The first public test of what is known as “the third-rai’ safety system” of electric street railways was made Saturday after- noon at No. 1206 Sth street northwest. The ystem is the invention of Capt. McLeod Murphy, a practical electrician, of Tor- rington, Conn. The system, it is claimed by the inventor, tarries all the features of both overhead or cenduit, and can be adapted to either horse, cable, underground, elevated or steam roads. It is also claimed that the stem is a third-rail surface one, in which urrent is only applied to the third rail by the motorman of the car, all the rails being non. tric. If an accident should happen the car can be made to run from electricity stored’ in it without the current from the power house. The test was made with a model car, 22 inches lorg, on miniature electric field railway, and seemed to be successful in everything that the inventor claimed for it. It is alleged that the system saves 30 per cent of the losses practically attributabie to any other system. —— Excursion to Buffalo via B. and 0. Account G. A.

Complaints against fruit thieves are be- ing made to the authorities in the coun- ties of Maryland in the vicinity of this city and the local police are on the lookout for the offenders about the markets. Several large orchards in Prince George's county have been visited and robbed during the pest few days, and the farmers are deter- mined to take the law ir their own hands. Many of them have employed men to watch their fruit tre at night, and the watchmen, of course, are all armed, and are under instructions to use their weapons should thieves appear. Thieves invaded an orchard about six miles from the city Friday night about 11 o'clock, and 2 battle ensued. A number of shots were fired, but none of them took ef- fect, and the suspects escaped. One night last week an orchard not many miles from here was visited by men who had a team, and it is reported they suc- ceeded tn getting away with a load of fruit for market.

The Pennsylvania Railread Company, it is understood, is about to try the experi- ment of sprinkling a specially prepared oil on its line between Lanham’s and Deane- wood, on the Baltimore and Potomac di- vision, near this city, as a means of reduc- Ing the dust nuisance. Between these stations the trains run rapidly, and the discomfort to passengers from dust is very annoying. While this will be the first experiment of the kind in this part of the country, the use of oil to ebate the nuisance caused passengers by dust and dirt has been undergoing a test on the Pennsylvania lines running ty the New Jersey seashore, and it is stated that the results are highly satisfactory. The oil is distributed along the roadbed by means of a specially constructed car. The preader,” as it is known, is a com- paratively simple contrivance, and, with sum hose and pipes, is connected to an or- dinary oll tank car filled with the oil. The spreading of the oil over the roadbed is accomplished at the rate of about four miles an hour. The spreader is so coi cted that not a particle of ofl falls on the rails. This, of cou ution, since it would be impo: for a locomotive to cal its train were the rails covered with oil. Between 4,000 and 5,000 gallons of ofl are required per mile of double track, and it 1s med that one application wiil allay the dust and dirt for a year. Should the ex- periment prove satisfaciory, it is probable the entire line between Washington and New York will be sprinkled. ————— APPEALING TO THE QUEEN REGENT. Growing Interest in the Sad Case of Senorita Cisneros. The interest in the case of Senorita Evangelina Cassio Cisneros, who is now lying in prison at Havana, and who is ex- pected to receive a sentence of twenty years’ imprisonment, is growing more and more animated, and petitions addressed to her majesty, the queen regent of Spain, are being circulated widely and receiving numerous signatures. The petition asks, in the name of civilization and humanity, that royal protection be extended to Senor- ita Cisneros, and that the innocent girl be freed and sent to live among the women of the United States. A cablegram sent on Saturday to the queen regent, ap- pealing to her, in humanity's name, to interpose for the girl. It was signed by the officers of the National Relief Asso- ciation of Cuba in aid of the American Red Cross, who are Mrs. Julius C. Burrow: wife of the senator from Michigan, pr dent; Mrs. J.

Services to Be Held at Family Resi- dence This Afternoon, Funeral services over the remains of Ar- thur T. Pilling, the Harvard student who died Friday evening, at Gloucester, Mass., be held at the family residence, No. 1301 Massachusetts avenue, this afternoon, at 4:30 o'clock. The body was accompanied from Gloucester by the mother of the de- ceased and the second son, Walter. The death of the young man resulted from heart trouble, caused, it is said, by over-training in college athletics, com- bined with hard study. He had been a student at Harvard three years, and dur- ing all that time had been a moving spirit in all branches of college athletics. He was warned that if he did not take rest he would suffer in consequence, but paid little heed to this. He was a pitcher for the Harvard base ball team, and was engaged in forming the nine. ‘In the last three mcnths he attended college he had vi bad health, but continued his phy: labors, as well as the mental ‘ones. Finally, the breakdown came, and the family took a cottage at East Gloucester, Mass., so that he might recuperate. He recovered somewhat, but ten days before his death grew worse. His condition was not thought to be serious, but Thursday he had a relapse, and died Friday night at 7 o'clock. ‘The Interment will be in Oak Hill ceme- tery. ——— CAPITAL RAILWAY. Equipment on Navy Yard Bridge to Be Installed September 15. Under the term cf a contract entered into between President Randle of the Capital Railway Company and the owners of the Brown underground railway patent, the ccmrany’s line across the Navy Yard bridge is to be fully equipped and ready for opera- tion by September 15, at which time the electric cars, it is expected, will be run over the entire route between the navy yard gate and Congress Heights. Since the rails of the electric road from the south end of the bridge to its terminus have be- come settled to their places the cars have run smoothly, rapidly and in all respects satisfactorily. President Randle told a Star reporter that it is his intention to build a branch line, as scon as possible, to a point some distance beyond Overlook Inn, and also to extend the main line from its present terminus to the District line opposite Alexandria. Mr. Randle stated also that he is in nego- tiation with a New York capitalist for the erection at Congress Heights of a large hotel. which, when completed, will be amon; the finest in this section of the country. Already, he said, the site of the proposed hotel has been selected, and, if finally adopted, the butlding will command a su- pee, view of Washington and its surfound- ngs.

Temperance Rally and Camp Meet- ing—Lawn Fete'by Order of the Eastern Star. It is estimated that 7,000 persons passed through Anacostia yesterday on their way to Congress Heights.. The attractions there were a great temperance meeting in the af- ternoon and the camp meeting at night.

Monda: 2 To ‘The Evening Sta It is well known that the experts of the Department of Agriculture understand how to prevent a arly: every form of fungus and insect that is injurious to shade trees, flowers or vegetables and grains. They publish admirable i tions for the use of the farmers and deners, but only a small proportion of th« living in a city like Washington can be- come expert in following out these instruc- tions. Those who have small ornamental plots would, I am very sure, be very glad to give occasional employment to any onr man, woman or child—who would bring around his portable, spraying apparatas and clear off the bugs and the fungi. It is generally supposed that the official gar- deners and other employes can rarely be utilized for private work, so that here is an opportunity for some one to start a new business if only the entomologist and the pathologist at the Department of Agri- culture will give it a popular name and instruct the beginners. A fine tree is worth more to the community than a horse, and botanical surgery ought to be as profitable as the veterinary art. CAL Must Pay or Go Down.
