TEMPTING PROVIDENCE

Since the drowning of woman a
short distance north Of Shepherds a
few weeks ago, attempts are beng
made by the government to enforce
certain laws concerning the operation
of motorboats. That many people
who engage in cruises in such craft
arc not only incompetent but often IN
no condition to navigate boats WITH
safety to themselves or others Is OF
ten apparent. A boat from Washing
ton with several merrynpakers aboard
concluded to make stop in the south
eastern section of the city yesterday.
All the occupants, including seven
teen year old boy, had been drinking
and were showing the effects Of larry
Ing long with the wine. They at first
rammed the wharf and subsequently
ran their boat ashore. 1t was pulled
off by other boats and later proceeded
to Washington.

ALEXANDR|AN KILLED.
Engineer Thomas G.. Beach Dies
From Injuries Received in
Collision

Engineer Thomas c. Beach, of this
city, received injuries from which he
died Saturday night and 40 or more
passengers were cut and bruised
when the Southern Railway limited
train No. 60, Atlanta to Washington,
collided head-on with freight engine
in the Pomona yards near Greensboro,
n. c., at $40 o'clock Saturday after
noon. The wrecked train carried be-
tween $50 and 400 passengers, and
was running at high speed. Engineer
Beach applied the emergency brake
$50 yards before the crash and jump
ed from his cab. Fireman Clnksdale
jumped and escaped with slight in
juries.
The wreck was caused by the en-
CINE Of train Sc taking an open cross
over switch, throwing it from the
northbound track onto the southbound.
Less than 200 yards from the open
switch the freight engine stood.
The operator declares that Engin-
Ger Beach disrcgarded danger signal
Officials state that the accident was
due to an open switch, the RESPONSE
bility for which has not been deter
mined.
Engineer Beach had been in the SER
vice 80 years and Saturdays was his
first wreck
His remains were brought here yes
terday afternoon and taken to his late
residence, 3O3 North Alfred street
The funeral took place at $3.50 o.
clock yesterday afternoon from his
home, Rev. Edgar Carpenter, rector
of Grace Church officiating. The fun
eral was attended by delegation of
members of the Brotherhood of Loco
motive Engineers, Of which order the
deceased was member.
Mr.. Beach was fifty-ninc years old
and is survived by his wife and two
sons-S. Edward Beach of Washing
ton, and Harry i. Beach, paymaste1
in the United States navy.

MYSTERIOUS FIRE.

The burning Of the house Of Eugene
Fisher, at Arlington Heights, early
yesterday morning and the narrow es-
capes from death Of Mrs. Alice
Fisher and her four children while
Fisher himsef was being badly
burned has caused considerable COM
ment in Alexandria county, and an
investigation is in progress.
Fisher reportedthat his family had
been destroyed in the fire while he
was asleep.
Mrs. Fisher and her children were
taken to the home of Mrs. Margaret
c. Martin, in Washington. 1t is said
they told a story entirely different
from the one related by Fisher.
Considerable mystery surrounds
just what did happen prior to the out
break Of the fire. Mrs. Fisher and
her children refused to give an ac-
count of how the house caught fire.
The house occupied by the Fisher
family was the property Of Mrs. FL
len Glover, and was valued at about
$500. 1t was not insured. 1t was a
one-stOry bungalow, and was located
next to the Hume School.
