An honest old biscksmith down in Texas, despairing of ever getting cash out of a de- Imquent debtor, agreed to take bis note for the amount due.

Tr WAS RUNNING AT HIGH SPEED The Motorman Exonerated and the Company Censured. THE CORONER’S INQUEST = ‘The overhead trolley claimed another vic- tim last evening, the life of Maggie E. Hen- derson, the sixteen-year-old daughter of John Henderson, a- watchman, living at L.ncoln and Sth streets, being sacrificed. ‘The accident occurred at Irving and 7th streets, several squares north of Florida avenue, about 8 o'clock last evening. The girl was standing on the west side of 7th street talking with some girl friends, as car 83 of the Brightwood electric line, in harge of Conductor Edward Mobkler and Motorman Michael O’Brien, approached, bend south. Just before the car reached Invirg street the unfortunate girl bade her friends good-night, and ran across the strect. She had reached the middle of the Western tracks, apparently unaware of the approach of the car, when her friends shouted a warning. She attempted to turn back, when the car struck her, knocked her down and rolled her under the fender and car, crushing her young bi rto an almost shapeless ma instantly killing her. Station Keeper Wm. Shepherd placed the conductor and motor- man under arrest, and they were detained at the eighth precinct. Tne body was re- moved with some dificulty from beneath the car, and taken to the morgue. There it was found that her head was crushed be- yond recognition, her body and limbs being ; also territ The crushed. tory of the Tragedy. The Inquest was held at the eixth pre- cinct station house by Deputy Coroner Glazebrook a few minutes after 11 o'clock this morning, Mr. Henry P. Blair repre- senting the company and Mr. Marshall ling the giri's father, the following sworn as the jury: F. T. Deneal, F. s , W. B. Stewart, Charles Gordon, Swink and J. A. Thrift. The firet witness was Willlam Thomas, a young colored man. He stated that about 8 o'clock t evening he was walk- ing up 7th str when he noticed the youns girl start across the street. A car ning north and one going south. Ii was near the corner of Irving and 7th st » and as the girl got on the track she seemed to see for the first time the north-1 d car.

She w. necked off her feet, striking her head. vas thrown under the fender and the car 100 feet or more ba fere the car could be stopped. The head- light of the car was burning, and the mo- terman had a full view of her. To a ju the witness explained that the girl ped from the north bound track to the south bound track to let the north bound car pass, whin she was struck. A Warning Shoat. R. Quinter of 916 T street, the passen. h struck the girl. When hout twenty feet away from 2 started to run across the track. rate of speed at the time torman did ali he could at or p the car, stopping it in a very short distance, it not going more than fifteen feet after it steuck the girl. She scemed to turn back after reaching the middle of the track, but before she could get off the West end of the fender struck her, knocked her down, and then che vanished from view under the car. He saw no car from the south going north, and believed that the girl did not see the car. The grade there is very steep, and he believed that the motorman could not nave stopped his cur before striking the girl. Ran Into the Car. Mrs. Mary Etta Shreve of 525 Spruce street was also a passenger on the car which struck the girl. The girl was run- ning very fast, and che believed that she ran Into the car, not reaching the mid le of the track before the end of the fenier struck her. The motorman and Mr. Quin- ter both yelled at the girl. There was no car going north at the time, and the wit- ness said the car was not running very fast. She also thought the motorman blameless, he doing all he could to stop his car. The headlight was burning at the time. Augustus W. Rhine of 2504 7th street said the accident occurred near his house. The girl had been talking with some girl friends on the corner and, kissing one gocd night, she ran across the street. But she really ran into the car, trying in vain to turn back. There is a steep grade at the point, and he believed that the car was running too fast, at least eighteen or twenty miles an hour. The witness said he has much experience and knowledge of the rate of speed of cars, and was con- fident of the speed of the car which struck the girl. The motorman, however, did all he could to stop his car, but the car and girl were going too fast to avoid the ac- cident, which occurred at the street cr ing. ‘He was certain that there was no attempt made to slacken the speed before crossing Irving street. Cars Always at High Speed. Charles Rhine, a small boy, the son of the preceding witness, testified that he saw the girl start to run across the track, a1 that as she reached the middle of the track she turned to come back, wien she was struck. The motorman both yelled at the girl and rang his bell. The car was going very fast at the time, as they always do at that point, the witness said. Robert May of % h street, a smal] boy, sald that as the girl had Just crossed the first rail of the track her friends on the corner cried out to her, and just as she turned the car struck her. ‘The car ran about 100 feet after striking the girl. She was struck by the fender and rolled under it and the car. The car was going pretty fast at the time. They alwars do so at that point, the witness remarked. The hcadiight was burning, and the motorman both rang his bell and cried out. Fred. C. O'Conne!! of 2610 7th street saw the girl struck jest after the car reached Irving street. After striking her the car ren about sixty feet. The witness heard no bell rung. Beils are not rung as a rule by the carg at crossings in the neighoor- hcod, and the cars generally run at twelve miles or more an hour along there. John W. Souders, living at Irving and Tth streets, gave similar testimony, saying that the car was running at eighteen or twenty miles at the time. He heard no bell rung, and sald that all cars run at a Castoria For Infants and Children.

The latter sald the car was running at eighteen or twe miles an hour. He heard no bell ru and said that in his opinion the fender was responsible for the girl's death, as it flew up and threw her under it, instead of catching her up. The Motorman’s Evidence. Michael O'Brien, the motorman of the car, said he twice sounded the gong just before reaching Irving street, and had also put on the brakes to slow up before crossing It. He did all he possibly could to prevent the accident, shouting at the girl, turning off the current, and bringing down the brakes at once. The car was not going more than nine or ten miles an hour at the time, and after striking the girl It did not run more than twelve or fifteen feet. He admitted that on another occasion he struck a wagon, slightly injuring the driver. The girl ran almost into the car, giving him no time to prevent the accident. She fell into the fender and then out, and, while the car has a second or under fender, it failed to work for some reason. Edward Mohler, the conductor, stated that the car was not running over eight miles an hour, and that {t was stopped in a very short distance. The bell, he was cer- tain, was rung before the car reached the cross-street. That concluded the testimony, and the jury retired to deliberate upon their verdict. The Company Censured. The jury returned a verdict exonerating the moterman and conductor and censured the raiiroad company because of the al- leged unlawful rate of speed the car was making. ge The Police and the Wheelmen.

That gentleman ts evi- dently very indignant et tho treatment ac- corded his son, Yet there is another side to the case, as in all cases. In my ten years’ experience as a cyclist I have not iffered a single indignity from any po- liceman, and I attribute this to the fact that 1 have always acted with common sense, and a recognition of the rights of pedestrians. It is generally the novices at cycling who swell the ranks of Police Court business, and for them as well as for the reckless a $5 bill is just as neces- sary as a lamp or bell.

Writ of Prohibition Denied and an Appeal Taken. The writ of prohibition against the Dis- trict Commissioners recently petitioned for by D. B. Gottwals, Henry J. Keough and the City Investment Company was denied by Juég> Cole today. The petitioners alleged that under the act of April 24, 1896, the Commissioners were about to reassess their property for taxes for special improvements. The act, the pe- tioners further alleged, is too vague and indefinite to authorize such a thing, and that as the original assessments failed to give the required notice to property owners, that was a defect of substance which the act in question does not cure. Nor did it uthorize or empower the Commissioners ‘0 proceed to make the complained of re- assessment, especially where the District Supreme Court has quashed proceedings. fudge Cole, in disposing of the case, said he was not authorized to cut off the dis- cretion of the Commissioners in such a summary manner. The reassessments hav- ing been made, it will then be time and proper to try the question of the authority or power of the Commissioners to collect the taxes. That is, the court said, the matter could be brought up before the court on certiorari, after reassessments were made, when the questions involved could be reviewed by thé court. Messrs. D. W. Baker, H. M. Earle and Malcolm Hufty argued the case for the petitioners, Mr. S. T. Thomas representing the District. Counsel for the petitioners noted an appeal to the Court of Appeals, CAMPAIGN LITERATURE Work of Getting It Out Progressing at Both the Committee Headquarters, | Great Output of Documents by Re- publicans—Democrats to Rush the Work Soon. The work of getting out rampatgn liter- ature 1s progressing at the headquarters of both the republican and democrat!> con- gressional committees, and in a few days there will be a considerable enlargement of the work by both committees. Chair- man Rabcock told a Star reporter today that the dally output of pamphlets is now about 400,000, and that this will be some- what Increased. ‘The priating 1s being done by three firms in Philadeipuia, two In bal- timore and two in this city. This moraing the manager of one of the Philadeiphia firms was in consultation with Mr. Bah- cock, and arranged to intrease the output of his printing office from 110,000 da 160,000, There are about fifty peopie em- ployed in sending out these documents. At the democratic héadquarters there are but about fifteen people now employed in this work of sending out literature, but In a day or two, it fs safd, this number will be multiplied several times. The docu- ments now leaving the democratic kead- quarters do not number over abuut 100,000 daily, and it 1s said the commtttee has been considerably hampered for want of funds, which it is hoped soon to have in Mberal proportions, so that the committee’s work may go on on a larger scale. Sam Small, the famous evange'lst and prohi- bitionist, who has slways opposed the democratic party, was one of the callers at the democratic headquarters today. Mr. Small cffered his services to the com- mittee free for the months of September and Octover. He said he has been through Kansas, Nebraska, Kentucky and Illinois, and found the sentiment of the masses of the people overwhelmingly for Bryan, and that many republicans were met who were coming out for the democratic candidate and free silver. Mr. Small has an engage- ment for a joint debate on the money ques- tion with ex-Congressman Mason of Iill- noig. The demccratic congressional committee had a new pamphlet out this morning ready for distribution. It is emall in size, and is entitled “The action of the fathers of the republic and the statesmen of the nation in favor of the free and unlimited coinage of gold and silver.” On the leaves of the pamphlet are pictures of the Prest- dents of the United States, with the query below each, “Was Washington an honest man?” etc. It gives all the Presidents up to 1873, and gives accompanying state- ments to show that each either spoke in favor of bimetailism or that the law then eines provided for the double stand- ard. Executive Clemency. The President has suspended, pending further Investigation, the execution of the sentence of five years’ imprisonment and $00 fine, imposed in the case of Frank Pruner, convicted in western North Caro- lina of counterfeiting.

TWO PRISONERS NEEDED DOCTORS The Usual Run of Drunks and Dis- orderlies. SENTENCES GIVEN “Here comes Mr. Flynn now,” sald one of Judge Scott's callers this morning when the big officer of the law entered the cor- ridors in front of the cells. “And,” he added, “I know we are going to get some ice water.” “No {ce water,” the officer told him. “The lawyers drink all of our ice water. And not satisfied with enjoying the court's hospitality themselves they bring in their friends and treat them. “It’s mighty strange,” sald one of the victims, “that these wealthy people who git all our money should drink ice water while we have to drink the warm river water.’ “I wish I could help you out,# the kind- hearted policeman told him, “but the ice melts so fast and not very much of it 1s furnished, so that you will have to go without the cold beverage.” James Burke, a young man who was one of the sixteen victims, was apparently a very sick man. The heat had een too much for him, and he had taken an over- dose of stimulants. So sick was the young man that he could hardly remain on his feet. but he had been locked up all night and then confined In the cell with a number of others instead of being given medical treatment. Sent to a Hospital. When court convered and the young man’s name was called to answer a charge of disorderly he had to be assisted from the seats to the rafl, and in an almost inaudible tone he answered “I'm not guilty.’ “What's the matter with Judge Scott asked. “Is he sick?’ “I think he is,” answered Policeman Batson, who had arrested him near 15th and H streets northeast last night. “He was drunk when I arrested him and friends said he had suffered a case of sunstroke in the morning. Accoruing to his statement he was given stimulants and made drunk.” “Why did you. arrest him?” “I received complaint that there was an intoxicated man out there cursing and swearing, and when I went there I found this man causing the trouble.”? “Was he sick last night?” the court this man?" inquired, ‘No, sir, but he was drunk.” ‘This ig not the place for this man,” the court remarked. e's sick and should be sent to the hospital.” Burke was too sick to make Sanitary Officer Frank's called to the case was on his way to U Another man who brought into court was James Pinchiack, a young colored man, who reached here two days or more ago from Boston, « route to Richmond, and yesterday he was arrested at the Baltimore and Ohio depot. “You are charged with being a vagrant and a suspicious person,” read the clerk. ou guilty or not guilty? “He won't speak,” Bailiff Kendig told the _ and I think he ts not right in his statement. itention was nutes he What's the trouble?” the court asked. “1 think h crazy.”" Policeman Hayes, who arrested him, was of the same opinion. “He was in the depot, and refused to give an account of himself,” said the officer. “is ticket had expired, and he only had about 80 cents in his pocket.” “Did he do anything out of the w: quired the court. “He went in Emrich’s Hotel and got his dinner, and then refused to pay for it,” was the officer's answer. Lawyer Hewlett thought that the police might get the man’s ticket extended and send him away. “But if he's crazy,” said the court, “ best place for him is the asylum.” ab Aguin the court had to call upon Sanitary Officer Frank, who was sent for, and he relieved the court of its burden, Where Cleanliness Helped Him. Cleanliness is next to godliness, but the court room seldom sees much of either. There was an exception to this rule this morning when Rufus Jones appeared, and his cleanliness was rewarded. “What is this young man charged with?” asked the court, when the young col man appeared. 2 peek “Vagrancy and suspicion,” was the clerk’s respons: 3 The young man's appearance was certain- ly not that of a vagrant, for not only was he cues well, but he showed evidence of aving taken gocd care of his clo: vl ae ae is thing while “I found him in a wood yard changing his clothes,” said Policeman Herbert, “and Bo tela ame he lived over a barber shop on Street, bu’ e people in the house si they didn’t know him.” > ot “What have you to say about yourself?” Judge Scott inquired of the young man. “I live in Danville.” he answered, “and several months ago I passed through here going north, and now I’m on my way home.” I must say that you present a very neat appearance,” the court remarked, “and if zou want to go home I’m not going to stop you. His personal bonds were taken, and he was released. Promises Further Developments. Susie Jackson, a little colored woman,who is acquainted about the vicinity of Cham- plain avenue, was in the toils on a charge of disorder, but she thought she was a bad treated woman. “There were cries of murder and the blow- ing of a police whistle on Champlain avenue last night,” was the complaint of Pollec- man Lee, “and this woman said she had been beaten and assaulted. I made an ar- rest, and while on the way to the box this woman engaged in a fight.” “I know I did, judge,” the woman said. “but wouldn't you fought, too, if a big wo- man knocked you down?" usie also complained that she ha: robbed of thirty-five cents, but hin didson enter into the case in court, an $5 was imposed. ines py bhat's ell right,” concluded Susie, “but "m going to get a warrant for Beck: \- fon wren I get out.” ee one n front of Brown's eating house night there was a gathering of mea ost women, and Sarah Williams, colored, one of the number, got in trouble. “My friend had been drinking,” she told the court, “and I was trying to get him home.” “But why did you curse and swear?” “I didn’t use no flame language,” was her *“Bhe did use bad 1 ie d Et Et languat sald, fe ing her.’ “Mr, Clerk,” said the court, fine of $2." the officer nd there was a large crowd follow- “enter up a Sent to the Farm.

The Court Wouldn't. Alexander Hall, colored, had some trou- ble with his wife last night, and when there was an outcry made a policeman went to the house and found that the hus- band was responsible for the wife's losing considerable blood from her nose. “I’m guilty of the charge,” said the prisoner, “but, judge, your honor, if a wo- man hit you and knocked you down, wouldn’t you strike her back?” “Indeed, I wouldn't,” the court told him, and was FINANCIAL 16 GOLD TO 1 SILVER— That a home at beautiful, bealthful Cleveland Park will pay well.
