The driver picked the cl NEGLIGENCE. The sudden taking off of Alice O’Brien, the five-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James A. O’Brien of 1002 25th street, by being knocked down and run over by » wagon yesterday, as published in yesterday’s Stax, proved a terri- ble shock to the parents, The little child was killed so suddenly that she had no time to real- ize what had happened, nor did she experience any pain. As her body lay on a sofa in the dining room of her parents’ house there was ® peaceful expression on her pale face. Her blonde hair had been combed and curled only a few minutes before her frightful death, but it was then matted with blood from the’ wounds of the head. |The m ween ce of the dead. body war an affecting one. The husband and father had been called home from work, but not until he reached the house did, he realize the seriousness of the accident. Per- ley, the three-year-old child, who was with her sister at the time of the accident, was much improved this morning. She was not dangerously hurt. Her head was bruised and she was badly frightened, but beyond that ‘was not injured. She is being attended by Dr. Newman. ‘The funeral of the dead child will take place tomorrow morning. ‘THE CORONER'S INQUEST. Deputy Coroner Schaeffer madea post-mortem examination yesterday afternoon and held an inquest at the third precinot station this morn- 1°f,» driver of the wagon, Joseph McDonnell, was present at the hearing and he was repre- sented by Lawyer Chas. Maurice Smith. ‘The combination beer and soft stuff wagon, which did the damage, was in front of the sta- tion, and was examined by the jurymen. Thero was a bolt missing from a of the break,but it was claimed that that not interfere with the workings of the brake. ‘The first witness examined was a colored man Charles@ ohnson, who was on the on when the accident occurred. He testified it the little girls wore coming across the street when ho first saw them.” They stopped, and ey started to run across. ‘itness called to them, but they paid no attention to him, “and,” he said, “they Walked right square up into tho wagon.”* into the wena: or the: Nom?” quicied tis coroner. “The wagon,” he answered. ‘The proceedings were interrupted by the uncle of the deceased remarking, ‘He's drunk.” Ho wan cautioned against a repetition of the tn- terruption and the bearing proceeded. ‘Witness was questioned by the coroner and a juror and he said he was unable to say whether the horse's hoof struck the girl or not nor could ay which wheel of the wagon struck the ild. ‘Acting Coroner Schaeffer remarked tha while the remark of the uncle was uncalled for he thought it was founded on fact. JAMES LANNON’S EVIDENCE. Jas, Lannon, carpenter, who was working | on 25th street at the time of the accident, tes- | tified that he heard his partner shout, and when | he turned ~he saw the children lying | on the street. He picked up the dead child and | started toward the house. The mother came out and he handed the child over to her, Wit- } ness said that the driver assisted him to pick up | the child, and he (the driver) remarked: “Ob, | 7 Goa! it’s a terrible thing. What's to be fone? ‘The wagon si about 100 yards from where Untaetee tuned. wiles ono not tell how fast the an was going, for he did not seo the horse until after it had stopped. There were other children on the pavement. Dr. H. M. Newman testified that he was | called to the house, but he found that the child | was dead. The child’s clothing was saturated with blood and the skull was crushed. _ Witness could not tell whether the horse's foot or the wheel had inflicted the injury to the skull. THE MOTHER'S STORY. The heart-broken mother was next called, and she told, as best she could, the story of the ac- cident: “I got the two little babies ready to | practice a little piece,” she eaid, “and sent them over to the church with the other children. I} was watching them to seo that they got along ht. They had hold of each others’ hands and the wagon drove upon them. The sun was so strong that I suppose they did not see the ‘wagon coming along.” Witness could not eay what struck her first, but the wheel went over her head and wit- ness saw her roll over after the accident. The carpenter picked her up and brought her to- ward the house, In answer to a question by a juror she said that her children had separated from the others, but they did not stop, as the colored witness stated. ‘The wagon, she said, came down at full tilt and struck the child be- fore she (witness) could call to them. Mrs. O’Brien said that both the children had weak | eyes and rhe thought the strong sunlight af- fected them. “When I first saw the wagon,” said tho! mother, “the children were walking toward it, | and I was hoping to God that the wagon would stop.” HEARD THE DRIVER CALL. Philip L.. Rodier, carpenter, who was work- ing near the scene of the occurrence yesterday, testified that he heard a man on the wagon call | to the children, who were ‘going diagonally across the street. When witness looked up the children were fivo or six feet from the wagon, the smaller child, Perley, being in front. She ran into the shaft near the step and was thrown beneath the wagon. ‘The older Sister appeared, to be going after the younger one. Sho struck against. the same part of the vehicle, was knocked down and both wheels passed over her. ‘Ihe driver jumped out of the wagon before the horse “Was the wagon going fast?” asked a Juror. ng T gnuldn't tell how fast the horse was going.” e responded. There is a pi tty steep Picante horse wea ‘trotting.”” | From the testimony it appeared that the col- | ored man was sitting on the right tide of the | seat next to the brake. WHAT JOHN ¥. KANE SAW. John F. Kane testified that he saw the wagon fust after the accident. The colored man was seated in the middle of the seat. He had the reins in his hands and was calling “Whoa.” He thought that the horse had become frightened. {he animal was stopped for an instant about six yards from where the accident occurred, but near K ld up and handed it to Mr. Lannon. Witness picked up the other child. , Mark J. Foley testified that when his atten- tion was attracted to the wagon he saw a group of children crossing the street.

He had anticipated ‘Mr, Cleveland's selection, and would have been surprised only in the event of a different re- sult. i ‘The telegraphic arrangements between the White House and the democratic convention hall at Chicago were precisely the enme as those | with the recent republican convention at Min- | neapolis, but as the nomination of Cleveland peared frem the first to be a foregone con- clusion comparatively litte interest was taken | in the proceedingy of the present “convention, | ‘Phe President remained in his library until 10:20 | o'clock last night reading the bulletins of the | convention and then remarked to Private Secre- | tary Halford, who was his sole companion at! the time, that it would probably be at least two hours before the balloting began, and as he did not desire to lose any sleep over the mat- ter he would retire. The telegraph operators were thereupon excused for the night,-and the President heasd nothing more fram the conven- tion until he arose at his usual hour this morn- | fe then asked his valet if the convention had | reached a nomination during the night. The valet didn’t know, but said be would find out. | Soon after leaving the President he heard | the new.boys on the street calling out “‘extra” | and he bought a paper containing the angounce- | ment of the nomination of Mr. Cleveland on the first ballot. The paper was at once taken | to the President and gave him the first informa- tion he had on the subject. An effort was made by a representative of the Associated Press to induce the President to say what he thought of the nomination, but he courteously declined to say ing at all on the subject for publication. wa sana TO HONOR THE FENCIBLES. All the District Militia Will Turn Out to Welcome Them Home. When the National Fencibles arrive here on | Saturday evening they will find such an escort waiting for them as they never had before. Gen. Ordway is absent from the city, 60 Col. Clay of the second regiment is in command. This morning the colonel received @ telegram from the general authorizing a brigade parade—band, drum corps and all. Efery member of the D. C. N.

Domer and his company are having lots of fun at Indianapolis, The board of trade yesterday tendered them a reception at the Board of Trade Hall, and there was a big pa- | rade in which Indianapolis companies did es cort duty.

WHY THE DEFICIENCY BILL FAILED. Representative Bailey of Texas wasut the Cap-} itol yesterday. Had he been absent the defi- | ciency bill would probably have passed the House.
