conductors and engineers for the most

car No. 4, closed vestibule conveyance
| started from the power house some time III
the forenoon, one day. owing to a failure
of the brakes to work. 1t dashed down 32d
street, and at the curve, just below N
street, jumped the track. 1t ran along
partly on the sidewalk and partly in the
street, snapped a trolley pole like pipe
stem, and plunged into a large telegraph
pole, almost in front of the Potomac Fire
Insurance Company. The car went nearly
half its length before its momentum was
checked.
The second runaway occurred about a
year ago. when a car became unmanage-
able at 32d and M streets. and started
across M street and down the steep hill
leading to the river. The brakes would not
work, and the heavy vehicle plunged into
the boathouse of the Columbia Athletic
Club. partly wrecking the building and
crushing, though they were egg shells,
some of the boats stored there. The floor
OF the boathouse gave way, otherwise the
car would have continued on its course and
plunged into the river.
The residents of Georgetown are much
excited over the matter of these runaways.
They have all along looked for fatal re-
suits. they say. 1t is regarded as a piece
of exceptional good fortune that no fatali-
ties have as yet been recorded, but there
is no guarantee, the people say, that SINH
lar accidents will not occur in the future
with more serious results.
Demand for Safety Brakes.
When the road was under the old man.
agement, some of the residents of this sec
ton petitioned the Commissioners to COM
pei the company to equip all of its cars
with safety brakes. so that in the event of
the chain brake refusing to work, the
others could be applied. The grade on 32d
street is said to be exceptionally steep for
railroading, the only protection to the pub
lie being the ordinary chain brake which
frequently fails to properly work. The
complaint of the Georgetown people was
| investigated at the time, it is said, but
the only change recommended was for each
car to be well supplied at all times with a
liberal quantity of sand.
In view of the occurrence Of Saturday
and the talk of number of Georgetown
residents, it is quite likely that another and
more emphatic petition will be forwarded
to the Commissioners, regarding the intro
duction of safety brakes on all of the cars
running on the line. 1t is stated that there
was a time when the original Tenleytown
cars were equipped with track brakes, in
addition to the shoe brakes on the wheels
but the track brakes, it is understood, were
all removed.

Alleged Agreement of Representa-

Alleged Agreement of Representa-
tives of Jeffries and Sharkey.
The New York Herald today has an ex-
elusive story to the effect that William
Brady, looking after the interests of Pugi-
list Jeffries, and the manager of Tom Shar-
key have agreed to pull off the coming
fight, scheduled for next month, at the
Coney Island Athletic Club The managers
of Jeffries and Sharkey have been waiting
for bids for the past month, and although
several have been received, it is now re-
ported that the Coney Island crowd will
get the fight. 1t is believed that more
money can be taken in at the club by the
sea than at any other place in this coun-
try, and besides be assured of police pro-
lection. Although the fight is only a few
weeks distant, betting the affair has
been very light, and what little money has
been wagered has been at the odds of 10 ia
Z in favor of the California lad.

causing a smash-up. The car was loaded
with five tons of bituminous coal, and it
seems almost miraculous that no loss Of
life attended the incident AS it was, the
greater part of the damage done was SUI
fered by the railroad company. one Of the
open cars of the Glen Echo line, No. IL, be-
ing completely wrecked. the coal car de-

The runaway occurred on SD street. The

distance of several squares. Within five
minutes after the run-in the street was
blocked with people, expecting to find the
mangled remains of unfortunate passen-
gers, but in this every one was most pleas
antly disappointed.
1t took force of repair hands over two
hours to clear the tracks of the debris and
right the te1escoDed cars as much as could
be under the circumstances. So great had
been the IMPACT that car IL, which was
standing with brakes on. was thrown back
ward sQuarely on the track, distance Of
thirty or forty feet. Large Jumps of coal
were scattered in every direction, and the
roadway of both sides of the street at
the point of the accident was covered with
coal dust, in some places being fully six
inches deep good part of the load of
coal was deposited upon the wrecked pas
senger car, the greater part p.ling into
the end of the car the farthest from the
point of contact.

Crowded With Pa.sengers.

Car No. Il was crowded with passengers
five seconds before the run-in. According
to the statement of the conductor, Milton
Riley, there were about forty people
aboard. number of whom were women
1t took just about three seconds to empty
the car, and hasty was the flight Of
some that they left their bundles behind
Some of the women passengers left their
pocket books on the seats upon which they
sat, thinking of nothing but their own
safety. There was time to spare. Some
of the passengers had only gone as far
as the curbstone when the crash came,
and they were struck by flying Jumps of
COAL while the black dust almost complete
ly enveloped them.
The coal car, which caused all of the
damage, had only preceded car No II by
a few minutes. being attached to the rear
of car No. 8, a double truck affair, which,
with the coal, was bound for Glen Echo.
Its flight commenced on what is known as
pole HILL" the steep grade beyond the
power house of the company on SD street,
and a short distance above the Tunlaw
road. When the flying coal freight passed
by the power house telephone message
was Immediately sent into Georgetown to
O'Donnell's drug store, at 32d and o
streets. but by the time the message was
received the car had passed the point, and
the crash had occurred.
Warnings of the runaway were sent
ahead by word of mouth. People who saw
1t flying over the tracks shouted to others
ahead of them. Women who happened to
see 1t shrieked a warning. all fearing fatal
results The car passed successive points so
quickly that several seconds elapsed before
any one could realize what it was. Coming
down the steep grade on 32d street, all that
could be seer was mass Of dust. 1t re-
sembled the oncoming of a tornado or cy-
clone, and along the course of its wild
run it left layer Of coal dirt and dust AS
