A RAILROAD COLLISION.
The Usual Result OF the Attompt OF
Two Trains 20 Pass Each Other on
the Same Track.

The Usual Result OF the Attempt OF
Two Trains 20 Pass Each other on
the Same Track.
Two telcscoped locomotives, two sadly
damaged tenders and several injured rail-
road cars arc the result of the attempt of
the engineer CT engine No. IL, Baltimore
& Potomac Railroad, and Of engine No. 10,
Virginia Midland Railroad, to pass each
other on the single main track on Maryland
avenue, between Ninth and Tenth streets,
this morning about 7:30 o'clock. During
the greater part of this morning large
crowd was assembled on Maryland avenue,
near tho Eleventh street crossing, viewing
the damaged locomotive and baggage car
belonging to the Virginia Midland Road,
which had been sidetracked. Tho loco
motive and cars ofthe Baltimore &c Poto.
mac Road had been taken to the shops
about 1890 o'clock, but enough devastation
remained to fascinate the crowd.
From various sources, tho railway em-
ployes being not disposed to throw much
light upon the matter, IL was learned that
tho Virginia Midland train was about
twelve hours late coming in on the time for
the morning train instead Of last night.
The engineer claims that at the Eleventh
street crossing he had one minute in which
10 TEACH tHO Nlnbu-StTCcb CTOSSlnB, anu, con-
sequently, was about on time. 1t was
claimed that the engineer of the Baltimore
e Potomac train, which was the 7:20 local
to Alexandria, was seventeen seconds be-
hind time and was trying to mako up. The
Virginia Midland engineer claimed that as
soon as the approaching train was seen he
reversed his engine and brought II almost
to stop, but that the other dashed on into
him.
Whether the fog was so dense this
morning that Davis could not SEQ the other
train or what tho reason was, the fact
remains that terrific col
lision occurred. The engines were tele-
scopcd, and the fronts of the baggage
cars crushed in. Only one man is known
TO have been injured. Flo Is said TO have
been Mr.. Skidmore, an employee on the
Midland train, who had his shoulder or
collar-bone dislocated.
II cannot be learned that any bell was
| rung. 1t is the custom of engineers not to
ring their bells at crossings 1t is claimed
| that to do SO would disturb tho residents,
but certainly those who have OCCASION to
cross the tracks on dark or foggy days have
some rights Of protection.
The loss sustained by this mornings acci-
dent will,be considerable, as the locomotives
and cars are unfit for use aud must undergo
| extensive repairs.
