Further Test Suggested.

William 1. Evans inspector of elevators
of this District, has completed his inspec-
ton into the wearing qualities of the cast
steel and Swedish iron ropes used on the
elevators in the Mills building, occupied as
an annex to the Navy Department The
inspection was made for the purpose OF
ascertaining the relative qualities of the two
varieties of cable. Cast steel ropes were
used upon one elevator and Swedish iron
ones on the other.
1T was found says Mr.. Evans, that
neither of the ropes contains a broken wire
at this date The surface of the Swedish
iron ropes, however, shows considerably
more wear than the others. owing to the
fact that this elevator is continually oper-
ated from $50 in the morning until 4:3C
in the afternoon while the other is run only
about half an hour three times a day. Thus
1t can clearly be seen that the test Is MOI
a fair one and do not think the Distric
would be justified in taking it as a criterion
but would recommend, when the opportun
ity occurs, to place both the cast steel an6
Swedish iron ropes on the same elevator
SO that both may receive the same amount
of wear"

Death of Samuel Sherratt.

The death of Samuel Sherratt occurred at
his residence, COS 18th street, at an early
hour this morning. Mr.. Sherratt was born
in Staffordshire, England, and came to this
country in 1879 For a number of years he
was connected with the Trenton, N j.,
potteries, occupying the position of man
ager of the decorating departments of the
Eagle potteries and the East Trenton pot
teries, respectively. He came to Washing
ton in 1889, where he opened na-paint-
ing studio and sales ROOM
His death will be deplored by his host of
personal friends who appreciated his ster-
ling worth. He was man of highest
integrity and generous to fault. The
cause of his death was Bright's disease,
from which he has been suffering for some
years. and, although he was well aware
for some time that his end was fast APP
preaching, he was always cheerful and
merry, and but few of his friends realized
how much he suffered how imminent
was his death His wife and two nephews,
Mr.. Thomas Banes and Harry Degg, who
resided with him, survive him.

Wants Street Graded.

Joseph +. Weber. of 934 | street north
west. has written to the Commissioners re-
questing that an estimate for completing
the grading of Messmore street be included
in the estimates to Congress The engineer
of highways, c. B. Hunt. has recommended
that the writer be informed that 1t is not
believed the additional grading on Mess
more street justfies a special appropriation
therefor. He says it is very rarely that
the grading of a street under special APP
propriation is carried on from building line
to building line. and there were exceptional
reasons in the case of Messmore street why
this should not be done. The estimates for
this appropriation We're at a somewhat
lower rate than the Commissioners were
able to secure when bids were received for
the work. and this to a moderate extent
limited the work that might be done under
the appropriation.

for the steam generating plant, for repair
ing corners of brick piers and doorways at
the pumping station. said to have been
damaged in hauling boilers. Captain Hard
ing. assistant to the engineer commissioner,
has stated that in order to enforce pay
ment in this case it would seem to be
necessary for the Commissioners to es-
tablish that the damages We're due to the
operations of the contractor against whom
the claim is made This we are not in a
position to do he continued. Il recon-
mend that the matter be returned, with
the information that the Commissioners
