TWO TRAINMEN KILLED.
Collision on the Southern in th

Collision on the Southern in the
Manassas Freight Yard.
Manassas, Va, Aug. 5.-A collision oc-
CURED in the Southern Railway yards here
this morning about O'Clock, in which two
operatives were killed and one engine and
two cars were completely demolished.
A southbound freight train was entering
switch from the main line just as a
north-bound detached engine stopped at
the Office for orders. The engineer was
given his orders and at the same time
warned that the other train was still on
the main line. At the same time he was
being tagged at the switch, but it is sup
posed he was reading his orders and did
not see the signal. At all events, he
crashed into the cars of the freight, tel
escoping them and hurting his own engine
down a steep embankment, wreeking it
completely.
The engineer, Thomas King. of Nokes-
vile, and his fireman, John Harris, col
ored, of Clifton, were caught under the
engine as il went over and were instantly
killed.
The track was torn up for some distance,
but this was soon repaired and traffic re-
sumed. The bodies of the two dead men
were sent to Alexandria and the wrecking
crew from that city came to remove the
debris.
None of the freight crew was injured
and that train sustained nc damage be-
yond the wrecking of the two rear cars.

The article in Friday mornings Times. headed
Transfer OF Auditors is interesting, but the
situation is somewhat different from that named
The work OF the office of the Auditor for the
Navy, presided over by MIR. Morris, is further
behind than it was when he appointed, over
two years ago. This may be due 10 the war
with Spain, but it is none the less the truth.
The transfer of Mr.. Morris is not pleasing TO
Auditor Brown any more than II IS 10 his
clerks, but Mr.. Morris has acquired the con-
idenee of Mr. Gage and Mr.. Nauderdp TO the
fullest extent and is regarded by them ''won-

the sense in which Mr.. Nanderlip, who is the
real Secretary OF the Treasury, views HIM
He was a member OF the committee that per-
netrated the time clocks, of which Mr.. Wander
lin was also Il member These were taken out
by an act OF Congress. While serving on the
committee Mr.. Morris acquired that confidence
of Mr. Vanderlip which has led 10 his transfer
TO a wider field. He has invented meaner
system of time keeping and has put 1t IN pFae-
tiee among his clerks. They, OF course, are
filed with glee at the prospect OF his departure.
Nothing could be any worse than the sneak sys-
tenn as created by him and enforced through his
instrumentality But If he Is to reform the
methods of the Office OF the Auditor FOR the War
Department so that but hall the present force
of clerks will be required. he Will soon be trench

roll OF clerks in that Office and the 'temporaries

Justice Cole Has Attorney UaIe's
Case Under Advisement.
The hearing on the application Of
Charles B. Hale to be released from Jail,
to which he was committed for contempt
by order of Justice Bradley in June last,
because of his refusal to obey an order
of the court in connection with the man
agement of the estate of Mrs. Josephine NJ.
Cooper, was continued yesterday before
Justice Cole sitting in Probate Court.
After hearing the testimony of the prisoner
and other evidence in the way of affidavits,
Justice Cole announced that he would take
the matter under advisement and give his
decision in the matter during the coming
week In the mean time Hale was re-
manded TO jail
The investigation began on Friday, but
was adjourned until yesterday in order
that Hale might be examined as to the
manner in which he discharged his stew
ardship of the Cooper estate. On the
opening day of the investigation several
affidavits made by Hale's wife and his
sisters-in-law, stating in effect that, his
family, consisting of a wife and child, are
in destitute circumstances. Affidavits by
other persons who know Hale stated that
in the opinion of the atlantis, If he were
would, in their opinion, make good the
shortage in his accounts.
The amount of the shortage is between
q 800 and 81, zoe. When Hale was called
upon to testify yesterday he made no hesi-
tation in admitting that he misappropriated
his wards money. He said that he spent
all of it in drink, and offered no other ex-
cuse. In reference to the statement that
he had purchased a pair of diamond ear
4 l.. u fnl1 ~
only thing which he purchased with the
money he took from Mrs. Cooper was a
sideboard for which he promised to pay
SO but only paid s. on account.
On cross examination by Attorney G. c..
Tucker, who represented Mrs Cooper, 1t
was developed that Hale's sistefs-in-law
are both employed, one in the Government
Printing Office and the other in the De-
partment of Agriculture, receiving $40 per
month each. Police Lieutenant Daley, OF
the Ninth precinct, was called to testify
and stated that when Hale's relatives lived
in the Northeast section of the city COM
plants were made against them by their
neighbors on the ground that they were
disorderly, and, as a result they moved
from that part of the city and are now
living in the Northwest section.
Attorney E. c. Colladay, who appeared
for Hale contended that. the contin-
ued confinement of Hale would serve no
purpose, except that of revenge; that he
had no property which might be converted
into cash, TO make good his shortage in
his wards funds but that If he were re-
leased he is willing and read* to go to
work and refund the money he has appro-
priated to his own use.
Attorney Tucker coHtended that, in the
face of the fact that Hale admitted stealing
the funds with which he was entrusted, 1T
would be bad precedenr for him to be re-
leased simply because after a brief con-
finement in jail he states that he mas
no funds with which TO make good his
shortage. ~

Exciting Experience of Passengers
the Potomac Boats.
One OF the severest storms OF this year
passed over Virginia and Maryland just
south OF Washington last night, char
acte1ized by a high wind and a brilliant
electrical display. The eScursiouists to
Marshall Hall and River Viesg had an
exciting experience while the storm LISTED.
The waters of the Potomac were lashed
into rough waves by the wind and many
OF the pleasure seekers on the unpro-
tected boats were drenched with the tor
rents OF rain which fell Tor almost three
hours.
The lightning was almost ineessant and
kept the river as light as day. The crash
of thunder came instantaneously with the

was reported to have been the most severe
In that section OF the country in many
years. At the resorts along the river trees

A UNIQUE CASE.
Lost Her Pension Right by Remnrry.
ing Her Former Husband

Lost Her Pension Right by Remnrry-
ing Her Former Husband.
The Board OF Pension Appeals has lust
decided one of the most unique cases ever
before the Pension Office. In 1897 Mary
E. Resser fled an application for a pension
as the widow of Charles w. Resser late
sergeant of Company H, Thirty ty-seyenth
Illinois Volunteer Infantry. Charles and
Mary Resser were married in 1871 and
were divorced in 1895. They were remar-
ried in 1886, and it was on the interestine
points involved that the Pension Office made
its decision. Applications for pensions were
also made in behalf Of two minor children
of the pair, under sixteen years of age at
the time of their fathers death.
The board held that the second union
was not a continuation of the first and that
Mrs Resser lost her right 10 a pension
by marrying her former husband after
1880. In that year a law was passed ex-
pressly excluding from participation in its
benefits such widows as have married the
soldiers on account of whose death the
claim for pension is made, subsequent to
the date of its passage The children also
lost their pensionable status when their
father and mother remarked in 1896.

YELLOW Fever OUTLOOK
No New Cases and No Deaths at the
Soldiers Home.
The Quarnntines at Newport News
Are Being vigorously Maintained-
The Only Change at Phoebus Is
for the Better-The Troops Leave
for Plum Island on the Mcclellan

Newport News, Va, Aug. 5.-There were
no new developments today in the yellow
fever situation at the Soldiers Home.
There were no new cases and no deaths.
The artilIerymen at Fort Monroe left to-
day for Plum Island. All of the local
quarantines are still being rigidly main
tanned and the citizens here continue to
volunteer night and day for guard duty.
All of the steamer lines from the north to-
day transferred their base TO West Point,
Va The first week of the yellow fever cpl
demic will close tomorrow. Some author
tiles say that there have been forty cases
and others forty-two. The deaths number
eleven. None of the other cases is regard
ed as fatal. In Phoebus the only change
has been for the better. The barber who
was stricken with the fever is much i'm
proved. 1t is understood that Surgeon
White is making arrangements to run a
special train out of Hampton tomorrow for
the benefit OF those persons who desire to
get away He has telegraphed Surgeon
General Wyman for instructions, advising
that there can be no danger in allowing
Hampton residents to leave.
The transport Mcclellan, which reached
Hampton Roads late last night from New
York, left this afternoon at 4 O'Clock with
Batteries C, G, and n, of the Fourth Ar
tillery, which are ordered to Plum Island,
Long Island Sound.
The Merchants and Miners Transporta-
ton Company this morning sent all of its
clerical force and its large gang of la
borers to West Point Va. Hereafter, until
the raising of the quarantine, the COM
pany will land all of its freight there. The
Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad also sends
the force in its westbound department
there. The freight from Baltimore and
Boston for the West will be unloaded at
West Point, shipped over the Southern to
Richmond, and there transferred TO the
Chesapeake and Ohio. The other lines will
adopt the same plans.

DIR. WYMAN's REPORTS.
The Surgeon General Believes the
Yellow Fever Danger Past.

The Surgeon General Believes the
yellow Fever Danger Past.
It is believed by Surgeon General Wyman
that all danger of the spread of Infection
from the yellow fever cases at the National
Soldiers Home at Hampton has passed and
no new cases are anticipated. According
to the reports received, the scourge has
been checked almost completely and will
soon have been stamped out. No new cases
have appeared during the past four days
and the werk of disinfection will be be-
gun today and carried on for some time un-
til all danger of fresh outbreak has
passed.
Dr. Wyman stated last night that he had
received nothing new from either Phoebus
or the Home and was confident that every
thing was going along splendidly. The
uuarantines and the Gordon will be enforced
for time until the last vestige of infection
has disappeared. The scare which pre-
vailed for several days has passed oves
and quiet reigns everywhere. The house

Phoebus has revealed nothing. The Secre-
tary of the Navy has detailed a steam
