in the Republican squabble in New Jer-

with the views Of the President. and has
been urged 20 make this sacrifice. He has
given, ~ yet, no definite answer but

SAVED BY A MIRACLE
h. 4 0. Express Tender De-
rallied Near Silver Spring.
STRETCH OF TRACK TORN UP
Passengers, Carried Along at Sixty
Miles an Hour, Escape with Only

Town ON TrOIIey-BrOken Wheel
FlanEe Cause of the Accident.

While nearing Silver Spring Station
about noon yesterday at sixty-mile-an-
hour rate. one of the wheel hanges Of the
tender attached to train No. Of the Bal
timore and Ohio Railroad broke COM
pletely of, deraiilng the tender.
Miraculously, the derailed tender ran
along on the ties until the train could
be brought 20 stop. and the long line
of crowded coaches in the rear escaped
injury. More than 500 ties were cut in
two by the terrific ride of the tender.
The train, known as the Chicago, Wheel
ing. and New York Express, was run
ming at full speed on a down grade. and
II is nothing short Of providential that
the whole line Of coaches were not piled
up into a mass of debris or thrown down
the embankment on either side Of the
track.
When the express was passing Wood
side Station the engineer felt the engine
give a sudden lunge, and Immediately ap-
piled the air brakes. bringing the train to
a stop as soon as possible
Passengers shaken Up.
AAAt uAiAlil ALUM VI Allt III t-AtS wan LAAN
first intimation the passengers had that
anything was wrong. Knowing that the
express made no stops on that side Of
Washington Junction. they wondered why
.tscy were stopping at Silver Spring Sta
ton
When the truth of the situation finally
became known. the large number Of pas
sengers aboard the train were all well
aware OF the grave danger they had just
been through. The long line of severed
ties up the track for a distance Of sew
eral hundred yards showed the reason for
their sudden stop.
Investigation showed that after the
fang, had broken off, the car had slipped
of the rails and ridden for nearly quar-
ter of a mile on the ties.
Engine IA Heavy One.
Fortunately the engine hauling the
coaches was one Of the heaviest on the
road. and its weight had been sufficient
TO prevent 1t from leaving the rails. and
probably causing a disaster which would
have equaled that which occurred on the
night Of December 80 last. a short dis
lance down the track az Terra Gotta.
when farty-three passengers were killed
Immediately. news Of the accident was
sent to the train yards. and a wrecking
train was hurried on its way TO repair the
damage
The passengers Of the express were
transferred 10 a local train. which was
hurried 10 the point, and were brought TO
this city, having suffered but a few min
utes delay by the accident. Others walked
to the electric car line at Silver Spring
and finished their journey by trolley
More than 100 men were Immediately
put 10 work repairing the track where
the wheels Of the tender had wrought
| havoc, 1t being necessary to replace al
the several hundred ties.

COLUMBIA LAUNDRY BURNS.
Building Is Wrecked-LOss About
$1,000; Partly Insured.

At 1870 O'Clock this morning fire was
discovered in the rear Of the plant OF
the Columbia Laundry. at First and G
streets northwest. and before the several
fire companies. which responded to the
two alarms, were able to get the flames
under control the entire building had been
wrecked
The FIRE was discovered by Fire Marshal
Daniel c. Eberly. who turned in the
alarm. Several streams of water were
brought into play. and after few min
utes the firemen had the fire in check. so
that the adjoining property was no longer
In danger.
Investigation made by the firemen
failed to reveal the cause of the fire,
although it is supposed 10 have Origi-
mated in the engine room of the plant or
somewhere along the chimney conducting
the smoke from the engine boilers. The
building is the property OF Clarence f.
Sauers. Although no one was present at
the scene who knew of the contents of
the building, 1t is estimated that the loss
Will amount 70 about S1,C0e a part of
which is said 10 be covered BY insurance.
