Miller’ subsequently died on bis way to the hospital. 'T. W. Jones, chief clerk of the Postal car; C, T. Stewart and J, T. Frane, postal clerks; and A.

THE CARS ON FIRE. Some of the forward freight cars took fire when the collision occurred, and the flames spread rapidly through the train, making e bright conflagration, the light of which was visible from this city. Twenty-seven of the freight cars, with their contents, were thus de- stroyed. The railroad employes and some of the passengers atterapted to check the flam but their efforts were unavailing. The wound men were taken Into the house af Thomas a lor, joining the tunnel,which was improvised into a hospital. ‘A RELIEF TRAIN, At1o‘clock a relief train arrived from Alex- andria, bringing Drs, Snowden and Klepstein. Dr. Powell, of Alexandria, Drs. Lesch and Crook of this city, went down to scene of the accident from this tity. These physiciuns at once devoted }homselves to relieving the sufferings of the tn- red men. Several of the male passengers ‘after the accident, took their Tallies dng walked the rest of their journey to this city. wreck- ing train was sent from this city about mid- night, and men were at work all night clearing away the debris. THE SCENE AT THE TUXNEL immediately after the collision was almost in- describable. The passengers were in great fright’and confusion, and it was sometime be- fore, they fully realized thetr situation. The body of ‘Augur, the conductor of the ee train, was cut out from under one of the for- ward freight cars. He was riding on the engine at the time of the accident. Mr, H. H. Carter, the superintendent of the . WB, B. & P. & A. K., arrived about By o'clock this morning at the scene, where Mr. paReD, was already at work with a wreck force, and to-day there isa large force engaged in re- moving the debris. The Midland train north was some 10 or 15 minutes late, and should have reached here at 10:25. THE FREIGHT TRAIN Tet here at 9:50 o'clock. It comprised two tanks of oil, which took fire and exploded, spreading the burning fluid for some distance above and below. Engines were sent from here and Alexandria,and some of the cars were pulled outof danger. At the same timeasteam fire engine was brought up from Alexandria and worked on the burning cars tili the flames were extinguished, Mr. Carter places the loss, if the enzines are not much damaged, though they appear to be, at $15,000 or $20,000. UNABLE TO TELL WHERE THE BLAME RESTS, There are two tracks between thiscity and Alexandria, but the tunnel being narrow the tracks overlap each other in it. There are guantlets on each side as well as automatic sig- nals, and besides all trains have orders to ap proach the tunnel under fullcontrol. The sig- nals have heretofore been prompt in working. As soon as a train reached one signal the other signal on the other side of the tunnel rned and showed danger to any approaching train. It is thought that these signals were in working order atthe time. All who could throw any hton this matter are dead or so badly in- Jured that it 1s impossible to ascertain the facts ‘nt present. Conductor Augur, who was killed, lived at the corner of 9th and D streets southwest, in this city. Mr, Miller resided on 9th street, be- tween D and E. Engineer Freer, who was killed, hved on F street, between 9ib and 10th, As fur as known none of the passengers were seriously h An old lady, a Mrs. McAlpine, en route from North Carolina to visit friends in.

Anotber pi peer had his head badly cut. There were, ail told, 17 freight cars destroyed, and so flerce was the fire that some of the Iron. was literally melted. ‘There were but portions of some of the bodies found. Of course the wreck prevented the running of trains, and transfers had to be made between the cars around the wreck. The crowds of visitors frum Alexandria interfered considerably with the work of clearing away the wreck. (he through trains, as also the W. and O. nes rf. ors were transierred at the scene of the wreck, but for the present the local trains are diss tinued, The bodies found were removed to Wheatly's, in Alexandria. It is reported that the cars on the train had considerable ofl in barrels, besides that in tanks, A LARGE SUM OF MONEY SAID TO HAVE BEEN DESTROYED, The safe of Adams express company 1s be- lieved to have contained quite a large lot of money—some say over $100,000, which is destroyed, FIREMAN MALONEY'S BODY RECOVERED. ‘The body of Mr. Thos. Maloney, treman, was found this afternoon under the fire box. There is this afternoon a reasonable hope that: Mr. Bruce, the engineer of the Midland train, will recover, ‘The following were in the mail car: T, W. Jones, in charge, had his head cut badly and body ‘bruised; C.'"T. Stewart, arm broken by a fruck and internally injured; W. B. McNeal, burned on the stove; Thos. Gayler, hurt about the head: 3. T. Fravsey (col), elightly hurt. ‘The tracks will be cleared’ by 5 o'clock and the trains willbe run as usual. Some of the tles were found so burnt that they had to be re- placed. There was about 750 feet of track ne- cessary to be rebuilt, MAILS DESTROYED. Postmaster Conger has received information that the entire contents of the postal car, on train 51, were destroyed. One hundred and sixty packages of registered matter, in charge of postal clerks, and four through registered pouches for Washington were destroyed. As hear as can be ascertained these pouches left the following cities on the dates indicated: Lynchburg, February 19th, Atlanta, February 18th, Alexandria, February 19th, Bristol, Feb- ruary 17th. Postmaster Conger has telegraphed to each of the offices above bamed for a com- lete list of persons in this city to whom regis- Tered matter was addressed, and upon the re- ceipt of reply by mail will notify persons inter- ested, so that they may be iniormed of their Joss. ‘The ordinary mail destroyed is supposed tohave come from Louisiana,Texas, Mississippt, Alabama, parts of Georgia and South Carolin: and part of southwestern Virginia. Also mail from Danville, Lynchburg, Charlotte, Char lottesville and other places south. THE HEAVIEST 10SS OF MAIL MATTER KNOWN. At the the Post Office department it is stated that the disaster on the Midland road last even- ing caused the heaviest loss of United States mail that has ever occurred at an accident of this Kind. ‘There were thirteen through regis tered pouches containing mail matter for large cities of the east from the south. There ‘were 100 ordinary pouches and the usual hea' miscellaneous mnatter destroyed. It is impossl- ble to ascertain the valueof the registered pouches, but they are known to have contained @large amount of money and valuables. In addition there were 100 registered letters taken. up along the route that had not been placed in the pouches, ‘Mrs. Belt Becomes Insane. ‘Mra, Belt, formerly the Widow Godfrey, whose husband, Eugene N.

To the Editorof Tax EVENING STAR: In the interesting sketch of the New York Avenue church in Saturday's STar {san error which needs correction, lest some future hustori- anofourcity churchesshould copy it. Thestate- ment is: “The Metropolitan church, on Capitol Hill, was originally started asa mission of the New York Avenue church, and this connection was continued until the infant church was able to form an independent connection.” The Me- tropolitan church did not start as @ mission of any other church. Among the persons who met on the 28th of Februar; 64, in the school house on 1st street southeast, to origi- nate it, there was not a single member of the New York Avenue church. They were mostly members of the First, Fourth and Seventh Pres- byterian charches. Wey. Dr. Gurley a’ d the members of his church were earnest friends and liberal givers to the new enterprise, but not more so than the L prin apres and Presbyterian churehes. The original naie of thisehurch was the Capitol Hill Presbyferifm church. The change of name was owing to its receiving from the general assembly a lot on E street north- west, which had been designed for a metropol- itan church.

Proctor in Longman’s. ‘There is that famous hand in which the Duke of Cumberland held ace, king, queen and knave in one plain suit; ace, king, queen in another; ace, king in the third; while in trumps he held king, knave, nine and seven. Yet with this per- fectly magnificent hand and the lead (leading also quite correctly) he did not make asingle trick. This seems incredibie, but when the hands are supplied the solution of the problem will be readily seen. The four trumps lying just over those held by the Duke of Cumberland, viz.,the ace, queen, ten and eight, were on his left, with nine diamonds, while on his right were five small trumps, He led a trump, which was taken on his left and @ diamond ied—trumped on his ht, Another trump was led through him, which was similarly taken and another diamond led, which was also trumped on his right. An- oilier trump led through the duke caused his it one to last trump fall. The last was then extracted by the player on his left.

The third raised the point that the presentation of # false bill was hot a crime under the statute unless it was sented in sapport of @ false claim: tn other words, the presentation of a false bill to collect: an honest claim is not a erime,, Mr. Wilsow argued these prayers at some length. ir. Worthington replied to Mr, Wilson, THE CHARGE To THE JURY. Judge Wylie began his charge at baif-pastona o'clock. He said the jury could find one of | both of the defendants guilty or mot guilty, ot could find a verdict as toone and disagree as to the other, He said the statute made criminal the presentation of any false claim to the gov. ernment by a person knowing the same to be false or fraudulent.
