alone by the medical fraternity, but the
public as well.
A large force of men has begun to remove
the ice from TattersalTs. Seventy men and
ten teams are now at work. The ice is

A small army of artisans Is at work in

CoLLIDED WITH A BUGGY.
Miss Fannie Woog Seriously Injured
While Riding Her Bicycle.

Miss Fannie Woog, aged sixteen, the
daughter of Mr. Z. S. Woog, No 400 T
street northwest, met with a serious
accident while bicycling shortly before 8
O'Clock yesterday afternoon directly in
front of the south entrance OF the Pension
office. AT first it was thought her in
juries would result fatally.
Miss Woog had been out riding with
some girl companions and was returning
northward through tie north side of
Judiciary square when she met buggy
It was said that the buggy was going at
an unusual rate OF speed and that the
driver was careless A white man and
ColoTed boy were said TO be the occu-
pants OF the vehicle. The buggy crashed
into the wheel. Miss Woog was hurled
several feet across the gravel and her
bicycle was almost demolished in the acci,
dent. The young lady was unconscious
when she was picked up. She was carried
into the Pension office, and while
call was sent for the Sixth precinct am
bulance Dr. WoOdman did all i'll lis power
for the relief of the girl.
When the ambulance arrived Miss Woog
was sent to the Emergency Hospital, and
nrs Lawrence, Turner and Hooe proceeded
with an examination. She had tainted from
the effects of the accident, and il was al
most an hour before she regained conscious
ness. Everything possible was done for her
relief, and she was last night on a fair
way to recovery. Her parents were mott
fled and arrived at the hospital short
time later.
While there were number of witnesses

who was responsible for it.
j. w Powell, an employe in the Govern
ment Printing Office, and who lives at
No 319 E street northeast, was driving
through the park at the time and saw the
accident The cofliding buggy started to
move away as soon as the collision hap
pened. Mr. Powell told the policeman, and
he stopped the horse and demanded the
names of the occupants. He said that the
white man told him his name was Mr.. Har-
per, and that he was clerk in the police
court. Other witnesses of the collision
were A L. Conwcll, George C. Scott and Dr.
Woodman, of the Pension Office, and others
The witnesses differ in their accounts as to
whether the horse was carelessly driven.
There were no police on the scene G-
rectly at the time OF the accident. and
no one was found last evening to rosi-
lively id entity the driver of the rig as Mr..
Harper There are two gentlemen of that
name in the police court, and both are at
present on leave because of the death of
their father. The description given to the
police by Mr.. Powell followed that of Mr..
Lum Harper.
When a reporter called at his home yes
fprdav aftprpoon he was out Voc
learned, however, that he had gone to
Georgetown about 3 O'Clock and that he
had gone in street car. He was accom-
panied by his brother.
1t is not improbable that the driver OF
the buggy sought to assume the name of
Mr. Harper inorder to escape identification.

Site Proposed.

a conference was held yesterday after
noon between the Commissioners, School
Trustee job Barnard, Hon. F. G. Newlands,
and Mr.. E. ]. Steuwagen, over the PROPOSE
tionto authorizethe sale ofthe Force School
Building and the transfer OF the school to
another site. The hearing was a private
ore.
THERE'S a resolution now before Congress
with a provision in it for effecting the
change, ,uponwhichtheC Commissioners made
an adverse report. Accompanying the re-
port was a statement from Mr.. Barnard, in
which he held that the disposal OF the
property would be prejudicial TO the Dis
trict, for the reason that the building is
worth more for school purposes than it
would be for any other business, aud that
its value cannot be realized at either public
OF private sale.
The whole subject was discussed at
the conference yesterday afternoon and
several propositions were advanced. There
was nothing agreed upon, the Commits
sioners merely hearing the other gentle
men upon the points raised; bat it is I'M

1t is not believed that the bill Will pass

school trustees.

So it happened that Capt Burton was
here within the American lines, and had it
not been for his wretched vanityin wishing
to appear in good clothes before the lady

to tell OF never might have happened TO him;
he had ridden through Westchester safely

But Briggs, the man, carried in his sad
dle-bags the necessities for making a gen

stopped at the Congress, a place whict;
had kept open through all the troubles
And now our captain had heard through

So it will stand to reason won't it,
that he's here just as Andre was, don't
it?"
"Andre?'
The major was Burton's good friend.
He did not know that Andre was in that
vicinity; for not knowing a word of the
purchase of Gen. Arnold, he was not
aware that a great treason had been dis
covered, and that Major Andre had been
taken disguised as spy within the
American lines, with most seriously COM
promising papers on his person.
"Just the case Of another spy, that s

the name of Detchard.
At the moment a door slammed, and
the fat. red-faced landlord entered. He
made the seventh in the room, and his
first words made it plain that he, too,
was in the plot. For Detchard was
sa ying:
There's two of 'em, and We're seven"

he's a Britisher, it's only an act OF war

There's precious little circulatin' as tbs;
nd he'll have gold-sovereigns."
Yes, you bet he will. We're poor men.
We owe it to ourselves, went on Detchard.
But at this luncture the landlord said, in
a penetrating whisper:
'.Shet up. we fools! He's upstairs, and
might hear
Capt. Burton rose from his peekhole and
whistled.
Briggs still stood immovable, the shaw.
ing mug in one hand. But his master looked
at Briggs without seeing him. He was think
ing of what he had heard. John Andre had
