LUNACY PROCEEDINGS.
Inquiry Into Mental Condition OF
Eight Persons.

INQUIRIES were commenced late this after
| noon, before Justice Cole, in the room OF
Criminal Court No. 2, city hall, to deter
mine the mental status of William Michel
bacfer Elizabeth Hart, Eleanor P. Seton,
Isabel English and Mary II. Daley, all
white and John Butler Annie Forrest and
Lizzie Carter. colored. The inquiries were
had at the request of the Commissioners of
the District of Columbia, who caused petit
tons to be filed in the clerks office a few
DAYS ago in which the parties mentioned
are alleged to be lunatics of homicidal and
otherwise dangerous tendencies, and there
fore are not proper subjects to be at large
in the District. Attorney A. Leftwich Sim
clair appeared for the Commissioners.
William Michelbacher is the young man
who was arrested about ten days ago upon
complaint of DIR. Thomas Coleman at Freed
mems Hospital. The doctor stated that he
had shown signs of insanity while at the
hospital and became very violent. He says
that Michelbacher declared while there that
he would not live long and that if he should
take a notion to kill himself he would rather
it should happen in the hospital than on the
street. After being placed under arrest
Mchelbacher implored the officers to kill
him, saying he did not care to live.
Upon reaching the station the unfortunate
man was turned over to the sanitary officer,
at whose request he was examined by Po-
reached the conclusion that Michelbacher
was suffering from dementia and recon-
mended that he be placed in the insane asy-
lum.
Mrs. Elizabeth Hart is about fifty-fve
years of age and resides at 726 4th street
Her mind, it is stated, became unbalanced
a few days ago at her home and it became
necessary to have her taken to the house of
detention. The matron at that institution
made an effort to care for her, but was I'M
able to restrain her, and she was then re-
moved to one of the police stations, where
she was examined by the police surgeons
and declared by them to be insane and in
need of treatment. The woman was there
upon committed to St. EliZabeth's Asylum
on temporary permit to await the judicial
determination of her mental condition Mrs
Hart is the widow of William Hart, who
died about two years ago. He held an i'm
portant position in the Washington Gas

bands death she has had everything calcu-

AN ADVERSE OPINION.
Attorney DuvaII DfsapprOves Petition
for n Water Main.

The attorney for the District Mr.. A. b.
Duvall, has rendered an adverse opinion on
the petition of Catherine German that
water main to be laid on the north side of
Virginia avenue southwest, between Sd and
~. streets. 1t is stated that the present
water main is in the middle of Virginia ave-
nue. between the tracks of the Baltimore
and Potomac Railroad Company; that it is
very inaccessible for service connection
and is menace to the safety Of the tracks,
which might be seriously damaged, the at
torney says. in case of break in the main.
1t is claimed that this water main has
been rendered practically useless because
of its location, with reference to the rail-
road tracks, and that under the recent act
of Congress to eliminate grade crossings,
etc. the portion of Virginia avenue referred
TO- and over which the railroad tracks now
run. will be covered by solid masonry
construction about twenty feet In height.
which will render the use Of the main i'm
possible. and that in view of these facts
the railroad company should bear the
pense of replacing ii in the north side of
Virginia avenue.
The attorney declares that the expense
of the removal and relocate of the water
main could only be charged to the railroad
company pursuant to some law or ordi-
nance. and it is accordingly suggested that
it was within the following provision of
the corporation ordinance approved May
more and Potomac Railroad Company to
lay it's tracks under certain streets:
That any street or avenue under which
the said railroad company may pass shall
be bridged or otherwise covered by the said
company at their proper expense, and
whenever sewers, cutters, curbstones or
sidewalks. or tagged footways, gas or wa
ter pipes are disturb ed or moved by the
said company the same shall be rebuilt in
a proper and satisfactory manner, at the
expense of the railroad company, and with
out cost or loss to any citizen or the cor
poration of Washington
The attorney says he is unable to see how
this provision has any bearing upon the
present question. The tracks In question
were located in Virginia avenue under the
ordinance quoted subsequent to the laying
of the water main, and without in any way
involving its disturbance or removal The
attorney concludes by saying that the eX-
pense Of removing the water main is not
properly chargeable to the railroad COM
pany.

DISASTER BARELY AVERTED
INCIDENT ANTEDATING THE LATE
INAUGURAL BALL.
Electric Wire Caused o Blaze Which
Mt One Time Threatened
Pension Building.

Now that the Inauguration ball and the
concerts are things of the past, and the
great hall of the pension building has prac-
tically resumed its normal condition, it Is
interesting to know that for few moments
Sunday evening last 1t looked very much as
If there would be no Inauguration ball.
That is, none in the pension building. For
had it not been for the promptness and
good work of the detail of firemen there
that evening fire would have swept away
the magnificent decorations, if it had not
destroyed the great structure.
AS heretofore stated there was a detail of
twenty-siX men of the fire department at
the pension building, under command of
First Assistant Chief Belt. This force, COM
posed of men selected because of their ex-
per1ence, was equipped with all the neces-
sary fire-fghting appliances, and remained
at the building several days prior and sub
sequent to the ball. They were instructed
to be especially alert and observant during
the time the thousands of electric lights
were burning, it being impressed upon them
that during such period the likelihood Of a
fire would be greatest.
Sunday evening these lights were tested,
and it Is said that shortly after the cur
rent was turned on a globe incasing one
of the lights on the south side of the i'm
mense hail, about midway of the building.

stanty the light material caught fire. and

rection.
Fortunately the fire was observed the
moment it started, and a shrll whistle,
the agreed-upon signal for the firemen,
called them in a second, almost, to the
scene. Each man came rushing up with
fire extinguisher or some like fire-fghting
appliance, and in a minute or two the
flames were extinguished-but not how
ever. until the bunting and drapery on
two of the pillars supporting the first gal
lery and between them had been swept
clean by the flames
The incident escaped the notice of even
many who were in the building, and in
Snort time new drapery and bunting dis
guised the bare spaces. Had it not been
for the prompt and effective work Of the
hremen. who ~were~ under the immediate
command of Foreman Boss of No. engine
company, the blaze would have spread
throughout the interior of the ball room,
and so damaged it, if, indeed it had not
destroyed the building itself, that the ball
would either have been abandoned or held
in some hastily arranged hall This, how
ever was not the only fire at the building
for 1t is said that the previous day flames
We're discovered in the rubbish beneath the
band stand. They are supposed to have
been due to lighted cigarette thrown there
by some workman. They We're quickly
seen and as quickly extinguished by the
hremen, however. and no damage resulted

THE COURT OF APPEALS.
Opinions Handed Down In Number OF
Local Cases.


Holding that the trial court did not err
in instructing the jury to render a verdict
for the defendant, and that it would have
been error to direct verdict for the plain
tiff, the Court of Appeals, by an opinion
written by Mr.. Justice Morris, 'affirms the
judgment of the lower court in the case of
Brooke Mackall, appellant, against VIII
lam Roy Mitchell.
The suit was one I'm ejectment instituted
by the appellant as plaintiff in the Supreme

cover the possession of a small triangular
piece of land in this city at the southwest
corner of 18th street and New York ave-
nue., constituting the acute angle of lot Z,
square DOB. and containing less than fifty
square feet of ground
The Court of Appeals, in an opinion writ
ten by Mr.. Chief Justice Alvey, has af
firmed the judgment of the court below in
the case of Richard w. Tyler against the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company. The ac-
ton was instituted November 70 1885 but
was not tried until June, 1900. 1t was
brought by Tyler against the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company for personal wrongs and
injuries committed against the plaintiff
while passenger on the Camden and At
lautic railroad in New Jersey and alleged
to have been operated and controlled by
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company. The
court below. upon the request of the de-
PENDANT, directed verdict to be entered
