After seventeen years of hard service on the frontier he returned to Virginia during the civil war. His sympathies were with the south, it is said, but he refrained en- ttrely from engaging In the conflict. It was in the early 70's that Major Ball again returned to the national capital. He then engaged in the butter business in Center market. When the Washington Monument was nearing completion he ap- plied for the position of custodian, His friends made a bold but vain fight for him, and he failed in the aspiration. The major Was very much chagrined and disappointed. Through Mr. Binger Herman, whom he ha known in Oregon, he secured from the Sec- retary of the Interior the privilege of sell- ‘ng cigars and tobacco in the pension office. His business in this line increased splendid- ly and he became very proud of his stand. He had a picture of the place taken and stood prominently in the foreground. ——.__. w is a Divorce.

Are the Trip Levers Discarded ?— Twisted, Useless Fenders in Dally Service. To the Editor of The Evening-Star: I happened to be present at the investiga- tion into the cause of the accident which happened in Georgetown on the 9th instant, whereby a child was run over by a Metro- politan car. The evidence showed that the child was struck by a Parmenter fender, at- tached to the same car and partly caught, It then rolled out and went under the fen- der, past the trip frame of the wheel guard, Was drawn in under the wheel guard and its life was crushed out by the wheel guard. One witness swore that the car ran at fif- teen miles per hour; others swore that the Speed was seven, eight, nine or ten miles per hour. Which was it? It was stated that the car had just started froma crossing; that the brake was not quite off. Was it possible to speed the car to ten or fifteen miles per hour within the distance of le: than half a block? The representative o the car company swore that the fender and wheel guard were in proper condition. The fact is that the fender was not in proper condition, as understood when adopted by our Commissioners. The fender could not be dropped; the lever for doing it was not in place, having been discarded by the company as no good. The wheel guard killed the child. The jury did not investi- Bate the real cause of the death, but brought in a verdict that the child y luiled by the excessive speed of the car! The question is, Is this fender the proper device to be used on a street car for saving life? R. F. PREUSSER. itor of The Evening Star: The District Commissioners compel the street car companies to equip their cars with a certain style of fender, which has been improved upon until they have suc- ceeded in securing a fender which is almost perfect (the one now in use on all roads ve the Columbia). By means of a lever, which is operated by the motorman's knee, this fender can be dropped flat. upon the surface of the street, thereby making it im- possible for anything to get under the car. In proof of this statement I myself saw a motorman, for his own amusement, drop the fender in front of his car and push a broomstick from the track. Please allow me, through your columns to protast against the criminal carelessness of certain of the motormen on the City and Surburban road (C street line), who fail to keep in the proper socket the lever whereby they would drop their fender to save the life of a fellow being. This is no idle statement, but something which { have noticed for months. On some of the cars the levers are missing entirely and the sockets filled with dirt. Also allow me to protest against the-un- lawful speed with which some of these cars come down the slight incline on C street northeast, beginning at 6th and cros: ing 7th street, at the rate of twenty or twenty-five miles per hour. We on Capitel Hill put up with many things from this company. We make no protest when they take off four of our cars and make us wait six minutes for a car instead of five. as the law provides; but we do ask protection for our child The District Commissioners ought to e ita misdemeanor for a motorman to so tamper with one of th fenders as to make it useless In emergency cases. The statements I have made relative to the unlawful speed of the cars on C street between 6th and 7th streets can easily be verified by bicycle police if they will spend few minut h day in that neighbor- hood. BR To the Ki ening Star: own aecident which cost a 's Ife the other day calls attention > more to the effieacy of the fenders in on the local lines. Without going into the merits of this particular style of fender it must be plain to the average ob- server that the very finest device in the world would be useless in an emergency are if not kept in better condition than dozens of the fenders of the Washi ¢ Many of them are twis would be impossible for a motorm: E crisis to re the lower edge with the pavement. Yesterday a Brookland c the City and Suburban line went up 5th street from Pennsylvania avenue with Its fender wrenched at least two feet out of place, protruding far over the track to the side. Fortunately, it bent toward the out- side of the track, else it may be doubted whether this car could have passed an- other. Judging from previous observation this broken fender may have been allowed to remain In place for many hours—perhaps it is in use today. I have frequently seen the same twisted apology for a fender doing duty on the same car for 2 week without a sign of repairs, It would have been far better for the motorman on the car on 5th What Shall We Have for Dessert?
