Fatal Accident to Young Meade and

of Alexandria, and Henry G. Gooch,
of Richmond, at Acca train yards,
Richmond, at an early hour yesterday
morning, are still wanting. Nobody
seems to have witnessed the distress
ing accident and the Gazette yester-
day contained about all that is known
as to the actual facts in connection
with the killing of the young men.
The discovery of portion of Gooch's
hat on the pilot Of n Richmond, Fred
ericksburg and Potomac Railroad en-
gine, when train from the north
reached Byrd-street station yesterday
morning at l o'clock, was the first in
timation that an accident had occurred.
A yard engine was Immediately or
dered out and instructions were given
the crew to continue along the tracks
until the bodies were discovered.
About 1:30 o'clock the bodies Of the
young men were located short dis
tance from Acca, which is small
telegraph station. Both bodies were
badly mangled and were in the vicin-
ity OF the Richmond Forgings Corpo-
ration.
The mangled bodies of the victims
were found on either side Of the south
bound main line by the crew of yard
engine. Meade's handbag, the leather
side of which had been ripped open by
the force with which it had been
hurled against the ground, was found
some distance from his body. while
Gooch's hat was found about twenty
feet from his body.
The unfortunate young men had
been with two young men for few
minutes after leaving the train. THEN
| companions went into the fields i'm
mediately, but Meade and Gooch evil

time before starting. At this time
the train on which they had returned
to Richmond was just leaving Acca
and had started the heavy pull up the
incline which leads to the Seaboard
tracks. At 1925 o'clock the Atlantic
Coast Line train No. 81 is due. This
train evidently was on time, and, glid-
ing down the grade Of the yards on the
tracks of the Richmond, Fredericks-
burg and Potomac Railroad, it swept
on the unsuspecting boys before they
knew of it's presence. The noise made
by the other train is thought to have
drowned its approach.
Train No. 81 makes no stop in tho
yards, and generally goes through
them at high speed. The enineer, Ton
Brown, did not see the boys, anc
nothing was known of the accident
until the train arrived at Byrd stree
