At the pOOrhOuse in Ahmadabad my
attention was first directed To 200 ap-

24 hours under observation To deter

Out Of l45 patients in the hospital Is
had that day been incinerated. In walk
ing through the wards we discovered
six dead bodies on the cots.
The next day called again and
found five more dead bodies on the cots
and in response TO an inquiry learned
that those who died after the cOrpses
are removed in the morning remained
on the cots in the hospital until even

Life Saved, but She Says She VIII Yet
Succeed.

Mrs Mary Gooding who lives at No. 522
18th street northwest, attempted suicide
yesterday afternoon by taking carbolic
acid. Her life was saved by the physi-
clans at the Emergency Hospital and she
politely informed them that she did not
thank them for what they had done.
I'll try it again." she said, land then
I'll succeed"
Mrs. Gooding Is twenty-seven years old,
and is the wife of Richard r. Gooding, who
is employed as a waiter in a restaurant on
Pennsylvania avenue. Since their marriage
three months ago they have lived at Mrs.
Williamson's boarding house, on 11th street.
Yesterday afternoon Mrs. Gooding return
ed home from visit to friends house,
and instead of stopping to chat with Mrs.
Williamson, she went directly to her room.
few minutes later the womans agonizing
cries were heard, and Mrs. Williamson and
others in the house hurried to the room to
ascertain the cause of the trouble. They
found the unfortunate woman lying on the
bed, her face blistered and her mouth
burned. Beside the bed was bottle label
ed "carbolic acid
1t was apparent that the woman had
swallowed some of the acid. and phySi-
clan was called in. Seeing the serious con-
dition of the patient, he directed that the
moned, in the meanwhile doing what he
could to ease the woman's pain.
1t was some time after the hospital was
reached before the doctors had the patient
on the road to recovery. The woman
husband called at the hospital soon as
he was informed of the affair, and remain
ed with her until she was out Of danger.
Mrs. Gooding says she took the acid be
cause she was tired of living. She said
she had been alone much of her married
life and she was tired of it. The husband
says they have lived happily together and
he cannot understand why his wife at
tempted Self-destruction.

CITY ELECTRIC LIGHTING
AUDITOR RECOMMENDS MONTHLY
ARRANGEMENT BE MADE.
Suggests That No Contract BE Made
Until Rate Controversy
is Settled.

The auditor of the District, Mr.. ]. T.
Petty, has recommended to the Commits
sioners that no contract be eXacted from
the United States Electric Lighting Com
pany for furnishing the municipality with
the arc electric light service during the
current fiscal year. ana that the company
be paid monthly, in accordance with the
arrangement made between it and the Dis
trict.
1t will be recalled that when the pro-
posals for supplying this service were
opened last spring it was found that this
company, the only bidder, offered to fur
nlsh the arc lights for the sum of S115.64
per lamp per annum. This proposal, how
ever. it was impossible for the Commission
erS to accept, for the reason that the law
Ghe current District appropriation aco pro-
vides that they shall pay not more than
$12 per lamp per annum. The Commission
ers, therefore, rejected the bid, and after
some correspondence between them and the
company the latter agreed to furnish the
lamps at the rate fixed by law. reserving,
however, the right to petition Congress at
the coming session to grant it higher
rate, the company contendng that in fur
nfshing the lights at the legal rate 1t was
doing SO at a loss.
The Commissioners finally accepted the
proposition, but suggested that the COM
pany enter into bond for the faithful per-
Torrance of the service. This the company,
in view Of the claimed low rate allowed 1t,
asked be waived, and at the suggestion of
the District electrical engineer the matter
was referred to the auditor who has rem
dered the following opinion:
The Auditors Views.
There Is a conflict of opinion between
the electric light company and the officials
of the District government as to the
amount of compensation to be allowed for
lighting electric arc lamps, which can only
be determined by judicial decision or by
the action Of Congress. The electric light
company is willing to accept payment at
the rate which the District claims is con-
templated by the act making appropria-
tons for the service but reserving the
right to appeal to Congress for the differ
ence between the amount allowed, and that
which is claimed to be due
IF Congress appropriates therefor, the
increase will be paid, but If it fails. after
lowance, then the amount paid is to be
considered by the company a full discharge
of all obligation in this respect on the part
of the District of Columbia. In view of all
the facts. I have the honor to recommend
that pending action by Congress. no con-
tract be exacted but that regular monthly
payments be made in accordance with the
foregoing understanding, for which action
there are several presidents, notably in the
cases Of the Washington Gas Light Com
pany and the chesapeake and Potomac
Telephone Company"
1t is expected that the recommendation of
the auditor will be approved by the Com
missioners.

Fathers the Presidents Alleged Ut

In reference to the recent denial of the
u. A r. pensions committee of a statement
made by Mr.. D. l. Murphy of an alleged
utterance of President Mckinley, that 1.-The
noneyed interests Of the country were OPP
posed to further expansion of the pension
roil,' and in the denial say that cit is a
cruel and wicked wrong to put into the
mouth Of the President the words ascribed
to him in the interview" Mr.. Murphy as
serts that 1.-The cruel and wicked wrong"
must be charged to General Palmer, who,
he says, came fresh from the conference at
the White House and quoted the Presidents
words to number of gentlemen here in
Washington. Mr.. Murphy also quotes from
a letter of Mr.. Charles Hanback,, an ex-
soldier. as follows:
In the Continental Hotel, Philadelphia,
on September 10, 1899, General John Palm
er of New York informed me that Mr.. Ev-
ans would not be removed by the Presi-
dent, stating that a subcommittee Of the
committee on pensions of the G. A. r. had
called on the President in the White
House on the day before and had urged
Evans retirement; that Mr.. Mckinley said
he would not remove Mr.. Evans; that
there was no reason for his removal; that
the moneyed interests were opposed to any
enlargement of the pension rolls.
