HIS INJURIES PROVED FATAL.

William Lacey Dies from the Effect of
Being Struck by a Cable Car.
William Lacey, who was struck by cable
car on Saturday near the Peace Monument,
and was taken to the Emergency hospital,
died yesterday morning. Coroner Hammett
will hold an inquest to-day at the Sixth pre-
cinct station.
When taken to the hospital Lacey did not
appear to be seriously hurt. and It was
thought he would soon be able to leave To-
ward midnight, however. he began to sink
and at o'clock yesterday morning died.
Later the body was removed to the morgue.
As soon as the condition of Lacey became
serious Mr.. Eppley. the gripman, was ar
rested and locked up at the Sixth precinct
station, where he will be held until after the
inquest.
1t is alleged that Lacey was intoxicated
and walked directly across the track i'll front
of the moving train, which knocked him
down. Eppley stopped his train as quickly
as possible, but not before the unfortunate
man had received fatal injuries about the
| head.
Lacey was fifty years old and his home was
! in Occoquan. Va where he formerly con-
Quoted the drug business, but at the time OF
his death carried on painting. He was a
| widower with three children, the oldest about
/ fourteen years old He had come to Wash
| ington, rs was his custom every three
months, to draw his pension, having been a
soldier in the Union army.
| Lacey had a brother-in-law George S.
| Seleeman, residing at No. 1914 Four-and-a-
| halt street southwest who will send the re-
| mains to Occoquan for burial.

But a fraction over so per cent. hire or rent
their habitations; the others are monarchs of
all they survey, albeit in many instances sub
ject to incumbrance.
1t is interesting TO note that Washington
stands fifth in the list of cities as regards the
average value of owned homes. This is
given as s7,O54, those outranking it being
New York with SIS, 200 San Francisco, 1888;
Brooklyn, s7,S49, and Omaha, $7,179. The
average value of such homes in cities having
at least 100000 population is given as $500,
so that it will be seen that Washington is al
ready far ahead of the great majority of large
cities in this country that are loud in their
pretensions. but hereafter in this respect, at
least. will have 10 take back seat.

Company Had Impure Motives.

The statement in THE TIMES to the effect
that the Peoples Transportation Company
does not own the steamer Lady OF the Lake
excited considerable curiosity among the COL
ored population of Washington. Among them
was Mr.. E. L. Cooper, manager of the Col
ored American. He contemplated buying
stock in the company, but wanted some as
surance that the affairs were in good condi-
ton before investing his money He ad-
dressed a letter OF inquiry to Mr.. L. H. Doug

pany's affairs. The following reply was re-

THE ROLL or HONOR.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Sept. Prom the stories
of passengers on the limited train which was
burned near Hinckley, the entire train crew
deserve to be placed on the roll OF honor for
personal heroism Engineer James Root, of
White Bear, heads the list, and will have a
thrilling story 90 tell if he RECEIVERS from
his injuries He was badly burned and
almost blinded and fell from his seat uncon-
scious Immediately on getting through the
fires. Fireman John MCGOWAN was a good
companion for him in the cab, and the other
members of the crew-C Conductor Jerry Sulli-
van. Brakema Monahan. Baggagemaster
George Morris and Porter Blair-were fit as
socares for the hero who led them into what
was literally fiery furnace.
When about two miles north of Hinckley,
Engineer Root first discovered that the
fires, which had been raging on both
sides of the track, were racing him
for his life and the lives of his
passengers. Cinders were flying in every
direction and the smoke was SO dense it was
well nigh impossible to see beyond the cab
windows even with the aid of the powerful
headlight At first he thought to outrun the
flames, which were coming after and bearing
| down upon him at a siXty-mile gait.
Then about a mile and half from Hinck-
ley he discovered that the fire was too fast
for him, having overtaken the train and over
l leapt it SO that the train was literally sur
