Writ of Mandamus Dismissed.

The writ of mandamus issued by the Dis
trict Supreme Court at the instance of
George A. Lowry and the Planters Com
press Company against the commissioner
of patents was yesterday ordered dismissed
by the District Court of Appeals, In an
opinion written by Mr. Justice Duell.
The suit was instituted by Mr.. Lowry and
the compress company in an effort to COM
pei the board of eXaminers-in-chief of the
patent office to consider and decide an ap-
peal taken to them from the decision of the
primary examiner, refusing to dissolve an
interference relating to the round bale cot
tol press inventions. The commissioner de-
clIned to order the eXaminerS-in-chief to
hear the the ground that the re-
fusal to dissolve interference was an
interlocutory matter and not final dispo-
sition of the case. The petitioners then ap-
piled to the District Supreme Court for a
writ of mandamus, and after a hearing
that tribunal ordered the writ to issue.
From this decision an appeal was taken to
the Court of Appeals.
The opinion holds that the matter in con-
trcversy was purely introductory and the
statutes do not provide for an appeal.

FIREMAN BADLY HURT.
Fell From Top of Ladder While Fight
ing a Fire.

Charles G. Achstetter, member of No.
IA Engine Company. was thrown from near
the top of a thirty-foot ladder while work
ing at fire at 504 North Capitol street
last night about o'clock. He sustained
fracture of one arm and number of
cuts and bruises. The police of the sixth
precinct removed him to Providence Hos
pital, where he received surgical treat
ment His home is at 633 H street north
east. The accident was caused by the
bursting of the hose.
The fire occurred in the hay and straw
warehouse of c. +. Wilkins, where dis
astrous fire occurred some months ago.
Occupants of the small houses in the al
ley in rear of the fire became alarmed, and
many of them removed their effects where
they thought they would not be in dam
ger. This was unnecessary, however, for
the firemen got the blaze under control in
short time and extinguished 1t before
more than about 800 damage had been
done. In making an investigation to de-
termine the cause of the fire, the fire mar
shall found piece of partly cooked meat
near where the blaze occurred. There was
also an iron hook near the meat and the
fire marshal thought that some person had
been cooking the meat and caused the fire.
