Accident to Southern Railway
Trains.

Two Southern Railway passenger
trains, one incoming and the other just
leaving the Sixth street station in Wash
ington, collided on the main track, be-
tween Sixth and Seventh streets south
west, at 1905 o'clock last night, and
the engine Of the outgoing train was de-
rallied. None of the passengers or train
men was injured and only the pilots OF
both engines were damaged. The col
lision was caused by a mistake in the
signals. The trains were scheduled to
arrive and leave at nearly the the same
time. Engineer Carey Crump, OF the
incoming train, stated that the signal in
dicated to him that the track was clear
to enter the station. Engineer Charles
Bruin, of the outgoing train, was as
positive that he received the signal to
phil out, and the locomotives met on
the curve half block east of Seventh
street. The curve prevented either en-
gineer from seeing the other tram, and
the engines were locking horns before
the drivers realized what had happened.
Fortunately both trains were moving
slowly. The passengers were slightly
shaken up and the contents of the bag
gage and express cars were putin disorder
by the jar The coaches of the outgoing
train were pulled back into the depot,
and the incoming train was backed away
from the point of the wreck. Other en-
gines were substituted and traffic was
soon resumed.

Police Court Items.

The cases before the Mayor this morn
ing were of trivial nature. Lucy
johnson, colored, had been arrested for
striking a small white boy with an oyster
shell. She said the complainant was one
of a party Of youngsters who had by
their conduct provoked her, and that
the missile she threw was lump OF
earth She was fined So
A young white man had been cited to
appear for assaulting colored boy.
The evidence showed that the com
plainant was one Of a gang OF colored
boys who were helping themselves to
the pears belonging TO the defendant.
The assault consisted in throwing the
boy on the ground. The case was dis
missed.
A number of individuals, white and
colored, had been cited to appear to
answer the charge of keeping unlicensed
dogs. Some had several CANNES on their
premises. They were ordered to take out
licenses Immediately and if they fail to
comply with the mandate of the court
they will be fined.

City Gas Works.

Another car load of material has been
received for the rebuilding Of the city
gas works, and it is expected that work
will be begun on Monday. The work
has been delayed on account Of the diff
ficulty experienced in obtaining material,
and in having it shipped here. Com
petition no longer exists between the
various pipe foundries throughout the
country as they are all in a trust and
consequently transact. business to suit
themselves. For example, some days
ago the clerk of the gas wrote letters to
number of northern firms and to one
at Lynchburg asking for quotations on
pipe etc. In response he received
notices that his letters to the northern
firms had been turned over to their
Lynchburg branch, and he would have
to order through them.

THE MYSTERY OF THE MASKED Wo-
MAN.-An incident which has just occur
ed in the law courts of Paris is causing
some stir there A wealthy widow, Mad
anne DeGast, well known on account other
automobile exploits, being the only
female competitorin the Paris Berlin race,
and who entered for the ris-Vienna
contest, was recently the plantiffin aciyil
action. The defedendant's counsel was
Maitre Barbour, who also is well known.
During the hearing Reproduced photo
graph of picture called "The Masked
Woman" by Gervex, which was exhibited
at the Salon of 1896, representing nude
female, the face alone being concealed
by a mask. VI. Barbour handed this
photograph around the court, he declaring
that Nine De CAST had served as the
model. Nine. DeGast made an
indignant denial and demanded a
retraction. NJ. Barbour took no notice
of her demand, and Nine DeGast has
now brough an action against him.
The Figaro says this is the second
time the picture has caused trouble
When it was first exhibited jealous
husband thought he recognized his wife
as the original and challenged NJ. Gervex:
The latter gave the name of the real
model, but the husband was not satisfied
and insisted on a duel, in which eventu-
allv he himself was wounded.
