An Accident to a Freight Train at a Dangerous Point. Some day a passenger train on the Penn- sylvania railroad will run down the bank at the graveyard near this city, as a freight train did for the second time last night, and then there will be some deaths. On January 31 a freight train on the southern division was thrown down the bank at this point, an account of which appeared in The Star. The cause given was spread- ing rails. Last night about 9 o'clock a freight train, composed of loaded cars, with Conductor McBird and Engineer Bailey in charge, was wrecked at the very same point, the cause of which was also the spreading of the rails. One car went down the bank and several others were thrown from the track, but fortunately no one was hurt, but the track was completely blockaded. A wrecking train was sent out from Washington and reached here about 10:30 o'clock, when the work of clearing the track was proceeded with until this morning. No passenger trains were de- layed, as they were run around the wreck- age by side tracks. Jast Cause for Complaint. A number of the merchants and others who own horses in this city are complain- ing very bitterly about the Electric Rail- way Company having used and continu- ing to use salt on their tracks in this city for the purpose of thawing them out. They say that AJexandria is about the only city in the country where: such a thing would be allowed, and think the author- ities should put a stop to it. The Star man called to see Dr. R. L. Dunn, the veterinary surgeon, on the subject, and Dr. Dunn says it is a very dangerous prac- tice, as it causes very bad cases of hoof disease in any animal coming in contact with the salt. Funeral of George T. Price. All that was mortal of the late George T. Price, whose death was mentioned in The Star, was laid to rest yesterday after- noon with appropriate ceremonies. The funeral was largely attended by his many friends. Marley Encampment, No. 6, I. O. O. F.; Potomac Lodge, No. 38, I. 0. O. F.; Alexandria and Bellehaven Councils, Jun- jor Order United American Mechanics, and Lafayette Lodge, No. 11, I. O. M., of which orders the deceased was a member, attend- ed the funeral, as did also the postmaster, letter carriers and clerks at the post office. The pallbearers were R. T. Cook and C. W.

The purpose and aim of the Sons of the “Revolution is set forth in the opening words of their constitution, as follows: “It being evident, from the steady decline of the proper celebration of the national holi- days of the United States of America, that popular concern in the events and men of the war of the revolution is gradually de- clining, and that such lack of interest is attributable not so much to the lapse of time and the rapidly increasing flood of immigration from foreign countries as to the neglect on the part of descendants of revolutionary heroes to perform their duty In keeping before the public mind the mem- ory of the services of theif ancestors, and of the times in which they lived; therefore, the Society of the Sons of the Revolution has been instituted to perpetuate the mem- ory of the men who, in the military, naval, and civil service of the colonies and of the Continental Congress, by their acts or Admiral Fr: counsel, achieved the independence of the country, and to further the proper celebra- tion of ‘the anniversaries of the birthday of Washjngton and of prominent events ‘W. B. Rochester. connected with the war of the revolution; to collect and secure for preservation the rolls, records, and other documents relat- ing to that period; to inspire the members of the society with the patriotic spirit of their forefathers, and to promote the feel- ing of friendship among them.” The Officers.

All national holidays are celebrated by the Sons of the Revolution in an appro- priate manner, thus impressing upon the mind of youth the importance of such dates as February 22, June 14 and July 4. To the District of Columbia Society, Sons oi the Revolution, belongs the honor of instituting, within the District of Columbia “Flag day,” a day when all citizens ure urged to display ‘Old Glory.”” The display of the ‘starry emblem” was very gener: ly observed on June 14, 184, the first ceie- bration in this city of Flag day. It will be remembered that Roswell P. Flower, governor of the state of New York, vetoed the bill, passed by the legislature of New York in 184, prohibiting the display of foreign flags on public buildings in that state. The board of managers of the D trict of Columbia Society, Sons of the Rev- olution, very emphatically expressed their disapproval of this action on the part of the executive of the empire state by ap- propriate resolutions, adopted June 27, 1894, copies of which resolution were scat- tered broadcast throughout the land. The society, ever alive to the spirit of patriotism, is, through {ts committee on promotion, making strenuous efforts to have all military records, muster. and pay rolls, orders and reports relating to the personnel or the operations of the armies of the revolutionary war preserved, index- ed and prepared for publication. This, of course, to be done by the government. Eee TRE INCOME TAX. Conference Report Accepted by the -Scmate—The Time Extended.

Memorial From Arizona’s Legislature for a New Park. A memorial from the legislative assembly of Arizona has been presented to Congress requesting that the lands covered by the Petrified Forest be withdrawn from entry until the advisability of making a public park of it can be settled. The lands are in Apache county, are ten miles square and are covered by trunks of trees 200 feet long and seven to ten feet in diameter. The legislature says “ruthless curlosity seekers destroy these huge trees and logs by blasting them to get crystals, found in the center of many cf them. Carloads of the limbs .and smaller pieces are shipped away to be ground up for various purposes,” and that the park or “Chalcedony Forest” is “annually visit- ed by hundreds of scientific men and trav- elers from every state.”” To make it a pub- lic park would preserve the tract from vandalism and injure no one, as there ure no settlers upon it. pace cmt Indictments by the Grand Jury.

TAKEN 10 STAFFORD COURT HOUSE Story of a Remarkably Bold Af- fair. CAPTURING THE CRIMINALS STAFFORD COURT HOUSE, Va., Feb- ruary 20.—The trial of Morgan and Searcey, the alleged Aquia Creek train robbers, began here today. Stafford Court House 4s more like a place where a train might be. successfully held up than where :he perpetrators of one of the most daring train robberies on record are to be tried. ° The court house, the jail, the clerk's house, two stores and one other house con- stitute the village. It is four miles from the railroad, in the most thinly settled part of the county, and has a lonely, dreary aspect. Today, how- ever, it is thronged with country peo- ple and others. Morgan and Searcey were taken by Sheriff Kennedy from the Fred- ericksburg jail at an early hour -this morning to the depot to await the arrival of the train. With them were Superin- tendents Hinde and Estree of Pinkerton’s agency, and three other guards. The whole party were armed with Winchester repeating shotguns, for there have been rumors of an attempted rescue. The state claims that it has been defi- nitely ascertained that Morgan is the head ef a band of train robbers and has been concerned in several of the most success- ful affairs of this kind in the last few years. 2 Among those present at the trial are Mr. John Q. A. Herring, superintendent of the Adams Express Company at Philadelphia; Mr. W. S. Thomas, attorney for the com- pany; Col. Thomas Shay of Shay, Jackson & Cogan of Cincinnati, senior counsel for Morgan; State Senator Wm. H. Little, junior counsel for Morgan; Mr. David Her- ring, assistant superintendent of the Adams Express Company; Herman Witte of the detective force in Cincinnati, and W. Seymour White, commonwealth’s at- torney for Stafford county, who represent- ed the state in the extradition of Morgan from Ohio, and who is conducting the prosecution of the train robbers. The trip from Brooks to Stafford Court House was quickly made. County Judge Ashton opened court, and then Capt. Daniel Murray Lee, a brother of ex-Governor Fitzhugh Lee and nephew of Gen. Robert E. Lee, was sworn in as deputy sheriff. Morgan, who is to be tried first, was then arraigned. He pleaded not guilty and the work of selecting the jury began. The Aquia Creek Robbery. The train robbery of which Searcey and Morgan, or Morganfield, as he has also been called, is accused, was committed on the night of October 12 and created un- bounded excitement, as it was the first case of the kind in the east. It was a train robbery that will ever be memorable in the history of daring crime. It was committed about 9:30 o'clock on the Rich- mond, Fredericksburg and Potomac rail- rczd, thirty miles from this city, near the bridge over Aquia creek. The express leav- ing Richmond at 7 o'clock for the north and Fredericksburg at two .minutes of 9 was brought to a stop by two masked men, who, after intimidating the trainmen, at- tacked the Adams express car with dyna- mite, secured an entrance, forced the mes- senger in charge to open the money safe and took therefrom and successfully made off with money to the amount of several thousands of dollars. The robbers then uncoupled the engine from the train and after riding on it a con- siderable distance got off, let it go ahead at full speed, with throttle open, until it was demolished by running into a switch that had been opened at Quantico. The details of the thrilling affair show that it was planned with consummate skill and carried to success with unsurpassed boldness. The Dalton gang in the west never accomplished a more startling sensa~ tion. All the accompaniments of the ap- proved “hold-up” were had. Capture of Senrcey. All sorts of theories were advanced as to who the robbers were and where they had gone. A popular notion was that they had escaped across the river into Mary- land. But on October 17 news was received from Cumberland, Md., that a man had been arrested there on suspicion. Gov. O’Ferrall of Virginia had telegraphed the chief of police of Cumberland that two men who had been acting suspiciously at Front Royal, Va., the day before had pur- chased tickets for Shenandoah. Junction. As an express train was pulling out of Cumberland the next morning @ man an- swering the description of one of those mentioned in the telegram was seen to come from a hotel and run for the cars. The chief of police and an officer recog- nized him and captured him. He was taken to the station and searched. A small tourist's bag which he had carried over his shoulder was found to contain about $200 in silver coin, ranging from silver dollars down to pennies, which was stored away in two woolen sacks. There were also a bundle of Honduras lottery tickets in the original pac! and a number of pawn tickets on Washington brokers, and several silver and gold watches. In the telescope there were found a pair of muddy shoes and a suit of soiled clothes, a slouch hat and other wearing apparel, besides forty-five loaded shells. The man gave his name as C. J. Sear- cey, and claimed to hail from Fort Dodge, Kan., but said he had been engaged at work on the Harper’s Ferry bridge for several weeks. Investigation was then made here. It was ascertained that Searcey pawned Jew- elry at two shops here on the 27th of Sep- tember. At one place he disposed of a small lady’s gold watch, of Elgin make, with a man’s chain attached, giving the name of Charles T. Arlington. At the other pawn shop he disposed of a plain Masonic ring, giving his name as C. J. Searcey and his address as Memphis, Tenn., saying that he was in the city temporarily, and inquir- ing how he could redeem his pledge by mail, after he had left Washington. In the Course of a few days Searcey began to make admissions and finally confessed. Morgan Taken. In the meantime Morgan or Morganfield was arrested at Cincinnati. He broke his leg as he was jumping from a train and was confined in a hospital for a long time. He denied all knowledge of Searcey. A photograph was sent here and taken to a boarding house on Pennsylvania avenue, where the alleged train robbers stopped when thew were here. The landlord promptly recognized the photograph as a likeness of the man who stopped at hi house and registered as “0. Ariington. He had previously identified Searcey as the one who registered as “C. T. Vivial The pawnbroker at whose place some things had been pawned was shown the photograph, and he remarked without a mement’s hesitation, “That's Arlington.” Morgan’s lawyers made a stubborn fight to prevent his being taken to Virginia, but were beaten and he was removed while still suffering from his broken leg to Staf- ferd Court House. Meanwhile Searcey had piloted the express company officials and the civil officers to the place where the greater part of the booty had been buried after the robbery, Morgan and himself having taken only a few hundred dollars. ——> At All News Stands.
