NO LAW FOR EXTENSION.
Response to Request for Introduction
of Electric Lighting.


of Electric Lighting.
Mr.. A. Gonard of 10 Q street northeast
has written to the District Commissioners
asking to be Informed of the law by which
the electric light company is prevented
from furnishing current to his premises.
The matter was referred to the electrical
engineer, Walter C. Allen, who has SUBJ
mitted the following report:
About six years ago posts were erected
q street between North Capitol and LIST
streets northeast, for carrying the wires for
the public incandescent lighting system,
and these are the only wires on that street
Since that time an effort was made by this
department to further extend the public
lighting system in that section, but the
matter having been referred to the attor-
ney for the District, 1t was decided that
the Commissioners had no authority to
make such extensions. This applies both
to wires for public lamps and for private
house connections. An effort made at
the last session of Congress to obtain the
necessary authority for the extension of
incandescent lights for the section east of
Rock creek and outside Of the fire limits
but without success"

SUFFERING AND SACRIFICE.
Pathetic Scene Witnessed Today in
the Police COnrf

Pathetic Scene Witnessed Today In
the Police Court.
"A pathetic case Of infantile suffering and
sacrifice was brought to the attention OF
Judge Scott in the Police Court today. 1t
was that of Annie Chilson, winsome lass
about seven years old, with big, laughing,
brown eyes, pink cheeks. wavy hair and
trim little figure. who was brought to court
by Sergeant Montgomery of the fourth pre-
cinct in order that she might be placed in
the care of the board of children's guar
dians.
Annie came here from her mothers home
in Bradford county, Pa, few days ago.
She was placed in charge of her uncle
Warren Chilson, a blind man, who walks
about the streets of the city soliciting
aims.
Upon her arrival Annie was appointed by
her uncle as his guide, and all day long it
is said. she has led the blind man about
the hot streets appealing to the charitable
to help her and her charge.
Yesterday afternoon about 4 o'clock An
ME and her uncle, hand in hand, were
walking down AZ street between and Ii
streets southwest. On the pavement right
in their path as they were about to step
across the street, lay a fragment of old
carpet
Step up said Annie, solicitously to
the blind man. as they approached the rag,
don't fall over this piece of carpet here"
The uncle, however, either did not hear
his guide or else resented her advice for
he struck the toe of his shoe on the pro-
truding edge of the carpet and almost fell
to the pavement Annie cried aloud in fear
and grabbed her uncle to prevent the fall.
She saved him, but instead of thanking
her the old man became furious and began
to berate her soundly, it is alleged, for
what he called her carelessness.
The child stopped and began to cry. Her
pitiful waiiings attracted crowd, which
soon began to sympathize with her A
policeman was called, and Sergeant Mont
gomery ran up Annie told him her story.
In court today Montgomery said to Judge
Scott that when he arrived on the scene
the girl was almost prostrated. Her face
was pale, her eyes hurt her and she could
hardly stand on account of the intense
heat. Annie told the policeman that her
uncle had been slapping her and had also
twisted her arm. Montgomery led her to
the police station and then had her sent to
the house of detention. When the uncle
and niece were up before Judge Scott today
the blind man was told to get out Of town
at once. The girl was placed in the care
Of the board of guardians.
