Horses of This System Are Also
,i"~ a5hsIioeDa dtyi Treated.
The Belt Line, owned and operated by
the same company as the lexington and
Soldiers Home Railway, has equally as
bad stock as the latter line, The horses are
bony, scrawney, and look to beill-fed.
A ride over the various systems shows
several lame horses. One was particularly
noticeable in car 10. %, which runs from
Seventh and P streets to Eleventh and E
streets northwest.
The general comment on these animals is
that they are completely overworked, with
not sufficient to eat.
A little better care seems to be taken
with them at the stable at Eleventh and q
streets. but thereisso little differencethat it
IL barcly noticeable.
1t is true that they are not compelled to
stand in the sun, as over on the lexington

YOUNG GIRL .D|sAPPEAREs
Daisy Burrell Has Been Miss
ing Since Wednesday.
POLICE CANNOT FIND HER
She Game to Washington From Del
Ray on an Errand and Since Then
No Trace of Her Can BE Found.
. Parents Fear That Harm Has Be-
fallen Her.

Daisy Burrell the fifteen yea rod daugh-
ter OF William Burrell, OF Del Ray, Va,
has been missing for four days, and the
police OF this city have been asked to look
for her. Daisy disappeared last Wednes-
day, and since that time her father and
John II. Cornell, with whom the girl
lived, have been engaged in searching for
her.
On the day mentioned, Daisy came to
this city to buy a dress. Before she left
home Mr.. Cornell gave her a sum Of
money with which to make her pur-
chases, telling her to be sure to return on
the O'Clock train. Mr.. Cornell is the
superintendent OF the st. Asaph track.
1t was curly in the day when the girl
left home and there was ample time for
her to complete her errands and return on
the afternoon train. When the train ar
rived aud Daisy did not put in an appear
ance Mr.. Cornell gave her absence little
thought, as he supposed she had missed the
train and would return from town at .
later hour.
DAISY DID NOT RETURN.
The night passed, however, and when
morning came and the girl did not return
Mr.. Cornell became alarmed, for besides
his affection for her he felt in measure
iOE ueI
Her father, who was at one time con-
nected with the race track and racing
affairs, was at once notified, and fastened
to Washington. A systematic search of the
police stations and hospitals was made, but
no trace of the girl was discovered. Last
night Mr.. Cornell a gain visited the city and
made inquiry Of the. police, but was un
successful In finding any trace OF his ward.
Miss Burrel is described as. being tall
for her age with wavy dark brown hair
and brown eyes. She was remarkably fine
looking and old in her manners. When She
left home she wore a white dress, white
satin belt, and white hat trimmed with
lace and flowers.
/ Mr.. Cornell has offered. a reward OF
$25 for any information which will lead
to her recovery, either dead OF alive. He
has made every effort toe trace her and
has spent O considerable sum OF money in
the search.
HER HOME LIFE HAPPY.
The girl's3 home life vas a happy one,
and during her stay at the Cornell house
she had become much attached to Miss
Cornell. The latter is noW i'll in bed and
Daisy was constantly by Sher side before
she left home. Mr.. Cornell scouts the
idea that, she. has run AWAY, as she was
at perfect liberty to leave fer horne at any
time and had never expressed apy, desire
to do so. The girl knew But few men, az

STRUCK BY A BIG WAVE.
Small Panic on Board the Steamship
Etrurta at Sea.


Etrurta at Sea.
New York, Aug. 1.-The passengers OF
the Cunard Line steamship Etruria, which
vessel arrived here today, had rude
awakening last Tuesday morning and
were thrown into u state bordering on
panic.
1t was the work of huge wave, which
had mounted the Etruria's port bow dur
ing a gale and had smashed her forward
iron works, delugipg the fore hold, un-
shipped the vessels bell, wrecked the scssen
stanchions, rushed through the port COM
panionways, and invaded the rooms OF
the passengers.
Those who were on deck at the time
say that when the wave struck the vessel
the latter was shaken from stem to stern.
Her Roadway was perceptibly retarded.
Many OF the passengers were thrown from
their berths by the impact.
Luggage and beds were drenched. Scores
Of frightened passengers rushed from their
cabins some calling for friends and Others
for the ships officers. The officers went
among the frightened passengers and as
sured them OF their safety, and soon re-
stored order After the wave boarded
the vessel she was eased off and laid to
for two hours and half. The storm by
that time subsidized, and temporary repairs
had been effected. No one aboard was
injured.

have not been owned by the company six

The new complement OF workers are
stabbed at the Belt Line stables at Eleventh
and U streets, and are brought in relays
to the terminus of North Capitol street,
where a shed, erected once for the hous-
ing of car, affords slight shelter for
them from the sun. In fact, the horses
are not put under the structure, bat stand

change is made every two hours, the time
required 'fof Three round trips, and not
five minutes is given for rest at The end
OF either run. The service requires the car
TO make the stop, change horses from the
front to the rear, and start off again.
Meanwhile the changed horses wait out
side the wooden frame until the relay
has been disposed OF and are then driven
to the stable.
A great deal OF comment has been made
about these horses, and some people have
gone SO far us TO suggest thatHi in addition

ATTEMPT TO ROB A SAFE.


Accidental Discharge of Revolver
Frightened Desperadoes' Away.
Colorado Springs, Col, Aug. 1.-What
looked to be an attempt TO rob the safe OF
the wells-Fargo Express office in this city
was made about $40 O'Clock last night.
The accidental discharge OF a large re-
volver evidently frightened the would be
robbers away. The front and side door of
the express office were found open, and
the lights were out when the police Jar
rived on the scene few moments after the
shot was heard.
Local officers of the Wells Fargo Com
papy refuse to talk, beyond denying that
Snything is missing. 1t is understood that
large sums Of money are in transit be-
tween this city and Cripple Greek, and this
may have been what the robbers were
after. - 20 80

agreeable to YOU (him). Col. Lamb says
he is for home rule, and he will never con-

While Mcrrill's head was-exposed he

HENLEY-O ON THAMES, June 25-
The weather was cloudy this morning
and the wind was up the course. The
Trinity Hall crew was first out, row.
ing down behind the island, and then
came back over the three quarters The
time for the first half was 1886 and the
stroke for the first minute was SO, after
which 1t was dropped to 35. The Yale
men came out at II o'clock and went to
Temple Island and back in short stretch
es. Later they were coached on quick
starts. The pair-oar work was done in
the early part of the day. The stroke
has been raised to 30 The men are feel
ing in perfect condition
The latest amusement of the Ameri-
cans is reach fishing close to the ground
The new oars are expected to arrive
from Putney on Saturday. Captain
Treadway has forbidden the Yale men to
play Tennis until after the race for fear
of strains.
Bob" Cook seemed satisfied with this
mornings work. New College was out
during the morning but did not go over
the course, the men contenting them
selves with short stretches at 81 stroke.
The Leander crew rowed to Hambleton
Lock in one stretch at twenty nine
stroke and back to their boat house in
stretches.
Captain Treadway and the other men,
bers of the Yale crew think that the
Leanders are the strongest crew on the
river. The men get terrific catch on
the water and let their boat run we'll
between strokes. The Trinity first
rowed over half the course this morning,
but the crew is not considered formid-
able enough to watch closely There
were some heavy showers during the
afternoon, but the weather cleared by
$50 O'clock at which hour the Yale crew
pulled around the island in short
stretches and then went over the first
half Of the course in 3:32 2-5 During
the first half minute the stroke was 38,
then it was dropped to 81 for the bal
ance of the distance. The time was
poor for the latter half Of the course.
The men did not seem to get hard
catch water, although all were we'll and
in good condition. Bob Cook seemed
much displeased.
New College was out directly after
the Americans and did the half course
in 1924 with a SO stroke, then pulled 35
and spurted to 81, rowing in good form,
and the boat running well between
strokes. The Leander crew also went
around the island and back, taking over
two minutes to the barrier with 81
stroke.
Trinity Hall rowed stort stretches
and First Trinity did the course in
7:42 3-5
The Yale men, who sailed from New
York on June 17th, called at the Ameri-
can headquarters today. The boys were
delighted at the fact that the Yale boat
has been taken from the regatta boat
house to the tent boat house, where the
other crews are quartered.
Entries for the regatta closed tonight
and will be posted tomorrow. The crews
will draw for places July t4h.
The Yale crew this afternoon received
a cable message from class II of Har-
ward upon the occasion of the latter's
twenty-fifth anniversary, conveying
wishes for the success of the New Haven
men.
