James Looney, thirty-two years old. who was in the employ of the Washington Trac tion and Electric Company as a pitman, was killed by electricity about 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon while working in the pit at 36th and Prospect streets, George town. He lived at 983 Florida avenue northwest and leaves a widow and two small children. He was seen to fall when he received the electric shock, the current being communicated apparently by his back touching a rod that was charged with electricity. Three minutes after reaching the Georgetown University Hospital he died, and his body was removed to the morgue. Looney had been working in the pit at 7th and Pomeroy streets and yester day he went to the Georgetown pit to earn some extra money. . Coroner Nevltt held an inquest at the sixth precinct station at 11 o'clock this morning, at which a number of witnesses were examined. The jury found that the death of the victim was purely accidental, and rendered a verdict accordingly. At torneys Wolf and Rosenberg appeared for the family of the deceased. Mtavd the Signal. August Goebel, 3333 Prospect avenue, tes tified that he heard the man in the pit give a signal that the change had been made from underground to overhead cur rent. Two bertls were given, he satd. which means for the conductor to put up the trolley. Witness was attracted to the pit by hearing the man making an outcry. Witness ran to the plow pit and saw Mr. Looney lying face downward. Mr. Taven ner was the first one to enter the pit. the witness said, and when he jumped down he called. "Hold up," and said he received a shock. The switch was turned on when Mr. Tavenner entered the pit, and ne ?nut off the current. Mr. Looney gasped several times after he was removed from the pit. Vincent Nottingham, 1302 36th street, tes tified that Looney died a few minutes after the hospital was reached. The hospital Is only two squares from the pit, the witness told the jury. Testimony ot Division Snperlstendent J. T. Moftatt of 1726 37th street testified that he was on duty near the plow pit yes terday as division superintendent at the time Looney was killed. Witness heard two bells given and saw the conductor put up his trolley. An instant later he heard an outcry made by Looney. He "Hold on." and then went to the pit. where he saw the victim lying on his side, witn his head toward the north. Mr. Tavenner, an inspector, was in the pit, a"d l"~ formed witness that the switch wasi in. Witness told him to pull It out Hefien assisted in the removal of the Jwured man. When the accident happened, wit ness said, the current was on when It should have been off. Looney. the witness thoueht. was not an electrician. Witness explained to the jury how the change is made in the plow pit. He worked in the pit In question for a time..While working thare witness never received a shock. Mr. Maffatt said he had never known a man to receive a shock in a pit that did not prove fatal. Wit,ne,^rsaJJ_ could not say that there are simllar plts in other cities. He was positive that Lmmey had given two bells for the west-bound car There was no occasion, the witness said, for the pitman to handle the switch at_ the time the accident occurred- The switch, witness supposed, had been left up when the last east-bound car passed, when the pitman should have opened It. v, ltness supposed the victim touched the rail while passing from one side of the pit to the other. Had not the switch been left on the accident would not have happened. Wit ness did duty in the pit after the accident happened, and found all the electrical ap pliances in perfect order. Yesterday was the first day Looney had worked in this Krtlcular pit. Witness understood that he d been employed for two years In other pits. Inspector Tavenner a Witness. Clarence O. Tavenner, an inspector in the employ of the railway compaftiy. testified that he heard the two bells given by the pitman, and half a minute later he saw Looney's head out of the east-bound pit. Looney gave a scream and two groans and then fell to the fioor of the pit. Witness said it appeared to him that the pitman, having neglected to turn off the current switch, had placed his hand on the con ductor and received a shock. Witness told of the removal of Looney's body after he (witness) had turned off the current. He regarded Looney as a com petent man in the pit. There were leather and rubber gloves In the pit, but Looney was not wearing gloves when he was kill ed. Witness said there was a voltage of 550 on the wire yesterday. He had receiv ed a shock of KjO volts through his hands at one time, but he was not Injured be yond the slight burning of his hand. Yes terday he received a shock and his heel was slightly burned. Makes an Investigation. George W. Derene, roadmaster, testified that he went to the pit about one hour after the accident occurred to make an examination. Looney, he said, was the oldest pitman in the employ of the com pany and had worked in most of the pits of the company. Looney had recently worked In the pit at 7th and Pomeroy streets, where there are two bars, while In the 36th street pit there Is only one. The 36th street pit is easier to handle than the one at Pomeroy street. An accident, he thought, would be less liable to hap pen In the Georgetown pit than in the other pit mentioned. Looney was trans ferred to the Georgetown pit yesterday at his own request, the witness said, because he was anxious to make overtime. He had been asking for permission to make over time for two months, and when a man wants to make extra time he is generally given an opportunity. W. H. Schaffer, assistant roadmaster, told the Jury he had known Looney since 1805, and considered him a competent pit man. He was certain that Looney. had worked In this particular pit before. A man was allowed to go off yesterday and Looney was sent to Georgetown in order that he might earn extra money. Depaty Coroner's Statement. Deputy Coroner Glaxebrook testified that he examined the body of the deceased this morning. He found no discoloration of the skin except across the right side of the hack. There were two such discoloration*. His death, the doctor said, was due to an electric shock. This closed the testimony and the case was submitted. Mr. B. Poilet. who lives at 611 13th street northwest, was an eye witness of the electrocution, but he was not called upon to testify. Mr.. Pollet was sitting on the last seat of the car, which was over the pit at the time of the accident. He hap pened to be looking directly at Looney as he emerged from the pit. "He rose up out of the pit as far as his waist," said Mr. Pollet to a Star reporter today. "The con nection had evidently been made and the car was ready to start. Just then the man put his two bands on the iron plate which covers the pit, evidently to let himself down. As he did so an awful expression came over his face; he threw his head back and slid down into the pit. I immediately jumped up and gave the alarm. When we looked down In the pit the man was lying face downward, still quivering. If I had not seen him X think his dsatk would not have been noticed until the next car had .pome up." Yom the Sprtn*A*td Republican. The poller of state care for consumptives Is spreading, and the Massachusetts de parture hi the hospital at Rutland has been followed in Connecticut. Titers, how ever, the bounty of the state la reinforced by private giving. Work has been began upon the consumptives' hospital on New tngton mountain, near the etty of Hart ford. The legislature appropriated 125,000, and nearly as much more has been raised by subscription.

Considerable Interest has been aroused [ among the Knights of Columbus, who num ber several hundred In this city, over the I reported action of Bishop Janssen of Bel I leville, Illinois, forbidding the establish ment of the order In his diocese. It is un derstood that Bishop Janssen has notified I all priests In his Jurisdiction not to count enance, or to co-operate in, the formation | of any councils of the organization. The confirmation of the truth or forcity of the report Is awaited with much anxiety, be cause, if correct, the position of Bishop Janssen may lead to the reference of the subject to Rome for settlement. The position of the Vatican authorities on secret societies is well known. Pius IX In his "Sylabul of Errors" specifically for bade Catholics from Joining secret so cieties or to retain membership therein. Leo XIII has taken equally positive steps In the same direction. The Knights of Co lumbus, however, occupies the position of being tolerated in this country despite the secret features it embraces, many priests belong to it and it appears to have the tacit approval of many bishops. Mem bership is restricted to Catholics in good I standing. The order was founded by a priest, the late Father M. J. McGlvney, in 1882. at Thomastown, Conn. There were originally three degrees. In which a secret ritual of initiation was used. Now there are four degrees. The aim of the society Is to ad vance the evolution of the Catholic gentle men In fraternity and to promote good fellowship among the Catholic people of the country. It has. also, an insurance feature. The last available report of its condition showed an enrollment of 30,430 ! Insured and 38,2155 associate members, com | prising 539 councils. New York and Mas sachusetts lead In membership. The national officers are as follows: Supreme knight. Edward L. Hearn, South Framingham. Mass.; deputy knight. John , W. Hogan, Syracuse. N. Y.; national sec retary, Daniel Colwell. New Haven. Conn.; national treasurer, P. J. Grady, Cleveland, Ohio; national advocate. James E. McCon l nell. Fltchburg, Mass.; national warden, Matthew McNamara, New London, Conn.; national chaplain, Rev. P. J. McGlvney, i Mlddletown, Conn., a brother of the found er; national physician, M. T. McMannis, New York city. AT DOUBLING GAP. A White Sulphur Spa tor Health and Pleasure. Special Correspondence of Tho Evening Star. DOUBLING GAP, Cumberland Co., Pa.. July 27, 1901. Whits Sulphur Springs Hotel Is fast as suming Its customary role of sheltering, during the summer months, the small colony of pleasurs pilgrims who yearly flock to Its portals. Uniquely situated be tween two huge peaks, this delightful re sort presents a variety of features not found in the ordinary summer hotel. The wonderful properties of Its medicinal wa ters?the llthia, iron and sulphur springs are as much appreciated by health seek ers today as they were centuries ago by the red-skinned tribes who made the first footpath across the present hotel site. The baths, especially the sulphur baths, are found to be very beneficial by those in dulging in these luxuries. Parties leave the hotel dally to enjoy the picturesque view from "Flat rock," and return each evening In high spirits, claiming each one to have been the first to have climbed the steep ascent. Or, perhaps, a Journey to "Lewis' Cave" proves the attraction?the many gruesome legends connected with this daring robber lending something of the romantlo to such an expedition. Lake Henrlette Is not forgotten, and draws its daily quota of visitors who take pleasure In rowing on its placid waters, or perhaps, la the more venturesome pastime of pad dling a canoe. A party of youths went out on a novel expedition yesterday?a hunt for snapping turtles?and did not re turn empty handed, either, bringing beck, indeed, quite a number of large and dan gerous looking specimens. Although the tnat day of the trout season on July 10 brought chagrin to many devotees of the rod, it has not altogether extinguished their ardor, and many are now paying attention to the carp and bass. The danc ing. in the evenings is enjoyed by sU, hut particularly by the young folks, who have planned an elaborate cotillion for next week. An exciting progressive enchre en gaged young and (rid last evening?the for tunate ladles being Miss Laldy Christy and Mrs. Albert Cempinl. both of Phila delphia; while Col. E. T. Townsend and Consul R. J. Leopold of Baltimore carried ilSUi W. ? _ the honors for the men. A dramatic ascertainment, to be held on the hotel stage. Is the all-absorbing topic today, and Is expected to fill the program for tonight Bo fmr the Mty-flfth nfwon at Doubling Gap has proven an unusually successful one. and the management anticipate* an even more eventful period during August, which Is always the banner month. Among the more recent arrivals are Col. and Mrs. R. O. Rutherford. Sewtai la Snmairr SrksoU. From the Philadelphia ledger. The city undertakes to have newing taught In the public day aad vacation schools, and. with the Indifference charac teristic of the municipality, neglects to provide enough money for the work to t>? properly done. As a result of this many of the teachers who desire to perform their duties conscientiously feel the necessity of making good at least a portion of the de ficiency out of their own scanty salaries It Is stated on good authority that in one school the teachers, within a few weeks, expended more than J7ft for sewing and other material which the city should have supplied, but failed to do.
