Capt. Beach, the District Engineer Com
missioner, has recommended to his asso-
ciates that rule be adopted requiring sep
arate electrical connections for each house,
the same as are required for sewer, water
and gas connections. and 1t Is expected that
his recommendation will be adopted. The
captains recommendation was made in the
case Of the United States Electric Lighting
Company, which corporation requested
permission to hang an incandescent arc
lamp In front OF 1417 H street northeast
The permit clerk. explaining that the prem
ises in question are not connected with the
conduit in the roadway, anu that Mr W.
c. AHen, the electrical engineer had in
formed him that the connection was to be
made from premises 1415 H street, the lat
ter being connected with the conduit asked
Capt. Beach whether the permit could be
issued. Mr.. Allen stated that there are a
great many instances here where several
houses are supplied with current from a.
single connection and remarked that he
saw no reason why premises 1417 H street
should not be connected with the service
running to the adjacent premises SO long
as the wiring Is done in compliance with
the rules and regulations of the board of
fire underwriters. The papers in the case

ROBBERY ON STEAMSHIP.
Specie Room on Kaiser Wilhelm der
Crosse Broken Open.

Specie Room on Kaiser Wilhelm der
Crosse Broken Open.
BREMERHAVEN, April 10.-It Is off,
cially announced that three bars OF gold
were stolen during the voyage of the North
German Lloyd steamer Kaiser Wilhelm der
Crosse, which left New York April and
arrived at Cherbourg April Q. The COM
pany has offered reward Of 10000 marks
for their restitution or for the discovery
of the thieves.
NEW YORK, April 10.-The robbery at
sea of the specie room of the North Ger
man Lloyd liner Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse
seems a mysterious crime. Apparently
there has been complete failure to locate
either the missing gold bullion or the men
who took it, although the search of pas
sengers and ship at Bremen again this
morning may furnish material for the in
vestigations. Three bars of gold. aggre-
eating in value SD, $50, shipped by the Ma
tional City Bank of New York, were stolen
from cask No. 4 of the specie room some
where between this port and Cherbourg.
The advices to Oelrichs & Co., agents for
the company, came in German, and on the
point as to whether the specie room was
broken open or entered by beating the lock
admits of translation either way. The
specie room of the Kaiser Wilhelm der
Crosse is irOnbOund and almost as strong
as a vault.
The bars Of gold were packed in oak
casks. bound with iron hoops. Thousands
of dollars in gold were within the reach Of
the man who forced his way into the strong
room. but only the sum named was taken
At the office of the North German Lloyd
agents this morning the following state
ment was given to the Associated Press:
Three bars of gold valued al $22 75O were
taken from the specie room of the Kaiser
Wilhelm der Crosse somewhere between
here and Cherbourg- The bars were taken
from cask No. 4, but we have no idea as
how robbery Shed
Our advices are but brief and do not show
how the room was entered. The gold was
shipped by the National City Bank Of New
York. We understand 1t was insured, but
the question Of responsibility will be pass
ed upon later The ship Is due at Bremen
today and we may hear further from
there. We have not recovered the gold
and this office has no knowledge of the
thieves. The specie room is strong safe
one secured by patent lock- to which there
were but two keys. The chief officer kept
one key. the purser the other. We will
make every possible effort to recover the
money and catch the thieves"
