suffering terribly from heat, and his

A couple Of gentlemen from the
city who were hunting north of the
city Wednesday, when about a cou-
pie Of miles out observed a pair of
horses hitched TO a big wagon. The
wagon was rapidly filling up with
men, women and children. One of
the men Intercepted the Nimrods as
to the condition of the roads and then
asked IL the circus had arrived,
There was vast disappointment when
the information was vouchsafed that
the circus had someway failed to ar
rive. The people lived within a few
rods of zoe railway and knew that nc
trains were running, but it had never
occurred to them that by any posi-
bility the circus could miss connec

on the Chevy Chase branch of the Capital
Traction railway the night of the 3D. in
slant Several days after the accident
charge of not having signal lights attached
to each end of his car was flied against
Glenn NJ Capper. conductor in charge OF
the damaged train.
The cas< was heard in the District
branch of the Police Court and was dis
missed by Judge O'Neal. who held that the
lights on the inside OF the car were suffi-
cent. providing they could be seen from
the outside A charge was then ned
against John II. James. motorTnan OF tue
train which collided with the one under
Capper's care. He was charged with oper-
ating a car within 100 feet of a preceding
car moving on the same track. AT the re-
quest of Attorney Frank j. Wissner. coun-
sci for James, hearing of the case was
postponed until today.
When the matter was called before Judge
O'Neal today, James. on advice OF his coun-
sell pleaded not guilty to the charge. In
addition to Policeman Law. on whose COM
plant the charge was filed, Miss Catherine
Duffy. who was a passenger on James car
the night of the accident and Conductor
Capper were called witnesses for the
government. The defense did not ind II

three squares. In reply to a question from
Attorney Wissnar. Miss Duffy said that
lanes started to apply his brakes when
he was about square behind Cappers
train. Her testimony ended at this point.
Conductor Capper and Policeman LAWS
threw no additional light on the matter
Attorney wissner at this point asked that
his client be discharged on the ground that
the car preceding his was standing sun. az
sbovn by the evidence. He pointed QUIZ
that his client was charged with operating

in the same direction. Such. he said. had
