There will be two wings on the principal front, leaving a court in the center from the second story up. In this way it is pro- posed to make all the rooms outside rooms. There will be bay projections on both fronts, and while the design Is simple and quiet, yet there will be considerable orna- mentation. The material used will be buff Bedford limestone extending to the third stcry sill course, and above the walls will be built of Roman brick of gray color, with cream-colored terra cotta. Ste21 construc- tion will be used. Frcm the second to the eighth story inclusive there will be six apartments on each flocr, ranging from three to six rooms each, with bath.

The stock of the company is $300,000, and it is intended to issue bonds for a similar amount. The lot, which contains about 10,000 square feet, figures in the transac- tion at a valuation of about $100,000. Officers of the Company. The officers of the company are: W. V. R.

Joseph McArdle Killed While Making Wire Connections. Joseph McArdle, a young man in the em- ploy of the United States Electric Lighting Company received an electric shock yester- day afternoon, as stated in The Star, while at work, which resulted in his death. ‘The fatal accident occurred in a manhole at 14th and K streets northwest, where Mc- Ardie was making some wire connection. He had been in the employ of the com- pany for a long time and was an exper!- enced hand. The accident, it is said, was due to an order he had given to turn on the current befor d finished a connection. It is as of the opinion that he could make the connection before his order would be complied with. His fellow workmen at once removed him from the manhole and did all they could to restore him to con- sclousness before a physician arrived. ‘then he was removed to the Emergency Hospital where he soon died. Coroner Carr was notified of his death. He investigated the circumstances under which the affair happened and gave a cer- titleate of accidental deata. ‘The deceayed was twenty-four years old and lived at his father’s home, No. 1432 L street northwest.

THEY LOCKED HIM IN. ‘Trainmen Deliver-a Youthful Tramp te the Police. Trainmen on tke fast express from At- lanta had as a guest a youthful tramp, whom they turned over to the police when the train reached here at 6:40 this morning. Jeécob Moore was the name he gave, and Special Policeman Shaw, who arrested him, said he found him locked in a mail car. “That's right,” said the young prisoner to Judge Ssott, when he was tried as an alleged vagrant. “I got on the train,” he sald, “with the intention of getting off in Charlottesville and going to my home in Clarksville, Tenn., by way of Cincinnati.” “And why didn’t you get off at Char- lettesville?” inquired the court. “The men on the train locked me in,” was his answer. “They made me sing and aance for them, told me I was a Spanish spy and said I would get lynched if I got off the trata.” Jacob said he had been working in New York, ard that he went to Atlanta with the 12th Regiment. “What do you intend to do now?” Judge Scott arked him. “Go home.” “How do you »xpect to get home when you have no money “Some of the firemen will take me if I stack coal for them.

Mis Steele was twenty-six years old and had been in Atlantic City for her health. She had suffered an attack of ner- vous prostration, from which her mind had evidently become affected, and it was be- lieved that a short stay in Atlantic City would benefit her. The young woman had written home, but had said nothing about her intended return. Relatives were mak- ing arrangements to go over to Atlantic City end remain with her a few days when they received the sad news of her violent death.

Hardly had the colored porter turned his back when the young woman jumped from the train through the open window, landing on the railroad ties. For feat of causing a smash- ecle, Who up the train, did not stop until the next station was reached and then railroad men were sent to find the supposed dead bedy. To their surprise, Miss Steele was still alive, although she had received injuries which were necessarily fatal. Her hips had been dislocated and her skull frac- tured. Passengers on the train noticed her peculiar actions and one of them saw her climbing through the window, but she was too far away to prevent her exit.

Large Company About the Board— The Toasts and Those Who Re- ; spon@icdsPhose Present. A banquet, complimentary’ to Mr. Judson W. Lyons of Georgia, who succeeded the late B. K. Bruceas régister of the United States treasury, was given last evening at the Delmo-Kovnee banquet hall in Odd Fellows’ Hall, on M street between 16th and 17th streets northwest. Mr. Jesse Law- son presided and Mr. J. William Mays was toastmaster. After the guests had partaken of the feast letters regretting inability to be pres- ent were read from Messrs. H. A. Rutler of Atlanta, John H. Devoe of Savannah, T. Thomas Fortune of New York, Sterling N. Brown of Washington, Charles N. Rob- inson of Camden, N. J., John 8. Durham of North Carolina and Booker T. Washington of Tuskeegee, Ala. The toast, “The Old Guard,” was re- sponded to by former Lieut. Gov. P. B. 8. Pinchback of Louisiana, who said, in part: “In rising to respond to the toast assign- ed me, I am in some doubt as to its mean- ing. The ‘Old Guard’ proper is multitud- inous and continuous. It has existed from the beginning and will continue to exist in every race and elime to the end of time. “There are these of the younger gen2ra- tion who are disposed to look upon the ‘Old Guard’ of today as hayseeds and back num- bers, who ought to be content to occupy Places in the rear. Possibly this is true, but it might be well for these latter-day critics to develop men competent to take their places before retiring the ‘Old Guard’ ‘And it may also be just as well to re- mind fiery youth that in the order of nature it will not be many years before the young men of today will be classed as the ‘Old Guard’ and assigned to membership in its ranks, evening, strength and vigor, full of hope and laud- able aspirations, and who wears the hon- ors that with such mand our admiration and secure our pres- ence at respect and esteem, must at last come to this complexion—it he liv Even the honored guests of the the embodiment of youthful have ‘been conferred upon him dignity and modesty as to com- this splendid testimonial of our long enough. AH Going Same Road. “And so, gentlemen, you are all destined to be members of the ‘Old Guard’ if Father Time will only deal gently with you. “The brevity enforced by the proprieties of the occasion will not permit an elaborate discussion of this or any other sentiment which may be proposed. In truth, if I should attempt anything like a serious sideration of the history of the ‘Old Guard) I would keep you here until morn- B. “Although death has decimated its ranks, the ‘Old Guard’ still lives and its member. ship is too numerous for me to mention their names. ‘Their heroic achievements and inestimable services to their people and count are too well known to need reca- pitulation, Needs No Defense. “The ‘Old Guard’ of today needs no de- fense or eulogy from any quarter. Ite place in history is made, and it is willing to and on the reeord. When the enyiron- ments, poor equipment in education and training, lack of experience, poverty of re- sources and the tremendois responsibiirtie: these men were compelled to assume when the race emerg2d-from slavery and became, in a day, free men and citizens, are con- sidered, it will be conceded that they ac- quitted themgelves with credit, if not with renown, and may confidently ‘rely on the impartial historian of the future to award them the credit and praise which I think all fair-minded men will admit their con- Guet deserves. ‘In monarchial countries it is said ‘The king is dead, tong live the king;’ which means that the king never dies. I close by saying the ‘Old Guard’ never dies, nor sur- renders. “The Old Guard is dead, long live the Old Guard.’ Mr. Lyons -responded to the toast “The Administration.” In the course of his re- marks he urged the absolute necessity of union among colored people of the country if they would seeure recognition by the President.

One of the phases of the war situation, and one which has caused grief and anxiety in many hemes in this city, is the disappearance of young boys. As a rule the youngsters have contracted the war fever and their desire to enlist being thwarted by the withholding of parental consent, they have undertaken to join the army whether their parents are willing or not. As candidates for the army who are under age must have the written consent of their parents or guardians and as that is impossible to obtain at home, they decide to run away. Generally they go to some other city where, assuming a false name, and telling 4 plausible story, they induce some one to obtain from a court authority to act as guardian. Then, with the permission of the guardian they can enlist. ‘¢ No less than nine boys from, different cities have recentiy been before the Police Court in this city, who have confessed that they ran away from their homes and had come here with the purpose of enlisting as soldiers. A number of cases of boys who have dis- appeared from their homes in the city have recently been reported to the police, while a father who has been looking tor his miss- ing boy states that in the course of his recent search he discovered the where- abouts of at least a dozen boys, who had left their homes. oo LOSES BOTH FEET. Mrs. Bridget Cannon Mcets With De- plorable Accident. _~ Mrs. Bridget Canron, a car cleaner em- ployed by the Baltimore and Ohio Ratlroad Ccmpany, made an attempt to get off a moving train at 2d and I streets, about 6:15 o'clock yesterday, and, in doing so, slip- ped and her feet went under the car. Her legs were so badly crushed that it became necessary to amputate both feet. Mrs. Cannon, who has been “in the em- ploy of the railroad company for a num- ber of years, lives at No. 724 2d strest nertheast. In the prosecution of her work, it is necessary for her to go to the railroad yerds at Trinidad. She had been there al- most every day for several years, and it had been her habit to ride in on empty trains as far as 2d street and then jump off. She had been so accustomed to riding in and out on the trains that she had no more trouble boarding them than the men. Yesterday she made her usuai journey, and when near 2d street the engineer applied his brakes and brought the train almost to a stop for Mrs. Cannon's accommodation. She made the effort to jump as she had done so many times before, when she f with the result stated. Drs. Suddarth, Bliss and Johnson were caned and they did what they could to stop the flow of blood until the unfortunate woman could be removed to Providence Hospital. Then the hespital surgeons went to work on the apparently hopeless case and performed a successful operation. As soon as the accident happened, Mr Cannon, who did not lose consciousness, asked for a priest, and she also wanted to see her children. Father O'Connell of St. Aloysius’ Church, responded and offered spiritual consolation. The ninth precinct petrol wagon and the Emergency Hospital ambulance made quick runs in response to the call, but the ambulance was délayed at the H street grade crossing because the gales were down. This morning ut the hospital the phy- sicians stated that the patient had rested well during the night, and she was in much better condition than they had expected. An effort was made to prosecute the con- ductor and engineer of the train by which Mrs. Cannon was injured, but Prosecutor Mullowney, after an investigation, decided that they were not liable to a criminal charge of any kind.

RADCLIFFE, MODERATOR Washington Pastor Honored by the Presby- terian General Assembly. News of His Election Meets With the Hearty Approval of His. Congregation. ‘The general assembly of the Presbyte’ Church, in session at Winona, Ind., vest day, elected Dr. Wallace Radctiffe of this city moderator to succeed Dr. Sheldon Jackson. The contest lay between Dr. Rad- gliffe and Dr. Henry C. McCook of Phila- delphia. Dr. William H. Roberts of that city, having dectined to allow his name to be presented, Dr. McCook asked permission of the assembly to withdraw his name af- Dr. Radcliffe. ter it had been placed in nomination, but no motion to that effect was made. Al- though he said that he did not want to be elected, two-fifths of the commissioners voted for him, Dr. Radcliffe receiving about a hundred votes more than his opponent. After the election of Dr. Radcliffe he was conducted to the platform by the two men who had placed him in nominatton and re- ceive@ from Dr. Jackson the rules of the assembly, from Gov. James A. Mount the welcome of Indiana, and from Dr. E. Trum- bal Lee a gavel of English oak, inlaid with pieces of an oak from Westminster Abbey and of granite from Scotland. Among other decorations was one r senting the rose of England, the thistle of Scotland and the shamrock of ireland. The news of the ion of Dr. Radcliffe was announced last evening at the week prayer meeting at the New York Avenue Presbyterian Church,and naturally aroused great enthusiasm among the workers of the congregation. Upon the motion of Mr. W. B. Gurley, the congratulations of the con- gregation was graphed to the new moderator. This distinction coming to a Washington pastor recalls the fact that not since Rev. Mr. Gurley, then pastor of the New York Avenue Church, was chosen moderator of the general assembly in the year 1857, has such an honor been paid to a member of the assembly from this city. Dr. Radcliffe has been at the head of the large and flourishing congregation that worships in the New York Avenue Presi. terlan Church efnce 1896, having been = ed from the pastorate of the Fort Street Presbyterian Church of Detroit, Mich.
