way to have rescinded the order of cour.
forbidding the road from receiving trans
fers from connecting lines.

the court for modification of the order OF
May forbidding the receiver of the CITY
and Suburban Railway from carrying pas
sengers on the cars of that company upon
transfers issued by the Washington Rail-
way and Electric Company and other cleo
trio railway companies
The citizens of the District, argued Mr..
Server, have the right to intervene in the
quarrel between minority and majority
shareholders of the railroad company by
virtue of their direct material interest In
the effect of this order. inasmuch as 1t
increased the amount OF fare they are COM
PEELED to pay to be carried over the street
car lines in the District, as well as the CT
feet upon their property interests situated

and served by it,
Another point in favor of the citizens was
made that by act of Congress transfers are
required to be given by all connecting
roads.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT AT FAIRFAX
Express Train on the Seaboard Line
Wrecked Today.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


PORTSMOUTH, Va, May 31.-The north
bound express on the Seaboard Air Line
railroad. fourth DIVISION met with a serious
accident at Fairfax, S. c., at o'clock this
morning. The train was wrecked by run
ming into three box cars which had been
pushed out on the main line by a long
freight train which was taking the crossing
to allow the express to pass. Nobody was
killed. and one passenger only was at all
injured, although everybody on the train
more or less shaken up.
The injured are: Charles Parsons, engi-
neer. ribs fractured. internal injuries; an
named colored fireman, hurt by jumping.
bruised badly; unnamed mail clerk one rib
fractured; NJ. Smith, a passenger, back
wrenched. Meager details only have been
received at the general offices of the line
In this city. 1t Is apparent that the freight
train, being too long for the siding at Fair
fax, pushed the cars standing thereon too
far out on the main line, and that before
the northbound flyer could be signaled or
the cars gotten back on the siding the ex-
press crashed into them.
The engine of the express was derailed
and turned completely over. The escape of
the engine crew from instant death was
marvellous The mail car, which was i'm
med-ately behind the engine, was demoI-
ished and its contents scattered The mail
clerk, who was just ready to exchange
mail with Fairfax, was at the doorway at
the time the crash came
The accident ocured at the southern end
Of the switch about three-quarters of a
mile from the station which the train was
approaching at the rate of about thirty
mics an hour. An investigation will be
made by the officials of the Seaboard Air
Line.

TO DISCONTINUE FIGHT
WITHDRAWAL. OF THE PAPERS
IN PHILADELPHIA CONTEST.

PHILADELPHIA. May 31.-Counsel for
David Smyth. former director of public
safety and Peter E. Costello, former d.
rector of public works, VINO were deposed
by Mayor Weaver, To-Day visited the office
of the prothonotary of the court of COM
mon please and withdrew the papers in the
injunction proceedings brought against Col.
Sheldon Potter and A. Lincoln Acker their
successors This formally ended the legal
fight that had been begun at the instiga-
ton of the organization leaders against the
appointees of Mayor Weaver.
The hearing on the application for an
injunction restraining the new directors
from conducting the affairs of their depart
ments was set for 10 o'clock today.
A preliminary injunction was granted by
Judge Ralston. but it was suspended by
writ of special supersedeas granted by the
supreme court until after argument could
be heard.
The withdrawal of the papers means that
the Organization forces have decided to
discontinue, for the present, at least, their
fight on Mayor Weaver.
TO Vote for Confirmation.
Acting on the advice of Leader Durham
the members of select council who were
opposed to the mayor will tomorrow vote
for the confirmation of Directors Potter
and Acker.
No definite Information can be obtained
as yet concerning the future plans OF the
republican organization and Mayor Weaver
in the conflict which has resulted in the
apparent downfall OF Israel w. Durham,
the organization leader, and his associates.
There is no doubt that the men who have
been the mayors advisors from the time
of his break with Leader Durham are bent
upon destroying every vestige of the or
ganzation dominated by the insurance
commissioner and favor continuing the
fight against every man who was asso-
ciated with him. This Is evidenced by the
fact that the committee of seventy and the
committee Of nine. citizens reform organi-
cations, have announced their intention Of
placing an independent ticket in the field
next fall unless the regular republican
candidates for sheriff and coroner are
withdrawn and others substituted.
The candidate for sheriff Is Harry G.
Ransley, president OF select council
