DASHED INTO THE BUMPER.

lexington Trolley Car Wrecked and
Three Passengers Injured.
One Of the lexington trolley cars rushed
at fun speed last night about 10 O'Clock
into the bumper at Brookland with a
crash and blaze of electric light that were
heard and seen for long distance. The
front part of the car was demolished,
its structure as far back as the fourth
seat having been shivered into sp!inters,
and the strong iron framework torn and
twisted beyond recognition.
The injured are:
c. AUERBACH, of No. 1903 Sixth
street northwest, shocked and painfully
bruised.
MRS. C. AUERBACH, bruised and
sprained.
Unknown .Brookland lady, not seriously
hurt.
From the best accounts obtainable II ap-
pears that the car was being propelled at q
moderate rate of speed up the hill, IN the
Brookland side of which is the bumper, q
strongly built obstruction OF heavy timbers,
at the terminus OF the road. Passing the
crest OF the hill the car dropped its fender.
This was replaced and MotOrman Keitch
carefully adjusted the brake. Starting
down hill Mr.. Keitcb, as usual, began Ia
tighten the brake. but the speed nevertheless
increased. and soon the car became un-
manageable. Itpiunged down the steep In
cline at tremendous rate of speed.
Motorman Keitch stuck Ia the brake to
within a few feet of the bumper, and then
jumped for his life.
Conductor Chamberlain also jumped and
just before then Mr. Dorsey jumped None
of those who remained were seriously
hurt, but they were terribly shocked, and
suffered painful injuries by being thrown
against the seats in front of them. The
wrecked car was dragged back to the
power house The ground around the
bumper was s,rewn with splintered wood:
The injured passengers are resting easily
today, but no serious results are anti
.ipated in any of the cases.

NAY NOT KEEP ONE POLE
lexington Road Desires 1t For Pur-
poses Of Switching.
They Also Ask the Use OF the New
York Avenue Switch, But Get
No Satisfaction.

Messrs. Newbold and Ridout, president
and secretary respectively of the Ecking
ton Soldiers' Home Railway Company.
appeared before the Commissioners to-day
to ask that they be permitted to retain the
use of the itch on New York avenue. near
Florida avenue. until such time, within
three weeks, as they can make other ar
rangements.
To utilize this switch, they claim, will
be greatly to the accommodation OF the
public, as well as the company, as other
wise passengers would be Obliged to walk
about q square to transfer from the horse
cars to the electric cars.
If they are permitted to retain the
switch, passengers may step from one car
to the other.
The Commissioners stated that they had
no authority to permit the switch to be
used for electric propulsion, but there was
no formal action taken, and the request of
the company will be submitted In writing.
1t will require that one trolley pole
shall be left standing within the city limits
in order that the cars may be switched
by electricity. The board Is therefore
without power to grant the privilege,
even for the short period noted
The evening times., 1895-09-18

The order for the transfer of the Stevens
revoked, bat II has been modified to the ex-
tent Of placing but one-third of the pupils in
that building and leaving the remainder
10 occupy the wings of the old structure.
Instead, therefore, of having more than
900 scholars quartered there for a part of
the term, there will be probably 800 to
occupy the building for the whole year.
MAY THE COURTS.
This decision was announced to-day at a
hearing given by the representatives of.the
West End League. An application for an
injunction may follow.
After listening to "a statement made
by the delegation Col. Truesdeil stated that
the Miner building had been reinspected
by the health officer. the inspector of
plumbing. and the inspector Of buildings,
and it has been thus ascertained that it
can be utilized with but a asiightexpenditure.
The central part of the Stevens building,
he said, cannot be occupied, but the wings
will accommodate PORTION of the pupils,
and the remainder would be located in the
Miner building.
Tne Comm lSSiODef SAID one serious OD-
lection against the tranfer had been re-
moved by this decision, as, instead of
quarteriug the whole school there. but a
small proportion would be transferred.
Mr.. Evans asked if by accepting the Miner
building and agreeing to recommend an
estimate for compensation would not, in
fact, be an evasion of the law, since there
is no appropriation for the purpose and the
Commissioners are not empo owered to incur
an obligation in advance.
MR.. ESDELL'sDEFENsE.
at is a moral Obligation" returned Col.
Truesdell, "to provide the children with
school facilities. There is 10 other way
