Capital Traction and Glen Echo Com- panies Make Important Denj It is given out on excellent authority that in a very short while the cars of the Glen Echo electric railroad will enter the city and run along U street to 7th street. For some time past arrangements have been m progress looking toward the ac- complishment of this purpose. The Echo road and the Capital Traction Com- pany were the corporations involved in the negotiations, and, it is understood, things have turned out favorably to both parties. The Clen Weho cars will connect with the Chevy Chase electric line on Connecticut avenue, just below the Chevy Chase circ and run through over the tracks of the lai- ter road to 7th and U streets. By this arrangement the public can take « car in the city and ride straight through, without change of cars, to Gien Echo. In return for the privilege of usiug the tracks of the Capital Traction Company, the cars of the Chevy Chase road will be allowed to run over tne entire length of the Gleu Echo road. A similar agreement was re- cently entered into between the Glen Echo railroad and the Georgetown and Tenley- town electric road, whereby each com- pany was enabled to use the tracks of the other road. By the consummation of the latest deal it will make four lines of cars which will run to Glen Echo, giving it much better railroad faciiities than any cther suburban place in the vicinity of the District. The details of the agreement are not ful- ly known. As the Glen Echo road has no franchise to run cars in the city, its trains, while in the District, will be nominally un- der the control of the Capital Traction Company. On the other hand, the cars of the Chevy Chase line will be under the control of the Glen Echo officials, when running to Glen Echo. Whether or not the suburban road, the Glen Echo, will accept transfers at 7th and U streets, and also at ith and U streets, as the Chevy Chase line now does, is not known. While the new arrangement will shortly go into effect, he real value of the move to both roads will be more fully demonstrated in the summer season, when citizens go to the suburbs for recreation. In this connection it might be stated that the management at Gien Echo changed hands during the week, and that the place will be run all during the winter. The at- traction at the place will be an ice palace in the large amphitheater, while the front buildings of the grounds will be inclosed with glass, heated by steam, and made to resemble a tropical scene. Other attrac- ons will also be installed at the place for the winter season. A party of well-known jocal capitalists now have charge, and their lease runs for a number of years. ———_ $1.00 Baltimore a Return vin B. and 0, Good going and returning on all trains Sunday, September 26.—Advt. a TUG AND MONITOR COLLIDE.

A Citisen of Pennsylvania in the Oty, ‘Whose Insane Condition Renders Him = Dangerous, aes ‘“SOne year ago last Friday,” said a young man named Joseph Bloomfield Jackson, last night, “I was converted, and the Almighty unfolded to me what He has not told to any other person.” This spiritual change, he said, had been Sreat, but it was no greater in his spiritual life than was his change in temporal at- fairs, for he was arrested in his room at the Raleigh and was given a room in the first precinct police station. His arrest by Lieut. Amiss and Precinct Detective Kil- martin was the result of a complaint made to Inspector Mattingly by the White House officials, and communicated to the first pre- cinct police by the inspector. The inspector told Lieut. Amiss that he might interview Jackson and use his own Judgment as to what he should do. It required but a short interview to con- vince the Meutenant that the hotel guest needed treatment for his mental condition. On his desk was the picture of a woman, and this, he said, was his wife's photo- graph. Jackson came here from Pittsburg last Friday and registered at the Raleigh as belonging in Meriden, Conn. His conduct about the hotel had not excited suspicion nor caused any comment, but his actions and sayings in other places have convinced @ number of persons that he is mentally ir- responsible.

It was stated yesterday that he had given out the information that some high public official was to be removed from this carth, and he probably wanted to impart this m- formation to the President. The unfortu- nate man has letters of recommendation to Several prominent citizens. He had n connected with an ®gan factory, he said, and claimed that he had made arrange- ments to sell an organ to Dr. Taimage. This morning he wrote a letter to the Rev. Hugh Johnston, pastor of the Metropolitan Church, saying he expected a draft from his wife today. ‘The latter, he said in bis note, is in Pittsburg.

Story to the Police. Inspector Mattingly and other members of the police force saw the young man’s big pile of manuscript and heard his num- erous stories of his religious work, and of what he is going to accomplish under the direction of the Divine Ruler. He styles himself a prophet, and tells of what is to be accomplished. He says he was in the midst of the St. Louis cyclone, but he escaped unharmed, and now he is going to bring about an early settlement of the Cuban question. In short, he claims he can accomplish almost anything, and he is willing to give his services to the govern- ment. Police Surgeons Vale and Nevitt exam- ined Jackson today, and th concluded that the man should be se home. Dr. Nevitt pronounced him insane, and danger- so. It was stated that some of his tives would probably reach here to- night.
