lumber for Smoot & Co., has arrived at
the wharf Of that firm.
The bugeye NJ. J. Stevenson, which
was injured in a collision with sailing

day evening last, has been brought to
Mr.. A. Deans boatyard where it will
be repaired. When she left port the
bowsprit of the yacht was still sticking

broken of. The sailing yacht which
collided with the Stevenson, aud which
was overturned when the two vessels
came together, has been righted, and is al.
so at Mr.. Deans yard for repairs. Beyond

Incident on Passenger Train.

Rather al unusual occurrence happen
ed night or two ago on passenger train
SO at Alexandria, by which it was held
about ten minutes. A passenger thus
relates the circumstance "After the
train pulled out from Washington |
heard young man, who occupied the
long seat at the rear Of the car, talking
to some acquaintance regarding pain
from which he was suffering and the
various places he had visited in quest OF
health. When the train reached Alex
andria among those who boarded il was
well-known physician, Making his
way to the suffering man he called for q
glass of water and proceeded to dissolve
what the bystanders understood to be a
morphine tablet. As soon as This had
been accomplished the young man took
off his Goa, rolled up his sleeve and the
doctor injected the solution in the young
mans arm. Then the physician handed
three tablets to the conductor and In
structed him that in case the young man
collapsed Oh his journey South he was to
give him these tablets. The young man
seemed very thankful to the physician
and offered to pay him for his services,
which the latter declined, telling him
that if he wanted to be cured of the use
of morphine to write to him in Alexandria
and he would prescribe treatment. The
doctor then left and the train proceeded,
aud for the rest Of the journey the young
man appeared to be relieved and con-
versed with those near him. - Lynch

The Electric Franchise.

A joint meeting was held last night of
the committees on finance and light of
the City Council to discuss the question
of dispOsing of the electric light fran
chise. The sentiment ofmembers of the
committee was almost unanimously in
favor of the proposition, Mr. Strauss,
alone opposingit. City Attorney BOothe,
who was present, stated that while the
grounds taken by Mr.. Strauss, that un-
der certain conditions the city might
borrow money to construct new light
plant, might be tenable, yet he would
object against further increasing the
city's debt. After a full discussion on
motion of Alderman Hill the committees
decided to recommend to Council that
the offer Of G. F. Thompson 10 pay
500 for the franchise and So, 500
for the old light plant be accepted.

Investigation by Inspectors.

The collision on the night of Septem-
Der 10 between the steamer River Queen
and a lumber barge in tow of the Daniel
X. Jackson, short distance north OF
Shepherds in which the barge was
sunk and the River Queen beached,
formed the subject of an all-day investl-
CATION yesterday in Washington. The
entire day from 10 o'clock till 8 in the
afternoon, was consumed in taking testi-
mony. 1t is not expected that a de-
cision will be announced for several
days. The point at issue is which of
the two captains, if either, shall have
his masters license suspended or re-
voked because of the accident. The
testimony hinged on the signals given
by the lights and whistles OF the two
steamers. The River Queen people in
sisted that the Jackson did not display
the proper lights, and that she blew no
whistle until moment before the COLI
sion, when she gave two blasts, the sig
nal to pass to port. The Jackson wit
nesses testified that their vessel carried
the FIVE regular lights; that they were
burning brightly and that the proper
signal was given.
