Special Correspondence of The Evening Ster. HYATTSVILLE, Md., July 4, 1898. Albert J. Behrens, a well-known cigar maker of 707 I street northwest, Washing- ton, D. C., was struck by an express train at Highlands, on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, Saturday night at 10:20 o'clock and instantly killed. His body was fright- fully crushed and mangled. No one wit- nessed the accident, but it is generally be- lieved that Behrens must have been sitting upon the edge of the station platform wait- ing for the accommodation train to Wash- ington, and the probabilities are that he was asleep when the train thundered down upon him. The unfortunate man came from Washington on the 3:20 train Satur- day afternoon. He was very popular in this locality and had a number of custom- ers among the road house men in Bladens- burg and along the pike. During the after- noon he visited several of these places for the purpose of soliciting orders. Luter in the evening he stcpped in at the old High- land Club House, which is only a stone's throw from the station, where for some time he chatted pleasantly with Joe Hall. Scme twenty or twenty-five minutes before the train was due he started for the sta- tion, and that was.the last time he was seen alive. Less than a half hour later William Levey, who keeps bar for Otto Ruppert at the Spa Athletic Club, discovered a man- gled portion of a human body lying upon the track some fifty feet from the waiting room. Levey hurried to the nearest house, secured a lantern and dispatched a mes- senger for Constable R. H. Vincent of this place and A. H. Bailey, justice of the peace. Before long a jury was impaneled. It was composed of M. E. Shipley, fore- man; John Johnson, Robert L. Payne, R. B. Potts, Edward Parker, C. B. Green, Guy Barron, Augustus Baumann, Charles Par- ker, W. H. Keyworth and Herbert Crabster. For the distance of at least 150 from the waiting rocm the track w erally strewn with mangled flesh. P, the body were fcund scattered every few steps. In a portion of the torn clothing was a card bearing the dead man’s name and address, It was several hours before the remains were collected. They were then placed in a trunk and carried to the ertaking establishment of Francis Gasch in Bladensburg. The relatives of the deceased were noti- fied of the accident, and yesterday morning the remains were removed to Washington. An inquest was held this morning at the office of A. H. Bailey, justice of the peace, at Hyattsville. The conductor, engineer and fireman of train No. 525 were present and_ testified that they did not know any one had been injured until the train reached Washington, when blood was. found on the wheel truck of the third car. Several witnesses testified that they were within a few hundred feet of the station when the express was ap- proaching and did not hear the whistle. Jerry Johnson, colored, saw a man sitting on the platform a few minutes before the express was due. After some deliberation the jury rendered @ verdict that the deceased was killed by train No. 525 of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company at Highlands, Md., about 10:27 o'clock p.m., July 2. The casket containing the remains of the unfortunate man was brought to the city and taken to his late home. The deceased was forty-three years old and had lived in this city ell his life. He was kind and gen- tle, and his many charitable deeds will be remembered by those whom he had assist- ed. His mother and two married sisters survive him? The funeral of the deceased teok place this morning from his late home. Rev. Dr. Mentzel officiated. The pall-bear- ers were Albert Shreeves, 8. Connors, A. Wild, D.

The funeral of Hugh Fontelroy Henry took place yesterday afternoon at the his- toric Henry place. There are many persons in Washington and Alexandria who will re- member Prof. Henry as a teacher back in th: 50s, and who was regarded as one of the most popular professors of his day. He was born in Fauquier county, Va., Decem- ber 31, 1811. His father was Isaac Henry, surgeon in the United States navy, and as- signed to duty on the United States frigate Constellation when command2d by Commo- dore Truxtun, and was also one of the first six captains appointed by Gen. Was! during the revolution. Mr. Henry spent over forty years of his ~~ el a Ara ened he moved to the old homest: fen! where he resided until hie death: BAG “apes curred yesterday evening. He was buried alongside of his moth=r, Judith Henry, who was killed during the first battle of Manas- sas. The main battle ground was around this house, and here the contest for posi- 5 EMBLEMS CONFEDERATE Views of Leaders B ing B baad: Captured Battle Flags The Coming Reunion at Atlanta, Its Purpose and Personnel—Large Representation Expected. Captain Charles C. Ivey of the Confeder. ate Veteran Association of this city Nas received a letter from General George Moorman, adjutant general and chief of the staff of General John B. Gordon, general commafding the United Confederate Vet- erans, with headquarters at New Orleans, acknowledging the receipt of a copy of The Star in which was published recently an article on the efforte of the local asso- ciation to get Congress to return to the various southern states interested a num- ber of flags, captured by the Union armies at different periods during the late war. General Moorman, who is styled the mouthpiece of General Gordon, and whose views on the subject are said to be the same as those of the former, says in his communication: “The movement meets my hearty ap- proval and will receive all the assistance I am capable of. It will be a grand thing for your staff to come to the reunion charged with the duty of delivering back captured battle flags to the respective states. It might be made a matter of great national interest. Perhaps the Congress might send a delegation to return the bate tle flags to General Gordon, representing the veterans of the south. If this could be done, or if your camp Is the bearer of the flags, it should be known in advance, and publication made everywhere, as it would probably excite more interest than any sim= ilar event since the close of the war, and would be the means of bringing immense numbers of spectators as well as veterans to the Atlanta reunion.” Gen, Gordon's Purpe In a personal communication received in ‘Washington General Gordon states tt to be his purpose to devote the remaining years of his life to caring, so fav as may be possi- ble, for those confederate veterans who need aid and for the upbuilding and glory of the country. General Gordon further states that business of the greatest gravi- ty affecting the welfare of old veterans will be transacted during the next annual reunion, such as the benevolent care, through state aid or otherwise, of disabled, destitute and aged veterans, and the wid- ows and orphans of the fallen brothers in arms. In this connection he calls especial attention to the Increasing age, multiplied gor.ows and corroding cares of many of the gallant old soldiers, who risked their lives and fortunes for what they considered the right during the eventful years of 1861 to 1865. Through the mortuary reports re- ceived at the headquarters he is, he says, daily and almost hourly reminded that the jengthening shadows of time are fast set- tling over the old heroes, many of whom’ had already passed the age of manhood when, thirty-five years ago, they promptly and nobly responded to duty’s call. It is, he says, the chief mission of the United Confederate Veteran Association that these unfortunate sick, disabled and indigent comrades and brothers and their widows and orphans should have attention, care and such help in their old age as their more fortunate comrades can procure and give, and as their infirmities and misfortunes re- quire. This to him, he says, will be a labor of love, and to the carrying out of which he will devote his best efforts, and in the prosecution of which he appeals to all members of the United Confederate Veter- an Association who are able for thelr earn- est, prayerful, patriotic help. Business of Importance. Other business of the greatest importance will also demand careful consideration, stch as the care of the graves of the south- ern and unknown dead, buried at Gettys- burg, Fort Warren, Camps Morton, Chase, Douglas, Oakwood cemetery at Chicago, Rock Island, Johnston's Island, Catro and at nll other points; to see that they are an- nually decorated, the headstones preserved and protected, and complete lists of the names of the dead, wit!) the location ef their lest resting place, furnished to thelr friends and relatives through the medium of the camps, thus rescuing their names from oblivion and handing them down in history; the best method of securing im- partial history, and to enlist each state In the compilation and preservation of the history of her citizen soldiery, the consid- eration of the different movements, plans ard means to complete the monument to the memory of Jefferson Davis, president of the confederate states of America, and to aid in building monuments to other leaders, soldiers and sailors of the south; to give all aid possible to the Confederate Memorial Association in assisting to raise the money and to complete the gré@nd his- toric edifice and depository of confederate relics and the history of southern valo: popularly known as the “Battle Abbey: and, as there is no relief and aid for the veterars or their families outside of the members of the U. C. V. Association and the resources of the members to perfect @ plan for mutual aid and benevolent ass ciation; to make such changex in the con- itution and by-laws as experience may suggest and other matters of general in- terest. Again Gen. Gordon says: “It 18 believed that the war will in no wise interfere with the objects, purposes and plans of the reunion, as the aspirations of the United Confederate Vet- erans are, as stated in the constitution, strictly ‘sccial, literary, historical and benevolent.’ ” The Atlanta reunion committee, under the leadership of its chairman, Gen. Clem- ent A. Evans, is a body of very able and distinguished ‘citizens, who are fully alive to the magnitude of the work intrusted to them in entertaining and caring for thelr old comrades, and it will be their pride to = the most memorable reunion upon record, Other Rumors. Attention is called by Gen. Gordon *o the fact that the following reunions will be held at the same time: Of the survivors of the Confederate Navy, United Sons of Confederate Veterans, surviving Confed- erate Surgeons, surviving Confederate Chaplains. The Daughters of the Confed- eracy will also be present with their pres- ident, Mrs. Katie Cabell Currie. The total number of the U. C.
