The popul,r impression is that the
electrical railway Car is a compare
lively new Ide- /; but Mr.. Franklin
Pope, a New York expert in a recent
lecture 10 Struggled Mass ated
that an electric car propeller on n
circular track was exhibited in that
city fly yesrs ago. Still it was more
of a toy than anything else. Prac l.
cslly speaking the use Of elicit, iciry
rs Car motor is only about fif cen
years old. Iu the effort TO develop q
system that would obvia'e overhead
wires. Mr.. Pope says hundreds Of
patents have nean takyn out and
more than 81. 900, 900 expended. In
his judgment the storage bat cry sys-

and no accident can crippleit il. Thesr

There is little difference in the ex-

got of, but re-boardcd the train and
held up the officials and proceeded to

DEATH RATHER THAN ARREST.
An Attempted Suicide Which VIII
Probably Prove Fatal.

About O'Clock today a German named The
odore Greve, about forty-fve years of age, at
tempted suicide in the shoe store of Francis
Miller, 1925 9TH street, just as he was about to
be arrested on a charge Of forgery. Some time
ago Greve is said to have forged a promissory
note for $50 in the name of J. W. H. Schom-
BERT 20l6 K street. and then got Mr. Miller to
discount the note. The forgery was
discovered. and when Greve came into
Mr.. Miller's store this afternoon he
was detained in conversation while the police
were notified by telephone. Officer Ferguson
responded and was about to arrest Greve when
the latter drew 32-caliber revolver from his
side overcoat pocket and pressing it to his abdo-
men, pulled the trigger.
SERIOUSLY WOUNDED.
The bullet entered on the right side of his
body and inflicted serious wound. Officers
Ferguson and Hersey at once removed
the wounded man to the emergency hospital,
where he was attended by DIR. Roster Middle
ton. He was able to give his name and his
residence, which he said was at 1852 Sth street
From papers about his body it was evident
that Greve was in considerable financial
trouble and had been threatened with a suit il
he did not settle certain debts. He was eyi-
IDENTIFY drummer for some tobacco firm.
IN A PRECARIoUs CONDITION
Greve lies in a very precarious condition, as
the doctors think it almost certain that periton-
tits will set in if he does not die of the shock
at once. He was afterward removed to Gar
field hospital, where his wound was further at
tended TO.

to the unfortunate occurrence Of yesterday,
he said: Almighty God, who by the COM

lmplore Thy mercy on the men who have lifted
up the hands of violence and blood in the
presence of justice and in the very home Of
order, and who are. the one in the bondage Of
pain and the other of the law Grant
unto them deep contrition of heart and
true repentance of sin. that they may
obtain sure trust in Thy mercy and the COM
fort OF Thy pardon And, o, God Thou who
knowest the secrets of all our hearts, whether
We ourselves are inwardly better than those we
condemn have mercy on US. Keep us from the
occasion and opportunity of evil and from the
ways OF sinful shame. Let no pride or self

temper pollute our souls or degrade our words

Cole to build under it, and orders that Mrs.
Cole or her agents do within sixty

The Pie Was I'm the Line Of Dutu.

A curious pension case was decided yester-

Hunt, the dependent mother Of John Hunt a
private in the fifty-eighth Indiana volunteers,
applied for pension. 1t appears that while in
the service Hunt one day purchased pie from
pie woman and ate it. Shortly afterward he
died, and in the absence of post mortem eK-
animation. it is presumed he was poisoned by
the pie. Gen. Bussey decides that Hunt met
his death while in the line of duty, and if the
mother can show her dependence npOn the son
a pension shall be pranted
