INVESTIGATING COLLISION.
Said to Have Been Caused by Misinter,
pretat;on of Train Signals.

The officials of the Southern Railway
were yesterday engaged in Investigating
the head-on collision which occurred be-
tween two of their trains at the corner
Of Sixth Street and Maryland Avenue
about 10 O'Clock Thursday evening. For
tunately no one was injured. but some
delay was occasioned by having to send
following trains into and out of the sta
tion over the Virginia Avenue tracks
until the derailed engine was replaced
and the tracks cleared.
The collision occurred between north
bound train $40 from Manassas. due at
the station at 9:45 o'clock and train
533, the Florida special. The crew OF
the northhcund train state that they had
been given a red target requiring them
to stop on the single track on Mary
land Avenue between Sixth and Sew
enth Streets southwest, and while wait
ing for further orders the special. which
had been signaled that the track was
clear, wheeled around the curve. and
before 1t could be brought 20 a stand
still, the two engines came together.

MR. COTTBR'S CLAIM
OF ALLEGED NUISANCE
Mrs. Johnson's Land Said to
Be Washing Into Alley.
Recent Police Regulations Do not Con-
tain Important Law Governing
f,. Such Cases.

The District Commissioners recently
received communication from Mr.. J. D..
Cotter. of 1906 Thirtieth Street north
west. requesting that Mrs. Johnson. the
owner of abutting property, be notified
to take steps to prevent earth from
falling into the alley in square 1882. It
appears that this alley runs east and
west, just north of Mr.. Cotter's premi-
scs, and that the condition of the same
has been rendered more or less obtec-
tionable from the washing down of dirt
from the property OF Mrs. Johnson
which is above the grade Of the alley.
