Crowd HurrIcs TO Scene.

News OF the accident soon spread
throughout Alexandria. and during the
day hundreds OF people visited the
scene and looked upon the debris.
Even before the bodies of the unfor-
tunate men had been removed several
hundred persons had gathered about.
Numerous amateur photographers were
on hand.
The railroad people yesterday after
noon held an investigation of the af-
fair. This took place at the Alexandria
office of the company, and was con-
Quoted by Supt. Emmert.
The crossing where the accident oc-
CURED is regarded as one OF the most
dangerous in Alexandria County. on
the south side of the tracks there is
an embankment about fifteen feet high.
and there is also considerable eleva-
tion on the west side. This makes il
next to impossible for the driver of a
vehicle going north to see an ap-
preaching train. Several years ago
colored barber named Dulaney, of
was killed at this point
while driving buggy across the
tracks, and many others, it is said,
have had narrow escapes.
The question of getting the railway
company to place a watChman at this
crossing was taken up by the Alexandria
Association at a recent meet
ing, and the secretary was instructed to
write a letter to the railway company.
