SPECIAL ALEXANDRIA -AFFAIRS Five Persons Injured in a Railroad Acci- dent. A Wreck Caused by a Landslide— Defendant in a Liquor Case Acquitted—Notes. Evening Star Bureau, No. 121 North Washington street, Alexandria, Va., February_6, 1897. Train No. of the Washington, Alex- andria and Mount Vernon Electric rail- road, which left Washington at 11:20 o'clock last night, in charge of Motorman Gregg and Conductor Allen, ran into a landslide near the power house, and was derailed and almost demolished., Five per- scns are injured as a résult of the acci- dent—Mrs. Edward Cogan, cut on forehead and face by broken glass; Harry Arnold, leg cut ard bruised; Ferdinand Knight, hand cut; Conductor Allen, fingers cut and arm sprained; Motorman Gregg, right side injured. In no case are the injuries thought to be serious. The train when it left Washington had on board about eighty passengers, men, women and children. It was going at its usual rate of speed, and had slowed up some as it approached the power house, when Motorman Gregg saw a large black object on the track about twenty yards ahead. He immediately reversed the motor and put the brakes hard down, but the train was too close to the huge mass of dirt and stone that had fallen across the track. In a moment it was struck. The lights went out, the train rolled over on its side and the motor car across the track. For a moment all was quiet; then rang out on the midnight air the shrieks of the ter- rcr-stricken women and children. Men climbed out of the cars by every available opening, only to return for the women and children, who were frantic with fright. It tock but a short while to rescue all, but it could hardly be realized that in such an accident no one was killed. The railroad authorities immediately had another train made up, and the injured and other passengers were taken to their homes in Alexandria. Today the injured are doing nicely, All the glass in both of the cars was broken out. In the trailer the passengers on one side were thrown violently on those on the other side, and it is nothing short of a miracle that somebody was not killed or seriously injured. Motorman Gregg said, in speaking of the accident, that it was one of the orders of the company to shut off the current just before reaching the point where he struck the boulders, and the passengers all say he did this, as they noticed a perceptible decrease in the speed of the train. The train was running about twenty miles an heur when it struck the obstruction. Saw the boulder ahead,” said Motor- man Gregg, “and immediately reversed the motor, put on the air and used my best ef- ferts cn the handbrake, but it was too late. We were too close.” The motor car was knocked across the track, and it was some time before Motor- man Gregg could extricace himself from the wreck. No blame is attached to the train employes in connection with the ac- cident. Just where the wreck occurred is a deep cut, and it is thought that the heavy rains of the last day or two caused the dirt to loosen and fall down on the track. The cave-in occurred between 11.20 p.m. and 11:35 p.m., as a train passed this point safely at 11:20 p.m«-A gfng of men was immediately put to ,work to clear the track of the tons of dirt,,an]d joday paesengers, were transferred at the scene of the wreck until 11:45 o'clock, When the track was en- tirely cleared, andothe#sirst train went through to Washington.i' The trains are now running on thelregutar schedule time. Baltimor¢ Not,Guilty. The case of Frank ‘Baltimore (colored), who runs a small eating’house on North Fayette street, opjdsite, the local depot, was before the maygr lag} night at a spe- cial session of police courtz upon the charge cf selling liqvor without a lHcense.

Word was received at the Navy De- partment last evening that the batile ship Indiana, which started out from Hampton Roads Thursday morning with Admiral Bunce’s squadron to participate in the mock blockade of the port of Charleston, returned to Hampton Roads unexpectedly yesterday afternoon. It turned out that no accident had oc- curred, but that the-mechanism to keep the big turrets from moving had again shown signs of weakness, and Capt. Tay- lor had put back as a matter of precau- ticn. The ship showed the same weakness last fall during the northern cruise. ‘Acting Secretary McAdoo made a state- ment on the subject, in which he said: “When the Indiana went out this time she had with her a new locking device for her turrets, lately put on at New York, and which was intended to remedy the trouble she had the last time she put to sea in heavy weather. This present device has three times the strength of the former one. Very properly, the officers of the ship ryland, of Go- Staten Islands, New Jersey. 2 New York (outside of N.Y.
