Protection for Young Girls.

To the Editor OF The Evening Star:
1t seems that a certain class of mash
ers'' on Market space think that the young
ladies who are employed in Saks' stores
until late on Saturday night are their
legitimate prey. There is hardly Satur
day night that some of these young ladies,
without an escort, are not 1nsulted, an
noyed and embarrassed by loafers, ranging
in age from the young dude to the old gray
beard. These young ladies work from
o'clock in the morning until after 10 o'clock
at night on Saturdays, and their brothers
or fathers cannot always arrange to meet
them at the store and see them safely
home.
Last Saturday night about half-past 10
two young ladies had gone from the store
but a short distance when they were ac-
costed by two men, apparently about thirty
five or forty years old. These two wolves
In Sleeps clothing impeded the young Ia
dies progress, then tried to walk beside
them and when the ladies passed on ahead
of them they followed and continued to an
noy them by making remarks in such a
manner that even passers-by noticed 1t, but
no one ventured to protect the ladies'. These
scamps did not desist until one of the ladies
said to the other, IF they follow US any
farther 1 will call officer" One of the
young ladies' did not get over the excite
ment for some time after she arrived at
her home which is over two miles from
Saks' stores by car line.
Chief of Police Sylvester will confer a
favor on many ladies and their parents If
he will detail one or two officers to look
after these men and bring some of them up
before the Police Court. By doing this he
will make 1t as safe for ladies who have to
be out late in the evening in the heart OF
the city as 1t is made for men.

TERMINATES FATALLY.
Death of James Payne, Victim of Pre-
mature Explosion.


James Payne, a young colored man, was
fatally injured yesterday afternoon by the
premature explosion of dynamite at the
Jones & Kuhn stone quarry near occoquan,
Va He was brought to this city on a
train and taken to the Emergency Hos
pita1 for treatment, but died at an early
hour this morning.
Payne was tamping hole in the rock
with a heavy club. In some way powder
came in contact with g. blaze when Payne
was lighting the fuse. and the blast fol-
lowed before he could get away. The force
of the explosion threw the unfortunate
man a distance OF fully ten feet and al
though frightfully torn and mangled he
did not lose consciousness. DR.. Powell OF
OccoQuan was summoned to the quarry,
and succeeded in giving the injured man
temporary relief.
When the patient reached the Emergency
Hospital, Drs. Jackson. Adams. Whitson
and Williams attended him. They found
that fragments of the tamping stick had
penetrated his stomach, and had torn quite
large hole in his left side. The left arm
was broken near the elbow and flesh had
been torn from the bones Besides these
Injuries Payne had sustained a fractured
skull and more than a score Of cuts and
bruises about his head and body, and was
badly burned.
An operation was performed on the
patient last night, and the doctors worked
hard to save him, but his injuries were
too severe to yield to treatment. The de-
ceased was about thirty years old and
brothers came here from Virginia last
night and remained with him at the hos
pital until a late hour. 1t Is likely his
body will be taken to OccoQuan for burial.
