William! Webster Accused of Having Assaulted the Boy—His Arrest Fol- lows—The Particulars. James A. Shoomaker, a white lad, aged ten years, is lying critically ill at the resi- dence of his parents, No. 121 Taylor street, Anacostia, the result, it is charged, of a kick in the groin recetved from a white man named William Webster. The boy's death is looked for at any moment. The matter came to the attention of the police only yesterday, though the injury is alleged to have been inflicted several nights ago at a lawn party. Dr. Stuart Harrison, who has had charge “f the case, was seen this morning. He stated there was no doubt at all that the SBhoomaker boy was injured by violence. Webster was placed under arrest yester- day by Policemen Ryon and Reagan of the Anacostia station. He admitted to the offi- cers that he had grabbed the boy and had shaken him a little, but claimed he had no intention of hurting him. Decoration Day Lawn Party. The lawn party was héld the night of the 30th of May on the grounds of the Linger place, 612 Harrison street, now occupied by H. W. Eno. Webster was, it is reported, hired to keep watch over the grounds and goods, as the affair was to be continued an- other night. He entered the grounds with a baton in his hands while the party was in progress. It is charged that he was in- toxicated. Toward the close of the party a number of smaii boys began playing to- gether on the music pavilion, and, it is said, Webster came on the stand and or- dered them off. The Shoomaker boy was seated in a chair. He told his father after- ward that he felt some one endeavoring to pull the chair away from him, and thought it was one of his playmates, and that he held on to the chair. He said he found out then it was Webster who was pulling at the chair, and that the watch- man seized him around the neck and then gave him a kick with his foot in the left side near the stomach. The little fellow at once went and told ls father, who is sexton of the Anacostia M. E. Church and was assisting at the festival. The watchman was at once or- dered from the grounds. Becomes Ill at Sunday School. The injured boy was taken seriously ill at Sunday schoo] last Sunday morning, five days after the alleged kicking. He has been under the constant care of physicians ever since. Last night the lad had several spasms. He was always a delicate child, quiet and studious, and it is regarded as improbable that he was the aggressor in anything that may have occurred. He was in the third grade of the public school and had not missed a day from school this year. We ster is a one-arned man, thirty years old, and is married.

North Capitol and_ Eckington Citi- zens’ Association Sn Highway Bill. Wm. G. Henderson, president of the North Capitol and Eckington Citizens’ As- sociation, has written to Senator McMillan and Representative Babcock, chairmen of the committees on the District of Columbia. of the Senate and House, respectively, stat- ing that the citizens’ association which he represents indorses the highway Dill as passed by the Senate yesterday afternoon. Mr. Henderson says: At the last meeting of the executive committee of the North Capitol and Eck- ington - Citizens’ Association careful con- sideration was given to H. R. 10209, relat- ing to the highway act, especially as re- ported to the Senate with amendments, and the proposed Senate amendments were unanimously indorsed and approved as be- ing more beneficial to the District at large than a total repeal of the highway act would be, and I was directed to communi- cate such action to your committee. It is believed that some well-defined legislation regulating the location and opening of streets lying outside of the present city limits will tend to prevent the recurrence of the evils found at present to exist in many of the ‘misfit’ subdivisions. It is con- fidently believed that if some legislation is not made at the present time it will have to be made in the future, and the longer it is delayed the greater will be the expense upon the District, and therefore, if such slation is ever to be made, it is better that it should be enacted now, so that the evils found to exist at this time may he prevented from occurring again and the heavy expense attending correction of the same be avoided. The amendmen 'y the Senate committee are be- to be in the right direction and if @ into law will prove to be a whole- me check upon the growth of the evils which experience has demonstrated e progressed in the past, and will give framework which can be filied out to com- plete fullness if in the future it is four necessary or desirable to make additions or possibly slight alterations in the ground- work of the law. These reasons and others of a broad public spirit in character, un- Influenced by any sectionalism, have led the executive commitice of this association to believe that the interests of the entire District will be best served by enactment into law the gencral provisions of the to amend the highway act, as propose the Senate amendments to the bill men- tioned.” >— DECLARED TO BE INSANE.

DEATH DUE TO ACCIDENT Thomas Coyle Falls Under the Wheels of a Horse Car. ‘Was Member of. a Party of Young People Returning From a Ball —The Verdict. Thomas Coyl3, @ young man who livel with his widowed mother at No. 44 I street northeast, slipped from an Eckington and Soldiers’ Home horse ear near 2d and Quin- cy streets northeast about 11:30 o'clock last night and received injuries from which he died soon aftsrward. Early in the evening the young man, with a number of compan- ions, went out to Eckington, where they have a club room. The party of young peo- ple spent an enjoyable evening in dancing, and shortly after 11 o’clock they started hom2. There were nine of them in the par- ty, and near 2d and Quincy streets they boarded the horse car driven by Joseph Seibon, with G. H. James as conductor. ‘They were all in good humor, and as most of them were going to leav2 the car at Florida avenue they got on the front plat- form with the driver. The latter invited them to go in the car, but they were too well satisfizd on the platform, though some of them had but little foothold. One of the ladies wanted to drive, Lut Seiben declined to surrender the reins. The car had not gone more than twanty feet after the party got aboard when Coywe missed his footing and slipped under the wheels. In slipping he fell against Mr. J. A. Hamilton, also a member of the party, and knocked him from the car. Hamilton rolled from the track, whil2 Coyle fell in front of the wheel. Death Soon Follows. The car was stopped and the injured man was soon on his way to the hospital, but he died before the doctors had time to Go anything for him. The deceased was twenty-four’ years old and had been employed as a clerk for the gas company. Coroner Carr held an inquest today at the sixth precinct.station, and a verdict of accidental death was rendered. After the inquest had been held the body was taken to the late home of the deceased by an un- dertaker and prepared for burial. His funeral may take place tomorrow. Coroner's Examination. Deputy Coroner Glazebrook told of the examination he made of Coyle’s body. The right leg was broken and there was also a fracture of the hip. He also found a fright- ful wound of the side, and this had injured his kidneys. There was also a fracture of the base of the skull. Acute hemorrhage following the injuries caused the man’s death. E. E. Roberts, 621 East Capitol street, testified that he was a passenger on the car last night, when a party of six young gen- tiemen and ladies got on the car at 2d and R streets northeast. Instead of getting in the car they got on the front platform. Cc suddenly disappeared and witness was satisfied that he had fallen under the car, because he heard his feet strike against the vehicle. The car was stopped and the young man, who was unconscious, Was taken from beneath it. He was un- conscious up to the time he was. taken away to the hospital. Witness said when he got off the car he noticed that tne front wheel was against. the unfortunate man’s breast. Jeremiah Horigan, who lives at 1119 12th Street northeast, was next called. “Tell the jury about the affair,” he was directed. “There’s not much to tell,” he said. “Nine of us got on the car at the turn, and rerained on the platform. Mr. Hamilton was the last one to get on and Coyle slip- ped against him.” He explained that Mr. Hamilton was knocked off and rolled from the track, but Coyle fell in front of the car.

The passengers did not go inside, as he requested. “Was there a fender on your car?” the mer asked. ‘No, sir,” replied the driver. cars do not have fenders.” Witness said he stopped the car as soon as he could after the young man fell.

Baird, superintendent of th Eckington and Soldiers’ Home Railway Company, and George W. Taylor, a car driver, were reported to the Police Court this morning for alleged cruelty to animals. Baird was fined $10 and the driver's per- sonal bonds were taken. Agent Rabbitt of the Humane Society made the complaint. His chief accusation was against the company, because of the use of poor stock and the heavy work r3- quired of them. He referred to the heavy grade on Louisiana avenue, and also tb the extension of the horse car branch of th> line through what-is known as the “cut,” just north of Florida avenue. The track through the cut, he said, is similar to steam car tracks, and is heavy enough to kill any animal. He said that some of the horses are mere skeletons. It has been the habit of the men in the stable to put a good horse to a car with one of the living skeletons, he said, in order to make 2s good an appearance on the stret as possible. This testimony related to the charge against the superintendent of the stables. Mr. Baird denied that the hors2s were attached to every car as the complain- ant had alleged. The fine mentioned was imposed. In the driver's cas3 the officer alleged that one of the horses being driven was nothing but a mere shadow, with a num- ber of sores about its body. He charged that the driver used his whip in a cruel manner to urge th2 horse along on 6Bth street in order to get out of the way of an electric car. A witness who @xamined the animal told the court that he counted eight distinct sores on its body and a big bruise on its 12g. He also found a number of welts on the anirnal’s frame. “When such animals are put to these heavy cars,” said Judge Scott, “and it is necessary to urge them I don’t feel like fining the drivers.” Concerning the Louisiana avenue hill the judge said he did not know who was re- sponsible for allowing a horse car line to b2 established there. It was his opinion that no road with a whip as the moving power should have been allowed on the hill. “It is a most:pitiable sight,” the court added, “to see these poor animals strug- gling up this hill, and it is cruelty every time they havs to make the trip.” The driver was warned against the vigor- ous use of the whip, and was told that he would better delay the electric cars than to_whip the horses. Taylor denied that he cruelly used his whip, and a passenger on the car was of the same opinion. ‘The latter said he thought the task of drawing the cars was too much for the animals. —>—_—_. EXCURSIONS, The first of the special excursions to For- tress Monroe, Nerfolk, Virginia Beach and Ocean View to be given by the Norfolk and Washington St2amboat Company during the summer season is scheduled for tomor- row evening.

GOOOSSSO ODS EPOLO SOOO HOE SOO: CHARGE AGAINST FIREMEN. Alleged Delay in Responding to an Alarm. A letter was received by the District Commissioners today from Messrs. Thomas G. Hensey & Co., calling their attention to an alleged serious delay on the part of the fire department in responding Tuesday af- ternoon to the fire at Riley’s stable, 11th and Water streets, The letter is as fol- lows: “As the agents of the company insuring the building and contents of Thos. W. Riley’s stable property, on Water street between lith and 12th streets, we desire to call your attention to the complaint which is being generally made against the fire department for their failure to respond properly to the alarm. Mr. Riley states that it was fully half an hour after t alarm was turned in that the engines re- sponded to the call, and while there may have been some reason for the delay. the building was unnecessarily 4 You will confer a fevor if you will inv gate the matter, and, if within your power, administer the remedy which is necessary. As fire underwriters our opinion for some time has been that the Washington fire de- partment is inadequate.” The letter has been referred by the Com- missioners to Chief Parris for investigation and report. Inquiry at fire-alarm head- quarters teday developed the fact that there was some delay—not more than a minute, it 1s claimed—in sending out the alarm, the delay being due, it is explained, to the fact that two or three boxes in the vicinity of the fire were pulled at about the same moment. Two alarms were sounded, the first from box 416, at 3:55 P.m., and a special alarm ten minutes later. ae Volunteer Writes Home. Mr. Henry P. Cattell of the police depart- ment has heard from nis son William, who went south with the District volunteers as a private in Company L. The young man is perfectly satisfied with his situation, al- though he cays the eating is not :he best, nor is the clothing thin enough for the climate. He says in his letter that he has enjoyed trips on a light house tender, and is getting fat on the treatment. He says he never felt better in his life. “Note the word Pepsin.” BROMO- PEPSIN CURES } BRAIN } é A dose of BROMO-PEPSIN will = specdily revive 2 ultics, restore ti PS tions, cure Hi 4 cause, or when taken before re- 3% tiring insures restful and re- + freshirg «5!
