A neatly dressed young woman, who gave the name of Amelia Gerhold, was charged with being boisterous on 13th street last night. The Unfortunate woman, whose mind is thought to be unbalanced, has, it is stated, been leading a dissolute life im a house on 13th street below the avenue, and last night she ran into the Street attired in her evening dress, and ‘creamed “murder” and “police” without any fause whatever. Policeman Boland arrested her, and placed her in the care of one of the matrons of the first police station. She was perfectly sober, and had no complaint what- ever to make when the officer arrived. When the case was calied for trial two young women who reside in the same house with her were called as witnesses, and they told of the strange actions ot Amelia, and were sure that her mind Was unbalanced. Judge Milis thought that the workhouse was not the proper place for the young woman, and had her sent back in the dock to be examined in order to determine whether she should be sent to the insane hos- pital Remnant” advt., paged. * —_———__—_ Assioxer’s Sace.—Walter B.

Three Men Killed in an Accident on the Baltimore and Ohto. ‘THE CHICAGO EXPRESS RUNS INTO THE REAR OF A FREIGHT TRAIN ON A SIDING—TNE BRAKE- ‘MAN WHOSE CARELESSNESS CAUSED THE ACCI- DENT AND AN ENGINEER AND FIREMAN KILLED. A side-tracked freight train, an open switch, @ swiftly moving passenger train and three dead men. These were the main features in an accident that took place at Germantown, on the Baltimore and Ohio road, shortly before 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon. The Chicago express. technically known as No. 6, was on its way to Washington and was but 26 miles short of its destination when the collision occurred. The train consisted of a baggage and a postal ear, two day conches, two sleeping cars and a parlorand dining car. The main track was clear, for an east-bound freight train, in charge of Conductor G. W. Licklider, had been ordered on to the Germantown siding until No. 6 should have passed by. WENT BACK TO THE SWITCH. When the freight train entered the siding Brakeman Frank Ray went back for the pur- pose of closing the switch; this subsequent events showed he failed to do properly. Twenty minutes before the accident occurred Conduc- tor Licklider asked Ray if that switch was se- d Ray's answer was in the affirmative, ington Jnnotion the incoming pas- senger train was an hour late, but the railroad men say there was no acceleration of speed be- cause of this and that the rato at the time the accident occurred would not exceed thirty miles an hour. ALL IN AN INSTANT. Before any one was aware of it the heavy engine of the express had entered the open switch and was lying on one side on a bed of crushed freight cars, while the mail and bag- gage cars were thrown off the track. The first victim of the disaster—a sacrifice to his own carelessness—was Brakeman Frank Ray. He was seated in the caboose when the engine struck him. His head and shoulders were severely contused, but the work of death was doue by the steam which escaped from the engine. ‘Lwo other lives went up out of the mixed up mass of splintered wood and battered machin- ery. David Ziler, engineer of the express, barely had time to realizs that something was wrong before his engine turned over on him and crushed out the spark of existence while one hand was_ stretched out in an unsuccessful effort to reach the air-brake lever, Fireman Quarles was less fortunate, in that he suffered before the ead came, ATTENDING THE DEAD AND INJURED. As soon as possible the work of attending to the sufferers was commenced. None of the passengers on the express were injured in any way, so there wasan ample force of willing and capable people ready todo anything the exigency called for. Some worked, and suc- cessfully, too, to prevent fire from ‘adding to the horror of the situat others labored to remove the = pe Brakeman Ray was taken out and placed in the care of Dr. 8. L. Loomis of this city, who happened to be on the express, Nothing could be done for the poor fellow, and at 6:30 he closed hus eyes forever, taking with him the only testimony as to tho condition of the switck. His body was fearfully scalded, THE FIREMAN’S NERVE. Fireman Quarles, when pulled out from under the engine, displayed an extraordinary amount of nerve. He had been enveloped in steam for some time, yet with alittle assistance he walked to the station. Dr. Loomis did everything in his power to mitigate hia suffer- ings, but at 9 o'clock the pet fireman suc- cumbed. When his clothing was removed every particle of his skin came off with it; he was parboiled. FE. T. Benton. jr., a clerk in the mail car, had his knee injured, but he was the only one in any way burt, save the three train bands, ANOTHER ACCIDENT, As if three lives Were not enough, another accident occurred at 6 o'clock, which will prob- ably cost a boy his life. Rubel Laker, whoso home is near Germantown, went down to see the wreck and reccived ‘injuries of a most serious nature. The collision had completely blocked the main track and in order that the regular trains be not delayed. it was arranged to run them through the south siding. There isa ‘milk platform” at this siding and as it would not permit pet cars to pass it was trimmed off with an axe so as to allow an inck or so of clearance. As the Hagerstown train appronched this plattorm— moving slowly, for it was about to stop—young Baker made an attempt to jump on the steps. He slipped and fell so that he was caught tween the steps and the platform. Both thig. were broken and badly lacerated. It took a good deal of judicious effort and nearly half an hour's time was required to remove the youngster without adding to his injuries. Dr, Loomis attended to him also, and when Fire- man Quarles died, took the boy with him to this city and conveyed him to Providence Hospital, THE DEAD. Engineer David Ziler lived at Martinsburg, W. Vo, He was unmarried, and had been a valued employs of the Baltimore and Ohio company for twenty years. Fireman Charles Quarles had been on the road about five years. His home was at 2029 Hanover street, Baltimore. He was the sole support of a widowed mother and several brothers and sisters. brakeman Frank Ray lived at Tom's Brook, Be CLEARING THE TRACK. It took four hours of hard work before the road was opened once more for traffic. The ex- press engine was damaged very considerably, and both the baggage and postal cars will need repairing. The freight caboose was smashed to atoms and so was the next car, which was filled with bran. Ahead of the car of bran was one loaded with limestone for the Congress- tonai Library, and to the top of this the engine climbed before it toppled over. ‘fhe baggage, express and mail matter was recovered unin- jured and dispatched as socn as the road was clear. General Agent Alvey of this city went up to the scene of the wreck as soon as the news ar- rived here and remained there until things were working smoothly. Dr. 8. L. Loomis, who eared for the wounded yesterday evening, said to a Star reporter this morning that several misstatements had been made as to the accident and its results. ‘In some manner,” he said, ‘confusion has been created as to the sufferers. The brakemar of the freight—the man who was responsible for the accident—was not injured previous to the collision, and there was nothing to prevent him from getting in or out of his caboose as fre- quentiy as ho desired to until the crash came. ‘There was another brakeman hurt ut Gaithers- burg several hours before; his foot was mashed, but he was on auother train and a good many miles away.” HE DID NOT LOCK IT, It is thought that Brakeman Ray, when he went back toattend the switch, lifted the switch handle and carelessly allowed it to drop back in ita old position, instead of secing that it had fallen properly to the other side. This mistake would have been discovered had he iocked the switch, as was his duty, but probably to avoid the trouble of unlocking it again when his train moved out he also failed in this particular and thereby caused his own and two other men’s death, THE PASSENGER TRAIN was under the charge of Conductor Henry Long. It was just 4:44 when the siding was entered and the crash came. The vestibules of the passenger train prevented the cars from Seer and Coe) — Reine | ondbeere only the engire, mail an: e en derailed. ‘The freight cars ao piled rap heap and their contents ecattered in all direc- tions, TN THE POSTAL CAR. In the postal car were A. Leeds, B. L. Ross and E. T. Benton, jr., of the railway mail ser- vice. Although badly shaken up all escaped any very serious injury. A SLIGHT SHOCK. The shock of the collision in the rear pas- senger coaches was said to have been very light and no one was hurt in the slightest. ‘THE SCENE OF THE ACCIDENT. ‘The scene of the accident, Germantown sta- tion, is on the Metropolitan branch of the Bal- timore and Ohio, 26 miles west of this city, as stated, and 19 miles east of Point of Rocks. It four miles west of where double track on the M branch ends. POLICE COURT REFORM. New Rules and a Renovated Building Will Make a Change for the Better. The work of constructing the new cell room and making other necessary repairs to the Po- lice Court building will be bogun early next month. Judge Miller is endeavoring to secure other quarters to be occupied while the im- provements are in progress, and it is likely that he will secure the use of one of the court rooms in the City Hall It will be almost impossible to hold court in the old building while the re- Pairs are being made, When Judge Miller returns from his vaca- tion he is going to conduct business under new rules that will operate to the advantage of the court, the prisoners and the witnesses. Each morning at the opening of the court or as soon thereafter as practicable all the prisoners will be brought into the dock and arraigned, and those who plead guilty will have their ‘cases disposed of, and instead of having to remain until all the cases are tried they will be sent off to the jail or work house and reach those in tutions in time for dinner. The new rules wili be a great improvement on the old ones so far as the comfort of prisoners is concerned, and will also tend to chec ring. ——— A Brutal Practices To the Editor of Tue Eventno Sran: I would like to call your attention to the checking up of horses, and especially to the use of overdraws, which has grown to be a crucl and brutal practice indulged in toa great extent in this city. Is it not possible, Mr. Editor, to have some steps taken to remedy this abuse? I am led to write this from wit- nessing a scene of great brutality. Last Sat- urday evening, about 5 o'clock, a large express wagon heavily laden with lumber was being drawn up Glenwood Hill near the Catholic University by two fine large horses—one bay and the other gray. When part way up the hill the horses stopped, unable to draw the load fur- ther. After urging the horses for some time tho driver stepped down from his wagon and with the butt end of a heavy wagon whip beat the gray horse unmercifully, first on the head and then under the stomach, These horses’ heads were too tightly checked up for draught work, Had the driver unchecked them and given the horses their heads, so they could have thrown the whole weight of their bodies against the load, they would undoubtedly have pulled the load up the hill without distress, I hope Tue Stax will lend its influence toward correcting this barbarous fashion.

The Ancient History and Present At- tractions of Berkeley Springs. Corresponderce of TH EVENING Stan, Berkevey Sreinas, W. Va., August 25. Berkeley Springs is the county seat of Mor- gan county, one of the three counties which compose the panhandle of West Virginia. This town, which was formerly called Bath, was laid out in 1776 and a public sale of town lots was held in October, 1 at which time George Washington, by proxy, purchased alot. One ofthe three trees which he planted is still standing, a large vigorous elm, The springs are noted asa specific for rheumatisin, gout, dyspepsia and other ailments to which the flesh is heir, The temperature of the wator is 75 degrees Fahrenheit, Its thermal quality is very noticeable when used for drinking pur- poses, but the reverse is shown when it is used for bathing; but invalids can have the water heated to any degree of temperature suitable to the vitality of each. There are two swim- ming pools, one for cach sex. ‘The leagth of each pool is 75 feet and the width 20 feet. ‘Lhere are also many private bath houses for the timid and ailing. ‘There are two newspapers here, the Mercury, republican, and the Ares, democratic. The county is republican by about four hundred. There are about six townships in the county, Farming is not carried on to a great extent on account of the rocky condition of the soil, the farmers maki living hauung bark, hoop-poles, &c. ‘here isa large tanuery in operation here, employing 150 men, ‘The religious denominations owning church roperty are the Methodists, Presbyterians, Episcopalians, Roman Catholics, United Brethren and African Methodists, The Metho- dists are just finishing a handsome editice of brick, which will be the costliest and most im- osing of any in town. ‘The springs property Ec controlled by the state and managed by a Lourd of trustees appointed by the governor from residents of the town, ‘The grounds aro naturally beautiful. There isa large double- story brick school house ere, and provisions are being made for additional room for the noxt scholastic year. In addition tothe two principal hotels many boarding houses flourish, so great isthe demand for accommodations, ‘Terpsichorcan exercises each evening seem to be the attraction, but the scarcity of the sterner sex detracts from the otherwise delectable astime, ‘here are many Washingtonians ere. ee At the Deaf Mute Convention, Correspondence of Tus Lvexixe Stan. 3 New Youx, August 26, Prof. E. A. Fay of Washington presided at the evening session of the convention of Amer- ican Instructors of the Deaf. Among the speakers were the Rev. F. M. Gordon, colored, in charge of the Georgia Institution for Col- ored Deaf and Blind, who spoke upon physical culture, The sessions today were largely de- voted to the normal department, embracing a number of subjects. Among the papera read was an interesting one on coilege work, by Prof. A. G. Draper of Washington, D.C,’ An interesting feature at the dinner table, in the halls, pariora and in the auditorium are the basy tingers and silent gestures constantly active in communication between divers viduals and groups without in the least in fering with one another or apparently disturb- ing the speakers ou the platform. —_— Wear, From the Clothier and Furaisher.

A Connecticut Violinist Disappears in the Clouds, Ewald Weiss of New Haven, one of the most widely known violinists in Connecticut, is lost in the White mountains and his friends fear that he has been killed. Mr, Weiss went to Now Hampshire three weeks ago. Last Sunday morning he started alone to walk from Mount Washington to the summit of Mount Adams. He was expected to return in the evening, but has not since been heard from. Messages were senton Monday to all placeson the eastern side of the mountain range aud then a search- ing party went over the route that he is sup- posed to have taken, but the only clue dis- covered was a portion of the musician's lunch, which was found on Mount Clay. Expert mountain guides have searched the hills with- out avail, and they believe that Mr. Weiss be- came confused and lost in the dense rain clouds and wandered down the slope into some wooded ravine, where he was overcome by fatigue, hunger and cold, —$oo—— THEY CRITICISE MR, MIZNER, Mexican Newspapers Think That He Should be Reprimanded. All the Mexican papers are overhauling Min- ister Mizner. The Tico Republics, the American daily published at the City of Mexico, in refer- ring to the failure of the diplomatic corps to restore peace, says editorially: “It is stated that Minister Mizner is responsible for the present snarl in Central American affairs. While it seems that he has acted in accord with the representatives of Great Britain, Germany, France, and Spain, there can be little doubt that he has made himself very officious, and in view of the result of his diplomacy a reprimand from Washington would be richly deserved. We defended Minister Mizner against the strictures of our contempora he Parlido Liberal, because at that time nothing Was known to the public that could justify those strictures. Recent relations, however, have demonstrated that Minister Mizner has labored to deprive the people of Salvador of the fruits of their late revolution by again placing them under the tutelage of Guatemala —the very state of affairs against which they 'o the republicans of America the demand made by President Barillas and supported by Minister Mizner and the European membere of the dip! corps seems preposterous. lomatic What right has the president of Guatemala to demand that the people of Salvador shall call to the presidency this or that person? Presi- dent Barillas has from the commencement of the struggle demanded that Ayala, the vico president of the government lately overthrown, shall be installed in the presidency, and the members of the diplomatic corps, after a grand flourish of trumpets, have mercly adopted that demand as their own, We are happy to say that the representative of Mexico has had no hand in the peace negotiations, which seem to have been set on foot for the specific purpose of restoring Gantemala’s lost predominance m Ceutral American affairs, We hope Gen. Ala- torre, the gallant and accomplished minister of Mexico, will signalize his arrival in Guatemala by proposing that the question in dispute be submitted to arbitration.” ‘The Monitor, a very liberal and fair journal, laments the power that the United States wields in North and Central America, as it clains its power is prejudicial to the peace arrangements, it claims that in the present case Mexicc would be the most fitting arbiter of peace between Salvador and Guatemala. —— 008. One of Your Little Lord Fauntleroys. From the Chicago Tribune, A North Sider says: The good boy is all right for a Sunday school class or for an ornament in the parlor when you have company. But asa traveling companion he lacks interest. I was making a journey some weeks ago from one section of the country to another. An ac- quaintance, a most estimable lady, asked me if it would be too much trouble for me to look after her boy, about nine years old. to his des- tination, Iaccepted the responsibility cheer- fully, for Iam fond of boys, After the train was well under way I turned to the young man and asked him if he would like to have me raise the window. He said “No, sir,” in a way that was chilly. Iwas knocked out for a minute. ThenI asked him why. He said his mamma told him he must not put his head out of the window. Imused. I admired the boy for his obedience, of course. and his mother, whose influence upon him for good had beon so successful. But I regretted that he was, as they say at the Whitechapel, soinert. The newsboy came in and tossed us a copy of a cer- tain publication which I don’t think much of, but still Thad a sneaking desire to see my young companion look at it. He didn’t, T asked him if he would like to look at the pic- tures, He said: *No, s'r,” again, adding that it was a bad paper and he never read anything but Sunday school papers. The train boy coming back I purchased a nickel’s worth of chewing gum and passed it to the young man, but he shook his head. He said his mamma never chewed gum, I got devilish; I don’t know why, but I did. Isaid to him: “But your mamma won't know it if you chew this.” “Re shook his head again. “Nobody wif know it,” I said; “everybody chews gum these days,” ‘Good boys don't chew gum,” he replied, and 1 confess I felt like crawling under the seat. I was silent for a halt hour. I pointed up to the bell cord and asked him if he knew what it was for. He said he didu’t. I asked himif he woutd like to know. He said: “Yes, sir.” “Weill, I don’t know,” Isaid. I felt like being mean, I thought maybe he would ask me to hold him up so he could jerk the rope, and we would have some excitement. That's what I would have done when I wasa boy. But this boy wasn’t built that way. Later in the day dinner was announced in the dining car, I arose to go and told the boy to follow, but he declined with thanks. ‘Why not?” I asked, and didn’t ask it in any padded voice, either, “Mamma fixed me aluneh,” he said, “and said [ mustn't go out of the car until it reached Chicago.” I tried to get around this conscientiousiy, but the young Casabinnea stayed right there. As I left him I said to him: “I may not be back for two or three hours, but I think you can take care of yourself.” When I went back to him I won!d have taken my oath that he hadnt moved the thousandth partot an inch, We reached our destination and I turned him over to his friends. I was er so tired in my life. If I could hear of mebody walloping that youngster { would feel happy. It’s a mean thing to say, but I was meen when I was a boy. ait <A ae.

CURED IN EIGHT W EEKS—ONE OF THE GREAT- EST CURES EVER PERFORMED BY THE CUTICURA REMEDIES, At the age of three mouthsa rash (which afterward Proved to be eczema or salt rheam) made its appear- ance on my face. Physician after physician was called, None of them did me any good ct all, but made me worse, The disease continued unabated; it spread to my arms and iegs, till I was laid up entirely, and from continually sitting on the floor ona pillow, my limbs contracted so that I lost@l! control of thom, and was utterly helpless, My mother would have to lift me out and into bed. I could get around the house on my hands and feet, but Ieould not get my clothes on at all, and had to wear s sort of dressing gown. My hair had all matted down orfallen off, ahd my head, face and ears were one scab. The disease continued in this manner until I was seventeen years old, and one day in January, 1879, 1 read an account in the Tribune of your CUTICURA REMBDIES. It described my caso so exactly, that I thought, as’ last resort, to give them s trial When I first applied them I was all raw and biceding, from scratching my- self, but I went to sleep almost immedistely, some- thing Thad not done for yeara, the effect was so soothing, In about two weeks I could stand straight, but not walk, I was so weak; but my tores wero nearly well. As near as I can judge. the CUTICUKA REME- DIES cured me in about aix to cight weeks, and up to thisdate (i.e, from January, 1879,to January, 1887) Thave not been sick in any way, or have had the least ‘sign of tho disease reappearing on me, W.

The Directors Will Meet September 5 to Ballot. The world’s fair directors held a session Inst night in Chicago. Washington Park, by a viva voce vote, was declared the preference of the directors if it could be secured, and a resolu- tion was passed declaring that a site must not be decided upon until a fow days before the meting of the national commission. The next business which came before the gathering and which called forth considerable discussion was the resolution from Mr. Jeffrey, which read: Resolved. That we earnestly urge the South Park commissioners to tender to the world’s exposition directory the use of Washingten Park for the fair site, because it is the most ad- ney epee for the purpose wanted and because it is the one site for the exposition. It was moved by Mr. Lawrence that “the most advantageous” clause be stricken, ont and thus amended the resolution was put to a vote and it was pamed. showing a decided prefe: ence for Washington Park. Dircetor Law- rence then offered a resolution, which substan- tially was as follo Resolved, That the directors meet Septem- er 9, at 2p.m., atan adjourned mecting and I balloting begin for a site and that bal- loting continue until a site be selected from tho number offered. An objection was made to the resolution by many of the directors because they thought the grounds and building committee could take care of that part of the business, The resolu- tion was finally put to a vote with the amend- ment that balloting begin not later than 5 p.m. and it was passed by a vote of 15 to & = aoe tl Holzhay’s Attempted Suicide.
