CARS CRASH; NOBODY HURT.
Bust-Up on Bridge Tracks of Great
Falls Line

Two cars of the Great Falls and Old
Dominion line collided this morning on the
Aqueduct bridge. smashing their vestibules
and shaking up the twenty or more pas
sengers who were aboard. Nobody was
injured.
One car had been standing near the
Rosslyn station and the other was motion
less on the bridge about fifty feet from the
Virginia end. Without warning. so the
officials say, the car near the station
started toward the bridge and struck the
other car before the motorman on the sec
ond one could back out of the way.
Passengers on both cars were excited
when the crash came. and some of them
left their seats with more than customary
haste.

Special Cablegram TO The Star
CASA BLANCA, September 1.-THE CAP
tive balloon that is being used by the
French for observing the positions of the
Moors having discovered a Moorish camp
of GOO tents at Teddert which is in the
hills about six miles from Casa Blanca a
French detachment marched out yesterday
morning shelled the camp. set fire to the
tents and dislodged the enemy, whose losses
were considerable. The French loss was
small.
The French marched out at @ In the
morning in two squares of six compa MES
each. with two batteries of field artillery,
four mountain guns. two mtrailleuses and
all the cavalry. Gen. Drude was in per-
sonal command
After series OF engagements with the
Arabs. who were not in great strength. the
force moved steadily toward Taddert. The
Red Kaid who behaved so calamity in
the attack on August p. again distinguish
ed himself.
Gathering few of his bravest men to-
gether he attacked the French right. But
the advance was DELAYED only few min
uteS.
When the tiraileurs reached the crest of
a ridge and looked down on Taddert and
the enemy's camp for the first time they
could hardly be restrained from shouting
for joy and throwing their caps into the
air. The advance checked at this
point to allow reinforcements from the
second line to come up. and then the whole
force swept forward over the low ground
The enemy made a show of resistance,
but the artillery shelled them from their
position. The Tiralleurs and the foreign
legion rushed the last crest. On an immense
plain lay the tents of the Arabs, who were
streaming out at the back, making for the
high ground in the rear.
Under the fire Of every gun that could be
brought to bear, again the infantry rushed
forward, this time among the tents. One
immense square was formed around the
tents which had Deen set on fire. and in
half an hour all that remained of Taddert
were heaps of smoking debris.
The amount of the French loss is uncer-
tain but it must have been extremely small,
for the men were spread out over huge
front The French probably will continue
to advance and try to prevent fresh con-
centration, for the enemy was too few In
numbers to regard the defeat as serious
one.

Yale University Wealthy.

According to the Yale Alumni Week
iy, the property of the university in
New Haven which is exempted from
taxation, is appraised at $9,431, $50, an
increase of $255,OOO over the apprais.
ed tax exemptions of last year. though
this increase does not necessarily rep
resent actual additional values sub
tracted from the New Haven grand
list. OF the total exemptions about
$1,370,000 belongs to the Sheffield Sci
entific School. The old campus, as
land, is valued at $1,033,400, and the
buildings on this campus at $2,4S3,500.
The appraisals are high on many of
the buildings, as compared to actual
cost. The valuations are placed, and
as they are exemptions there has
been no occasion to appeal for their
reduction.
