Probably But Five Killed.

Yesterday the accommodation train, due at
Parkersburg, w. Va, at lilo am, collided
with a special east-bound train, carrying Balti-
more and Ohio officials, at point between Pc
troleum and Silver run, 25 miles from here, on
the main line Of the Baltimore and Ohio road.
The accident was caused by wrong orders be-
ing given to the engineers. The special train
was ordered to pass the accommodation at Pc
troleum, the farther point east, and the accom-
mediation to pass the special train at Silver Run,
the farther point west At the time Of the COL
lision both trains were going 35sniles an hour.
They met on q sharp curve, and, without mo-
ment's warning, dashed into each other, wreck
ing both engines and baggage car, instantly
killing Engineer Layman, fatally injuring En-
gineer George Rowland, and instantly killing
the two fremen, James Fletcher and John
Bailey. One of the officials named Hunter was
badly and perhaps fatally hurt. A Mrs. Manley
OF Central, w. Va, was badly injured. Coun-
Gilman Robert Malley of Parkersburg was
cut and bruised. Baggage Master Rose was
cut. Acolored porter OF the special was thrown
through glass door and probably fatally in
1ured. There were some miraculous escapes.
The first reports Of twelve or fifteen killed, as
published in The STAR. were not confirmed
The accident was caused by the train dispatcher
at Grafton giving wrong orders. The accom-
mediation train carried but few passengers and
but one coach was attachnd to the special, OF
the loss Of life might hav8 been much greater.

THE JENNINGS ROAD.
improvements Which Residents In the
Northeast Hope to Secure.

The residents and property owners on
the road to Bennings are looking forward
with some degree Of hopefulness to the report
Of the commissioners. II is expected that
smong the many other recommendations which
will be incorporated Herewith will be one of
the utmost importance to northeast Washing
ton and its environs. The present proposition
% to have the commissioners estimate for a
sufficient sum with which to condemn at least
Is feet on each side of Bennings road from
boundary to the Eastern branch; to cut down
the banks which now carry q great deal Of
moisture from the adjoining land down to the
road; to raise the caBeway with the surplus
dirt, and to build an iron bridge across the
Eastern branch. For some time past it has
been evident 10 the most casual observer that the
old bridge has about reached the limit Of its
usefulness. In a little while an abattoir will
be built near Bennings which will give employ
ment to not less than five hundred men, and
The increase of traffic, which must result will

HUNGRY HOP WAH.
A Chinaman Supposed to be Insane
Turned Over to the Police.

At the sixth precinct station there is China
man locked up on suspicion that he is insane.
His name is Hop Wah, and in the absence of
any statement to the contrary his occupation
was recorded as that of laundryman His
age is stated at thirty years, although he looks
twice that old. He has long bushy hair, mus
tache and chin whiskers. Whether he is really
insane or not is not known, but the Chinaman's
appearance is enough to Brighten almost any
one From the information received by the
police Hop is more lazy than crazy, although
1t may be a case Of both. Hop Wah certainly
does not like to work, but his cousin, Chong Lee,
was of the opinion that he has too large
an appetite. Chong told Sergt Brosnan and
Officer Mansfield how much of his pro-
of eating without even doing any work.
Chong had become tired of feeding the
tramp" Chinaman and was anxious to get rid
OF him. All sorts of stories were circulated
about poor Hop. One was that he spent most
of his time in the parks trying to catch birds,
and another one was that he was dangerous
man and carried a knife. AS to the former
charge no one blamed him. for the parks are
pleasant places to spend an hour or two. and if
he caught any birds he could then have broiled
birds on toast As to the charge of his being a
dangerous man there is no proof. for Police
man Mansfield had heard the charge made
against him and he had searched Hop, but he
never found weapon of any sort upon him.
Hop does not speak very plain English and
probably for that reason his actions seem queer.
1t is evident that Hop will either have to 20 to
the asylum or leave town. his fellow-coun-
trymen do not seem to take much interest in
him. He will be examined by the police sur
geons. Hop is the first Chinaman who was ever
accused in this city OF being insane.

THE TENNIS TOURNAMENT.
The Complete Arrangements for tn,
Coming Events.


There il bright prospect that the open ten
mis- tournament which will be held here on the
18th of September will be one Of the most sue
cessful ever held in this city. The arrange
ments are under the direction Of representa-
tives Of the large tennis clubs of the city and
everything will be done to make the occasion
notable tennis event. While OF course at this
early date it is impossible to say how any of
the crack players Of the country will enter for
the tournament, yet there is good
ground for the belief that there will be a
good representation. The experience Of last
year was greatly enjoyed by the players who
DOk part In the tournament. The Country
them royalty, and when the tournament was
over and the players went home they ali
united In expressions of warmest commenda-
ton upon the hearty reception which had been
given them.
they will be entertained at the same place by
the residents Of the District interested in ten
mis-. One feature which was specially enjoyed
by the visitors last year was the fact that they
were quartered in the same house, where they
could enjoy each others society and at the
same time meet with the tennis players OF this
city and their friends in a social way. With
such pleasant recollections Of Washington
there seems to be no reason to doubt that all
who were here last year will come again this
year and bring others.
GENEROUS ASSISTANCE.
The gentlemen who have been arranging for
this tournament have met with generous re-
Spouse in their canvass for funds to guarantee
the outlay which tournament of this kind will
require. They have had no difficulty in get
ting the money which is needed and will be in
position to offer handsome prizes in addition
to other attractions. 1t may be arranged to
have some games played on the grounds OF the
Bachelor club in this city in order to accommo-
date those who may not be inclined to go out
to Highland. 1t is expected that the people OF
the city will evince their interest In tennis by
attending the tournament and give their finan-
cial and personal support to the effort
that is being made to advance the
Interests of tennis in this locality. Great
progress has already been made and the average
of playing has steadily advanced each year and
what is most needed is the generous patronage
OF the public. In the coming tournam mt an
opportunity will be afforded of seeing some
of the best tennis PLAYERS in the country.
In this respect Washington is unusually
favored

IRISH ESTIMATES.
A Stormy Debate in the British House
of Commons.

There was another stormy debate in the
British house of common last night over the
Irish eoimates. Tho Parnellites accused Mr.
Balfour of improper administration of the
prisons.
Mr.. Balfour, referring to the fact that Mr..
Conybeare had contracted skin disease in
prison, said the disease had been removed by
bath. The man who had occupied the cell
before Mr.. Conybeare had not suffered from
any disease. He had caused the prisons to be
examined, and no traces Of disease had been
found. Mr.. Blaine, an Irish member, told of
his own experience in an Irish prison, and said
the prisons were filthy. Mr.. Sexton said Lon
donderry Jail was "pesthouse were Irish pris-
oners were murdered" Several Irish men,
assassin" Mr.. Balfour showed great anger at
this and made a hot speech. saying he would
regard such attacks with contempt. Mr.. Rus
sell moved that the sanitary engineer be ap-
pointed to inspect the prisons. Mr.. Parnell
said the Irish prisoners were half starved, and
he confirmed from his own knowledge the state
ments that the prisons were in an unhealthy
condition. After further acrimonious debate
the estimates were adopted; lib to So.
