had reached Heath point and reported that the
steamer went ashore at 6 am. on Sunday ten
miles off that point. He stated that no one had
been on board the steamer since the accident
occurred. The weather was very rough, and
two compartments OF the vessel were full of
water then. She struck in a bad place and her
position is dangerous. 1t is very probable that
the government will be asked to dispatch the
government steamer Napoleon to the Brook

granted. The Napoleon is the only vessel which
is MT to be sent out in the gulf during the pre-
vaiIing stormy weather. She is a very fast boat

hours from the time of her departure from here

Cheap Horse Car Fares.

10 the Editor OF the EVENING STAR:
see there is some talk among the directors
of the Metropolitan horse-car company of
abolishing their cheap and convenient ticket
system, and raising their fares. Incidentally
it is mentioned that they have a charter right
to charge eight cents for a ride. Let them ex-
ercise this right, and see what will become of
their receipts. The one good feature of the
Washington hOrse-car system is cheapness of
fare and tree interchange of tickets. Where
there is one person who would ride for eight
cents, there are ten who will pay four; and were
III not Tor the eXchangeable tickets the cars
would lose a very large portion, perhaps half,
OF their patronage. Take my own case for in
stance. AS it is now use about four packages
OF tickets week. If had to pay eight cents
to ride, should walk TRAMP.

fore regaining sufficient strength to make her

A terrible struggle had occurred between the

torn from her person and she was badly chOked
and bruised. There is the utmost Indignation
among the citizens over the crime, and several
