ALEXANDRIA, Va, March is, 1903,
Morris Johnson. young brakeman on the
Southern railroad, met instant and terrible
death this morning about o'clock by fall
ing between the wheels of a shifting freight
train on the branch track on South Union
street. He fell through the space separat-
ing two freight cars, and his head and face
were crushed beyond recognition under the
heavy wheels. AS the train was moving
slowly, the accident was soon discovered,
and the body was removed from the rails
before many cars had passed over It. News
Of the unfortunate occurrence was sent to
the police, who in turn notified Coroner
William r. Purvis. That official, after WIS.,
iting the scene, announced that he would
hold an inquest. 1t will take place this
evening. il all the important witnesses can
be summoned by that time. The remains
were at once removed to the undertaking
rooms Of w. Domaine. & Son, in King
street.
Just how the accident occurred is not pos
itively stated, as the crew of the train
showed reluctance to saying anything
about 1t, but those who were on the spot a
few minutes later announce the opinion
that 1t was due to a defective brake 1t Is
said that while Johnson was engaged in
putting on brakes the apparatus slipped,
causing him to fall. At the office of the
Southern, on Prince street, it was reported
that the man was climbing down between
the cars, when he lost his footing 1t was
supposed, by reason of his shoe being
caught in the rounds of the foot ladder He
was unmarried, and boarded at 119 South
Fayette street. He had resided in this city
only few months. coming here from REM
the home of his father, Mr.. Thomas John
son. He was twenty-one years of age.

An portaut Conference.

At the Charities and Correction Con
ference in Richmond last week honor.
were literally distributed among
Sta untOnians. Prof. VIM. a. Bowles
was reappOinted on the executive com
/ mittee and chosen delegate to the
general conference at Atlanta, Ga.
with Mrs. E. w, Bissell as alternate.
w. u. Hoge was elected one of tie vice
presidents.
Mr.. Bowels reports most successful
and deeply Interesting meeting of the
conference, and says the results will be
far reaching in furthering and extend
ing and broadening the scope of the
work. The visiting speakers. DR..
Wines of Washington. DR.. Barr of
Elwyn, Pa, MIR. Brackett of BaIti-
more, and Othes, who are practically
familiar with the work, made a fine
impression upon the goodIy number
of delegates and the large audience
Mr. Bowles, who was cha rman of
the committee on the Care of the Fee
Ole minded, read practical, we'll pre-
pared paper, which was highly com
mended and elected spirited and
useful discussion. The Richmond
papers seem to think that bill will
shortly be offered in the Legislature
creating a State Board of Charities,
but Mr., Bowles thinks the time has
not yet come for that, and that the on
ward movement now in Virginia,
ought for the present, to be of the ma
ture of education of public sentiment
in that direction.
That is evidently wise view of the
subject. The Legislature is just now
1nstltutlng SO many new commissions
and calling for so many appropriations
that move IN the interest of an Or
ganizatiOn of this kind would not meet
with as much sympathy as it will
later.

Bad Wreck on the Southern.


Saturday night as train No. 50 of the
Southern Railways New York and
Florida Express was going South it
ran into an open switch at Ravens
worth, near Alexandria, and wrecked
the engine and mail car were thrown
from the track, killing the en-
gineer and fireman. From all appear
ances the switch had been tempered
with for the purpose OF wrecking the
train as the lock and light were gone.
The G.. 8 0. train due to leave Wash
ington Just before this train was late,
and but for that fact would have been
the wreck. 1t had among its passen-
gers Rev. G. S. Lingamfelter and wife
who were returning from Winchester,
where they had been with the remains
of Mrs LIS mother, who died in Cor
louisville.
