The jury of inquest continued its inves- tigation of the killing of Joseph Waters Blundon, Guy Brown and Chas. Lynch by a railway train near Riverdale, on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, last Satur- day night, at 6 o'clock yesterday evening at the depot at Riverdale. The crews of express trains Nos. 509 and 9 and local train No. 170 were exam- ined. The first witness was Mr. J. H. Rob- erts, the operator at the block signal sta- tion, near Riverdale. His testimony was Lto the effect th&t about 6 o'clock Sunday morning he was informed that three bodies were lying near the railroad track nearly opposite Mr. Blundon’s residence. He ob- tained a leave of absence and went to the scene of the accident and saw the bodies of Blundon, Brown and Lynch lying on the west side of the railroad track. He telegraphed the news to Camden station at Baltimore. His hours of duty at the signal statton were from 7 in the evening till 7 in the morning. He heard no un- usual whistling last Saturday night, and stated that the local train from cau ton, No. 170, passed at 8:34, and No. 508, New York express, from Baltimore, passed at 8:35. Question as to the Time. Mr. C. J. Miller of Riverdale was then called and testified that he saw two trains pass each other near Blundon’s house at 8:30. The north-bound train was slowing up, but the south-bound train was not. Heard what might be considered an un- usual amount of whistling for one train, but not for two. He said the trains met where the boys were killed. Mr. Roberts was recalled and testified that he kept a record of the times the trains passed ,the signal station, and produced the records to prove his statement. The local train, No. 170, passed at 8:34, and 609 express passed at 8:35. Could not see where they passed each other. The express train, 500, was due at Hyattsville at 8:25, and passed the signal station at 8:35. It would take about one-half a minute for train to go from the signal station to Hyattsville. Local train No. 170 was about four minutes behind time. He testified that he heard no un- usually long blast. He could have certainly hea-d unusual whistling. Engineers and Firemen Testify. c. H. Burch, the engineer of local train No. 170 testified that his train passed River- dale about 8:35. Met the express train be- tween Riverdale and signal station. Saw nothing on the track. No unusual whis- tling. If the engine came in contact with a human being it would not feel the jar. He would not feel three boys with a sixty- ton engine. The headlight would cast light about thirty feet in front of* the engine, and he said that if two were approach- ing each other their combined lights would illuminate the tracks for a further distance. He whistled when the headlight fell within thirty feet of the whistling board. J. T. Reaseau, fireman on the same train, testified that he knew nothing about the accident. Heard no unusual whistling. Could not have felt the jar if train had struck the boys. The headlight illumin- ated the track for a distance of from one telegraph pole to snother. He had been employed by the railroad company seven years. On cross-examination he said that he couid not tell for certain how far the reflector would throw light. Samuel Wood, engineer of train No. 509, testified that he passed Riverdale at 8:35. He was on the lookout for the signal, and was also looking at the track. If the boys were in the light he could not miss them while looking at the signal. He said his engine was examined, but he saw no evi- dence of having struck anything. He said he saw nothing on the track. The lights of two trains meeting would be of no ad- vantage in distinguishing objects on the track. He met local train before blowing his whistle for the block. He always blows his whistle before he enters the woods. If he had seen the boys he could not have stopped the train in time to save them. He could not stop a train of four or five cars running at the rate of fifty miles an hour within 400 or 500 yards. He had been an engineer for nineteen years. L. E. Weaver, fireman of train No. 509, knew nothing anout the accident,and heard no unusual! whistling. He had been on the railroad fifteen years. It rained all the way from Baltimore on the night in ques- tion, and it was raining when he passed Riverdale. He had no occasion to look on track. He could see about fifteen or twenty feet ahead. He would not have felt a jar in striking the boys. He was looking out the left side of cab of the engine, and the train was between the target and River- dale. The smoke from the local train was bad, and he put his head in the window until it cleared away. He saw the target, and it changed after the smoke had disap- peared. The engineer blew for the target. ,Other Testimony. John Akehurst, engineer of train No. 9, following express No. 509, testified that he saw nothing on the track on thé night in question. He could see ahead of the engine about thirty or forty feet; when looking at the signal he could also have seen ob- jects on the track. George Weckel, fireman, train No. 9, tes- tified that he saw nothing on the track. There was no unusual whistling; the train only blew for the target. Rev. Chas. Alexander De Vaughn, a col- ored preacher, stated that he was at the Hyattsville station about two _ minutes after the local train had left for Balti- more.: He heard the train about Riverdale whistling, and it continued to whistle till it was in sight of Hyattsville. It did not rain till about 9:30. Chas. E. Barber, a passenger on the 9 o'clock train from Washington, testified that he heard a train near Riverdale doing @ great deal of whistling. He had been around railroads for several years, but could not state whether an engine striking a human being would cause a jar, the experience of people conversant with this matter varying considerably. Engineer Akehurst was recalled and stated that his train passed Riverdale about 8:50 Saturday night, going to Wash- ington. Mr. J. H. Ketner stated that it was not raining when he reached Rivérdale on the 8:15 train from Washington. There was considerable cross-examina- tion of the witnesses by the jurors and a lawyer named rrison, who figured as counsel in the famous Ainsworth case. There was a large gathering of people from the neighboring villages and a corps of newspaper men from Baltimore and Washington were in attendance. The Baltimore and Ohio railroad was also well represented. The Jury's Verdict. ‘The jury retired at 9 o'clock, and after an hour and a half of deliberation rendered a verdict to the effect that they believed that J. Waters Blundon, Guy Brown and Chas. E. Lynch were struck by train No. 509 on the Baltimore ard Ohio railroad, which ed their death then and there, on h day of July, 1895, at Riverdale, Md., or near thereto; and that the said acc!- 3 according to the testimony of unavoidable as far as the question of saving their lives !s concerned, but the opinion of the jury is that a proper examination of the engine at the station at the terminus would have disclosed the presence of blood or portions of the bodies, which might have resulted in a search being made, and the probable discovery of the remains in a more reasonable space of time. The Funeral of the Victims. The funeral of J. Waters Blundon and Guy Brown took place yesterday afternoon at 4 o’clock from the residence of Mr. J. A. Blundon, Rev. Fathers O'Conner of St. Ste- phen’s Church, Washington, and Gloyd of St. Patrick's Church, Washington, conduct- ing the services. The remains were in- terred at Mt. Olivet cemetery. The pall- bearers were Burroughs W: Of » C. J. An- derson, J. J. McCarthy, C. . Latimer, W. H. Combs and F. A. fat “Blundon and Brown were first cousins and intimate friends.. Funeral services were held over the remains of Chas. E. Lynch at the home of his brother, Mr. J. R. Lynch, about the same hour yesterday, Rey. Father Johnson, pastor of St. Jerome’s Catholic Church of Hyattsville, officiating. The pallbearers were Seymour Jones, Arthur Thomas, Clar- ence Springman and Lewis Carroll, The THE EVENING STAR, TUESDAY, JULY 30, 1895—TEN PAGES. body was conveyed to Mt Olivet cemetery and tempo! placed in a vault.

The Amalgamated Society and the Brotherhood Both Hold Sessions. The Washington branch of the Amalga- mated Society of Carpenters and’ Joiners’ celebrated its fourth anniversary last night. The meeting was the largest and most In- teresting that has been held in a long time. President Hargrave was unable to be pres- ent, but his place was ably filled by Mr. W. C. Brunger, who was selected as chairman pro tem. Mr. A. Murray was, as usual, secretary. Considerable business of interest to the craft was transacted. Among other mat- ters was the approval of a claim, which was ordered to be paid, of one of the mem- bers for the loss of a portion of his tools by theft, this action being taken because the member was entitled to the benefit un- der the rules-of the branch. A collection was taken up for a poor woman whose hus- band was killed by falling from a scaffold, and $6.25 was realized. At-the conclusion of the transaction of the regular business the members had a smoker, during which a number of speeches were made, in which those present were urged to do their utmost to build up the branch, both by attending the meetings regularly themselves and in inducing others to become members. The Brotherhood. ‘The regular weekly meeting of Local No. 190, Brotherhood of Carpenters and Join- ers, was held last night in their hall, No. 627 Massachusetts avenue. There was a large amount of executive business trans- acted and Messrs. D. J. McCarthy and Francis Flynn were elected delegates to the carpenters’ council to succeed Messrs. ‘Theodore Perry and Alexander Richard- son, who had been selected at a previous meeting and declined to serve. There was considerable talk in reference to Labor day, and it was generally understood that the members will either employ the Hender- son Drum Corps, a company of boys, most of whose fathers are members of societies of organized labor, or an out-of-town band to precede members in the parade, though the probabilities are strongly in favor of the former. There was also some talk about the Shugrue job. There has been no change in the situation there, and the impressiom among the carpenters is that Mr. James Connors, the contractor, does not intend to have any more stair work done until he can do it without interruption by non-union men. The committee, how- ever, reported that they have Mr. Shu grue’s assurance that he wants the work performed by union labor and will leave no stone unturned to secure that result. A report of the committee appointed to confer with similar committees from the other three organizations of carpenters in the city, with a view of possibly consolidat- ing the four into one society, made a par- tial report, and it was voted to have the entire conference committee meet in the Fall of Local Union No. 1) Monday night. In accordance with the rules a sum of money sufficient to pay Mr. A. Rossi, a member, three weeks’ sick benefits was voted. Mr. Rossi had been at work in New York, but was burt whil> at his employ- ment and was taken to a hospital, where he had to undergo an operation and where he now is. —_.—__ SALVATION ARMY CAMP MEETING. It Will Commence at Washington Grove Next Thursday. Washington Grove camp will be the scene,from next Thursday evening until the following Monday evening, of the first Sal- vation Army camp meeting ever held near Washington. The Salvation Army has been preparing for it for weeks, and expects as great a success as it has achieved else- where on similar occasions. It is needless to say that Salvation Army meetings are never dull and uninteresting, but the meet- ings to be held at Washington Grove, be- ginning Thursday evening and continuing mcrning, afterncon and evening until Mon- day evening,are to be unusually interesting. Brigadier and Mrs. William Evans, who have charge of the South Atlantic division, are coming from thelr headquarters in Philadelphia, and Brigadier and Mrs. Wm. Hunter, who have charge of the Maryland, Virginia and District of Columbia district, are comirg from their headquarters in Baltimore to conduct this camp meetin and they are to be assisted by a long li of officers of the army, headed by Adjutant Isabel Wceod and Captain Eva_ Dunlop, who have charge of the work in Washing- ton. There will be an abundance of good music and much eloquent speaking, and a variety which will make every meeting unique. The arrangements include a half- fare rate and frequent trains on the rafl- road to accommodate those who cannot stay at Washington Grove throughout the camp meeting. A number of the members of the Auxil- iary League in Washington and Baltimore will spend the five days at the camp. The Auxiliary League is to have one of the evening meetings, which will probably be under the direction of Mr. William Redin Woodward, the secretary of the league in this city, through whom the army re- ceived its invitation to hold the meeting at Washington Grove. Mr. Woodward and other well-known gentlemen in Washington and Baltimore will tell why they and six thousand other people in this country are members of the Auxillary League, and will invite others who desire to show their sympathy with the army and to support its work to join the league. A large at- tendance is expected from Washington, Baltimore,Rockville and the adjacent coun- try of others besides members of the league, Lieutenaat Chandler will have charge of the regular meetings at Salvation Army Hall, 930 Pennsylvania avenue, during the absence of Adjutant Isabel Wood and Cap- tain Eva Dunlop. ——._—_ The $2,000 Prize Story by Miss mney E.

AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN Preparing for Corner Stone Laying of New Grace Ohurch. —.” Other Notes of General Interest From Across Rock Creek Bridge— Social Notes. The corner stone of the new Grace rec- tory will be laid tomorrew evening at 6:30 o'clock by Rev. John H. Hiliott,D.D., rector of Ascension Church, Washington. The building is within the grounds of the church proper. When finished it will be a two-story structure, with stone founda- tion. It will cost about $3,500. Brigham ‘& Lowe are the contractors. The building committee representing the church is com- posed of Messrs. Jas. H. Caton, Jas. O. Caton, Lewis M. Goodrich, Wm. McShay and Chas. T. M. Baker. These gentlemen are putting in the foundation at their own cost. They have all been indefatigable workers for Grace Church. Several of them are vestrymen. The parsonage 1s being constructed large- ly through contributions made to the church years ago. Among the contributors were Messrs. John Marbury, Geo. T. Dun- ‘op and Miss Gough. The latter bequeath- ed $2,000 to the church for general ex- penses. The building fund proper, though, is but a remnant of the original contribu- tions made for the purpose. Years ago parishioners of St. John’s and Christ churches placed nearly $1,500 in the hards of the Christ Church vestry to use for the benefit of the projected Grace rec- tory whenever the congregation of the lat- ter church raised the sum to $2,500. Grace Church was then but a dependency of Christ Church. Two or three years ago, during Rev. Mr. Howell’s pastorate, Grace Church declared herself able to stand alone, and requested that the $1,500 be turned cver to her vestry. Rev. Mr. Stuart, the pastor of Christ and Grace also, re- fused to recommend this movement. Bad feeling was generated, and Mr. Stuart re- signed from his charge of Grace. To pre- vent, then, the money getting in the posse: sion of the Grace vestry, the Christ Church vestry voted it back to the original tributors or their heirs, The money was sent back accordingly, and about one-third of it was given directly to Grace by these original contributors. This one-third, with accumulated funds, is now being used in the church construction. Rev. Mr. Bowen is the present pastor of Grace Church. Republican Club. The third and fourth legislative district representatives (republican) will meet to- night at Ebenezer A. M. E. Church, O street between 27th and 28th, for the pur- pose of organizing a republican club. The object is not to favor any particular can- didate for the next nominating convention. The promoters merely desire to get in touch with all in the field. Later the best man will be indorsed. Georgetown prom- ises to take an active interest in the com- ing political fight in the District. Her sup- port will be strong. It is said here that the Georgetown re- publicans will in all probability favor new ood. Cleaning the Canal. James T. Richards, a canal division su- perintendent, has submitted to General Manager Nicholson of the Chesapeake and Ohio waterway plans for a machine to keep the grass out of the canal. The pres- ent one in use is not working satisfactorily, it frequently choking up and getting out of repair generally. At present the grass in the canal bed is at certain points six and seven feet high. The passage of boats in consequence is greatly retarded. Richards’ plan provides for a machine to be placed in front of a canal scow, said machine to have two knives, one working along the bottom of the canal and the other six inches above the bottom. They are to work on separate pivots, and the breaking of one will not interfere with the proper running of the other. It is said to be a vast improvement on the old one in use. The canal manage- ment as yet has not accepted or declined the plan. Notes. On Thursdiy evening there will be a garden feté in the grounds about St. Al- ban's Church, on the Tenleytown road.just above the Massachusetts avenue exten- sion, The church will be the beneficiary.
