Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.
ALEXANDRIA, Va., November 14. 1900.
The Washington, Alexandria and Mount
Vernon Railroad Company has taken steps
for the prosecution of the men who com
mitted a murderous assault upon Conductor
Samuel Park and Motorman Mike Monroe
on an electric train running from this city
to Mount Vernon between 9 and 10 o'clock
Saturday night. Warrants will be placed
In the hands of a constable of Mount Ver
non district. Fairfax county, for the arrest
of at least three men charged with the of
fense. Representatives of the company
went this afternoon to the home of a
county magistrate for the purpose of hav
ing the warrants sworn out.
The electric train which left here about
9 o'clock Saturday night for Mount Ver
non and way stations In charge of Con
ductor Park and Motorman Monroe con
tained a large number of passengers. in
cluding several ladies. When the train had
proceeded' a short distance below the city,
the conductor states, he was requested by
one of the male passengers to put a stop
to the singing of some colored women In
the rear of the ear. The official Informed
the women of the objection that had be'n
raised to their sbngs, but It seems that his
manner was not sufficiently severe to
please the passenger who made the com
plaint. A controversy between him and
the conductor followed, developing into an
assault upon the latter, in which he was
knocked down and severely beaten. The
assailant drew a pistol and struck the
conductor over the head with the butt end
of the weapon.
Others Join in Assault.
Two other men, the conductor stated.
joined in the assault upon him. One of
these was a son of the man who com
menced the trouble, and the other was a
friend who was traveling with the two.
The affray inside the car attracted the at
tention of Motorman Monroe, who came in
from the cab to the assistance of the con
ductor. He. however, was savagely at
tacked and knocked to the floor. He was
then rushed out in the cab and prevented
from taking any further part in the affair.
When the conductor regained his feet he
found himself confronted by his three as
sailants, who were threatening, he stated.
to kill him. By that time the car had been
deserted by many of the passengers, and
there was no one in sight upon whom Park
could call for assistance. Facing a pistol
and threats of murder, he was compelled to
flee. He succeeded in eluding the men and
gaining the protection of some trees near
the track.
From his hiding 'point he saw the men
searching for him around the car, which
was then stationary, and heard about a
score of pistol shots. The motorman was
then allowed to proceed with the car and
the conductor remained near the place until
the return trip, when he was taken aboard
and brought to this city with a badly bat
tered face. Motorman Monroe also showed
the effect of the rough treatment he had re
ceived.
Damage Done by Storm.
'Considerable damage to telephone and
telegraph poles and wires was done yes
terday by the heavy 'hnow and wind stornd
which swept over this city. The agparatus
of the city electric light works was so crip
pled that Superintendent Kirby was com
pelled to abandon the attempt to light the
streets last night with tie arc lamps. In
consequence the city was without illumi
nation last night. excepting the tight from
street windows and a few gas lamps. By
reason of the telephone wires being down
all over the city telephonic communication
was almost suspended.
