A CABLE CAR ACCIDENT.
The Conductor, the Gripman and q Lady
Passenger Injured.

About o'clock last night train Is on the
cable road came to full stop on 7th street at
the Virginia avenue crossing with n report like
a cannon shot A recoil Of about ten feet fol-
lowed. The grip had evidently struck some-
thing in the slot and the force of the collision
was so violent that Harry Robinson. the grip
man, was struck in the breast by the lever and
thrown of the car. A lady, whose name could
not be learned, was thrown out Of the rear car
on her face and badly cut, and the conductor,
Mr.. Lawson, was somewhat shaken up and was
taken to his home, 1903 9th street southwest. It
was thought at first that the accident was
caused by mischievous boys driving spike in
the slot, but as the location is where the Balti-
more and Potomac tracks cross the cable in
full view of the Waterman continuously on duty
there, it is now supposed that bolt or spike
from passing railroad train dropped on the
slot in such a way as to cause the accident
THE SPIKE WHICH CAUSED THE ACCIDENT.
Superintendent Sailer of the railroad company
visited police headquarters this morning and
left with Acting Captain Vernon railroad
spike that caused the accident He thought
that the spike had either been dropped in the
cable slot by the railroad men accidentally or
that 1t had been placed there by mischievous
boys. The captain promised to investigate the
matter as far possible. and the spike was
held rs evidence in event OF any prosecutions
in the future.

From the Pail Mall Gazette.

From the Pail Mall Gazette.
Gen. Booth, in his eorders and regulations
for salvation soldiers say that '.while our
soldiers should avoid taking away from active
sevicc more time than is really necessary for
the purpose OF counting either by conversation
or correspondence, it is not to the interest OF
the parties nor of the army that marriage
should take place without sufficient previous
acquaintance" He further says: mo engage
ment should be made, and no marriage take
place. between parties who have not reason
able prospect OF maintaining themselves and
their families when married in decent comfort
The army will not sanction or take part in any
marriage which seems likely to end miserably,
owing to the difference of age. circumstances
or position of the parties, or of the probable
inability OF either party to perform tho duties
that would devolve upon them in their new re-
lation." He remarks: "A person who is all
that can be desired ON the platform may be en-
tirely unsuitable as husband or wife,"
The general adds: mo persons can be SOL
dlers who are cohabiting with those to whom
they are not married or who voluntarily con-
tinue to live in the position of having deserted
husband or wife, except for extraordinary rea-
sons. Persons living together unlawfully
should either marry or separate. But while no
absolute rule can BIO laid down which will
apply to all cases il would naturally be the
duty of the man who wishes to be d soldier 10
marry the woman with whom he lived unless
she was unwilling or there were some strong
reasons to the contrary. In these matters
every soldier must consider the honor of the
flag continually committed to his or her care"
The army's Articles OF Marriage" commit
the contracting parties to tho solemn dcclara-
ton that 1--WE have not sought this marriage
for the sake Of our own happiness and interests
only, although VIC hope these will be furthered
thereby; but because We believe that the
union will enable us better to please and serve
God and more earnestly and successfully to
fight and work in the Salvation Army We
hereby promise that we will not allow our mar
riage i'll any way to lessen our devotion to God.
our affection for our comrades. or our faithful
ness in the army. We also promise always to

Should either of Us from sickness. death or
