UTILITIES COMMISSION
SEEKS COMPLETE REPLY
Returns to Georgetown Gas Company
It's Answer to Complaint Of
Daniel Mccarthy.

The public utilities commission today
returned to the Georgetown Gas Company
the latter's communication in reply to a
complaint filed with the commission some
time ago by Daniel Mccarthy, 1913 Pros
pect street. demanding that the company
furnish more specific Information in re-
gard to the charges than was contained
in the reply. Capt. Julian Schley said to-
day that the additional information de-
manded is expected by Friday.
Mr. Mccarthy, in his complaint to the
public utilities commission. alleged that
the gas company made several arbitrary
and dissimilar charges for house connec-
tons, and asked by what authority the
company assessed charges for such house
connections, pipes, etc, when the pipes
were listed as the company's property.
The reply of the company to the letter
forwarded by the public utilities commits
sion, it was stated today. was not suffi-
GENTLY explicit and several of the ques-
lions asked in the commissions letters
were not answered. All papers in the
case. therefore, were returned to the com
pany, with the demand that a complete
reply, covering all points in the matter,
be made without delay.

Only Trace So Far Found of the

One of the lifeboats belonging to the

Matanzas in latitude 81 degrees north
and 74-31 west. but there was no sign
Of life about the boat. This is the
first trace that has been found of the
Inflated steamer. which disappeared
about month ago while on a voyage
from Port Tampa to Baltimore with
phosphate rock.
That Capt. Webb or any of his crew
II twenty-eight persons survive is not
thought possible in shipping circles and
il Is believed that the entire crew were
drowned when the vessel went to the
bottom, as she must have done. With
the exception of the boat picked up by
the Matanzas, no trace has been seen
of the ship along the route followed
by steamers moving from Tampa to

of the Luckenbach feet of New York,

MOURNFUL MUSINGS

A few short years of grief and
mirth, and we go back to Mother
Earth, our play and labor done, no
more to struggle or to plan, no
more to do our fellowman, or hus-
tie for the mon. An epitaph upon
stone will tell you where we
sleep alone, and other things re-
late: Gas l am now, so you must
be. therefore prepare to follow
me, and get your shroud on
straight" Full soon, my friends,
we shall repose, oblivious to hu-
man woes, and all mems transient
schemes; the clamor of the busy
street, the laundering OF countless
feet, will not disturb our dreams.
Out in the silent resting place,
each gent, in his own packing
case, shall wait the judgment
dawn: and he's in luck if living
men shall NOW the weeds down
now and then, and mourn that he
is gone So why be straining all
our days to get the best of other
lays, and pile up stacks Of pelf?
Why scratch so bitterly and hard
70 get in long greer by the yard,
vhy let our god be Self? Oh, let
us blow our surplus wealth for
others happiness and health,
shell out Our miser's heap, and
when we die, some day in June,
the stores will close all afternoon,
to let employees weep.
