Harry Rapp, a twelve-year-old newsboy, had his left leg crushed this morning near the corner of 30th and M streets by the wheels of a cable car. The distressing ac- cident happened to the little fellow while engaged in selling papers. He jumped from car 212 on the inner side just as a train going in the opposite direction shot by. Whether the boy was struck slightly by the passing train and thrown under the one he had just gotten off of, or whether in his hurry he threw himself under the car, is not known. There was a shivering “ugh!” from passengers In both as he fell, the grip handles were violently grasped, the cars cane to a dead stop, and they dragged a bleeding little form forth. The left leg was crushed out of all shape below the knee. They took the boy into Brace’s drug store, at the corner, and in a short time two physicians were hard at work upon him—Dr. Louis Mackall, jr., and Dr. Clifton Mayfield. After preliminary attention had been bestowed ‘the maimed body of the boy Was conveyed to his home. There the sur- gical force was increased by the appear- ance of Dr. J. F. Moran. They laid the lit- tle fellow on a sofa, his leg bound to a board, and dressed it. Throughout it all he bore up with wonderful courage. At times he kept so quiet as to appear asleep. No opiates, either, were given him. The physicians stated this morning to The Star reporter that there was hardly any doubt that an amputation would be necessary, for the bones below the knee were com- pletely crushed. Harry Rapp is the son of Wm. Rapp, an employe of the Domestic bakery, at 736 10th street, and resides at the corner of 26th and I northwest. He was sent for as soon as the injured son was brought home. Car 224 was in charge of Gripman Geo. Dundee and Conductor R. E. Mather. —_.—_ DEFAULTER TAYLOR RETURNS. Says That He Could Not Have Been Caught in Years, A Pierre, 8, D., special says: Defaulting Treasurer W. W. Taylor reached here to- day. He expected that a special term of the circuit court would be in session and that he would be at once sentenced, but Judge Gaffey’s absence prevented. The Judge will probably call a sp>cial session Saturday, however, for the purpose. Taylor makes a statement in regard to his flight, in which he say: “I did not see a detective during the en- tire time, and none saw me, They claim they did not prosecute a vigorous search, and while I tra y they were still more dilatory. They did not trace me at all beyond Jamaica, but, I understand, are still in the Barbadoes, following a false clue which I laid for them. I did not go to South America at all and the reportg of det®etives about my wanderings after feay- ing Jamaica are pure moonshine us well as much of what they told earl I finally decided to come in and give myself up. Ail reports about pleadings of family and my friends are untrue. No asked me to surrender. The state had no idea where I was and ceuld not have caught me in years,” COMMENCEMENT SEASON A DOUBLE CEREMONY. Silver Jubilee and St. Cecilia’s Com- mencement. Metzerott’s Hall was the scene yesterday afternoon, as announced in The Star, of the twenty-seventh annual commencement exercises of St. Cecilia’s Academy, and in connection with these exercises the silver sacerdotal jubilee of the Rev.

Dr. Leech, the evening of July 2 was substi- tuted for that of June 25, at which time the subject “Public Sanitation” will be dis- cussed in all its bearings. Dr. Leech also called attention of the as- sociation to the wretched condition of the board walks leading to the city, and the chair instructed the lights and sidewalks committee to look after the same. A motion to donate the lamps belong- ing to the association to the District Com- missioners for use at the public school building was lost. The question of arranging a program for the Town Hall dedication was then taken up, and, on motion of Mr. J. W. France, a committee of three was appointed to look after the same. Messrs. Wood, Mewshaw and France were named as that committee. After some little discussion it was d cided to reconsider the action taken at a former meeting in reference to a communi- cation from Mr. Walter Vrooman of Balti- more, and Mr. J. S.

This morning about 9 o'clock there was an accident near the 9th street crossing of the Peansylvania avenue cable, in which the cable car “pick-up” and a covered car- riage were badly damaged. Judge Kim- ball was seated on the front seat of the grip car at the time of the accident, and he says that the motorman was entirely to blame. A herdic had stopped near the track, and this vehicle had caused the driver of the carriage to stop before his vehicle had cleared the west-bound track. As the cable train approached the crossing and the, motorman saw the carriage he yelled to the driver to move on, evidently expecting that he would heed the warn- ing, but for some reason the driver did not move, and the gripman did not apply the brake and release the grip until it was too late. The grip car crashed into the carriage and the “pick-up” was demolished. The carriage was badly damseged. but no one was hurt, INSOMNIA Mr. C. M.

Gladstcne has withdrawn from his pairing agreement with Charles Villiers, member of parliament, because he wishes to be re- garded as having an open mind on the Welsh church disestablishment bill. In aa editorial commenting on the above the ‘Times says: “Blow upon blow has fallen on the gove ernment recently, but none is comparable t® this, which means the withdrawal of Mr Gladstone’s moral support from ae a9 ry’s administration. Its effect Ditcaeat: The immediate prestige of his name has enabled the government to veather some dangerous storms, and it ts the very foundation of the pulitical fabrio of the present government. It is hardly possible to escape the conclusion that he extends his disapproval to their general policy. It is believed that he wanted @ more drastic dealing with the Armenian question. In any case, his act will comple! the disintegration of the government, and is a portent of dissolution that cannot b@ misconstrued.” ‘ ‘
