An Old Couple Killed on the Metropolitan Branch This Morning. THE ENGINEER BLEW THR WHISTLE, BUT THEY DID NOT WEAR IT—THE MANGLED REMAINS BROUGHT TO THIS CITY—A SON'S GRIEF—THE CORONER To HOLD AN INQUEST. Another chapter in the history of railroad tragedies wns enacted this morning at a rail- road crossing about a mile and a half from this city on the Metropolitan branch of the Balti- moreand Ohio railroad, known as Maguire's crossing, which leads to South Brookland, re- sulting in the death of James E. Owens, aged seventy-nine, and his wife, Nancy A. Owens, aged seventy-four. Train number 52, which left Frederick at 6 o'clock this morning for this city, was the exe- eutioner. The accident happened at about 8:18 o'clock. The point where the road crosses the railroad tracks is unprotected, there being no safety gates there. To cross the tracks the road inclines on each side, and it is impossible for an approaching train to see the crossing uniil it is right up on it. BOTH MAN AND WORAN KILLED. The victims of the accident were a very poor couple, who lived in South Brookland and de- rived a livelihood by furnishing milk to people in Washington. They were on their way to serve their customers this morning in their old covered wagon when the accident occurred. The engine struck the wagon about midway breaking it in half and instantly killing the old couple. The horse escaped. As soon as the engineer saw the danger he reversed the engine and put on the air brakes, but it was too to avoid the accident. The engine ran the length of about ten care before it, stopped. ‘Then it was brought back and Conductor Brown and Master Gaither found the old couple between the two tracks, and placing them in the baggage car the train proceeded to this city, where the police were notified and the bodies removed to the morgue at the sixth pre- cinet. When a reporter of Tue Sran visited the morgue this morning he found the bodies stretched out on the cooling boards, with a sheet thrown over them. Upon investigation it was found that the man was the more man- gled of the two. Hix face was cut in a great many places, and his upper lip bung by a shred. The woman, on the other hand, showed no injuries about the face, althongh it was cov- ered with blood. Both hands, however, were broken. A SON'S GRIEF. As the reporter was leaving the station a tall, fine-looking gentleman applied for admission to the morgue that he might see the bodies. ‘The policeman in charge asked him if he knew the parties, and he rephed with a sob that the were his parents. Ho asked if they were mucl disfigured, and being informed that they were he said he would wait until the undertaker had laid them out before he would sce them. “Poor father and mother,” he said to the reporter, “they always said that they wanted to die to- gether and their wish has been granted. In life they were inseparable, in death they are ther.” ter in the day the coroner was notified and he will hold an inquest. TRE ENGINEER'S REPORT. Superintendent Alvey of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad showed the reporter the accident report. It was made out by Patrick Collins, the engineer of the engine which did the fatal work. He stated substantially that he did not see the wagon until he was right up on it, and although he did his utmost he could not avoid the accident. He stated that in rounding the slight curve just beyond the scene where the accident took place he blew the whistie several times as a warning. The report also states that the old couple had comforters about their ears and did not hear the train. —— The German Dramatic Club. The members of the German Dramatic Club passed a delightful evening Wednesday at Wil- lard’s Hall. Prof. Klemm read an amusing short essay entitled “A Funny Missionary Story.” He was followed by the overture, “The Calif of Bagdad,” rendered on the piano by the Misses Ca: a and Heisler. Then followed the Tepresentatioa of a charming four-act charade repared by the president of the club, Frau ma Poesche, and'in which she herself took the leading role, that of a despotic and would- be-aristocratic mother.

The trunk captured by Officer Goucher Wed- nesday morning about 5 o'clock from a thief on Massachusetts avenue between 16th and 17th streets, after firing twoor three shots at him, and taken to the third precinct station for identification, has been restored to its owner, and thereby hangs a rather peculiar story. The trunk and its contents belong to Miss Elliott, who is a member of the “L'Africuine” party, who went over to Baltimore Tuesda: the burlesque there for charity. ere of the party was ordered to be sent bac! to Washington at 2 a.m. and to be delivered at on watch at each house Elliott's, 1603» Masea- usetts avenue, the driver was unable to obtain a response, and, as it was particularly requested that the trunk be delivered promptly, he concluded there was nothing for him to do but leave it on the door steps, which he did.

The House District committee held an im- portant meeting today and transacted a con- siderable amount of business. Several’ very important bills were reported, among them be- ing the bill refunding the District debt falling due during 1891 and 1892, and the other the bill providing a new assessment law for the District. The mecting today was not expecially well attended, but the necessary quorum was Present, which was all that could be desired. TO REFUND THE DISTRICT DEBT. The committee ordered a favorable report on the bill authorizing the issue of bonds to meet the mataring bonds of 1891 and 1892, amounting to about $3,200,000. The bill was amended 80 as to have the interest on the new bonds 3.5 cent instead of 3.65. It was alo provided that the last issae of bonds should be first called in. The Commissioners’ assessment law was also reported favorably with several amendments, which, however, did not substantially alter the dill as sent from the District building. The endments related mainly to the time of tak- ing the assessment and the time in which the taxesare to be paid under the new law. Both of these points are to be amended sons to render the new law smooth in its workings. ‘THE GEORGETOWN AND TENLETTOWN R.R. The committee likewise rendered a favorable report on the bill extending the charter of the Georgetown and Tenleytown Railway Company. ‘The bill was amended by allowing the company to increase its capital stock $400,000 instead of $200,000. ‘The extension provided in the bill is as follows Beginning at the intersection of High or 32d street and Beall or O street, in the city of Georgetown, and running thence east on Beall or croting Rock creek to 25th in the city of street to N street northwest; thence east with N «treet to 22d street northwest; thence south with 22d street to G street northwest; thence east alon; G street to 17th street_northwest; thence sout j along 17th street to B street northwest, and | thence along B street to 7th street northwest.
