at I o'clock and was given charge of a
steam saw erected temporarily on Execu-
tive Avenue. near Madison Place north
west. During the afternoon he began to
saw pile of timbers into proper lengths
for use on the stand. Above his head was
a large fly wheel operated at considerable

strap and was hurled downward with
great force. striking Harris on the top of
the skull and throwing him 10 the pave

and selling warsbips.

Senator Hale yesterday submitted TO the
Senate a number Of communications from
the Secretary of the Navy concerning naval
affairs. One of these is list showing the
names of vessels purchased for the navy
during the war with Spain, together with
the prices paid, and also list OF such
vessels which have been sold, together
with the prices received for them. The
latter includes the following: Niagara.
s2O0 eco, sold for s75, 000; Badger. 1867 600.

Another of the documents was a state
ment showing the disposition of officers OF
the navy II shows that of the l, 1852 officers
.013 were at sea on the 1st of January
last The one Admiral dewey was on
shore duty, as also we're thirteen of the
eighteen rear admirals.
The third document presented was
statement of ihe need of the navy for ad-
ditional line officers below the grade of
lieutenant commander. compiled from rec
concentrations Of the Secretary and the
chief of the Bureau Of Navigation.
The contention is made in the last
document that many of the existing YES
sells arc inaAequately oficered and that
900 officers viii be required for new ves-
sells now ordered and for old vesse in
reserve. In view of these needs the rec
ommendation is made that the Naval Ap-
preparation bill be amended so as to au-
thoIiZe the appointment of two cadets
by each Senator and Representative in
Congress and for the appointment OF ten
cadets at large.

Local Bills Considered by House Dis
trict Committee.

The House District Committee met yes
terday and considered several bills of
local interest which were ordered favora-
bly, reported The first taken up was the
Senate bill to reduce the interest penal
ties on arrears in taxes and special as
sessments in the District Barry Bulk
ley and Thomas G. Hensey, representing
the business Mems Association, were he
fore the committee TO discuss the bill
which provides that from and after the
Slst day of May, 1901, the interest oharge-
able against property owners in the Dis
trict of Columbia upon assessments Tor
the improvement and repair of alleys and
sidewlks and the construction of sewers,
sidewalks, curbing, and grading shall be
per cent per annum from the date of
the seFvtee of notice of such assessmsnt
on all amounts which shall remain un-
paid at the expiration of sixty days after
service of such notice
That from and after the passage of
this act the amount for which properly is
bid in at any tax sale in the name of the
District of Columbia shall bear interest
at the rate of per cent per annum from
date of sale in lieu Of the rate now pre-
serbed by law.
That the rate of interest. after sale of
property ito purchaser other than the Dis
annum instead of - Fer cent as now p,o-
vided by act of February Is. 1898
That all acts or parts of acts in con-
fiiC- herewith be. and the same are here
by. repealed"
Mr.. Hensey, in addressing the commit
tee, advocated the cutting down of the
interest rates on penalties to the rates
prevailing in the different States. The
present rate of interest is l per cent rer
month on general taxes and after sale to
outsiders the rate. he said is Is per
cent He suggested that the rates on gen.
eral taxes be cut in half and that the
interest after sale be reduced to
per cent. The interest rates on special
improvements which were now and 10
per cent. he said ought to be cut in two.
In answer to question from MIR. Meyer.
a member of the committee Mr.. Hensey
said the reduction OF interest penalties
was not in the interest of the rich as has
been charged. Mr.. Hensey said that So
per cent OF the property holders on whom
the penalty burdens fall were poor and
could not speculate in land as has been
suggested. The interest charged on the
taxes he said. is exorbitant.

WILD DASH OF A RUNAWAY CAR
An Anacostia Trailer Narrowly Es-
capes Causing an Accident.

An accident was narrowly ayerted last
night on the AnacOstia and Potomac Rail-
way, through the presence OF mind of
Charles Frazier. a motorman, who re-
versed his car on the Eastern Bran n
bridge, and avoided a collision with
runaway car. Failure of the brakes on
the runaway car to work, and the steep
down grade of the tracks on Monroe
Street AnacOstia. gave the car momen-
tum, which threatened its destruction and
damage to anything in its path.
The runaway car was a trailer, which
became detached from motor car at
switch located near Grant and Monroe
Streets, Anacostia. Both motor car and
trailer were being placed in position Pre-
paratOry to another trip to this city, and
the motor car was yet in the switch when
the trailer suddenly began to move down
Monroe Street, toward the river. SO
steep is the grade on Monroe Street that
the car gained unusual speed. and dashed
along uncontrolled by brakes, which sail
ed to respond for some reason to efforts
by the conductor, who was aboard the car
AS the trailer neared the bridge over the
Eastern Branch it was going at rate of
twenty miles an hour. and it is wonder
it was not hurled from the track at the
curve at the opening of the bridge From
the switch the runaway had gone along the
outbound track from this city. Mean
while ear loaded with passengers. in
charge OF Motorman F..zier was coming
along toward Anaeo5tia over the bridge.
The runaway car had no lights, but Frazier
saw it nevertheless. as 1t turned onto the
bridge. laundering toward his own car.
Without loss of a moment he reversed his
motor. The trailer gained on the motor
car which ran backward across the bridge.
hut the upgrade from the bridge into the
city on Eleventh Street stopped the run
away car and a collision was thus averted
The conductor Of the car cluns to his post
TO the end. Several OF the passengers OF
the motor car were alarmed and walked
over the bridge TO their homes in Ana
costa

KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS FAIR.
Large Crowds mt the Washington
Light Infantry Armory.

1t is doubtful il ever a street in old
barcelona more crowded than the
miniature street in Barcelona which
forms the general scheme of decoration at
the Knights of Columbus Fair in the
Washington Light Infantry Armory. The
crowd which visited the fair last night
was so large that it was difficult to make
progress from one booth to another. The
management of the affair was greatly
pleased at the increased attendance and
expressed themselves assured of the sue
cess OF the undertaking If IL continues to
meet with equal patronage hereafter.
All the numerous enterprises calculated
to raise money for the Finance Committee
We're patronized well last night. The
Knights OF Columbus fair Is by far the
largest and most elaborate ever held in
Washington, and differs from other enter
prises of similar nature in the number
of unique and up-to-date features that
have been introduced. A number of them
are calculated to sustain interest during
the entire time that the fair will be held.
Prominent among these is the voting con-
tests. The one for the golden ehalice
which is to be presented at the close of
the fair, on the 18th instant, to the priest
receiving the highest number of votes. is
of special interest. Ten cents is charged
for the privilege of voting, and the friends
of the priests are working hard for their
favorites. In addition there are a num-
Der OF other voting contests, while articles
ranging from automobiles down TO sofa
cushions are being rafied of in nearly
every booth. In one OF the booths there ia
displayed 1900 in gold which will be given
to the person lucky enough to buy one
of a thousand keys which will unlock
the box containing the money.
Each evening there will be presented
vaudeville programme. The one last night
was encored several times. This feature is
especially popular. Tonight the Rev.
Father Pardow. of St Aloysius Church.
will deliver an address, and tomorrow night
the 'san. II. b. F. Macfarland, Commits
sioner Of the District, will speak. Dane
ing will be enjoyed every evening al 10
O'Clock. Music will be provided by full
orchestra.
