was crossed. The train in the lead was a
long one, and the engine was putting and
blowing to make the heavy grade this side
of the river, when the extra freight was
given a safety signal
In order to make this grade the engineer
on the extra put on little more speed, but
when he had reached a point near 49,
street he noticed part of the other train
backing. coupling had become unfast-
ened, and the several cars were speeding
down the grade at a lively rate of speed.
An effort was made by the engineer to re-
verse his engine and get his train out of
the way in time to avoid collision, Tut
the runaway cars were coming too fast for
him. and he had to jump from the engine
to save his life. His fireman also jumped.
Charles Neitzy, the brakeman on the ca
bose made an effort to apply the brakes,
but, finding his efforts were OF no avail and
that collision seeTed unavoidable, he got
in the car to save himself from being
crushed by the engine. A crippled man,
who was In the ca5oose, managed to make
his way to the next car, and escaped in
jury. The crash came just after the engf-
neer and fireman left their engine. They
escaped none too soon, for the engine was
thrown from the track, and the escaping
steam would probably have scalGed them
had they remained but few seconds
longer. When the collision occurred the
caboose was thrown i'm the air. and when
it landed on the ground 1t was completely
demolished.
Brakeman NeitZy was caught between
two pieces of timber and it was with con-
siderable difficulty that the other trainmen
rescued him in time to save his life. Police
men FuSitt and Curry were there to assist
the railroad men, and they had the injured
brakeman taken TO the Emergency Hospi-
tal He was severely injured, and the doc
tors feared he would not recover, but this
morning his condition was much improved.

Dupont Circle shrubbery.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
have never experienced deeper sense of
indignation, nor a keener feeling of loss and
injury, than on coming back TO the city and
finding Dupont Circle In its present mutt
lated condition. 1t had come TO be a place
of rare beauty, order the cultivated taste
and fostering care of those who have had
charge of it, and every one who lived in its
neighborhood took pride and satisfaction
in ii, not only as a source of pleasure and
refreshment, but as something exceptional
and wholly different from the common
place OF the other parks of the city The
combination of trees, dense shade and the
large variety of Towering shrubs permitted
to develop naturally gave a result that was
held IL. Then comes a military gentleman,
who. apparently on the theory that there
was an enemy masked somewhere behind
II VINO must be uncovered, proceeds to
hack and ruin IL I'm the most savage fash
ion. Most Of the shrubs have been up-
rooted and cast out and the few left have
been chopped and slashed into military reg
ularity, in utter disregard of their natural
forms. The glory of the place has de-
parted, and all this ruthless, senseless
havoc mas been worked on the plea that
evil-ininded persons resorted to the place
1t may be so, but 1 have passed through IL
10! these many years, at all hours of he
day and night. and have never seen any
thing improper there; We have watchmcn
and police for protection against such
things.
Let the dwellers near other circles and
squares look to IL. lest il there be any par
ticularly charming little hooks or rare and
exquisite shrubs in them, they too, be de-
stroyed. DUPONT CIRCLE.

Of The Evening Star:

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
Thursday evening about O'clock a 18th
street car going north and a G street car
going west colIided. The cable car had
been at a standstill for the accommodation
of passengers, and was only just starting
up. Had it been going at full speed, the
scene would have been d terrible one. As
it was, the accident was sufficient to cause
serious injury to a delicate person by
fright and jar.
L beg permission to make an earnest plea
through your columns for the protection
of life and limb of our citizens.
Should the present haphaZard, hit-or-
miss style of crossing tracks be allowed
Should it continue to be the case that the
lives and safety of the people, while trav-
cling on street cars, shall depend on the
degree Of ineXperience or Indifference OF
stupidity of a driver or motorman? Or
should the proper authorities not only
make the Strictest regulation in the matter,
but insist on their strictest enforcement, so
that such an occurrence as that of Thurs
day evening would be an impossibility?

meeting last Wednesday at its new quar-
tiers in the Sanders and Stayman establish
ment on street. The report of the presi-
dent, DR.. d. H. Riggs, showed a saticfac-
tory state of affairs, but he urged continued
effort on the high plane adopted. The re-
ports Of the other officers showed a like
condition in their respective departments,
that of the treasurer, particularly, as a
snug balance was reported.
A new board of governors was elected for
the ensuing year, composed Of Mr.. George

now, and yearlings are being killed
wholesale. He visited the Iba oil
spring for sample of the oil to be
sent to London and Paris. On his

Cattle in Texas.

Chicago Drovers Jour nal: ]. L.
Harris, special agent for the Uuion
Stock Yards and Transit Co., has
just returned from trip to Texas.
He says the weather has been un-
usually mild, and cattle are looking
well. About 45 per cent of the fed
cattle have been marketed, and the
balance will come within the next
sixty days. Both Texas and Indian
Territory have been pretty well
canvassed for feeding cattle, and
the supply is about exhausted.
Kansas men within the past few
months have bought over 200, 900
head of feeders, including a good
mary calves. Prices ranged from
$20@30 for steers, the bulk selling
at SCOOPS. Montana buyers have
been securing the state, but were
not able to get many cattle at a
price reasonable enough to make it
an object to invest. No more cattle
will be put on this season, for the
good and sufficient reasons that the
cattle are hard to get and feed is
very dee'.
