Inquest by Coroner Keenau--Negiiaence Of the

Inquest by Coroner keenau-NeRliaence Of the
City Railroad Companies.
Coroner Keenan, yesterday morning began an in
quest on the body Of Jason Carson the boy fourteen
years OF age, who was killed a few days ago by being
struck by a locomotive OF the Harlem Railroad while
he was standing on the rear platform Of one Of the
cars OF the Belt City Railroad at Fifty y-ninth street
aud Fourth avenue.
The first witness called was Henry f. Hahoway,
the engineer OF the locomotive who testified as fol-
lows;--
/ was the engineer OF the locomotive which passed
Fiityninth street about haifpast Ave O'Clock the
28th, utimo; the tram on It's way to the city.
and when we neared Sixtieth street / saw the
horse cars coming through Fiftynnth street, going
west; Immediately reversed the engine and whisted
down brakes; the driver OF the horse could
have the train coming ten blocks OF; there IL
no sagman at the crossing; the buildings between
Lexington and Fourth avenues prevented me from
seeing the horse car In Fifty ninth street.
Thomas EIIwood the conductor OF the train testt-
ned TO hearing the whistle to put on the brakes and
that the cars were stopped about Fiy eighth street
and that Oh getting out he found the body OF Carson
lying on the ground near the track. AS far as he
knew there were no regulations about the track
crossing there being no warning post, no nagman
nor ls there any agreement between the steam ra
road aud the horse railroad as to which should have
the right OF way.
Isaac woolly testified that he was working near
the track at the time the accident occurred; t
ABOUT quarter-past five o'clock; the first thing
that attracted his attention was the whistle
zee what the cause Of II was he saw
the horse car Just about 10 cross the Harlem track
at Fifty ninth street; the horses az the time were
between the rails OF the Harlem track and the car
was Just nearing them, gong up the little ascent
which Is caused by the raised ground about the
track al the time the locomotive was about 200 feet
distant; he saw the locomotive strike the rear plat
FORM which was twisted about by the COLLISION the
portion that was struck tapping over on the oppo
