FATALLH BsRNED.
Five-Year-OId Cht1d the Victim of an
Accident.

Norman Hullings. five years old, died
last night at the home Of his parents, No.
$50 "A street southwest from the effects
OF burns received about the head and body
late In the afternoon dThe boys burns
were accidentally received, ard resulted
from his playing withnmatches. Shortly
after returning home heswent UP stairs to
change his clothing,i and after the change
had been made he picked up several
matches and amused himself by lighting
them. When one ofFthem burned his finger
he dropped the lighted match and in this
way his waist caught fire.
The light material of which the gar
ment was made was soon a mass of flames
and the little victim, unable to extinguish
the blaze, ran to the street screaming for
assistance. His mother, who was in
rear room, was attracted to her son by his
outcrles and she succeeded in smothering
the names. but not before the boy hao
been fatally burned. He was unconscious
when Or. Winter, who was summoned,
reached the house. Consciousness was re-
stored and the burns bandaged after the
removal of the charred clothing. DR.. Win
ter did what he could to save the childs
life, but death resulted later in the night.
AS the boys death was purely an acc1-
dent Coroner hewitt will not hold an in
quest. His funeral will probably take place
tomorrow,

ATTEMPTS TO COMMIT SUICIDE.
Unknown Woman Found NaeonsciOus

Unknown Woman Found yae0nsciOus
Near Chevy Chase S3Fcle.
young woman whose identity the police
failed to establish was found in an uncon-
sctous condition near Chevy Chase Circle
shortly before z o'clock last night. She
had taken laudanum and gone, to Sc
cluded spot near the circle, where, 1t is
supposed, she thought she would die be-
fore anybody found her. Fortunately for
the young woman and her relatives, Mr.
Charles w. Fisher of Chevy Chase discov-
cred her before life was extinct. Drs
Morgan and Gray attended her. and she
was afterward removed to Garfield Hos.
pital, where the physicians relieved her of
the poison. She left the hospital this
morning without having revealed her iden-
t1ty, and the record shows that an I'M
known woman was treated.
While on his way home last night Mr
Fisher saw the Woman's feet protruding
from beneath some weeds, and when he
discovered that the woman was uncon-
scious, instead Of asleep, as he had sup
posed, he had her taken to his home and
the doctors were summoned. After she
had been given an antidote she was
brought to the city on car and was
taken to the hospital from Rock creek
bridge in an ambulance.
Soon after reaching the hospital the wo-
man was restored to consciousness, and
the doctors pronounced her out of danger
She refused to give any information con-
corning her name or family. This morn
ing about 6 o'clock a man called at the
hospital and took her away in a carriage
Her description tallies with that of the
woman who made similar attempt in
Washington Circle about two weeks ago.
According to the story of Miss Mary Con-
nor, VINO lives at 2505 1 street northwest
the girl attempted the rash act while in
mt OF dependency. She was in love af-
fair so she told Miss Connor, and it was
because of this, it is inferred that she de-
cided to end her life

will be presented. The feature of Tues
days meeting will be an address by the
Rev. Louis Albert Banks of New York
city, who will come to Washington espe-
cially for this occasion.

fraternal greetings from the representa-
tlves of the temperance organizations fed
Grated with the league. These will include
the Womens Christian Temperance Union,
the Good Templars, the Rechabites, the
Sons of Temperance and other societies.

evening, as that Is the usual time of hold
and it is not desired to conflict with them.
But the pastors have been requested to
hold Temperance prayer meetings" that
evening, considering topic related to the
temperance question. and offering prayer
for the overthrow of the liquor traffic.

The District Commissioners have received
complaint that at the street market
hucksters who buy vegetables at the whole
sale commission houses are occupying the
space which should rightfully belong to
the legitimate truck farmers, who bring
their produce direct from the country
Major Sylvester has recommended to the
Commissioners that the persons controlling
this market be requested to refuse a stand
TO all persons who may offer produce for
sale in advance of the season, and those
whom they suspect of forestalling the mar
ket, and then have the police make such
Investigation as may be warranted with
view of establishing whether the market
privilege should be taken from them

Fines Aggregate Thirty Dollars.

Peter Holmes, colored, who was en-
pioyed as cart driver by BARLEY Thorn
ton, a contractor, was prisoner in the
Police Court charged with assault and de-
stroying private property. The contractor
complained that the driver had been out
all day and had made but one trip. Holmes
alleged that the horse had refused to pull
the cart, and row followed.
Holmes, 1t was alleged, smashed his en-
ployer's dinner dishes with a pitchfork,
and made effort to assault him with the
same implement. The prisoner claimed
that his employer struck him first, and de-
MED that he broke any dishes. He ex-
planned that the trouble followed his de-
mand for 25 cents. when he was told that
his services were no longer required. Mr.
Thornton said he did not strike the colored
man. Judge Kimball held the defendant
guilty and imposed fines amounting to $780,
with the alternative of three months i'm
prisonment.

SERVICE SEWERS.
superintendent McComb Calls Atten.
ton to AIIessed Inequity.


Mr.. D. E. McComa. the superintendent
of sewers, has called the attention of the
District Commissioners to an absence OF
equity in the construction of service sew
ers In the District. 1t seems that it has
been the practice to charge against the
abutting property one-half the cost where
Pinch service sewers have been con-
structed in front of the premises. In cases
where the sewer constructed has exceeded
twelve inches IN diameter the District has
paid the entire cost, and the property has
not been assessed. This, to Mr.. McComb
is an unfair arrangement, and he suggests
that all property abutting on sewer be
taxed on the basis of the cost of d Finch
pipe. Mr.. McComb says:
Il respectfully invite attention to an alb
sence of equity in the construction of serv-
ice sewers. In consideration of the fact
that the larger sewers are more expensive
because they are required as outlets for
smaller sewers, it has seemed unfair that
they should be charged against the abut-
ting property, and the practice of the office
is to construct sewers of greater size than
twelve inches in diameter from the appro-
priation for main and pipe sewers or the
appropriation for suburban sewers. sew
ers twelve inches and under in diameter
are usually constructed under the assess
ment system, in which case one-half OF
the cost is taxed against the abuttlng
property. According to this practice prop
efty dbutCiHS upon StWtiS dpoNO 1"eiNe
inches in diameter is not taxed on account
of the sewer construction, although 1t re-
ceives as much benefit as property which
is taxed for the construction of sewers
under the assessment system. Again, I'M
der the assessment system the owner OF
the corner lot is, in many instances COM
PEELED to pay as much as five times the
amount assessed against the adjacent lot
of equal area, each receiving equal bene-
fit. In my opinion all properties abutting
upon a service sewer should pay proper
ton of its cost and assuming the average
cost of Pinch sewers as a foundation,
$50 for each 1000 feet of lot area would
Mace the change upon a fair basis.

Settled Out of Court.

In pursuance of a settlement out of court
the complainant today discontinued the
proceedings recently instituted by Mrs.
Katie Jorss against Louis H. Emmert and
Frank H. Lutz for the purpose of enjoin-
ing the defendants from proceeding with
the construction of a wall between houses
1449 and 1451 Bacon street. A temporary
restraining order was granted by Justice
Anderson few days ago, in pursuance of
the terms Of which the work in question
was suspended upon the charge being made
by Mrs. Jorss that the wall was upon her
property and was not party wall.
BY the terms of the settlement 1t is I'M
derstood, Mrs. Jorss has agreed for a
money consideration to allow the building
TO be completed. Mr.. E. H. Thomas rep
resented the defendants and Attorneys

AFFAIss IN aEoRGETowN.


The work on the Lydecker tunnel, so
fas as the Georgetown section is concerned,
Is understood to be progressing at a rapid
rate Work Is still in progress at the
Foundry and Rock Creek shafts, but the
main part of the refining Of the tunnel is
practically completed. 1t was expected
by some of the men that the tunnel would
be entirely completed by October of this
year. So far as the main conduit is con-
cerned this, it is said. will be true, but
the terminals will require little longer
time.
At the northeast corner of the lower or
distributing reservoir gate house to the
tunnel has been erected. 1t occupies the
corner of the property. The building is
like castle, two stories in height, with
its turrets projecting some distance above
the roof In order to facilitate the work
the water in the eastern half of the reseI-
voir has been let out to permit the maxi
Ing of the necessary CONNECTIONS with the
tunnel opening. A good deal of the ma
chinery which will regulate the flow Of
water is also in place.
