THE DISPUTE ABOUT THE FOOT OF 9th STREET.

Symons recommendation relative to the
obstruction of the streets recently cleared
away by the high water in the Potomac. II
will be remembered that he recommended that
the police take measures to prohibits the re-
occupation Of 9th street. An order to this
however, disclosed the fact that the street in
question was not in existence in that locality.
but that the land was private property and
the order was withdrawn, subject to an opinion
from the attorney, to whom the matter was re-
ferred. Attorney Davis had the matter in
charge and has rendered the following opinion
relative thereto: 1--WE have uniformally main
tanned that 9th street should he regarded as a
street actual or potential to the southernmost
point, at which, II prolonged. IL would reach
the river. Accordingly we have never recog-
nized the possibility OF private ownership Of
any land lying or that may lie west Of the
eastern line Of that street. The District should
by all means insist upon this view and act
accordingly until the courts shall have decided
otherwise" Capt. Symons has notified the
police department. and requested them to
enforce the order.

Three Freight Trains Wrecked Near La

nvo or Thirty Lives We're Lost-Ten
Dead Bodies Recovered.
PITTSBURGH, Pa, June GA freight train
which left Latrobe at $50 a IN. Wednesday
with about forty-fve men coming from
Johnstown aboard collided on the
Pennsylvania railroad bridge near Latrobo
with an extra freight train. The
wrecked trains toppled over on another
freight train which was side-tracked on
the bridge, and thirty one cars went over
the bridge into the water fifty feet below
It is almost certain that twenty-five or
thirty people were killed and manv
others were hurt A carload of lime
In the center of the train was the last
to 60 down, and it was scattered over
the pile of shattered cars Then the de-
bris took fire. The work of clearing tho
debris was continued ali day and abandoned
at a. m. until to-day. Ten dead bodies
have been recovered Those of Engineer
Caldwell and George Fralich, fireman,
have not yet been found, but it is expected
that they will be reached before long The
injured, so far as known, number eleven.
The water in the creek at the point
where the accident occurred is about
twelve feet deep, and it is expected that
number of bodies will be found at the bot
tom of the creek under the wreckage
John H. Miller, fagman on the
freight, says that the proper signals
were given, and Engineer Caldwell an
swered, but the speed was too high. When
the 1ll-fated train left Bolivar about forty
workmen boarded her, but Conductor Barn
hart put them of: at Derry. When the train
left there a great many of them boarded
her again. Four of the injured taken
from one car said that eleven others
were in the car, and in another box
car, it is said by one of the res
cued, there were fifteen or twenty men,
One or two of the bodies taken from tho
wreck were terribly burned by the lime
which covered the wreck The loss to the
railroad company, it is said, will reach
100000.
