HEAD IS DASHED;
WOOD SCATTERED
John Pitts, Countryman. Has
First Experience With
Street Car.

John Pitts, a countrymcn, whose home
Is about five miles from the city on the
Broad Street Road had his first expert
ence with a street car last night, and
now has a bad cash In his head as a
reminder for weeks to come.
Pitts was driving out Broad Street last
night about 1030 o'clock When opposite
the old Fair Grounds his wagon was
struck by car No. los, Motorman Frank
Strange, and himself thrown to the
ground.
The car came up behind him as he sat
doing on his load of wood, propped up
by @ bale of hay. Just as the two con-
veyances were opposite each other the
horse turned from the left hand track,
where there was safety to step right
upon the fender of the car which the mo-
torman was using all his power and all
that lent him by the brakes to stop.
When tho atmosphere cleared it was
found that the driver of the wagon was
lying on the ground bleeding profusely
from tho head wood was lying In mid
summer plentitude along the track and q
glass in tho vestibule had been shivered.
Tho horse was unhu1t.
The man was put on the car and taken
to the office at tho Reservoir. where he
was treated by DR.. Mclean, the COM
pany's physician, and later taken to the
Virginia Hospital. Mr.. Fits condition Is
serious, though no Is expected to recover.
So far as the doctor could learn last
night no bones were broken. at least no
limbs suffered seriously. Bruises were
pretty well scattered over his body.

Judging from Information received here
there Will in nll probability soon be n
Widespread movement throughout the

looking TO such an end has been set afoot

Richmond gentlemen, who have been
asked to lend their cooperation.
Mr.. Parsons, president of the Maritime
Association Of tho, Port of New York,

ter. Letters signed by Mr.. Parsons have
been addressed to trade organizations
throughout the country calling for action.

hind tho movement Is not known, except
that 1t Is stated that tlne increase would
operate to promote "the general welfare
OF the country"
One OF these letters has Just been re-
ceived by Mr., L. NJ. Darlington, president
OF tho Richmond Tobacco Trade. The
Trade Is interested in tho increase because
sailors there will be. and the more sailors,
the more tobacco chewed UP each year.
II is a simple calculation.
While a meeting Of the Trade has not
yet been called, Mr.. Darlington has COM
municated with several prominent MEM
bcrs, with view to learning their wishes
In the matter He said last night that
