Struck by a Locomotive.
ONE NAN KILLED AND TWO OTHERS SERIOUSLY IN

A serious accident occurred yesterday morning
at Elkrfdge Landing, on the Baltimore ard Ohio
railroad, the engine OF train No. 27-an express
from Washington-running into and demo,ishing
buggy that was attempting to cross the track,
killing one man and severely injurfng the other
two occupants. George Kingsmore, Baltimore
livery stable keeper, had gone down to the farm
OF George w. Hobbs to negotiate for the purchase
OF a pair OF mules. The transaction being con-
OF the farmer, got into a buggy with Kfngsmore,
intending to accompany him 70 Baltimore to re-
ceive the purchase money. A colOred man en-
ployed on the farm, John Barnes by name, went
with them. When they reached Elkrfdge at the
point where the washington turnpike crosses the
railroad track the express due in Baltimore at IL
a.. M came rapidly round the curve, and in another
minute struck the buggy, tossing it over the depot
platform and down an embankment, throwing out
the occupants OF the front seat and driving the
cOlored man nearly one hundred yards along the
track before his body rolled aside shapeless,
bleeding mass OF mangled flesh and bones He was
instantly killed. Hobbs received a wound nearly
ten inches long across the Kidneys, the muscles
and flesh being literally torn away from the back
bone, and was much bruised about the head and
shoulders. lie was picked up and carried into the
residence OF his uncle, Marshall McCauley, which
stands near the track. kingsmore's injuries are
considered by DIR. Tongue OF more serious nature

The Pension Office Appointments.


The new appointments in the Pension Bureau,
has given rise to considerable newspaper gossip
On account of the ignoring OF the lady applicants
and now 1t is stated that in the next 400 appoint
mentS the ladies would have an equal share with
the men. reporter OF THE STAR called on the
Commissioner OF Pensions to-day and asked him
In regard to the policy OF the bureau In making
appointments. The Commissioner said: sWhen
this bill passed granting increase OF clerical force
IL passed on Its merits. / did not understand that
it was bill to give place to any one, but faci-
tate the business OF this Office. l acted on this
principle In my recommendation to the
secretary l had found that the clerical
1orce or this Office was in the proportion OF one
clerk to one examiner. l concluded to make the
experiment OF having two-thirds OF the force eX-
amlners and onc-thrd clerks, and so told the Sec
retary the character OF new material that l
needed. My suggestion was acted upon, and now
am going to see how 1t works If find that |
will need more clerks Will let the Secretary know
have already told him that l needed about
twelve clerks on the 1St OF September, and he has
selected them. l Will probably need a few more
about January 1st, and If the ladies' are good
clerks would 1u st as leave have them as the men.
But the main thing that Is considered is the inter-
eStS OF this Office and facilitating its work."

Two Sad Cases Of Drowning.


MR. CHARLES FORD AT BAY RIDGE Mr.. EDGAR s.
BROOKE AT LOWER CEDAR POINT.
young man named Charles Ford, a printer, en-
ployed at the Government Printing Office in this
city, was drowned yesterday afternoon while bath
Ing at Bay Ridge, on the Chesapeake bay, having
ventured out too far and meeting treacherous
current. Ford fought desperately to reach shallow
water and the sight was most distressing. A
young man named Conroy made an Intellectual at
tempt to reach him, and called for assistance from
the shore There were no provisions for such emer-
gencieS. however, and it was some time before
boat was sent out. third gentleman, IN the water
at the time, started out to assist him. and after
long delay the boat also put out, but when 1t
reached the spot young Ford had disappeared.
HAD prompt measures been taken by the employees
or the bathing department, 1t is thought that Mr..
ford could have been rescued. Mr.. Ford was
ABOUT 70 years OF age and came here from Fairfax
county, va, where his family resides.
Mr. Edgar s. Brooke, of this city, who for
several years conducted grocery business at the
corner OF 5th and / streets, northwest, was
drowned at Lower Cedar Point yesterday after
toon, having, against the advice Of his friends.

He had been in the water only few minutes when
he sunk, having 1t is believed, been attacked with
vertigo. His body was brought ashore, but all eff
forts at resuScitatiOn by Dfs. Allen S0theron and

body was brought 10 this city last evening Mr..

Did He Escape or Was He Drowned ,
8. PEAr ,, ON I,..n


1t was stated in yesterdays STAR that a white
prisoner named Noble escaped from the van at
the jail door yesterday afternoon to the East
ern branch, and jumping in was drowned. His
full name was George 4. Noble but he was better
known as Pent Noble He was committed for a
further hearing on the charge OF the larceny OF
gun from j. ID. Drury. Before being placed In
the van with other prisoners he was joined to
another prisoner with a handcufr. On the way
down Mobiles companion slipped his hand out OF
the fronS leaving them on Noble. When the van
backed up to the door OF the Jail Officer Harbin
took position on one side and the driver OF the van
i.icnaru ANDERSON, on the other. As Noble and
his companion got out both broke and ram Officer
HaIoln overlook his man after short run but
Anderson failed TO eaten up with Noble. who In a
few SECONDS reached the water and Jumped In.
Two parties In boat near by say they saw him as
ne approached the water throw his coat over his
mead, and 1t was thought from that action that he
intended to drown himself. It is not fmproba BILE
that he was attempting to throw his coat of so
that IL would not impede his movements in the
water. Noble has the reputation OF being an art
ful dodger. A lampllghter in West Washington
tive terms, that he saw Noble and talked with him
on High street shortly after O'Clock last evening
expert swimmer, eluded the officers by swimming
under water to some bushes, or some other place
where he concealed himself until the officers had
left the place. Unless the body is found, this
Theory OF the escape must be accepted as the cor
rect one.
George Parker, the colored burglar. was Mobiles
companion, the court having committed him for
The action or the grand jury. There are two wit
nesses who state that they saw Noble rise and
sink four times, but, perhaps he was diving. His
hat was found not far from the place where he
disappeared but that does not prove he was
drowned: In fact there are men In Georgetown,
VINO claim that he was seen there this morning.
Noble was before the Police Court yesterday for
the grand larceny of gun valued at 1925 from
Jas Drury, last December. The case was con-
tlnued, and he was committed to tal for furt her
hearing. Judge Snells attention was called TO the
case this morning by Prosecuting Attorney Moore,
VINO stated that there was some doubt as to
Whether the prisoner was dead Judge Smell di-
