Nations Capital

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 30.-An appal-
ling disaster resulting in the death, as
far as can be learned at midnight, of
thirty-eight persons and the injury OF
fifty more, occurred about $40 o'clock
tonight on the Baltimore & Ohio rail-
road at Terra Gotta, suburb Of Wash
ington.
Frederick City, Md, local train No.
g. on the point of starting from the
station, was run into by train made
up of eight empty passenger coaches
bound from the west for Washington.
1t is said that the engineer of the
empty train had failed to see the red
signal indicating that another train was
in the block, and plunged ahead on his
mission Of death. ..l4, ;s
Fog Prevented Seeing Signal
A dense fog and a drizzling rain pre-
vailed during the day and the night,
and to the inability of the engineer of
the rear train to see the signal showing
that another train was in the block is
attributed the cause of the accident.
The grade at the place where the
tragedy occurred is downward and the
tracks were slippery.
The Frederick train, which is run OH
Sundays only, is largely for the accom-
modation of those who have gone into
the suburbs on Sunday and for the ben
eft of churchgoers who desire to attend
services in Washington at night.
Presumably a number of the latter
were on the train. The train lie
scheduled to reach Terra Gotta about
6:15 O'Clock, and was about on time to-
night when the crash came.
At first, owing to the impenetrable
fog, 1T was impossible to determine the
extent of the disaster, and early rumors
placed the number of killed at higher
figures than those which proved later
to be accurate
Many who had relatives killed and in
jured remained at the scene until the
special conveyed the dead and injured
to the city,
Wounded Taken to Hospitals
An earlier train that had been dis
patched to Terra Gotta brought the in
jured whose wounds had been hastily
dressed and they were sent to various
hospitals. Three died on the way to
the city and one death occurred in one
of the hospitals.
The engine of the rear train is said to
be one of the largest and latest types

Ex-United States deposits. s., 447. $50 de-
crease, 10000
The Financier this week says: Last
weeks official statement OF the New
York associated banks showed a very
narrow margin Of reserve; the surplus
was not entirely extinguished as was
expected from the heavy loss of cash
which was indicated by the preliminary
estimates, tended 70 relieve much anx-
iety. The cash decrease was S4.369. 300.
while the majority OF the estimates
seemed to foreshadow a loss OF nearly
900 Such estimates We're based upon
a drain Of about five millions to the
interior. including transfers to San Fran
cisco and the absorption Of 2-3 millions
by the sub-treasury, making 8 2-3 mil
lions, which was only partially offset by
receipts of new gold through assay Of
flee checks. The discrepancy between
the estimated loss OF cash and that
shown by the statement IS not suscepti-
BILE of reasonable explanation. The gen.
eral deposits decreased S11. 800, which
amount closely agreed with the sum of
the decrease in loans and the loss of
cash so that the statement made a good
proof
The required reserve against deposits
decreased S2.s4S.625. deducting which from
the loss Of cash left 81. 420.476 as the reduc-
ton in surplus reserve to 81, $50. 400. Com
puted upon the basis of deposits, less
those of $10.313,O00 public funds, the sur
plus is 81. Al. $50. Loans were contracted
by 1882. 200 indicating either free can
cellations as the result of liquidation of

the market was doubtless due largely 10
concern regarding the showing of the AS

The known movement OF money for the

estimates very strongly suggested a COM

would prove an offset 20 this drain.
