street Committee Propose. to 1nau-
Eurntc a system for the Return OF
the Current to Prevent E1ectro1y-
.is-Doub1e Trolley System May
BE Recommended.

TIRE decision of the Council Committee
on Streets yesterday afternoon with re1es-
ence to electrolysis was that the Ben
Telephone Company should have the rlsi1t
to bond its conduits or cables with tue
ira cks of the street-car companies Tor
Temporary protection. and that the COM
mittee would recommend to the City
Council that steps be taken at once to
compel the Richmond Passenger ana
Power Company and the Richmond Irac-
ton Company to provide metallic cir
cult for the return Of the escaping current
to the power houses to prevent the actloi
of e1ectro1ysis on the gas and water mains
belonging to the city and to the wires 10
the underground conduits.
AN IMPORTANT QUESTION
This decision means that in a snort
time some scheme will be undertaken that
will mean an expenditure of a large sum
of money by the owners OF the trolley
lines in the city. It has long been recog-
nized in other cities that the hazard 70
water and gas mains from eiectroiysls
is so great that it is one OF the most
important questions that can be consider
ed. If something is not done before many
ace, thousands of dollars worth of gas
and water mains, chiefly the latter. Will
be rendered useless, and the city Will pc
put to the expense OF renewing large
mains that should last centuries II pro-
tected.
Other cities. both larger and smaller
than Richmond, have combatted the Gan
ger successfully, and Richmond VIII 40
so, too since the matter has been brought
- Of oa
tee in such a practical manner.
ACTION IN VEI.- RAPID.
At the meeting of the committee las-
night piece of a cable that was recently
taken out of one of the ducts OF the Bell
Telephone Company was almost destroy
ed although it has not been in the ground
as long as two months. It was stated in
the meeting yesterday afternoon that II
the committee did not grant the telephone
company the right to bond the manholes
at Eleventh and Broad streets. and at
Sixth and Main streets. that 1t would
be matter Of only three or four weeks
before it would be necessary for the COM
pany to renew the cables
This statement staggered the committee.
and it was then ready to vote on the ques-
ton When it did so, the vote was as
follows:
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Adams, Bahen.
Burton. Phillips, and Otway S. Allen.
Ncgative-Messrs. Mann, Peters, and
West.
DOUBLE TROLLEY SYSTEM.
It is expected that the committee viii
now take up the consideration of what
system to adopt for the return of the cleo
trio current to its source, but this Will
not be done until the two companies in
the city have had a hearing. There seems
no doubt that the committee will recon-
mend to the Council that the companies
be instructed to install the double trolley
system. The committee will take the mat
ter I'D within the next few weeks. 49,

ALMOST A MYSTERY.
FOUND ON PINE sTREET-HEAD
CUT AND UNCONSCIOUS.
FRANK PALMER CAME FROM BLUEHILI
FOR SAILORS, AND "FELL BY
THE wAysIDEn--HIs Cap
TAIN coMEs AFTER HIM.

Groans near the corner OF Pine and
Franzlin street attracted the attention OF
Arthur i. Grant, marble worker, ON his
way home about 8 O'Clock last night. In
the middle OF the street Mr.. Grant dis
covered man with badly cut head and
unconscious.
The indications were that the man had
been thrown from n wagon. Help was
| summoned, and he was taken to the Elm
| wood house on Water street, and physi-
clan, DIR. King, called. A deep scalp wound
was found, and there are indications that
q fracture of the skull may exist; this
cannot be definitely known without sur
gical exploration.
| DIR. L. Hodgkin was called In consulta-
| tion this afternoon, and II the consent OF
Capt. Black Is obtained, an operation may
be performed to determine the extent OF
the injury.
The man had evidently been drinking,
and 1t was anticipated that when he got
| over the effects OF liquor, he would be
| able to give an account OF himself. But
up to noon to-day he was still deIirious.
| This morning two-sested wagon was
found ON High street, and later on word
came In from West Ellsworth that a
strange horse had put In an appearance
with parts of q harness attached.
Whether the horse ran away and threw
the man from the wagon, or whether he
fell out going up Pine street, is not
known.
Various rumors were set afioat as to the
mans identity, and IT was not until about
noon to-day that II was discovered. On
his clothing was found part OF a letter,
enough to indicate that the man was Fred
Palmer. From his appearance he was
supposed to be a sailor.
Inquiry by telephone finsily located the
man. He is mate OF the schooner "Charies
J. :Wllisrd," Capt. Black, OF Portland.
now lying at the White Granite Co.'S
wharf, Bluehiil, loading with paving for
New York.
Yesterday Palmer was sent to Ellsworth
by Capt, Black to find a couple of sailors.
he got two-seated wagon at the PEN
dleton house stab bic, and started for Ells-
worth. Whether he got the sailors or
not Is not known, but the evidence is
pretty strong that he got drunk. The
probabilities are that he got started for
home In the wrong direction, and fell
from the wagon at the point on Pine
street where he was found.
Capt. Black, having discovered the
whereabouts OF his missing mate, is now
on his was to Ellsworth, and will prob
ably take the injured man back to Blue
hill.

Dear Sir: Suppose you are going TO paint a
house, and ask all the painters there are within
reach TO bid on it-you to furnish materials,
they TO ssy what to use. and charge for time and
the gnow-how
How many will use the came paint They.
generally. win compound their own paints
There will be no two alike. And this Is the
end OF the notion that painters know how TO
make paint
They know how 10 put paint on and that is
their business.
They ought TO know what to buy. How many
of them know what 70 buy2
A blacksmith buys nails, because better shoes
and nails than he can make are made for less
than be can make them for-by machinery.
wagonmakers buy wheels, because better
wheels than they can make are made for less
than they can make them for-by machinery.
Why should n painter make his own paint,
when he can buy better for less? We take the
risk OF how it turns out, besides. Devoe lead
and zine Is the paint lasts twice as long as the
average painters paint-lead and oil.
Yours truly,
