TERRIBLE ACCIDENT TO A DAUGHTER OF
A FoRaER CITIZEN ,oF. R1cHMoSD.--Eu-
phrosyne Frances Boudar, aged ten years,
daughter Of Joseph. G.. Boudar, formerly
OF Richmond, now Of No. 315 Mulberry
street, Baltimore, WINS severely injured about
G O'Clock Tuesday morning by blow from
brick which fell frem some projection on
the fifth story of the Baltimore american
building. Mr.. Boudar states that he had
taken the child, with younger sister, to
sec the decorations on Baltimore street.
They had reached the=Anerican building,
and were standing almost directly in front
was proStrated by the falling brick.
1t - struck fairly on the crown Of the
head. and broke to pieces, which
scattered on the pavement. The blow
drove in the frontal bone to the brain, a
part OF which oozed out through the OPEN
ing. The father says the girls were on
either side OF him, the younger one being
next the steps OF the american building,
and the elder one on the outside. 1t is
thought that the brick struck some Of the
cornice work Of the building and bounced
out in the direction OF Mr.. Boudar. The
brick is supposed to have been used while
putting up gas letting around the statues
OF Franklin and Morse, and probably was
thrown down by the waving flags. =
The girl was picked up unconscious and
taken into the Americdn office, and Drs.
Hill, Butler, and Maddux We're. sent for.
| She was afterwards removed to her home,
where she fingered unconsciously to late
hour Tuesday night. The physicians abb
stracted three large pieces OF bone directly
from tho brain. They give it as their opin-
ion that the little girl cannot possibly live,
but may lingcr some time. She wore very
thick straw hat. which evidently prevented
, instantaneous death. .i-..a
