Antonio Pellettieri, Before His Brothers’ Euyes. While on his way home from school Antonlo, the four-year-old son of Mrs. Colombo Pellettieri, fell on the track of the Presidio and Ferries raflroad at the corner of Montgomery avenue and Green street and a passing car struck and Killed him instantly. The little fellow's head was directly over the cable slot after he fell, and it was hit by the coupling bar of the dummy and the upper por- tion of the skull was nearly torn off by the force of the blow. Charles Ander- son, the gripman, stopped the car as quickly as he could after he saw the boy fall and prevented the wheels from striking the body. Antonio, with two brothers, Jimmie and Louis, 7 and 5 vears old, had been attending the Children’s Day Home and Kindergarten at 1413 Powell street. The three started home together about 5 o'clock last evening, Jimmie, the elder, hold- ing Antonio by the hand. When theysreached Montgomery avenue and Green street the younger boy broke away from his brothers and started across the street. His foot caught between the car track and a cobble stone. He fell headlong on the track and was crushed to death before his brothers' eyes. witnesses have different storfes of the affair, some saying that the boy who was killed was behind the other two b who had crossed the street ahead of him, but little Jimmie, who is heartbroken over the death of his brother, says that he and Louis were behind Antonio. The gripman is exonerated from all blame by those who saw the accident, and he is given the credit of hav- ing stopped the car in remarkably short order. The mother, who is a widow of but two months, was but a short distance from the scene of her boy's death, and the shock has almost driven her insane. She had started for the school to bring the boys home, as was her custom, but detained a trifle later than usual, and reached the corner where the accident happened just after the car had struck the boy. When she made her way through the crowd which had collected around the body and discovered that it was her son who had been killed she fell on the street in a dead faint and was carrfed to the home of her brother-in-law at 543 Green street. Up to a late hour she had spoken to no one, but was continually moaning and crooning a mournful n death song. It is feared that her mind will not be able to stand theshock. The family has been very poor since the death of the father, and since that time Rosie, ear-old_daughter of Mrs. Pellettleri has been supporting the family by earned working in a biscuit factory. The little girl is bearing up bravely under the death of her brother, though her drawn face tells that she is keeping her grief deep in her heart. She said that Antonio was Lie favorite of the entire family, and was loved by all the sisters at the school, as he was unusually bright for a child of his age. Last Monday the family were at the cemetery to decorate the newly made grave of the father, and Antonio, as as he was, seemed to have a presentiment that he was going to die. “As ced some wild flowers growing near the grave,” Rosie said, “and put them on the mound Antonio looked up at mamma and sald, ‘I'm going to see papa this week.’ Charles Anderson, the gripman was arrested immediately after the accident and charged at the City Prison with manslaughter. On learning of his arrest, idge Low at once released him on his own recognizance. According to the state- ment of Anderson, the car was going at a slow rate of speed when he noticed the rtunate boy crossing the street. He applied the brake, but too late to save life.

SENT TO THE GUARD HOUSE AN OUNCE OF ORANGE MAKES TONS OF TROUBLE. A Pathetic Tale of the Horrors of | War and the Troubles of a Very Zealous Policeman. As the days roll by and the muster roll of the boys in blue increases the face of, Police Officer Fell grows longer and troubled sighs shake the frame of the pet of one Lees, who would rejoice in the title of a latter-day Sherlock Holmes. This particular pet of his chieftainship, like all other pets, wishes to ape the ac- tions of his lord and master, and his un- bounded zeal is daily leading him into paths more and more stony. In fact the rocky road to Dublin bears no compari- son to the crooked and stony pathway over which the feet of Fell are wearily stumbling. The story of the first fall of Fell has already been told in these columns, but it is so luscious that perhaps it will bear | repetition. On that occasion the foxy | ears of the pet detected an unwonted noise; he was on the alert at once—neck stretched out, eyves alert and nerves tense. Like a true disciple of Lees and Holmes he followed the sound as does hound aniseseed. Suddenly, with a cry of joy at which the earth trembled, he swooped upon four small offenders. The boys had heard the music of clanging sabers and the muffled tread of marcfilng feet and, as is natural, gave vent to their feelings in a storm of cheers. But this mighty minjon of the law felt no pa- triotism and gathered them in for dis- turbing the peace. He was censured for his_conduct by a police judge. Now comes the second chapter in the tale of the “‘Cop of the sorrowful coun- tenanc Yesterday afternoon an itiner- ant vender of oranges, who hails from the shores of Naples, wended his way to- ward the tented fields overlooking the broad vista of the Pacific on one side and a panorama of burial grounds on the other. He was accompanied by an ani- mated hat rack, a collection of odds and ends termed, for the sake of description a wagon, and several boxes of golden Ca! ifornia oranges. As he neared the camp to allow the foundered hat-rack to breathe. As he did s0 a boy in blue took up his position just opposite. The soldier looked at the oranges—they were luscious, tempting. He took an inventory of the contents of his pocket and found therein a suede glove, a ribbon and three hair pins. The breeze brought the eshing odor of to his mouth watered and his jaws ached. At double quick he charged on the wagon and ap- ropriated the largest orange he could lay | s hands on. There was a muttered | “Caramba,” and numerous other things, as the son of Sunny Italy pounced on the guardian of Uncle Sam’s honor. The event was witnessed from the camp and emptied in about three seconds. As soon as the fracas was safely over and danger past the pet of the chief strolled leisurely along with his knuckles | in his eyes. e son of Italy, seeing a policeman, remembered the old adage and | told his troubles—told them in a way that | made the blood of the disciple otyLees; and other great men boil and he resolved | a mightly resolve. He would charge the camp of the enemy alone. Here was an open gateway to fame and laurels such as even the mighty chief of the San Fran- | cisco police force had never dreamed of | pinning—but he reckoged = without his | ost. The ornament of doorposts approached the lines and selected a youth frail and fair of countenance as the victim of his | indignation, and, waiving the formalities of a permit, entered the camp. The boys saw what was coming and simply looked | wise until he was fairly within the lines. | He started in pursuit of the soldier, who | b, ran a few steps and made a sign, which | might have been a salute but which per- haps was not, and then unceremoniously ducked into a tent. The man who is su- | preme among civilians attempted to en- | ter, but found his way barred by four | shining bay At the same moment | the heavy hand of a major was laid on | his shoulder, and the cry of “Guard fall in” grated unpleasantly upon his ears. | When informed that he was under arres: for entering the camp without a permit | great beads of perspiration stood on his brow and his helmet raised two inches. He tried to argue the question, but it was as futile as the efforts of a man to con- vince a policeman that he isn’t drunk when that worthy opines that he is. Officer Fell was given a half-hour In the guardhouse to commune with his inner consciousness upon the futility' of at- | tempting to get the best of Uncle Sam’s | boys. Many of them afterward expressed | keen disappointment that they were not | glven an opportunity to cradle him in a | blanket and play balloon ascension. SOLDIERS ENTERTAINED. Reception and Banquet Given by the Junior Order United American Mechanics. The reception and banquet given by the subordinate councils of the Junior Order United American Mechanics and the Daughters of Liberty to the members of the order belonging to the volunteer troops now here and the Grand Army and Woman’s Relief Corps filled B'nai B'rith Hall last evening as it never was before. Several hundred of the boys in blue at Camp Merritt obtained leave to attend the reception, while a large number of Grand Army men and their ladies were present. In addition the local members and those from Alameda County helped to fill the hall to overflowlnf. The arrangements were In charge .of State Vice-Councilor F. A. Tibbits and a committee consisting of the councilor of each subordinate council. The guests were first entertained with the following programme: Overture, orchestra; selec- tions, Columbia Zither Club;. song, Baby Mearns; “‘Our Order,” Charles Ro, cornet solo, C. J. Lesher; recitation, ‘Whitten; reading, L. J.

Th¢ | room and tables were beautifully deco- rated, which added to the relish' of the | viands. | Dancing was continued until long after | the cars stopped, but the soldier boys ' preferred the long walk to camp rather | than desertion of the pretty gitls, Alto- gether it was the most successful social a‘fer in the history of the order in ths city. | —_———— Sixth Califoroia Regiment.
