Stealing Slot Machines. During the past few weeks several "drop-a- penny-in-the-slot" machines have been stolen from various places, broken open and robbed and then thrown away. Yesterday the police were notified of the theft of two boxes, which have not yet been recovered. Chicago, New York and St. Louis. The Alexandria authorities have been ex¬ tremely diligent this winter in their efforts to rid that city of tramps, and only day before yesterday twelve were arrested. In that city they don't propose to feed loafers at the city's expense, and in order to get rid of them they put them on one of the ferry boats and send them to this city. Yesterday Policeman Ken¬ dall saw on Pennsylvania avenue near 9th street ten of these men who had been banished from Alexandria, and be started toward them. They ran. but the officer caught four of them and'took them to the station. They registered an James Howard. William Conley, John Me¬ dially and Thomas Ilickey. This morning when they appeared before Judge Miller they were extremely anxious to be given a clmnce to leave the city. One said he was from Chicago, an¬ other from St. Louis, while still another claimed to be from New York. The fourth one hesitated for a moment and then gave Alexan¬ dria as his home. Judge Miller thought that they constituted a committee on the world's fair site and were forming a combine agaiust this city, but he didn't say so. While, he said, the Alexan¬ dria mode of dealing with such persons was a good one he thought a surprise party in the nature of a little work would not hurt them, and gave them thirty days each. To Represent the Board of Trade. M. M. Parker, president of the board of trade, has been appointed national delegate to the fourth annual convention of the American .hipping and industrial league, to be held in Washington February 5, 6 and 7. The follow¬ ing gentlemen have been selected to represent the board of trade at this meeting: £. Kurtz Johnson. A. T. Britton. B. H. Warner, Theo. W. Noyes and A. D. Anderson. Does Not Apply to Merchants. Judge Cox rendered a decision yesterday in the case of A. S. Bryan, a grocer, whose prop¬ erty had been sold under an assignment and who applied to the trustees for £'200 for ex¬ emption on account of "stock for carrying on the business of the debtor" and a like sum as exempt on account of "mechanics' tools and implements of the debtor's trade or business." Judge Cox held that the additional claim for if200 made by Mr. Bryan for "tools and imple¬ ments of the debtor's trade or business" could not be sustained. The construction of the law was that it was intended for the protection of mechanics, artisans and handicraftsmen and others whose manual labor and skill afforded the means of earning their livelihood and did not apply to those' engaged in buying and sell¬ ing me rchaudtse as grocers, shop keepers and the like.

E. \oung and Henry Johnson alias Garner were called for trial on charges of housebreaking at the stable of J. T. Yar- nell A Sons January 8 and of the larceny of three hams of meat. Young pleaded guilty and the trial proceeded as to Johnson. Officer Costello testified to the capture of Young with the meat and the arrest of Johnson subse¬ quently. Young testified that he stole the hams and that Johnson had nothing to do with the theft. Johnson denied that lie had any¬ thing to do with the theft, but the jury seemed to give no credenee to his statement and con¬ victed him. A New Steam Railroad. To the Editor of Tin Evasiso Star From the Congressional ltecord it appears that on the 16th instant Senator Wilson of Maryland introduced Senate bill No. 2101, to incorporate the Columbia Central railway com¬ pany. which was read twice by its title and re¬ ferred to the committee on the District of Co¬ lumbia. Thu bill seems to contemplate the location of a steam railroad "entering the southeast corner of the District of Columbiu and thence running westerly through the Dis¬ trict to the Eart bank of the Anacostia river," thence across said river to the intersection of F and 15th streets northeast in the city of Washington, theuce westerly through F street northeast to Maryland avenue, thence through Maryland avenue northeast to Stanton Place. Of the eight corporators named in the bill I know nothing, not even of their residence, but 1 think they are not residents of this District. The contemplated purpose or management or ownership of this road is not apparent and where "the southeast corner of the District" can be found is also an unsolved problem. But the matter is worthy of public consideration. 8. C. Clarke. Relief to South Dakota. In response to an appeal for aid for destitute G.A.H. people in South Dakota the relief com¬ mittee of Potomac women's relief corps, auxiliary to the department of the Potomac, G.A.U.. will on Saturday and Monday next receive and ship from G.A.B. hall donations of clothing and money to the post commanders at Salem and vicinity to be distributed aa needed. A Missing Man. The police have been notified to look out for Julius Sinsheimer, about thirty-five year* old. who left his boarding house on New Jersey avenue recently. His disappearance was re¬ ported by a Mr. Lehman, who kept the boarding house. Mr. Lehman spoke of the miaaing man's alleged threats to commit suicide and he is un¬ der the impression that he i Smsheimer) had a pistol with him. The missing man left a letter for his brother. Moaes Sinsheimer. the livery stable keeper, but the latter would not tell what was in the letter. He did say that he did not think his brother had committed suicide. Neither do the police think he haa. Attintio* is called to advertisement of Dodge A Son's furnished house for rent * Grand Lodge Knights of Honor.

During the latter part of December The Star referred editorially to the urgent need of the invention of better modes of egress from burn¬ ing buildings in view of the horrible loss of life of late. A Washington man. Mr. Peter M. Brown, has now come to the front with a do- vice intended to accomplish this object. His invention is a fire-proof stairway built within solid brick inclosing walls adjacent to the front of the building, opening upon the various floors through fire-proof doors. In order to prevent people in a panic from leaping over the rails a center wall extends from top to bottom. All doors are to be springed so that there can be no draughts. By an ingenious system of slip joints the walls adjoining the staircase might (all and leave the stairway standing. Election of ORlcers. The Nationals. M.

Abont 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon a fire took place in house No. 2123 9th street north¬ west; damage to house and furniture about $18. No. 7 engine company responded. The house was occupied by J. C. Mitchell and owned by I. Brooks. About the same time about $100 damage was done by tire to house No. 926 26th street, owned by Susan Morgan and occupied by John Berry. About 10:15 o'clock a wood shed on 4J-j street extended, near the new reservoir, was discov¬ ered to be on fire, and with its contents.lum¬ ber. owned by Mr. Peterson, a contractor.was entirely destroyed. About 2 o'clock this morning a stable at Whit¬ ney Close, on 7th-street road, owned by Mr. B. II." Warner and occupied by John Widmayer, were destroyed by fire. There were two wagons, one horse and harness in the building, which were also destroyed. The loss was about 5600 and there was no insurance. Permits to Carry Pistols. Judge Miller has under advisement a propo¬ sition to add to the proposed law against carry¬ ing concealed weapons a clause to give permis- lion to certain persons to carry pistols. It is not the intention of the judge to adopt a rule whereby the general public can avail tkem- telves of the privilege of the proposed clause, but it is intended for persoiiB whose honest and legitimate occupations carry them to dangerous localities at &n unusual hour of the night. The question which now puzzles the judge is how to reach a sensible conclusion and adopt the proper mode Df issuing such permits, 'ihe proposed rule is designed to apply to newspaper reporters and others who are required to be out all hours of the night in pursuance of their duties. It has been suggested that the proposed per¬ mit system be made applicable to persons whose lives have been threatened in order that they may be ready to defend themselves, but, if this is" acceded to, the police desire that such permits be issued only on application in open court. Good Templars Have a Good Time. The growing interest 111 and strength of Clements lodge of Good Templars was clearly manifested at the meeting held Wednesday evening, which closed the present term. The pleasure of the occasion was largely augmentt d by a visit from Eagleston lodge in a body. Three new members were admitted, and at the close of the initiatory ceremonies an informal reception was tendered them as well as the very large number of visitors.

Health Officer Townshend received by mail yesterday the latest reports of mortality statis¬ tics from the city of Paris, and they exhibit tho same large mortality from acute lung diseases as in the District of Columbia. For the week ending January 16 the deaths from these causes in that city were 755, while in the week previ¬ ous they amounted to 978, thus giving a death rate per annum respectively of 17.4 and 22.5 per 1,000 inhabitants. The deaths Irom pneumonia were 505 iu the first week and 303 111 the second, which decrease in the virulence of the epidemic corresponds with the similar decrease in this country. GEORGETOWN. A Pio in A Bag..An old colored man came to market the other day and bought a pig. Ho put it in a bag and started for his home across the river. Reaching the store at the cross¬ roads he deposited his burden near the door and went inside to get warm. While he w«» there some young men took the pig out of tho bag and put'a dog in its place. When the old man went out the bag was moving at a lively rate and he thought the pig had a fit. Upon examination he tound the dog. "Gracious me, he shouted, "if de pig ain't done turned into a dog!" He returned to the store to discuss the miracle. Meanwhile the pig was returned to the bag, apd when the old man went out again he found it there. "Fo' God, if dat ain't de fuuniest pig I ever see." said he. "It kiu turn into a dog and den turn back again. I reckon dero muss be somethin' wrong bout dat ani¬ mal. b* I'segwiue to try him anyhow."

Boon become inadequate, determined to build another plant at Florence, about all miles north of the old pumping station, which would havs capac¬ ity to supply live times the quantity of water bow used. This new plant waa practically completed Au¬ gust 1, 188U and formally opened on that date. It haa been constructed in the moat substantial manner at acoat of nearly . 1,500,000, and it is generally ac¬ knowledged that Omaha now haa the moat complete system o! water works possessed by any city of leas than 400,000 population in the United Staiee. The Missouri river furnishes an inexhaustible sup¬ ply. and chemical analysis shows the water to be a* pure as any city could desire. The history of in vest menu proves that there an no safer securities than thoae issued for water works under proper oonditiona. The reasons are obvluua. Water is a neceaeity. then is and can he no substitute for it. The earnings are |*rmanent and. in growing citiea, continually increasing. Then are no bad debts, no strikea and no competition. The franchiae fixes tha rates and the city and people muat par for the service, or the fire and domestic supply will be cnt off No enterprise rests upon a mora solid basis. The record of the nine hundred private water comi«uiea in the United States and of the old companies in Europe sus¬ tains the statement that no other class of snterpriesa haa been so uniformly aucoeaaful. , THE COMPANY DOES NOT OFFEE ITS SE¬ CURITIES FOR 8ALE UNTIL AFTER THE MONET REPRESENTING THEM HAS BEEN EXPENDED.

A New Steam Railroad.To the Editor of Tin Evasiso StarFrom the Congressional ltecord it appears

that on the 16th instant Senator Wilson ofMaryland introduced Senate bill No. 2101, toincorporate the Columbia Central railway com¬pany. which was read twice by its title and re¬ferred to the committee on the District of Co¬lumbia. Thu bill seems to contemplate thelocation of a steam railroad "entering thesoutheast corner of the District of Columbiuand thence running westerly through the Dis¬trict to the Eart bank of the Anacostia river,"thence across said river to the intersection ofF and 15th streets northeast in the city ofWashington, theuce westerly through F streetnortheast to Maryland avenue, thence throughMaryland avenue northeast to Stanton Place.Of the eight corporators named in the bill Iknow nothing, not even of their residence, but1 think they are not residents of this District.The contemplated purpose or management orownership of this road is not apparent andwhere "the southeast corner of the District"can be found is also an unsolved problem. Butthe matter is worthy of public consideration.

Egress From Burning Buildings.During the latter part of December The Star

referred editorially to the urgent need of theinvention of better modes of egress from burn¬ing buildings in view of the horrible loss of lifeof late. A Washington man. Mr. Peter M.Brown, has now come to the front with a do-vice intended to accomplish this object. Hisinvention is a fire-proof stairway built withinsolid brick inclosing walls adjacent to the frontof the building, opening upon the various floorsthrough fire-proof doors. In order to preventpeople in a panic from leaping over the rails acenter wall extends from top to bottom. Alldoors are to be springed so that there can beno draughts. By an ingenious system of slipjoints the walls adjoining the staircase might(all and leave the stairway standing.

Permits to Carry Pistols.Judge Miller has under advisement a propo¬

sition to add to the proposed law against carry¬ing concealed weapons a clause to give permis-lion to certain persons to carry pistols. It isnot the intention of the judge to adopt a rulewhereby the general public can avail tkem-telves of the privilege of the proposedclause, but it is intended for persoiiBwhose honest and legitimate occupationscarry them to dangerous localities at&n unusual hour of the night. The questionwhich now puzzles the judge is how to reach asensible conclusion and adopt the proper modeDf issuing such permits, 'ihe proposed rule isdesigned to apply to newspaper reporters andothers who are required to be out all hours ofthe night in pursuance of their duties.

It has been suggested that the proposed per¬mit system be made applicable to personswhose lives have been threatened in order thatthey may be ready to defend themselves, but,if this is" acceded to, the police desire that suchpermits be issued only on application in opencourt.

When the oldman went out the bag was moving at a livelyrate and he thought the pig had a fit. Uponexamination he tound the dog. "Gracious me,he shouted, "if de pig ain't done turned into a

dog!" He returned to the store to discuss themiracle. Meanwhile the pig was returned tothe bag, apd when the old man went out againhe found it there.

from 1882 until August last furnished tha city withwater, would, in conaequeure oi the enormous growthoi the city. Boon become inadequate, determined tobuild another plant at Florence, about all miles northof the old pumping station, which would havs capac¬ity to supply live times the quantity of water bowused. This new plant waa practically completed Au¬gust 1, 188U and formally opened on that date. Ithaa been constructed in the moat substantial mannerat acoat of nearly . 1,500,000, and it is generally ac¬knowledged that Omaha now haa the moat completesystem o! water works possessed by any city of leasthan 400,000 population in the United Staiee.The Missouri river furnishes an inexhaustible sup¬

ply. and chemical analysis shows the water to be a*pure as any city could desire.The history of in vestmenu proves that there an no

safer securities than thoae issued for water worksunder proper oonditiona. The reasons are obvluua.Water is a neceaeity. then is and can he no substitutefor it. The earnings are |*rmanent and. in growingcitiea, continually increasing. Then are no bad debts,no strikea and no competition. The franchiae fixes tharates and the city and people muat par for the service,or the fire and domestic supply will be cnt off Noenterprise rests upon a mora solid basis. The recordof the nine hundred private water comi«uiea in theUnited States and of the old companies in Europe sus¬tains the statement that no other class of snterpriesahaa been so uniformly aucoeaaful.
