Perlls Of tho Elevated RaIlroad

Per1is OF the Elevated Railroad
Julia Aldhous, q we'll l.educated young
lady, received injuries at Fiftieth street
on the Sixth Avenue Elevated Railroad.
on Friday night, from which she died
soon after being taken to the Roosevelt
Hospital. Opinion is divided as to
whether her death was accidental OF
whether she committed suicide. She
was standing on the platform as the
train approached, and was next seen
lying beside the track in a mangled
condition.
Her brother, with whom she made
her home, is of the opinion that she
found herself ON the wrong platform,
and becoming confused and excited at
tempted to cross in front of the ap-
preaching engine. She herself, before
she died, told the surgeon at the hos
pltal that she was pushed from the
platform, while other persons who
knew her say that she was subject to
fits of dependency, and that she was
not entirely happy in her brothers
house. Those who were near by when
she stepped from the platform believe
that she committed suicide.
Walter Ketchum, brakeman on the
same railroad, who was knocked from
car on Friday afternoon as is alleged,
by man standing on the platform,
died on Saturday morning. Anthony
Reddlngton, Thomas Farrell and man
named Cuneo came to the Bleecker
street station to take the train. Far
rell and Cuneo got on a car, but Red
dington got into an alteration with a
brakeman as he was closing the gate,
and in the tussle the brakeman was
knocked from the platform OF his car
and fell to the street below. Redding-
ton and Farrell are under arrest.

Father LyoUS InsulGod i.

The Pbilsdelphia Record says;
There was a dramatic scene in the Cath
olic church al Elkton, at the funeral OF
John Stockton, a saloon keeper ol
that place, who died on Monday.
Father Ly the Catholic priest, in
the midst Of his sermon, was diScanting
somewhat severely upon the sin Of in.

more ways than one in which o man
could imperil his soul, or q woman,
either, for that matter. IA man." he
said, looking at the coffln before him,
''could do II at ten cents drink" and
looking toward Emma the daughter
of the deceased, who had been in
charge of The saloon during her fathers
illness, a barmaid can imperil here

AT this the daughter startled priest
and congregation by jumping up and
shouting: you're liarl"
Then there was great huhbub. The
priest turned pale and red by turns and
scarcely knew what to do or say. People
jumped on their feet and some cried
"for shame" But son of the dead
man capped the climax by rushing
to the altar and crying out, ''Yes, you
are drunk, you know you are," and
emphasized his remarks by striking the
coffin lid with his clenched fist. This
was too much for the indignant priest,
who left the pulpit in disgust, remark
ing; "I'll have no more to do with this,
You can finish the funeral yourself"
Before he could get out, however, the
wife of the dead man shouted out II

for after the priest had left the church
the pail bearers took the body to the
grave and the widow threw three hand
fuls of dust on the coffin, pronouncing

the grave was quickly filled up. The
