Like many other useful things in Phila delphia. under the present municipal man agement, the street lighting costs too much. We have more electric lights than any other city In the United States and pay more for each light than any but two or three of the larger cities pay. The present rate is $llu a year for each of about 0,000 arc lights This rate is not fixed by com petition, for there has been no competition in recent years, and one opposition com pany that has repeatedly offered to fur nish lights at 173 each lias had its bid re peatedly ignored. This tlgure represents about the rate that prevails in the smaller cities of the state. It is based on an estimated cost of 20 cents per night for each lamp. The Phila delphia rate is 30.'2 cents. So great a dis crepancy cannot be accounted for by the superiority of the Philadelphia service. As Jcng as one company or combination is as sured of the contract from year to year, to the exclusion of all others, it is able to fix the rate at its own figures. Under the law which limits such oontracts to one year, with the present system of awarding the Contracts but a short time before the year begins, competition Is very difficult. An Hectric lighting plant cannot be constructed on such a venture. Yet even under exist ing laws it Is evident that competition could be had if the city officials desired It, and there can be no doubt that the cost of lighting could be materially reduced.

RAILWAY IN COURT Suit to Recover Money Loaned Citj and Suburban Company. ALLEGED MOVE FOR REORGAHIZiTION System Controlled by Washington Traction and Electric Syndicate. OTHER SUITS PROBABLE Several suits were filed late yesterday afternoon in the District Supreme Court against the City and Suburban Railway Company for various sums of money loaned it by the remaining companies in the local syndicate and by the United States Mort gage and Trust Company, the New York financial company which aided in making the consolidation. This is understood to be the initial step toward the reorganization of the system represented by the Washing ton Traction and Electric Company. It is said that it is intended to force the City and Suburban line into the hands of a recelv er, in order that a foreclosure may be secured for failure to settle the claims. It is reported that suits of a similar char acter will be filed against other companies in the system, which have been running behind in their receipts and unable to meet their obligations. .Three suits were filed yesterday against the and Suburban line to recover a total of $1?3,405.50 for money advanced and for other considerations. The plaintiffs are the Lnited States Surety and Mortgage Company of New York, the United States Electric Lighting Company, the Columbia Railway Company and the Anacostia and Potomac River Railway Company. The Amount* Represented. The total sum claimed by the United States Surety and Mortgage Company is 1127.405.56, representing five notes payable on demand and bearing interest at 5 per cent. These notes are as follows: One of $27. 500, dated May 29, 1900, signed by George Truesdell, president; the second for $15,000, dated June 'SI, 1900, signed by President F. C. Stevens: the third for $38,000, dated Au gust lijoo, and signed by Vice President Harries; the fourth for $5,000. dated August li, 191*) signed by Vice President Harries, on which the sum of $1,844.44 has been in . o,ard , the? for $43,750, dated i . J i*st' and S1?ned by the new presi dent of the company, Mr. Allan L. McDer S? m was aI'Po'nted receiver of the \\ ashington Traction Company by Judge Croff of West Virginia immediately after the recent failure of the traction syndicate to meet payments on the bonds. The court is informed that each note was properly executed and delivered to the plaintiff in due course of business and for a valuable consideration; that the plaintiff is now the owner and holder of each note, and that It presented them to the defendant corpora honored payment*and the notes were dis The United States Electric Lighting Com ?nan?eV? itw^r on a note of January vA,i n I, wt' payabIe at the West knd Bank, with interest at G per cent, and on a second note for $22,000, dated May 25, an(L pa>'able at "the National Metro rnti 'if ian ' fith ,nterest at the same rate. It is understood these notes were borrowed payment for P?wer and money The Anacostia and Potomac River Rail way Company sues to recover on a note for *1<>.0<?0. dated January 30. 1901. and pay wOh fnt . , ,e? End Bank- on demand, with interest at (> per cent. The Columbia Railway Company suee to co-rn a note for $3.3,000, dated Januarv 31 1900. drawn on the American Security and Trust Company, and bearing interest at <> per cent. As the Washington Traction and Electric Company indorsed the latter note, it is also named as defendant in this suit* Hettnrded an Significant. The action taken by creditors of the Citv and Suburban Railway Company Is looked upon In local financial circles as of con siderable significance for the reason prin cipally that the money which Is thus al leged to be owed is due either to the con stituent companies of the Washington Traction Company or to the United States Mortgage and Trust Company of New ^ ?rk city. The latter is understood to have financed the purchase of the proper ties controlled by the Washington Trac tion Company in this District. It was impossible today to secure any au thoritative statement in regard to the mat ter, but It is conjectured by those who keep informed on such subjects that the filing of the suit is a move in the direction of refinancing the Washington Traction Company. It is supposed that the sums alleged to have been advanced to the Citv and Suburban Company represent what is known as the floating indebtedness of that company. . It is conjectured, also, that this step may be preliminary to the asking for a receiver for the road to be followed by a sale of the property, using the receipts to pay off the bonds, as far as that may be possible. It is also said that perhaps it is the pur pose to pursue the same policy as to the Anacostia. the Brightwood and the Ten leytown companies, and after the securities of these companies have been cleaned up by a sale, then it may be that these roads, with the Metropolitan, the Columbia and the Great Falls, will be united under the management of one company, as authorised by the law of June, 1900. According to the views of those who have studied the situation, the above will be the method followed In the plan of reorganiza tion, which is still under consideration by a committee of bondholders of the Wash ington Traction Company. Alleged Damaged $10,000. Suit at law was entered in the District Supreme Court today by Agenor St. Paul Reynolds against William R. Covington for $10,000 damages. The complainant states in his bill that he was formerly employed by the defendant In the business of selling photographic instruments and supplies. He states that he severed business connections with the defendant about July 31 last. Shortly afterward, he says, the defendant, in conversation with several persons at dif ferent times, including Christine McNeill, Howard G. Wagner, Henry A. Farnham and others, remarked that the plaintiff had "got away from me with about $15," and that "Reynolds quit me about $15 ahead cf the game." The plaintiff states that these remarks greatly injured his character and interfered with successful pursuit of employment. Friendly Suit to Settle Eotate. Friendly proceedings for the sale and dis position of the real estate and remaining personal property of the late Carl Mueller, who died in March, 1888, were Instituted in the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia yesterday afternoon by his son, George J. Mueller. With the consent of all the heirs of the late Mr. Mueller his son, George J. Mueller, was yesterday appointed by Justice Barnard trustee, for the purpose of disposing of the real estate. Mr. Mueller has also filed a petition in the Orphans' Court, with the consent of all the heirs at law, that an administrator be appointed to take charge of the personal property re maining. Attorney Robert Preston Shealey is looking after the details connected with the settlement of the estate. Penalty Waa $30 Fine. George Mehrllng was today convicted In the Police Court of assaulting Anthony Kelpy Saturday last. The penalty Imposed by Judge O'Donnell was a fine of $30, with ninety days In jail as the alternative. The fine was paid. Mehrling claimed that Kelpy struck him first, but the court decided against him. Will Filed for Probate. The will of Benjamin C. Laxenby, under date of October 19, 1898, was filed today for probate. By its provisions all the property of the testator Is bequeathed to his daugh ter. Margaret Cornelia O. Laxenby, who Is appointed executrix. FAIR WEATHER. '? Pwdicted for Tonight and Tomorrow.

Since the declaration of the local Press men's Union, made several months ago, that on the 1st of September its members would refuse to work with non-union feed ers, there has been a gradual growth in the membership of the Feeders' Union. Out of the 200 female pres* feeders in the govern ment printing office5, it Is stated, all but twelve are now members of the union. A meeting of this organization has been called for tonight at Typographical Tem ple, when it is expected that these twelve will be admitted, i It is declared by .Jabci^'leaders that the putting of this order into effect next Tues day will not caused strike or other dis turbance in the governipfent printing office or elsewhere in the( cltjj.^ If a feeder who is not a member ojvtho union reports for duty on that mofining. 'the pressman to who she or he is assigned will simply notify the foreman?that Wis feeder is not a member of the union, and make a request for a union helpe%,Tbls will tie up the press temporarily, only, it is predicted, as, with practically th? whol<* force organized, it is believed amoftg th* union members that the administration officials of the office would request the belligerent feeder to either join the union or be considered obnoxious to the office. No trouble is expected among private firms, as it is declared that the feeders in all of the larger printing testablishments are organized. Hotel Arrivals. Arlington?Edward M. Read, St. Louis; Guy L.

At last there seems to be a chance for the realization of an idea which has been written about, talked about, speechified about, voted upon for the past half dozen years or more. The idea is a playground for children. What is now coming into shape is not a public playground, such as was advocated at Aala, but it will be a playground for an organization known as the Boys' Brigade. This tpractically makes it semi-public. It will be supported by pri vate donations, no' public money having been asked for it, and, iif-the present state of the treasury, mo pubilc money would have been obtainable, eyen If the recent legislature had vqted funds for the pur pose, a thing that it was' probably incapa ble of doing. The "Weed <5f playgrounds for the city children, the children of the poor, has long been recognised. Any one who goes about the clty^. especially around Pala ma, Kakaako, the skirts 5f Punchbowl and the lower part of Pauoa-*>will see crowds of children playing in'4he diisty streets, dirty, bedraggled-looking;; youngsters, In ? good training for the hoodlum elass which we all notice as growing bp among us, and which is a real moral danger. 1" ? Oiled Roads '^or Sacramento. From tbe Los Angeles era Id'. Sacramento has ^concluded that if It wants to be a great capital like ancient Rome, and have all roads lead to it, the first requisite is to make its converging roadways passable. The capital city holds the distinction of having for its approaches the worst roads in the state. Stirred by the ambition of greatness. It now seeks to ob viate the defect. Like some other northern communities, when confronted by an emer gency, it turns to southern California for advice and instruction. An official delega tion from Sacramento, comprlfing two su pervisors and a surveyor, have been mak ing exhaustive researches at Redlands with the object of getting points on the oil process of road-making. They were es corted over many miles of fine roadway, made possible by the use of oil, and they were so pleased with the experience that a favorable report is certain. Quite likely It will be possible in the near future to approach Sacramento by roadway without cutting axle deep in sand and being en veloped In clouds of dust. ALEXANDRIA AFFAIRS Sewer Cdestruction on .King Street to Be Soon Begun. CITY ENGINEER DUNN TO SUPERINTEND Willis Petty Said to Have Been Jailed at Charlottesville. PRECAUTIONARY MEASURE Evening Star Bureau, 701 King Street, Bell Telephone No. 106, ALEXANDRIA, Va? August 30, 1901. The work of constructing the sewer under King street from Fairfax street to the river, provided for at the last meeting of the city council, will soon be commenced, under the supervision of City Engineer Dunn. This will be the preliminary to the extensive improvements in paving on King street for which council has adopted ordi nances. Under the bills which recently passed in that body about a straight mile of new vitrified brick paving on a six-inch concrete base, with granite curbing, will be laid, extending from Fayette street to the river. The work will be done under the thirty third section of the city charter, whereby the property owners have to pay two-thirds of the cost, the cost of the other third be ing borne by the corporation. In this case the burden on the city will be lightened by the fact that the tracks of the Washington, Alexandria and Mount Vernon railroad ex- i tend over most of the course, and that com pany will be required to pay for a certain section in the center of the street. The railroad company will also be required to lay a modern and improved type of rail along the line of the improvement. Vitrified brick paving will also be laid on Alfred street from its intersection with King street to Queen street, a distance of two squares. | Case of Willis Petty. It has been ascertained here on good au- [ thority that Willis Petty, who was taken from this city Friday last to protect him from mob violence and confined in the jail at Fairfax on the charge of attempting to commit a criminal assault on Mrs. Roberta Payne, wife of Mr. John Payne, the 22d instant, had been taken froAi his cell there and conveyed to some point south. The authorities endeavored to keep the matter quiet, but it was stated that there was <ix cellent reason for believing that the pris oner had been taken to Charlottesville to await his trial in this city. The latest disposition of the prisoner was deemed necessary to prevent a possible outbreak of mob violence after it was discovered that Petty had been confined in the jail at Fairfax. A special grand jury in the corporation court will meet September 11 for an inves tigation of the charge against Petty. The following have been summoned to serve on | the jury: Samuel H. Lunt, George F. Steiner, R. F. Knox, George E. Price, R. H. Wattles, Harry Yohe, J. C. Mllburn, D. : H. Appich and R. Lee Field. The selection 1 of a date in this month for the trial was prevented, it is said, by the law, which makes no provision for the convening of the court during August. Judge Nonon has delegated Attorney Samuel G. Brent to conduct the prosecution In the absence of Commonwealth Attorney Leonard Mar bury. Mr. Marbury has been spending the summer at the Sweet Chalybeate Springs, Va. He telegraphed Mayor Simpson the 26th Instant, stating that he had wired Judge Norton announcing his readiness to act in the matter. Subsequently it was arranged to have Mr. Brent conduct the prosecution. The trial will take place regularly, and the prisoner will be de fended by counsel appointed by the court. It is declared that nothing will be left undone to protect him from violence. Special Council Meeting. Upon the call of Mayor Simpson a spe cial meeting of the city council was held Wednesday evening. The mayor called council together at the instance of several members of that body, who desired im mediate action on the resolution for the construction of a sewer under King street from Fairfax street to the river. After President Paflf had announced the business before council Mr. Leadbeater, chairman of the committee on streets, explained that the bill for the appropriation of $1,000 for the work, which was referred back to his committee the evening before, had been carefully investigated previously. Upon his suggestion City Engineer Dunn took the floor and pointed out the reasons in favor of constructing the sewer. Mr. Dunn said the pipes now being used emp tied Into the water several Inches below the low-tide mark. He considered the pipes inadequate, and said the question was simply whether council desired sew erage or surface drainage for the new pavement. The statement of the city engineer was followed by considerable discussion among several members. Mr. Snowden, who, with Mr. Burke, had-voted against the measure the evening before, because It had not been regularly treated, stated that as he was about to begin an Investigation he had been informed that council had been called to pass upon the matter. He was assured by several members that there had been no intention to be discourteous, either to him or his colleague, Mr. Burke. The lat ter announced that he had given the mat ter attention and had come to see the neces sity for the sewer and was ready to vote on the resolution. In the opinion of Mr. Snowden the aitempt to force house con nections with sewers would result in law suits. Mr. Leadbeater said it was hoped that a law providing for the compulsorv tapping of sewers would soon be passed. Finally the resolution was put to a vote and .passed unanimously. Favorably Reported. A favorable report was received from the street committee on the resolution appro priating $800 to make the necessary house connections with the sewer under King street from Pitt street to Alfred street, and it was adopted. An ordinance providing for the paving of Alfred street from King street to Queen street with vitrified brick, was passed, as was also a similar bill for the paving of King street from Royal to Fayette street. Originally the bill named Henry street, but was amended so as to include another square on motion of Mr. McCuen. An or dinance providing for the preliminaries of the proposed vitrified brick paving on King street, from Union street to the river, was favorably reported, and the report was adopted. The sum of $435 was appropriated to construct a sewer under the south side of King street, from Royal street to Pitt street. After taking action on several minor matters council adjourned.

P. MORTON POST, G. A. R., TO APPEAL. Meeting Held and Action Looking to Their Reinstatement?Commander Stone'# Statement. An endeavor is to be made to have the revoked charter of O. P. Morton Post. No. 4 (colored), G. A. R., restored. A meeting of about 100 members of the former post was held last night In Samaritan Hpll, when the matter was fully considered. Mr. S. J. Block, a member of the G. A. R., was present at the meeting by invitation and accepted the commission which was pressed on him to represent the post be fore the Department of the Potomac, and, if necessary, before the national encamp ment at Cleveland, in an endeavor to have the charter restored. The final action in depriving this post of its charter was taken about two weeks ago, when Commander Stone of the Department of the Potomac considered the matter on appeal and sustained the decision of his predecessor. The cause of the first and final action, it is said, was the laxity with which the post passed on the eligibility of its applicants for membership. Committee to Meet. A meeting of the committee from the ex pelled post will meet Tuesday in Mr. Block's office to consider the proper steps to be taken in the endeavor to have the post reinstated on the rolls of Potomac Department. In speaking of the matter to a Star re porter today Mr. Block said there were about 100 of the more than 2U0 members of the post who were in every way eligible to membership in the G. A. R. These mem bers feel keenly their position, he said, and while they could become members of one of the two other colored posts in the Department of the Potomac they held that as the O. P. Morton Post was the original colored post it was in the nature of a hu miliation for them to seek membership elsewhere. Mr. Block said the members themselves admitted that there had been mistakes made in receiving members, but he also believed that the lesson administered would be remembered. Mr. Block said that at the meeting last night a careful list of members about which there is no question as to eligibility had been prepared, and also a list of members of the post who ought not to have been admitted. The at tendance at the meeting last night was governed by that list. Mr. Block believes that just at this time when there is state agitation regarding the disfranchisement of the negro, the G. A. R. ought not to take any attitude which might be construed as indorsing this move ment. He said he had great faith in the Judgment of Commander Stone, and be lieved that when the matter is presented to him in the proper light the charter will be restored. He would take the matter before the national encampment only as a last resort. View* of Commander Stone. Commander Stone declined to discuss the matter further than to say the disposition of the case is entirely within the Jurisdic tion of the Potomac Department, and there can therefore be no appeal to the national encampment. The offending post had been warned of certain irregularities, Commander Stone said, and, this failing, his predecessor in office had appointed a committee and due in quiry was made, resulting in the revocation of the post charter. He added that there can be no charge of discrimination on ac count of color, as the same action would have been taken in the case had the post been composed of white members, the only difference being, in his opinion, that in the case of white men the department would have been less lenient. He also pointed out that there are two other col ored posts on the rolls of the department, both In good standing, and now affiliating with their white brethren. In the face of this fact, he says, the charge of discrimi nation is not well taken. Falls Twenty Feet. William McAlwee, twenty years old, liv ing at 1123 I street northwest, while doing some plumbing work at 128 C street north east this morning, fell from a ladder a dis tance of about twenty feet and was painfully injured. He was taken to the Casualty Hospital, where the doctors found he had received a cut over his right eye and fcla left ankle had been sprained. % v - FINANCIAL.
