Hedley, general manager of the Inter
borough Company, showed party of
newspaper men and photographers the
completed new Lenox avenue division of
the Interborough Company's subway.

A noticeable feature of the trip was the
GOODNESS of the tunnel-a contrast to
the close air in the other subway now
in use. dts a most simple matter,
said Contractor Mclean, when he under
took the work. 'I'm going to build

EScaDed Drowning.

Mr. Nathan WoIberg, well-known
travelling salesman, who resides in this
city. had thrilling experience near Ac-
cotink, Fairfax county, yesterday morn
ing. Mr.. Woilberg was driving through
the country in One-hOrse vehicle.
Upon reaching AccOtink creek he at
tempted to ford it Notwithstanding ITS
swollen condition. When he arrived in
midstream, however, the horse was struck
in the side by floating log and instant
" became unmanageable. Mr.. Wolf
berg made every effort to guide the ami
NAL to the opposite shore, but the cur
rent was too swift and both he and the
team were swept down stream. People
ON shore soon realized the seriousness OF
the situation and ropes were secured and
thrown to the rescue of the occupant OF
the vehicle. Mr.. Wolberg was pulled
ashore in safety, and later the horse and
vehicle were landed.

Steamboat Hands Scarce.

The steamboat companies are having
trouble in obtaining men as deck
hands on the boats running on the
Potomac. Although good wages are
paid and the men are fed on the steamers,
they will ship. make trip and then de-
mand to be paid for the time they have
made, leaving the steamboat in the
llrch. The steamers often leave port
with hardly men enough to handle
freight, and the hands often leave the boat
down the river, especially if they come
from lower Maryland or Virginia and
have friends in the country. The ad-
visibility of doing away with coiored
hands altogether and employing foreign
ers on the steamers is being seriously
considered.

Electric Railroad to AIdie.

Another company, with ex-U. 5.
Senator Henderson at head, has been
organized for the purpose of building
an electric road from Washington to
Aide. That a line from Washington,
via Fairfax, to The Blue Ridge noun
tains would prove profitable TO the pro-
motors aud beneficial to the territory
through which il would pass does not adj
nit OF doubt. 1t would penetrate q
territory of surprising richness and ter
tility, the developm snt OF which has
scarcely begun, but which wonld De
wonderfully stimulated by such an en-
terprise. Such road will be built al
ter awhile, but we fear there il nothing
in the present outlook to Justify excess
siye confidence in itsimmediate conslruc-
ton. - Fairfax Herald.

A Correction.

The statement 10 Wednesdays Gazette
TO the effect that a baby had fallen from
the steamer PocahOutas on Der way up
the river from Colonial Beach Tuesday
night turns out to have been incorrect,
although parties living in this city who
were on the steamer stated upon their ar
rival here that a two-year-old child was
missing shortly after the boat left the
beach, and it was supposed that it had
fallen overheard and drowned. Inc
frantic mother, they averred, was search
ing for the missing child. She doubtless
found it later, but failed to make this
fact known to those to whom she at first
expressed her apprehensiOns.

Oppose Bible in Schools.

The committee on sectarianism in
Cleveland, Ohio, which has for its pur-
pose the investigation of the extent Of
Bible reading in public schools, submit
ted its report yesterday. After giving
the reason for combating such reading,
it emphatically recommends that con-
certed action should be taken by rabbis

from the public schools.
After general discussion, the report
was conquered in and an appeal will be
made to the American Jews to enable
rabbis to appeal to the highest courts if
necessary to determine the constitution
atty of Bible reading in the public
schools system.
