EXPRESS TRAIN GOING AT THE RATE OF FIFTY MILES AN ROUR— THE CORONER'S INQUEST — THE WATCHMAN CHARGED WITH CRIMINAL EEGLIGENCE. The New York express train on the Baltimore and Potomac railroad due here at 8:40 p.m. Saturday struck s wagon at the Bennings cross- ing,Skilling four men and seriously, perhaps fatally, injuring another. The wagon was owned and driven by Francis Godfrey, known about Bennings as ‘‘old man Godfrey.” The “stage,” as it was called, made trips at irrega- lar intervals between the old toll gate at the eastern terminus of H street and the cross roads of Bennings, When the wagon left the toll gate on ite last trip there were four pas- Perc They were R.

Jones was sent to Freedman’s hospital in the police ambulance and the dead body was taken to the morgue. The patrol wagon from the ninth precinct went out to the scene of the accident and brought the other three bodies to the morgue. All the bodies were horribly mutilated except that of Snowden. The gateman (Richardson) was ar- rested and held on a charge of causing the ac- cident, THE CROSSING I8 A DANGEROUS ONE, there being two switches, in addition to the regular tracks, crossing the road On either side of the railroad are deep ditches that might at time prove disastrous should a frightened horse run away. Within 100 feet of these tracks is the track of the Baltimore and Ohio road leading to the Union stock yard. This track is nof protected by gates. The tracks are above grade and a vehicle approach- ing ina hurry would inpoanpean | lose a few seconds, In present case such a slight loss of time proved fatal. Coroner Patterson viewed the bodies and Deputy Coroner Schaeffer ex- amined them, AND YOU, ONE AND ALL, WILL STAND BY ‘THE INQUEST. An inquest was held at the sixth precinct station yesterday morning to inquire into the cause of Godfrey's death, The jury was com- Posed of William A. Peacock, J.B. Hunt, Pat- rick Cusick, John F.

The death is announced in Paris of the Marquis de Caux. who was Adelina Patti’s former husband, The Marquis de Caux owes his celebrity entirely to his marriage with Adelina Patti. The match was brought about by the Em; Eugenie, De Caux being one of the gay nobles of her court and Patti one of the brightest ornaments of the then brilliant capital, They were marriedin 1868, but the marriage proved altogether unhappy. Patti continued to sing and the marquis spent her money and quarreled with her when sho objected to his extravagant debauchery. One night he attacked her brut behind the scenes at the opera and Patti od the protection of Nicolini, the tenor. This led to a formal separation, which was decreed in 1880, Patti big over a princely dower as the price of r liberty. After the passage of the divorce law in France Patti secured an absolute divorce from De Caux and was married to Nicolini. the marquis ha: life as a Paris meanwhile continued his fast man until he broke down.
