A Sleighing Party Run Down by q Railwa
Train and Nine Killed.

ST. LOUIS Jan. 20.-A little before o'clock
last evening party Of twenty-five started out
for an evening of enjoyment of the sleighing
furnished by the recent heavy fail of snow. OF
these eight are now in the morgue and nearly all
of the rest are in the hospital. The party was
made up of members of The Clover Leaf Fish
ing Club. They we're all in one conveyance-a
large fOur-horse sleigh. Starting out about
7:45 p.m., after an evenings drive they went
to Demonico. q road house near Forest Park.
Partaking of a lunch tho party reassembled
at l030 for the return home. The drive was
commenced with gaiety, but fifteen minutes
later at the Sarah street crossing Of the Wabash
railroad the accident occurred.
A Wabash special train. chartered by local
Legion Of Honor lodge, was returning from an
evening spent at Fergus thirteen miles out.
Tho train in charge Of Engineer jas. Blanch-
field. Fireman Murphy and Conductor Robert
Dalton, was moving about twenty-five miles an
hour, tender first. Owing to this last fact, the
| engineer did not see the seighing party until
fairly upon them. The tender struck between
| the pole horses and the sleigh. killing two OF
the horses and throwing the occupants out OF
the sleigh in every direction.
So great was the shock that two of the in
| jured we're afterward found on top of the cab.
| The train was stopped within 800 yards of the
/ crossing and returned to the scene, where the
Legion OF Honor excursionists aided in gather
| ing up the dead and wounded BY this time
| the mounted police were on hand and, taking
charge, they ordered the dead and wounded
placed upon the train. This was done and all
taken to the Union depot, whence the wounded
were taken to St. Marys Iafrnary and the
dead to the morgue.
All the dead but one have been identified.

A SUBURBAN RAILWAY.
A Hearing Before the Commissioners
Bill Recently Introduced.

Hearing Before the Commissioners on
BIZ Recently introduced.
Another railroad hearing occupied tho at
tention of the Commissioners at the mornine
session of the board this morning. Senate bill
709, authorizing the incorporation of the Dis
trict of Columbia Suburban Railway Company
was taken up for discussion.
Mr.. Charles E. Creepy. in behalf Of the com
pany, stated that the bill was almost identical
with the one favorably reported upon BY
the Commissioners to the last Congress
The difference was that instead Of run
ming on Maryland avenue to the line
Of the Capitol the road stopped q,
the old toll gate at 18th street, thence passed
south along 18th street to Tennessee avenue
west along this avenue to Lincoln Park
west along Lincoln Park to 1Ith street
northeast, south on this street to North
Carolina avenue, thence west to the intersec-
ton Of North Carolina and Pennsylvania ave,
nues. He stated that tho reason
for The change was tho objection OF
posed to the occupany Of Maryland avenue
with q railroad. Investigation disclosed the
objectton::of several other Senators to the &C.
cupancy of Maryland avenue, and it was con-
cluded best to drop Maryland avenue and seek
another route. g
A petition was read from the property own
ers on the north side OF Lincoln Park protest
ing against the occupancy Of the north side Of
the park on account OF tho narrowness Of tho
street.
Mr. Creepy stated that this could be avoided
by running two tracks around the park, one on
each side. This, he thought would remedy all
difficulty in that direction.
Gen. Eppa Hunton and Mr.. Gilbert Meyers
also spoke in favor OF the road.
Mr.. VIM. ]. Frizzell called attention to sec
ton Of the bill relating to the rate OF fare.
He read the section, which provided that the
company could charge 5 cents per passenger
for any distance within the present corporate
limits of the city and 10 cents for
each passenger one way outside the
city limits He. was not in favor Of
this section, he said. and il should be
changed to read that the rate Of fare shall be
cents for any point within the District. A
liberal construction Of this section would allow
the company to charge faro Of Is cents tc
Mt Olivet THIS vas manifestiy unjust.
In replying Mr.. Meyers stated that the com.
pany would accept the suggestion aud make the
tare cents TO any point within the District
Unless some unforeseen objection arises the
Commissioners viii fAyprably report the bill.
II was also advertised that bearing on thu
Warrington and Bisdensburg Railroad Com
pany would take place today, but NO one beins
present to advocate or protest the bal va
placed on record for consideration.

who was awarded 5575 per acre for parcel OF
| little over three acres Ut land on the Military
| and Milk House Ford roads.
MIR. Matthews protested against what he con-
sidered an outrage. He stated that two years

| aging commission had offered Linn $3.50 an acre
| and that he had refused an offer OF u 900 an
acre.

the ground at from $1,000 to g. coo an acre,
and Mr. Matthews claimed that his land was
| more valuable than some near by appraised by
| the commission ut 81 900 per acre.
Mr. Lambert, after tho usual noou recess,
took up first parcel No. 81, belonging to Mr..
Samuel NJ. Jones, the award for which he
| claimed was inconsistent when compared with
the prices awarded for neighboring lands
1t In scarcely to be wondered, Mr.. Lambert
said, that Mr., Jones sought an interview with a
member Of the commission and that he had
| filed an affidavit to the effect that Mr.. 6euferle
had said the commission thrust aside the testi

was abundantly Justified by an examination oil
