Pleasant, was killed last evening short- ly after 6 o'clock on the Cenduit road near Glen Echo, through the running away of a pair of horses attached to a buggy in which he was riding. E. V. Douglas, who was in the buggy at the time of the accident, es- caped with ccmparatively slight injuries though rendered unconscious for some time. The deceased was thirty-one years of age and lived with his parents at the above address. His body was not discovered un- til two hours after the accident, and, after due legal proceedings, was brought to Géorgetown on a special car some time after midnight and conveyed to Lee's un- dertaking establishment. x The accounts of the accident are very meager. The two men started out early in the morning for a trip to Great Falls, leav- ing the city about 10 o'clock In the morn- ing. They left Great Falls about 5 o'clock in the afternoon, and an hour later reached Cabin John bridge. Here some time was spent, possibly half an hour or longer, and when the return trip to Washington was made it was quite dark, the moon not hav- ing risen at that time. It is supposed the horses became frightened just before reach- ing Glen Echo and@iashed away. The ve- hicle ran down a side road leading to Glen Echo and upset. Mr. Douglas was thrown out and struck the ground, while Mr. Hel- mus is supposed to have struck a tree when thrown through the air. He remained where his body struck, while the horses continued down the road, and were not stopped inside of two miles from the scene of the accident. The body was’ discovered about 8:30 o'clock by a party of men on the way to the bridge. Mr. Douglas was picked up and placed on a car and taken to Georgetown. While in Georgetown, on the way to the Georgetown University Hospital, he re- gained consciousness and was permitted to go to his home at 1935 Pennsylvania ave- nue. A friend saw him home, and then broke the sad news of his compantion’s death to the parents of the deceased. The body of Mr. Helmus was taken to Glen Echo, and viewed by ‘Squire Offutt, who gave a certificate of accidental death, after listening to the meager testimony. A per- mit was given to bring the remains to Washington, and this was immediately done. ‘The deceased was the son of Mr. William Helmus, who formerly conducted a saloon on 7th street above D street. He was single, and employed by Mr. Dougias in the gentlemen’s furnishing store of the latter at 18th and F streets. He was a well- knowa young man and his friends greatly regret to hear of his sudden death. ee eee CHANGE NOT ADVISABLE. Commissioners Decline to Abandon System Requiring Check Deposits. The American Surety Company of New York recently wrote Engineer Commission- er Beach, requesting that the present regu- lations requiring a certified check to accom- pany each bid for supplies or work to be done under contract with the District. de mc dified so as to permit the guarantee of a surety company to take the place of such a check, The matter was first referred to Mr. A. Y. Lakeman, chief clerk of the engineer depart- ment, who stated that if there be no legal objection, the arrangement suggested would be more desirable than the certified check system, as there had been many cases where the return of the check had miscarried. He expressed the opinion that the guarantee of a surety company, authorized to do busi- ness in the District, would be preferable. Mr. J. T. Petty, the auditor of the District, to whom the matter was next referred, ex- pressed a different opinion. The object of a cash deposit or its equivalent, a certified check, is to provide, he explained, an {m- mediate and effective remedy in the case of an accepted bidder who fails to execute the necessary contract. The proposed change of method would, Mr. Petty stated, defeat this end, and almost of necessity re- quire an appeal to the courts for the en- forcement of the penalty against a default- ing bidder. “The law’s delays,” said Mr. Petty, ‘are proverbial, and the embarrassments inci- dent to a trial in court numerous and vex- atious, to avoid which the system in vogue was adopted. It works well, without hard- ship to any save those who would evade their just obligations, and, if the interests of the District are to be considered, should not be disturbed.” Upon the motion of Engineer Commission- er Beach, the Commissioners have con- curred in the opinion of Mr. Petty, and the ew York company will be informed that Commissioners do not consider it ad- sable to make the change requested by it. +> ANNUAL EIGHTH MEETING.

Weber, $3; Louisa Brown, PROPOSED CONSOLIDATION Suggested Purohate of the Capital Railway Franchise, Letter Addressed tto the Capital Trac- tion Manageramy 0. G. Staples, & Large Stockholder. Mr. O. G. Staples:who is the owner of 600 shares of stocktin the Capital Traction Company, has sent n letter to President George T. Dunlop ofcthat company, urging that steps be at once taken by the directors of the latter to acquire the Capital rail- way’s line, which connects with the Capital Traction’s line at the navy yard gate and extends to Congress Heights. A copy of the letter has also been sent to each stock- holder of the Capital Traction Company. Mr. Staples’ letter was as follows: “As a stockholder of the Capital Trac- tion I desire to call your attention to a matter I consider of vital importance to the Capital Traction. A syndicate has bought the Anacostia railway bonds. The equip- ping with electricity of this road means much to the Capital Traction, as it prac- tically parallels it for over two miles and would be a great blow to it. In addition to this the Capital Traction would lose its passengers from the Capital railway, the receipts of which road shows since the Capital Traction substituted electric power for horses, about six months, have carried 526,957 passengers with only two cars. Es- timating one-third fares cash and the bal- ance at six tickets for a quarter, the re- ceipts for the two roads, by this connec- tion, aggregate $23,420.20. What It Pays. “Now, one-half of this amount is $11,- 710.10, which pays the interest on one-half a million ($500,000) dollars of the ‘Capital Traction 4 per cent bonded indebtedness for the six months since the Capital Trac- tion has been running electric cars to the navy yard. This does not include the amount earned by the Capital Railway Company. “It would cost the Capital Traction but a small amount to operate this road, certain- ly cheaper than the Capital railway can, which is able to operate the road at a profit, usmg an experimental underground system and pulling their cars across the bridge with horses, besides giving the Cap- ital Traction the above receipts. If it cost the Capital Traction half of the receipts to operate the road, the receipts for the last six months since the electric cars have been running to the navy yard would have @ profit of $11,710, or the interest on $468,- 000 5 per cent bonds, during this time. “The Capital railway makes this showing with only two cars. Thousands of passen- gers have been turned away fer want of more cars. If the Capital Traction owned the portion of the road now built by the Capital railway there would be no fear of the Anacostia road equipping any portion of its road with such a competitor as the Capital Traction running through its best territory. Anacostia the Key. “It has been said by one of the syndicate who bought the Anacostia bonds that the Capital railway is the key to the situation, and it has endeavered to secure an option on the road for the syndicate. “It is, im my judgment, far better for the Capital Traction te secure this road than to extend the Pennsylvania avenue line out Pennsylvania avenue to the Eastern Branch bridge, for it will be ten years be- fore this Pennsyivania avenue extension will pay even operating expenses.” The existence of Mr. Staples’ letter has been known in imner railroad circles for several days past, and, as a result, aere has been considerablesagitation on the mat- ter. The Anacostia read parallels the. ‘ap- ital. Traction frem <lith and M str southeast entirely up to 9th and G streets northwest, and from 4% street and Missouri avenue to 9th and G streets it uses the tracks of the MetropoMtan line. When the syndicate which has just purchased the Anacostia road completes its rapid: transit system there will be a powerful competitor to she Capital Traction in what 1s ‘consider- ed its best territory. * At present, as Is explained in Mr, Staples’ letter, the Capital Raflway Company is transferring its passengers to the other at the nayy yard gate, although the Capital Railway Company has the right to-extend fits Hne-up 1th street to a junction with the Metropolitan at Lincoln Park. oe WILL SERVE FOUR John Chambers Pays the Penalty for Violating a Law.

Typographical Union Thanks Presi- dent McKinley and Mr. Heath. A largely attended meeting of Columbia Typographical Union, No. 101, was held yes- terday. A resolution was adopted stating “that Columbia Typographical Union, No, 101, hereby expresses its gratification to President McKinley for the signal honor he has done this union in appointing Mr. John L. Kennedy to membership in the in- dustrial commission. Columbia Union was the first labor organization to indorse Mr. Kennedy’s candidacy. Typographical unions and central labor bodies in all parts of the United States followed the lead,” the reso- lutions recite, “and it is a source of pride to us to know that no representative of | bor was ever more generally or highly in- dorsed for public office. To our fellow unionists of other cities who have indorsed Mr. Kennedy we desire to give the strong- est assurance that they have made no mis- take. Mr. Kennedy has always been faith- ful and able in the cause of unionism, and when the labors of the industrial commis- sion shall have been finished the union men of America will have the absolute knowl- edge that their influence placed the right man in the right place.” A preamble and resolution were adopted thanking Mr. Perry S. Heath, first assistant postmaster general, for his course toward union labor, after which Mr. Heath was elected an honorary member of the union. —— “The Royal Limited.” The most superb equipment in the world.

The statement has been made that the muster out rolls and other papers of the District regiment will be found to be in more perfect shape than those of any other volunteer regiment. The ceremony of muster out yesterday was interesting because of its simplicity. Each company marched into the drill hall and the company commander, under the supervision of the chief mustering officer, called the roll. As his name was an nounced each man answered “Here” and stepped two paces to the front. The com- pany then proceeded to the pay table, lo- cated in the center of the armory drill hall, and each man received the money due him and also a certificate of discharge. He was then at liberty, for the first time in six months, to go and do as he pleased, so far as military dictates are concerned. The field and staff officers were the first to be mustered out, this occurring shortly after 10 o'clock yesterday morning. The non-commissioned staff and band followed. Then the companies of the 1st Battalion re- ported. It was after 11 p.m. when the last company of the regiment_was discharged. Some of the officers whose“accounts are not yet closed and a number of enlisted men who were prevented by iliness from attend- ing the ceremony were not, technical! mustered out yesterday, although their pay ceased at midnight. Major Muhlenberg was the paymaster as- signed to close accounts with the District regiment. He appeared at the armory ear- ly yesterday morning, accompanied by sev- eral clerks and a guard, to say nothing of three iron safes. These latter contained coin and sliver certificates to the amount of more than $100,000. It was mostly gold coin. Each enlisted man received a sum in the neighborhood of $100. To Capt. George K. MeGunnigle, 15th U. S. Infantry, chief mustering officer, and his assistants, Lieut, C. H. McNeil, 5th United States Artillery, and Lieut. H. LaF. Apple- white, 6th United States Artulery, credit is due for the smoothness with which the muster out was conducted. The members of Company E, before dis- persing yesterday, presented their com- manding officer, Capt. . Graham, with a costly and beautiful sword. The speech of presentation was made by F.rst S-rg°aat Lamb. Captain Graham responded appro- priately. ee Bible Service.
