In the crowd that hurried to board the
Harlem train on the Sixth avenue elevated
railway at Twenty-third street at G :35 o'clock
last evening was little fair-haired. blue-eyed
girl about years old, who carried a big
bundle in small hand. She was accom-
panied by her father. who has but one leg. and
another man. The men got on the forward
platform of the third car. As she was about
getting on. she dropped her bundle. and the
candy it contained was scattered on the plat
form. The little girl made desperate scram-
BILE to save what she could Of it. and while she
was so occupied the train began to move. The
gate swung to as she tried to step upon the
tho candy. she was forced violently back.
g. The station men say that the little girls
in danger, and. Selling her with u backward
swing of his arm by the shoulder, attempted TO
d1ss h s enn Of the
cars upon the guards Of the east rail. She fell
lengthwise along the guards, In an instant
skull and went tearing through the little body.
She was, cut TO pieces. and fragments were
scattered over the street below.
The father had uttered a great cry as the
child disappeared under the train but oil this

tell it, and the train had gone q block and a

The name OF this. the youngest victim Of an
elevated railway accident, was Mary MenDene.
She was the daughter Of Joseph Menzene, a
photographers assistant. employed by Bo-
gardus. The man who was with her father was
derstood by the police to be either 116 West
1OSth street. or 1l6 East 108th street. A re-
porter fruitlessly searched Harlem last even
ing. but could find neither man. The above
account rests therefore chiefly upon the state
ments OF the railway employees.
The news of the accident spread about the
city. and all tho evening crowd blocked the
thoroughfare at Twenty third street and Sixth
avenue. where the pavement was still stained
with the chids blood.
