HORSEPOWER DEFIED.

The owner OF the brick house on the
northeast corner Of Wilkes and Fairfax
streets who 10 these many years has
suffered from trespassers upon his
premises, upon appearing in front OF
the house this morning found the
capacious porch at the front door occu-
pied by young men of the neighbor-
hood who make the place ralIylng
point. The owner OF the house asked
them why they did not gather at some
other place, and was told by one OF the
party that they preferred the accommo-
dati0ns offered by this old landmark.
They at first refused to leave when or
dered TO do so by the house1wner, but
later moved to the opposite side OF the
street and engaged in game OF crap.
Several men were at work in the house
at the time and the names Of all the
offenders we're secured. The owner Of
the house was positive in declaring that
he will go to any limit in order to keep
trespassers away from his pouse III
order that his tenants may not be an
noyed by such gatherings.

THE COUNTY IAIL AFFAIR.

Investigation has been completed by
Capt. Il. n. Horn, acting cOmmandant
of Fort Myer, into the alleged attempt.
ed assault by a number of soldiers OF
the Third Field Artillery upon the
Alexandria county jail on Fort Myer
Heights, early last Friday morning.
Since the early periods of the lnves-
tigation indicated that there was no at
tempt at violence by the soldiers. either
in the shape of an actual physical at
tack upon the jail or threats against
,Jailer Crack, it is considered unlikely
that any OF the soldiers will be hailed
before a cOurt-martlal.
The men were orderly and used no
violence. nor did they make threats.
They asked in the most buslnessllke
way for the surrender Of Robert Jack
son who had cut Private Scott. Jailer
Harry Crack told the soldiers that
Jackson had been transferred to the
Fairfax county jail. The soldiers ac
cepted his word and went away quietly.
TIE main case against the men APP
pears 20 be that they left their quarters
in disregard of regulations. The testl-
mony only shows that they asked for
Jackson. There is nothing to indicate
what they would have done with him
had he been there and within reach OF
the soldiers.
AT the Fort Myer Hospital 1t is
stated that Private Scott is in much
improved condition, and it is now con-
fideptIy expected that he will recover.
The trials Of the negroes accused OF
participating in the rioting on the Falls
Church trolley car on the night OF the
Jeffries-Johnson prize-fght, i'll the
course Of which disturbance Scott was
stabbed, began in thei Alexandria
county courthouse this morning before
a Justice Of the peace. The men were
fined So each and sentenced to serve
four months in jail. Thus ends the
case which the Washington papers
would have made OF national impor-

THE ABATro1R FIRE.

As stated in the Gazette OF that day
the three-story ahattoir, electric power
house and boiler house OF the Columbia
Cotton Oil and Provision Corporation,
at ReIee. short distance north OF this
civ. in Alexandria county, III which
a fire broke out at an early hour yes
terday morning, was completely de-
stroved. A new addition to the plant,
a six story structure of fire proof con-
struction. in which the cotton seed oil
and lard compound was made and
hacked. was uninjured. though located
less than so feet from the burned
buildings.
The fire was in progress all day yes
terday. although every effort was made
10 extinguish it. and smoke was rising
from the ruins this morning. The
fire literally burned itself out.
As soon as the insurance can be al
iusted the abattoir will be rebuilt. The
electric plant will be reconstructed at
once.
heat from the burning building was SO
intense that the glass IN the windows IN
the brick. concrete and steel fireproof
structure in close proximity to the purn,
inc building was broken, and 1t seemed
for a short time as if the iniiammaole
contents of the building would ignite,
but by keeping streams of water on the
h;o hHildino This was prevented. The
water for the fire engines was obtained
from a reservoir, which was kept filled
with water from the river to supply the
boilers of the plant.
While the fire was raging an ammonia
tank in the refrigerating plant, located
in the electric plant building, was ex-
ploded by the heat. The force OF the
explosion blew out the north wall OF
the building, throwing the debris high
in the air, but no one was hurt.
The burned abattoir was one OF the
LARGEST buildings of its kind in this sec
ton OF the country.
Stored in the building when the fire
started were over a thousand hogs I'd
process Of being made ready for mar
ket: sixtv-seven cattle which had been
killed for the United States government,
and five or six carloads of lard, all OF
which were consumed.
The abattoir was built about eight
wears ago by the Neutrality-suspicious.
Abattoir Company. About three years
ago itswas absorbed by the Columbia
Cotton Oil and Provision Corporation.
The corporation is capitalized at
$500. 900

The art of street lighting is developing
rapidly, and it would be desirable for
the CITY of Alexandra 70 take advan-
tage of improvements from time 70
time.
We also suggest that the Alexandra
Electric Company install in their plant
instruments to indicate not only the
current flowing out through each OF
the three lighting circuits, but also the
voltage on each circuit, and that daily
records be kept and report made TO
the city from time to time. Also, That
these instruments be in such position
that they may be inspected by some
representatative OF the city at any
time. A lower voltage than that nor
mally required would be an indication
either that some lamps are out or that
the voltage on the terminals OF some OF
the lamps is too low. The
light which is given depends not only
upon the current FLOWING through the
lamp, but also upon the voltage at the
terminals of the lamp, and neither
should be allowed TO drop considerably
below that normally required by the
lamp. The city should have means OF
determining whether the current and
voltage on these lighting circuits are
properly maintained, as this is OF the
same importance as it would be to
ascertain whether it receives full
measure on contract for coal or other
commodity.
In conclusion it is our opinion that
if the 50 arc lamps in service i'll Alex
andria are fairly represented by the
sample brought to us, and if they all
operate properly at normal current and
voltage, that the terms of the contract
are being substantially fulfilled, SO far
as candlepower is concerned.
