THEY DON'T FILL THE BILL.

The ineffectiveness of tie tenders in use
on the cable and electric cars in this city
has been again fully and flagrantiy demon
strated. The latest victim OF the fender
was an old man, befuddled by drink, who
was struck by the contrivance as he was
in the center of the track, hurled high into
the air and not caught in the net but was
thrown on the track, face downward, after
which he was rolled over and over, the
fender craw ling up on him all The while.
If tenders do not prevent the very ac-
cidents in which they seem TO play par
ticularly active and offensive part, they
might as " ell be dispensed with altogether,
for they are certainly not ornamental. But
the law calls for an apparatus which Will
in measure keep people from serious in
jury, instead of inflicting it upon them.
In the latest instance the fender was not
pickup but a throw down. They have
been in use just long enough to make it
clear that something far more effective
is imperatively called for to supplant them
1t is hardly TO be expected, judging from
experience, that the street railway COM
panies viii OF their own volition make
the required change and the Commissioners
will have 10 bring their authority to bear
upon the question. There must be effective
protection against the rushing electric or
cable car.

CONDUCTOR BAR BROKEN
Caused interruption Of Travel on
Ninth Street Line for Hours.
Columbia Roads Grip Had Pulled Up
Gable So Far That Electric Cars
PlOw Caught Under 1t.

A disarrangcment of the conductor bar
of the Ninth street underground trolley
line, near New York avenue, caused a
point Tor many hours yesterday, and in
finite disarrangement and inconvenience to
the travelling public. As the accident oc-
CURED just about the time when the
thousands of people are required to be
1t their offices, it touched the business
pulse sensibly and also the pocket nerve
OF many who were obliged 10 seek some
other way of getting GOWN TO their Of
fices or stores.
To add To their Inconvenience people who
wished to board the Ninth street line at
this point were obliged to wait out in the
rain, not knowing the extent and serious
ness of the disarrangement The ircon-
yenience was greatest To those who are
obliged TO hurry TO early work, the break
occurring shortly after Z Il. III.
The complaint was naturally greatest
from those people, who, having only one
6-cent fare, which they had blown in for
the trip, were obliged to do the rest of
their journey on foot.
There was a picturesque feature TO the
affair, which the aggrieyed and disap-
pointed passengers were not in the humor
10 enjoy. When the rod which receives the
break there was flash which lighted
up the whole neighborhood. II was not
a dangerous discharge.
II has been suggested that water In
the conduit was partly tue cause OF the
accident, but Mr.. Phillips says that there
is no ground for this statement, as the
conduits are in perfect order and that no
delays need be anticipated from melting
slcet or snow this winter. Mr.. Phillips eX-

BETTER LATE THAN NEVER.

Whether it was the Atlanta Exposition
,yr the stirring-up by The Times, or the
good work done so far by Judge Chichester
and Special Commonwealth Attorney Mar
bury, or all three things put together, or
anything else altogether different, some
thing has caused a change to come over the
spirit of Gov. 0'FeTall's dreams. He has
made a sign that he yet remembers such a
county as Alexandria in the State Of Viz
ginia, and that it has been the stamping
ground of men who violate the law and treat
With contempt and indgnity the statutes
and ordinances of the State. 1t is not
Impossible even that he may recOllect, in
q hazy sort of way, having given certain
promises to a committee of the Washington
Board VI Trade.
However any or all OF these things may
be, the summoninG of Judge Chichester and
Mr.. Marbury to Richmond for conference
with the Governor betokens an awakening
OF the executive conscience, activity, en-
ergy, or whatever else il may be, that is
extremely gratifying to The Times, which
for a long time unsuccessfully endeavored
to arouse these dormant agencies, and no
less to the orderloving people Of Alexan-
dria County, who have long and patiently
awaited their Governors recognition of the
conditions whereby they were harassed.
Ii would be ungraciuus were not The Times
to acknowledge this change OF heart in
Gov. O'Fcrrall, and upon it tender him its
CONGRATULATIONS. While the lamD holds out
to burn-but let that pass.
The joyful fact remains, that, Judging
from appearances, both Gov. o'FerraIl and
Attorney General Scott have found time
to pay some attention TO the fragrant law
lessneSs in Alexandria County, and that
presumably they will lend what aid and
assistance they may to the judicial off
GERS Of the county in bringing the evil
doers to account. 1t has taken quite a
long while to bring about this cooperation,
but-better late than never.

KNOCKED OUT BY THE LAW.

The unyielding flrmness of Governor
Clarke, of Arkansas, forms pleasant COM
panion picture to Governor Culberson's
determination that the prize fighter must
go, and the cordial Endorsement which their
course has received, not only from nearly
all the people of their respective States,
but from the people and press of the whole
country, furnishes gratifying proof that
public opinion on this subject has undergone
i decided change for the better. The
events of the past few weeks may be
regarded as notice TO the pug fraternity
that it is no longer a popular attraction,
and the sooner it hices itself in complete
obScurity, the better il viii be for every
body.
After the experience in Texas and Ar
kansas, states in which the sporting ele-
ment were confident they would have
full license TO do all the fighting they
wanted, in spite of statutes to the con-
trary, and where they met with the sternest
possible resistance on the part of the
authorities, no club Will be likely TO offer
large purses, nor will any manager be
apt to invest his dollars in venture which
holds out such doubtful returns.
Prize fighting, as a great public attrac-
ton, will hcnceforth be unknown in the
Cnited States, for no State will care to
take upon itself the odium of permitting
such an exhibition to take place within
its borders. Some Mexican border States
may offer last refuge and they are well
come to the .pugs.
Since the big sluggers have been knocked
out by the law, so TO speak, there should
he no difficulty in disposing of the small
fry. These so-called matches are prize
fights, pure and simple, and euphemism
should avail them nothing.

EARTHoU.kE WEEK

Those scientists who devote themselves
to a study of seismic phenomena are
finding rich material in the bending,
cracking, and trembling OF the carth's
crust which has made this a red letter
week in such absorbing history.
The Immense area throughout which the
first shocks occurred, their echo twenty
four hours later in Rome, again the answer
ing shocks last evening on the Pacific
coast. the most conspicuous qualing be-
ing at Victoria, logically show an inti-
mate relation between one demonstration
and another.
The more the disturbance in the United
States is studied the more ii seems to
point to electrical sources which fired
the mysterious gases that peuneate the
honeycombed crust of the globe, leading
to almost simultaneous explosions over
millions of square miles of territory.
When it is further considered that ex-
traordinary electrical disturbances on the
earth are almost invariably preceded by
stupendous phenomena of a similar char
acter upon the sun, the sphere of specu-
lation is widencd to a degree that must
appall The boldest Investigator, and it is
not impossible that the sun also may be
influenced by magnetic activity in some
yaster and unknown center.
1t is not impossible that earthquakes
may be traceable to influences emanating
from that heart OF all creation whose
whereabouts is the sport of fancy and
the darling theme of the philosophical poet.

SOMETHING THAT is NEEDED.

!
Washington has long needed a fire boat
and an ice boat and now that Harborniaster
Sutton has asked for it and the Commits
sioners have endorsed his request by put
| ting an item of $4,000 for it in their
estimates Congress should not hesitate
to make the appropriation. 1t is needed
in order that the harbormaster's depart
ment may be made more comprehensive.
The Joe Blackburn. the present police
boat, can only do Il limited amount of serv-
ice and this is also circums cribed as to its
scope. 1t can be made much more efficient.
however, if the other boat is furnished.
This latter would have important duties
to perform, because Capt Sutton not only
proposes to use it as fire and ice boat, but
also as wrecking vessel. In all three
departments of its usefulness 1t would be
great money saver.
Very frequently fires have occurred on
the river front at which the work OF the
fire department was ineffective, because
OF the difficulty OF reaching the flames.
Had there been such fire boat as they have
i'll all other large cities valuable property
could have been saved. In case of fire
on n vessel in the harbor the services OF
such a boat would more than compensate
for its maintenance.
Its usefulness as an ice boat would be
equally pronounced. The difficulty ex-
perienced last winter in keeping the chan
mel clear of ice and the expense involved
in getting tugs from Baltimore to do the
work make u case in point. Many u time
in past years have merchants been greatly
inconvenienced because vessels with mer-
chandise for them could not get up to the
wharves on account of the river being
frozen solid. With a good, strong ice boat
such a contingency could not arise.
As n wrecking boat also use could be
