Three colored families were rendered hemeless and destitute by fire last night. It was about 10 o'clock when fire was dis- covered in the house of George Williams, No. 1606 Columbia road, and it was only a few minutes before the house of Benjamin Dixon and Benjamin Winston were doom- ed. Williams, whose wife is employed in the city, had left his house and gone to escort her home. He knew she would he cold when she reached home and so he made a hot fire in the stove and departed. The high wind caused the fire to burn quickly and when the stove became over- heated it set fire to the house. A colored man passing discovered the flames and he lost no time in calling for assistance. Soon the police and firemen reached the scene. There was some difficulty expe- rienced by the firemen in their efforts to get water, and all this time the fire, which was being assisted along by the high wind, was fast eating its way through the thin walls to the adjoining houses. The work of laying the three houses a mass of charred wood and ashes was done in a few minutes. So quickly did the fiames spread that some of the occupants of one of the houses had to leave their beds and go out in the snow in their night clothes. Will- iams and Dixon owned their houses. All the household effects in the three little dwellings were consumed and none of them were insured. The members of the fami- lies who were rendered homeless so sud- denly spent the night at the homes of neighbors. anne entire loss is estimated at about .800, Yesterday afternoon about 4 o'clock an alarm of fire from 634 called the fire de- partment out on a long run to No. 203 12th street northeast, where a defective flue caused a few dollars’ damage. There was +. slight fire in the house of H. W. Hinkl., No. 417 New York avenue, caused by the use of fire to thaw out a frozen pipe. About 7:30 o’clock last night the depart- ment was called out for fire in the house of Elmer Howard, No. 1102 L street rorth- east. About $100 damage was done. ——— ee FREEZING OF PIPES. Due to Poor Plumbing, Says Judge Kimball. Today's session of Judge Kimball's court was prolonged by the hearing of cases cf wasting Potomac water and failing to re- move snow from the sidewalk. Inspector Fitzhugh had several water cases. In cne case he complained against a man for hav- ing allowed his water to run when the pipes had been frozen and the occupant cf the house had just completed the task cf thawing out the pipe. The valve, of course, was left open, and the occupant vf the house was heating the pipe in the house when the inspector appeared. This ex- cuse did not suit the inspector, but it did suit the court, and the citizen who had been put to the trouble of appearing in court was not fined. There were other cases in which persons were similariy charged and in which the court suspended sentence. Judge Kimball, speaking on this question, said that the cases presented two qu<s- ticns. Residents of Capitol Hill cannot get water on the upper floors of their nouses because in other sections the water is al- Icwed to run to prevent freezing, and on the other hand, if these people do not let the water run there is a freeze and then houses are flooded. The judge said he thought it about time that plumbers were doing work in a man- ner to protect the pipes from the weather. When the plumbing is done as it should be there wiil be no trouble about the wasting of water.. In several snow cases fines of $2 were imposed. ———— Give Us Water. To the Editor of The Evening Star: As a long-suffering taxpaying citizen, I want to add my entreaty to that of Col. Elliot in last night's Star, for Congress to restore to the District bill the appropria- tien for raising the dam, and thereby in- creasing the supply of water. Even now the water will not rise to the water closet tank on the second floor of my house! How are people to live, and what are we to do, in that condition? I was astounded at reading in the Record the reasons given for striking out that item. Every one of the pretended reasons— reed of an examination, danger of burst- ing the conduit, &c.—was so fully an- swered by Col. Elliot that they need not be discussed. ‘The whole reason for the delay is the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Company's in- terests, the laying of a foundation for a big claim, and nothing else. In heaven's name, have not we water takers and taxpayers in the District been swindled and outraged enough already in the matter of the water supply? Give us the appropriation and let the work go on, ana settle whatever claims the canal company has or may have here- after. That can wait—the water supply cannot. A TAXPAYER.

The thirteenth annual banquet of the District of Columbia Commandery of the Military Order of the Loyal Legion at the Arlington on the evening of the 12th in- stant (Lincoln's birthday) is expected to be the most notable and successful social function in the history of the organization. Elaborate arrangements for the occasion are progressing, and an exceptional at- tendance of gentlemen prominent in pub- lic_and private life, the military, naval and civil services, is assured. — ———————————— ——— — —————————___— RAILROAD ACCIDENT, The Storm the The storm yesterday was the direct cause of an accident on the main line of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, which occasioned considerable delay to incoming trains, but did not cause any loss of life. The mishap to the train occurred at Branchville, about twelve miles from Washington. About 5 o'clock a train from Itimore was blocked in a snow drift, and for some reason it was not possible to get news in time up the road to warn the next train coming down the line. The result was that a Royal Blue line train crashed into the rear end of the standing train and destroyed a couple of express cars, and Bave the passengers generally a very severe shaking up. The Blue Line train Was running at greatly reduced speed, which was a most fortunate thing, under the circumstances, for, as it was, the pas- sengers and train crews got off without any serious injuries. One passenger had his hand hurt, and a brakeman received some slight bruises. As a result of the collision there was a lengthy blockade at the little station, which grew in size until at the end of a few hours eight trains were drawn up in a long line along the road, and the pas- sengers on board of them were at hard straits to keep reasonably comfortable. Some of the ladies on board the trains were cared for at neighboring houses, but the majority of the passengers had to stick it out on the chilly and cheerless cars. circumstances would have been no accident, but even with an accident there would have been no delay to other trains, as they could have been shunted around on the sidings past the wreck. As it was, however, it was impossible to get by, and there was nothing to do but go to work and dig out Eek trains. ortly after the news of the wreck reached the Baltimore and Ohio station at this city a wrecking train left for the Scene of the accident, in charge of Supt, Alvey, who has been a very overworked official during the last three days. As 4 re- sult of the effort of the wreckers, the first train to get away reached this city about midnight, and the others were not very much behind it. Outside of the loss to the railroad company the damage does not amount to a great deal. ——— Margaret Cook, aged eighty-nine, whose fureral occurred at Columbus, Ohio, yes- terday, was aboard, as a babe and with her parents, of Robert.
