MINISTER IN COLLISION
SUFFERS SEVERE INJURY
Rev. Walter Williams Knocked
From Bicycle by Capital
Traction Car.

Rev. Walter Williams, pastor Of the
Grace Episcopal Church of Georgetown,
is confined to his apartment at Hammond
Court suffering from fractured rib,
bruises about the body and shock as a
result Of a collision between a bicycle
which he was riding and street car at
26th street and Pennsylvania avenue
northwest yesterday afternoon.
Rev. Mr.. Williams left his apartment
shortly before 3 o'clock yesterday. on his
bicycle, to go down town. and started
east on Pennsylvania avenue. Just as
he reached the corner Of 26th street car
No. COZ OF the Capital Traction line ap-
preached from the north.
Fender Upsets Bicycle.
Believing that the car would turn and
proceed along Pennsylvania avenue, Mr..
Williams started across the car tracks
on his wheel, but the car, however,
started south along 26th street. The fen
der OF the car struck the bicycle.
The minister was thrown from his
wheel and fell upon the fender of the
car. The motorman brought the car to

UNLOADING SUNKEN BARGE.
After Completion Of Work the
Brandywine Will Be Raised.

The work of removing the 500 tons Of
hard coal from the sunken barge Brandy
wine. near the Long bridge. is progress
ing with considerable rapidity and al
eady a large portion of the coal has
been removed and placed on lighters TO
be taken to Georgetown. 1t is thought
that by the middle or end Of the present
week the entire cargo will be out of the
vessel, and the work of raising her to
the surface of the river can then be
started.
The masses of drift ice coming down
from the upper Potomac are interfering
TO some extent with the work, but unless
very hard freeze comes the wreckers
will be able to continue their work. Some
speculation is being indulged in as to the
extent OF the injury the barge received
when she ran into the heavy stone abut-
ment of the Long bridge.
The fact that she sank in a very few
minutes after the accident and before she
could be showed out upon the mud makes
1t almost certain that the collision made
a large opening in the hull Of the ves-
sci, and may necessftate the rebuilding
Of the entire bow OF the barge. The
Southern Transportation Company Of
Philadelphia is owner Of the Brandywine

BRIDGE TO BE STEADIED.
Bids Asked for Work of Stopping
Vibrations.

Calvert street bridge, across. Rock

up much or all of the apparent vibration
against which protests have been made.
Bids for the work will be opened at the
District building January 23 at pm
Although there has been discussion about
the advisability of doing this work. which
will cost the District about $4,000 and
the Capital Traction Company an equal
sum. it has been decided that the work
had better be done
Commissioner Judson said yesterday that
while there is no immediate danger an
parent, there is great vibration which
appears when pedestrians cross the
bridge, but which is not so apparent to
passengers in street cars The constant
vibration might loosen nuts, bolts and
other parts of the bridge.
Although not in sight at present, there
Is possibility of the Calvert street bridge
being rebuilt in a manner to conform
with the Connecticut avenue bridge which
crosses Rock creek not many feet to the
