Mrs. Augusta L. Farnum, sixty-eight
mum, formerly of Langdon, D. c., was
instantly killed at Hyattsville, yester-
day afternoon by a special train on the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad carrying
Washingtonians to Laurel for the races
and fair.
The accident occurred about $40
o'clock, seventy-five yards north of the
Melrose avenue crossing. Mrs. Farnum
was on her way to the post-office, and
was attempting to cross the tracks on
Maryland avenue in front of the home
OF Mrs. Florence c. P. Cole, a cousin
with whom she had lived since the
death OF her husband last March. A
train had just gone into Washington,
and Mrs. Farnum, who was very deaf,
Il is stated. did not hear the train COM
Ing from the Capital. The lower part
of the body was mangled, while a deep
cause instant death. Mrs. Farnum left
atives in Litchfield, Conn, were noti-
fed, and the body probably will be
taken there for interment.
Would Fence Tracks.
Justice of the Peace John Gibson, act
ing coroner. held an inquest. with Alex
ander Sakers as foreman of the jury.
The latter returned a verdict exoner-
ating the railroad company from Blame.
and recommending that the company
fence its track from Melrose to Mary
land avenue on both sides for the pro-
lection OF the public.

STREET RAILROADS.
Congress to BE Asked to Determine
Their Value and Earning Power.

Their Value and Earning Power.
Fearing that the Washington street
railways may use the sentiments ex-
pressed at the recent Atlantic City rail-
road convention as an excuse for not
granting universal transfers, the Ia
koma Park Citizens Association last
night indorsed a resolution, presented by
]. A. LIE Clare, asking that Congress in
vestigate the valuation and earning
power Of street railway property in the
District. The Atlantic City convention
about a month ago declared in favor Of
an increase in passenger fares and for
the abolition # transfers.
Mr.. LIE Glare said that II committee
would investigate the value Of the prop
erty owned by the railroads and the
earning power on their capital stock the
attitude Of the companies would be
shown to be false.
The opening OF the Carnegie Library
was announced for November. and a
committee composed OF II. F. Taft,
chairman; Rev. 7. c. Clark, Messrs.
Lamond, Colcord, Platt, Martin, and
Kliffer. was elected to make the affair
a notable one for Takoma Park. Com
mittees were appointed for the ensuing
year.

FEAR TRADE LOSS
IN GEORGETOWN
Through Cars from Tennal-
lytOwn Not Wanted.
L0BECK BILL IS OPPOSED
Citizens Association Voices Senti-
ment of Merchants Who See In
LeEisIatiOn-Of1cer Reelected.
Thanks Expressed to Col. Cosby.

The movement for obtaining through
car service from Union Station to the
District line by way of Georgetown and
Tennallytown. which is being strongly
supported by several citizens associa-
tions, prominent among which is the
Northwest Washington Citizens Associa-
ton, will be vigorously opposed by the
Georgetown Citizens Association.
At special meeting of the last-named
organization last night in the Potomac
Savings Bank Hall, Wisconsin avenue and
NJ streets, a resolution was introduced
by B. A Bowles. opposing the bill intro
duced in Congress by Representative
Lobeck to compel the Georgetown and
Tennallytown Railway Company and the
Washington Railway and Electric Com
pany to arrange for through service over
their tracks from Union Station to the
District line.
Would Hurt Business.
Mr. BowIes said through service would
result in serious injury to the business
interests of Georgetown. Persons living
near Tennallytown probably would trade
in the city proper instead of Georgetown
as at present. Besides, he said, many
persons now make purchases in George
town while changing cars. This trade
would be lost II through cars are oper-
ated.
The resolution was referred to the
committee on legislation. Every one
present at the meeting. however, was
obviously in favor of the proposition.
The merchants had expressed their views
on the subject before, and felt that II
was not necessary to reiterate their
sentiments.
The meeting was called primarily for
the annual election of officers. The fol-
lowing were elected to serve for the
third consecutive time; Albion X
Paris, president; John Hadley Doyle,
first vice president: 7. Janney Brown,
second vice president: William NJ Dou-
gal, treasurer, and Frank P. Leetch, sec
retary.
Thanks to Col. Cosby.
A resolution was adopted, directing the
secretary to express 10 Col. Spencer
Cosby, Superintendent of Public Build
ings and Grounds, the appreciation Of the
association for recommending an appro-
priation OF $4,000 for the next fiscal year
for the improvement of Montrose Park.
Qualification was expressed over the con-
sideration which the Commissioners have
shown Georgetown during the last year.
MontroSe Park has been beautified; work
on the new bridge over Rock Creek at
Q street has been started; a new school
house has been established, and many
street repairs have been made.
1t was announced that Col. Cosby in
tends using every effort toward preserv-
ing the appearance OF an old estate at
Montrose Park. The historic mansion
viii be repaired. and the ancient oaks
on the property will be preserved

INCENDIARISM CHECKED.

Police OF the Ninth precinct are max
ing every effort to find a clew to the
white man who yesterday morning at
tempted TO set fire to the old Ivy City
schoolhouse in Northeast Washington.
Only the presence Of mind Of William
w. Carroll, of los Capitol avenue. Ivy
City, saved the building from destruc-
ton. Mr.. Carroll ran to the porch and
managed to beat out the fire before It
gained much headway. He was slightly
burned on the hands.
The police of the Fourth precinct sent
out a general alarm last night fer a
negro, who is suspected Of having set
fire to a vacant house at SIS Hammersley
court southwest: Fire was discovered
in the house shortly after o'clock last
night, and but for the quick arrival OF
the fire department apparatus the build
ing would have been destroyed. A negro
was seen running from the house shortly
before the discovery Of the blaze.
