Mamie Honesty, a colored servant, who lives on the Little Falls road between the Canal road and the tracks of the Washing- ton ard Great Falls electric road, was seriously and perhaps fataily injured last evening shortly after 11 o'clock, one of the cars running over’ both her lower limbs. As a result of the matter, Curly Johnson, aged thirty-five, and Arthur Hazebrook, aged twenty-six, both colored, were arrest- ed about 1 o'clock this morning by Police- men Steinbraker and Berryman, and held at the Georgetown station on a charge of suspicion. : The accident occurred at the road which Jeads fromthe car track ‘to the Girls’ -Re-+ form School. perhaps a quarter of a mile inside the District line. The etectric¢ car, train No. 26, was in charge of Claude Clements, motorman, and S. 8. F. Shoe- maker, conductor. On either side of the railroad track where the accident occurred there are gullies, which are used for gut- ters.. Spanning these natural gutters are wooden bridges, which enable wagons to cross. = The Motorman’s Story. According to the story of the motorman, when coming down the track he noticed something lying partly across the tracks on the’ wooden. bridge. He applied . the brakes as quickly as possible, but too late to avoid running over the object. By the way in which the car jolted the employes knew that they had run over a person, and when the train was stopped a few feet dis- tant an investigation disclosed the fact that a colored woman had been run over, koth legs being crushed. Judging by the wounds the woman must have been lying obliquely across the track. One limb was crusned near the calf, while the other was crushed exactly across the knee csp. Without any delay the woman was lifted up and placed on. the train. While doing this two colored men ap- proached, claimed that the woman was with them, and they wanted to fight the conductor and motorman because of the accident. When the train reached George- town the patrol wagon was in_readiness and carried the woman to the Emergency Hospital. Here it was found that amputa- tion was necessary, and both legs were cut off. This morning the woman appeared to be resting quietly, with the chance of recovery in her favor. x Two Men Arrested. Acting under instructions, Policemen Steinbraker and Berryman went out to the scene of the accident, Dr, Hagner accom- panying them. At the track they found a piece of the knee cap and other portions of the bones of the legs. Going to the wo- man's home, they met Johnson and Haze- brook, who admitted being with the wo- man. They claimed that they had been to Curtin’s club house, and that they wanted to put Mamie Honesty on.a car, but she refused to go. One of the men walked down with her, and carried her to near the scene of the accident. He alleges that he left her inside of a fence, about ten feet from the track. Another woman, by the name of Mary Dechas, was with the party, so they stated, and after leaving Mamie Honesty ai the place described they went back after the other woman. Immediately after the accident, when Johnson and Hazebrook appeared. and wanted to fight, Great Chance for Cyclists. | Bicycles and Sundries.

The average newspaper reader glances in a casual way at the statement that the re- port of the overthrow of Spanish arms comes by means of the dispatch boat so- and-so; he skims through a statement which explains that the news was obtain- ed by a man who risked his life to get it: he notes in a perfunctory manner the ex- planation that the dispatch was delayed a little in transmission, little dreaming that the delay was caused by the inability of the writer to get it in quicker time over eight miles of mountain and-swamp, and gives} the matter no more thought. It is only those who Sit in the exccutive offices of the great newspapers and news- | gathering essociations who Know what a ghastly thing from a financial standpoint is this business of reporting a nineteenth century war, the seat of which is on an is- land a goodly distance from the mainland. | In conversing with the writer on this sub- ject, Melville E.

A Commissioners fo Determine Amoant of Street Railway Stock Issue. The recent opinion of the attorney for the District, in reply’ to inquiries relative to the privileges and requirements of the re- cently acquired charter of the Washing- ton and University Railroad Company, called attention to a feature of that char- ter which is ‘rather novel in legislation of this class. In the clause relative to the issue of stock and bonds the law provides “that the total issue of sald bonds and stocks shall not in the aggregate exceed the amount necessary for the cost of con- struction and equipment of its railway and buildings, and before any bonds or stock shall be issued the amount thereof shall be ascertained and fixed by the Com- missioners of the District of Columbia; and for this purpose said Commissioners are hereby authorized to subpoena and examine witnesses and take such testimony as may be necessary to enable them to make such determination and fix the amount of the issue.” A similar clause is inserted in the bill passed at the last session of Congress which gives the Columbia Railroad Com- pany the right to build an eastern exten- sion of the line. Although a charter was granted to the East Washjngton Heights Railway Company, and pfactieally new charters to the Belt and the Eckington roads, the same session of Congress when the bills above referred to became laws, yet no provision of this character was in- serted. The evident purpose is fo prevent what is known as “watering stock,” and as it is an entirely new device, in this lo- cality at least, the practical operation will be watched with considerable interest. —_—.__ GEORGETOWN'S NEW HOSPITAL.

The opening was very quict and fot attend- ed by any ceremony. The building was not thrown open for the inspection of the pub- lic. Instead, notices were sent through the mails to about 40 local physicians, an- nouncing the fact that on and after today the hospital would be ready to receive all classes of patients and treat them with the best mod2rn methods. ‘The emergency ward of the place, while ready for all cases that may be brought, is not as fully equipped as it will be later in the season.

Evening Star Bureau, No. 727 King Street, Bell Telephone No, 106, ALEXANDRIA, Va., August 15, 1898, A eollision occurred yesterday at Orange Ccurt House between a northbound freight on the Southern road and a Chesapeake | and Ohio engine, in which Engineer James Geedwin of the Southern train was badly injured. It seems that the Chesapeake and Ghio engine was doing some shifting on the tracks between the two roads, and by mis- take got out on the Southern main track, where the road comes around a verg sharp eurve. Engineer Goodwin saw the impend- ing disaster just in time to jump. His shoulder blade was injured, and his anki badly sprained, whieh necessitated his be- ing removed to his home on upper King street, where he was attended by Dr. Gib- son. George Ramey, a brakeman, also jumped, but escaped with slight bruises. The engines were badly injured, the front trucks being knocked out and some cars were damaged. Overdose of Laudanum. Mrs. Geo. Sieders, Mving on Princess street between Columbus and Washington, yesterday took an overdose of laudanum, nearly castirg her life. Officer Howison, who was passing by the house at the time, was attracted by the screams of a child, and entered, finding Mrs. Sieders almost dead. The officer call- ed a physician, who administered emetics in time to save her life. Mrs. Sieders has been in ill! health for some time past, and it is supposed that she took the laudanum with a view of alleviat- irg her sufferings. Police Court Proceedings. Albert Redman was before Mayor Simp- son on a charge of using insulting lan- guage to ladies in the market house. The evidence showed that Redman, though rendered unaccountable by drink, was guilty, and the mayor fined him $3. Om- cers Wilkinson and Lyles made the arrest. Georgana Williams, colored, was arrested by Officer Ferguson on a charge of disor- derly conduct. Jennie Gordon made complaint and_ twelve witnesses te: the evidence showing that Jennie Gor so guilty. The mayor fined them both $2.50. Mary Springsteal, colored, was arrested by Officer Lyles, charged with using pro- fané language. ‘She endeavored to elude the officer by crawling under a*house near “Hard Corner, but was secured after some difficulty.’ The mayor fined her $2. Conference of Seventh Day Adventists The conference proper of the Seventh Day Adventists at Hume's Grove Camp bi gan today at 9:30 o'clock, Elder D. C. Bab- cock of Richmond presiding. It was an- nounced that Elder Underwood would preach this morning at 11 o'clock, and Elder White would conduct the evening services. Miss Tate of the sanitarilum at Battle Creek, Mich., will deliver a series of talks on healthful dressing, eating and healthful living in general. Yesterday several from this city attended the camp, about 1,000 people in all being present. The Mule Camp Deserted. The mule camp at St. Asaph is now prac- tically deserted, only a few mules being left after the shipment to Dunn Loring of 100 Saturday night. It is expected, how- ever, that a large number’ of unbroken mules w.il soon arrive, to receive prepara- tion for service. Not Yet Decided. More than usual interest was attached to the services at the First Baptist Church yesterday, because it was expected that Mr. Butler would announce his decision relative to withdrawing his resignation; but Mr. Butler sald that he would ask a Mttle longer time in which to decide this important question. Several delegates from the church, including the pastor, will at- tend the Baptist Association, which meets at Remington, Va., this week. News in Brief. The property owners concerned in the case of the defective sewer between Duke and Wolf streets will meet today in Mr. Dunn's office to decide what shall be dor They will probably accept the city en- gineer’s offer to give an estimate of the cost of piping and to furnish dirt for fill- ing up the yards. ‘ The board of fire wardens has purchased a fine black horse for the Columbia hose wagon. Mr. A. C. Helton of Winchester furnished the animal, Which is of fine val- ley stock, young and speedy. No purchases have yet been made for the Hydraulion wagon. ‘The ice supply, excepting that manufac- tured, is totally exhausted in this city, and no vessels have been reported on the Po- tomac, but cargoes are overdue at this port. It was rumored that there are two cases of yellow fever in Del Ray, but inquiry early this morning failed to substantiate this report. —.—___. CONDUCTOR BADLY BEATEN. Three Men Under Arrest for the Al- leged Assault, There was quite a serious fight last even- ing on a Great Falls electric car, which was coming into Georgetown, and as a result the chances are that Harry Lanford, the conductor, will lose one of his eyes. John Shugrue, a blacksmith, aged thirty-one; William Westbrook, aged thirty-three, a cigar maker, and Dennis Southeron, aged twenty, a laborer, were arrested later and locked up at the Georgetown station on a charge of disorderly conduct on a street car, and also with assaulting the conductor. According to the story of the conductor, the three men were behaving 60 badly and using so much vulgarity that the conductor was forced to caution them several times. Finding that this did no good, he threat- ened to eject them from the car, and in doing this he was roughly treated. The three men jumped on him and beat him badly. Southeron is said to have been one of the party who picked up a stone and threw it at the conductor, striking him di- rectly under the right eye and making a nasty wound. When the car came into town the police were notified, and later in the evening all three men were arrested and held at the station. —-—__ .IT WILL PROBABLY RAIN. The Michael-Morvan Bicyele Race An- nounced for Tonight.
