As the administrator Of the contractor 8

NO RULE OF LAW.
DR.. Woodward Says Density Of Smoke
Cannot Be Limited.

A communication was recently addressed
by Mr.. A. T. Locke secretary Of the
Association OF Eccentric Engineers, to the
District Commissioners. asking to be in
formed what in the meaning Of the law
constitutes dense smoke" also what per
cent OF smoke must be consumed to meet
the requirements of the District ant-smoke
law. Or. William c. Woodward, the health
officer. to whom the communica ton was re-
ferred, has submitted statement, in which
he says that there is no rule Of law fixing
a limit to the density, thickness. blackness
or grayness OF smoke issuing from CHM
ney. He says the question whether any
particular smoke does or does not come
within the law has to be determined in each
case by the judge or by the jury upon con-
siderat ton Of the evidence offered.
DIR. Woodward also states that the in
spectors charged with the enforcement Of
the law refer for prosecution such cases as
In their judgment constitute violations of
the act. He says the question as to the
percentage of smoke consumed or arrested
Is immaterial for the purposes Of the act.
If dense or thick black or gray smoke Is
emitted from smokestack DR.. Woodward
says 1t makes no difference what proper
tion has been held back

At s o'clock this morning very danger
GUS gorge Of Ice had formed about one-half
mile south Of the aqueduct Of the canal,
near the mouth of the Monocacy river,
where 1t empties into the Potomac river
about a mile from Dickerson's. About 10
o'clock the gorge broke, the noise resem-
bling the boom Of an immense cannon. It
did no damage. 1t Is feared by many If
a gorge Is formed lower down the river
toward the falls that serious damage will
be done. and all the settlers along the river
are making preparations in case Of an
emergency to get out.
The break in the wires Of the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad, which destroyed commu-
nication between this point and Baltimore
and Washington for tWenty-four hours,

afternoon and train service commenced to

ern Union and the train wires Of the
Baltimore and Ohio were between this
point and Washington Junction. where
there were at least forty breaks in the
wires The Western Union wire between
Washington and Hagerstow Is still broken
just west Of Dickerson's and lies in the
Monocacy river. The telephone wires Of
the Boyd telephone are almost In shape
less mass at some points, the wires being
badly twisted and broken In a number OF
places. 1t will take at least two or three

commenced to assault the latter, kicking
him in the stomach and badly injuring him.
The engineer, Alb Engle heard the fracas
and came back. when he was also set upon

came to their assistance and succeeded in
knocking the fellow fnsensible. They left
him lying in the snow and proceeded with
the train and notified the county authori-
