Arrested While Trying to Sell q

Two colored boys, fourteen and twelve

NOT THEIR MANS FAULT
Metropolitan Officials Blame Belt
Line Driver for the Collision.
Ladies Hurt in the Accident Declare
They Were Frightened by the
Drivers Reckless ness.

After an investigation of the collision
between the cars of the Metropolitan
and Belt line railway companies at the
corner of Ninth and streets northwest,
last Tuesday, the Metropolitan road Of
ficials have come to the conclusion that they
are in no way responsible for the accident
They place the blame ON the driver OF the
Belt line on account of his alleged reckless
driving.
Mr. Coleman, assistant secretary and
treasurer of the Metropolitan company,
stated to a Times reporter yesterday that
the passengers of both cars are willing to
testify that the cause which led up to the
accident was the reckless driving OF c. NJ.
Hammett, the driver of the Belt line car.
1t was learned yesterday that the car
struck by the Metropolitan train was the
same one that was run into at Garfield
monument, not half hour previous, 10y
cable car. .
The Belt Line officials claim thet the
running board of their car was knrcsed OFF
by the Metropolitan car at Ninth and p
streets. This was proved, Mr.. Coleman
said, TO be untrue, for the gripman on the
cable tEaln stated ludU luis "ds upue
by his car at Garfield monument. Mr.
Coleman said they had foul several
people who witnessed the collision at
Ninth and P streets northwest and who
said that the driver of the Belt Line car
was in fault
They stated that when the electric
car was nearing p street the notorman
rang the bell several times, and on seeing
the driver of the Belt Line car attempt TO
cross the track he called to him. IL Is
stated by one of the witnesses that the
driver not only failed to heed the motor
mans warning, but hesitatei IN the center
of the Ninth street track. and it was at that
time the two cars came together.
The Metropolitan car, it is claimed, was
not running at unusual speed, but W as going
not more than six miles an hour.
The two ladies who were on the Belt Line
car at the time and were injured in the acci-
dent, stated, so Mr.. Coleman claims, that
when they boarded the car they became
alarmed at the drivers rccklessness at rail
way crossings
No conclusion has yet been reached by
the Belt Line company fixing the responsi-
bility for the collision, but it will probably
be heard from to-day.

TO KILL DURRANT.
Fellow-Prisoners Had Laid Plans to

Fellow-Prisoners Had Laid Plans to
Murder Him.
San Francisco, Sept. 19.-The police
have discovered and frustrated plot to
assassinate Durrant The plot was con-
-octed by a well-known criminal while
awaiting sentence in the county JAIL.
He expressed his intention to his fel-
low prisoners of killing Durrant at the first
opportunity, and the matter coming to
the ears of the sheriff, an extra precaution
was taken not to allow Durrant to exercise
with the other prisoners and to drive him
TO and from the court either in a buggy
or outside of the prison van.
On search being made of the cell,
broken table knife whetted to keen edge
was found therein. The prisoner has since
been sentenced to twenty years in the peni
tentiary.
Before being taken to the pententiary he
admitted to the police that it was his in
tention to kill Durrant, but that he had had
no opportunity to use his knife The police
refuse TO divulge the name of the criminal.

MADE A HUMAN HARP.
How the King of n Madagascar Tribe
Arranged His Prisoners

How the King of n Madagascar Tribe
Arranged His Prisoners.
The most cheerful liar in the world
lives in Madagascar. The latest story that
comes from there tells about Pip, the king
of the Lotolies. one of the local tribes
which is not busy fighting the French,
says an exchange.
THIS king, the story goes, devised some
time ago human harp. He had been
visiting the place OF punishment in his
village and had witnessed the bastinadoing
OF his captives he was struck by the tonal
difference of their groans. At once he
commissioned the royal carpenter to con-
struct series of stocks in which he
placed eight capuves, whose howls OF
pain when the soles of their feet were
struck by the rod were so carefully ar
ranged that they made a perfect octave.
This seemed such a success that he had
a second frame constructed for the feet
Of eight more wretches whose average
groans ranged a full octave higher.
The harp was now complete. On it
he proposed to play melodies and started
in to practice the national air.
His project was TO regulate the length
of the note by the violence OF the blow.
At first the scheme did not succeed at all,
for the reason that the captives, hitherto
used to hard hits alone, howled loudly
each time and with little difference in
force. At last he arranged it, however, so
that the groans became.proportioned to the
blows.
But the instrument never got quite in
tune Incessant was the cry of some OF
the animated notes, others would not sound
at all at the right time. The heather
king had to give it up. The discord was
too painful for his musical ear. for al
though he tried fresh sets of prisoners
the human notes would never work just
right.

EirminS9spiaer CRIBS.


The blue crab is a natural born fighter.
The probability is that he would a little
rather fight than not. The spider crab is not
so much of fighter asthat; still the spider
will put his claws'up. There are eight or
ten big spider crabs in one of the tanks at
the New Y ork Aquarium, the biggest of them
four inches in length of body and measuring
eight or ten inches in spread of legs. Two
of these spiders of about equal size met in
the tank the other day and stood up on
their hind legs and faced each other like
two boys meeting in the street Then they
threw their upper legs around each other
and grappled and began plugging away at
each other with their pincer claws. A mo-
later one pushed the other over on his back
and fell on him. He hit him once after he
was down. Then they went their ways

RuiIet-Proof Vests.

An excellent buliet-proof shield can, it
seems, be manipulated by wearing silk
floss underneath the uniform. A CORES
poDdent writing from Yokohama says that
the japanese, to keep out the cold, wore
guam tity of this material under their
Clothes with the result that in many
cases it acted as q bullet proof vest. Many
must have remarked and wondered why
it was that, although the fights in Man
churia were said to have been so severe,
the japanese losses were inva riably very
few, and those of the Chinese extremely
heavy. Much OF the disparity IN the
losses - the two combatants was due to
bad craftsmanship on the part of the
Chinese, but great part of the immunity
of the Japanese from the bullets OF their
antagonists was due to their wearing floss
silk.
