Funeral Expenses

colored undertaken named James Dabney
was charged In the Police Court to-day with
assaulting, with intent to XIII, another colorod
man named Elijah chapman, who claimed
with his nst and then drew revolver, The
evidence was TO tho effect that Chapman was
walking home from market with his second
wife, ana the undertaken assaulted him and
demanded to be paid for burying his Chap
man's) first wife. The money was not forth
coming, and the undertaken got mad and com.
mittod the assault. II was not shown that he
had a pistol, and the Court evidently thought
that man should pay his first wlfe's funeral
expenses before he is welded a second time,
and tho defendant was released on SO line.

WHY WAS THIS suppREssED7
An Accident that Resulted in the
Death of Little Boy, and tbat
Mna DcIlberatelY Suppreaseh.

An Accident that Resulted iu the
Death of n Little Boy, and that
was Deliberately Suppressed.
Not many days ago little Johnnie Johnson,
the @ year, old son Of W. II. johnson, an en-.
ploye OF the Washington & Georgetown Rail-
road Company, was buried, having died from
tho effects OF injuries received ON the 9th OF
last May. The llttlo one had suffered agonies
for nine weeks before death released him from
pain. Some feeling has been caused by tho
affair, 1t being claimed that the railroad com
pany, one OF whose drivers was responsible
for the injury TO the child, was
Trying TO Hush tbe Matter Up 10
Defeat the Ends 10 Justice.
A CRITIC reporter visited the car depot,
where the accident occurred and learned from
one who was near by when tho boy was in.
trance to the depot, when ~ car rounded the
curve to enter. The child was caught between
and was badly crushed. 1t was afterward car.
ried home. The gentleman did not think the
driver was to blame.
"Children are playing around tho cars In the
stables great deal, aud It Is sometimes i'm.
possible for tho drivers TO keep track OF them
all. think this accident was more tho childs
fault than the drivers"
Tho reporter went then TO tho residence OF
the parents which is In little alley Just west
OF the stables. Mrs. johnson, the mother of
the child, said with emphasis that sho be-
Guilty of Gross Neglect.
Tho child, she said, was sitting on stone
near where the cars came in. Car No. % came
around the curve 80 quick that the child could
not get up In time. Tho driver made no effort
TO stop the car; he could have done It, but he
didn't try, and rs the poor little thing rose up
the car came right along and jammed against
Its breast. II was just smashed right In. The
poor child for nine long weeks suffered such
ngony as only know, and to think that the
man who injured II came around to see II only
once. He had no heart. Then
The Company Got My Husband TO
Sign q Paper
saying that this thing was an accident, and
that the driver was NOT to blame, but won {
say 80. 1t was nothing but the carelessness
OF the driver. Then the company never gave
US a cent for doctors bills and funeral ex-
penses, and declare, running behind as we
did, don't know how We did got along. or
course, my husband can't do anything or he
would lose his situation; but l feel Just like
bringing q suit against the company. Some
OF the drivers came around. They had real
hearts. They raised some money for our
funeral expenses and helped us consider
ably"
At the station.houso It was learned that no
report had ever been made OF the accident,
and, In fact, little seemed to BIO known about
II, and that little had come from outside
sources, not from the officers reports. At the
time tho accident attracted little attention,
and as no complaint was made the matter was
forgotten.
