A young daughter of Mr. P. A.

In company with her mother ard two other children Gracie called to see her father. While the others were conversing she wandered to the elevator shaft, and without warning fell to the bottom, a dis- tance of about twenty-five feet. When picked up by the almost distracted parents the little girl was epparently lifeless. After being removed to her home a physician found that she had sustained a broken arm and severe internal injuries. The condition of the little one today was extremely critical, death being expected at any moment. _ Accidentally Shot. A fifteen-year-old boy named Charles Vernon, who resides with his father, Bur- ton Vernon, at 1220 Maryland avenue southwest, and who is a nephew of Lieut.

REMAINS SCATTERED ALONG THE TRACK The Bodies Not Discovered Until Yesterday Morning. TESTIMONY AT THE INQUEST ‘The killing of three boys on the Baltimore and Oh‘o railroad track at Riverdale, short- ly before 9 o'clock last Saturday night, by a Royal Blue express, going to Washington, created considerable excitement among the people of Riverdale, Hyattsville and the ne‘ghboring villages yesterday, and caused the deepest sympathy to be felt for the par- ents of the unfortunate victims. The boys who had met their death in this horrible manner were J. Waters Blundon, aged thirteen years, son of Mr. J. A. Blundon of Riverdale; Guy Brown, aged fifteen, son of Mr. Wm. R. Brown, who is engaged in the grocery business at the corner of 20th street and Pennsylvania avenue, in this city, and Chas. Lynch, aged fourteen years, brother of Mr. J. F. Lynch, a carpenter of Riverdale, whose father resides at Roches- ter, N. ¥. The boys had been to the home of Tom Lancaster, a colored man, res‘ding on the west side of the track, just below the signal tower, to purchase pigeons from his little boy, and were on their way home when they were struck by the train. As their bodies were found lying close together almost in a ditch on the west side of the track oppos:te the residence of Mr. Blun- don, early Sunday morning, it is generally supposed that the boys were walking on the east track, and in getting out of the way of the 8:15 local train from Washing- ton stepped upon the west track and were struck by the Royal Blue express from Baltimore, which is due at Hyattsville at 835 p.m. Ne one saw the accident, or knew anything about it until early Sunday morning, and the bodies, consequently, re- mained by the side of the track all night. The Bodies First Discovered. John Garnier, a colored man residing in the neighborhood, who was on his way to Mr. Wright's at Riverdale between 5 and 6 o'clock Sunday morning, was the first one to discover the bodies. They were lying on the west side of the track, opposite Blun- don's house, when he saw them. One body was lying on top of the other, and the third, with the legs broken, was lying close by. A portion of the skull belonging io the bedy with the legs broken was lying some ten feet away, and brains and blood were scattered along the ties. and side of the track. Two dead pigeons were near the bodies. He did not recognize the bodies, but hurried to Mr. Blundon‘s house and in- formed him of his discovery. He visited several other places and made known his discovery, and then went to Dr. MeMill- jan’s “and informed him of the accidert. Mr. Blundon quickly repaired to the scene of the accident, and was almost heart- broken to recogtiize the’ body 6f his son among the victims, Justice Carr of Hy- attsville was sent for, and shortly after 6 o'clock the magistrate arrived upon the spot. Mr. Carr informed The Star reporter that the body of Lynch was in the gutter, and that Brown’s body was lying on top of Blundon’s. Portions of the skuils of Lynch and Brown were found in opposite directions some distance.from the bodies, and the brains an@ bleod:of the. boys were scattered about. Bailiff mene waa also on the spot, and states that picked up Pieces of the skulls some ety’ Peet trom where the boys were struck. He also pick~ ed up nine cents. The three bodies were lying close together and Lynch's legs were broker. Lynch was in the ditch and Brown's head and arms were over Blun- don. D. Rueben said that he visited the place about 6:30 o'clock, and that Blundon was lying on his stomach, with Lyneh be- low and Brown above htm. The top of Lynch's head waS cut off,-Brown was cut under the eyes and at the nose, and Blun- don was cut in the forehead. Others who viewed the remains say that the top of both Brown and Lynch's heads were cut off, and that Blundon was badly cut on the head over the ear and temple, and had his arm raised as if to ward off a blow. Grief of, the Relatives. After Justice Carr._had looked at the bodies, Mr. Blupdop bad those..of his son and Brown rempyed «to, his house. Mr. Lynch had his brother's remains taken to his home. Mrs. Blundon, who was quite unwell at the time, “was’ terribly grief- stricken when she heard of her son's death. Dr. Wells was sent for and attend- ed her. He said that, in his opinion, she bore her sorrow with wonderful fortitude. Mrs. Brown, the mother of. the boy. who was killed, has been staying at Mr. Blun- don’s for two weeks. She, too, was great- ly distressed over the death of her son. r. W. B. Brown, the boy’s father, was informed of the accident, and was soon at the house. He was much affected over his son’s death. Mr. Blundon said Sunday morning it grieved him deeply to think that the remains had laid by the track all night before they were discovered. The loss of his son is a great blow to him. Dr. Mc- Millian was at Mr. Blundon’s house, but neither he nor Dr. Wells made an examina- tlon of the bodies. A large number of people visited the scene of the accident yesterday morning. The biocd and brains of the unfortunate boys were scattered along the ties of the west track and the bank, and two dead pigeons were still there. Y The Coroner’s Inquest. Justice Carr held a coroner’s inquest at the station at Riverdale at 10:30 Sunday morning. The following composed the jury: L. H. Emmert, foreman; Wm. Wilson, W. T. Norton, Charles M. Siger, Henry Ewer, W. H. Dyson, Wesley Ewen, Richard Brown, Joy Johnson, F. R. Rynex, A. M. MeMillian, D. Reuben. Mr. C. J. Wagner was examined, and said that he left River- dale shortly after the departure of the 7:19 train’ Saturday night; saw the boys at Tom Lancaster's; stopped and had a talk with them and Lancaster. He then went to Burchard’s store at Hyattsville; heard the 8:15 local train from Washington stop at Hyattsville. About tea minutes to 9 o'clock he heard the down express train whistle. He was at Gramlich’s on his way Lack when he heard the train whistle. ‘Tom Lancaster testified that the three boys came to his house tetween 7 and 3 o'clock Saturday night and purchased two pigeons of his little boy, and that Blundon said that he would return in the morning after church and buy another pigeon. The boys left his house about 8:25. o'clock. He then went to Burchard’s store in Hyatts- ville, arriving there shortly after 8:30. The 8:15 local train from Washington came along and whistled about three or four minutes after the boys left him. The ex- press train came by about five minutes after the boys left him, and he got out of the way of it. Heard the express train whistle about 200 yards from the target. John Garnier testified that he discovered tke three bodies lying on the west sidé of the track, opposite Mr. Blundon's house, between 5 and 6 o'clock Sunday morning. He did not recognize them. He was on his way to Mr. Wright's at the time. Two bodies were lying together, and one had its legs broken, and partly in the ditch. Part of the head of this body was cut off. He then went to Mr. Blundon’s, and asked him where his.son was, and Mr. Blundon said that he had not seen his son since Sat- urday evening. The witness then replied that he must be killed, as three bodies were lying on the west side of the track. Heard No Whistling by the Express. Mr. J. H. Ketner, the delivery clerk at W. B, Williams’ store in Washington, who was a passenger on the 8:15 local train from Washington, and who has some knowledge of railroading, stated that he heard no whistling. except by thé train that stopped at Riverdale. Did not remem- ber the express passing. He stood upon the platform for awhile after he got off the train. He thought that the boys were struck from the back. The engineer could not have secon the boys six feet in front of him. He could not tell whether marks should be upon the engine or not. The striking of the boys ought to cause some small jar to the engine. If the engineer were looking at the signal he ought to have discovered that the road was all right. Mr. Smoot of Riverdale, who was a fire- man at one time on the St. Paul railroad, ed, apon examination, that any one The Sk ention to business ought to know it he thing on the track. The en- ineer be looking out all the time. f the ‘3 stepped upon the track in the shadow of the light the engineer could not have geen them, If the cylinder struck them there would have been blood upon it. Mr. R. C4 Mangum testified that he came out on the 8:15 local Saturday night: He heard no unusual amount of whistling. The express train for Washington passed as he got off at the station. Three express trains passed by between Langdon and Riverdale. There was a lapse of five min- utes between the passing of two trains. He hearé no more than the usual whistling. Hattie Morris, Mr. Btundon’s colored cook, stated that the train going to Wash- ington blew more than usual. This was about 5, while she was in the store at Riverdale. The train was going fast, She heard the train going to Baltimore blow. Did not see the trains pass each other. The train going to Washington blew as if} something was in front of it, and continued to blow. “Mr. H. B. Fowler stated that he passed witkin twenty feet of the two bodies while going for Dr. Richardson about 12:30 o'clock that morning, but did not know they were there, and did not see them. The number of the 8:15 local train from Washington is , and the number of the Royal Blue express, that is supposed to have killed the boys, is 500. It is said that this train was five minutes behind time. Mr, Chas. Wilson, the station master, was examined, and said that he was in his stable a little before 9 o'clock Saturday night, and heard blowing, but did not know what it was. Mr. J. G. Miller testi- fled to being in his room at 8:30 o'clock. His dttention was attracted by the meet- ing of the trains at Riverdale. The local train slowed up. He heard a whistling at Riverdale and the signal box, but could not say whether it was more than cus- tomary. Adjourned Until This Evening. After the witnesses were examined the jury adjourned over till 6 o'clock this even- irg, when the crews of the two trains will"| be summoned and give their testimony. There was a large crowd at the River- dale station while the inquest was being held, including many persons from Branch- ville, College Park, Bladensburg and Hyattsville. The gatekeeper of the Baiti- more. and Ohio railroad, Washington, was out in the interest. of the railroad and took notes of the testimony given at the inquest, Justice Carr stated that he discovered the brains of one of the boys, whom he thought was: Blundon, as he was coming home after the inquest, lying on the bank of the west side of the railroad track about twenty yards from the scene of the acci- dent, and had them gathered up. He is of the opinion that the Royal Blue express No. 509 is the train that killed the boys, and that they were walking on the east track, and in trying to avoid the local train stepped upon the west track, when the express train bore down upon them, knock- ing them into eternity. Nothing but the sad accident was talked of in the neighborhood of Riverdale yester- day, ana the deepest sorrow was expressed for the parents and relatives of the un- fortunate boys. Had the night not been dark it is more than probabie that the bodies of the boys would hare been dis- covered before morning. Some of the peo- ple blame the engineer of the train that killed the boys for not in some way caus- ing the accident to be known. Funeral Today. The boys were well liked by all who knew them, and the accident is regarded as the saddest and most horrible that has ever occurred between Riverdale and Washing- ton. Mr. Jos. Gawler, the undertaker of Wash- ington, took charge of the;remains of the boys yesterday, and they all three will be buried at Mt. Olivet cemetery at 5 o'clock today, Rev. Fathers O'Connor of St. Stephen’s Church and Gloyd of St. Patrick's Church officiating at the funeral. Se EXCURSIONS, The boats that ran to’ Marshall Hail yes- terday were crowded on every trip. THe beautiful place was overrun with visitors and pleasure-seekers, who filled every shady neok and corner in their efforts to find a cool place. The attractions were all kept busy during the entire day, and especially was this so with the Ferris wheel. Every seat was filled every time it made a revo- lution, afd those who took advantage of the opportunity to go aloft expressed themselves as highly delighted with the beautiful view obtained from the great height. Schroeder's band was in attend- ance during the day, and enlivened the oc- caaion with some excellent music, giving their concert on the band stand back of the mansion. The bathing beach was very much in evidence, and a number of parties took pleasure trips in the pretty little boats which are stationed at the pier. The R. W. and B. Club give their ex- cursion to Marshall Hall tonight on the steamer Macalester. Barring accident, the evening should be a moonlight one, and a most enjoyable occasion is anticipatgd by all. The excursion is for the benefit of Lincoln Corps, No. 6, W. R. C.. and a number of the friends of that organization, as well as those of the R. W. and B. Club are expected 10 attend. An excursion will be given to Bay Ridge tomorrow on the regular trains by Union Lodge, No. 22, K. of P. It is their second annual outing to this place, and a most successful trip is looked for in every way. The arrangements are in the hands of Messrs. J. C.. Yost, Chas. T. Roderick, Louis Board and A. H. McGahn, and tick- ets may be procured from them, or from the committee at the depot. A large crowd went down to River View yesterday to see Speedy, the champion tower diver of the world, make two jumps from his lofty perch to the small tank on the ground beneath. Tae tower has been brilliantly lighted with electricity, and when Speedy jumps at night, as he did Saturday evening, the sight is truly a thrilling one. This is the last week of Speedy at River View, and he will make six more jumps in all. Two of these will be made on Wednesday, two on Saturday, and two on Sunday, the last day of his en- gagement. The second jump Wednesday will be made after dark through fire, and a large crowd js expected to witness the feat. The dive will be made through a ring of fire after darkness has set in, the only light being that of the incandescent lamps on the tower and the flame through which he sails downward. Sunday will be positively the last day of Speedy, and Capt. Randall is so much pleased with the suc- cess of his present engagement that he will probably engage him for next sum- mer. One of the pleasant features of a Sunday at River View is the playing of the fine band on the cafe porch, and those who enjoy the excellent dinners set forth at this place are regaled with choice music while discussing them. The Ald Association of the employes of Charles Baum’s establishment give their annual excursion to Marshall Hall tomor- row night on the steamer Macalester. The trip is to be a moonlight one, and a very enjoyable outing is anticipated. The Ma- rine Band, under the »leadership of Prof. Fanciulli, will give a lawn concert on the grounds, and the dance music will be by the National Guard Band. A great num- ber of tickets have been sold and every- things seems to point to a most auspicious occasion, financially, socially and musically. ——_ Deer Park and Oakland Hotels. ‘These celebrated hotels, located on the crest of the Alleghanies, are operated on the American plan.

The concluding addwess in a series of summer lectures toy young men was de- livered last evening: by Rev. J. E. Fout, pastor of the United Brethren Church, corner of North Gupitol and R streets. The character of Jogeph, the incorruptible young man, was hisisubject. At many of the Ehdeavor meetings last night reports of delegates to the Boston convention were received with especial in- terest. At the Assembly Presbyterian Church Miss Blanché McElfresh related some of her experiegces in Boston. There was a welbittended meeting at the Fourth Presbyterian Church, several members of other sogieties being, present and taking part in thei presentation of con- | vention scenes. D. P. Wolhaupter, presi- dent of the society; W. W. Everett of the Calvary Baptist society, Miss Florence Shuftle‘of the E Street Baptist society, W. H. H. Smith, chairman of the committee of ’96, and District President Miles M. Shand made short talks on different phases of the great meeting. . The society of the Luther Place Memorial Church was addressed by the delegates it had sent to the Hub, profitable words being spoken by Messrs. C. es Paul and H. M. Gunderson and+Rev. J. Butler. ‘The members of the ieisst Congregational society met in the south parlor of their church, which was prettily decorated with the colors of the Boston <cnvention—cri son and white. Miss Bertha Davis, Presi- dent Miles M. Shand, Jonn D. Morgan and Miss M. Heals gave interesting accounts of the convention in general, of the inspiring musiz and of the evangelistic. work done in Boston by the members. William H. Lewis, formerly a member of the society, but now a resident of Seattle, extended a hearty invitation to visit the’ Pacific coast in ‘97. J. B. Sleman, Mrs. Pennell and Rev. J. H: Bradford also spoke. Rev. Dr. J.-H. Elliott, rector of the Church of the Ascension, yesterday morn- ing delivered a sersom on “Christianity and Sovial Progress.” Wis discourse was 2 refutation of the arguments contained in Kidd's Evolution of Man. aa The Need of a New M To the Mitor of The Evening Star: In reading Friday eveaing's Star I was ex- ceedirgly pleased to notice-an article by Mr. D. G. Pfeiffer regarding the need of a new music hall, and the idea of having it connected with the contemplated new Y. M. C. A. building. While it seems to be a plausible project, a few facts must never- theless be borne in mind. The Y.M.C.A. has always been crowd- ed for space, therefore it will be seen that in erecting a new building with increased gymnasium, reading and study rooms, as- sembly, etc., there will be left little or no room at all for such a music hall as pro- posed by Mr. Pfeiffer. The Y. M. C. A. a feature of the city itself, and the addi- tion of a hat! would distract no little at- tention from it. Besides the rehearsals and concerts proper weuld greatly inter- fere with the study of the school, which has been progressing with great success. In view of. these facts it would seem an Impossibility, to have the hall connected with the Y. M. 1 eaipiatigallg? ‘end that it is Indzed a burning shai are in want of such a repr stitution. If the mvsically i work with a will fer such a hall there is no doubt but that great results could be ac- complished. But, as Mr. P. says, there is a lack of appreciation and interest in the matttr. Several years ago there was much discussion cameerning the erecting of a conservniory af imusic, bat what be- came of the schemei is,a deep, dark my tery. Although every other city of any consequenge has a cnmservatory, W aauiiies ton is also backwamd in rega to this, Now, by combining agenservatory with the contemplated hall, ssuch a magnificent building could be erected that it would ever afterward stand out as a monument to the noblest and mest exquisite of arts— music. GUS. A. SCHULDT. ee Finally Caught. Love may ‘laugh ati locksmiths, but 't is not ‘every locksmithywho can daugh at the police. One of these individuals is Samucl Burgee, who was arrested Satucliy even- ing by Detective George Boyd. Purgee had given bond to keep the peace toward his wife, and when his boadsnam saw that he wag drinking-agnin he procured a tail peace warrant and reqtested the police to serve it. The man for whom the writ was issued learned of what kad been done and he managed to ke2p out of the of the police for some days. Saturday, however, the detective mentioned went to his place and left word that he was wanted at a neighboring saloon to repair a lock. But fie Hall. strenuously affirm e that we in- ‘the temptation was not great enoush, anu the)-officer..was: told that. the«locksmith Was noi at. home. ‘This message was not believed, and the officer waited on the c ner for nearly two hours. Finally Bur could not remain in the house any longer. He was “dry,” und so he started to the saloon, not for the purpose of repairiny the lock, but to quenca his thirst, and then it was that he was arresiel. Today he was turned over to tne court. ——>__—_ Asks $2,000 Damages. A suit-at-law was filed Saturday by Mary Murray against Peter Grogan, in which she claims $2,000 damages, because of tite al- leged unlawful entry of the agents of the defendant into her premises, 606 H street, on the 2284 of last. month. The plaintiff claims that the defendant's agents tore up her carpets, and were abusive, boisterous and disorderly, so much so, she says, that she suffered from nervous prestration. She claims also that one of the defendant's agents assaulted her by pushing her aside. ——— Fire in Lumber Yard. The fire department was called out yes- terday afternoon by an alarm from box 416, turned in ty a watchman named Mc- Nerhany. The latter discovered a blaze in Johnson & Wimsatt’s lumber yard, but succeeded in extinguishing -it vefore the arrival of the firemen. It is thought that an incendiary attempted to destroy the lumber yard. —— His First Case, Night Inspe-tor Cress has made iis first case, his victims being two policemen in Lieut. Kelly’s precinct. It is alleged that one of then went thirty, feet off his beat at 3 o'clock Sunday morning and was found sitting on a door step. What. ex- cuse, if any, they gave the inspector for being there is not known. If they were sitting. there in anticipation of the appear- ance of a burglar they will tell the trial board all about it.

The Close of the Season.—There was the capacity of the house at*the New National Theater Saturday night, and a surplus oc- cupying the standing room, as.a token of esteem to the Summer Comedy Company, whose work during the past nine weeks has been a source of great satisfaction to the summer theater goers of Washington. The farewell plays were “Barbara” and “Partners for Life,” with the cast the same as at their previous presentation, with the exception of Mr. Coote, and everybody in the play did well. Applause was spon- taneous and generous, and when the cur- tain went down on its farewell drop the audience rose and insisted on speeches. Miss Sanders, Miss Lawrence, Miss Stevens, Miss Didbin and Miss Pitt came to the front and said their pieces beautifully. Then the men did their part, too, all except Low- ser and Hudson. Charles Coote’s: Benefit.—Mary Sanders will appear at Charles Coote’s testimonial to morrow night at the Grand Opera House. She will play Polly Eccles in “Caste,” one of her best and most satisfying characters. It is going to be a very pleasant evening within doors, and the weather bureau is be- ing pressed for a. clear night. Besides it will be the last chance to say good-bye to Frea Bond, Charles Mackey, Wm. Boag, Lillian Lawrence, Frances Stevens, Abbe Johnson, Euntce Ward and Charles Coote. The Apollo Quartet—W. H. Conley, E Lower, Corinne Adele Parker, J. J. Fishel and the Mount Pleasant Field Band—J. C. Churchill and Master Charlie Maidert are all strong features of the entertainment. Seats are going rapidly. oI = Go West or South Cheap. Beekman’s Ticket Office, Metrop. Hotel.— Advertisement. ¢ ‘POWDER: : Absolutely Pure. : A cream of tartar baking powder.
