A Brave Act Recalled,

BERLIN, March 13.-General Me-
thuen, who was British military at.
tache at Berlin from 1877 to 1881, made
many friends while here. Among the
stories related Of him is TINT upon one
occasion when he was going to the pal
ace to visit Emperor William 1. in 1881
he jumped into the Spree and saved
the life of a drowning child. The time
required to change his clothes made
him late at his audience with the en-
peror For this he apologized but did
not give the reason for the delay. A
few days LATER at n reception in the
palace the emperor drew the British
nttachc aside and pinned the Rescue
medal Oh the Lapel of his coat.

taking advantage of most favorable
opportunity, offered by philanthropic
citizen Of Washington. for acquiring 300
cords of oak wood at very low price.
1t, therefore, appeals to the citizens OF
Washington to contribute the funds to
make this purchase. Even if the coal
strike should terminate al an early date,
it is evident that it will be some time
tefore coal can be obtained in small
lots for the. use of needy fimilies.
The funds of the Citizens Relief Asso-

gently needed not only for the purchase
OF this fuel, but for continuing the re-

WRECK NEAR BENNING
Young Telegraph Operator Charged With Negeetng His
Duty and Causing the Collision.

| .'Why don't you remember, then p

Simply because l don't" he said.
| Rodgers reiterated he had not slep
while on duty. He later admitted seeing
| No. 8 go by, but was unable to say what
| signal was displayed in front of the
| tower. Rodgers testimony closed the
inquest.
The Jury deliberated almost an hour
It then returned verdict, which, after
declaring Perdue and Keys death due
to the collision. said:
I'VE, the said jury, believe that the
collision was due to the improper signal
at tower B. H., and accordingly we
hold the operator, Edmund P. Rodgers,
for the action of the grand jury
Coroner hewitt at once ordered Rodg-
ers held for the grand jury. and the oper-
ator was placed in Jail. A number
of friends of the young man have in
terested themselves in his behalf, and
determined effort may be made today
to secure his release on bond.
Rodgers is native OF Orange county
Va. and is said to come from an excel
lent family. He refuses positively to
allow friends to communicate with any
of his relatives. Representative Rixey
of Virginia, who is a friend of the young
man, has been appealed to for aid.
Flagman Dismissed.
John Donohue, the fagman of the
Pennsylvania train, VIZ ran back to
protect his train, and who was also ar
rested, was dismissed from custody. the
evidence showing that he had only done
his duty.
The remains of both Perdue and Keys
are still at the morgue. Both men were
residents of Richmond, Va. The local
police have notified their families of
their unfortunate death.
All trace of the wreck was quickly
removed by the railroad company's
wrecking crew, and the delay occasioned
by the collision was of but short dura-
tion.
