duties of special policemen sta
toned at street railway crossings and intersec-
tons in which il was held that they are pos
ssssed OF police authority. the Commissioners yes
terday ordered the Major OF Police TO instruct
such policemen that they possess such authority
and that they will he required to perform such
duties as may be prescribed for them.
The Commissioners have informed Arthur l..
Shreve. general manager Of the Southern Asphalt
Paving Company, Baltimore, in reply To a letter
relative to the awarding OF the contract for lay

ty-four hours start. 1t was learned thGt
the man had been to a clothing store and
purchased a new suit of clothes, and that
he had been accommodated at down
town hotel where he was said to have
been extremely nervous and to have Or
dered three dinners from different wat
ers. Other facts were learned, ali of which
showed beyond question that Funk was
responsible for the death of Mr.. Brooks
and the serious injury of his wife.
When the facts in the case became known
the police telegraphed the description of
the man TO Baltimore and Philadelphia,
where he was known TO have relatives liv
ing. Communications were also addressed
TO other cities in the hope that he might
be captured. Funk evidently was shrewd
enough TO know that he would be suspected
and though an ignorant man, displayed
cleverness enough to evade the police AT
one time he was reported captured at a
small town in Illinois, and so confident
were the police that they had the right
man that they assured the local police
that Funk was in custody. As result
Harvey Given, an official at the office OF
the District Attorney. was sent with Mag
gle Brooks 10 Illinois to Identify the man.
The journey was for naught as Miss
Brooks. after seeing the man, declared that
he was not Funk. From that time nothing
definite was learned OF Funk until several
months ago. when the police stated that
they had located the man, and knew he
was in correspondence with relatives.
The police claim that Funk is somewhere
in New York State, and express the
opinion that he will be captured some
day. So far, the man has been able to
keep away from the guardians of the law
despite the fact that the police are san
guine of capturing him. The opinion is
expressed that as the man was able to
get away from them in the first place with
out the least trouble he will find no diff
fculty in continuing TO keep away.

MANDAMUs PROCEEDINGS.
The Mutual District Messenger Com
pnny Asks for n Writ.

Proceedings for mandamus were insti-
tuted yesterday by the Mutual District
Messenger Company against the Com
missioners for the District of Columbia
asking that the Supreme Court Of the
District compel them to issue permit al
lowing the petitioners to connect the res
idence of Rear Admiral Thomas o. Sell
fridge, jr., by electric wire with a role
in front of his house
1t is stated that recently Rear Admiral
Selfridge, ir., made application to the pc
titioning corporation, requesting that it
install burglar alarm in his residence
during his absence from the city. The
house is located at the corner of Columbia
Road and Kalomara Avenue, and it is al
legged that one of the wires of the Mutual
Messenger Company is run along the Co
lumbia Road on poles, one of which is di-
rectIy in front Of Admiral Selfridge's
home.
The Commissioners, it is asserted in the
petition, have declined TO issue the permit
asked for on the ground that they are
without legal authority TO do SO. The
Messenger Company declares that this ac-
tion on the part of the Commissioners is
arbitrary, it being stated that it is believ-
ed that the Commissioners have legal right
TO grant the permit asked.

AWARD OF CONTRACTS
FOR STREET LIGHTING
The Question of the Cost of
Arc Lamps.
The Commissioners Postpone Ac-
tion on the Bids.
The District VIII Pay $50 Year
for Each Gas and Incan-
descent burner.

The Commissioners have agreed to award
the contracts for lighting the city with
gas and incandescent electric lights during
the coming fiscal year to the lowest bid
ders, but before awarding the contract
for electric arc lighting they will con-
suit their Attorney for certain legal advice.
The Georgetown Gaslight Company will,
under this arrangement, furnish and main
tain 400 or more gas lamps in the terri
tory west of Rock Creek for $40 per lamp
per year. The territory east of Rock
Creek, in which there are about 1000 gas
lamps, will be lighted by the Washington
Gaslight Company at the same rate per
lamp.
The bid of the Potomac Electric Light
ing Company, to furnish fifty incandescent
lamps at a price of $50 per lamp per year.
and additional lamps as desired at $3.50
each per year, was the lowest, and was ac-
cepted.
Both the Potomac Electric Power Com
pany and the United States Electric Light
ing Company submitted bids for arc light
ing for the streets now lighted by each
company. Their offers were the same
S9l.25 for each lamp year, with a like
bid for all new lamps that may be erected
and lighted. W. c. Allen, the District Elec-
trical Engineer after considering the arc
light bids, suggested that the Attorney for
the District be requested to construe the
electric lighting clause in the District APP
preparation act of March last. That
clause follows:

bia are hereby authorized TO grant permits for
