TROLLEY CAR ON FIRE.
Flames Broke Out as It Was
Passing Brooklyn's City Hall.
Caused a Stampede on the Part Of
the Passengers.
And Then tho Blaze Was Put Out
with . Pail of Water.

AZ trolley car No. 3.4ea. of the Cross
town line. passed by the Brooklyn City
Hall on Joralemon street this morning
the power-box caught fire and for a few
minutes there was considerable excite
ment.
The smoke and flame shot up through
the cracks In the floor, and the passen-
gers made a hurried exit.
The conductor and motorman left the
car and ran across the street to pro-
cure a handful of sand with which to
put out the blaze.
The fire gained rapidly, and smoke
was soon pouring out of all parts of
the car, and 1t looked as though there
would be work for the fire-engines until
q passer-by got pailful of water,
which he poured into the motor-box
That put out the fire. and then the
car proceeded on Its way, with only
slight damage to the woodwork OF the
motor-box.
There appears to be no end to the
perils to which travellers in trolley cars
are exposed.

between Hynes and SteinitZ. Hymes open
ed with Ruy Lopez which Steinitz, after
+. to .. r. 3, threw into the special de-
Tense he has recently advocated by playing
pawn to queens third on the fourth move.
The game was drawn by repetition of

clusion that Hymes was willing to accept
a draw as a matter of course in game
with q master who has held the champion
ship of the world for twenty-five years.
while Stenitz was willing to accept a draw
as tending to prove his claim that his de-
Tense is a safe one against the most form
liable attack, which, according to the
theory and practice of frst-class masters,
white has at his disposal" At least, so he
puts it in his notes on this game. Mean
while, Steinitz has lost half a point In the
tourney, and 1t is remembered that Lasker
passed through such contest a year ago
without losing a single game.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
Having read in The Star the remarks at
tributed to Mr.. Dunlop, acting president Of
the Washington and Georgetown Railroad
Company, regarding street car tenders,
beg to be allowed a few words In reply. Mr.
Dunlop states that the search for tenders
still goes on, and that the matter Is still as
problematical as ever. In the above state
ment he is certainly mistaken. l have seen
tested on a car running on the Brightwood
electric road q wheel-guard fender board
that were 1t cushioned, would solve the
problem of street tenders. Others, in
Guiding Commissioners Ross and Powell,
have also seen the test. Permit me to state
for Mr. Dunlops information that the rail-
way men land so should the public demand
the following qualifications in fender appli-
ances namely, neatness, simplicity, dura-
bility automatic action and capabillty or
being carried exceedingly high, so that Ii
will conform to any road bed, thus passing
over immovable distractions and uneven
ness of road. The Brightwood car fender Is
held in place by yielding bar attached to
springs, and has three ACKNOWLEDGEMENT,
downward and upward-so that when III
contact with a movable object the minimum
power of the trip apron yields to the linz
ting check of springs and allows the board
To 90 downward, causing it to rub the
ground, Thus the object is pushed aside by
the car in motion. when the upward spring

seated on the edge of cliff about sixty
feet above the spring around which the

denly, without warning, Miss Riley lost her

Bile calamity tried to save her, but only
succeeded in going over with her They
fell sheer down to the ground, and at first
1t was thought they were killed. But both
revived soon, and 1t now seems that Miss
Riley's injuries are not very serious. Mr..
Trimble was only scratched, and escaped
with little or no hurt. 1t is considered al
most beyond belief that both young people
were not instantly killed by the fall. Miss
Riley is the daughter of the late Mr.. VIM.

CYCLING NOTES.
Local Wheclmen. Doing Less Riding
This Fall Than Usual.

Wheelmen are doing less riding this fall
than they have done for many years, and
with this decrease in riding comes cor
responding interest in racing, both on the
road and track. All this season the local
wheelmen have been figuring on races on
the road and tracks, and with considerable
success. The Georgetown club road race is
soon to occur, and then, on Thanksgiving
day, the Clifton Baltimore) road race is to
take place In the Georgetown clubs race
only members of the club are to participate
and all the fast riders in the club are now
getting in good riding condition for the
event. With this club the road race is the
event Of the year. and in it all the fast
riders take interest, for the result deter
mines the men who are to constitute the
club team and represent the club on the
track in, this city and elsewhere. The Cliff
ton race'Gs regarded as bringing to close
the racing season, and in this event many
local men will enter and endcavor to re-
peat their former visits and bring home a
number of prizes.
