FINED FOR ASSAULT.
Colored Man Convicted Of Choking
Mrs. E. O. Dultn.

While proceeding along D street between
"a and Sd streets northwest on her way TO
market last Saturday evening. Mrs. Ella c..
Dulin, an elderly woman, was brutally at
tackled by colored man and choked.
William Moore, colored, was arrested for
the assault by Patrolman Armstrong and
Detective Vermillion Of the sixth precinct.
He was a defendant in the Police Court
this morning, and Judge Mills Imposed q
sentence of SO or thirty days in Jail.
Mrs Dulin was apparently suffering the
effects at the attack when she appeared in

her to the court house and Deputy Marshal
Lacey assisted her onto the stand when the
case was called. She told Of the attack In q
fa1tering voice.
Mrs Dulin left her home at I'd and D
streets to go to the Center Market shortly
before 7 o'clock, she said and was walking
along D street, when a colored man jumped
from behind tree on the parking. He was
unseen by her, she said, until he leaped in
front of her. He held out his hand and
grasped her throat. By instinct, she says,
she drew back and in that action prevented
the colored man from grasping her throat
tightly. Several persons appeared in view
in the locality then and the colored man ran
away.
The police were at once notified of the as
sauit and they made a search for the assail-
ant. Mrs. Dulin was assisted to her home
by friends. Moore was found In the house
at 21S D street crouching in the corner of q
dark room, and 1t was developed that he

Night Cooking Schools.

To the Editor OF The Star:
If possible all of the manual training
cooking and sewing schools and business
high schools should be kept open at night
for the benefit of students who are obliged
to work for wages during the day. All
girls should be taught cooking and sewing
Bad cooking is the most common cause of
divorce. The census office is compiling
statistics as to the causes of divorce. The
court records show the excuses and pre-
texts, but seldom the real causes of divorce.
The real cause of divorce is seldom known,
even to the lawyers in the case. The most
common of the real causes are bad cooking
and bad housekeeping. The husband flies
the coop" in disgust. The wife hunts g.
statutory excuse to get alimony along with
divorce. Then the census bureau punches
another card from which false conclusions
are drawn by the eminent sociologist.
If opened at night the cooking schools
would qualify more girls to capture a good
husband, and (most important of alb every
household would have a better chance to
capture good cook.

DERAILMENTOF ENGINE
ACCIDENT CAUSED By OPEN
SWITCH THIS MORNING.

An open switch is blamed for an accident
that occurred on the tracks Of the Balti.
more and Ohio railroad near 1St and X
streets this morning about o'clock. The
accident resulted in derailing the engine
and tender and tearing up the tracks for
a short distance. Engine 2122, one OF the
recently constructed heavy vehicles OF the
Baltimore and Ohio Company, was draw
ing a train Of passenger cars Just north OF
X street in order to place the train upon
the ''Y" and head It toward Baltimore On
the train were many persons from the
west, some Of them on their way east for
the first time, and they were anxiously
looking to get a view Of the new union
station. when they suddenly realized that
there was something wrong with the train.
Before any Of them had time to jump from
the cars the train came to stop.
The damage proved to be serious and
there was apparently not the slightest pos
sibilty of the train being moved ahead for
several hours. The passengers were &C
cordingly transferred to coaches south OF
the scene of the accident to be afterward
brought into the station. 1t was stated that
the switch works automatically
Not Always in Working Order.
1.-THE switch has not always worked au-
tomatically." remarked man in the crowd,
land II has been reported number Of
times
The young man also called attention
to the decayed condition of some of the
ties that had been cut by the wheels of
the heavy locomotive. The track had been
torn up for a distance of about 100 feet
and the rails had spread. After leaving
the track the engine went upon the K
street crossing and came near topping
over. causing severance from the tender.
Wheels on the left side of the tender-went
deep into the earth, and it was necessary
for wreckers from Baltimore to come over
with their heavy machinery to remove the
obstruction. While the local wrecking crew
worked upon the engine. force of men
Were engaged upon the work of putting in
new ties and getting the track in condi-
ton for use soon as possible.
Engineer Graham, who was in charge Of
the engine drawing the Cincinnati express,
remained at his post, did Fireman
Barnes There was no way in which they
1t was stated, and all they could do was
to endeavor to prevent much damage
as possible.
AS soon as the engineer saw that the
passengers were safe he attended to the
machinery and had the fires drawn. Con-
ductor Landon was off the train the instant
he realized that an accident had occurred
and looked after the passengers, some Of
whom had been severely shaken up, but
none injured.
Officials of the railroad company visited
the scene of the accident and made an In
vestigation. They said that the sliding Of
the switch was responsible for the mis-
hap. Traffic on the Metropolitan branch of
the road was suspended for several hours,
passengers on incoming trains having to
leave the trains north OF the wreck.
