Wyatt. An accident peculiar in its nature and productive uf urusual pain happened yes- terday, Geo. Wyatt, a colored quarryman, being the victim. Being without work for some time he went rock fishing near the Chain bridge. Not meeting with success, he pulled in bis ine and wandered through the wiods way back on the deserted hills for cherries. He located a tree, and to as- sist him in gathering in the laden branch- es he attached a sturgeon hook, which he had among his tackle, to a pole by means of copper wire, and carried it up the tree with bim. Resting the whole across sev- eral mbs he mounted higher and then came dov.n. In the descent he put his whole force on the point of the hook, caus- Ing it to plough through the flesh of the foot way beyond the beard. A loud cry was made, but no assistance came. Every movement the man made sent the most ex- cruciating pains through his body. In the meantime the weight of the pole attached pulled and hauled the flesh. Calls, long, continued and agonizing, for help went from the man, he says, from 12 until 5 o'cleck before he was heard. When a coun- tryman had hig attention finally attracted the victim was half hanging. from the tree, the hook with the attached pole still im- bedded in the flesh of the foot and a mass of bloody vegetation beneath. The man himself was exhausted almost to the un- conscious point. To convey him to town after detaching thegpole was a duty the rescuer took upon himself readily. When Georgetown was reached a transfer took place, and the jour- ney to the Emergency Hospital was made In the patrol wagon. Much skilled atten- . tion, it is said, will be required to ward off Wyatt is about twenty years of Died Suddenly. 2 Mary Wyatt, wife of ‘Alex. Wyatt, col- ored, died suddenly yesterday afternoon, about 5 o'clock, at her home, on.the Grant road near the colored Methodist Church. She was selzed with a convulsive attack, which terminated in death just as her hus- band arrived from his work. Deceased had for some time complained of spasmodic pains in her breast, and had several times been obliged, through spells of particular violence, to take to her bed. The body will be sent to Farmville, Prince Edward county, Va., for interment. Have Been Captured. Frank Warren and Wm. Donaldson, two of the men who jumped upon Scott Ambler two or three nights ago and almost suc- ceeded in making his body resemble sau- sage meat, were caught last night by OM- cer Pierce. The third one implicated in the assault is yet at large, but known. Ambler is “all broken up,” and his condition threatens long confinement. It Had a Use. John Goodwin threatened yesterday to take his’ wife's life, and for fear he might put his threat into effect, she had him ar- rested. When searched at the station a razor was found upon him. He denied most forcibly, though, that he had any in- tentions detrimental to her peace of mind or body, as far as the weapon was concera- ed. With a countenance that never moved he replied that he carried the razor “to pick his nails with.” That alleged mani- cure instrument will cost Goodwin consiq- erable money or considerable time. lockjaw. age. Not a Lonfing Place. When Judge Kimball's court convened this morning there was a noticeable ab- sence ef the regular guests who have no business there. The ‘ront sidewalk was clear, and there were ne lodgers on the grass in the little triangle opposite the court. Pedestrians passing the court had not the trouble of squeezirg through the vsual crowd of men, women and children who have been in the habit of congregating there. This condition of affairs, Judge Kimball says, is due to the good work of Oficer Flynn, who was @etailed at the court only a short time ago. And, says the.| judge, the officer ought to be commended for his work, ‘Two colored men were arrested yesterday for loitering about the sidewalk in frogt of the building, and Judge Kimball said he hoped the officer would arrest all the loaf- both in the court and outside.

Pleasant Mention of Home Folks Here and Elsewhere. Baron and Barcness Fava Have Com- menced Their Summer Travels —Personal Mention. Miss Edie Pfeil and Mr. John H. Stewart were married last night at the home of the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. P. F. Pfeil, on 22d street. Rev. Mr. Facius of Trinity Reform Church officiated. The bride was gowned in white silk and carried roses. A reception and supper followed the cere- mony. Representative and Mrs. Hitt are now in- stalled in their cottage at Narragansett Pier, and the former ts recovering slightly from the fatigue of the journey there, dur- ing a part of which he was very ill. The Italian ambassador and Baroness Fava are spending a few days at Mount Kisco, N. Y., as the guests of Gen. di Ces- nola, at his country seat, La Favorita. Mrs. Jordan and niece will sail for Europe in September. Mr. J. D. Croissant and family left for New_York today, and will sail tomorrow for Glasgow. Mrs. Croissant and son, De- Witt, will spend the summer in Switzer- land; visiting Italy later in the season. Mr. Croissant will join them “in the fall, spending a month in Ireland. Mrs. M. E. 8. Davis will be with them. Gen. and Mrs. Joseph Breckinridge and family will spend the summer at Lake George, where they have taken a cottage for the season. Mrs. W. H.

O'Con- nell, Wednesday, June 26, at Peru, Ind., have been received here by the friends of the former. Mr. Robert B. Riggs, formerly of the United States geological survey, and for several years professor *of chemistry in Trinity College, was married at Hartford, Conn., Wednesday, to Miss Maude Louise Sisscn. Miss Helen Marble has returned from her visit to Miss M. M. Fitzgerald at Phil- adelphia. Both were together at Atlantic City and Manhattan Beach. Miss Marble will be at home Tuesdays, as usual. EFFECT OF THE RULES. Extra Pressure for Places in the Government Printing Office. Public Printer Benedict has been experi- encing one of the incidental disadvantages expected to ensue upon putting his office under the civil service rules. He says that of late he has had more applications for places than at any time in all his incum- bency. All the old employes seem to think that if they can only get in now they will be retained by the rules, and their having once been in the office is regarded by them as a reason and a claim for their reinstate- mert at this opportune time. be Mr. Benedict has resolutely declined to increase the force beyond the needs of the public service. Naturally he has some choice as to the character of the employes of the office during this transitional period, and he can count on the efficiency of the present force, which has been tried by con- tinuous employment during his term. There have been between two hundred and three hundred extri employes put on during the last few days for some special work that needed to be done at once. These employes, when their temporary service is at an end and they are laid off, will be eligible, under the order approved by the President, for reinstatement any time with- in a year from the time when they are dis- missed from the office. These men will, therefore, have a claim to places that will take precedence of applications by eligibles that may take examinaticns for positions in the government printing office after the rules go into effect. Thus the extra force at work now has laid foundation for em- ployment next winter, when the presence of Congress will require added help. —-o._____ Use of Fireworks. It is a violation of law to set off’ fire- crackers or other explosives, and under the law there is no exception made of the Fourth of July. Although it is a wiolation j-of Iaw to discharge fireworks of every description the sale of them 4s not pro- htbited, but permits for this purpose are being issued every day. According to the statement of Policeman Bloom, made In the Police Court tceday, Maj. Moore gave strict orders last evening for the enforce- ment of the law. And Policeman Bloom arrested a colored boy, whose patriotism or desire to hear a ndise caused him to set off a firecracker on the street last night. “I found the boy on the street last night tting off firecrackers,” said the officer, ‘and I arrested him.” ‘There were one thousand more of them who should have been arrested,” remarked Judge Kimball. “I hope the police will arrest every boy found setting off explo- sives.” Arthur was fined $1 and he paid the fine. Prosecuting Attorney Pugh, speaking of the case, said he thought the manufacture and sale of fireworks should be prohibited and then there would be no occasion to make these arrests. The police have received a number of complaints from citizens about the use of firecrackers, and while an attempt is be- ing made to enforce the law now the police will probably not endeavor to stop the use of fireworks in moderation on the Fourth of July. —>___ Trausters of Real Estate.

Mr, Stumph says the other resi- dents of Silver Spring and vicinity share his opinion on the subject: “The charter requires the company to run their road ‘through and along Bright- wood avenue, from Boundary street to the boundary line of the District of Columbia,’ says Mr. Stumph. “The charter further provides: ‘That the company shall place cars of the best construction on sald rail- way, with all modern improvements neces= sary to the convenlence and comfort of passengers, and shall run cars thereon as often as the public convenience may re- quire, in accordance with a table or sched- ule fixed by the company, a copy of which shall be filed with the Commissioners of the District of Columbi: " them a, and approved by “Soon after the road was com: rather, in a condition to cnanle tha Soe pany to run cars, Silver Spring was made @ shunt station, with only one track, while Takoma was made, as it were, the terminua of the main line, with two tracks. To do this the main road had to leave Brightwood avenue, which was a direct violation charter by the officers of the Se ‘Last winter, after the heavy snow storm which visited us, the road to Takoma was cleared promptly, while the main line, being that portion running from the junction to Silver Spring, was entirely neglected for a long time, until the writer informed the company’that unless some steps were taken to open the road measures would be edopt- ed to compel the company to do so. The company then acted promptly. Why the residents of Takoma were well treated ag to accommodations by the officers of the company by exerting every means to open the road and keep it open, while the resi- dents of Silver Spring were compelled to walk from their homes to the junction through slush and snow before they could get a car to carry them to the city, is be- yond my comprehension, “The school children in many instances were kept from school because there was no car accommodations for them. “The cars which run to Takoma are first- class, while the one running to Silver Sone, would be a disgrace to any other road. “The railway company promised the ho- tel company and the residents of Silver Spring that cars would run through to Sil- ver Spring, and also promised the people that so soon as the new cars were obtained there would be a satisfactory service. if “The new cars have arrived, but the residents of Silver Spring have not had their situation improved, the new cars bes ing placed on the Takoma branch. “I desire to present these facts to the at- tention of the honorable Commissioners and on behalf of the long-suffering residents of Silver Spring would like to know if you have not the power, under the charter, to compel the company to carry out its con- ditions, or must the citizens be forced to go to che courts to obtain that redress which of right belongs to them?’ ° ———— w an Accident.
