INCREASED HIS HEIGHT.
Candidate for Policeman's Baton Was
Too Fat and Too Short.

Not only may S. II. Hutchins attain his
cherished ambition to become a member of
the Metropolitan police force, but, upon be-
ment an inestimable benefit In his own In
vention of system of rolling out the fat
policemen and making them lean and long
and speedy on their feet According to his
own statements Hutchins denied en-

partment because, when the examining
board set The gate" he could not squeeze
through. He brought up the subject again
In letter to the Commissioners, In
whicn lie said that the police board, when
ii examined him before. found he was only

1S5 pounds. the avoidupois involving ro-
tuildily about Hutchins' middle which was
regarded excessive, even for an embryo
policeman. Also he was one-half inch I'M

In his letter Hutchins states: IT have re-
duced my weight little so / am little

IN GREAT PERIL.
Driver and Team in Mix-Up With
Trolley Car.

damned between moving electric train
and trolley pole on the embankment APP
preaching the Virginia end of the Highway
bridge, a two-horse wagon driven by a
farmer named Skllman. whose home is in
Loudoun county, was smashed to pieces last
evening shortly after o'clock. Mr.. Skill
man escaped with few bruises and the
horses were also only slightly injured.
When the vehicle was demolished both
horses were released and the driver was
thrown to the ground.
The position in which Mr.. Skillman had
been placed was extremely perilous. His
horses, which had become frightened on the
bridge, started to run away and were al
most unmanageable They dashed from the
bridge to the roadway on the embankment.
which at that point slopes abruptly to the
river about twenty feet below. AS there is
no fence or railing on the side the team was
in imminent danger of tumbfing over the
edge at sharp curve a short distance from
the bridge. But just at the point where the
speeding vehicle, unarrested, would almost
certainly have gone over 1t crashed into a
trolley pole. Almost at the same moment
the other side of the wagon was struck
sidelong blow by projecting portion of the
southbound train which left Washington at
O'Clock on the Washington, Alexandria
and Mount Vernon road. The plunging
horses were thereby set free from the wreck
and dashed away. The driver who was
able to follow, succeeded in catching them
both some distance from the scene of the
accident
Mr.. Skillman's team was in a line of
hucksters' wagons proceeding across the
bridge. and had almost reached the south
ern abutment when the horses became
frightened, 1t is thought, at the noise of the
electric train coming up rapidly behind.
When 1t was seen that collision with Mr.
Skillmans wagon might occur Motorman
William Travers, who was In the cab, shut
off the power, applied the brakes and took
other measures to stop the car, but without
success. The speed, however was mate
rally reduced when the collision occurred.
1t Is pointed out that the accident, which
so narrowly escaped resulting In loss of
life, illustrates the need Of better facilities
at the approaches of the bridge for the pro-
lection of vehicles. To those who daily
travel over the bridge 1t has been a con-
slant source of wonder why some disaster
has not occurred before this

Kxtsnsivs Work Between RhilAdsl-

The Improvement work now in progress
on the Washington branch OF the Balti-
more and Ohio railroad IL completing the
extensive work between Washington and
Philadeiphia that was planned several
years ago. and which will make the line
or the very highest grade. With the conn
pletion OF these improvements. trains can
be run at very high speed. with absolute
safety. and the famous Blue Line service
will nowhere be excelled
New steel rails, one hundred pounds to
the yard. have been laid between Phila-
delphia and Baltimore in place Of the old
eighty-hve-pound rails and much work
has been done in using the same kind of
rails on the line from Baltimore to Wash

from Washington to New York will be of

condition by the use of new ballast and
good system of drainage has been estab-
lished to keep the track dry and in good
condition. Trenches have been dug where
ever the water would stand in the cuts.
soaking the ground and making the track
soggy. and terra Gotta culverts have been
put in. This makes a drain just as good
signal service has been installed SO that
trains can be run at high speed and under
absolute control all the time.
Then, for the purpose Of additionally
identifying the line and preventing dirt
from sliding on to the track, tho sides OF
cuts at Rives, Muirkirk, Jessup's, Loney g
Lane, Wasson6 and other places are being
cut down and given q very easy slope
AS the taking away OF the dirt is COM
pleted, the slopes will be covered with
street sweepings from Baltimore and
Washington, and grass seed will be sown
in the hope Of securing a good bed OF sod
These green covered slopes will practically
remove the danger of heavy rains washing
the earth down on the tracks. 1t Is also
the intention to complete the ballastine
on the Belt Line to Bay View and on the
freight tracks from Huntington avenue to
Henrietta street.
AS soon as the new union station and
big terminal work at Washington is COM
pleted 1t is likely that officers OF the road
will take up the question of reducing the
time Of the passenger trains between Bal
timore and Washington from forty-fve to
thfrty-ave minutes. 1t is contended that
this can easily be done by being able to
run right into the Washington station at
full speed over the new elevated tracks,
instead Of the present requirement to run
trains slow through the city over the
tracks that cross the streets at grade. 1t
is contemplated to make similar en-
trance to Baltimore in connection with the
Encouragement Of terminals and other very
extensive improvements. It is probable
however that this work will not be start
ed for several years, or until after the
work at Washington is completed. When
1t is done patrons Of the road may have a
thfrty-minute service between Baltimore
and Washington.
