MINERS HOSPITALS.
Auditor Thinks Governor VIII Have
10 Reappoint Trustees.


soecial Dispatch TO tho 1ntcllIgencer.
CHARLESTON, W. Va, May l.
Auditor 1afollette has given out the
following opinion in regard to the qnos-
ton raised as to the building Of the
miners hospltnls: VI
There has never been any question
raised, so far as this office is concerned,
as TO the right OF the legislature 10 en-
hpdy In tho act creating an institution
anappropriationt to maintain II from the
massage Of the act until the meeting OF
me next legislature.
The legislature may pass az many
appropriation bills as 1t may deem Mt
and proper. II not being necessary at
nil 10 embody oil appropriations In the
general appropriation bill. This appro-
prIatlon, therefore, for the miners
hospitals. Is just rs good AS though
II were written In the general appropri-
alton bill.
1T Is my judgment that 1t Will be
necessary for the governor to reap
point the gentlemenwhomh has already
appointed as trustees for these instltu-
lions, after the 24th day Of May next,
and this for the reason that, as be-
lIevc. nothing can be legally done un-
der the act until 1t becomes law"

A Contractors Request Denied.

The Commissioners have replied to r. A.
Malone. the contractor on the proposed
reservoir to be built near Brightwood. who
asked that arrangements be made to de-
liver cement to him at Takoma instead OF
at the District yard. The reply in part is
as follows: Compliance with your re-
quest would involve a radical change in
the features of the contract, requiring the
instrument TO be formally amended with
the consent of the bondsmen. 1t would also
necessitate the additional expense OF an
inspector and would involve such change
in the constructive features that it is be-
lieved, had such provision been included
in the specifications, it would have af-
fected the price of cement under the con-
tract In view of the circumstances the
Commissioners feel that it is hardly proper
for them to put the District to additional
expense for the purpose of producing an
effect which another bidder might claim
would have lowered the price. II any
claim were to be allowed it is believed
that the District as well as the contractor
should be the gamer by it and the unit
price be modified accordingly, all of which
introduces so many elements into the plan
that it is hardly deemed advisable

DISTRICT WORK AND SUPPLIES.
The commissioners Accept n Num-
Der of Proposals.

Announcement was made at the District
Building yesterday of the acceptance of
a number of proposals for District work
AID supplies. Probably the most impor-
tant of these was the statement made in
general way that the Commissioners had
decided to accept the proposals of the
Crawford Paving Company and the Ayers
Asphalt Paving Company, of GAINESVILLE,
Ohio, to furnish asphalt paving during the
coming fiscal year for streets in Washing
ton. These two contracts involve an eX-
penditure of about 100000. 1t is under
stood that the Commissioners will have
the Ayers people pave about 10000 with
sheet asphalt and that about 25.GG0 square
feet will be constructed by the Crawford
concern.
The proposal of the Hawley Down Draft
Furnace Company to equip two boilers
at the U Street pumping station with their
down draft furnaces for $2,G00, and the
proposal of Westinghouse, Church, Kerr
& Co. to equip the two remaining boilers
at the same station with the Roney me-
chanical stoker for the sum of Sl,524, were
also accepted yesterday.
NJ ]. Drummond was awarded the con-
tract to furnish cast iron water pipe.
The Camden Iron Works received the
contract to furnish two cast-iron intake
towers with appurtenances.

LEASE OF WHARF PROPERTY.
The Great Falls Ice Company Makes
an Application.

The Great Falls Ice Company, through
its President, T A. Lambert, has applied
to the Commissioners for a ten years lease
of the wharf property along the Potomac
River front, at the foot of Tenth Street,
now occupied by its icehouses and other
wise occupied by the corporation.
This application was forwarded to the
Commissioners in view of the recent deci-
sion of the Supreme Court of the United
States which vested plenary control OF the
property along the river front in the COM
missioners. They are now engaged IN con-
sidering the matter of wharf rents and
privileges and will soon act in the matter
and announce the formulation of some de-
finite line of policy
In the mean time all kinds Of communi-
cations are being received from the var
ious property owners and others interested
in the river front. These requests and ap-
plications are being placed on file for refer
ence and at the proper time, the Commits
sioners state, all such papers will be con-
sidered and consultations held with the
persons sending them.

HORTON TO HANG.
Justice cInbaugh Fixes November IL
ns the Date for the Execution.

Justice ClnbauGh Fixes November 10
ns the Date for the Execution
George W. Horton, who killed Mrs. Jane
Nicholson in Armory Park on June "a last.
and who was convicted of murder On
May "a. was yesterday sentenced by Jus
4. ticc Clabaugh to be hanged on November
10 next. Horton heard his fate pro-
nounced with the same dogged indifference
which he exhibited throughout the eight
days of his trial.
The sentence was imposed by Justice
Clabaugh after he had overruled a motion
for new trial and arrest of judgment,
which had been filed by the defendant S
counsel. When the court convened
the defendant was brought into court
and took his seat Immediately behind
his counsel. His actions were much the
same as they were during the eight days
he was on trial for his life. In appearance
he was greatly altered. Covering his face
was growth of short beard AS on one or
two days during his trial, Horton wore
pair of spectacles. AS soon as ne took his
seat. he fixed his gaze upon the ceiling as
he had done on each day during the trial.
The counsel for the defence maintained
that the court had erred in its charge to
the jury, inasmuch as it practically took
away the privilege of returning a verdict
for manslaughter 1t was contended that
the instruction of the court that the three
main verdicts to be considered were guilty
by reason of insanity, guilty as indicted,
which involved the death penalty, and
guilty as indicted without capital punish
ment, although the court stated that a
verdict of manslaughter might be consid
cred, virtually precluded its consideration
by the jury.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Wells argu-
ment, who was the only one of the de-
fendant's attorneys who spoke on the sub
iect, Justice Clabsugh overruled the mo-
tion without waiting to hear from the
counsel for the Government.
The defendant was then called upon to
stand and be sentenced. While Horton
was standing Justice Clabaugh asked:
George w. Horton, have you anything
to say why sentence of death shall not be
imposed upon you?"
The defendant. looking squarely at the
, justice, and without the slightest quiyer
in his voice, answered, Nothing"
Justice Clabaugh then sentenced Horton
to be hanged on Friday, November 10.
next. Horton was then taken TO his cell
ir the basement of the building by Deputy
Marshals Wilkinson and Cook.
The counsel for the defendant gave no.
tice that an appeal from the judgment OF
the court would be taken TO the Court of
Appeals for the District.
None of Horizons relatives was in the
courtroom during the proceedings.

THE FIRE ALARM SYSTEM. "a
An order Modified by the District
Authorities.


Many merchants and business men hav-
ing fire alarm boxes in their establishments
will be interested in an order issued by the
District Commissioners yesterday which
will permit the Instantaneous Fire Alarm
Company to retain its wires within the
District until the next session of Congress,
under certain restrictions.
1t will be remembered that during last
November an order was issued by the
Commissioners directing the company to
establish central bureau in the city and
to have all it's wires converge there. in
stead CT connecting with the various alarm
boxes of the District fire alarm system.
An effort was made during the last session
of Congress to secure legislation whereby
wires might be strung by the company.
Since then the Commissioners have real
lied that many of the large establishments
which are connected with the lnstantan-
eous Company's boxes would be seriously
embarrassed by the removal of its wires
at the present time, hence the modifying
order yesterday, which reads as follows:
That the order of November 2I. 1893. requir-
ing that all the connections OF the Instantaneous
Fire Alarm Company, Of Washington, with the
District fire alarm boxes, must be removed by
the SOth instant, Is hereby modified as TO
allow such boxes as have not at this time been
disconnected to remain until said company shall
have had an opportunity 10 secure legislation au-
thoTizing the placing OF such wires as may he
necessary to connect such boxes with its central
Office but not later than the close Of the next
session of Congress; Provided. however, that said
company agrees on its part to require Of its sub
scrihers that whenever an alarm is sent from
any instantaneous fire alarm box not dsc0n-
nected, the subscriber for such box shall cause
a messenger to be sent at to the District
fire alarm box with which such subscribers box
is connected, 10 notify the Fire Department Of
the exact location Of the fire. Failure to COM
ply with this requirement viii be regarded as
sufficient cause for the removal of the attach
ment from the District box.

WATER METERS IN CHURCHES
Much Opposition TO the Order of the
Comm IS iOners.

Much opposition has developed among
church officials in various parts of the city
to the recent order of the Commissioners
requiring all churches to install water me-
ters Already no less than dozen churches
have complained against the installation OF
metres, presenting various grounds upon
which they claim they should not be re-
quired to use them. In most cases it is
maintained that the flow of water through
meters will lessen its pressure and tend
to prevent the operation of motors at
tached to pipe organs.
The latest communication of this charac-
ter is signed by Lewis C. White, of 902 D
Street southwest and written in behalf of
the Ryland Methodist Episcopal Church.
He asked that the officials of that church
be relieved of the necessity of installing
a meter on condition that they pay an an
nual rental of SIS for the use of Potomac
water.
The Commissioners have decided that
they cannot. comply with the request and
have informed Mr.. White that they will
insist upon compliance with the recent or
der. The object of the meter, as stated by
the Commissioners, is TO check the vast
ing of water.
