ANCHOR CAUGHT CABLE.
Schooner's Captain Goes Overheard
But Is Uninjured.

AS the anchor of the schooner Eugie,
Capt Meekins, was being raised off Fort
Washington yesterday. so that the YES
sci could take the towline of the tug Ca
milla to be brought to this city to dis
charge a cargo of lumber from the James
river, the anchor hooked one of the nu-
merous cables laid in the bed Of the river
off the fort, and brought it to the surface
hanging on one Of the .fiukes. In endeav-
oring to free the anchor Capt. Meekins
slipped and went into the water. He
hung onto the anchor, however, and
scrambled out uninjured except as to tenn
per, and after an hours work the cable
was loosened and dropped back into the
river. The schooner then came on to this
city, and is at Johnson & Winsatt' S
wharf to unload. The cable was not
damaged by being hauled to the surface
of the water.
The two-masted river schooner Belmont
while on her way out of OccOquan bay
early in the week with wood and pilng
aboard for Georgetown, ran ashore on
the mud flats in the bay and stuck hard
and fast. Several efforts were made by
her crew on high tides to float her. but she
remained stuck in the mud until Thurs
day night, when the tug Capt. Toby, from
this city, carried tow to Occoquan. See
ing the plight Of the vessel, Capt. Kintz
went to her aid, and after working on her
for some time succeeded in getting her
into deep water. The Belmont was I'M
hurt and is at Georgetown to unload

POST OFFICE DEBRIS SOLD.
Broken-Down Furnishings Are Dis
posed Of.

Dilapidated desks. wobbly cases of pig
eonholes. worn and ragged carpets and a
heterogeneous mass of miscellaneous junk
excited an assemblage of probably 300
persons to active bidding at the Post Of
five Department junk sale on 18th street
yesterday.
The only real bone of contention seemed
to be g. shell of an old oak desk, with a
roller top and no insides. A handsome
young miss planted herself in front of it
at an early hour with look of grim de-
termination in her face, and she fingered
until the auctioneer knocked it down to
the successful bidder.
The presence of the young woman
seemed to attract a group of competitors,
mostly masculine, who helped make the
auction lively for a few minutes.
Nothing of much worth was sold Prices
realized, while good perhaps for the arti-
cles disposed of, will not materially re-
duce the postal deficit the current fiscal
year.

BAD ROADS IN FRONT
OF RICHMOND TOURISTS
Washington Autoists Making
Their Way on Last Lap Un-
der Unfav0rabIe Conditions.

After enjoying a good nights rest fol-
lowing strenuous days run over good
and bad roads to Stanton, Va. the con-
testants in the Washington Post tour left
early this morning and are now vending
their way to Richmond. Va, a distance
Of 127 miles from Staunton. The road
conditions were worse than on the first
days run. owing to the recent heavy
rains in the Old Dominion
Yesterday proved a disastrous day for
several of the drivers, resulting in the
penalization of their cars. The roads
were found in a better condition than
was expected, although deep mud holes
were found frequent between Washing
ton and the Shenandoah river, at Cas-
tlemans Ferry. The first driver to come
to grief was Stanley Mortimer, driving
Buick car No. 10. the Oil sight feed
loosening a few miles outside of Lees
burg, Va, which he was compelled to
tighten before proceeding.

front axle, which was discovered to have
had a flaw in it. causing it to snap w.
D. Arrison, at the wheel of Washington
car No. g. was following close behind
Halstead, and in order to prevent a
collision stalled the motor Of his car for
which he was penalized one point.
A new axle was shipped to Halstead
and he will arrive with the contestants
this evening, although he will probably
be heavily penalized for time taken to
replace the axle.
Ward Angle. driving Buick No. H. was
also penalized one point due to the fall
ure of the pipe connection to remain
tight with the Oil sight feed. Heavy road
conditions during a portion of the first
days run resulted In the baby Maxwell
No. 8 being penalized three points.
The perfect-score cars include Harry

NEW WHARF IN SERVICE.
Business Men Near Indian Head
Given Increased Facilities.

The new wharf, which was built on the
north bank Of Mattawoman creek, Nd,
short distance away from Indian Head,
for Frank E. Mattingly of Indian Head,
is completed and in service and the
little steamer Trenton, belonging to the
Potomac Navigation Company. will make
three trips from this city to that wharf
each week. The wharf was built for the
convenience of the merchants and resi-
dents of the Indian Head neighborhood,
who have heretofore been served from
Glymont. and it is stated that it will
save them a haul of several miles and
considerable time. 1t is expected that
freight now going to Glymont will be
diverted to the new wharf.
The opening of the new landing gives
the residents of the Indian Head neigh
borhood as good service as is had by
most OF the landing on the Potomac.
