An illustrated lecture for the benefit of the men at Ft. Myer was given in the ad- ministration building at the post last even- ing, under the auspices of the executive cemmittee of the District of Columbia Christian Endeavor Union. Rev. Dr. D. W. Skellenger, pastor of the Sixth Presbyteria: Church, spoke in an entertaining manner, his subject bemg “Down in a Coal Mine.” Dr. Skellenger, during a residence of sev- eral years in Scranton, Pa., made a num- ber of visits through important coal mines there, and retated his experiences last even- ing, at the same tme describing the proces: of mining coal and preparing it for the market. For the bencfit of the larg: num- ber of youngsters present, comic illustra- tions were thrown on the screen at inter- vals, which were hugely enjoyed by them. The lecture was the second in a course io be given for the men at the post, the first cne, delivered by Prof. H. Allan Hazen, be- ing on ds and hurricanes. Preceding last night's lecture an illusirated song eerv- ice was held, Miss Cowell singing two or three solos. _ An Explo: An explosion occurred behind the scenes at the Grand Opera House last evening, re- sulting in painful burns to two of the em- ployes, A. W. Olson and M. A. Wilber. The audience was unaware of the accident. The play on the boards is the realistic one, “Man-o'-War's-Man.” Near the close of the third act one of the characters is sup- posed to fire at a fleeing prisoner to pre- vent his escape. Last night the gun missed fire. After the act it was taken behind the scenes and examined, and, without warn- ing, was discharged, and set fire to a car of powder near by. The two men whose names were mentioned were badly burned about the face and hands. They were treated at the Emergency Hospital. ae Acceptance Withheld. ‘The Navy Department has withheld its final acceptance of the new dry dock at the New York navy yard, owing to a-differ- ence that has arisen between the con- tractor and the department over the re- moval of some earth and some fillings. ————— Hotel Arrivals.

For the city council a large | number have offered their services. Mr. O. P. Angeloe, who announced him- self as a candidate for the clty council from the third ward, has decided to with- draw, he being an office holder under the government, and there being some civil service rule in conflict with his desires.

Howe, jr., was the victim of a distressing accident last night at about 10:30 o'clock, while riding his wheel. He came in collision with a cable car almost directly in front of the White House, and sustained a compound fracture of the right arm near the shoulder, a severe fracture of the right leg below the knee and a cut on the chin and bruise on the back of the head. In addition, two of the fingers of his right hand were broken, and he was otherwise badly bruised and shaken up. The injury to the leg is the most seriou: A portion of the shin bone is almost ground to pieces, and it is feared that am- putation may be necessary. The young man is a son of Dr. Franklin T. Howe of The Ev:ning Star ard is about twenty years of age. It is a difficult matter to say exactly how the accident happened. Young Howe was riding in a westerly direction, evi- dently being on his way to the residence of his uncle, J. I. Griffith, 2137 Virginia avenue, where he has been living. The car by which he was struck was No. 34 of the Georgetown branch of the Capital Trac- tion Company, in charge of E. F. Smoot, gripmar, and Joseph Nash, conductor. The unfortunate wheelman was riding near the south track, on which the cable train was approacting at its ordinary speed. Either he miscalculated the distance to the car or elsc his wheel suddenly swerved; at any rate, according to the generally ac- cepted explanation, he was thrown violent- ly against the grip car, and in that manner received the severe injuries mentioned. He was partially unconscious just after being struck, but as his sensibilities returned his moanings and sharp outerles were dis- tressing. Everything possible was done to relieve his sufferings, and upon the ar- rival of the Emergency Hospital ambulance he was conveyed to the hospital, where he received the careful attention of the sur- geors. Realizing the serious condition of the pa- tient, Dr. Carr of the visiting staff of the Emergency Hospital was immediately sum- moned, and gave his perscnal attention to the case, assisted by the house staff. The injuries were dressed and the leg placed tr a plaster cast. In the meantime, word hav- ing been sent to the young man’s parents, they arrived at the hosp‘tal and remained with him through the night. Dr. Carr as- _ FINANCIAL.

Telephcre 505. mbl9 sured Dr. Howe that every effort wor made to save his son’s leg, and there is a chance, thovgh indeed a slignt ene, that the benes may unite, the patient being young and in the best of health. No arrests were made last nigat cn ac- count of the accident. Policeman Cramer, who made an investigation at the time, was of the opinion that no blame aitach- ed to those in charge of the cable train. Young Howe, while a fast rider, is experi- encet and careful, and his parents are at a loss to account for the manner of receiving his injuries. The gripmaa said to a by- stander last night that he had no idea that the young man would run into the car. He was not crossing the tracks in front of the train, th® gripman said, and the street was clear at the time, and there was a suf- ficiency of room for him to pass without coming so near the track. In the gripman’s epinion the wheelman was struck by the corner of the heavy bumper that serves as a foundation for the dashboard, and to which the fender is attached. The accident attracted a large crowd, the theater having closed just about the time it occurred. _— 1 be It matters little what it is that you want whether a_ situation a ‘want” ad. in The the or a servant. reach ar will person who can {iil your need.
