Fires at Conductor Following Trouble
Aboard Electric Car.


Passengers on one of the cars on the
Maryland division of the Washington Trac-
ton and Electric Company's line were wit
nesses to an exciting episode near River
dale at late hour last night. Two pistol
shots, it is alleged, were fired at Con-
ductor Kline, who had had trouble with a
passenger, but he was not injured. One
bullet, it is reported, struck a package of
transfers in his pocket, the transfers pre-
venting the infection of an injury, and the
other made hole through his coat. Pas
-sengers on the car became excited and
called for assistance, but the man who
fired the shots, it Is stated, disappeared.
1t Is alleged that Conductor Kline had
trouble with the passenger, because he OBJ
jected to the latter smoking in the car.
He also had a dispute with him about his
fare it Ia stated. and finally the passenger
left the car. He Is charged with having
then discharged his weapon.
A report of the affair was made at the
Office of the company, and, it is stated,
Kline went to Prince George county this
afternoon for the purpose of procuring a
warrant from Magistrate Burch for the ar
rest of the man, who is charged with hav-
ing done the Shooting. 1t is said he is a
resident of Prince George county.

Stolen Chickens in Possession.
When the report was made TO the. police
last night that coop of chickens had been
stolen from the store Of Samuel Winstoek,
14th and B streets northeast. colored Po-
liceman Giles was detailed to investigate.
Soon after he had started out he heard the
Growing of a rooster, and he concluded he
had a clue. Accompanied by Policeman
Wilson he jumped over rear fence and
began a search in the woodshed from
which the Growing was heard. Seated at
opposite ends of a chicken coop were two
colored men. Each had two chickens under
his arm and each was taking one more out,
in his turn.
The officers took the two men into GUS
tody. They gave their names as Joseph
Croton and Charles King. King put up $40
collateral for his appearance in the Police
Court this morning to answer charge OF
larceny but his absence resulted In the for
feiture of the collateral. Croton was tried
and after Policeman Giles had explained
how the growing of the cock announced the
presence of the lost fowls and how Croton
and King were caught with the chickens,
his honor imposed upon Croton sentencel
of SO fine or thirty days imprisonment,
and there was no chicken dinner for either
King or Croton.

New York, July 31.-The bodies of
two women with the marks of the
stranger on their Threats have been
found here within the last twelve
hours. Neither of the victims has
been identified.
One woman was found dead early
yesterday in an areaway on East
Ninetieth street. The marks of
thumb and forefnger were visible on
her throat. She was about twenty
seven years old. No one in the neigh
borhood heard sounds of a struggle.
The body of the other woman, also
the victim of a stranger, was found
last night in Twenty-second street
boarding house. A necktie had been
knotted tightly around her throat aud
she had been dead for several hours.
Police Are Baffled.
At late hour no arrests had been
made. Detectives have been hard at
work on the cases but have been I'M
able to find any traces of the murder
er or murders.
The police believe that both crimes
were committed by the same person,
as both bodies were mutilated in the
same manner.

Reeds mutilated remains from the

very high. Hildred, whose arrest pre-

captured.
There has been no adverse criticism
