A Danger Point.

~ Tue h'uitor OF Inc Evening Star:
In your issue of Wednesday you noted a
serious accident at the corner Of I'd and I
streets northeast, Horse killed and boy
injured" 1t SO happened that I went by
that place a few minutes after the acct
dent occurred. There is responsibility
for that accident and for previous ones at
the same place, resting with the District of
Columbia or the railroad company. On
each side of the bridge for several rods,
and close to the road. there is al high en-
oankment: unprotected BY fence or guard
or any kind This open death trap has
continued for years, and the only reason
why more accidents haveJr,o occurred is
that people In vehicles avoid the place.
eoiored man, Washington, is an honest,
nard-worklng man, but now he is very sud
denIy deprived Of his means Of earning a
living. Who is responsible for it? Is it
the District or the railroad company?

ALEXANDRIA AFFAIRS
THE POLICE BOARD HOLDS A
SPECIAL MEETING.
William E. Lyles Added to City Force
Railway Company Directed
to Abate Nuisance.

Evening Star Bureau,
No. 701 King street.


ALEXANDRIA, Va, August %. 1902.
A called meeting of the board of police
commissioners was held last evening for
the purpose of electing a policeman All
the members were present and Mayor
Simpson presided. The resignation of Jane g
Hall was read and accepted. Several an
plications for the vacated position were
received The mayor announced that the
viva voce method of election, prescribed
by the new constitution, would be observed
William E. Lyles, a former policeman. re-
ceived three votes and Daniel Warder re-
ceived two, the former being declare d
elected. The chairman and .Messrs LAWYER
and Fisher cast their votes for Lyles
while Commissioners Miller and Hill voted
for Warder. There was no other business
before the meeting, which adjourned as
soon as this matter was disposed of.
Order to Abate Nuisance.
The complaints which poured into the
station house a few weeks ago concerning
the passage of garbage trains over the
Fayette street track Of the Richmond
Fredicksburg and Potomac railroad have
practically ceased, and it is supposed that
the alleged nuisance has been in a measure
abated. None of the residents of the sec
ton through which the trains pass have
called at police headquarters within the
past week in regard to the matter. Acting
on the information that an extremely bad
odor emanated from the garbage tanks the
MAYOR informed the local officials of the
railroad company that steps must be taken
to remedy the trouble. He believed it was
mainly due to the shifting of cars on the
streets of this city, and gave orders that
this must be stopped so far as it concerns
garbage cars. The observance of this nre
caution by the railroad COMPANY it is he
lieved. will avoid further difficulty.
General Matters.
Mr.. James Duncan has resigned his posi-
ton as yardmaster of the Southern rail-
road in this city to accept similar place
at Bloomington, ILL.,, with the Chicago
and Alton railroad He has been in the
employ of the Southern several years, and
his friends regret his departure

FELONIOUS ASSAULT
THE GRAVE CHARGE MADE
AGAINST JAMES MOODY.
Hearing Tuesday Next Before Justice
of the Peace of Alexandria
County, Va.

Justice E. f. Thompson of Alexandria
county this morning at the court house
issued a commitment for James Moody, on
the charge of feloniously assaulting with
intent TO MAIN, disfgure and kill Elvin j.
Marcy in Rosslyn August %. The COM
mitment is to stand until September 2 at 2
O'Clock pm, when the defendant will be
brought before Justice Thompson for pre-
liminary hearing. Moody already in
the county Jail, having been confined there
Tuesday after his arrest at his home by
Deputy Sheriff Harry Palmer.
Justice Thompson said this morning that
Marcy had not been injured as badly as
was reported. Mr.. Thompson saw him at
his home, near Ballston, last evening at
which time he appeared to be resting
easily. He was not paralyZed Mr.. Thomp-
son said, and talked freely about the
trouble in which he was a participant He
was suffering considerably from bad cut
on his forehead, which appeared to have
been inflicted by some blunt instrument
The wound was OF the nature of a contu-
sion. Marcy also had a severe wound on
the back of his head, which he thought was
inflicted when he fell from the force of the
first blow he received.
To Justice Thompson the injured man
stated that he was totally unaware of the
identity of his assailant. He said he was
In a saloon in RoSSlyn with several friends
and did not remember the circumstance
which Immediately preceded the assault.
He denied that he had had any quarrel
with Moody, and declined to connect him
IN any way with the affair. He said his
head was dashed violently against a slot
machine after being assaulted.
Did Not Ask for Warrant.
Justice Thompson said Moody had made
no request for a warrant against the
brother of Marcy, who, 1t was alleged, had
assaulted Moody short time after the row
il Rosslyn. Moody makes no complaint
against any one, but the injuries he now
bears show that he was severely handled
Commenting on the reluctance of Marcy
to prosecute the case against Moody. Com
monwealth Attorney Clements said this
morning that he intended to make a thor
ough examination into the matter with the
intention of bringing the guilty parties to
justice. He said he could not permit the
commission of murderous assaults in the
county pass unnoticed because of a failure
on the part of the injured parties to appear
against the accused.
Marcy is under Indictment for assault
ing soldier about a month ago, and his
trial in the Alexandria county court has
been set for the September term.

ENTERS A PROTEST
MR.. LANCASTER OBJECTS TO
TEMPORARY POLICE STATION.
Tenleytown Structure, He Says, Should
Be Permanent - Development
of Northwest Section

c. c. Lancaster, president of the North
west Suburban Citizens Association, has
written to the Commissioners protesting
against the erection of a temporary police
station in Tenleytown. The citizens want
a permanent structure. Mr.. Lancaster
SAYS:
by the act of March /. 1901. making ap-
preparations for the expenses of the Dis
trict for the fiscal year 1902 (31 Stats,
$50, our association secured, with the as
sistaEce of your department. an appropria-
ton of $1,000 for the purchase of a site
and erection of a temporary substation in
Tenleytown and vicinity We advised
that the police department has finally sue
ceeded in purchasing a large and most
eligible site in Tenleytown for this station
at cost of about $1,000. This leaves only
$1,000 for building; and we are reliably
informed that this amount is not sufficient
to erect a permanent stone or brick build
ing, and it is hardly sufficient to erect a
frame building. Our association has given
this important matter our careful consid-
Grafton, and we beg to advise you that we
are unanimously opposed to the erection of
any frame temporary structure for this sta
ton, and if your department cannot use
the money on hand for the beginning of a
brick or stone building we have to request
that you will hold up the said amount until
we can secure from Congress at the next
session an appropriation which. in our
judgment will be sufficient TO erect a per-
manent building, in accordance with the
policy of your department, and equal to the
public needs in the near future.
Rapid Development.
The northwest section is rapidly being
developed and we desire that this section
should be created into separate police
precinct to meet the needs of the service
and the public necessities, and we are now
satisfied that a temporary substaton will
not answer the needs of our section and
our people are unanimous in the erection
of a building which will compare favora bly,
act of June l, 1890, making appropriate
for the expenses of the District for the
hscdI year 1901. you asked and secured an
appropriation of $4,000 for the purchase of
a site for the erection of a station house
northwest of Florida avenue. We have ex-
amined this building, and desire that a sim
liar building be erected in Tenleytown; and
we feel confident that. with your assistance
we can secure sufficient money from Con-
gress at the coming session to. accomplish
this purpose. We believe that an additional
appropriation of $4,000 should be asked for
to complete this building in accordance
with the wishes of the people and the pub
lie requirements.
We therefore request that no further
action be taken by your department for the
erection of any temporary building and
that You VIII include in your estimates to
the next session of Congress an appropria-
ton of $4,000 for the completion of a police
station in Tenleytown. In furtherance of
TINS matter We pledge you our united sup
port to accomplish this purpose"
