Shortly after four o'clock yesterday afternoon a delivery wagon and a bicycle came together at the intersection of King and Royal streets, and the rider of the latter, Eugene Talbot, 37 years old, a carpenter of Fairfax county, was seriously injured.

His right arm and two ribs were broken and he received several bruises. Dr. Warfield was passing at the time and he had the injured man placed in his automobile and carried him to the Alexandria Hospital. The wagon belongs to J. H.

Crilly, wholesale grocer, and was in charge of Webster Quander, colored. The latter was subsequently arrested by Officer Roland on a charge of reckless driving, but he was later released, Mr. Crilly becoming his surety for his appearance before the Police Court. Talbot was unable to appear this morning and the investigation of the case was postponed. According to the statements made, the delivery wagon was proceeding east on King street, the horses trot ting and was lew lowing cne soutn sicie until it reached street, where the driver turned north.

In doing so, it is alleged he turned too far to the left and Talbot, who was proceeding south on Royal street, was unable to clear the wagon. THREW VASE IN A WINDOW Some disorder occured at a late colored people on Henry street, opposite the Southern round house. While the row was in progress Moses Watson, colored, knocked at the door of the house, when one of the male inmates appeared with a vase in his hand which he threw at Watson. The latter picked up the vase and hurled it in a of the house. It struck a child, cutting its head, which augmented the disturbance.

Officers Beach and Wilkinson apepared and arrested Watson, but they were unable to get the man who threw the vase from the house. Watson was fined in the Police Court this morning. In his defense he alleged that he went to the house as a peacemaker and that the negro appeared with a vase in one hand and a razor in the other. lie also alleged that he was struck on the side of the head with the vane. He failed, however, to show any cut on his cranium.

ACCUSED DISMISSED 4 I A special session of the Police Court was held at four o'clock yesterday afternoon to investigate the case of C. L. Morris and Rixey Embry, who had been cited to appear at the instance of Fulton McLeary, who suspected them of taking and a gold watch which he alleged he placed under his pillow on the night of July 28. As no evidence was produced to show that the two men had anything to do with the! disappearance of the money and watch they were dismissed. On the morning of the 29 ultimo McLeary reported to the police that the money had been stolen from room in the boarding house at the northwest corner of Duke and Patrick streets.

Plunging down a steep 25-foot embankment shortly after 11 o'clock last night, an automobile owned and operated by Crandall Mackey, Commonwealth's Attorney for Alexandria county, and containing Mrs. Mackey and the two Misses Mackey, turned two complete somersaults, and landed on top of Mr. Mackey and the two girls, in the bushes at the bottom of the ravine.

Mr. Mackey was pinioned to the ground by the steering wheel, while the two girls lay stunned from the force of their fall, in the tonneau of the car. Mrs. Mxckey leaped from the machine as it toppled over the side of the road, and escaped with a few bruises. Mr.

Mackey's shoulder was painfully injured. The car was demolished, but after help had arrived and Mr. Mackey and his two daughters had been lifted to the road again, it was found that Mr. Mackey alone had been injured seriously. The party had a remarkable escape from death.

The accident occured while the Mack evs were returning home from a festival of the Cherrydale Fire Engine Company. Turning into the Rock Hill road which leads up a steep hill to his house, Mr. Mackey had no difficulty in keeping the road until within a hundred yards of his residence. At that moment a large touring car came tearing over the top of the hill, and the large headlights blinded Mr. Mackey.

In a moment his car went off the road, at a point known as Dead Man's Hollow, where several serious accidents have occured. A flame was seen to start from near the gasoline tank. Mrs. Mackey fled up the road screaming. Then the driver of the automobile whose headlights had caused the accident slid down the embankment and extinguished the flams.

Several other men arrived within a few minutes, and succeeded in freeing Mr. Mackey and his two daughters, and the family proceeded to their home, a few yards away. BIRTH WATCH The advent of Oliver Twist, who first saw the light of day in an English poor house, was not anticipated with as much interest as is the coming heir of John' Jaedb Astor. For several weeks the posthumous offspring of the victim of the Titanic disaster has been an object of comment. An army of reporters hunting the stork is something New York never saw before and Fith Avenue's interest is about equally divided between the doings of the newspaper contingent and events in the Astor mansion where Col.

John Jacob Astor's porthumous baby daily is expected. The old order of things has been reversed. The "death" watch bans of city editors has been supplanted by the "birth watch." The Astor mansion has been surrounded since it became known that the important heir was expected to arrive soon and bulletins in all the newspapers chronicle the arrivals and departures of family physician, specialists, nurses and relatives and the daily automobile airings of Mrs. Madeline Force Astor, the girl widow of the Titanic.
