The prospects for good crop this
year were materially improved by the
recent rain and at this time there
seems to be no reason to fear the re-
suits of the season. All crops are be-
lated by the dry weather and the
wheat and oats are undoubte dly injur-
ed, but the prospects for corn and cot
ton and other crops are very promis-

crops, while caused to some extent by
the drouth, q lack of rain was not

THE FERNS CLOSE CALL.
4 Collision Narrowly Averted at the
End Of Yesterdays Crufse.

A collision between the Washington and
Alexandria ferryboa Columbia and the
District Of Columbia Naval Reserve boat
Fern was narrowly averted last night just
of the wharves of the two vessels at the foot
of Seventh Street The quick work of the
crews of the two boats was all that pre-
vented serious accident. Both bessels
were wen handled but for short time 1t
looked as though they would come to-
gether
The affair occurred shortly after 7:30
o'clock The Fern was putting into her
wharf after a cruise down the Potomac,
while the Columbia. in command of Captain
Entwistle, had almost reached her wharf on
her last trip from Alexandria. The Fern
had turned and was headed for her dock
when the narrow escape occurred. The
many passengers on the ferryboat were
badly frightened, while the people as
sembled or the wharf, who were not able
TO see the actual distance between the two
beats, felt sure that an accident would
occur.
Th. crew ofthe Fern. according to orders
issued. we're all on beard by o'clock yes
terday morning for the inspection and mus
ter OF the battalion, which was TO take
place during ths trip down the river. Inc
vessel was expected TO leave her wharf at
7:30 O'Clock, but, owing TO the dense fog
on the river at that time, the lines were
not cast off until nearly two hours later.
The muster ana inspection was conducted
by Major Charles H. Ourand, assisted by
Capt. Alfred p Robbins. aide-de-camp, and
Capt. c. F. Cook. aide-de-camp, District
of Columbia National Guard. The battalion
made an excellent showing. The following
! officers were on board: Lieutenant Com
mander Hopkins, Chief Signal and Ord

] Surgeon Cox, Lieutenents Shipley and
/ Bradbury. Ensigns Correll and Buck, and
Paw Clerk Fiske One hundred and twenty
men were mustered.
The ward rooms were inspected and the
Fern given a complete examination. Every
thing was found 10 be in shipshape. When
the Fern had proceeded down the river as
fer as Indian Head the men were given
practice with the guns at floating targets

"A Meeting of Members of the Fourth
Immuues Called.

The District soldiers of the Fourth I'M
munes have, in considerable numbers, ex-
pressed a desire to form local camp of
the Spanish American War Veterans. Col.
NJ. Emmett Urell, the department COM

BIS RUsE FAILED.
A Negro Tries to Trip n Policeman
and Is Shot.

Early yesterday morning the quiet neigh
borhood in Pennsylvania Avenue between
Fourteenth and Fifteenth Streets southeast,
was startled by the loud reports of pistol
firing Policemen McLucas and Stewart,
in making an attempt to capture four ne
groes, who had been acting very suspi
ciously, shot Frank Washington, who was
one OF the gang. About o'clock in the
morning both policemen were standing on
the corner of Fourteenth and e Streets
southeast, when they noticed four negroes
acting suspiciously on the corner of Fiji
teenth and Streets. The negroes started
out E Street and the policemen followed
them. The suspects entered the sheds OF
Shelton & Co.'S stone works. Sixteenth and
z Streets. Here the policemen concealed
themselves and endsavored to overhear the
negroes conversation, but were not sue
cessful. The negroes came out OF the sheds
and walked back 10 Fifteenth Street where
! they turned down toward Pennsylvania
Avenue. Policeman McLucas followed
them, while Stewart hurried down TO
Fourteenth Street with the intention of
heading the negroes off If they came his
way. When McLucas reached Pennsylvania
Avenue he found the men seated on the
curbstone, and started TO arrest them.
They commenced running toward Fifteenth
i toward the ground, as he ran after the
negroes.
Frank Washington, who was the nearest
| to McLucas, dropped TO the ground with
! the evident intention of tripping the OFF,
| Ger. McLucas stumbled against the curb
stone and the pistol was discharged. The
! bullet struck Washington in the 1eshy
part of the left thigh. Officer Stewart
| then appeared on the corner of Fifteenth
! Street and Pennsylvania Avenue and fired
| three shots at the fleeing negroes but
failed TO hit any of them. The fugitives
| made their way down Fifteenth Street and
/ have not been seen since.
Frank. Washington is thirty-two years
old and lives in Navy Place southeast. He
| has a bad reputation, and has been under
the surveillance of the police for some time.
He was taken to the Washington Hospital
| where his wound, which is not serious, was
dressed. He will be removed from the
| hospital today.

descent gas lamps, and their proposition
has met with great deal of opposition
from the residents of that section. They
do not want the lamps taken down, and
they do not want gas. 1t is argued by the
Commissioners that when electric lights
are used an accident to the cable carry
ing the current will throw the entire
village into complete darkness and nothing
OF the kind ever happens to gas. The in
candescent lamps which the District au-
thorities proposed to substitute for those
now in use are said to give more bril-
liant light than the electric system of
Illumination, and they claim that these
lights are easily repaired. The matter
was submitted to the lexington Citizens
Association last week, and ii is expected
that a report will be received at the Dis
trict Building early this week.

II Is probable that in a few days the
District Commissioners will have ser-
Gus problem to deal with in changing the
system Of lighting the streets in lexington.
When that suburb was first established,
several years ago, it was merely q col
lection Of summer homes, and the streets
were lighted with electricity from the
power house of the electric railroad. In
candescent lamps we're placed at each cor
ner on iron poles. and the streets presented
a very pretty appearance when lighted at
night This system Of lighting was grad
ually extended as the suburb grew in size
and the current was furnished from one
OF the electric lighting companies. II has
been satisfactory TO the residents OF that
locality in every respect except that there
was no way by which signs bearing the
names Of the streets could be attached 10

at present, and it has become necessary
that such matters should be attended TO.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE LECTURE

Doctor Fluno Will Speak in Salem We'd
nesday Evening at the Opera House.
The announcement that one of the
national official lecturers of the Chris
tian. Science faith is to lecture at Reeds
opera house in Salem next Wednesday
evening, is attracting wide spread at
tention throughout the community.
This teaching has spread more widely
and rapidly than any religious doctrine
during modern times. 1t has been oon-
demned by the Clergy and the medical
profession quite generally, and many of
its followers have been prosecuted in
the courts, but the faith has continued
to spread until it has found adherents
in nearly every town and hamlet. All
the persecution that has come to the
surface has been received in the most
kindly spirit by the Christian Scientists.
Their motto seems to be to court the
fullest investigation of their claims
from the standpoint of truth and abide
by the results.
DIR. Fluno who is to lecture here on
the 18th is cultured gentlemen, a
former physician and an accomplished
lecturer. He attracts large andien ces
wherever he appears, and his presenta-
tion of the subject bears the stamp of
approval by all thinking people. The
lecture will be free, and all wishing a
better knowledge of this subject should
make it point to attend at the Reed
Wednesday evening, May IL, at s
O'Clock sharp.
