Commissioner West Talks About Con-
gress Heights Complaint.

When asked about the complaints of the
citizens of Congress Heights concerning the
street car service over Anacostia bridge,
Commissioner West said:
Il sympathize greatly with the people Of
Anacostia. l have done and am doing
everything in my power to help them out
In their trouble. 1t is impossible, however,
TO increase the load carried by the cars
crossing the old Anacostia bridge. Both
the Engineer Commissioner and the superin-
tendent of bridges have reported that a
load of forty passengers is the limit of safe
ty, and the Commissioners would very
properly be held responsible, If, by increas-
ing the load, a fatal accident should re-
suit.
The present conditions are largely
caused by the existence OF two parks in
Anacostia, which attract very large
number of colored people. In accordance
with my directions these parks have been
the subject Of police investigation, but the
reports show that they cannot be prose-
cuted as nuisances; in addition to which
a canvass Of the people living in the
vicinity Of the parks has resulted in an
almost universal statement that the pleas

tate corporation organized under the laws
Of the District Of Columbia, today. by Ator-

the District Supreme Court for leave TO

The reason assigned for the desired change
Is that Joseph r. Atkinson. one of its in
corporators. is no longer connected with the
company and the name II is claimed leads
TO coafusion as TO the identity of the COM

Cliff Island

Summer Is fast moving on towards
the height of the season and Judging
from the number Of tourists now So
5ourning at the Maine coast the in
dications are that a very large con-
tingent of pleasure seekers hare drift
ed to this locality. Rarely have the
island hotels been SO crowded as at
the present time. The cottages with
few exceptions are occupied. Several
Boston parties were on this island on
Saturday, looking for cottage accom-
modations for the remainder of the
season.
Mrs. Fred McArdle and little daugh-
ter, who have been occupying the
johnson cottage the past two weeks.
returned to their home in Boston on
Thursday. Mrs. Weston and Miss
Weston, mother and sister of Mrs. Nc
Ardle, who have been here for a
short stay, accompanied her to Boston.
. The Misses Bennett of Boston are
summersng here for an extended So
journ and occupying SHADY Nook,"

Considerable agitation is being
aroused here among the summer Wis
itors and island residents over the un-
safe condition OF the wharf at the
western end OF the island, and steps
are to be taken to bring the matter
before the notice of the city council,
asking them to give II their personal
attention. When the Machigonne
steamer Of the Harpswell line makes
a landing here, the entire wharf
shakes and trembles as to make one
standing upon 1t feel that II Is about
to go to pieces. This wharf has been
built about ten years. and since that
time has sunken considerably in the
centre Of the structure, being built
upon piles sunk in beds of rock and
sand. The rotting Of these piles has
been the cause of the bed becoming
sunken, thus making the flooring most
unsafe. The wharf is owned by the
city Of Portland, and the islanders
want the assurance that the wharf will
soon be put in a safe condition, now
that the proper authorities have had
their attention repeatedly called to
the present unsafeness of the wharf

THE DULLtS( OF DAYS
 IN THE SHOCK MARKET
Copper Higher Abroad But Still
 Further Decline on This Side.

New York, oct. 3.-Dealing in stocks was the smallest of any day thus far this year and the discouraged commis- sion brokers express small hope of any early betterment of conditions. Public interest seems non n-existent and the sluggish drift of prices today repre- scented nothing more than the maneu- vers of the small professional traders to feel the market. Stocks are in scanty supply however.
 The market does not call for extend- ed comment. There was a sharp re- bound in London in the price of cop per. and some benefit accrued to cop per securities there, but in New York the metal was lowered in quantities on the metal exchange once more. More than one-third of the days scanty total stock sales was completed in the first hour. Stagnation over came the late market completely.

The Southern Pacific has just placed 300 new cars in service in this section but the name Associated Oil Companies" has been painted on all of them. indicating that the railroad will not distribute them generally. but has given the entire control of their shipping facilities to the Associated.

OF Interest to Newspaper Patrons.


On Monday there was case in JUS
tice Cuttings court which we deem
worthy of mention, not with view
of giving publicity to what might be
called private business affair, but
for the instruction and information of
the newspaper patrons who think that
they can continue to receive, read and
obtain the benefits of paper for a
time either long or short and evade
payment for same. The case was one
brought against julius Doolittle by
Mrs Adams, former publisher of the
Times. who claimed $40 due her on
subscription account for IL years, one
year of which had been paid. Mr..
Doolittle set up the claim that he
never subscribed for the Times. but
that soon after the paper was bought
by Mr.. and Mrs. Adams, his father
on his own motion, paid dollar for
one years subscription to his address,
and that the paper was continued
hereafter without authority. He ad-
mitted that he had taken the paper
from the postoffice and received it's
benefits. Trial was had to a jury
which took but little time to render a
verdict giving Mrs. Adams Judgment
for the full amount of her claim with
interest and costs. -Cresco P. d.

{ Miraculous Escape.

A fireman on this division had an
almost miraculous escape from death
while loading the tender of his enigne
at Fort Atkinson last Friday. The
bin from which he loaded his tender
contained nearly five tons of coal and
just as he pulled the rope which opens
the slide in the bin he missed his
footing and fell into the tender, the
whole load of coal falling upon him.
Either through good luck or pres
ence of mind, he lit on his feet and
kept them during the avalanche of
coal and when the engineer, who saw
the accident, reached him, he was
buried to his chin in coal. 1t took
over an hour to dig him out and it
was then found that he had not even
sustained any serious injury or bruises.
1t sure was narrow escape from be-
ing buried alive. -I4awler Dispatch.

The Crime of Crane.

Tom Crane and E. Meek. neighbors
living near Powersville. came to
town Monday, and from evidence
given at the trial yesterday before
Justice Bradley's court, Crane got
next to John Barleycorn and in riding
home that night in the same wagon
together. ne suddenly drew a revol-
yer and fired at his companion. the
bullet making flesh wound on the
right temple, Meek falling from the
wagon, who alleges that Crane fired
the second shot at him. Recovering
from the shock, he got up and walked
home, and shortly afterwards Crane
drove up and wanted to pick quarrel
with Mrs. Meek. His conduct became
such that Mr.. Churchill and some
other carpenters engaged in building
house for Meek took him in charge
and brought him to town where he
was delivered to Sheriff Shermerhorn.
After the preliminary examination
of Meek. Attorney Lingenfelder. for
the defendant, waived further exami-
nation, and Crane was held under
bonds of $500 for his appearance be-
fore the grand jury. Charles City
Herald.
