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 rallylng
point. The owner of the house asked
them why they did not gather ut some
other place, and was told by one of the
party that they preferred the accommo-
dations offered>by this old landmark.
They at first refused TO leave when or
dered to do SO by the houseowncr, but
later moved to the opposite side OF the
street and engaged III 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 in
order that his tenants may not be an
moved by such gatherings.

THE COUNTY JAIL AFFAIR.

Investigation has been completed by
Capt. T. n. Horn, acting commandant
of Fort Myer, into the alleged attempt
ed assault by number OF soldiers OF
the Third Field Artillery upon the
Alexandria county Jail on Fort Mycr
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 Il court-martial.
The men were orderly and used no
violence. nor did they make Threats.
They asked in the most businesslikc
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 &C
cepted his word and went away quietly
TIE main case against the men APP
pears to be that they left their quarters
in disregard of regulations. The tcstl-
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 it is
stated that Private Scott is in a much
improved condition, and it is now con-
fideptly 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, in the
course OF which disturbance Scott was
stabbed, began in thei Alexandria
county courthouse this morning before
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-
lance

THE ABATTo1R FIRE.

AS stated in the Gazette of that day
the three-story abattoir, electric power
house and boiler house Of the Columbia
Cotton Oil and Provision Corporation,
at Relee, short distance north OF this
civ. in Alexandria county, in 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
nacked was uniniured, though located
loss than SO feet from the burned
buildings.
The fire was in progress all day yes
terday. although every effort was made
to extinguish it. and smoke was rising ISL
from the ruins this morning. The
fire literally burned itself out.
As soon as the insurance can be adj
iusted the abattoir will be rebuilt. The
electric plant will be reconstructed at
once.
During the progress of the fire the
heat from the burning building was SO
intense that the glass IN the windows IN
the brick, concrete and steel hreprooi
structure in close proximity to the burn.
ing building was broken, and it seemed
for !, short time as if the inf1ammable
contents of the building would ignite,
but by keeping streams OF water on the
big building this was prevented. Inc
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 IN
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
years ago by the Neutrality-suspicious.
Abaltoir Company. About three years
ago itawas absorbed by the Columbia
Cotton Oil and Provision Corporation.
The corporation is capitalized at
$500. 600.

The art of street lighting is developing
RAPIDLY. and it would be desirable for
the city of Alexandria to take advan-
tage of Improvements from time 10
time.
We also suggest that the Alexandria
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 a report made TO
the city from time to time. Also, that
these instruments be in such position
that they may be inspected by some
representative 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 S. arc lamps in service i'll Alex
andria are fairly represented by the
sample brought to us, and if they all
operate properly abnormal current and
voltage, that the terms OF the contract
are being substantially fulfilled, SO far
as candlepower is concerned.
