Saved by the Tenders.

This morning about 10 o'clock persons on
18th street near Rhode Island avenue saw
a small boy named Cellar get of a north
bound cable car and step on the track in
front Of a south-bound train. The moving
train was so near him that he could not
get out of the way, but the fender picked
him up, and when the car was stopped it
was found that the boy was urinjured.
His life was saved by the fender. for he
would undoubtedly have gone under the
wheels had the fender not been there, and
suffered the fate of many others who were
unfortunate enough to get caught in front
of the cars before the tenders were pro-
vided. The boy said his name was cellar,
and he gave his age as ten years. He was
able to walk home, as he was not even
scratched,

Capt Wise. commanding the monitor

the effect of the fire of heavy guns upon a

The battery and fittings were tested at

NO NEWS YET.
Dana Davenport's Disappearance is
Still a Mystery.

Still Mystery.
Up to a late hour this afternoon no word
whatever in reference to the mysterious
disappearance of Rev. Dana Davenport
had been received at the home Of his pa
rents in Anacostia.
Rev. W. G. Davenport, father Of the
young man, last night returned from Bal
timore, where he had spent two days, aid
ed by the detectives of that city and many
friends, in most vigorous search for the
missing man, but without avail, and Mr..
Davenport expects to return today to renew
the efforts to find his son.
Mrs. Davenport, mother OF Dana, Is at
her home very much Frustrated, but really
bearing up quite nobly. She has been WIS.,
tied by many ministers from Anacostia,
Washington and elsewhere, and also other
friends from those places, who have offered
her words Of consolation that have been
of great comfort to her.
A message received yesterday from a
ministerial friend of the family in Balti-
mere, who is rector of a large church there,
informed Mrs. Davenport that prayers
were being offered in his own and other
Episcopal churches in the diocese for
Dana's return while in one of the churches
in Washington, not only were prayers
offered, but the sacrament of the holy COM
munion was administered with the same
sacred purpose in view.
The following description of Dana has
been sent to the police departments of sew
eral cities, with the request that the news
papers of each city shall be asked to give
the fact of the disappearance as much pub
licity as possible: Dana A. Davenport, age
twenty-three years; height, 5 feet 3 inches;
rather thin build; shoulders slightly stoop-
ing; had scar on his chin, which was
caused by his being hit by well sweep
when he was small child; face freckled !;
brown eyes and auburn hair; may have
worn gold-rimmed spectacles; had on suit
of pepper and salt goods. mixed with a
small stripe.
Mr.. Davenport said that he fears Dana
fell into one of the deep disused chrome
pits In the neighborhood of his church
and was drowned, as these pits always con-
he will have them thoroughly examined, to
see If Dana's body can be found.

as should they be turned over to the au-

for Anspeker. who owns the cattle, as they
were being herded on the Indian reservation,

rustlers would be tried according to the
custom of their regulations, who would
