complainant, Oeser, with others. filed a
petition with the Commissioners some

"As Congress is given exclusive legis-
latiye powers over the District, we
should naturally turn to the laws en-
acted by that body to find some provision
by which this question and similar CUES
tons relating to kindred subjects might
be answered in an orderly and authorita-
tive manner. By the act OF January e.
1887. the Commissioners are authorized
TO regulate the storage OF highly in
fammable substances in the thickly pop
ulated portions Of the District. BY an
other section they seem to have power
to prohibit the use of explosives in the
District. These powers. together with the
powers previously conferred on The Com
missioners to make and enforce such

PROMPT ACTION
Thoroughly Cures Every Form of

The Pyramid Pile Cure has been a pleas
ant surprise to thousands of sufferers, be-
cause of the instant relief it gives and
the prompt cure which follows its regular
use, and this is done without the use of
'opiaies. cocaine, narcotics or poisons OF
any Kind, as careful analysis shows the
Pyramid Pile Cure 20 be wholly free from
any injurious drug whatever.
Hundreds of people who had almost de-
cided 10 undergo an operation believing
nothing else would cure them have been
as.Gnished to find that fifty cent box of
the Pyramid was far safer, better. and
possibly be.
The Pyramid Pile Cure allays the in

duces the tumors. and by its astringcnt
properties causes the enlarged blood YES

Mrs. Hinkley, OF Indianapolis, was told
by her physician that nothing but a surgi-

$500 could cure her, she had suffered
fifteen years, yet even in such a case the
Pyramid pile Cure accomplished a com

NOT ASOURCE OF DANGER
Decision Regarding the Standard
Oil Company's Tank.
The Injunction Recently Asked For
by Citizens Denied by Justice Bar

Doe. Not show That the Health of
the NeighbOrhOod II JeOpardized.

In the case of John e.. Oeser and VIII
liam ]. Downey against the Standard Oil
Company Justice Barnard yeste-lay an
,nounced his decision denying the petition
of the compliments, asking that the de-
PENDANT be restrained from using Ger
tain oil tank constructed upon its PREM
Uses in South Washington about three
years ago. 1t was alleged by the petition
ers that the use OF the oil tank in qnes-
ton by the oil company was both danger
Gus to the property in the Immediate
vicinity and unheaithful 20 the residents
of that neighborhooj.
The litigation has been one Of long
standing before the local courts. In
February, 1897, Messrs. Oeser and Dow
ney filed a petition in the Supreme
Court Of the District of Columbia, asking
that the Standard Oil Company not only
be restrained from using the oil tank re-
ferred to. which was then in course of con-
struction. but also from operating It's en-
tire plant as then and now located. The
matter came up for preliminary hearing
and a temporary restraining orier was
granted the compliments. An appeal from
this judgment was taken by the standard
Oh Company to the Court Of Appeals and
there the restraining ori.r was modified
80 as TO permit the Stal lad Oil Company
10 continue IT,; business w..hogt inie!tup-
ton. but the order restraining il from the
rise of the oil tank then in construction
when II should be completed was contin-

Both parties were then required 10 take
testimony preparatory to the matter COM
ing UP for final hearing. About eighteen
months was taken up in the collection OF
testimony end in August last. after ar

Brandenburg representing the Standard
Oil Company. and c. Maurice Smith and

Barnard, who yesterday announced his &c
cision.
The premises now occupied by the
Standard Oil Company are practically the
same as those used by the Baltimore Uni
ted Oil Company in 1891 and prior TO that
date. In 1891 the latter company applied
20 the Commissioners for permission to
remove its buildings and tanks. The Fire
Marshal made a report on the matter on
