HAVE RIGHT TO GRANT PERMIT.

Commissioners May Allow Coneen-
tration of street Railway Power.
The right of the United States Electric
Lighting Company to connect the con-
duits of the metropolitan and Columbia
Railways at Fourteenth Street and New
York Avenue northwest, is the subject of
an opinion submitted to the District Com
missioners by their Attorney today.
1t appears from the correspondence re-
lating TO the matter that the company is
erecting in its power station, at the cor
ner of Fourteenth and 3 Streets north
west, a large railway generator, from
which il is intended 10 furnish current
to operate the Metropolitan Street Rail
way and other lines belonging to the
Washington Traction Company. 1t is also
stated to be the intention of the company
to abandon the Street power station,
from which the electric current is now
supplied to the Metropolitan road.
The cables for carrying the current viii
Light Company as far as the various
points where It's conduit system connects
with the eonduits of the Metropolitan
Railway Company. The connection sought
in the application which the Attorney
considers. is for the purpose Of furnishing
power from the railway circuit to the Few
apartment house at the corner of Tween
tieth Street and Wyoming Avenue
With this statement of the case before
him the Attorney says that applications
for connecting railroad ccRduits with
private premises have been heretofore de-
MED On the ground that railway COM
panies are not authorized under their
contracts TO supply current for power
purposes. other than for the use of rail
roads The Attorney states further that
the electric current in the present case
viii be supplied, not by the railroad com
pany but by the United States Electric
Lighting Company. the latter simply oc-
cupyiag the Hcouduits OF the railroad com
panies with its wires.
The Attorney says there is no serious
legal objection TO such occupation, the
question being one Of administration. The
Attorney then refers to a clause of the
District appropriations act, approved
March 3, 1893, in which the Commission
ers are authorized TO grant permits for
the repair, enlargement and extension of
existing electric conduits. under proper
regulations.
Basing his opinion upon this act. the
Attorney advises the Commissioners that
they have authority to grant the permit

NO TRACE OF MALVIN.
Alleged Negro AssafIant of Edna
West still at Large.

The police of this city are convinced
that James MaIYin. the negro who is
suspected Of the brutal assault on Edna
West. coIored. at her home on Christmas
night, has left the city and gone to his
former home. Sparrow's Point. Md A
diligent search has been made in every
alley in the Northwest section of the city
in which the negro is said to have vis-
tied. but no Information could be obtained
as TO his whereabouts
The woman was removed to Freedman
Hospital after the assault. and has been
in an unconscious condition ever since
The doctors stated that she had regained
consciousness for while yesterday. but
soon fell into a stupor and afterward into
a deep sleep They think that her wounds
will prove fatal. Several unsuccessful
efforts were made to obtain a statement
from her
The police have issued several hundred
circulars. with a description of the ne
gro, and have mailed them to all the
neighboring villages, including TurnbuiI
Fauquier county, Va, and Chester, Pa,
at which places the negro formerly
worked. A detective from this city will
probably leave this city today to go to
Sparrow's Point in search of the negro.

The preliminary hearing Of Nelson
G. Jones of Shoreham on the charge
of numbering Miss Ida NJ. Fosburgh on
Mar. u by sending her poison through
the mails was begun AT the Addison
county court house in Middlebury
Thursday before Justice O. Z. Moore.
States Attorney James b. DonowaY
of Middlebury conducted the prose-
cution, assisted by w. II. Bliss and w.
II. Davis. W. B. c. Stickney of
Bethel and Frank L. Fish OF Vergen-
mes defended Jones.
The only new things brought to
light in the first days hearing came
out in the testimony of DR.. Berry, the
Waterbury pathologist, who examined
Miss Fosburgh's body. Dr. Berry
stated positively that he found a suf-
iicient quantity OF strychnine in the
body to produce death. lie was very
careful and precise in his testimony
and made the most of his statements
from notes which he took at the time
OF his various examinations and tests.
1t is now established that Ida Fosburgh
died of strychnine poisoning an March
II and that 10 grains of strychnine
were sent her by Druggist Spooner of
Brandon on March Z. 1t remains to
be proven by the state that Nelson
Jones intercepted the poison and sent
it to Miss Fosburgh under a new wrap
per. or that he had any motive for do
ing such thing.
Albert w. Higgins, Rutland drug
gist, testified to having received last
winter from Nelson Jones an order
for four ounces OF blood root, with a
dollar enclosed. He returned the
money after a request from Jones,
whose order was mislaid. IL was
stated by DR.. Berry that Miss Fos-
burgh was pregnant at the time of
death and also at some previous time.
Jones is bound over TO county court
in s. 900 bail. which was furnished by
his father He is held on the second
count of the warrant, which charges
attempted abortion.

IMPORTANT TO FARMERS.
.creamerles and the MIX Test System

| Creameries and the Milk Test System.
The creameries are in full swing
again and the Babcock tester huns
merrily. The patron, however, does
not hum as merrily when he gets his
creamery check.
There are several reasons why his
song is apt to be pitched in a minor
key. His cows may be no good. or his
feeding practice poor, or his barns
may be ill-constructed. Often, how
ever, the test seems at fault, and
that brings on some vigorous Ian
guage.
The creamery may or may not be
wrong in this matter. If samples are
properly taken after prolonged stirring
or by means OF the automatic device (;
if the operator is licensed ard the
glass apparatus is tested according to
the state law; if the centrifugal ma
chine is OF the steam type and is run
full speed and full time if the operator
is honest as well as competent and
does as well as he knows; ii he uses a
balance 10 weigh the cream into the
test bottles before testing; il figures
are returned as made and not juggled
with then the results are probably
right and the patron should look for
the beam in his own eye.
The creamery patron, however,
should make sure on all these points.
He should insist on accurate sampling.
If he is selling separator cream he
should not rest until the cream is
weighed instead of being measured
into the test bottle, since thus only can
justice be done cream carrying 20
or more per cent of fat 1t means a
little more bother to the operator, but
is entirely practicable and 'he appara-
tus is inexpensive. And it means the
difference between right and wrong.
A good many patrons, doubtful as to
the accuracy of creamery returns, send
samples to the Vermont Experiment
station for its free analysis. The
station gladly responds to these calls.
but urges
(D-That requests be made in adj
vance for directions for sampling, in
