An Electric Car Ablaxe-Accident ON
Tenleytown Line.
Car No. 407 Of the Great Falls electric
railroad while en- route to Cabin John
bridge last evening about o'clock. caught
fire at seth street and Prospect avenue. and
the passengers managed to disembark In
extraordinarily quick time. The fire was
caused by the burning Of the main feed
wire Of the car, which ignited the wood
work. Though attempts were made to ex-
tinguish the flames, they were not success
full until the car was taken to the barn
near the Foxhall road. There were no
other cars in the barn to take the place Of
the one damaged, and the passengers had
difficult time in getting aboard the cars
which followed, every one being crowded.
The loss Is estimated at 800. The fire
caused quite q blockade on the road, and
when the cars were again started rear
car ran past the pillow pit, the pillow striking
the embankment and causing additional
excitement, besides again tying up the cars.
The two accidents delayed the traffic over
an hour.

O'Clock on Wisconsin avenue near the

The police and the relatives of Harry H.
Wsedon, the steamfftter, who disappeared
from here about two weeks ago, are Low
fully satisfied with the identification Of the
body that was found on the rocks Of Dead
Mans Point a week ago yesterday. Weed
ons trunk, that was found in the bushes
on the flats near the scene Of the finding
OF the body and of the csat and hat, was
yesterday taken to police headquarters and
opened with the key that was taken from
the trousers pocket Of the dead man. The
trunk contai leu only a few dollars worth

showing he / al made no payments on his
policy for nearly four months.
Relatives Of the dead man were under the
impression that he had paid his insurance
up to date and the money was to be used
in paying for the removal Of the body from

have yet been made.

ADJUSTMENTS.

THE PALM GARDEN-Owing to the
failure Of some Of the headline people to
arrive at the Palm Garden in time for
this weeks program the management de-
cided to inaugurate a change Of policy
and to let the moving pictures constitute
the entire evenings entertainment. Instead
of charging 80 and 25 cents as heretofore,
the cost Of admission was reduced to 10
cents. The pictures are very distinct and
the motion very smooth. The entertain
ment constitutes a good return for the
money invested at the box Office. 1t is
probable that the Palm Garden will close
what has been a very satisfactory season
with this weeks attraction. This is due
to the opening of the regular vaudeville
and variety theaters, soon to occur.
The Palm Garden is to be rebuilt for next
season. and Mr.. Noonan and Mr.. Johnson
have In contemplation vaudeville on a still
greater scale than that which has made
so favorable an impression among the sum-
mer theater patrons Of this city. The We
netograph will constitute the only attrac-
ton at the Palm Garden for the entire
week.
