A PECULIAR BOY DISAPPEARS.
His Parents Fear That He May Have
Perished.

Life in tent along the lonely banks OF
the historic Potomac, in the vicinity OF
the Chain Bridge, with constant dread
of COLLINS and elves, caused nineteen year
old Herbert Smith to become violent and
he is now missing.
The lad is the son OF William B. Smith,
an itinerant maker and seller of trinkets,
hailing from Millville. n. ]. Smith is the
father of three other sons, one two years
old, another five, and the eldest twenty
two. He reached Washington with them.
his wife and the missing boy not long
ago They proceeded out the Conduit Road
and pitched a small camp on the Virginia
side OF the Chain Bridge and there began
the manufacture of toys and trinkets TO be
disposed of during the holiday season.
The boy Herbert began to act strangely
about q week ago and was thought 10 be
verging upon insanity. He became yio-
lent on Christmas day and the father went
to police headquarters in Georgetown and
asked that the lad be taken in hand. The
police took charge of Thomas and started
off with him, intending to lodge him in the
Seventh Precinct station. Herbert thought
that some one was determined TO do him
harm, that goblins were on his trail. and,
though he accompanied the police, it was
with apparent reluctance.
They had traversed only short distance
when the boy somewhat Unexpectedly tore
himself loose from the policeman who was
holding him and, muttering ''go devils, "
sped down the highway like a wounded
deer He was soon out of sight and has
neither been seen nor heard OF since. The
mother is distracted at the absence O.. the
boy and the father is much disturbed. They
fear that he may have perished in the
cold.

A CHILD BURNS TO DEATH.
Left Locked i'm the House, She Plays
W.T.: Fire.

Four-year-o Mary Branson, colored,
was burned to death at her home, No. 1928
First Street southwest, yesterday morning.
Lena Branson, the mother of the child,
left home about 8 o'clock in the morning,
and not desiring to take the little girl
with her, locked her in the house. When
she returned an hour later, accompanied
by Sylvia Cole, friend, she found the
child lying on n lounge and enveloped in
flames. but with life already extinct.
1t is thought that the child was playing
with fire during the absence of her
parents; that her clothing became ignited
and she ran about the house crying and
endeavoring to get out in order to secure
help. The windows were tightly fastened
and the doors locked. Nothing remained
for the child but to perish in the flames.
The mother returned too late to be of as
sistance. Had she been few minutes
later the whole house would have been on
fire. The lounge was burning when she
discovered the child. The dead body of
the child was taken to the morgue in the
Fourth precinct patrol wagon and the COR

Dispute of thef Metropolitan a
Brightwood Railway Companies

Dispute OF thei Metropolitan and
Brightwood Railway Companies.
The Metropolitan Railroad and Bright
wood Railway Companies are still at va l.
ance as to the conditions under which they
can operate with reciprocal trackage facil-
tiles satisfactory to both.
When the matter came up in the Su-
preme Court of the District in November.
upon hearing the petition Of the Bright
wood Company and the answer of the Me-
tropolitan Railroad, the court deemed both
the petition and the answer insufficient
and ordered the petitioning company to
filed new or amended bill particularly
setting forth its wants. the court at the
same time ordered that the Metropolitan
Company should make specific answer.
The Metropolitan company declares that
the execution or attempted execution of
the arrangements suggested, but not def
nitely and plainly proposed. by the Bright
wood company would interfere with, I'M
pair and destroy the Metropolitan Compa-
ny's electrical system and iniure its SER
vice, and would involve it in financial en-
barrassment and prevent the payment Of
Its just debts and obligations. The damage
that would accrue to the Metropolitan Com
pany's 9th street line, it is stated, would
not be less than 100000.
The Metropolitan Company also says
that the only scheme which it can suggest
and the only offer or proposition which it
can make or legally be required to make,
in respect Of the use of its tracks by the
Brightwood company. is to again offer and
propose to do what 1t is required to do by
the act of June IL, 1896, and that is to draw
over its tracks such reasonable number OF
the Brightwood companys trail cars as
may be required for the accommodation Of
through passengers. as will not be to the
undue detriment of the Metropolitan Conf
pany.
The Metropolitan Company also lays
much stress upon the fact that the Bright
wood Company does not specifically state
whether II is its intention TO run trailer"
cars or motor" cars over the lines OF
the latter. If it is the purpose to run
motor cars. then. the Metropolitan peo-
pie claim, 1t would be unjust for them
to be required to furnish power for such
accommodation. The answer then goes on
to explain what is the generally accepted
meaning of the term trackage in all busi-
ness circles, maintaining that it means no
more or less than accommodations for the
moving of the cars OF one line over that OF
another, but does not mean that the COM
pany according such accommodations shall
