TOOK THE WRONG ROAD.

Attention has heretofore been directed
TO the fact that Automobiles and drivers
of vehicles on their way from this city
to Washington upon arriving at the ap.
prosch to the overhead bridge, short
distance north Of this city, often turn to
the right instead of to the lett, for the
reason that there is no sign or eteciric
light 10 indicate at which point the turn
should be made. A few nights ago a
large automobile containing party from
Washington who had been visiting this
,ity, spon arriving opposite the bridge,
rned to the right and were proceeding
srspid gait eastward on Slater's road
Nrd the Potomsc river. People living
al the neighborhood succeeded il stop
ping the automobile with lanterns, after
which the party we're directed to the
right road. A man in charge Of a team
made a similar mistake few nights ago.

WORK OF VANDALS.

Employees of the Southern Railway
Company we're yesterday engaged in
placing the finishing work upon the con-
crete coping at the western end OF the
Wilkes street tunnel. They placed iron
supports on the Fairfax street front OF
the same. Between nine and ten o'clock
last night some persons removed one OF
the support and cast it into the mouth Of
the tunnel. Apart from committing a
misdemeanor by destroying property,
the perpetrators might have made them
selves responsible for derailing train,
IS there was a likelihood of the iron sup
port falling upon the railroad track.

Charles Weiss, thirty years old,
hr,,her Of Amelia Weisr, who was with
Johu w. Muller, when he was assaulted
aod probably fatally wounded late Suo-
dsy afternoon in Dead Mans Hollow,
ebouta quarter Of mile west Of the
Aoaeducl Bridge, was positively identi-
fed by Mullen last night IS his ssss.lant.
Weiss. who is the eldest brother OF the
sixteen-5 esr OLD girl. 6as takfr, With
fou7 other men o! about the same
build aud similar appearance, before
MulIea on his cot in the Georgetown
University Hospital, and he was posiu-
yely identified. He was brought from
the first precinct TO the hospital in the
custody of Desk Sergeant Gray.
Weiss declares be is innocent, and
claims be can prove an abb. His face
turned pale when Mullen positively
identified him. There was silence iori
a moment. aud all the willis Mullen's
eyes rested fxedly upon The man he had
accused.
Weiss advanced to the side Of the cot
at the suggestion Ct Mr.. Mackey and
GRAINED the wounded mans hand.
"This is the first time ever saw you.
am innocent" Weiss said. NOV,
il YOU have any doubt, say 80 in the
presence of these people and relieve me
of blame. You're on your death ted
now. aud for Gods sake do not condemn
me tor something l have not done"
"No; you are the man; | am p'sitlve.
You shot me, and you know it," Null
len answered quickly. Mullen although
weakened and suffering great pain, was
cool and collected.
Mr.. Mackey again talked with Mullen
who insisted that he had made no mis-
take. He told Mr.. Msckey that be cot
one good glance at Weiss while the lat
tor. he said, was clubbing him when
he held the revolver against his face
before firing it into his mouth. Mullen
SAYS that after be had been beaten al
M s, into insensibilily the girl remarked:
"You have beaten him enough. Now,
for Gods sake, let him alone.
HMy brother is not guilty OF this
crime. 1t is negro and he ought 10 be
Iynched," asserted Miss Weiss 10 an H.
terview
I'm had no chance to see what IT,
men looked like anyhow" she continued
"He was shot to the ground and fell
upon bis face. The man who was
negro, had a dark cap pulled over bis
forehead. lie held me a prisoner for
halt an hour, and fought to know what
he looked Ike more than anybody"
Charles Weiss is still being held in
WashiDg'on. The impression in the
county is that he caught his sister ard
Mullen 10 a compromising position and
attacked The latter.
