The track was cleared several hours
later. No one was injured.
Another interruption in the running
of trains occurred yesterday as the re-
suit of the derailment of several freight
cars at Calverton. A wrecking train

Runaway Train.

The south bound passenger train of
the MISREPRESENTATION Railway
which leaves this city at 1855 a. m.
caused some excitement yesterday on
Fayette street through which thorough
fare it dashed at high rate of speed
before it was stopped at Duke street.
1t passed the depot at Cameron street
without slackening speed, and apparently
with no intention of taking the waiting
passengers aboard. Officer Griffin was
on hand and ran to Duke street bent
on arresting the conductor and engineer
for violating the city ordinance pro-
viding for speed of five miles an hour Tor
trains within the corporate limits, but
when Engineer James Davis, former
Alexandrian, showed that the air brakes
failed to work Mr.. Griffin allowed the
train to back to the depot, take on the
passengers and mail and proceed to
Richmond.

The Howard Cassard Again.

The steamship Howard Cassard, which
was built in Baltimore by r. NJ. Fryer,
many years ago, and planned to cross the
Atlantic in four days, has been abandoned,
and United States Marshal Robinson, OF
Philadelphia, will sell the vessel on
Wednesday next for wharfage. Most of
the capital necessary for the construction
of the steamei was supplied in Baltimore,
and her failure was disastrous financially
to those most interested. She was a
narrow beam craft, and on account of her
peculiar construction turned turtle
when an effort was made to start ner.
An attempt was made to remedy the de-
feet, but the steamer never gave any
promise of being a success. After drift
ing about from one city to another the
Howard Cassard was tied up to wharf
in Essington in 1899, where she
has remained ever since. Her wharf
age accumulated, and, as the ex-
pectations first placed in her never gave
any promise of being realized, the craft
was abandoned to the government.
Il lie OdSSdTu Wis VIC OueSVihO VI ehS al
row Steamship scheme which attractC d
so much interest in Alexandria in the
early part of the year 1887. Robert M.
Fryer was the chief spirit in the organi-
cation and for several months it was be-
lieved the company was to build steam
ship $40 feet long at the shipyard in
this city. She was to be called the
Pocahontas. Extraordinary claims Of
speed for the new snip were made, as
well as assertions of its non-sinkable
qualities. 1t was, however, manifested
that the steamer was to exist only on
paper. and the 'Pocahontas selr' has
become chapter in the history of Alex
andria. Later the company built the
Howard Cassard in Baltimore. She was
much smaller than the proposed Poca-
hontas, but was designed to demonstrate
the practicability of the original designs.
She proved a failure, was brought to
Alexandria and finally sold at auction
to Mr.. FRANKIE, of Baltimore. The last
scene of all in her uneventful history
will close next Wednesday, as stated
above.

Difficulty in Getting Coal.

4 few days aon, twill be remembered,
officials of the electric railway made
feferal requests of Mayor Simpson that
they be allowed to run coal through this
city after dark for use at the powerhouse
at New Alexandria The requests were
refused. Of late, however, the mayor
has been informed that coal was passing
over the road at night in motor car No.
40 and that ties and other material were
placed on the sides of the car with the
object of hiding the coal from the police
officers. This morning Officer Hender-
son boarded the car at King and Royal
streets and seeing it contained coal re-
fused to allow it to proceed without an
order from the Mayor. Mr.. j. K. Swartz,
of the electric railway sought the Mayor
for the purpose Of having an interview
with him on the subject, and upon meet
ing his honor told him that it was neces-
sary to have the coal in order to operate
the southern section of the road,
and asked him if it was his purpose to
tie-up the road. The Mayer told him it
was immaterial to him if the operations
OF the road ceased from Spring Park to
Mount Vernon, that he was determined
to enforce his order and that no coal
could be carried through the streets of
this city on motors, or any other class
of cars during the night or day. Mr..
Swartz ayerred that the company had
no other way to get coal to New Alex
andria, when the Mayor informed him
that there were three routes by which
such a result could be accomplished
by connecting the electric railway track
with that of the Southern Railway at
Royal and South streets, by construct
ing connecting track with the South
ern at Royal and Wilkes streets, or by
barges up Hunting creek to the power
house. The police have been III
structed to intercept all suspicious
looking cars which may pass through |
the city during the day and night. His
honor, however, concluded to allow the
car stopped by Officer Henderson to
proceed inasmuch as it had reached
King and Royal streets. The Mayor
expresses his opinion freely of the rail
road authorities for not repaving with
cobblestones King street, between ST.
Asaph and Columbus, as he says they
promised to do while waiting for the ar
rival of diamond switch.

One Newspapers influence.

An expert in advertising says it is a
mistake for small concerns to refrain
from advertising because of the cost of
space in several newspapers. Gin every
community there is one newspaper with
reasonable rates which covers the field
so well that the use of others is not es-
sential to successful publicity. - Phila-

High Winds in the Bay.

The Norfolk steamer which left here
Saturday night and the boat which left
Norfolk for this port about the same
hour had thrilling experiences in Chesa-
peake bay later in the night. A sixty
mile gale prevailed and the seas ran
high. Both steamers, however, are
staunch and they rode the waves like
ducks. Nodamage resulted and the boats
reached their destinations only slightly
behind time. There was high wind
in the bay last night, but it was by no
means as severe as that of Saturday
night.
