Ernest Dove, resident of Fairfax

Tuesday Nights Fire.

The remains of the horse which was
suffocated at the fire at Risheill x Sons
planning mill Tuesday night were re-
moved today and Mr.. Lawrence Sanford
was sworn in by the Mayor this morning
as special night Waterman. He will in
future exercise due surveillance of the
premises after dark. 1t has often been
remarked that had the fire broke out
late Monday night while the strong
northwest wind was raging and the
mercury in the thermometer falling,
nothing short of the Potomac river
would have stayed its progress. 1t may
not be generally known, but it is fact
nevertheless, that on Tuesday night it
was soon found that the Hydraulion
engine was not in condition for proper
service, as the leather cupsin the pumps
had worn completely out, causing the
pressure to drop from 100 to 20 pounds.
Mr.. Thomas Waddey worked nearly all
of last night in replacing them and the
engine was tested this morning and found
to be in proper order. Had the light
breeze which was prevailing Monday
nipht waited brands from the burning
mill on the frame houses to the south
east the city might have found it virtually
had but one engine. The apparatus
purchased from j. Dreifus q Co. some
time ago, now undergoing repairs at the
factory, is expected here the latter part
of this month. 1t is thought by many
that repairs should have been ordered
Immediately after the engine was pur-
chased. Had that course been taken it
would have been in service long ago.

Committee Meeting.

a prolonged meeting of the commit
tee on light was held last night In the
office of the Clerk of Gas in the City
Hail. Mr.. Park Agnew, contractor for
furnishing coal to the gas works, was
present and made suggestions concern
ing the present quality of gas produced
and the probable cause of the general
dissatisfaction,am among consumers. The
present contract calls for certain grade
of coal which Agnew q Co are to
furnish up to June /. 1t is of differ
ent vein from that heretofore used by
the city, the original grade having adj
vanced to double its former price. Mr..
Apnew claimed that the coal now being
used would under proper conditions pro-
duce satisfactory results. One of his
theories was that the coal was taken
directly from the cars and placed In the
furnaces before it had had time to dry
out sufficiently Heretofore when coal
was plentiful it was allowed time
T. pass through this process. AT res
ent the supply is often nearly exhaust
ed when a carload, which has been out
in the weather, arrives and its i'm
mediate, use Mr.. Agnew thought, caused
the d scomfture now experienced. The
committee, however, determined to
make immediate tests of other varieties
of coal and do all possible to relieve
present conditions. The gas last night
sent forth repugnant Odor which was
caused by an oversight or miscarriage in
the process of publication which was
promptly remedied this morning. A
dispatch has been received from the
contractors who arc rejuvenating the
works stating that workmen from Fort
Wayne will be here tomorrow when the
final work will be speedily prosecuted.
1t is believed that in about ten days
time everything at the works will be
progressing satisfactorily again.

Three Persons Drowned.

While large crowd was skating on
the Bathing Basin, near the Washington
Monument, in Washington, yesterday
evening, the ice suddenly gave way and
precipitated 20 or more persons in the
water. Three persons lost their lives
The dead are :: Miss Jessie G.
Thomas, a young woman 20 years of
age, employed as clerk in the Bureau
of Ethnology, who died at the Emer-
gency Hospital; Arthur Wesserbach,
an employee of the Bureau of Engraving
and Printing; Henry G. Hamill, a
clerk in the War Department Eight
Others were treated at the Emergency
Hospital and recovered. Wasserbach
was native of Washington; Hamill was
from Michigan, and Miss Thomas, pre-
vious to year ago, had lived in Freder-
lex, Nd. Hamill was about 45 years OF
age. There were probably 1000 per-
sons skating on the basin at the time OF
the accident A hot water pipe from
the engine-room of the Washington
Monument empties in the basin near
where the ice gave way. The skaters
had been warned that the location was
a dangerous one, but it is said that they
disregarded the advice given them to
stay away from the vicinity, and when
the crash came fully 80 men and wo-
men went through the broken ice and
into the water. All were rescued ex-
cept the two men, whose bodies subse-
quently were recovered. Miss Thomas
died short while after her removal to
the hospital.
The sad accident described above was
the basis of many startling rumors which
were circulated in Alexandria last night.
One report was to the effect that fifty or
sixty persons had been drowned, and
people in the city who have relatives and
friends living in Washington were filled
with apprehension until this morning
when the actual facts were learned.

New Police Commissioner.

As will be seen by the proceedings,
She resignation of Mr.. Ashby Miller as
police commissioner from the Fourth
ward was sent to the City Council last
night and accepted. Mr.. Miller in his
communication rendering his resignation
saws his business interests occupy most
of his time and he is unable to give the
position the attention it requires. The
resignation was accepted and later joint
session Of the two boards was held and
Mr.. E. c. Graham received the unani-
mous vote OF the members of both boards
rs his successor. Mr.. Miller succeeded
Mr.. J. F. Tackett as member OF the
Board of Police Commissioners in 1899,
and during most Of his term Of service
was secretary of the board, performing
his duties faithfully and cOnscientiously.
His successor, Mr. Graham, is gentle
man wel-known in this community and
well fitted for the position. He was a
gallant Confederate soldier and is now
commander OF Lee Camp, Confederate
Veterans. He will doubtless give the
position the attention it should re-
,ceive and his action will be governed by
fairness, sincerity and impartiality.
