j WILD" TRoLLEY.-The passen-
gers on the one o'clock car for Mount
Vernon last evening experienced de-
cided sensation and which for the time
bordered on panic. The first mishap
to the car was its derailment at the
corner of King and Royal streets. This,
however, beyond some impotence at
the delay, was soon forgotten and mat
ters ran smoothly until after passing
the Dyke, when a succession of loud
reports, the severe Earring of the Car
together with bits of broken glass flying
around their heads, caused every one
who was not too much frightened to
leave the seats, to fill the aisle and
rush for the platforms. The ladies
contented themselves with screams and
threats of fainting, but the car was
soon brought TO a standstill and the
anxious inquiries of "What is it?'
Train robbers 2" Dynamite ?" "Ar-
tillery 2" &C., were answered by the
discovery that by some means the rope
attached to the trolley bar had become
loosened and catching on the over
hanging branches of tree had been
torn from the trolley which became
wild" In passing every cross wire
the heavy iron trolley bar was
driven with tremendous force against
the roof of the car, with report re-
sembling the discharge of Krupp gun
and SCATTERING the globes of the incan.
descent lights. After the car was stop
ped and the damage ascertained, the
conductor went back in search of his
rope, but failing to find it, returned
and made rope of himself by mount
ing to the top of the car and holding
the trolley bar in place until Mount
Vernon was reached when bell cord
was made to do the service of the
lost rope. The passengers on the car
were considerably excited and it wa;
some time before the nerves of many O.
them were Quoted.

DEATH OF AN ELDERLY LADY.-Mrs.
Harriet McNeal Smoot. widow of the
late Capt. Hezekiah B. Smoot and
mother of Mrs. Susan and David L.
and James r. Smoot, died at the resi-
dence of her daughter, corner of Duke
and ST. Asaph streets, at half past
eight o'clock this morning. The con-
dition of the deceased had been ex-
tremeiy critical for several days, she
being in semi conscious state, and her
advanced age lover 80 years. made it
apparent that her death was matter
of short time. She seemed to be suf-
fering from sort of congestion of the
system and was speeches. She was
surrounded by children, grand and
great grandchildren as her frail taber-
nacle was about to be dissolved, and,
as is the case with all having the con-
sciousness of well-spent life, her end
was peace. Mrs. Smoot was born in
Dover, DEL, March 4th. 1904, and she
was therefore in the ninety-6rst year
of her age. She was married August
3, 1926, and with her husband came to
Alexandria in early life. She had been
regarded as mother in Israel here
abouts for many years. She had been
useful and consistent membea of
church nearly all her life, and was
shining light in her day and generation
One who faithfully fulfilled the true
mission of existence. In the evening
of her life it was her delight to visit
the members of her church, especially
the least pretentious of them. She
was always heartily welcomed, and
her motherly suggestions and words of
spiritual comfort eased the burdens Of
numbers who so often need such
friend. She died as she had lived-a
firm believer in future and more sat
istactory existence-and now, after the
fluctuations of her long pilgrimage, the
tempestuous sea of life has been crossed
and she is enjoying the fruition of all
her lifelong hopes in better and eter
nal world.
