duties involved in the administration of so
great an institution and his desire to return
to Washington to join his daughters in the
old home.
On the recent anniversary of his seventy
seventh birthday the trustees adopted a
series of appreciative and congratulatory
resolutions, acknowledging in the warmest
terms the debt of gratitude of the fund for
the invaluable services of M. Solomons.
He was relieved of his most onerous du-
ties, was elected honorary trustee and a
visiting officer, with accompanying provis-
ions which viii enable him to be the greater
part of the time in Washington.
Mr.. SolOmons has for over forty years
been identified with this city. He was a
member of the famous book selling firm of
Philip & Solomons. He was a member of
the District Legislature and was chairman
of It's committee on ways and means. He
thus intimately associated with the
late Governor Shepherd in the creation of
the new Washington. While Mr. Solomons
was so actively engaged a business
man and legislator he has always been
peculiarly identified with the charities of
the city. He was active In the organiZa-
ton of practically all of the hospitals of
the city, and is now a member of the
boards of Garfield, Columbia and Provi-
dence, being one of the founders of Gar

No one who knows the Washington of
the past or the city it was growing to
it's present place but will welcome this
useful citizen on his return to his home
here.

NOT GUILTY OF DISCRETION.
Verdict of Court Martial Criticised BY
Gen. Corbin.

Private Harry B. Meyers. 44th Company
Coast Artillery, having been tried by a gen.
eral court-martial convened at Fort Wash
ington, Nd, and found not guilty of deser-
ton, but guilty of absence without leave
was sentenced to be confined at hard labor,
under charge of the post guard for one
month, to forfeit 500 of his pay, and to
have stopped against his pay S44. 40 the
amount paid for his apprehension and cost
of transportation Of himself and guard to
his station.
General Corbin. commanding the Depart
ment of the East, in reviewing this case,
said
THE court accepted a faulty plea, arrived
at an incomplete finding, and imposed an
indefinite sentence. The record was return
ed to the court-martial pointing out these
errors with a view to correction as far as
possible in revision.
The court-martial adhered to its original
finding, which fails to show the absence
was from either the soldiers company or
post one of the essentials to offense
under the 32d article of war.
THE sentence at first imposed was recon-
sidered but in its amended form does not
closely and distinctly convey a full mean
ing. In imposing a forfeiture, especially
when the sentence includes in addition q
stoppage intended as a reimbursement for
expenses, courtS-martial should be careful
fixture to the United States and the exact
amount 1t intends to impose a stoppage
to reimburse the United States for expenses
incurred In the apprehension, delivery, or
both, of an alleged deserter.
9TH faulty finding is not deemed suffi-
GENTLY grave to warrant disapproval and
the sentence, though not carefully worded,
is plain enough to convey to all concerned
the meaning of the court; for these reasons,
and in order that action on the case be no
longer delayed, the record is not returned
for further consideration, but the attention
of the members of the court is called to

Bicycle Pump Filled with Powder
Exploded i'm VI. :. MingIedOrff's Face.
Mr.. NJ S. Mingledorff met with a
singular accident last night that came
near costing him his eye sight As
it was his face and head were badly
burned.
Mr. Mingledorff's sons had been pre-
pairing for New Years celebration
and had loaded the barrel of a hand
bicycle pump with powder and left
it in storeroom back Of the house.
Mr.. Mingledorff went into the room to
get some tools and picked up the BIZ
cycle pump. He found it plugged
with something and never dreaming
that he was handling a miniature bomb,
held one end towards a lighted lamp
to look through it. The lamp ignited
the powder and the bomb went off with
bang
Mr.. Mingledorff's eye was close to
the loaded pump and the flash from
the exploding powder burned his face
and hair and came near binding him.
A physician was summoned and Mr..
Mingledorff's wounds were dressed.
His hair was burned from one side of
his head and one side of his face was
burned severely.

MAGUlRE LEADS ALL.

The year with the fire department
was a remarkable one, and Superinten-
dent Mcguire and the men at head
quarters threw up their hats at mid
night when it was figured out by the
fire chief that the percentage of loss
was less than ever before in the history
of the department.
There were total of 261 fires with
a loss of only $53,757.50. The percent
age of loss to the value of the property
involved was SO, or FL per cent. better
than for 1901. There were two more
fires during the previous year when
the loss amounted to $61, 74375. In
1900 the percentage of loss was 3.3, but
during that year there were thirty-six
less fires.
This fact makes 1902 go on record
as the banner year in the history of
the paid department, for the reason
that the number of fires are not con-
sidered in figuring the percentage, al
though the greater the number the
more chance for heavier losses. 1t
will probably be several days before
superintendent Maguire's report wn
be ready for the Mayor.
The number of fires and losses since
1889 will be of interest at this time
and are given below:
