GREEN LIGHTS FOR BRIDGES.
Suggestion Made by Chief Dutton Of
Marks for Excavations.

Chief Engineer Dutton Of the fire depart
ment recently recommended to the Commits
sioners the use of green lights to mark
bridges over excavations In the streets at
night to prevent accidents to the fire de-
partment apparatus. Col. Biddle the En-
gineer Commissioner. returned the papers
to the fire department, asking whether the
department did not think that IL the regu-
lations about lights were properly applied
the red lights would be sufficient.
Acting Chief Engineer Belt has reported
that he believes II bridges over excavations
In public highways were marked with green
lights at night the drivers Of the fire ap-
paratus would thereby be warned definitely
OF the character of the covering on the ex-
cavation and thus directed to cross with
caution. "For instance, says Chief Belt,
should these bridges be marked or desig-
mated by a green light erected on each side
of the approaches to them, the drivers Of
the apparatus would be informed that they
were approaching bridges and that. they
should pull down the horses to a walk and
cross between the green lights Experience
has taught that there are number of red
lights which are at times productive Of
confusion in the minds of the drivers. 1t
Is believed that If bridges were to be des-
ignated by green lights such confusion
would be eliminated. The departments
suggestion was made merely to insure
abundant caution

REGARDED AS UNJUST.
Attorney for John ]. Horriggan OBJ
jects to Suggested Investigation.


H A. Hegerty, attorney for John J. Hor-
rigan. who is suing Assistant Chief A. J.
Sullivan Of the fire department for $50 al
legged to be due him for money spent by
order of Sullivan in the matter of securing
q promotion of Sullivan to be chief en-
gineer, called on Commissioner Macfarland
this morning. The attorney expressed sur
prise that the Commissioners should have
suggested that the matter be taken I'D by
the corporation counsel to see whether or
not Horrigan and his associates In the plan
to promote Sullivan might not be amenable
to the clause In the current District appro-
priation act. which calls for the punishment
OF persons attempting to barter District
omces. Mr. Hegerty said 1t was unjust to
Mr.. Horrigan to suggest such a course
Mr.. mcfarland said he thought the matter
should be looked into from all standpoints
He asked the attorney for what purpose
the $50 In question had been spent The
latter replied that he preferred not to saw
at this time. Mr.. Macfariand declared that
the expenditure of this money in an alleged
effort to secure a District office certainly
called for inquiry.
Frank j. Wissner, attorney for Sullivan
also called on Commissioner Macfarland
and secured a copy of the law relating to
barter of Offices. The higher officials OF The
fire department seem to have absolute faith
in Sullivan and believe him to have been
guiltless of wrongdoing In the matter. Re
fore any action is taken, the Commissioners
will await the rendering Of Justice Paine's
decision in the civil suit.

COPIES DISTRICT LAWS.
New York to Adopt Regulations Gov
erning Weights and Measures.


The city of New York Is about to adopt
ordinances regarding the sealing Of weights
and measures based upon the laws and reg
ulations in force in the District Of Column
bia. The Commissioners have received a
letter from Mr.. James B. Reynolds, secre-
tary to the mayor of New York, stating
that the copies of the acts Of Congress re-
lating to the duties of the sealer OF weights
and measures for the District seem to be
adapted for use in the greater city. One or
two sections in particular, he says. aim to
needed in the New York law, and he asks
for the results of local experience in en-
forcing the same. Mr.. Reynolds refers to
section 10. relating to the weighing of ice
and coal in small quantities on the street
and in markets; and sections II and - re-
latng to the weighing of coal in larger
quantities.
Il would like to Inquire he adds, III
these sections have proved to be practical
and effective in securing proper testing OF
the weights Of coal and ice without unnec-
essary disturbance and friction to dealers
Any opinion or Information regarding this
matter which you can send me / shall
greatly appreciate
The letter was referred to Mr.. W. c.
Haskell sealer of weights and measures
and he has returned 1t with the statement
that the sections referred to by Mr.. Rey
nolds have proved to be practical and effec-
tive in securing proper testing of coal and
Ice weights without unnecessary disturb
ance and friction to dealers. The dealers
appreciate these tests, he declares, and
feel that they are beneficial to their inter-
ests as we'll as to the consumers. Weights
are found to be In excess quite often, due
to the carelessness of the coal dealers
weighmasters.
Mr.. Haskell suggests that copy of the
new bill amending the acts referred to be
sent to Mr.. Reynolds with the added fea-
lures UNDERSIGNED. This bill extends the
authority of the sealer. It was introduced
at the last session Of Congress, but was not
acted upon.

THANKSGIVING Services.

The attendance at the Union Thanks
giving services held In the Methodist
Episcopal church last Thursday was not
as large as It should have been. Four
different churches, Presbyterian, Bap-
tist, Lutheran and Methodist, united in
this service and yet the church was not
more than two-thirds full. Any church
In Reynoldsville is too small to hold all
the protestant people who should attend
Thanksgiving services. At $50 a. m.
there was Thanksgiving services In the
Chatholic church, which was attended
by large congregation.
Revs. Meek, Mckay. Myers and Reno
assisted in the services at the M. f.
church. Rev. j. II. Myers, pastor OF
the Trinity Lutheran church, preached
the sermon, selecting for his text
several verses from the oath Psalm.
The sermon did not contain any super
nuous words and was full OF sound logic.
It was an excellent sermon, as fine a
Thanksgiving sermon as has been
preached in Reynoldsville for some
time.
