the late Edward Baggett when he met
with the terrible accident described
above. A singular fatality has occur
red in his family. His uncle, Charles

at Monroe a long time ago and Thomas
KEYS, another uncle, met violent death
at the upper end of the Manassas diyis-

makes the third violent death which
has oyertaken members Of the family.
AS is always the case, there are sew
eral versions of the accident, and the
statements of eyewitness vary In
details. 1t seems from one statement
that the freight train had received
orders at Fairfax to pass two constructive
trains at Bdrkes. Upon reaching the
latter place ywo traits were seen ON the
siding. one was a feight and the Other
construction train. The crew OF the
freight assumed they we're the trains
they were to meet and kept on. Upon
reaching the curve near the scene OF the
accident Engineer Saunders saw the
construction train a head of him and
applied the emergency brakes. There
was no time to jump before the crash
came. Neither train was going fast,
but the impact was sufficient to cause
both engines to mount against each Other
and to place the tender of the freight
almost on end. The crew of the con.
