Both Had Bad Regulations.

Both Robinson and Nalle had bad rep
utations in the vicinity of Takoma Park,
and have been in trouble on other occa-
SONS. Robinson. it is claimed, was sent
up to Rockville for six months about two
years ago for attempted murder. and as
soon as his time up returned to Ia
koma Park. He Is rather short and slender
and a much smaller man than Nalle. and
lived in Prince Georges county. About
a year ago Male cut up another negro
down at the Wildwood resort, the results
Of which nearly proved fatal to his VIC
tim. He Immediately left the park and
went down in Virginia to stay. He was
a widower and was a heavily built man.
He lived a short distance from the Bal
timore and Ohio station. Robinson is slight
ly over twenty-one years of age and is
three years OF age. Male had been en-
gagged doing odd jobs around the park for
the past ten or fifteen years. During the
past fall he had been employed by Mr..
George Beale.
After the shooting George Morgan was re-
moved to Freedmen's Hospital by Sergeants
Barry and Slattery, where 1t was found
he was suffering from a bullet wound in
the groin.
Friends of Nalle arranged with the town
authorities to make an effort to locate
relatives living in Pennsylvania. In the
event that they not claimed by rela-
tives his remains will be buried in potter's
field at Rockville at the expense of the
town of Takoma.

ACCIDENT AVERTED.
Presence of Mind Of Conductor Pre-
vents Possible Loss of Life.

Special Correspondence Of The Evening Star
FALLS CHURCH. Va. July Is. 1904.
An accident on the Washington and Ohio
branch of the Southern railawy in all prob
ability was prevented by Conductor King.
Between Glen Carlyn and Bancroft. Va,
there is a series of short reverse curves,
ending in a sharp curve at the foot of
a steep grade. The usual heavy Monday
morning Bluemont express, seemingly not
under control struck this dangerous place
at a high rate of speed. greatly to the
alarm of the passengers, who felt that the
train at such a speed could not ride the
last sharp curve at the foot of the grade
should it get that far without leaving the
track.
Approaching the danger, Conductor King
was compelled to use the automatic
emergency brake. although he had twice
signaled the engineer to bring the train
under control, 1t being claimed by the
engineer, afterward. that the air whistle
In the engine did not repeat such signals
1t is thought by the patrons of the road
that some action should be taken by the
railway company to prevent a continuance
of such recklessness on the part Of en-
gineers in order to make up time.
