MANGLED BY. WHEELS Horrible Abcident on the Ohevy Chase Line. A Workm: Streck by a Car—Inquest the Officials Exonerated— Height of Fender. John Avery, a colored man employed on the Chevy Chase branch of the Capital Traction railroad, met a horribie death yesterday afternoon about 5 o'clock. He was at work repairing the track at a point midway between Grant road and Albemarle street, nearly opposite Mr. Offutt’s place, when he was struck by a swifdy moving electric train and hurled into eternity with Scarcely a second’s warning. From all accounts the accident appears to have been unavoidable. As the car ap- proached the man, who stood directly be- fore it on the track, the motormar sounded his gong. Avery moved slowly out of the way, just before the car reached him, but inspired by some sudden impulse, he darted back on the track, apparently to get his tools out of the way. It was a fatal move for him. The car was going at rapid speed down a steep grade, and struck the unfor- tunate man when almost at its full mo- mentum. The car was stopped as soon as possible, and Avery's remains were removed to the side of the road. _ His body was horribly mangled and mutilated, his feet and legs being ground to a pulp, and his head crush- ed like an egg shell. His death must have been instantaneous. The fender appeared to have been of no service whatever. It was either hung too high to catch the man as he fell or the force of the impact was so great that he was forced through the network of the apparatus. The railroad people decline to give in- formation on this point. Some of the pas- sengers on the car say, however, that the bedy broke through the fender, and passed entirely under the car. The affair caused great excitement for a time. The car was in charge of Motorman Ben- ner and Conductor Springgirth. The for- mer was arrested, but was shortly after- ward released cn bail pending the result of the coroner’s inquest. The body was removed to the morgue at the seventh pre- cinct station, Georgetown, to await the action of the coroner. Avery came here a short time ago from North Carolina, and had few, .if any, friends in this city. The Inquest. The inquest over the body of Avery was held at 11 o'clock this forenoon at the seventh precirct police station, Deputy Coroner Glazebrook conducting the same. A jury was sworn in, consisting of Messrs. Frank Thomas, George Wills, William B. Crowley, George Bennett, E. M. Cropley and D. C. Connolly. The first witness was Mr. Charles F. Keen, who was seated on the front seat of the motor car. He saw the workmen leave the work as the motorman sounded his gong, and when within a short distance of Avery, who was the last man of the laborers, the latter jumped over in the track to pick up something. He missed catching hold of the object and before he could get out of the way the car struck kim. Witness stated that the car stopped within its length, so it appeared to him. Nathaniel M. Marden, another. passenger on the car, who was seated in the trailer, felt the jar of the car in passing over the body, but did not see the ovcurrence. Renig Springgirth, the conductor of the car No. 24, lives at Chevy Chase and had been employed by the company for two years. The train left Chevy Chase at » and at the time of the accident was-t minutes behind time, not an uncommon thing. The train at the time was going very slow, and when it was stopped was within fifteen or twenty yards of the unfortunate man. Mr. George Dunlop, the president of the company, was present, and he spoke of the grade at the point, which is rather steep, being fully 6 per cent, while the car was stopped before reaching the bot- tom of the incline. He stated that the front fender was about twelve inches fronr the track, while the wheel guard was lock- ed to the track? His company at one time ran the front fender six inches from rail, but the police regulations require the dis- tance. to be from ten to twelve inches. This was given in response to an inquiry from one of the jurymen. William T. O'Neal of 2804 N street, who was in charge of the laborers, was working with Avery at the time. While the negro went on one side of the track, witness went on the other side. There was a long iron rammer. lying in the space between the tracks, which had been lying thcre for some time, and Avery jumped to pick it up. He missed his aim and made another attempt, and the car struck him. It was not necessary to pick the rammer up, as it was out of the way of the cars. George Brawner, the motorman of the car, testified that he was going at the rate of five or six-miles an hour. He had passed the main bunch of workmen, and had just unloosened the brake, the car not starting at full speed, when it struck Avery. The force of the collision threw him over the front fender, his head striking the dash- board, while the rebound threw him be- neath the fender. The wheel guard caught him and dragged him for four or five feet, until a hollow was reached, where one of the ties had been taken out. The body went down in this hollow, and the whecl guard passed over him. Dr. Glazebrook testified that death was undoubtedly due to the shock from the wounds received. Every large bone in the man’s body had been broken and mashed, though there was but very little loss of blood. The jury, after considering the matter, came to the conclusion that Avery's death was purely acchlental, and that the motor- man and conductor could not be blamed. The question of the fender hanging so high was touched upon, the jury caHing the at- tention of those in authority to the same. ———— NATIONAL GUARD CAMP. General Ordway Quotes the Law td the Commissioners. Those clerks in the District building who are members of the National Guard are awaiting the decision of the Commissioners upon their application for leave of absence to attend the regular encampment of the guard at Fort Washington, which begins June 10 and continues until the 19th. The Commissioners are required by law to grant the necessary leaves of absence. This matter was officially brought to the attention of the Commissioners yesterday by General Ordway in the following letter: ““I have the honor to call your attention to sections 43 and 49 of the act of Congress approved March 1, 1889, ‘to provide for the organization of the militia of the District of Columbia,’ which sections provide as fol- lows: last.
