HoRRiBLE AccIDssr.--On Saturday morning,
about Q o'clock, q lad by the name Of Charles A.
Green, son Of Thomas Green, letter carrier, 70!
siding on G street, near First street west. was
killed BY being run over by one Of tho -Four.
teenth. street cars at the Baltimore depot. The
facts as ELECTED, proved that tho car was being
backed down on the main tack, preparatory to
leaving on It's regular trip, and that the boy at.
tempted 10 get on from the rear. He succeeded
In getting on, but fell of as the car was sing
on another track, the wheels passing over his
head, crushing II In the most horrible manner,
the brains Of tho child running over the track.
Tho car was immed ediately stopped and the lad
picked up by Officer Brewer and conveyed to the
residence of his parents. Dr. Munder was sum
moned, but medical skill was Of no avail as the
little sufferer breethed his last In ten minutes
from the occurrence. In the absence Of the cor.
oner by sickness, a jury was summoned at the
house by Justice Walter, composed Of the fol.
lowing gentlemen Messrs. Thomas Thornley,,
foreman Chris Boyle, J. Terrence, D. O'Brien,
Patrick Welsh, s. D. Houch, A. Lsutner, s N.
Smith. *. Brewer, @. Pierce, A. Borden, and
Charles Jones.
After hearing the testimony, the jury rendered
q verdict that "the deceased, Chas. A. Green,
came to his death this November 2, 1867, by the
wheels of a railroad car on Now Jersey avenue,
running over his head, and crushing him to
lueatnt ue having attempted 10 nhng on Outsiuo
OF said car. And the Jury do further agree that
the persons in charge Of tho car at the time arc
not censurablo for neglect of duty"
The sad affair created much excitement in tho
vicinity, and we do hope tha, the warning will
not pass unheeded.
