Incandescent Lights.

The Mayor this morning in speaking
of electric lights being supplied to our
citizens by the railway company ex-
pressed himself as being emphatically
opposed to the whole plan. 1t is true,
he said, that he had signed several in
dividual bills passed by the City Counci {,
but he did it in direct opposition to his
better Judgment and only because he
was sincerely averse to antagonizlng che
unanimous voice of the City Council,
and further because he naturally sup
posed that there would not be a continu-
ance of the injurious and reprehensible
practice. lie believes that the charter
of the railway company does not invest
it with the privilege of disposing of cur
rent for illuminating purposes, as 1t
would be comprehensive grant indeed
if a railway were empowered to use cur
rent for the propulsion of cars and also
for the lighting of cities. If, however,
electricity can be lawfully furnished our
people by the company, then such sci
vice should be source of revenue to our
people as NuOlc, loi lHO OiON'iNi'J
thus supplied is only, after ali, the SUI =
plus which the company would other
wise waste and, therefore, what IS clear
gain to the company should, at least, be
divided with our city. Electricity Is
said to be more costly to consumers than
gas, and this being true, it is easy to
perceive that the railway company
would derive a handsome revenue with
the popular use of electric lights by our
citizens. The Mayor concluded by say
ing that matters of this character should
be boldly and independently considered,
and that an ordinance should be passed
that would put at least one half of the
proceeds from electric lights into the
city treasury and that would require the
railway company to report the names Of
all electric light patrons andth amounts
paid by them for the use of such light

Bridge Plans Changed.

Secretary Root has ordered change
in the plans for the superstructure Of the
projected highway bridge across the Po-
tomac 50 that it will be similar in form
to the bridge that the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company is building near by.
As the original design for the railroad
bridge was changed for the sake Of max
ing the skyline straight and continuous,
at the instance of Architect Burnham,
who was consulted by Mr.. Root, the
Secretary of War has decided that it is
only fair to require a similar effect on
the government bridge. The railroad
company had intended to use plain
Howe truss, but the spandrels over the
piers will be filed with cosss: The
army engineers had planned a chow
string" or arched truss, which they re-
9 .rded as more ornamental than the
rectangular Howe truss.

River Notes.

There is nothing of special interest to
note in affairs on the river. The Nor
folk, Baltimore and river steamers arrive
and depart on schedule time without
having anything Of Importance to report.
A fog settled on the river shortly after
the sun rose this morning and for a
time interfered with navigation.
Barge No 81 of the Standard Oil Com
pany, a new vessel, is now at this port.
She is capable of carrying several thou
sand gallons of oil, and is equipped
with powerful pumps to aid in loading
and unlo lding. She is constructed entirely
of steel, even to her deck houses, and Is
as near fireproof as she can be made. IT
is understood that the barge will be used
exclusively for the transportation of oil
from Baltimore and Philadelphia to this
city and Washington.

Slow w ork.

CITY Engineer Dunn today entered
formal complaint with the Mayor against
the electric railway company and their
contractor engaged in laying tracks and
doing other work on King street, charg-
inc that the work is being unnecessarily
delayed and that not sufficient force OF
men is engaged to complete the work in
a reasonable time. The Mayor notified
Superintendent Colvin of the railway
company, and Mr.. Weadon, the con-
tractor for the work, of the City Engl-
neer's charge, and notified them that he
would at once take steps to have the
work done more expeditiously, or fine
them for obstructing the street.
The work of the city contractors Is
progressing satisfactorily. The PAYERS
have reached Alfred street and the cob
blestones have been removed as far up
as Henry street. The new curbing Is
be;nc laid from that thOroughfare to

Held for Examination.

Among the cases before the Mayor this
morning were those Of two young men
who were suffering from temporary
alteration of mind superinduced by the
abuse of stimulants. They will be held
for medical examination. Such cases
are not uncommon OH the dockets of all
police courts, and the victims are gene
rally young men who having been bitten
by the most venomous Of serpents mag
inc the entire ophidian creation is in
their paths. They are sad pictures and
terrible object lessons to all who per-
sist in following the broad road which
inevitably leads to the wreck OF both
body and mind.
