B. & o. S. w. IMPROVEMENTS.

The improvements that are being
made to the Baltimore & Ohio South
Western railroad between Parkersburg
and East St. Louis are being pushed
rapidly to completion. Seventeen thou
sand tons of S5-pound steel rail have
been placed in the track and there are
still $4,000 tons to come, delivery being
delayed on account of rush of orders
at the mills. The company has also
put in 125 miles of gravel ballast and
expects to get out 200 miles more dur
ing the season, and it is hoped by fall
that the track will rank as the best in
the west. A great many grade reduc
tons and changes in line are also be-
ing made between Cincinnati and ST.
Louis. Thee purpose is to make uni
form one-haf of one per cent. grade
between Cincinnati and st. Louis, as
well as to eliminate a large amount of
Objectionable curvature. At one point,
for instance. the line is to be. short
ened a mile and half, $50 degrees of
curvature eliminated and seven bridges
abandoned.

HIS LEAP PROVED FATAL.
Richard Gemeny Dies From the Re.

Richard II. Gemeny. who jumped from
window at the Homeopathic Hospital
early Tuesday morning. died that after
noon as the result of injuries sustained by
his wild leap. His remains were removed
to Alexandria yesterday afternoon, and
will be inferred today. The funeral will
occur from the late residence Of The de-
ceased at the corner OF Prince and Payne
Streets. and will be private. Gemeny was
a son of the late r. H. Gemeny, well
known Alexandrian. He was married and

dead man was for long time train des-
patcher of the Washington. Alexandria, and
Mount Vernon Railway, with headquarters

Gemeny, it will be remembered, was ad-
mitted TO the Homeopathic Hospital Satur-
day night He was then suffering from
what appeared TO be stomach trouble His
condition improved until early Tuesday
morning. when he eluded the vigilance OF
the nurses and physicians and leaped from
a first floor window at the hospital. Police

Gemeny created such disturbance that
it became necessary to convey him to No.

dition of the man caused his removal TO
the hospital, where he died at late hour.
The cause of death was given as exposure
and injury due to the leap from the window.

Humidity and Intense Heat Make
Humanity UncOmfOrtabie.
Another spell of 80 degree weather Wis
tied Washington yesterday and with a rel
alive named Humidity managed TO make
things interesting for the residents of the
District who were forced to bear the brunt
of the damp hot wave. This latest friend
of the ice man is peculiar in that while the
days are exceeding warm, the nights are
really cool and require sundry coverings
for comfort The weather man claims that
the warm wave is not abnormal, and re-
CARDS the present weather as beautiful for
the month of September. The month will
be rather cool and only less than one week
of really warm weather remains before the
chilling autumn sets in 1t is expected that
the warm days and cool nights will produce
a harvest of colds, and no chances should
be taken by donning thin raiment during
the evening. The summer of 1899 has been
a remarkable one, according to the weather
officials in that il has produced many very
warm waves and many very cool days. 1t
is therefore only fitting that the season
should go out with some eccentric capers,
and while men may swelter at high noon
they may also shiver at early morn.

THE CARNEGIE LIBRARY.
A Preliminary Discussion of the Re.
yised Plans.

-Four members of the Washington Public
Library Commission designated by Con-
gress to control the erection of the 5000. 900
building to be erected in Mount Vernon
Square with funds donated by Andrew Car
negie met in the offices of Commissioner
Ross at the District Building late yester-
day afternoon and discussed the changes
which the architects had made in the
drawings originally submitted. The dis
cussion was OF a preliminary character. It
being the intention of the Commission to
meet again within few days and go over
the plans in detail. Commissioner Wight
who is away on his vacation, was the only
member of the Commission absent.
Bernard r. Green, superintendent Of the
Library of Congress and Superintendent of
Construction OF the proposed library build
ing, was at the meeting. The revised plans
OF Ackermann & Ross. of New York, were
delivered to Mr.. Green to be thoroughly
gone over. 1t is thought that with few
slight changes in the matter of detail the
architects can, within a month at least
so modify their designs that they will be
entirely acceptable to the Commission. Ad-
vertisements for proposals will then be
requested.

A PRISONER WALKS AWAY.
Detectives Lose Their Man After
Reaching headquarters.

euShing HeaGquarfers.
John Schwab escaped from Police Head
quarters about O'Clock yesterday after
noon, and though an effort was made to
recapture him he was still at large at a
late hour last night. The man was ar
rested by Detectives Peck and Miller, and
some offence, the police claimed last night
that they were not sure OF the nature OF
it. 1t was stated that it was thought the
man was wanted for false pretences in con-
nection with a horse trade. At the time
the arrest and subsequent escape occurred
Inspector Boardman was not at headquar-
ters. He was made acquainted with the
facts of the case later.
An effort on the part of the police was
made to keep the matter of the escape
quiet No record OF the arrest was made,
and of course no escape was recorded.
Major Sylvester stated last night at 9
o'clock that he had no knowledge of the
affair, and when informed of it imme-
diately started an investigation. Not only
was Major Sylvester in ignorance of the
affair, but Night Inspector Carter stated
that he had no knowledge of it. Inspector
Boardman was then appealed to. and he
stated that while he knew a man had es-
capped he did not know his name, nor for
what he was arrested Finally the inspec-
tor admitted that the man was Schwab,
but said he was not positive of the charge
He stated. however, that the offence was of
minor Importance
1t appears that Schwab was wanted for
some offence by Detective Muller. Detec-
tives Miller and Peck encountered the
man, and knowing that he was wanted at
headquarters, placed him under arrest
Schwab was taken to headquarters. At
tention was distracted from him for a mo-
ment and he walked out of the building
1t was said that he went through the in
spector's room and out the door leading
into hallway From there the man, 1t is
alleged, walked through a rear entrance
into an alleyway in the rear of headquar-
ters. How long he had been gone before
the escape was discovered is not known.
At ali events all efforts to capture him
were unsuccessful. When Major Sylvester
was informed of the escape last night he
expressed great surprise.
