WHEEL SUPERIOR TO HORSE
Little Interruption to Telegraphic
Comiiiuulrntion Through Lawless
ness of Individuals, A Satisfactory
"War HkIIooii Must Curry Threw- or
Four Passengers, Shells mid Gun.
Gen. A. W Grcely, clileC signal officer,
lias presented a particularly interesting
report to the Secretary of War. He
treats of bicycles, balloons, and telo
grajrta., scientifically and practically.
The report- contains some very very in
teresting things, us, for instance, the
following relating to the bicycle:
Interruption to telegraphic communica
tion lias been most infrequent during the
year. The most fiequeut cause of luter
ruptiou has been through lawlessness of in
divmuals In pulling down poles, shooting
off insululors, etc. The speedy resumption
of communication lias been due to a great
extent to the adoption of the bicycle as a
means of transportation for rci airmen, the
i-jorc miiiu as well a more economical
method of travel. Frequently breaks on a
line iiae been ier.au eu oj me use of ihe
uicycie in Jess lime ti'un would navo been
consumed in obtaining a liorse ami vehicle
-il &uiue siuiions in a Jtar me tr.gin.u
value ot the bitjele has been saved lo the
Government. Different types of bicycles
nave been selected for experimental
tesi witn a view to the tact that they must
curry ncavy loads over rough ground at
moderate speed. It is evident tiat no sin
gle tyjie will fulfill all tiie requirements
of a military wheel everywhere, owing
to ihuoivi.i . uuiHue conditions a iid varying
road conditions.
The suggestion of the following para
graph will probably be heeded as soon as
possible:
To insure speedy communication in case
of emergency, all important pests should
be connected witn the commercial system
either telepnonic-ally or telegraphically.
Wheie such means of commuiiicuiir.u uo
not exist uiey should be speedily ci.iist ruct
ed for emergencios, especially between
-tort Wa&nmgtou, Md., anil Washington,
D. C; Fort Warren and boston, Jlas.. AI
latraz Island and San Francisco, Cal.;
Fort Slocum and New York city.
The most notable advance is in the
de ekfjMiieui or the combined telegraph
and teleptioue apparatus devised by Capt.
James jUlen, fcigiial Corps, which is uis
linctly 8UHrkir to any previously con
structed, and admirably answers all re
quirements. An oiierator can easilv carry
a combination telegraph anu telephone ot
fjee, and while one soldier telegraphs a
message, another may, over the same
wire, talk tciepiionically with another sta
tion, the distant receiving operators hear
ing only their own message. The outfit
weighs but sixteen nounds. Inr-hiriinp- bns-
tery, aod lias been rigidly tested up to a !
uir4.aiu.-e 01 more man uuo miles, and in a
pronounced success in its various capacities
as a "buzz Horse, telephoulc.-and phono
plex instrument.
inK audiuou of a balloon section to field
telegraph train for the purpose of collect
ing and transmitting military information
brings into .-peel a! importance the question
or aerial navigation.
A satisfactory war balloon must carry
three or four passengers, explosive shells, a
machine gun or two, lie able to travel
thirty miW an hour in calm weather, and
have a lifting capacity of about 5,500
pounds, of wnich i,7U0 should oe in pas

AT THE HOTELS.
Former Congiessman Jsadore Stra -ss ot
leW iork ih in Washington trying to
recover from a severe onse or grip. He
has been in bed most of the time for nearly
a mouth and came over to "Washington a
lew days ago to recuperate. Congres
inaa Strauss did not vote this year, there

say anything. ' Mr. Strauss is at the Ar

The bookmakers and racing men are in
the city m full force, and made the lobbies
ot the hotels lively last night. There are
large delegations or tiie bookmakers at the
Shoreham and the Arlington.
Mr. Lee Crandall, who was one of the
foitunates who escaped from the wreck of
the Chesapeake and Ohio train, Thurs
day, was in the lobby or the Ebbitt House
last night, oelliugof his experience. "The
tram was going at a great rate of speed,"
lie said, "fjrty miles an hour, at least, at
tempting to make up time. I cannot con
ceive how so many jieople escaped. It
seemed to me, arter the terrible shock,
thai my car, the Washington sleeper, would
be crushed in uud all of us killed. I
was a very thankful man to get away so
little injured. When I had gotten out, for
some time we believed that the number
of deaths would be large. The scene was
one or fearful confusion, and we imagined
tliat underneath the cars were numerous
dead bodies.''
Mr. Frank O. "Walters, of Bangor, Me.,
Is in the city. He hopes to secure a con
sular appointment. Mr. Walters said to a
reporter for The Times last night at the
National Hotel: "There are any number
of abandoned mines scattered through
the mountains of Maine, besides the gr.od
ones that nre being Worked. It is an
easy matter to find gold In the Maine
hills. There is any quantity of it, but
usually in very small veins not worth be.
ing worked. Several of these old mines
have been opened up again since the Klon
dike fever struck the countrv, but I have
not heard of any great strikes being
made."
Col. Paul Thompson, or Memphis, Tenn.,
said to a reporter for The Times last
night at tbe Raleigh:
'We didu't see anything of the fever itself
at Memphis, but we Telt the effects cr
it badly enough. It would be a surprise
to an outsider who lias never experienced
anything of a siege of the epidemic now

ties, both local and national, enforce riid
regulations as to the transportation of
goods, as well as passengers. This has
meant this yar, although the deaths all
over the South have been very few, millions
of dollars' loss to the railroads am! river

It lias been almost a paralysis in some
lines of business. The statements of earn

The first few minutes of a fire is the
critical time ; a quarter of a minute is
worth saving. Millions may be lost in
that time. When anyone is sick every
instant is precious, particularly at the be
ginning before disease gets any headway.
When you first begin to feel " below
the mark " ; when you are not getting all
the strength you need out of your food,
when you are languid and indisposed, it
is time to try the toning, strengthening
effect of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery. It "extinguishes" disease
by making rich, healthy "blood, full of the
life-giving red corpuscles which drive out
disease and flood the vital organs with
fresh vitality.
Every disease which has its seat in the
blood is cured by this marvelous "Dis
covery" after all other remedies have
failed. Its effects seem little short of
J miraculous in curing obstinate, chronic
throat and bronchial difricultiesind even
consumption.
" Run-down " people, delicate women,
pale and puny children gain flesh,
strength, color and nerve force by using
this marvelous " Discovery." It does

Chtirles E. Simmons Accused of Set
ting Fire to the Btilkllnir ami
Placed Under Arrest.
The Baltimore and Ohio Hotel, at New
Jersey avenue and C streets northwest,
formuly Emrich's, was on fire last nighc,
and Charles C. Simmons, a discharged em
ploye, is held at No. 0 btation, charged
with having caused the blaze. His ar
rest on the charge of arson was the re
sult of a careful investigation of the case
made by Detective Hartigan.
It was about 0:20 last niguC when Mr
George Dutrow:, bookkeeper at tiie hotel
was standing on the landing on the third
floor after having made a lour of tiie
hotel to see that everything was in order.
He was talking to Mary .Martin, one ot
the colored chambermaids, when they de
tected the odor of smoke. A hurried in
vestigation or the rooms oiii the udra tioor
was maue, but witnout discovering tlie
origin until the chambermaid went to the
floor below.
m going through a narrow passageway
which leads back from a private diuing
100111, siie met feimmous coming out of a
room, which he had occupied while em
ployed at the hotel. Upon entering the
100111 which she had seen him vacate an
instant before, she discovered tlie bed
clothing on lire, in three places, und the
gas jet, burniug at full headway, pushed
tuck against tne wall, so that the paper
had also ignited.
1 he oeu cioctiiug in the room adjoining
was nl.so on file, and both rooms were
tilled to suffocation with smoke Tlie
erj of fire was raised, and at once there
was great exc.tement in the house, which
had upward ot Titty guests. Ex-Decective
Home aud Policeman Gordon, after turn
ing iu an alarm, rushed into the burning
rooms, aud after a Tew minutes' hard
work, assisted by the employes, succeeded
in extinguishing the flames.
Meanwnile SinimoiiB, wnilethe remainder
or the house was in uproar, had quietly
and unconcernedly walked down to tne
barroom aud ordered a drink. When it
was all over again, lie went upstairs and
entered a room of one of the clerks, in
stead ot going to the room which he had
occupied aud in which tlie fire was dis
covered. Detective Hartigan at once went
to work on the case, and Simmons, when
arrested, told a number or very conflicting
stories.
"Simmons was formerly assistant steward
at tiie hotel and worked in the lunch room.
He was discharged last Wednesday by Miss
Katie Schluterburg, the proprietress for
intoxloatlon, and is said to have declared
that he would take revenge. He had
been allowed to remain In the hotel until
he found other employment or should re
turn to his home in Charluttesvilie. Miss
Schluterburg was on her way home from
Baltimore at the time of the fire aud
reached the hotel a short time after it had
been extinguished. Owing to the prompt
action or Policemen Home and Gordon the
damage did not exceed 0.
