The tiow of blood was stopped and stimulants administered, but he soen sank inte ap uneonscious state, and died at 5 o'clock p.m. Coroner Patterson was notified, and this morning held an inquest over the body, at the Ist precinct station-house, when the following testimony was elicited Dr. Alezander Mc Williams testified that he was called to see the deceased; attributed his death to the nervous shock. the result of his injuries. From the odor of his breath, witness judged that he had been drinking, bu he could not state poritively that deceased was intoxicated. “James H. West, who resides at 621 Virginia avenue, ‘estified that he saw the man aboat twenty minutes betore the eccident on the cor- ner of ith street and Pennsylvania avenue. He looked like a man getting off a drank. Witness did not see the car when it struck him. David Kelle testitied to being on the street, and te seeing the man approach when the train Was paring; a’so to hearing the brakesman cal! to him and warn himaway. The man paid no attention to him but kept on. Witness thought ke was safe across at that time, until he saw him struck by the corner of the car and thrown down. The brakesmar signaled to the engineer to stop the cars, but before that could be done bind wheels of the engine had over him. The cars were not going unusually fast. Wa. Wegner, the engi testified that the brakeeman gave the «i for stopping; at guce stopped the engine, and did not see the after the cars stopped. m, brakeman, testified that they aged in backing down some cars into the yard, when he saw the man coming across the track; hailed him when he was twenty reet from the track; he did not heed witness, bat continued on. when witness put the brake on and stopped the engine as soon as possible. The sil! struck him on the left side and he fell Witness tried to catch hold of him, but failed to reach bim, witness grabbed him and jerked bim out after two wheels had passed over him ‘The train had by this time stopped, witness got two pocket handkerchiefs and tied them around the man’s legs and took him to Mr. Du Barry's office and sent for a doctor. The fireman ran for Dr. Riley, but he was not at home, and af- terwards Dr. Hammett was found, who attend- » him. Cross-examined.— Witness warned the man in ample time for him to have got out of the way. Atter the signal was given the cars stopped in going their length; did not know whether there was any flagman stationed at this point: a switchmam was stationed there to change the Bwitebes, but never saw any flagman there. The man staggered when he approached the car. Jivrman Fischer testified that he had examined the body and identified it as that of Mr. William Waverho der, a cigar maker by trade, who had been working at Mr. Se’hausen’s, om 7th stre he bad a wife and six or seven children living im Alexandria, Va.; he was a pretty sharp drinker, Frederick Plugge testitied to the same effect. Mr. B. L.

Among our many readers there may be afew who are Boi to take the trouble to make a right royal dish of a fowl which is very com- monly desp'sed as untit forthe table. For their benefit we offer the following rec’ ‘derived from a chef de cuisine who isa FF schools of Paris at St. Petersburg. Select a young and healthy , well grown and in his lirst feathers. Feed him for one week on well- cooked cornmeal dough or stiff mush, and give him the free ran of the yard, with its sweet graes and abundant fresh water, to keep his liy- erin order: for you are not contemplating a ate. Then for two weeks feed on thoroughly iled rice. If chopped celery or paraley be mixed withthe rice, so much the better, but the rice alone will answer. Our bird is now ready for the kniie. Knock him on the head, and cut his throat tenderly, being careful to let him bleed freely. Craw him without removing the feathers. Then in place of the intestines, insert a large herring (Labra- dor preferred), wrap him in several folds of old linen or cotton cloth and bury him for five days under at least three feet of good clean clay soli. At the expiration of the five days exhume him, Temove the herring throw it as far as the strength of your arm will enable you to send it, or, better still, bury it from five to seven feet feet out of sight and smell of yourself and Next pick it hit ih him i ext pick your goose, singe him, wash him in many waters and wipe perfeetly dry. Put him then into a kettle, cover him (barely) with cold salt water, and let him boil gently for an hour or an bour and a quarter. While the is in process prepare the dressing as fol- : ‘Take of best pippins (other apples will serve, though not so well) a sufficient qaantity peel and core them, stick afew cloves intoeach and place @ small fiake of mace in each co When the goose kas been sufficiently boiled. | and of this the cook mast judge by inspection— cenery. | take it from the pot, drain carefully and fill with the prepa.ed apples, the liquor in which it was boiled being inthe mean time concentrated ag rapidly as possible to about one-fourth of the original quantity.
