Washington, June 21.-Charles d.

pital here from injuries sustained
while endeavoring to save passengers
from the deadly electric current of
broken feed wire.
The car, with others, had been
stopped where overhead repairs were
in progress on the Cabin John bridge
line. The passengers had left the cars
and were walking about. Two young
women approached too near the sput-
tering feed wire. Diver saw their dan
ger, leaped forward, brushed them
aside and with newspaper in his
hand, seized the wire. The current
hurled him back against his car and
his clothing burst into flames.
AS scores of people looked on, shud-
dering at the horrible spectacle of the
burning man, some one sprang for
ward and smothered the flames with
a coat. Diver then was lifted and
borne to the bank of the Potomac rlv-
er, where water was thrown upon him
and fruitless efforts made to bring
him back to consciousness. 1t was
long after he reached the hospital that
he became conscious. Then his wife.
who had been a mother only two
weeks and who had come to his side,
was told that there was little If any
chance of his recovery.

held their annual celebration of the

gan to gather in the hall soon after
seven O'Clock, and when the entertain
ment for the evening was begun the
room was completely filled, and
several of the men were standing in
the rear of the hall.
DIR. Bailey acted as master of GER
emonles, and one of the very best
programs that has been given in the
city was presented.
G. Il. Smith was chairman of the
program committee. and it Is evil
dence of his tastes and skill that the
program from start to finish was one
of merit and ability. The Rev. Mr..
Brooks gave very interesting and
instructive talk during the evening.
which elected appreciation from all
present.
While 1t Is true that every number
of the program was given in such
uniform good style. and met with un-
limited applause, II would not be wise
for the reporter to speak of the work
of any individual performer.
The refreshment committee came
up to their standard of excellence and
dainty banquet was served at the
close OF the program. 1t was the
intention of the committee In charge
TO have had few toasts given by
some of the well known orators of
the order present, but the combined
efforts of the refreshment committee,
and Brother John Hinton, made speak

for their homes, having had most
enjoyable evening, and wishing all
might have a New Years day much
