PERMIT GRANTED.
The Anacostia Railroad Company to
Build an Extension.

The Anacostia Railroad Company to
Build an Extension.
The Anacostia and Potomac River Rail-
road Company. the purchaser of the Belt
railway, has been granted permission by
the District Commissioners to extend its
line on 4th street from the intersection of
G to Hardwood avenue, and north on said
avenue to Elm street, the extension to be.
of course. an underground electric system.
1t will be recalled that application for such
permission was filed by the Anacostia COM
pany several weeks ago, and the Commits
sioners referred 1t to their attorney, who
advised them, as was stated in The Star
at the time. that, as the purchaser of the
Belt railway, the Anacostia company was
entitled to the desired permit. Such u
right was granted the first-named road sew
eral years ago by Congress. with the pro-
vision that unless completed within a GER
tam period the right should thereupon
cease
The Belt railway did not make the extern
sion. but the Commissioners legal adviser
held that the act of Congress OF June -.
1893. to define the rights Of the purchasers
of the Belt railway, revived such privilege
This opinion the Commissioners have con-
CURED in. with the result that they have
granted the desired permission.

RECEIVES SERIOUS INJURY.
COlOred Man is knocked Down by 6
Bicycle.

Henry Talbot, colored fortyone years
old, was knocked down by bicycle at 10th
and K streets between ) and 6 o'clock yes
terday afternoon, and seriously injured.
When he reached the Emergency Hospital
the physicians found that his skull was
fractured, and it was feared he might die
The physicians notified the authorities at
police headquarters, and an investigation
followed.
1t is sid that Talbot was crossing K
street, when wheelman, young white
man. came riding along. When the col
lison occurred both pedestrian and wheel
man went down. The latter. who was not
seriously injured, got up and assisted in
the removal of the colored man to Cisselps
drug store. and from there he was removed
to the hospital. The wheelman started to-
ward the hospital but probably believing
he could be of no service. he turned and
went home. Word was sent to Talbot's
home, on New York avenue northwest near
9Th street. and his relatives called at the
hospital to see him.
While the affair was an unavoidable &C.

MIGHT ROW AT POUGHkEEPsIE.
Prospect of Forming Freshman
in, Eni tv


Crew in Georgetown University.
1t is extremely probable that next year
Georgetown University will be represented
by a freshmen crew in the intercollegiate
race on the Hudson river at Poughkeepsie.
Though nothing has been definitely ar
ranged, the project of having a crew Is
being discussed and there is every reason
to believe that next spring candidates for
positions will be training on the Potomac.
There is more material in the university
this year than ever before for the forma-
ton of a good crew, and President Whit
ney is said to be in favor of the step. Frank
Kerns of Worcester Mass, a leading New
England amateur sculler. is student at
the university. He won his junior and an
intermediate race on labor day at Boston.
He was formerly stroke of the Worcester
High School crew. Quinn, a candidate for
the foot ball team, is also good oars
man. coming from Worcester. and was
member of the winning high school team.
of the freshmen class who would be able to
form several good crews
1t Is understood that in the event of the
introduction of aquatics. the of one of
the boat houses the Potomac will be
secured. ]. H. Doyle, the president of the
Potomac Boat Club, is interested in the
| movement, and it is poss BILE that the club
he represents may tender the use of its
quarters for the accommodation of the uni
versity crew. Until the sport becomes more
firmly established in the college there Is
hardly any likelihood of the erection of
house specially for the varsity oarsmen
Some years ago an effort was made to
| introduce aquatcs in Georgetown Univer-
sity. and the Potomac Boat Club, in order
to encourage the matter, gave the univer-
sity boat to use for training purposes
The interest in rowing was not so great as
was hoped at that time and the movement
died a natural death.

Record Of the Clubs.

The Senators were once more up against
a strong proposition yesterday in Boston,
a good club. biased umpiring and weak
fielding permitting the champions to take
two games, the first by the score of to
2 and the second to 2.
In the first game Roy Evans cleverly
outpointed the celebrated Nichols in the
matter of hits being made off his delivery,
but the weak fielding back of him enabled
the Bostonese to win the game. The cham
pions also had misplays. but they were of
the kind that were not costly Umpire
Hunt once more hobbed to the front, and
reports from Boston say that the first con-
test Was a clear gift to The champions as
"a result of one of his weird deciS ons, the
runs necessary 10 win being made after the
third out should have been declared. Hunt
also made himself conspicuous in the sec
ond game. and. before. the Washing tons
Were the sufferers.
To hold the champions down to six hits
is quite a feat and this is what Evans
did yesterday, the Bos, oneSe being COM
ple,ely fooled on his sharp drop ball. three
of them str king out The Senators secured
but seven hits off Nichols. but they usu-
ally hit the ball hard and directly at the
opposing fielders luck playing prominent
part in The put-outs secured against Mr..
WagnerS men.
In the second game the pitching was not
so good from a Senatorial point of view
McFarlan beeing found quite Frequently,
but Ted Lewis was at his best, anu as a
result but six safeties We're cred ted to the
batterS that faced him. On top of McFar-
lans weak efforts to twirl. Mr. Scheibeck
made himself unusually prominent by mis-
cueing four times, a startling record for
this usually reliable player: Powers fell
down twice and Slagle once. With a rec
ord of seven errors against them the Sena-
tors can hardly be expected to win from
the Bostons and perhaps his weird exhibit
ton accounts for McFaran's helpless con-
dition- Jimmy Sagle's fed Ing caught the
Bostonese by its brillancy. the little fellow
covering acres of ground. Neither Nichols
or Lewis gave base on balls, and Hamil-
tons playing was also brilliant. Scores:

Here the disaster occurred. The fire
seems to have started at night In a store

down TO join the Panama garrison. and
Capt. Noguera, commanding the Montoya.

THREE KILLED
 BY EXPLOSION Powder Keg ExpIodes and the Roof Falls in, Imprison-
 ing the Family.

Louisville, Ky, December H-A sad acci- dent occurred yesterday near Alliance postoffice, Floyd county, resulting in the death of Nelson Hamilton and three of his children. Hamilton who was preparing to do some blasting, was pouring out some pow der from a keg when his 4-year-old son picked up a small amount and tossed it in- to the fire.
 The explosion threw embers into the pile of powder, and terrific explosion followed. The father and little son and two older children, who were in the room, were shocked into insensibility. The ceiling was lifted from its place, the walls spread and the upper part of the house came down again and stopped about half way of the walls, fhus fastening all the doors se- curely.
 When the oldest daughter regained con- sciousness sufficiently to realize that the house was in flames she tried to open a door, but at once she saw the hopelessness of such an effort and began to scream for help A neighbor arrived in time to burst in a door and get the tortured prisoners out, but they were so badly burned that all died within a few hours.
